“Good afternoon, Sir Brian. I am Warinder Juss, the MP for Wolverhampton West. I am a solicitor, but not practising. I am also a member of the GMB executive council and of various APPGs.”

“My question is linked to the one Sarah asked. You said that increasing the number of sitting days would not make much difference because we do not have enough prosecutors and defence counsel. I assume that we will have a similar problem in not having enough judges. I just want to know whether you have a particular opin…”

“To clarify, if I have understood your answer, what you are saying, Sir Brian, is that for somebody who commits a crime the danger of being caught and locked up quicker is more of a deterrent than thinking they will get five years instead of 12 months’ imprisonment.”

“Does my right hon. Friend agree that wrongful releases of prisoners will have caused a lot of distress and anxiety to the victims, their families and others? Does he also agree that we inherited a prison system that was in complete chaos and in such major breakdown that, although we are now taking the appropriate actio…”

“14. What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help tackle violence against women and girls.”

“In the last couple of months the west midlands has seen a spate of racially motivated attacks on women of colour, including rapes of Sikh women, who now tell me that they are scared to walk on our streets or use public transport to go to work. Does the Minister agree that there is no place in Britain for any kind of ra…”

“Over 30 million people now need humanitarian aid in Sudan, and millions more have been displaced, with countless others living in fear, hunger and deprivation. Does the hon. Member agree that this crisis has been overlooked for far too long and that, for the sake of humanity, we need to turn our attention to Sudan and …”

“I received an email from a constituent explaining how his beloved video games have been rendered unplayable when the company decides to end server support.

“I thank my hon. Friend for bringing forward this debate. We know that care-experienced people face distinct discrimination and challenges throughout their lives. As of September, 125 local authorities have passed motions to recognise care experience as a protect characteristic, which is an important step towards tackli…”

“I am very grateful, Madam Deputy Speaker. Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the national curry awards here in Parliament. Penn Tandoori, which is just down the road from where I live in my constituency, was named Wolverhampton restaurant of the year. Will the Leader of the House join me in congratulating Penn …”

“Do you think that is likely to happen?”

“In June, the Public Accounts Committee heard that it was a bit of a challenge to roll out Pathfinder courts in London because of high caseloads. Is that still the position, or is the situation getting better?”

“But it is just getting that funding sorted, so somebody else needs to provide that.”

“I am the Member of Parliament for Wolverhampton West. I am a member of the GMB Union Executive Council and a member of various APPGs. I am a solicitor, although not practising at the moment.”

“Thank you, Sir Andrew. I am going to ask you about the Pathfinder courts. You have said previously that you think they are the future for private law cases. What feedback have you had from parents, children and victims of domestic abuse about their experience of Pathfinder courts? Why do you think they are the future, …”

“I am the Member of Parliament for Wolverhampton West. I am a member of the GMB Union Executive Council and a member of various APPGs. I am a solicitor, although not practising at the moment.”

“Are these cases getting resolved, or are they coming back?”

“I perhaps should not ask the next question, then. You are obviously of the view that we should have a family drug and alcohol provision in every court area.”

“Thank you, Sir Andrew. I am going to ask you about the Pathfinder courts. You have said previously that you think they are the future for private law cases.
