| 5 Nov 2025 | Council of Europe and the European Convention on Human Rights “I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this debate. The European convention gives us the right not to be tortured, not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law, to have a fair trial, to have privacy and to have freedom of expression. I ask all the people who are against it: what rights do they think the …” immigrationdefenceculture-community | 65 |

| 5 Nov 2025 | Fresh and Nutritious Food: Inequality of Access “My hon. Friend is rightly talking about access to proper food. In my constituency, FareShare helps to redistribute more than 325,000 meals a year to 11 local charities. That is a lifeline for families struggling to afford fresh food. Nationally, however, hundreds of thousands of tonnes of edible food still go to waste.…” healthcost-of-livinglocal-government | 73 |
| 3 Nov 2025 | Video Games: Consumer Law “My hon. Friend is making a great speech. On amending the law, what is required is a simple amendment to the Consumer Rights Act 2015, to ensure that when a game requires online support, developers must allow the purchaser to continue receiving that support.” culture-communitytechnology | 44 |
| 3 Nov 2025 | Public Office (Accountability) Bill “I am proud to support this important Bill and to pay tribute to the Hillsborough families, whose courage and determination have brought us to this moment. Their decades of struggle have changed our country and created a chance to ensure that no family ever again has to fight for truth alone. The Bill is about truth, fa…” crimesocial-caremp-performance | 526 |
| 3 Nov 2025 | Public Office (Accountability) Bill “The Prime Minister is being very generous in taking all our questions. I congratulate him on introducing this Bill, but can the duty of candour be applied fully to all investigations, including independent panels, and not just statutory inquiries? Does he agree that the command responsibility must rest personally with …” crimesocial-caremp-performance | 58 |
| 3 Nov 2025 | Video Games: Consumer Law “It is simply a matter of justice that if someone has paid for a product, either physical or digital, they should be able to use it for as long as they like. The fact that a company goes bust should not make any difference to that.” culture-communitytechnology | 46 |
| 14 Oct 2025 | Healthcare: Bolton “It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Lewell. I thank my hon. Friend and neighbour the Member for Bolton North East (Kirith Entwistle) for securing this important debate. As she said, our other hon. Friend the Member for Bolton West (Phil Brickell) has a prior commitment, so he is not able to attend thi…” healthlocal-government | 1,088 |
| 13 Oct 2025 | Criminal Courts: Independent Review “It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Efford. I am grateful to the right hon. and learned Member for Kenilworth and Southam (Sir Jeremy Wright) for securing this debate. It is right that this House examines Sir Brian Leveson’s review with care before any legislation is brought forward. I spent many year…” crimeeconomy-jobslocal-government | 466 |
| 14 Sept 2025 | Children with SEND: Assessments and Support “That point was made by the parents, and I was going to come to it in my speech. Children are being placed in classrooms that do not meet their needs, and some of them are being forced out of school—others attend for just a few hours. Often, teaching assistants are given just one afternoon of generic training; they are …” educationsocial-carelocal-government | 202 |
| 14 Sept 2025 | Children with SEND: Assessments and Support “Sorry. I am sure that many hon. Members have been to their local schools and been told that, since covid, the number of children with SEND has gone up, so the White Paper and the consultation are really important, and I know the Government will listen to everything we have been saying.” educationsocial-carelocal-government | 52 |
| 14 Sept 2025 | Children with SEND: Assessments and Support “In anticipation of the White Paper, I held a roundtable with parents and children with SEND in my constituency of Bolton South and Walkden. They told me that it is still very much a postcode lottery when it comes to SEND provision, and that children with autism and other SEND conditions are being placed in classrooms t…” educationsocial-carelocal-government | 62 |
| 7 Sept 2025 | Indefinite Leave to Remain “I thank the Chair of the Petitions Committee for that helpful intervention. In all honesty, what people are asking for is fairness. That is it—simple fairness.” immigrationsocial-careeconomy-jobs | 26 |
| 7 Sept 2025 | Indefinite Leave to Remain “It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Pritchard. I welcome the Minister to his new Department. I worked with him when he was in the Department for Housing, Communities and Local Government; he listened, and I got £20 million for the regeneration of Farnworth in my constituency. I hope he is in a listeni…” immigrationsocial-careeconomy-jobs | 416 |
| 2 Sept 2025 | Duty of Candour for Public Authorities and Legal Representation for Bereaved Families “It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mrs Hobhouse. I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool West Derby (Ian Byrne) for securing this debate. I speak as chair of the all-party parliamentary group on Primodos, which I have led for over a decade alongside affected families in their fight for …” social-carecrimehealth | 315 |
| 2 Sept 2025 | Duty of Candour for Public Authorities and Legal Representation for Bereaved Families “Meanwhile, the Government have pursued legal strike-out applications to shut down the families’ cases—blunt tools that treat them as vexatious, even while Ministers have accepted in public that there was a failing. I call on the Government to recognise Primodos as a case study of breach of candour, to implement the Cum…” social-carecrimehealth | 75 |
| 23 Jun 2025 | Topical Questions “T6. Tulsi Gabbard, the US Director of National Intelligence, said in March that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon, as did the UN atomic energy agency. However, a day before a conference on recognising Palestine, Israel decided unilaterally that Iran had a nuclear weapon, and that there was an immediate threat of a…” defenceimmigrationculture-community | 87 |

| 11 Jun 2025 | SEND Funding “I congratulate the right hon. Member for Beverley and Holderness (Graham Stuart) on securing this debate. This is an issue close to my heart. I used to be a school governor as well as a college governor, and I remember setting up—along with other teachers and professionals—a specific learning unit, as well as a general…” educationlocal-governmentfiscal-policy | 362 |
| 11 Jun 2025 | Spending Review: Health and Social Care “I draw the attention of the House to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests, as chair of the all-party parliamentary group for dentistry and oral health. Access to NHS dentistry is in crisis, including in my constituency. New analysis by the British Dental Association shows that the share of NHS fundi…” healthsocial-carefiscal-policy | 137 |
