Syria

Commons Chamber on 16 April 201816/04/2018

As a former Secretary of State for International Development, I can say that the harrowing stories I heard from Syrian refugees—men, women and children—will stay with me for the rest of my life. Does the Prime Minister agree that, on their behalf, we sim...

Worboys Case and the Parole Board

Commons Chamber on 28 March 201828/03/2018

Can the Secretary of State confirm that the judgment today can be appealed, potentially by Worboys? If so, how long will that process take, and does it have to happen before any new panel can be constituted? Finally, can he confirm that any victims who...

Social Mobility and the Economy

Westminster Hall on 28 March 201828/03/2018

I simply want to finish the debate by thanking all hon. Members who have taken the time to contribute. For me, social mobility is something that we have never had in this country; it is not about this Government or the one before. It is a structural defi...

Social Mobility and the Economy

Westminster Hall on 28 March 201828/03/2018

The short answer is that we do not know, because to date young people have not really had the choices that they want and deserve when they want to follow a technical education route. If our technical education reforms open up that form of education as an...

Social Mobility and the Economy

Westminster Hall on 28 March 201828/03/2018

I am grateful for that intervention because it gives me the chance to point out that a recent study up in the north-east showed that 83% of young people felt that having work experience should be a compulsory part of the school curriculum. The challenge...

Social Mobility and the Economy

Westminster Hall on 28 March 201828/03/2018

The hon. Lady is right—this must be a two-way street. I put the call out to teachers to have the confidence to work with businesses that want to come and help raise aspirations for their young people, just as teachers themselves do. Inspiring the Future...

Social Mobility and the Economy

Westminster Hall on 28 March 201828/03/2018

A lot of hon. Members, particularly Conservative Members, would dispute those facts. I recognise that there is an important debate to be had on higher education, but I want to focus my comments on business and the economy because business has a key ro...

Social Mobility and the Economy

Westminster Hall on 28 March 201828/03/2018

I could not agree with my hon. Friend more. We face a simple but powerful problem: talent is spread evenly across the country, but opportunity is not. We need to ensure that we nurture that talent. I share his concern that educational attainment in Scotl...

Social Mobility and the Economy

Westminster Hall on 28 March 201828/03/2018

The hon. Gentleman makes a powerful point. The T-levels reform will help to ensure that the route a young person follows, whether they are interested in a more academic route and university, or want a more vocational, technical route, will be every bit a...

Social Mobility and the Economy

Westminster Hall on 28 March 201828/03/2018

I absolutely agree with the hon. Gentleman. There are three elements to that. First, it is great that the educational attainment gap is steadily closing, but it needs to happen faster. Secondly, businesses can play a role in lifting the aspirations of yo...

Social Mobility and the Economy

Westminster Hall on 28 March 201828/03/2018

I beg to move, That this House has considered social mobility and the economy. Most of our debates in this place are about problems, but today, I want to have a debate about solutions. Improving our poor social mobility is this country’s biggest ch...

Spring Statement

Commons Chamber on 13 March 201813/03/2018

Can the Chancellor give more detail on the announcement that the Office for National Statistics will work with the Treasury on a more sophisticated measure of human capital? In a knowledge-based economy, that becomes more crucial than ever for driving ou...

Vote 100 and International Women’s Day

Commons Chamber on 8 March 201808/03/2018

The hon. Lady is making an important point. A longer-term consequence of children in those communities growing up with violence around them is that domestic violence rates, even after peace is secured, are way higher than in other countries. It is vital...

Vote 100 and International Women’s Day

Commons Chamber on 8 March 201808/03/2018

I very much welcome all the work they are doing, and I hope the awards ceremony goes well. Achieving gender equality is down to all of us. It is a million-piece jigsaw. It is about millions of people around our country and around the world all doing thin...

Vote 100 and International Women’s Day

Commons Chamber on 8 March 201808/03/2018

It is a privilege to contribute to this hugely important debate. Gender inequality represents the biggest waste of talent on our planet right now, and closing that gap is not only a moral imperative but an economic imperative for us all. The figures on g...

Post-18 Education

Commons Chamber on 20 February 201820/02/2018

Like many Members of this House, I was the first person in my family to go to university, and wonderful universities, such as the University of Roehampton in my constituency, are now giving many young local people the same opportunity. I welcome that the...

Women’s Suffrage Centenary

Commons Chamber on 6 February 201806/02/2018

I think we all want to celebrate how important this day is. It is 100 years since women first got the vote. My message to any young woman or girl watching this is, “Go for it!” This is an amazing place to be able to speak up for your community, and we wan...

Presidents Club Charity Dinner

Commons Chamber on 24 January 201824/01/2018

I thank my right hon. Friend for her statement today. She has done absolutely the right thing. I share everybody’s anger, disgust and, frankly, astonishment that an event of this nature can even have taken place. Does she think that possibly one of the b...

Parole Board

Commons Chamber on 23 January 201823/01/2018

In relation to the Parole Board’s review of public safety, for those of us with deeply concerned victims of John Worboys in our constituencies, can my right hon. Friend confirm that the Government will at least co-operate with the judicial review now bei...

Topical Questions

Commons Chamber on 18 January 201818/01/2018

On what evidence are the Government now pushing ahead with what I believe to be a flawed plan for expanding Heathrow? The updated national policy statement shows that it is more expensive, lower value, more congesting, noisier, and provides fewer connect...
