Yemen

Commons Chamber on 12 January 201712/01/2017

Will the Minister give way?

Yemen

Commons Chamber on 12 January 201712/01/2017

I do not think that there is a huge gap between what my hon. Friend and the Minister are saying. When I was at the Security Council, what was in the draft resolution was certainly common knowledge, and every member of the Security Council spoke in favour...

Will my hon. Friend give way?

Yemen

Commons Chamber on 12 January 201712/01/2017

Because of the vacuum that has been created—obviously, with a new Administration—Britain holds the pen, as we are told, at the Security Council. There is nothing to stop us hosting a conference that tries to bring all sides together or tabling a resolutio...

Yemen

Commons Chamber on 12 January 201712/01/2017

The worst thing about my having intervened from a sedentary position is that the hon. Gentleman did not hear what I said. My sister and I were both born there, it is just that he said that we were born when he arrived in Aden, and I was making the point t...

Yemen

Commons Chamber on 12 January 201712/01/2017

We are not related to you, by the way.

Yemen

Commons Chamber on 12 January 201712/01/2017

If anyone should be allowed to exceed their six minutes, it is the right hon. Member for North East Bedfordshire (Alistair Burt), who is worth all the minutes he speaks about this important subject. Those who have been in the all-party group on Yemen, whi...

Yemen

Commons Chamber on 12 January 201712/01/2017

I pay tribute to my hon. Friend and his Committee for the work that they have done on Yemen, and, indeed, to the hon. Member for Warwick and Leamington (Chris White), The issue here is not just the scorecard of shame to which my hon. Friend has referre...

Yemen

Commons Chamber on 10 January 201710/01/2017

I thank the Minister and the Foreign Secretary for their personal efforts in trying to broker a ceasefire. That is the key: we need a ceasefire in the same way as Turkey and Russia managed to achieve one for Syria. Have there been any further discussions...

Christmas Adjournment

Commons Chamber on 20 December 201620/12/2016

I was going to say something about Arsenal—I thank my hon. Friend—because, of course, Mr Speaker is a great supporter of theirs. What unites us, of course, is that we do not really want to see Chelsea win the league. I think that it is Arsenal’s turn, but...

Christmas Adjournment

Commons Chamber on 20 December 201620/12/2016

It is an absolute pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Kingston and Surbiton (James Berry), who gave an excellent speech. He is right to have raised the problems of extremism and hate crime on the world wide web. I had to step out during the debate beca...

Christmas Adjournment

Commons Chamber on 20 December 201620/12/2016

May I pay tribute to the hon. Gentleman for all his work on behalf of the Hindu community, not just in Harrow but throughout the country? He and I compete as to the number of British Hindus in our constituencies, although I probably just beat him in Leice...

Evidence-based Medicine

Commons Chamber on 20 December 201620/12/2016

The evidence is very clear that eating more sugar increases the risk of diabetes. Apart from introducing the sugar tax, what further evidence-based research can be used by the Government to reduce the risk of diabetes?

Brandon Rayat

Westminster Hall on 20 December 201620/12/2016

I beg to move, That this House has considered the case of Brandon Rayat. It is a great pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Hollobone. I am very pleased to see the Minister here. I am grateful for the opportunity to raise the case of Brando...

Yemen

Commons Chamber on 19 December 201619/12/2016

I am glad that Yemen is being discussed again in the House today, but I am sad and disappointed that we are doing so for these reasons. Of course I accept the assurances given by the Minister, and I know he will ensure that the Saudi Arabian Government wi...

HMP Birmingham

Commons Chamber on 19 December 201619/12/2016

If the Secretary of State is looking for some light reading over Christmas, she would do well to acquire a copy of a book by the hon. Member for Hexham (Guy Opperman), “Doing Time: Prisons in the 21st Century”, which contains a number of ideas. If I heard...

European Council 2016

Commons Chamber on 19 December 201619/12/2016

May I press the Prime Minister on the reply she gave to the parliamentary leader of the Scottish National party, the right hon. Member for Moray (Angus Robertson), on Yemen? I appreciate she was the only leader of a foreign country to address the Gulf Coo...

Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

Commons Chamber on 14 December 201614/12/2016

I am astonished at those figures, but I think they are witness to what the shadow Home Secretary has said about access to the internet and social media. Individuals who may be very young could be operating from their homes, involving themselves in this ki...

Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

Commons Chamber on 14 December 201614/12/2016

I along with others in the House completely support the Minister’s decision to proscribe this organisation. Ministers obviously have important and sensitive information that they are unwilling to share with the House on such occasions, but the Minister ha...

Prevention and Suppression of Terrorism

Commons Chamber on 14 December 201614/12/2016

In the evidence presented to the Home Secretary by the agencies before the decision was made to proscribe the group, was there any evidence of any links with other organisations in different parts of Europe? We have seen that far right groups tend not to...
