Potholes and Road Maintenance

Westminster Hall on 5 June 201805/06/2018

I, too, congratulate the hon. Lady on securing this important debate—it is a shame it is only 30 minutes. Three massive sinkholes have appeared in recent weeks in my constituency, causing road havoc and other inconvenience to my constituents. Does she ag...

Public Legal Education

Westminster Hall on 15 May 201815/05/2018

I congratulate my hon. Friend on obtaining this important debate. As a former family lawyer for 23 years—that takes me back—I recognise the arguments he is making and will make. Does he agree that a public legal education programme should also focus on o...

Engagements

I welcome my right hon. Friend to his new role. Having worked with him, I know what a good, compassionate and caring man he is, and I know he will make an excellent Home Secretary. The Windrush generation and their children, some of whom sit in this H...

Windrush

Commons Chamber on 23 April 201823/04/2018

My right hon. Friend has already given a heartfelt apology, which was exactly the right thing to do, but will she please outline again the steps she is taking to make sure that a situation such as this never happens again?

Women and Work

Westminster Hall on 14 March 201814/03/2018

Women’s Suffrage Centenary

Social Mobility Commission

Commons Chamber on 4 December 201704/12/2017

Can the Minister confirm when the Government are likely to publish their social mobility strategy, and are there likely to be any changes in the light of what Alan Milburn has said in recent days and of his resignation?

Loneliness and Local Communities

Westminster Hall on 15 November 201715/11/2017

I congratulate the hon. Lady on securing this important debate. I have to say that her former colleague would be very proud of her and of my hon. Friend the Member for South Ribble (Seema Kennedy). This point has been made before, but I wish to make it a...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 14 November 201714/11/2017

My right hon. Friend is making a powerful case, as always, for equality. Does she agree that co-operation on issues such as female genital mutilation, human trafficking and other gender-based crimes should also be included in the exit agreement?

Puppy Smuggling

Westminster Hall on 1 November 201701/11/2017

Does the hon. Lady agree that banning third-party puppy sales might help to reduce impulse purchases, especially around Christmas?

Puppy Smuggling

Westminster Hall on 1 November 201701/11/2017

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing such an important debate. I hear what he says about the various actions that can and should be taken, but does he agree that there is an onus on owners, too, to ensure that puppies come from a legitimate source?...

Global LGBT Rights

Commons Chamber on 26 October 201726/10/2017

Does my hon. Friend agree that although in various countries there is a wide range of laws to protect victims of abuse and discrimination, many are deterred from using the law to protect themselves because of, for instance, high legal costs, a heavy burd...

Modern Slavery Act 2015

Commons Chamber on 26 October 201726/10/2017

I declare an interest as a trustee of the Human Trafficking Foundation. First, I pay tribute to a group of mainly former parliamentarians and a former judge who remains a Member of the other place: Anthony Steen MBE, Baroness Butler-Sloss, the right h...

Operation Stack/Lorry Parking in Kent

Westminster Hall on 25 October 201725/10/2017

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this important debate. I am extremely disappointed about the amount of time it is taking to action a solution to Operation Stack. Every time it is implemented, Maidstone—the county town of Kent—which is in my co...

English Language Teaching: Refugees

Westminster Hall on 24 October 201724/10/2017

I will be very quick. Does the hon. Gentleman agree with me that learning the language creates respect for difference, which is one of the fundamental factors in dealing not only with some of the causes, but with the root causes of racism?

Local Authority Funeral Charges

Westminster Hall on 24 October 201724/10/2017

I accept that the hon. Lady may well say more about this, but I wanted to mention that losing a child can be traumatic and can often lead to extreme financial hardship for the family, especially given the staggering costs to which she refers. I hope she...

Local Authority Funeral Charges

Westminster Hall on 24 October 201724/10/2017

A Better Defence Estate Strategy

Westminster Hall on 21 February 201721/02/2017

A Better Defence Estate Strategy

Westminster Hall on 21 February 201721/02/2017

As always, my right hon. Friend makes a very good point. I agree with everything he has said. There are some wonderful, beautiful, old, historic, listed buildings. I have one—the old officers’ mess—as part of Invicta Park barracks. I agree that there has...
