Violence in Rakhine State

Commons Chamber on 5 September 201705/09/2017

We must acknowledge the wrongdoings of the minority armed group, the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army, but the disproportionate response has escalated violence and enflamed a long-running human rights problem. It has also left other states such as Banglade...

Summer Adjournment

Commons Chamber on 20 July 201720/07/2017

We have had some excellent speeches, including a great maiden speech from the hon. Member for Reading East (Matt Rodda). I was at university in Reading, and I spent a lot of time drinking pints in The Nob, going to the kebab shop and eating Champ’s burge...

Fox-Sky Merger

Commons Chamber on 20 July 201720/07/2017

Does the Secretary of State agree that British broadcasting regulations mean that even a hypothetical Fox News UK would be a very different broadcaster from the US version?

Taxi Trade

Westminster Hall on 18 July 201718/07/2017

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Wilson. I congratulate the hon. Member for Ilford North (Wes Streeting) on securing this debate and on an excellent report. As a vice-chair of the all-party group on taxis, I would love to take lots o...

Defence Spending

Commons Chamber on 10 July 201710/07/2017

Is it not the case that we only need a growing defence budget if we are committed to leading in NATO, investing in our armed forces and giving them the equipment they need and maintaining our nuclear deterrent? Is it also not the case that this party is...

Q5. Will my right hon. Friend tell me what steps the Government are taking to drive value for money and efficiency in the aid budget, to ensure that the taxpayers’ money is used to promote global peace and security in the national interest?

Chris Gibb Report: Improvements to Southern Railway

Commons Chamber on 4 July 201704/07/2017

I totally agree and I was very specific about that. The Mayor of London did himself no favours by overstepping that mark. We need, with the congestion on the lines and the poor quality of the rail, to invest in the lines. The hon. Member for Mitcham a...

Chris Gibb Report: Improvements to Southern Railway

Commons Chamber on 4 July 201704/07/2017

I congratulate you, Madam Deputy Speaker, on taking your place. When I was first elected two years ago, I was campaigning to bring a number of extra train services to Sutton, including extending the London Overground, but I was rightly told by many p...

Chris Gibb Report: Improvements to Southern Railway

Commons Chamber on 4 July 201704/07/2017

Can the hon. Gentleman explain why the same union has agreed to 12-car-train driver-controlled operation on Thameslink, with the same company, and on the same lines?

European Union (Approvals) Bill

Commons Chamber on 4 July 201704/07/2017

I would like the hon. Gentleman to repeat his question in a little more detail, as my understanding of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights is that it is there to help interpret and work on Community law in its member states, so presumably if...

St Helier Hospital

Commons Chamber on 4 July 201704/07/2017

Rather than having empty political campaigns, does my hon. Friend have a sympathetic ear for an alternative, well thought-out plan for healthcare in Sutton which works clinically and financially and listens to all residents in Sutton?

Engagements

Commons Chamber on 19 April 201719/04/2017

Q12. I have seen rats and fly-tipping as a result of bins not having been emptied for up to three weeks across Lib Dem-run Sutton following a shambolic change to refuse collections. [Interruption.]When bin collections get into the national headlines, yo...

Engagements

Commons Chamber on 29 March 201729/03/2017

I congratulate my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on invoking article 50 today. Does she agree that this needs to be the end of the phoney war—the end of the posturing we have heard from Members on the Opposition Benches—and that we must now focus on...

East Africa (Food Security)

Commons Chamber on 29 March 201729/03/2017

East Africa (Food Security)

Commons Chamber on 29 March 201729/03/2017

3. What steps her Department is taking to tackle famine, hunger and food insecurity in east Africa.

School Funding (London)

Westminster Hall on 29 March 201729/03/2017

That is an interesting intervention, but I can only use the Sutton example. All our schools are excellent, including the ones that are not selective. Indeed, Stanley Park High School in Carshalton and Wallington won The Times Educational Supplement second...
