Speeches in the chamber
13 Jul 2026 Death of Ann Widdecombe
There are no words to express the sadness we feel about the passing of Ann Widdecombe, but the sadness, unfortunately, is turning to anger—anger at not just the social media companies, but all of us in this place and the politicians, and s…
1 Jul 2026 Engagements
Q13. In Ashfield, four workers, including two nurses, were kicked out of their HMO, only for Serco to put four illegal migrants in their place. One of those illegal migrants was a Pakistani national who went on to rape a vulnerable youn…
24 Jun 2026 Climate Change
My hon. Friend is making a passionate and very intelligent speech. Is he aware that we are also importing from China wind turbines—windmills, if you like—that are stuffed with asbestos?
24 Jun 2026 Climate Change
The hon. Lady is making a very passionate speech. She seems to be an expert on this subject, so could she advise the House by how much it would reduce the Earth’s temperature if this country became net zero right this minute?
22 Jun 2026 British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme
I thank the hon. Member for his intervention, and I agree 100% with the point he has made. I thank all Members who have turned up tonight—I would have expected a few more, because there are probably 200 coalfield constituencies in this …
22 Jun 2026 British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme
The hon. Gentleman makes a good point. Members of both schemes need the justice that they deserve. I live in a coalmining community; I was born there, and I have lived there all my life. I feel incredibly proud of the contribution that …
22 Jun 2026 British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme
Those are very wise words. It is very encouraging to hear that whoever becomes the next PM will treat this issue seriously. Let me go back to my original request. Will the Minister commit to ensuring that the scheme can share 100% of an…
22 Jun 2026 British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme
Justice and fairness are the two key words in this debate.
22 Jun 2026 British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme
I thank the right hon. Gentleman for his wisdom, and he is quite right. I am sure that many of the ex-miners watching this debate will be very encouraged by his intervention. I have two questions for the Minister. Will he commit to work…
22 Jun 2026 British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme
It is heart-warming to know that former miners are living out their final years in the hon. Gentleman’s constituency. He is quite right; they need to live in dignity, and a fairer surplus sharing agreement would allow them to live a more c…
22 Jun 2026 British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme
First, I would like to declare an interest: I am a former coal miner and a member of the British Coal staff superannuation scheme. In the 1950s, there were over 700,000 men working in the pits in this country—people like my grandads, gr…
9 Jun 2026 North Belfast: Violent Attack
Of course, the Secretary of State will know the answer to this question: did the assailant enter the United Kingdom as an illegal migrant or asylum seeker?
1 Jun 2026 Child Sexual Offender Data
I have spoken to several rape gang victims. Many of them tell me that they are fed up of hearing politicians call them brave. They want bravery from politicians; they want real action. Does the Minister agree that any British national who …
1 Jun 2026 Child Sexual Offender Data
The hon. Lady has come out with quite a few interesting bits of data. I wonder if she has any data on how many white British working-class girls have been systematically raped.
1 Jun 2026 Child Sexual Offender Data
I thank the hon. Member for giving way; he is being very generous with his time. I met the panel of the rape gang inquiry just a few months ago. I asked that information from the inquiry of the hon. Member for Great Yarmouth (Rupert Lowe) …
28 Apr 2026 Houses in Multiple Occupation
What would the Minister advise me or my local authority to do to stop HMOs kicking out working people in Ashfield and putting in illegal migrants?
28 Apr 2026 Houses in Multiple Occupation
I thank my hon. Friend, and I will put what I think he is trying to say more succinctly: the proliferation of these HMOs is turning some of our areas into ghettos. I have seen in Ashfield that, because of HMOs being filled with young me…
28 Apr 2026 Houses in Multiple Occupation
I think it is a matter for local councils to decide. In my constituency, HMOs are a big problem, and I am glad that my council has used article 4 in some areas, although I would like to see it rolled out to the whole constituency. We ha…
28 Apr 2026 Houses in Multiple Occupation
I do agree with the use of article 4 to put HMOs through the planning process. I have forced my local council to do that, but unfortunately it is doing it only in certain areas. I would like to see it being done throughout the constituency.
28 Apr 2026 Houses in Multiple Occupation
I am speaking about this subject tonight because over the past six years, I have been contacted by hundreds of families in Ashfield who have raised serious concerns about the impact that houses in multiple occupation are having on my commu…
