Speeches in the chamber
7 Jul 2026 Human Rights in Kashmir
I absolutely agree. No one’s views, no matter how harsh or difficult they may sound, should be used as a means of torture or a means of distracting them from the agenda by making their families in Azad Jammu and Kashmir feel the brunt of w…
7 Jul 2026 Human Rights in Kashmir
It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mrs Harris, and I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Bradford East (Imran Hussain) for securing this important debate. I speak today not only as a British Kashmiri but as someone who w…
22 Jun 2026 UK Politics: Pro-Israel Influence
Although I agree with my hon. Friend’s sentiments, this debate is about lobby groups, and especially the Israeli Government. Pro-Israeli lobby groups have paid hundreds of thousands in political donations in the UK. The amount of eviden…
22 Jun 2026 UK Politics: Pro-Israel Influence
It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mrs Harris. This debate touches on a principle fundamental to our democracy: British democracy is by the British people, for the British people and accountable to the British people. No fo…
21 May 2026 Middle East
I welcome the Minister’s statement, and his condemnation of Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, in particular for their horrific and appalling treatment of both Europeans and Palestinians, but does he agree that condemnation alone is not sufficient, an…
21 Apr 2026 Middle East: Economic Update
The Prime Minister was right not to take part in the war led by Donald Trump and Netanyahu, and the Chancellor is right not to engage in a knee-jerk reaction to this economic difficulty. However, will she keep under active consideration th…
20 Apr 2026 Security Vetting
I believe that there are two sides to this. One is about process, and the other is about judgment. On process, I believe that the Prime Minister was not told about the security vetting clearance, and that, had he known, he would have sacke…
15 Apr 2026 Single Status of Worker
My hon. Friend is making an important point about the exploitation of workers with very little legal protection. Does he agree that it must be incumbent on all employees to have union recognition, whereby the voices of employees, no matte…
23 Feb 2026 Schools White Paper: Every Child Achieving and Thriving
I welcome the statement. Many parents in my constituency are frustrated with the current system, which is broken, not fit for purpose and does not meet the needs of children. Will the Secretary of State let us know the details about the co…
11 Feb 2026 Supported Exempt Accommodation: Birmingham
Given the delay in the Act coming into force, would the Minister consider issuing interim guidance so that local authorities can get on more swiftly with some of the changes that they have been asking for for a very, very long time?

4 Feb 2026 Armed Conflict: Children

4 Feb 2026 Armed Conflict: Children
I thank my hon. Friend for securing this important debate. Does she agree that children are often used as tools, and even child soldiers, in many areas of conflict? In Sudan, for example, the conflict between the Rapid Support Forces and t…
21 Jan 2026 Waste Collection: Birmingham and the West Midlands
I thank my hon. Friend and constituency neighbour for giving way. On fairness of pay, does she agree that we should not be equalising downwards, but that women’s pay should be equalised up to what men are paid?
21 Jan 2026 Waste Collection: Birmingham and the West Midlands
Does my hon. Friend agree that the narrative played out by the leadership of the council is that the dispute will have a huge impact on equal pay? If that is the case, just as Unite has published the KC’s advice, should the council not sho…

In 2020, our delegation from the APPG on Kashmir was refused entry to Indian-occupied Kashmir, and we were given full, free and unfettered access to the side of Kashmir administered by Pakistan. If India has nothing to hide, why does it no…
