Speeches in the chamber

I thank my hon. Friend for securing this timely and important debate, and for her tireless work on these matters over such a long time. Fourteen years of austerity have meant cuts to important resources in our public services, including th…
14 Jul 2026 Public Office (Accountability) Bill
I totally agree with my hon. Friend that no one should be exempt, and I pay tribute to everybody who has got us here today. I also pay tribute to my right hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool Garston (Maria Eagle), who has campaigned ov…
14 Jul 2026 Public Office (Accountability) Bill
I rise in support of new clauses 5 and 6, and Government new clause 8, and I would like to declare my interest as chair of the all-party parliamentary group on miscarriages of justice. As we all know, Hillsborough stands as one of the grea…
13 Jul 2026 Immigration and Asylum Bill
A number of civil rights organisations are opposed to the changes to the appeals process, and the Bar Council has spoken out strongly against them. It has said that “it is in the interests of justice that the persons who decide immigrat…
6 Jul 2026 National Security (State Threats) Bill

22 Jun 2026 UK Politics: Pro-Israel Influence
Does my hon. Friend agree that the Government have not gone far enough to challenge the expansion of illegal settlements? Does he agree that too many red lines have been crossed, and that the Government have sat on their hands and done ver…
1 Jun 2026 Health Bill

Will my right hon. Friend give way?
19 May 2026 Lord Mandelson: Government Response to Humble Address

18 May 2026 Youth Justice

14 May 2026 Business of the House
