Speeches in the chamber
9 Jul 2026 Israeli Settlements: Trade Ban
I will not, in the interests of time, thank you. Nor is it only Israel’s sovereignty over occupied land that we risk legitimising; it is also the violent means by which these territories are being occupied. The United Nations Office for…
9 Jul 2026 Israeli Settlements: Trade Ban
For over half a century, successive Governments of every political persuasion have affirmed to this House that Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories are unlawful. This is not a matter of personal interpretation, but a…
8 Jul 2026 NHS Corridor Care

8 Jul 2026 NHS Corridor Care
The hon. Member makes a very powerful point. I will come to adult social care in a moment. We simply cannot end corridor care at the front door of the hospital when the back door remains jammed shut. I welcome the steps taken to reform …
8 Jul 2026 NHS Corridor Care
I thank my hon. Friend for raising that very important issue. Yet while corridor care was rising in our hospitals, the previous Government did not count the numbers. I pay tribute to my right hon. Friend the Member for Ilford North (Wes…
8 Jul 2026 NHS Corridor Care
I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Tooting (Dr Allin-Khan) for bringing this important matter to the House, and for talking so eloquently about her experiences on the frontline. Few issues speak to the state of our national health se…

30 Jun 2026 High Streets
The hon. Member is making a powerful speech. With reference to the change in the nature of our high street, he is absolutely right that online retail has taken over. Does that not mean that we need to look at a mixed-use offer that takes i…
8 Jun 2026 Digital Safety: Children
Unfortunately, I do not believe that the tech giants will do as they say and act in the right way on this issue. What consideration is the Minister giving to legislation, particularly to ensure that all platforms can meet the same standard…
8 Jun 2026 Unite the Kingdom Rally: Policing
Last week, I met one of my constituents who had faced horrible racist abuse on the train home from people who had been on the Unite the Kingdom rally. As someone of mixed white and middle eastern heritage, she told me that for the first ti…
18 Mar 2026 Social Media: Children and Young People
Parents in Gillingham and Rainham strongly back this Government’s efforts to keep children safe online. Does the Secretary of State agree that repealing the Online Safety Act, as Reform has pledged to do, would recklessly expose our childr…

3 Feb 2026 Town and City Centre Safety
It is a pleasure, Mr Dowd, to speak under your chairship. Our town centres are the heart of our communities. They give our towns identity and define how we interact with where we live. However, it is that very interaction that means peo…
2 Feb 2026 Indefinite Leave to Remain

28 Jan 2026 Youth Unemployment
I completely agree that those routes offer young people an alternative. They offer them a space where they have an opportunity to thrive in a way they might not have been able to thrive in a traditional academic setting. I recognise the n…
28 Jan 2026 Youth Unemployment

28 Jan 2026 Youth Unemployment
No, I will continue. Let us not forget the damage that the Conservatives caused by cutting youth services by 70% in real terms since 2010. A Government who presided over the rise in NEET numbers year after year cannot claim surprise at…
28 Jan 2026 Youth Unemployment
This debate lays bare the sheer hypocrisy of the Conservative party. Although I certainly do not welcome the numbers we are seeing on youth unemployment and recognise the challenge, this is not an issue that was created today. It was overs…
17 Dec 2025 Local Government Finance
After 14 years, the Tories should be ashamed of their legacy in local government. I know that my council, Medway, will welcome the Minister’s announcement about linking deprivation to funding, but we still face other challenges. Will she s…
