Speeches by Ribeiro-Addy.

“Do you accept the conclusions of Dr Shereen Daniels’s report on racism in the Met? She described the Met as having discrimination “baked into” its institutional design.”

“My hon. Friend and constituency neighbour in Lambeth is making an excellent speech. The arbitrary cap, which I believe was initially created in the fair funding review, created the unintended consequence of leaving Lambeth missing out on the funding that it would have otherwise received. That means that Lambeth has los…”

“I thank the hon. Member for Argyll, Bute and South Lochaber (Brendan O'Hara) for bringing forward this vital debate. To many of us, it has always been abundantly clear that what is taking place in Palestine does indeed constitute a genocide. Since the Israeli attacks began in 2023, more than 70,000 people have been kil…”

“Home Secretary, you have covered what you think is the purpose of the mandatory minimum economic requirement, but we have heard that that proposal will affect a huge number of people. Regardless of the arguments about high earners and the best and brightest, probably the exact industries where we currently have quite l…”

“Thinking of another group of people who the requirement might affect, would it be fair to apply it to households where one parent is caring for children rather than working?”

“Would people who would qualify for ILR today but could not afford to pay the application fee be affected by the changes? Would the changes apply to them?”

“A lot of these questions are coming up because of the anxiety of retrospectivity. This is causing a lot of issues, so the question is: if somebody had the right to apply but could not afford it today, what would happen?”

“In the evidence we have received from immigrants, we are finding that they have planned their lives around a five-year route. They are selling property in their home countries, turning down other jobs and delaying having children. Do you think it is fair to those people for the terms of their route to settlement to be …”

“Okay, but to go back to the retrospective nature of this, what advice did you seek when deciding whether to apply the changes retrospectively?”

“So there are going to be plans to assess people as households as opposed to as individuals.”

“Yes, definitely—it was more about the advice you sought.”

“I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to prohibit giving or receiving a reward for the supply of, or for offering to supply, human remains or any object partially consisting of human remains; to prohibit advertising the sale, exchange, or offer of sale or exchange, of human remains or any object partial…”

“At the moment, the Home Office assesses people as individuals. Why do that when people generally plan as households?”

“Could any type of modification be made to these earned settlement proposals that would address a lot of the concerns that you have or would they have to be dealt with differently?”

“Is the cost an implication? I know PRCBC did a lot of work on getting the waiver in place, but I know it is not necessarily always being granted.”

“Are particular groups of children at risk of missing out?”

“What are some of the practical consequences for children and young people when that right to citizenship is either delayed or denied?”

“Solange, I want to ask some questions about citizenship because it follows on from that. They changed the law in 1981 so you were not automatically British if you were born here. I think that is the case. Why are you concerned about the implications of the proposed changes for children’s access to British citizenship?”

“What would you change to make the system fairer?”

“Do you want to touch a little bit on the impact that immigration status has on education and employment? You did mention it a little bit before, but could you speak about some of the people you work with and what this ends up doing to them?”
