Speeches by Murray.

“Let us just focus on those criteria for a second. This contract was started in 2019, and costs have obviously gone up hugely since then. Quite a lot of things happened in the interim that you have been using to justify those cost increases: a pandemic, Government legislation, access to accommodation, multiple reasons. …”

“But retrospectively, have they been added?”

“I have a final question. Are there any safeguarding KPIs?”

“So that is not part of the contract?”

“Is it not an indicator that you are assessed against by the Home Office?”

“I want to ask a question about data sharing because we heard from a lot of local authorities and local organisations that are trying to cope when you open hotels in their areas. They have had real challenges in understanding and finding out what is going on. Why do you think they have those concerns? Do you get guidanc…”

“Would you both agree with that?”

“You can just say no, that is all right.”

“3. What steps she is taking to help support young people not in education, employment or training.”

“In the pandemic, young people were among the least at risk, but they gave up so much of their lives to protect those who were at risk. No generation has made such a sacrifice for another since the war, but they have been badly let down: across the UK, one in eight are not in employment, education or training, and it is…”

“It is an honour to follow that eloquent and impassioned maiden speech by our new colleague, the hon. Member for Runcorn and Helsby (Sarah Pochin). I can tell that we will be hearing a lot more from her in this House, and while I am sure that her colleagues are pleased to have their number back up to five, I think we ca…”

“The public have been waiting for 15 years to hear a Government set out a serious strategy to get a grip on the legal migration system so that it works for public confidence, for the economy and for migrants themselves. I welcome the measures that the Home Secretary has announced in relation to the health and social car…”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that we have significant problems in this country as the system to address modern slavery has degraded? Will she join me in pushing for the national referral mechanism to be reviewed, as the Government promised, to tackle exactly what she is talking about?”

“Will the right hon. Member give way?”

“The beautiful beaches of my constituency are marred by sewage-related debris. In Scotland, under the SNP, we do not even properly monitor sewage overflows. Meanwhile, in England, the Labour Government are making great strides to improve water quality—how I wish we had that in Scotland. Will the Secretary of State commi…”

“2. What discussions he has had with the Scottish Government on best practice on monitoring sewage overflows.”

“Thank you very much for coming and for the amazing work that you do. Leyla, I want to focus on your final point, which is how we measure the effectiveness of projects and measure the outcomes of what you do. You know that the Government have the ambition for a violence against women and girls strategy, which is a great…”

“I want to ask a question about when a decision on someone’s case has been made and they have been granted refugee status. Obviously, a lot of these are single men. First of all, the Home Office has extended the move-on period, and I wonder what your views are on that. Secondly, what is the impact on your homelessness p…”

“I want to focus on safeguarding, not just for children but for the whole asylum population. You have talked a lot about the evidence of very poor safeguarding in hotels as well as about some times when it is effective. How do you explain why you sometimes get good safeguarding but you mainly get poor safeguarding in as…”
