Speeches by Burton-Sampson.

“I will start with you, Jack, and then perhaps you can add to this, Emily. You said you wanted to, “Cause discussion and make change.” What conversations did you want to start as part of the show, and what messages did you want to convey?”

“Darren, I am throwing you in at the deep end, but I am going to start with you, if I may. Just thinking about misogyny in schools, what kind of misogynistic behaviour are you seeing between pupils, and do you think the level of this behaviour is changing, either increasing or decreasing?”

“Do you want to come in very quickly, Dr Guinness?”

“Thank you very much. Just a final question from me. You have obviously heard the evidence from the team from “Adolescence”, and you mentioned it as well, Dr Guinness. Obviously, the Government’s desire is for this show to be shown in all secondary schools. Do you think this is a good idea? Do you think it is a supporti…”

“Interesting, thanks.”

“Jess Phillips, who is in our Home Office team does a lot of work in this area as you probably know; you have both met her. She met the Argentinian Home Secretary yesterday, who mentioned your work and was deeply admiring of your work. She said to mention that to you.”

“As I look around the room, we all have our mobiles glued to our hands. They do everything for us now: payments, emails, leisure and, occasionally, phone calls. These devices are massively important to us. We all know the feeling of leaving home without a mobile device—many of us would have to turn round because we cann…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Lewell. Signal jammers and other electronic devices are a real problem, and one that many of my residents did not realise exist until they were hit. I will never forget knocking on a door one Saturday morning, when the resident opened and said, “Where’s my car gone?” S…”

“I thank the Minister for his answer to the urgent question. Nobody but those in my constituency and that of my hon. Friend the Member for Spen Valley (Kim Leadbeater) know what it is actually like when somebody kills your MP. The reverberations are still being felt in Southend West and Leigh three and a half years late…”

“Football clubs command a special place in the hearts of their community and the hearts of their fans. Their continued success is key to the identity and community spirit of their areas, and local clubs bring a great deal of economic benefit. I know that is the case with my team, Southend United—the Shrimpers—in the hea…”

“I, too, welcome clause 73. Does my hon. Friend agree that more needs to be done to prevent spiking? The Government need to work with other partners, such as the police, venues and transport, as set out in their plans for spiking in November last year. Does my hon. Friend agree that that provides a more holistic approac…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Allin-Khan. Violence against women and girls is not just a societal problem—it is a national emergency. I am proud of the action that this Labour Government are taking in our Crime and Policing Bill to tackle it. Tough new action is needed, and we are bringing it. T…”

“Thank you for sharing that. Professor Khan, if I could come to you, what do you think are the most effective ways to combat Islamophobia?”

“Thank you very much. I am going to come to Professor Cantle now, but feel free to come back on any of those points. I was quite interested to see your report, the Cantle report, in 2001, which found that some communities in the UK led parallel lives. Could you tell us a little more about what that means?”

“If you could keep the second point brief, please, that would be great.”

“Dr Dhaliwal, perhaps you can add your thoughts on that as well? Can you also tell us what the key barriers to community cohesion are, and how we can perhaps overcome them?”

“And why not?”

“Thank you for coming in. Andrew, I am going to start with you, if I may. From your perspective, what does community cohesion mean?”

“That is really helpful. Dr Green, looking at the Muslim Council of Britain, what work do you do, or plan to do, with other groups from other communities to improve cohesion?”

“I will come to you if I may, Akeela. How would you assess the work of Government and local authorities in combating anti-Muslim hatred and promoting community cohesion? What more do you think they need to do?”
