Speeches by Josan.

“On the “issues of national importance” bit of the resolution, your written evidence suggests removing the non-exhaustive list from the resolution. Why is that?”

“Is there a difference in impact between passing reference to a case, or to the facts, and rehearsing the arguments?”

“In what circumstances could a comment in the House prejudice a trial and lead it to be abandoned? You have already referred to a recent case. In addition to that, is the risk higher in certain types of cases—for example, jury trials compared with trials in front of a single judge? Is there a difference in impact betwee…”

“T3. Cryptocurrencies and digital assets are held by an increasing number of UK citizens—over 8 million people, according to recent figures—and the UK has the potential to be a world leader in this field, supporting our growth mission. Can the Minister detail what steps he has taken to ensure that we rapidly put in plac…”

“The Constitutional Unit’s written evidence alludes to the potential merits of periodic reviews of Select Committee Chair elections. Are there any particular elements of that that you think should be monitored or reviewed each time?”

“If that information was available, how much of that do you think is a reflection of the particular Parliament? With this Parliament, there were a lot of vacancies, a lot of new Members elected for the first time and there was a big change in Government. That obviously would have flavoured what happened. You have alread…”

“I thank the Minister for her responses, and I absolutely agree that it is crucial to get this right, so can she be absolutely clear that the inquiry will not be watered down, particularly in its focus on grooming gangs and ethnicity, including on models of grooming where groomers focused on the ethnicity of victims, wh…”

“T1. If he will make a statement on his departmental responsibilities.”

“We promised 2 million more appointments, and we have delivered 5 million, along with 2,000 extra GPs, 6,500 more mental health workers, 7,000 more doctors, and 13,000 more nurses and midwives. The cancer diagnosis standard has been met, GP satisfaction is up and waiting lists are down. The brand-new Midland Metropolita…”

“How well do you think the current informal arrangement for seeking guidance on when you can expect to speak during a debate works?”

“I thank the Prime Minister for updating the House on the three points. I join him in his condemnation of the antisemitic terrorist attack in Manchester and the arson attack on the Peacehaven mosque, and I welcome his commitment to fight hatred in all its forms and the support provided for security at synagogues and mos…”

“I warmly welcome the Home Secretary and her team to their places. The Home Secretary will be aware of the recent horrific attack and rape of a Sikh woman in Oldbury, in my constituency, who reportedly had racist abuse directed at her. The case is being treated as a hate crime and a suspect is under arrest. What steps i…”

“My hon. Friend talks about health inequalities; we know that people of some ethnicities are more predisposed to diabetes, so as well as sports organisations focusing on improving information and support for people with diabetes, does he agree that they should also support people from different ethnicities to ensure tha…”

“Thank you for calling me, Mr Speaker—[Interruption.]”

“Local growth funding has provided vital investment for many communities across Northern Ireland in recent years. Will the Secretary of State confirm that the new local growth fund will give sectors across Northern Ireland the long-awaited security they need?”

“8. What discussions he has had with the Northern Ireland Executive on the adequacy of the level of funding for Northern Ireland in the spending review 2025.”

“Just to support that, we live in a country that is very diverse—certainly parts of the country are more diverse than others. Relationships that were initially formed on the battlefield actually resonate today within those communities—that is a really important aspect of this debate. We can see today that within the nat…”

“I welcome this statement, particularly as it has become clearer that the Conservatives badly mismanaged not just their policies towards China but our relationship with it over successive years. China offers economic opportunities, but also poses threats, as we have been hearing. We also heard earlier in the statement o…”

“I welcome this statement, particularly the attempt to renew and refresh our key alliances and develop new partnerships in strategic locations across the world. Clearly, the United States remains our most important defence and security ally, but we also have historic relationships with countries such as India, where we …”

“We recently agreed the successful UK-India trade deal, but FCDO co-ordination with India on crisis diplomacy has never been more important, particularly following the recent terrorist attack, the Air India plane crash and human rights concerns, including about the case of Jagtar Singh Johal. Can the Secretary of State …”
