Speeches by Mullane.

“Another question from me: how confident are you that the work of the HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and the Child Sexual Exploitation Taskforce will have an impact on identifying child sexual exploitation?”

“No problem. Again, I do not know if you could answer this now, but who should be responsible at a national level for common themes from the local-led inquiries and doing a wider action on them?”

“You have alluded to it in the previous question with the competed fund, but what incentives do you think the Government should put in place for the local authorities to access it to help fund the inquiries?”

“So you would ask for more resources? I know everyone says that, but would that be your ask?”

“Caroline, what are the main challenges when you are investigating and prosecuting a very complex modern slavery case? You mentioned some cases earlier. How effective is law enforcement in supporting you?”

“How are you working with international partners to share best practice with prosecutions?”

“Eleanor, you have said that you are ambitious, which is what is needed. Are you able to implement your strategy with your current staffing and budget levels?”

“The new clause is not in keeping with the provisions outlined in the Bill, which primarily focus on border security through new and strengthened law enforcement powers, providing intelligence to address organised immigration crime. I fundamentally disagree with the context of the new clause. Subsection (2) relates to e…”

“It is an honour to serve on your Committee, Dr Murrison. I do not see how turning border security into public discourse on a case-by-case basis is beneficial to the process, either for those administering or presiding over the hearings, or for those subject to the tribunal process. I accept that there is an argument fo…”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Dame Siobhain. I disagree with the hon. Member for Perth and Kinross-shire. Given what we have seen play out in the last few weeks, I welcome the measures outlined in the new clause, which answers some of the issues highlighted by new clause 44, which was tabled by the …”

“Good morning, Mr Stuart. It was interesting to hear from the hon. Member for Perth and Kinross-shire that he considered the Rwanda scheme a crackpot scheme. Another opinion is that it was “un-Conservative and un-British”—the opinion of John Major, the former Conservative Prime Minister. We have to acknowledge that the …”

“16. What steps she is taking to ensure adequate levels of high needs block funding.”

“Has the Department give due consideration to updating the allocation policy? It is currently based on historical funding, which leaves boroughs such as Barking and Dagenham at a disadvantage for SEN provision compared with inner-London boroughs.”

“It is an honour to serve on your Committee, Mr Stuart. I thank the hon. Members for Perth and Kinross-shire and for Stockton West for their contributions. There are a few points I want to make. Clause 18 already outlines provision within the lines that amendment 17 seeks to remove. Naming the act of supplying an unseaw…”

“Does the Minister agree that we seem to be having repetition in our discussions about the commander and his abilities within his role? The role is respected, and that came up in the evidence we heard. Does she feel that there is repetition of this point, with the Opposition picking up on it at every moment?”

“In his evidence, Enver Solomon spoke about the “meltdown” of the immigration system—that it is chaotic. I think we all heard that. I am on the Home Affairs Committee, and we are also looking into that. Quite a few people from different groups have given evidence, and their evidence was slightly more optimistic than wha…”

“Following on from what the Minister asked you about how we have to be mean or have open borders, I looked at your written evidence, in which you have put as your ninth point, “Make Britain unattractive again”, and then you refer to the Rwanda policy. You say that you do not really know, but we had the National Crime Ag…”

“Minister, I just asked the Assistant Commissioner about police numbers in the main and he said no, he thought everything was all right. When I speak to my local BCU commander, he welcomes all of what we are doing, but he pretty much was saying to me in a meeting about 10 days ago that he is getting new officers, which …”

“Assistant Commissioner Twist, could you briefly summarise last year’s disorder on Whitehall? Could you contrast that with your subsequent policing of the Tommy Robinson supporters’ protest, which had that disorder missing?”

“With the subsequent protest, you give your recount to us on the Tommy Robinson supporters as "peaceful protest". Would you agree with that? Do you think that you were able to contain them?”
