7 Sept 2025 Palestine Action: Proscription and Protests

As I understand, convictions simply for displaying the name of a proscribed group have been extremely rare unless there has been clear evidence of intent to promote a group’s more extreme actions. If that is the case, and as it is clear that the acts of protest and civil disobedience seen in recent days are not acts th

3 Sept 2025Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1036)

That is a specific case where you are laying a charge at the Prime Minister and his own actions about what is misleading. Paragraph 9.2 of the ministerial code suggests that the Prime Minister will be consulted on paragraph 9.1. Do you believe the capacity is there for the Prime Minister to be in a position to judge wh

3 Sept 2025Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1036)

So you do not foresee a role for the independent adviser where they advise or adjudicate on breaches; rather, they would just be a conduit to put the suggestion, “Was this a breach, Mr Prime Minister?”

Would you foresee some kind of formal response to that request?

3 Sept 2025Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1036)

Back on to the ministerial code, you mentioned the role of officials. The current independent adviser has told us that he does not see it as his role to advise on breaches of the ministerial code, such as breaches of 9.1. Do you think that the independent adviser should have a different view on that?

55
3 Sept 2025Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1036)

When we were discussing the independent adviser before, you used the word “inundated”, I think—correct me if I am wrong. If we are putting those challenges to the Prime Minister, I am trying to work out how that would not equally end up with them being inundated. Am I missing some practical application in what you are

3 Sept 2025Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1036)

I want to look at this from the ministerial code perspective. I appreciate that you suggested that there might be sanctions options that could fall outside of the ministerial code. What do you believe could potentially be sanction options from the ministerial code that the Prime Minister could consider?

3 Sept 2025Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1036)

Do you not believe that there any options that the Prime Minister could have?

21 Jul 2025Sir David Amess Summer Adjournment

It is a pleasure to speak in this debate, which comes at a good time to take stock of my first year serving my constituents in this place. I am extremely grateful to the old hands for their sage advice; however, there is one piece of advice I was given that I am happy to call out as the worst I have ever taken. “Don’t

20 Jul 2025 Middle East

As I understand it, Hamas want Egypt, Qatar and the United States empowered as legal guarantors not only for a 60-day truce, but up to the signatory date of any final agreement with Israel. Can America not be prevailed upon to act as a guarantor beyond the final settlement? Hamas could be forced to reconsider their obj

20 Jul 2025Asylum Hotels: Migrant Criminal Activity

The press regularly runs stories where economic migrants are quoted describing what they believe are the benefits available to them in the UK and the work opportunities that our relatively under-regulated labour markets offer. Does the Minister agree it is time that we considered Labour’s ID cards plan, scrapped by the

16 Jul 2025Freedom of Religion or Belief: UK Foreign Policy

I do agree, and that is a difficult one for me as a Labour Member. All I can say is that I will hold my Government’s feet to the fire on ensuring that we return to levels of overseas development assistance, which I recognise is an important contribution that we make internationally. More than 80% of the world’s populat

16 Jul 2025Freedom of Religion or Belief: UK Foreign Policy

I thank my hon. Friend the Member for North Northumberland (David Smith) for securing this debate and for his work on this important issue. I would like to share two personal reflections that shape the way I view religious freedom and its place in our foreign policy. The first reflection is on my lifelong faith. Betwee

Early-day motion 1496 sets out how Samiul Ahmed bought Cockermouth’s Old Courthouse for a knock-down price and, ignoring professional advice, allowed the listed building to collapse into the River Cocker. [That this House notes in July 2022 Samiul Ahmed of Tower Hamlets purchased The Grade II listed Old Courthouse, Coc

7 Jul 2025Road and Rail Projects

Like many Cumbrians, I am delighted and relieved that the Government have agreed funding for the A66 trans-Pennine project. It never should have been in doubt, and it is clear to me that it would not have been were it not for the financial legacy of the previous Government. Ministers can now look forward to me lobbying

The strategic defence review rightly emphasises the importance of autonomous weapons systems in augmenting the UK’s defence capabilities, but it also notes: “The UK’s competitors are unlikely to adhere to common ethical standards in developing and using” those technologies. What specific measures are the Government tak

I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Dudley (Sonia Kumar) for bringing this issue to the House for debate. Unlike her, I am not an experienced health professional, so I will narrow my contribution to the issue of public toilets, their availability and their importance to those with incontinence.
