Speeches by Kohler.

“I would like to explore a more general question about how much the summer riots were a manifestation of a breakdown of trust between the police and the public, or certain sections of the public. Emily, you have spoken and written about a crisis of trust in institutions in this context. Do you want to amplify on that a …”

“Is it being updated or do you not know?”

“Picking up on something you just said then, does the media protocol need updating?”

“Going back to the neighbourhood policing, how do you square the circle of having abstractions and needing abstractions, but maintaining neighbourhood policing?”

“When I asked them about restoring trust in the police, there was a certain degree of, “Well, it’s beyond us,” and almost, “It’s a failure of institutions,” but there are issues for the police particularly in trust as well. How are the Government helping the police to rebuild trust and confidence in them?”

“What are you going to do?”

“Thank you for coming. Dame Diana, I want to pick up something, building on what Shaun was saying then. What I wanted to say to Chief Constable Harrington, but I did not have the time, was he was being too modest because he succeeded, despite the system failing him. He did not have enough power at the top to call for re…”

“That underlines the importance of community policing, does it not?”

“Do any of your colleagues want to comment on that?”

“The data backs you up, particularly deprived communities having less trust in the police. Is that just a factor of deprivation or is there more to that? Is it the way police deal with those from deprived communities?”

“I would like to explore a more general question about how much the summer riots were a manifestation of a breakdown of trust between the police and the public, or certain sections of the public.

“Picking up on something you just said then, does the media protocol need updating?”

“In her previous role as deputy London Mayor for transport, the Secretary of State stated she was “clear” in her opposition to a third runway at Heathrow. Is she still clear in her opposition, and if not, what has changed her mind?”

“Too many of Britain’s roads are in a shocking state of disrepair, as the Secretary of State says. In my constituency, Labour-run Merton council has the worst roads in London and the second worst in the country. Some 40% of our local roads are rated as poor by her Department. Although I welcome the coming year’s increas…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mrs Lewell-Buck. I thank the hon. Member for Brigg and Immingham (Martin Vickers) for securing this debate and the Backbench Business Committee for granting it. We have heard lively contributions from across the House, and underlying all of them is a simple truth: in the …”

“When it comes to the police, politicians are all too eager to demand more and more while giving less and less. Years of failure and ineffective resourcing from the previous Conservative Government have left police forces across the country overstretched, understaffed and unable to focus on the crimes that impact our co…”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairship, Ms Furniss. I rise to speak in support of these regulations, but I ask the Government to err on the side of caution when implementing them. The Liberal Democrats are, of course, fully supportive of the Ministry of Defence’s vital work, and we wholeheartedly support our arm…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Vaz. May I draw Members’ attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests? I own a bar called Cellar Door—though not the same cellar door as the ones the hon. Member for North West Norfolk just referred to. I want to speak about wine and the hospit…”

“Raynes Park has an important high street in my constituency. There are no banks in Raynes Park, so our solitary post office is a vital lifeline, allowing residents and businesses alike to access banking, bill payments and traditional postal services. However, it is one of 115 Crown branches at risk, and my constituents…”
