Speeches by Moore.

“The hon. Member is making some important points, but did he note that the Law Commission, in its 2015 report on firearms, did not recommend moving section 2 licences into the section 1 system? He references the points made to do with previous incidents, but the Law Commission was very clear in its 2015 recommendations …”

“Will the Minister give way?”

“Farming cashflows are under pressure, and farming businesses need clarity, certainty and clear policy direction from this Government now more than ever. However, with partial U-turns, continuous consultations, new taskforces, road maps, frameworks, reviews and now—finally—an announcement that the renewed sustainable fa…”

“Well, it’s not been issued to West Yorkshire police and the Bradford safeguarding partnership.”

“Home Secretary, I put it to you that it feels like it is just not working. We as a Committee went over to France. We went to Dunkirk. We went with our French counterparts as a Select Committee as well. It did not seem to me that there was any political will on the French side for this arrangement to work. It was even r…”

“Yes, and therefore still reiterated to us. I just want to understand value for money. Already £476 million has been given to the French over a set period—much more recently with the one in, one out deal. When will we start to really understand value for money for taxpayers here in the UK, with our arrangement with Fran…”

“I want to understand why we are now well over a year since the previous Home Secretary made the initial announcement that we are going to have five local inquiries. The Home Secretary at the time was confident enough to reference Oldham at that point. We are now well over a year on, and Baroness Longfield has been appo…”

“Baroness Casey’s audit was very detailed and thorough, and on page 151 it specifically said that while the national inquiry is being set up “police forces and other relevant agencies should in the meantime be required not to destroy any relevant records” relating to grooming gangs. I have done a freedom of information …”

“Home Secretary, I want to push you on the figures, because the Home Office had savings on asylum accommodation of £0.9 billion in one financial year, 2024-25, but it is anticipated to be £1.1 billion over a three-year period. That seems not ambitious enough, given the savings that have already been made. You say you ar…”

“On the move to larger-scale sites, the Committee went to Wethersfield to have a look around the site and so on. One of the big issues, particularly for me, was the way in which the interview process was taking place offsite and only moved to taking place onsite very slowly. Can we have your reassurance that we are not …”

“This question is more addressed to Chrisann and Anna. Would particular issues arise from applying the proposed changes to children and young people who are already in the UK on routes for settlement? This is to do with transitional protections.”

“Thank you. Anna, what impacts are the longer-term routes having on the number of children and families who become undocumented or lose their immigration status?”

“Chrisann, could you maybe expand on where you feel the impact is likely to be of longer routes on young people’s integration?”

“I want to focus a little bit more on the impact of longer routes. Maybe if I address this to all of you to start with, what do you feel are the most serious potential impacts on children and young people of the Government’s proposals to extend routes to settlement? What impact do you expect the 15-year route to have on…”

“Would you recommend that particular transitional protections are specifically looked at?”

“Anna, do you have anything additional to add over and above that?”

“I have a quick follow-up question for Joanna Hunt. What are the key things that the Government would have to consider in setting guidance for the roll-out of digital right-to-work checks?”

“I am very clear: fox hunting was banned in 2002, and any fox hunting that is seen to be taking place is illegal. The fact that trail hunting has been included in the animal welfare strategy is an indication of the Government’s naivety about what is happening. This is not an animal welfare issue; the Government are remo…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Lewell. It is good to be able to discuss the animal welfare strategy after the Government announced it on 22 December—after Parliament had risen and just before Christmas—in an attempt to avoid scrutiny. I thank the hon. Member for South Derbyshire (Samantha Niblett…”

“Undoubtedly, one of those is social media. We have seen the rise of AI and of algorithms changing, so that content is being fed with the polarisation of views. We all know that. I wonder what your views are on how we address that. Today, the Secretary of State gave a statement in the House on looking at rolling out ano…”
