Speeches by Moore.

“Was there any line of communication directly with the West Midlands police and crime commissioner on this?”

“Just to follow up, Mr Foster, are you including the Prime Minister in that? The Prime Minister said that the decision to ban Israeli supporters was wrong, and he suggested that it was caused by antisemitism on our streets.”

“Given the political sensitivity around this issue—hence why we are all here today—the role of the police and crime commissioner is to hold the chief constable to account and make sure that they are acting in the best interests of the public. Do you have full faith in the chief constable and the decisions that have been…”

“But I am asking for your view.”

“I am keen to understand the flow of information with the Home Office. Chief Constable, what information was given by you and your officers or staff to officials and Ministers at the Home Office, DCMS and No. 10, and when was it delivered?”

“Do you know when?”

“That would be kind. Did your officers send notice of the decision to recommend the ban of the supporters to the Home Office before it went to the safety advisory group?”

“At what point were any concerns raised by the Home Office? Were any concerns raised by the Home Office when there was an understanding that the ban would follow through?”

“It all seems a bit of a mess. We have a scenario where a decision is being made by West Midlands police; the Home Office is notified about the decision, or the direction of the decision, yet it has a feeling that it cannot step in; but ultimately the Prime Minister comes out to say that that the decision to ban Israeli…”

“Did you seek intelligence from Europol?”

“It would be helpful for the Committee to understand if that went to the Home Office before or after. Did you receive a response from the Home Office to ratify or give any view about the decision to recommend the ban?”

“So you did seek intelligence from them.”

“This Budget was dead on arrival. We were promised that the last autumn Budget was a once-in-a-generation event, but I suggest that the Chancellor may want to correct her record on that claim. Despite setting out to find growth, she has flatlined the economy and tanked employment. Indeed, we now know that Labour will ra…”

“I absolutely agree. The fact that the Met police cancelled today’s pre-organised Budget day protest and rally at the last minute is an absolute disgrace. I was proud to be out on Whitehall today with many of our farming community and my Conservative colleagues. We share their anxiety and concern that the changes to inh…”

“Just following on the same theme, you have been kind enough to touch on the challenges of those associated when you are making assessments of no clear ideology. Can you expand a little bit on those specific challenges when the assessments have been made by Channel Panels?”

“Maybe Councillor Conway, this is one for you to start with, but from a local authority perspective how do you make sure that the Channel Panels are truly accountable, representative and reflect the communities that they are there to serve?”

“Do you have anything else to add on that, Professor Denham, just to do with the accountability and making sure that the Panels are truly representative?”

“Can you expand on the relationship between local authorities and the Home Office when trying to ensure that we are delivering a Prevent programme where the allocation of assessment is done as appropriately as possible? Is that relationship and interaction between local authorities and the Home Office as good as it can …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Murrison. I thank my right hon. Friend the Member for Aldridge-Brownhills (Wendy Morton) for securing this important debate. We have had valuable contributions from Members across the House. I thank everyone for contributing to this debate on land use and food secur…”

“Our position on the family farm tax is absolutely clear: the 100% relief on APR and business property relief needs to remain in place. That is why, as the Conservative party, we are absolutely clear that the family farm tax needs to be axed. When we come to the vote on the Finance Bill, I hope that the hon Member will …”
