Speeches by Moore.

“Sticking with the reference to temporary status, and this is a question to all of you: what potential unintended consequences may arise from the potential shift to temporary status and reduced family reunion rights?”

“Addressing the pull factors, there is obviously a narrative that has quite rightly been advocated by the Government as something needing to be addressed to try to reduce the journeys that are being taken. How convinced are you—and this is a question to all of you—by the Government’s argument that they need to address t…”

“It is good to see you, panel. I will start by asking an open question to all of you on your biggest concerns about the reforms set out in the asylum and returns policy statement. Are there any elements in the reforms that you welcome?”

“Finally, when we were in northern France just recently, a huge amount of political pressure was being put on their Members of Parliament, and so on. It was very much communicated to us that many representatives were saying, “Why on earth should we stop those going across the channel to the UK? If we let them go across …”

“Ms Benton, you have referred several times to safe third countries, and you also explained that the Netherlands and other European countries are looking at different safe third countries. Should the Rwanda policy not be brought back to the table, with the Government giving that serious thought not only as a deterrent, …”

“The Home Office has outlined a proposal on processing. How practical do you think it is for the Home Office to review asylum claims every 30 months for 20 years?”

“Yes.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Murrison. When I first supported my hon. Friend the Member for South Leicestershire (Alberto Costa) in applying for this debate, there was an ongoing planning application in Silsden in my constituency, to reopen a local quarry at Horn Crag. I am pleased to say that …”

“Will the Minister give way?”

“Will the Minister give way on that point?”

“Great, that is very kind of the Minister. Seven days ago, the Campaign to Protect Rural England commented that the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which is working its way through the House, will have a detrimental impact on environmental regulation and reduce the influence of local people and their ability to have t…”

“I am not quite sure whether the Minister believes what he is reading, because UKHospitality has already done the sums on the impact that this Budget is having on many hard-working hospitality businesses across Keighley and Ilkley. Indeed, it has calculated that over the next three years, hospitality businesses in my co…”

“Picking up on opportunities, you have all mentioned skills integration, employment integration and community integration. Ms Benton, you mentioned opportunities. How do you think policy should change or adapt to identify the challenges you touched on?”

“I pay tribute to five dads from Ilkley—Will, Sam, Martyn, Joe and Dan—who last week walked the entire 82-mile Dales Way, raising over £11,000 for the maternity and neonatal teams at our fantastic Airedale hospital. Between them, they have faced numerous challenges as fathers and are giving back to the hospital through …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Stuart. I thank the hon. Member for Horsham (John Milne) for securing a really important debate on water security and resilience—a topic that has not had as much focus as it deserves for a long time. Water is a vital resource, but one that has over the last half cen…”

“As the hon. Member will know, it is down to the regulator to set how much a water company is able to spend on infrastructure projects. Ofwat has not provided water companies with the flexibility they need to provide the correct level of investment. There is significant frustration about that, and that is coupled with f…”

“Yes—absolutely. My hon. Friend has spoken to me on many occasions about her challenges with South East Water, which is not investing sufficiently in increasing water storage capacity. I know there is a meeting tonight to address some of those challenges, but South East Water seems to be consistently chasing its tail an…”

“Landscape recovery schemes are a great way of dealing not only with water quality schemes, but with water resilience strategies. Will the Minister commit to working with her colleagues to look at removing the one-year break clause that now exists within landscape recovery schemes, because it makes it very difficult for…”

“I have an urgent plea for the Home Secretary and the new chair, Baroness Longfield, who I know will be watching. They will both know that, shockingly, Keighley and the wider Bradford district have never had a full independent inquiry despite Ann Cryer raising the alarm more than 20 years ago. I, leading child abuse sol…”

“There we have it. This is how the Government of the day is going to be engaging with people—stating from the Dispatch Box that they are willing to listen, yet not taking one intervention. May I remind the Minister that Members of Parliament in this House have been elected to represent their constituents? Three million …”
