Speeches by Moore.

“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?”

“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 …”

“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?”

“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?”

“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 …”

“I do hope that the Chancellor is listening to this debate and also that she engages with the farming community. It is incredibly disappointing that the Chancellor has not once met with the NFU, the Country Land and Business Association, the Tenant Farmers Association or the Central Association for Agricultural Valuers …”

“Cash flow challenges are hitting many of our farming businesses right now. Baroness Batters, of the other place, has produced a profitability review, which seems to be hidden in the depths of the Department at the moment. Will the Minister guarantee that the profitability review will be published this week, before the …”

“But will it be published?”

“Before the Budget?”

“T7. The Minister will know that our peatlands are a vital store of carbon, storing 26 times more carbon than UK forests. Would he therefore agree that green energy projects built on peatland must prove that they will mitigate more carbon than they will release through construction and disturbance of the underlying peat…”

“Earlier this week, there was a large accidental industrial fire on Pitt Street, in Keighley in my constituency. Nine fire crews attended, some coming from as far away as Mirfield in West Yorkshire. Unfortunately, one person was taken to hospital, and there was a huge amount of damage done to local buildings. My thought…”

“The Secretary of State will know that farmers play a key role in enhancing nature and access to it, but that farmers can do so only when it is financially viable and their businesses have certainty from the Government. Yet with the sustainable farming incentive chopped, de-linked payments slashed, capital grants cut, t…”

“Two very quick questions. Do you feel the level of enforcement that is being carried out under the current system is sufficient without digital ID?”

“Has that definition been signed off by a Minister?”

“Same question then.”

“Again, to follow on, accountability comes with having specific targets associated with performance, and we know that the Home Office’s annual report and accounts sets out actions to deliver priority outcomes, but there are no specific performance targets. To what extent do you see having clear targets as being importan…”

“I will re-phrase the question then. Has this been designed by the civil service going up to a Minister regardless of where they sit in Government, or has this been a direction that has come from the top asking the civil service to look at how this policy could be implemented?”

“You have mentioned knife crime and violence against women and girls—but correct me if I am wrong—there are no granular targets that have been distributed to the public domain so we can properly understand how we are achieving the direction that has been set by the Prime Minister of halving that.”

“In terms of absolutely being able to hold the Home Office to account in terms of its performance in achieving those objectives.”
