Speeches by Moore.

“Are the Government giving you any additional funds to help with the additional financial costs that the Government have imposed on your service provision?”

“As a result of employers’ national insurance increasing, other overheads, maybe minimum wage, may impact the level of service provision, perhaps business rates increase if you are operating from physical premises. Is that likely to result in a decrease in the service provision that you are able to offer?”

“Thank you. Another issue that was brought up earlier and is a key theme is the challenges with how funding is drawn down and the lack of co-ordination and so on. Could all of you comment, if it is an issue at all, on the challenges of the increase in employers’ national insurance? I know the challenge it is having from…”

“Are there any prevention mechanisms particularly focusing on rural areas?”

“Victory in Europe Day is a time not only to celebrate, but to reflect and remember. I am privileged to represent a community that does all three. Recently, I met two veterans of the war, both 100 years young. It was an honour to spend time with them, listening to their stories. In April 1945, Mr Philip Jackson from Kei…”

“I want to drill down a little bit more on the detail of how some of the accommodation providers are delivering on the requirements within their contracts, or how they may have indicated they should be delivering on them. I will ask this question of you all. In written evidence that we have received, accommodation provi…”

“Do you know what the expectation is on an accommodation provider to provide? The reference to us, as a Committee, is that some have been going above and beyond, but above and beyond what?”

“That is kind; thank you.”

“All three of you have highlighted the variances that exist, whether it be geographically or between different accommodation providers. There seems to almost be a bit of a discrepancy, certainly from the evidence that has come to the Committee and our own experiences through visits—a variation on the expectations from a…”

“In February, a brave group of victims and a leading child abuse lawyer wrote to the Home Secretary warning her that the rape gangs scandal across the Bradford district is likely to be one of the most significant of its kind in the UK, and that leaders in Bradford are deliberately seeking to avoid the commissioning of a…”

“After the conviction of eight men for a string of horrendous child rape offences in Keighley, I wish I could stand here and say that justice has been fully served, but I cannot, because two of these men—dual nationals—absconded during their trial, are still evading justice and are known to be abroad. Does the Secretary…”

“T3. In a single week in Bradford, we have seen council leaders once again reject my calls for a full rape gangs inquiry. An ex-police officer has been threatened with arrest for investigating these horrific crimes, and now a judge is blocking the release of official transcripts from a major rape gang trial in Bradford.…”

“16. If she will have discussions with the HM Prison and Probation Service on the potential merits of reviewing its guidelines on bail.”

“Dare I say it, but the mismanagement under the Labour administration in Birmingham is the absolute result of what residents are now being faced with—an increase in council tax across Birmingham and a significantly negative impact on the current level of service, with their rubbish not being collected. I fear that the w…”

“Absolutely. That is why it is so important that all Members across the House support grassroots sporting organisations and the sporting facilities at their heart. They drive confidence in our young people, whatever sport it may be. I also put on record my thanks to the Ilkley business awards committee, which, every yea…”

“It is great to speak in this Easter debate, and I would like to use this opportunity to thank a handful of fantastic organisations from across the constituency. It is really difficult to pick out a few from across Keighley, Ilkley, Silsden and the Worth Valley, an area that I am incredibly proud to represent. I start w…”

“I have to say that I am completely infuriated by today’s statement. Here we are, on the very last sitting day before the Easter recess, and the Government have all but admitted that no real progress whatsoever has been made on their promise to launch five local rape gang inquiries before Easter. It gets worse: for more…”

“How bad does it need to get for the residents of Birmingham before the Government step in and take stronger action?”

“My right hon. Friend is absolutely right. If you are a resident in Birmingham paying your council tax, you want action. You do not want talks after talks, discussions after discussions. Residents have been impacted for too long—a month in certain circumstances. I was in Birmingham two weekends ago, and the level of rub…”

“It absolutely is action that needs to be condemned. Why? Because those who are being impacted are the hard-working residents of Birmingham. They are dutifully paying their council tax—despite its having increased as a result of Labour’s mismanagement of the council—yet they are expected to be taking their waste to an a…”
