Speeches by Slade.

“Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir said in the last few days on social media: “Electricity must be cut off to Lebanon, the Zahrani River must be seized, and intensive fighting must be resumed”. Last week, he said of Dahieh, “flatten, flatten, and flatten again”, and that the suburbs must be targeted. The indiscriminate targetin…”

“4. What assessment he has made of the adequacy of the progress of transitioning from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources.”

“Last month, alongside other Dorset MPs, I met with the Crown Estate to discuss the Dorset Clean Energy Super Cluster. While I welcome its recognition of the area as a medium-term opportunity, it is concerning that development is likely at least a decade away, despite Dorset’s significant potential for a range of green …”

“The only country in the whole of Europe that has a NEETs crisis worse than the UK’s is Romania. That is quite shocking. For me, the issue is funding for further education. Mike Taylor owns Bond’s Barbershops and runs an award-winning academy, and he has far more students than he can give places to. Other local provider…”

“The Secretary of State has not talked about the role of the governors of hospital trusts, which also appear to be abolished by the Bill. With the creation of mega-ICBs, the removal of healthwatch, and the removal of governors, I am worried that the voice of the local community is reducing rather than increasing.”

“Focusing on a place of safety for women?”

“What other operational barriers are there to having residential centres as an alternative option to custody, apart from money?”

“I rise to present a petition about antisocial behaviour on behalf of the residents of Holton Heath Park in my constituency. The petitioners and I ask the Government to note that those residents have been experiencing an unacceptable level from antisocial driving, joyriding, racing, and excessive speeds from cars and mo…”

“Focusing on a place of safety for women?”

“I have an additional question. Some of us visited a women’s prison a few months ago. We visited the mother and baby unit there. Some of the women we met may be in custody for longer than they are allowed to keep their babies. Is there a possibility, for women with those longer sentences, who need to be in the system in…”

“So men, women and young people.”

“Hello. I am Vikki Slade, the MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole. My interests are as per the register, none relevant to this Committee.”

“You told us that you had 29,000 people who you currently tag. You also told us earlier that you are not responsible for the asylum system and that side of it, but does the tagging include people in the immigration system, and is there anyone in the criminal justice system who you are not responsible for tagging, but wh…”

“An often under-appreciated element of the criminal justice system is the impact that it has on fathers’ ability to stay part of their family. My hon. Friend the Member for Henley and Thame (Freddie van Mierlo) shared research conducted by the University of Plymouth about fathers separated from their children, and the i…”

“If you take that particular cohort of women, you would say that this is a viable alternative. Do you think there is enough capacity in terms of access to the appropriate professionals and partners to have at least one in every probation region of the country?”

“I would love to come and visit. Dorset is in the south-west, even though we are much closer to Southampton than anywhere else. I would love to come and have a look to see what you do, because I am not far away. I can see the benefits to the women of being in a residential women’s centre versus custody, in terms of the …”
