Crime and Policing Bill
2026-04-14 · 12:30Fly-tipping is very important, but can I refer my hon. Friend to a matter of life and death? As a result of Lords amendment 361 and the amendments to it, somebody who illegally pr…
Middle East
2026-04-13 · 17:03The Prime Minister may recall that on day one of this war, I supported his defensive attitude to it and said that we could not change the regime from the air. We agreed and he has…
Freedom of Religion or Belief in China
2026-03-18 · 14:55The devil is in the detail. When it comes to China, everything is very complicated; there are no simple arguments or solutions. This is not an outright communist regime like North…
Freedom of Religion or Belief in China
2026-03-18 · 14:55I agree entirely with my right hon. Friend. As I develop my speech, I will say that the Church and our leadership were perhaps naive in trusting the communist regime. The agreemen…
Freedom of Religion or Belief in China
2026-03-18 · 14:52I congratulate the hon. Member for St Helens South and Whiston (Ms Rimmer) on her speech. Although I will talk primarily about the persecution of Christians in China, and particul…
Protest Policing
2026-03-11 · 14:00I agree with everything the Home Secretary has said, especially as she is one of the best Conservative Home Secretaries we have ever had! Will she forgive me for asking her to str…

2026-03-10 · 18:49Will the Minister give way?
Courts and Tribunals Bill
2026-03-10 · 15:27I am not suggesting that jury trials have been abolished. If the hon. Member listens to my speech, she will hear me talk later about jury trials for people who are accused of, for…
Courts and Tribunals Bill
2026-03-10 · 11:30Of course that is an important point—we are not debating that. Of course the backlog is wrong, but this is not the right way to correct it. The backlog is caused by administrative…
Courts and Tribunals Bill
2026-03-10 · 11:30I may give way in a moment. Others, not necessarily in our country, have commented on this. Alexis de Tocqueville observed in the 19th century that the jury “places the real direc…
Courts and Tribunals Bill
2026-03-10 · 11:30Quite unusually, I have served as a practising barrister in courts and have also served on juries. I never fail to be impressed by the extraordinary care that juries take in decid…
Immigration Policy
2026-03-09 · 15:50May I quote approvingly the remarks of my constituency neighbour and Labour MP, the hon. Member for Bassetlaw (Jo White)? She said that if Labour is to win its battle against Refo…
