It is what all the homelessness charities are urging on us. I just hope that he can have some…07 Feb 2019HANSARDLegal Aid: Post-Implementation ReviewMay I ask the Lord Chancellor two things? First, will he use his considerable influence to get us a whole-day debate on these reviews? The Act took about a year to get through. We…07 Feb 2019HANSARDRough SleepingI do not disagree with the point the hon. Gentleman is making. Would he like to comment on the opinion of the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government that…07 Feb 2019HANSARDRough SleepingIt is a pleasure to see you in the Chair, Ms Buck. I know you would be speaking on the issue if you were not chairing, and I congratulate you again on the Homes (Fitness for Human…07 Feb 2019HANSARDRough SleepingMy hon. Friend, who opened the debate brilliantly, is summing it up brilliantly. I am afraid that I heard the Minister read out a prepared speech that just seemed to say that…07 Feb 2019HANSARD Windrush SchemeBefore the Windrush scandal became the Windrush scandal, many cases took years to resolve and victims disappeared because they feared deportation. To avoid future injustice, will…05 Feb 2019HANSARDTopical QuestionsWe had two debates in the Chamber last week on dangerous cladding, which shows the incompleteness of the Government’s response. Can we have a comprehensive strategy from the…28 Jan 2019HANSARDKnife CrimeIt is a pleasure and a privilege to speak under your chairmanship, Ms Buck—particularly about a subject on which you have done so much good work. I thank my hon. Friend the Member…24 Jan 2019HANSARDKnife CrimeI do not disagree—some pretty horrific things are available, and they tend to make the headlines—but the most common weapons are kitchen knives, because they are so readily…24 Jan 2019HANSARD Fire Safety and CladdingWith respect to the Minister, he may be listening to what he wants to hear. He should listen to a wider range of voices. I will give an example. In yesterday’s urgent question,…23 Jan 2019HANSARD Fire Safety and CladdingI will not be tempted into a wider debate, except to say to the Minister that it depends very much on the circumstances. Sometimes it is a matter of choice, and many high-rise…23 Jan 2019HANSARDCourts IT SystemMy constituents have contributed £43 million to the stalled digitisation process, thanks to the closure and sale of Hammersmith magistrates and county courts. Their reward is to…23 Jan 2019HANSARD Fire Safety and CladdingMy hon. Friend is making a strong point that—I am sure he will come on to this—applies as much to residential fires as to the case he is talking about. First, there is the issue…23 Jan 2019HANSARD Fire Safety and CladdingI mentioned Lakanal House, where six people died 10 years ago, yesterday. There was combustible material involved, but it was not ACM cladding. Is it not extraordinary that the…23 Jan 2019HANSARD Fire Safety and CladdingI am grateful for the time that has become available to make some brief remarks, although my hon. Friend the Member for Croydon North (Mr Reed) set the case out fully and…23 Jan 2019HANSARD Fire Safety and CladdingI find the Minister’s attitude astonishingly complacent.

Friend has made a telling point. We will not find things that are wrong unless we go and look for them, and I do not feel that the Government are going to go and look for…23 Jan 2019HANSARD Fire Safety and CladdingI think that the Minister was trying to intervene on an intervention. I am glad to see that he at least has some interest in the subject. I shall make a little progress, and then…23 Jan 2019HANSARD Fire Safety and CladdingI am grateful for that “intervention”.
