I note that Dr Shahid Wahid, the executive medical director of the trust, was recently…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsI thank my hon. Friend. Last year, in spite of the difficulties we faced, we delivered the highest number of new homes for over 30 years, but his point is an extremely good one.…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsI am indebted to everybody who serves the Government in whatever capacity. We have a lot of very tough decisions to make but we will continue to get on with delivering the…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsI thank my right hon. Friend for her question. Of course, the families of the 96 who died in the Hillsborough disaster and those who were injured have shown tremendous courage and…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsI thank the hon. Gentleman for raising that case. I am afraid I had no advance notice of the question and cannot comment on the case, save to say that if he will send me details,…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsI echo my hon. Friend’s sentiments about Southend, but also what he says about those who have been affected by forced adoption. The practices that led to forced adoption cannot…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsI can tell the hon. Gentleman that, again, I am afraid what he is saying is completely wrong. The sums that we are already investing in education are huge and we have announced a…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsI thank my hon. Friend for raising the important work of the Sikh Helpline UK. I am very happy to join her in wishing Giani Singh and the team the very best of luck for their…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsNo. I suggest to the hon.

Friend for raising this point. Traffic enforcement outside London can only be undertaken by the police, but I will certainly look at the role of the traffic…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsActually, this Government have been absolutely clear that it is unacceptable to use the threat of firing and rehiring as a negotiating tactic. We welcome the ACAS report, which…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsI thank my right hon. Friend and I agree with him completely, because I think that David Frost—Lord Frost—is doing an outstanding job. I venture to say that he is the greatest…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsI thank the hon. Gentleman for raising the concern that he has and the injustice that he mentions. I will make sure that he gets a meeting as soon as possible with the relevant…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsThe Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, my hon. Friend will be pleased to know, introduces a new criminal offence where a person who resides or intends to reside on land in…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsWhat we are seeing across the country is people responding to massive investment— a £640 billion programme of investment in roads, in schools, in hospitals, in policing—that, bit…09 Jun 2021HANSARDEngagementsI may say that I think that the last contribution was absolutely disgraceful.
