Defence in the United Kingdom (17 Nov 2005)

Jeremy Corbyn: ...when I tried to intervene about human resources. I wanted to make the point that when there are media stories and court cases concerning appalling harassment of certain individuals—women and gay and lesbian officers—in the armed forces, there has at the very least to be the most rigorous examination of the facts, but there also has to be action to ensure that the culture does...

Orders of the Day — Local Government Bill: Prohibition on Promotion of Homosexuality: Bullying (25 Jul 2000)

Mr Jeremy Corbyn: ..., the prejudice displayed by the Government of the day, and the effect outside Parliament. Homophobic bullying was given easy passage, which resulted in the isolation and punishment of many young gay and lesbian people, who were left in terror. Ask anyone who works with organisations such as Childline about that period and what has happened since then, and they will say the same. There is...

Prayers: Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (2 Apr 1993)

Mr Jeremy Corbyn: ...to produce. However, as we saw with the Iraqi use of Scud missiles during the Iran-Iraq war, it is possible to use fairly conventional rocketry to deliver nuclear weapons. Indeed, the Enola Gay, which dropped the initial bomb on Japan, was an ordinary, conventional bomber aircraft. We must start from the point of view that it is too easy to make nuclear weapons. However, it is also...

Orders of the Day — Caravan Sites (Amendment) Bill (5 Feb 1993)

Mr Jeremy Corbyn: ...life style. The history of this century in Europe is one of appalling prejudice against people with a different life style. Whom did the Nazis go after first in 1933? It was not the Jews but the gay, or homosexual, community and the gipsies, followed by the Jewish community, trade unionists and many others. The Nazis rounded up the gipsies first and put them in concentration camps to die....

Prayers: Policing (London) (18 Oct 1991)

Mr Jeremy Corbyn: ...men over the age of 16 resulted in 3,500 prosecutions, 2,700 convictions, 380 cautions and 40 to 50 prison sentences. Among those victimised were 31 men aged 21 or over who were gaoled for consensual gay sex with other men aged 16 to 21. That is frankly quite absurd and ridiculous. The people who are prosecuted for alleged gay offences are more likely to get longer sentences and more...

Policing in London (13 Jul 1990)

Mr Jeremy Corbyn: .... Far too many women feel unable to go to the police to report sexual attacks, of whatever kind. That is serious because women must have confidence in the police. In the past few years 20 gay men have been murdered in London. There has been a great increase in the number of cases of men accused of buggery. This is part of an attack on the gay and lesbian community in London. I hope that...

Orders of the Day — Local Government Bill: Prohibition on Promoting Homosexuality by Teaching or by Publishing Material (15 Dec 1987)

Mr Jeremy Corbyn: ...wishes to make a contribution should do so. We should also seek to put forward some of the views that have been made known to us in the past few days. My constituency has a number of lesbian and gay organisations and the local authority is prepared to put forward policies opposing any form of discrimination on the ground of sexuality. For the past five years, it has been hounded by the...

Inner City Areas (6 Mar 1987)

Mr Jeremy Corbyn: Does the hon. Gentleman recall that during the long discussions and acrimony about the projection of the images of gays and lesbian people in Ealing, a statement was eventually agreed with all parties and church support on the suitable methods of teaching positive images and positive respect for people within schools in the borough of Ealing? Would not the hon. Gentleman be more fair if he...

Local Government (5 Dec 1986)

Mr Jeremy Corbyn: ...the next general election. That is all that he tried to do. The hon. Member has never attempted to understand what Haringey council is trying to do in respect of its policy of positive images of gay and lesbian people or its attempt to put itself within the law by the provision of sites for travellers under the Caravan Sites Act 1968. When I was the chairman of the planning committee in...

Business of the House (2 May 1985)

Mr Jeremy Corbyn: ...of America and Britain; believes that such programmes can only serve to make Nazism respectable; and further believes that the memory of the Jewish people, gypsies, Communists, trade unionists and gay people who were murdered by the Nazis and the millions of Soviet, British, American and other peoples on every continent who died to defeat fascism should not be defiled by any attempted...
