Detention of Vulnerable Persons — [Geraint Davies in the Chair] (14 Mar 2017)

David Burrowes: ...—that the welcome recommendations, the broad thrust of which the Government accepted, could well lead to a reduction in the numbers being detained and for how long.

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill (31 Jan 2017)

David Burrowes: ...Benches, and it speaks volumes. The then Europe Minister, who is now the Leader of the House, is in his place.

Member for Leeds Central (Hilary...

As part of a wider package, that will help to provide the resources to fulfil the duties in the clause.

Employment and Support Allowance and Universal Credit (17 Nov 2016)

David Burrowes: ...of the support fund managed only to assist people with getting job interviews. It must be about much more than that. I want to hear from the Minister that this will be a much more integrated package, which incorporates the vision in the Green Paper. Let us grasp that vision and ensure it becomes a reality. Let us make sure there is local discretion on disability that pulls together...

Immigration Bill: Detention etc. by immigration officers in Scotland ( 9 May 2016)

David Burrowes: ..., what was the Government’s definition of excessive detention. One would certainly say that if detention extends to four months, it is excessive. I concede that this is part of a Government package, which includes the publication, for the first time, of an “adults at risk” policy and the introduction of removal plans. I would welcome the Government’s commitment to timings for...

Immigration Bill: Unaccompanied Refugee Children: Relocation and Support (25 Apr 2016)

David Burrowes: I welcome the diligence and care that the Minister has afforded colleagues from across the House in relation to the package that was announced last week.

Will the Minister provide some details about the timing of that report and whether its remit will include an assessment of the...

backbench business: Unaccompanied Children — [Valerie Vaz in the Chair] (19 Apr 2016)

David Burrowes: ...most appalling backgrounds and are often traumatised, are at risk of exploitation, not least as they make these journeys. As they come into this country, we need to ensure that we have the right package of support for them. A point highlighted in the report that I have mentioned is the transition to adulthood. That is unsettling and unpleasant for all children, but particularly for...

backbench business: Unaccompanied Children — [Valerie Vaz in the Chair] (19 Apr 2016)

David Burrowes: ...resettlement programme. I pay tribute to the Government for the vulnerable persons relocation scheme and the 20,000 commitment. I think that 1,500 people have been resettled. That is part of a package that is not just about numbers. It is a serious package of support involving local authorities and communities. I understand that at the recent meeting in Geneva, attended by my hon. Friend...

backbench business: Unaccompanied Children — [Valerie Vaz in the Chair] (19 Apr 2016)

David Burrowes: There will be significant financial costs, and I hope that we will see the details of the commitment to relocate more unaccompanied children. The financial costs need to be clear. We need a proper package to be able to make that commitment—the vulnerable persons resettlement scheme included a financial commitment to local authorities—because we must take account of the additional costs of...

backbench business: Unaccompanied Children — [Valerie Vaz in the Chair] (19 Apr 2016)

David Burrowes: ...modern slavery, and I share her concern. Following the passage of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we need to make sure that we recognise the inherent risk faced by such children and that there is a package available to do more than the current care system to provide help. We must end the uncertainty on the status of those children and ensure that there is a long-term commitment to their...

Welfare Reform and Work Bill (Programme No. 3): Schedule 2 — Further provision about social housing rents (27 Oct 2015)

David Burrowes: The hon. Gentleman is very kind. Will he speak up, loud and clear? He says that he and his party will oppose the Bill, so what are their alternatives? How would they meet the £12 billion savings package? What parts of it will they accept, and what are their alternatives? We want to know the basis of their opposition.

Welfare Reform and Work Bill (Programme No. 3): New Clause 2 — Assessment of tax credit and benefit reforms on working families (27 Oct 2015)

David Burrowes: ...What we need is specialised tailored employment support. I understand that in Committee the Minister agreed to come back in the autumn with details of what support the Government will give when the package rises from £30 million to £100 million. The sooner we get those details, the better.

Welfare Reform and Work Bill (20 Jul 2015)

David Burrowes: ...to ensure that tailored support can be provided to those hard-to-reach groups that are finding it difficult to get work, whether through the WRAG or in other ways. We need to provide tailored packages of support to ensure that this reforming—and cost-cutting—measure really works for that particular group. I look forward to hearing the Minister and others say that we are very much on...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Autumn Statement ( 3 Dec 2014)

David Burrowes: As we approach small business Saturday, I, on behalf of my high streets, welcome the package of measures to reduce the impact of business rates. What should I tell my businesses about the impact of following the shadow Chancellor’s proposal to increase corporation tax?

Oral Answers to Questions — Culture, Media and Sport: Online Gambling ( 1 May 2014)

David Burrowes: I invite the Minister to take no lessons from the Opposition who are just opportunistic about FOBTs—in 2000 there were none, but in 2010 there was an explosion of 30,000 FOBT machines. The packages yesterday to protect communities are welcome in my constituency, which has seen a saturation-level of FOBTs, particularly in Palmers Green. Will she also consider the introduction of a cumulative...

Public Bill Committee: Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill: Clause 4 - Opt-in: marriage in places of worship ( 5 Mar 2013)

David Burrowes: ...4 requires consent from the relevant governing authority. We have to unpack those definitional terms to see whether the Government have themselves unpacked them. Have they decided that they need to package them back into this relatively ill-defined form and leave it to the religious organisations to deal with the issue themselves? Alternatively, it might be appropriate to get this right...

David Burrowes: ...Member for Sedgefield served on that Committee, which went through the Bill line by line—there was consensus about youth court provisions. Young offenders come before the youth court with a whole package of issues, such as drugs, alcohol, mental health concerns and education. It is right that there are orders before that court to deal with those requirements. I must declare an interest,...

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Crime and Courts Bill [Lords] (14 Jan 2013)

David Burrowes: ...of Red Hook and Harlem, and now there is the example of Liverpool as well. In our whole approach to community justice we must recognise that when someone comes to court they come with a whole package of concerns that may well go across jurisdictions. That arises particularly when dealing with young offenders, given the need for timely and effective intervention. From my experience over the...
