Recent appearances

• Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Leaving the EU: Human Rights 25 Apr 2017

  Why are the Government continuing to confuse and, indeed, deceive people by suggesting that the European convention on human rights is anything to do with the EU? It was signed up to by nations that had just come together after the most disastrous war in our history, and it was supported by Winston Churchill. Why can the Minister not support it?

• Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Topical Questions 25 Apr 2017

  Knowing the huge cross-party support for better justice for victims of criminal driving, will the Minister today commit to bring in the legislation that has been promised before the end of this year if the Government are re-elected?

• Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government: Pubs 24 Apr 2017

  The Minister has failed to mention what my office has been told by the Department, which is that the Neighbourhood Planning Bill is set to fall, so the change to pub protection it contains would not be made. Will he assure the House that that is not the case? That wonderful decision was supported on both sides of the House, and we need to make sure that the change goes through.
