Recent appearances

• Women and Equalities: Universal Credit Roll-out 13 Sep 2018

  The Work and Pensions Committee, on which I sit, recently published a report calling on the Government to see whether universal credit can offer more help to victims of domestic abuse. Will the Minister consider our findings?

• Salisbury Incident 12 Sep 2018

  I thank the Minister very much for the speech he is giving. I am sure that the House will be aware of the remarks made by President Putin today in saying that these are not criminals but citizens. Does he agree that if the President is so assured of that statement, he might want to encourage those individuals to come to the UK for trial?

• Oral Answers to Questions — Cabinet Office: Intimidation of People in Public Life 12 Sep 2018

  What assessment he has made of trends in the level of intimidation experienced by people in public life.
