Opposition Day — [4th Allotted Day]: Crime and Policing ( 8 Sep 2010)

Anna Soubry: Will the right hon. Gentleman give way?

Opposition Day — [4th Allotted Day]: Crime and Policing ( 8 Sep 2010)

Anna Soubry: The right hon. Lady will know that I said that I want fewer CCTV cameras. That should be the aim of everybody in this Chamber, because people should be able to walk the streets free from the fear of crime and from actual crime. That should be our ultimate aim. She makes a big mistake if she thinks that CCTV is some great panacea. In my experience as a criminal barrister, in many cases...

Opposition Day — [4th Allotted Day]: Crime and Policing ( 8 Sep 2010)

Anna Soubry: It is a pleasure to follow the right hon. Member for Don Valley (Caroline Flint) and if I may return a compliment that she was good enough to pay to me before the recess, I hope that it is not too long before she makes the journey down from where she sits today on to the Front Bench. It would be stupid for me to stand here as a criminal barrister of 16 years standing and say that nothing was...

Opposition Day — [4th Allotted Day]: Crime and Policing ( 8 Sep 2010)

Anna Soubry: I agree with the right hon. Gentleman and, in due course, I will touch on my hopes for a much improved police force. As a criminal barrister, I could speak forever about this subject, but the clock is against me. I am pleased that one of the first things that the coalition did, to enable our police officers to get on and do the job that they want to do, was to allow our custody sergeants to...

Opposition Day — [4th Allotted Day]: Crime and Policing ( 8 Sep 2010)

Anna Soubry: Absolutely. That concerns me. I had a case in my constituency involving somebody whom I thought had been wrongly removed from the police force. He quite rightly said to me, indeed, I knew from my own experience, that many officers had done far worse than him- in my opinion and, more importantly, the opinion of others-but had retained their jobs. I am concerned about the training of police...

[Mr Peter Bone in the Chair] — Criminal Bar (Public Funding) (15 Sep 2010)

Anna Soubry: Is my hon. Friend aware that across England and Wales the number of solicitors' firms is diminishing fast? In Stapleford, a town in my constituency, there is now no solicitor available to provide advice for people with real need in family circumstances. They must travel many miles into Nottingham for that advice, and they are often vulnerable, quite literally, faced with a violent partner.

Written Answers — Justice: Crown Court Sentencing Survey (19 Oct 2010)

Anna Soubry: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of Crown Court sentencing survey forms in assisting judges in their sentencing duties.

Oral Answers to Questions — Electoral Commission Committee: Transport (Investment) (26 Oct 2010)

Anna Soubry: Whilst I welcome, after years of dithering by the last Administration, a decision on the extension of the tram network in Nottingham-one of the routes passes through my constituency-please will the Secretary of State look at Nottingham city council's plans for a workplace parking levy? I also ask him to consider the effect of that levy on jobs in my constituency. Boots employs more than 7,500...

Planning (Developer Bonds): Postal Services Bill (27 Oct 2010)

Anna Soubry: In my constituency there are 700 postal workers at the Beeston sorting office. To my knowledge, not one of them has written to urge me not to support the Bill. Two of them came to the Commons today to ask me not to support it-two in 700.

Oral Answers to Questions — Health: Prisoners' Right to Vote ( 2 Nov 2010)

Anna Soubry: In my 16 years at the criminal Bar, not one of my clients facing a custodial sentence has been upset at the prospect of losing his or her right to vote. Will the Minister please look with real care at the allegation that prisoners would receive huge sums in compensation? A report on the BBC says that the amount is some £700 per prisoner. If prisoners were to sue, I would urge the Government...

Written Answers — Home Department: Vetting ( 4 Nov 2010)

Anna Soubry: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what recent progress she has made on reviewing the effectiveness of the vetting and barring scheme as a means of protecting children and vulnerable adults; and if she will make a statement.

Anna Soubry: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent assessment his Department has made of the (a) safety and (b) viability of providing balloon dilation surgery to people diagnosed with chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency.

BBC Funding (CSR) (10 Nov 2010)

Anna Soubry: Is not the real problem with the BBC the fact that it has expanded into areas that it should not have expanded into, and that it has lost sight of the fact that it is a maker and broadcaster of programmes? In moving into websites, it is taking away from other websites. Most importantly, it is taking away the ability of people to work in print journalism. It is really threatening newspapers...

Written Answers — Health: Osteosarcoma: Drugs (11 Nov 2010)

Anna Soubry: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent representations he has received on the decision by the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence not to recommend the introduction of mifamurtide into the NHS; and if he will make a statement.

Anna Soubry: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what criteria he plans to use to assess whether his Department's contribution to the proposed private finance initiative funding of the extensions to the Nottingham Tram system is affordable.

Written Answers — Justice: Sexual Offences: Sentencing (22 Nov 2010)

Anna Soubry: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many sex offenders have been subject to an indeterminate public protection sentence since 2003; and how many of those have since been released from custody.

Oral Answers to Questions — Attorney-General: Domestic Violence (30 Nov 2010)

Anna Soubry: Women's refuges provide not only a safe place for women and their children, but a valuable service in the prosecution of men who have committed offences of violence against women. Will the Attorney-General do all he can to ensure that local authorities do not cut funding for women's refuges, given the service that they provide?

Oral Answers to Questions — Health: Rehabilitation and Sentencing ( 7 Dec 2010)

Anna Soubry: The majority of the people I represented who were burglars were addicted to drugs or alcohol. Does the Secretary of State agree that residential rehabilitation is usually far more effective at stopping such people reoffending than long custodial sentences?

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements ( 8 Dec 2010)

Anna Soubry: This morning, I spoke to one of my constituents-[Hon. Members: "Hooray!"] It might come as news to Labour Members, if they were quiet, and they should try it. Mrs Lowther, who is 76 years of age, is disabled and has been housebound for 11 days now, because of the snow and ice in Stapleford. Does the Prime Minister agree that in such inclement weather it is imperative that we are good...
