Conor McGinn: I do not often get the chance to speak in the House—being shadow Minister without portfolio means having a lot to do, but often without the opportunity to say very much—so I am delighted to be able to contribute to the debate. The Home Secretary is just leaving the Chamber. This will not do either her or me very much good—I may even get chased from this place by my own colleagues—but...
Conor McGinn: That will definitely not do me any good. One thing I admire about the Home Secretary, even though I profoundly disagree with her, is that she believes in things.

I do not think for a second that the Government think that an...

None the less, it is a pleasure to be...
Conor McGinn: I have a great deal of sympathy with what the hon. Gentleman says.

Gentleman will be delighted to know that, just on Tuesday, Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, alongside my hon....
Conor McGinn: The hon. Gentleman makes a good point. I recognise and acknowledge the incredibly challenging work that he does to speak up in this House for Irish Travellers, and I hope he knows that he has my full support in that task, as does the Irish Traveller community. We know that the impact of the UK leaving the EU has meant that there have been, and will be, testing times for the relationship...
