Antisemitic Attacks (17 May 2021)

John Howell: The antisemitism of the weekend has been inflamed by allegations originating with perhaps easily disproved campaigns concerning the al-Aqsa mosque, despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of Muslims worship there during Ramadan and Eid. My right hon. Friend has described a lot of what he is going to do, but what more can he do to stop antisemitic mistruths being used to drive a wedge...

John Howell: ...2020 to Question 120022 on Palestinians: Radicalism, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies in the event that the Palestinian Authority does not (a) remove material allegedly inciting violence against Israel and Jews from the school curriculum and (b) change the names of official Palestinian Authority schools reportedly named after terrorists.

John Howell: ...Question 117220 on Palestinians: Radicalism, what representations he has made to the Palestinian Authority on (a) the content of textbooks in the new Palestinian Authority school curriculum which allegedly incites violence against Israel and Jews and (b) the reported naming of official Palestinian Authority schools after people convicted of terrorism offences.

Release Under Investigation ( 5 Feb 2020)

John Howell: ...means police do not keep suspects updated as to the progress of an investigation.” Everyone in the criminal justice system is a loser from that—from police officers to victims and the people alleged to have committed the crime. Defence lawyers are also victims of it, and my conclusion is that RUI has been a dismal failure.

Backbench Business: Sharia Law Courts — [David Hanson in the Chair] ( 2 May 2019)

John Howell: ...being questioned impartially by council members, who are almost all men, and feeling blamed for the breakdown of the marriage; and unjustified requirements to pay back their dowry. There are also allegations that sharia councils have issued discriminatory rulings on child custody. The Casey review cited claims that “some Sharia Councils have been supporting the values of extremists,...

Russian Annexation of Crimea (24 Apr 2019)

John Howell: ...children studying in Ukrainian has decreased from 14,000 in 2013-14 to 172 in the 2017-18 school year. Russia has banned the highest representative body of Crimean Tatars—the Mejlis—under false allegations of extremist activity. Despite the clear meaning of the 2017 International Court of Justice order to “refrain, pending the final decision in the case, from maintaining or imposing...

Gender Pay Gap ( 4 Apr 2019)

John Howell: Will the Minister look at the situation at Christ Church, Oxford, where the dean has been suspended, allegedly for trying to introduce equal pay for men and women?

Human Rights in the UK — [Mike Gapes in the Chair] (13 Feb 2019)

John Howell: ...they have to exhaust all domestic remedies first, before they have recourse to the European Court of Human Rights. They cannot go straight to the European Court of Human Rights. There has to be an alleged violation of the convention, and significant disadvantage from that. The response I would like to hear from the Minister is along the lines of what has already been said—indeed, it was...

Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Bill (11 Jun 2018)

John Howell: ...have discussed on many occasions, Hezbollah has long insisted that its military and non-military activities are indivisible. At the al-Quds Day rally this weekend, we saw the waving of flags of the alleged non-military wing of Hezbollah, but Hezbollah in its entirety meets the test for full proscription, which would then make it subject to the Bill. I wonder whether the Minister for...

Turkey ( 7 Jun 2018)

John Howell: ...it trying to make sure that Israel gets a fair view. It is an extreme pleasure for me to be able to say that our co-operation in that area also extends to Turkey, although I wish to park the Israel allegations that have been made for a moment. It is very difficult to have a debate on Turkey that does not mention the Council of Europe, which was set up to look after democracy, the rule of...

Palestinian Children and Israeli Military Detention ( 7 Feb 2018)

John Howell: ...is not a description of Israel; it is a description of the UK following the 2011 riots. Why has there been no Westminster Hall debate on the treatment of minors by the Palestinian authorities, the allegations of rape in Egyptian custody or the death sentences imposed on minors in Saudi Arabia?

Bills Presented: Ukraine, Middle East, North Africa and Security (10 Sep 2014)

John Howell: ...has been accused by Amnesty International and other NGOs of human rights abuses against the people of Gaza and of war crimes.” The shocking images of 22 Palestinians being lined up to be shot for allegedly supporting Israel should have sent shivers down the spines of those watching. This all demonstrates that the solution to Gaza does not lie in a Hamas-controlled state. I remain...

Business of the House: Ellison Review ( 6 Mar 2014)

John Howell: The allegations are extremely serious, indeed. Notwithstanding what the Home Secretary has said about the general nature of policing, they show that there is a great need to change the culture of policing in this country. She has put a lot of faith in bringing in outside talent, but does she really think that that is enough?
