Income Tax (Charge) ( 6 Mar 2024)

Suella Braverman: ...them. A Labour Government will mean tax rises to fund £28 billion-worth of uncosted promises—Opposition colleagues are shaking their heads, but it is true. A Labour Government will mean undoing Brexit and aligning the UK more closely with the European Union, and opening our borders to potentially unlimited numbers of people from the EU. Just as night follows day, a Labour Government...

Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill: Clause 3 - Disapplication of the Human Rights Act 1998 (17 Jan 2024)

Suella Braverman: ...for the British people. We made a vow to the British people that we would stop the boats. That was a solemn vow that I took incredibly seriously. It was what people voted for in 2016 in the Brexit referendum by a majority. I know that most Opposition Members do not want to believe in the majority, still live in denial and do not want to accept the facts. It is what people voted for by a...

Personal Statement ( 6 Dec 2023)

Suella Braverman: ...leaving the European convention on human rights and replacing the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights that protects the vulnerable and our national security, and finishes the job of Brexit by extricating us from the foreign court and restoring real parliamentary supremacy, but I accept that the Government will not do that and that it is a debate for another day. Crucially, when...

Home Department: Refugee and Asylum Seeker Accommodation (18 Sep 2023)

Suella Braverman: ...and do not propose to do, is willingly accept thousands more illegal migrants into the UK from the EU, housed presumably in more hotels across the country, as Labour is proposing. I campaigned for Brexit to take back control of our borders, not for Labour to surrender our sovereignty to the EU.

Contest: UK Strategy for Countering Terrorism 2023 (19 Jul 2023)

Suella Braverman: I know the hon. Gentleman is on his Brexit bandwagon, or whatever it is, but the reality is that from a security point of view, we have never had stronger collaboration with international partners than today. We have continued to develop our global reach and insight through sustained working with allies. That is particularly with the Five Eyes, where we share an enormous amount of common...

Written Ministerial Statements — Home Office: Immigration update (23 May 2023)

Suella Braverman: ...Statistics (ONS) published data in November 2022 which estimated that net migration in the year June 2021 to June 2022 was at 504,000 - up significantly on the previous year, and higher than pre-Brexit volumes. They partly attributed this rise to temporary factors – such as a post-Covid surge and safe and legal routes, like the UK’s Ukraine and Hong Kong schemes. The immigration...

Illegal Migration Bill ( 7 Mar 2023)

Suella Braverman: Aside from humanitarian routes into this country, we also have an extensive points-based system, which we developed post Brexit. Thanks to our freedom on migration, we have issued a record number of work and study visas in the last year alone. People who want to come here for legitimate reasons should go through our points-based system.

Attorney General: Rule of Law: Government (10 Feb 2022)

Suella Braverman: ...live police investigation. The hon. Lady mentioned the rule of law; fundamental to the rule of law is democracy. I am proud to support this Prime Minister, who has honoured democracy by delivering Brexit and is now leading not just the UK but the world in beating covid. Had the Labour party been in charge, it would have cancelled Brexit, not delivered it, and we would have been in more...

Attorney General: Retained EU Law: Devolved Administrations (10 Feb 2022)

Suella Braverman: The Brexit freedoms Bill will once and for all take back control of the UK legal system, ending the special status of retained EU law and making it easier for the democratically elected UK Government to amend or remove it. The devolved Administrations have been kept informed of the progress of the reviews into retained EU law that will inform the Bill. The Government have engaged regularly...

Economy and Jobs (20 Jan 2020)

Suella Braverman: ...a focus on technical training will become critical for our workforce and our economy. It is the Conservatives who have relentlessly worked to eliminate the deficit and support business and, post Brexit, will pursue free trade. The fact is that if we want to help the poorest in our society we have to enable competitiveness, productivity and business confidence, which spurs private sector...

Britain in the World (13 Jan 2020)

Suella Braverman: ...the point raised by the hon. Member for Newcastle upon Tyne Central (Chi Onwurah), does my right hon. Friend agree that our focus will rightly be on negotiating a good trade deal with the EU after Brexit day? However, our ability to negotiate with the US is just as important. Both are vital to increase export opportunities for UK businesses, but the US trade agreement is important so that...

European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill: Rights related to residence: application deadline and temporary protection ( 7 Jan 2020)

Suella Braverman: ...and the legal sector to identify their concerns so that we could design a new framework that would not only command their confidence but, above all, work. I should say at the outset that with Brexit, free movement will obviously come to an end. That is one reason many people voted to leave the European Union, myself included. I am the child of immigrants, yet I do not have a problem with...

European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill (20 Dec 2019)

Suella Braverman: ...and, I am sure, was critical in winning over some of those undecided voters. Can the people trust their politicians? That might seem like a trite question, but it is pertinent in the context of Brexit. As the Prime Minister has said, that precious contract of trust between citizen and state, between voter and politician, has been stretched to breaking point over the past year. Pledges,...

Tuition Fees: EU Students (29 Apr 2019)

Suella Braverman: Does my hon. Friend agree that, post Brexit, we want to continue to attract bright students from many countries all over the world? The proposal that we should exempt EU students from paying fees yet impose them on those from other countries is inherently unfair and, in fact, discriminatory. It does not make economic sense or reflect the open Britain that we are striving to create.

Honda in Swindon (19 Feb 2019)

Suella Braverman: ...hon. Friend agree or disagree, for the sake of those who are failing to understand, with the senior vice-president of Honda, Ian Howells, who has confirmed that this decision has nothing to do with Brexit, is not driven by Brexit and is not because of Brexit?

Leaving the EU: European Union (Withdrawal) Act (14 Jan 2019)

Suella Braverman: ...vote with my conscience against this deal. It is the reason why I resigned as a Minister from the Department for Exiting the European Union in November. The simple truth is that this deal is not Brexit. It is neither what a majority of voters in Fareham voted for in the referendum nor what 80% of voters backed at the general election. But we are being told that, yes, it does honour the...

Exiting the European Union: Second EU Referendum (25 Oct 2018)

Suella Braverman: My hon. Friend makes his point skilfully. People trusted that their voices would be heard, and to ask the question all over again would be a betrayal of our democracy and of that trust. Whether on Brexit or on Scottish independence, politicians north and south of the border should think twice before they choose to let people down in this way.

Exiting the European Union: Leaving the EU: Legislation (25 Oct 2018)

Suella Braverman: The Government take very seriously the concerns of local authorities when it comes to Brexit preparations. I have met local government leaders all over the country to talk about the subject. I am glad that the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government has set up a Brexit delivery board to co-ordinate the work of local authorities and Government on preparations for...

Written Answers — Department for Exiting the European Union: Manufacturing Industries: West Midlands (17 Oct 2018)

Suella Braverman: ...in support of our EU exit negotiations and preparations including for the automotive sector. I myself was pleased to visit the West Midlands and hear from local business representatives about Brexit. We do not want or expect a no deal scenario, however, as a responsible Government we are preparing plans for a range of outcomes. We have already carried out very significant ‘no deal’...

Yemen: Legislating for the Withdrawal Agreement (10 Sep 2018)

Suella Braverman: For this Government to take Labour’s lead on anything to do with Brexit would be a serious derogation of our duty, because Labour does not have a plan and would completely let down this country if it was in charge of Brexit negotiations. We have prioritised the position of EU citizens from day one of these negotiations. This agreement will safeguard these rights, and the withdrawal...
