Preventing Crime and Delivering Justice (11 May 2022)
Priti Patel: ...s Hospital last year would have been a disaster, had it not been for the incredible quick thinking and courage of the taxi driver involved on the scene. The terrible murder of our dear friend Sir David Amess was shocking, but not without precedent. We have worked closely together, Mr Speaker, to tighten security for Members, and we will continue to do so, and this Government will continue...
Debate on the Address: [1st day] (10 May 2022)
Matt Western: ...) back in her place earlier, and to hear the very good maiden speech by the new hon. Member for Southend West (Anna Firth). We have been reminded of the three good colleagues we have lost: David Amess, James Brokenshire, whose memorial service took place yesterday, and, of course, our own Jack Dromey. They are all missed. I intended to say a few words about the Prime Minister, but I will...

Baroness Evans of Bowes Park: ...agree that we are, I am afraid, once again in turbulent times. The past year has been challenging for our parliamentary community in many ways.

Emergency Services: Ministers of Religion - Question (26 Apr 2022)
Lord Moylan: My Lords, I congratulate my noble friend and the Government on taking action on this delicate matter, which came to prominent attention at the time of the tragic murder of Sir David Amess.

But it remains, as my noble friend says, entirely an...
Online Safety Bill (19 Apr 2022)
Mark Francois: My right hon. Friend will know that, last Wednesday, the man who murdered our great friend Sir David Amess was sentenced to a whole-life term. David felt very strongly that we need legislation to protect MPs, particularly female MPs, from vile misogynistic abuse. In his memory, will she assure me that her Bill will honour the spirit of that request?
Easter Adjournment (31 Mar 2022)
Mark Spencer: ...that I have probably less than a minute per contribution, but I will of course do my very best to get through as much as I can. I cannot really proceed any further without making reference to Sir David Amess.

Priti Patel: ...to substantial down from severe. Whilst positive, the security landscape remains complex, volatile and unpredictable as the attack outside Liverpool Women’s Hospital and the killing of Sir David Amess sadly reminds us. The Home Office continues in its efforts, working with operational partners, to build improvements into the UK’s counter-terrorism response. Enabling the legitimate...
Digital, Culture, Media and Sport: Topical Questions (24 Mar 2022)

Commonwealth Day — [Geraint Davies in the Chair] (15 Mar 2022)
Amanda Milling: ...the Chamber, and I will do my best to deal with the points they have made, but I want to begin by mentioning one colleague who has been sorely missed during today’s debate: our dear friend, Sir David Amess. Sir David was a passionate advocate for the Commonwealth, and he took part in last year’s debate with his customary good humour, insight and conviction. As Minister for Asia, I had...
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Coastal Communities (10 Mar 2022)
Rebecca Pow: I thank my hon. Friend for that question and welcome her to her seat. How wonderful that she has chosen DEFRA orals to ask her first question. That is very fitting, because I think the wonderful Sir David Amess never missed DEFRA questions. She is going to be a great spokesman for her area on this front. She makes a good case for the importance of keeping our waters healthy. In terms of...
Rape and Sexual Violence (8 Mar 2022)
Tim Farron: ...and girls, angry is that we see precious little action. I am trying to be sensitive in what I say here. In my time as a Member of Parliament, we have lost two precious colleagues in Jo Cox and David Amess, and we grieve them and miss them. The response of the authorities, the security services and the police to those horrific murders was to strengthen our security; we see police turning up...
Health and Social Care: Kettering General Hospital (1 Mar 2022)
Edward Argar: ...to visit my hon. Friend’s constituency. He is a forceful advocate for that constituency and for his hospital, as indeed—if I may slightly crave your indulgence, Mr Speaker—was the late Sir David Amess. Today is the day that Southend-on-Sea officially becomes a city, so I just wanted to shoehorn that into the record. On my hon. Friend’s point, we will do everything we can to...

Kit Malthouse: ...a moment. I am sure that all hon. Members will recall vividly how proceedings in St Margaret’s church were intruded on by protesters’ noise when we were paying our respects to our colleague Sir David Amess. I am not sure we could call that intrusion damaging; if anything, it made us sing all the loudly and filled the church with an air of defiance as we mourned. However, we have to...
Scottish Parliament: Online Safety Bill (23 Feb 2022)
Jamie Greene: One of the proposals in the online safety bill is to be David’s law, which is named after Sir David Amess—a public servant who paid the ultimate price as a result of hatred. I hope that, in a spirit of co-operation, the Scottish Government will look favourably on any such proposal. I ask the cabinet secretary to ensure that his officials will work closely with UK Government officials on...
Endometriosis Workplace Support — [Geraint Davies in the Chair] (9 Feb 2022)
Jim Shannon: ...raise the issue again and to seek what we hope will be a positive response from the Minister. Like the hon. Member for Livingston (Hannah Bardell), I wish to put on the record that I remember Sir David Amess, who was the chair of the APPG on endometriosis and whom we greatly miss. Like others, I remember his family dearly in my prayers, given the gaping loss in their lives. I am honoured...

Selaine Saxby: ...her maiden speech, we have “far more in common than that which divides us.”—[Official Report, 3 June 2015; Vol. 596, c. 675.] Today, many colleagues have referenced our fallen colleague, Sir David Amess, which is so timely the morning after the election of his successor for the city of Southend; we all look forward to welcoming her to the House next week.

We have heard some excellent speeches this morning. My hon....
Holocaust Memorial Day (27 Jan 2022)
Eddie Hughes: ...happens when hatred, intolerance, prejudice and antisemitism are left unchallenged. That very hope was echoed during last year’s Holocaust Memorial Day debate, when our hon. Friend the late Sir David Amess said: “I simply do not understand and have never understood antisemitism. The most important lesson from the holocaust is that although we cannot police the world, it is simply not...
