Tributes to Her Late Majesty The Queen ( 9 Sep 2022)

Mark Francois: ...put a foot wrong. She was perhaps the most famous person in the world, and possibly the most popular, too. If the House will indulge me, it is almost a year since we lost our great friend Sir David Amess, whom I mention because it is fair to say that he was rather keen on the monarchy, and on Her late Majesty the Queen in particular. I well remember him bursting with pride when she...

No-fault Benefit Debts (21 Jul 2022)

David Rutley: I congratulate the hon. Member for Glasgow East (David Linden) on securing the debate. It is always a pleasure to follow the Deputy Leader of the House, who was responding to the Sir David Amess summer Adjournment debate—even the fact that the debate has been named after him is very moving. I also congratulate the hon. Member for Glasgow East on his tenacity and assiduous approach to these...

Sir David Amess Summer Adjournment (21 Jul 2022)

Ian Mearns: I thank the Deputy Leader of the House. It is a tough gig, answering this debate. This has been an historic first Sir David Amess summer Adjournment debate. I thank Members across the House for taking part and raising a wide range of issues. I am sure that the letter writers in the offices of the Leader of the House and the Deputy Leader of the House will be busy for a few days following...

Human Rights Abuses and Corruption: UK Sanctions (21 Jul 2022)

I...

Business of the House (21 Jul 2022)

Mark Spencer: ...rates are close to a 50-year low. We are delivering historic funding to our NHS. We are recruiting 20,000 police officers, with 13,500 already in place. Finally, as we get to the Sir David Amess debate this afternoon, which the brilliant Deputy Leader of the House will respond to, I know that all Members will want to add their thanks and best wishes, along with the shadow Leader of the...

Women’s Health Strategy for England (20 Jul 2022)

Hannah Bardell: ...will be backed up by proper support and funding? Women’s healthcare champions are fantastic, but they cannot replace proper funding and a proper strategy. I pay tribute to the work of Sir David Amess: I have no doubt that this strategy and the endometriosis aspects of it would not be there without the great work he did as chair of the all-party group.

Confidence in Her Majesty’s Government (18 Jul 2022)

Peter Bottomley: ..., as the British people did in 2019, that we prefer us in government, not them. That is not to say that the Government have got everything right. If I were taking part in the Thursday Sir David Amess debate, I could list the things on which the Government could make changes. I want them to drop the privatisation of Channel 4, as there is no point in it, and I want them to reconsider the...

Business of the House ( 7 Jul 2022)

Ian Mearns: ..., when allowed, to a debate on, “Matters to be raised before the forthcoming summer Adjournment”. The Committee has agreed that, to honour his memory, it would be a fitting tribute to Sir David Amess, who was cruelly taken from us last October, if that debate was renamed the “Sir David Amess Summer Adjournment Debate”. Sir David was renowned among our colleagues for his regular...

Farmed Animals: Cages — [Mark Pritchard in the Chair] (20 Jun 2022)

Matt Vickers: ...for Rutherglen and Hamilton West (Margaret Ferrier) spoke of the great interest shown by her constituents in the subject, and of their love of animals.

My right hon. Friend the Member for...

Grenfell Tower: Fifth Anniversary (16 Jun 2022)

Margaret Ferrier: ...rescue raised concerns in this area for years with a number of Ministers, but they fell on deaf ears. I take this opportunity to pay tribute to our late colleague and chair of the APPG Sir David Amess, who was a vocal advocate for fire safety and championed the cause regularly in this Chamber. The APPG, of which I am a co-vice chair and which is chaired by the hon. Member for Harrow East...

Business of the House (16 Jun 2022)

Peter Bone: ...of the dreadful murder of Jo Cox, who I remember as a happy young Labour MP who was clearly going to make a mark on this place—I also think, of course, of the loss of my dear friend David Amess—I thought it might be helpful to the House if I read out an email that I got yesterday: “Hi, Just wanted to say something to you Peter. YOU ARE AN ODIOUS”— the next word begins with F, and...

Government Policy on Syria (15 Jun 2022)

Amanda Milling: ...to the legacy of Jo Cox and her commitment to the people of Syria, noting, as the hon. Member mentioned, that it is the anniversary of her horrific murder tomorrow and the fact that Sir David Amess chaired the last debate on this subject. As she said, they are both sorely missed by this House. Bashar al-Assad and his allies, including Russia, have inflicted terrible suffering on Syrians...

Social Housing and Building Safety ( 9 Jun 2022)

Lisa Nandy: ...in south London, where six people lost their lives. In those intervening decades, the alarm was raised many times. One parliamentary inquiry led by the former Member for Southend West, David Amess, who is much missed in all parts of this House, warned that it should not “take a serious fire in which many people are killed before all reasonable steps are taken towards minimising the...

National Security Bill ( 6 Jun 2022)

Priti Patel: ...and sadly, as we all know only too well, we face home-grown threats as well. Last year, each and every one of us in the House was shattered by the murder of our dear colleague and friend Sir David Amess. We know that the nature of the threats we face is changing. We must protect our country from the old challenges, but also confront the new ones. We have seen in the last year alone how...

John Glen: ...), and I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Harrogate and Knaresborough (Andrew Jones) for raising his constituent’s case.

Preventing Crime and Delivering Justice (11 May 2022)

Priti Patel: ...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 to work...

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...

Queen’s Speech - Debate (1st Day): Motion for an Humble Address (10 May 2022)

Baroness Evans of Bowes Park: ...that we are, I am afraid, once again in turbulent times. The past year has been challenging for our parliamentary community in many ways. I will take a moment to particularly remember Sir David Amess MP, who died serving his constituents. A veteran parliamentarian of almost four decades, he was admired across both Houses for his good humour, kindness and dedication to public service. I...
