Covid-19 Update and Hospitality Curfew ( 1 Oct 2020)

Karl Turner: Over six months into the pandemic, people in my constituency still see no sign of the world-beating test and trace system that they were promised. Does the Secretary of State feel any personal responsibility for the utter chaos that is putting lives and livelihoods at risk in my constituency and across the country?

Justice: Criminal Legal Aid (22 Sep 2020)

Karl Turner: Again, we have heard warm words from the Dispatch Box. I am sorry to have to spoil the Justice Secretary’s birthday, but the truth is this: the Government simply have not got to grips with the crisis in legal aid, and those on the front line of our criminal justice system know it. Nearly two years on from the announcement of a criminal legal aid review, the plan for accelerated items has...

Transport: Seafarers: Furlough Scheme (17 Sep 2020)

Karl Turner: What estimate he has made of the number of UK seafarers who will be directly affected by the end of the Government’s furlough schemes.

Transport: Seafarers: Furlough Scheme (17 Sep 2020)

Karl Turner: The job retention scheme has clearly helped businesses right across our economy, including in the maritime industries of port constituencies such as mine in east Hull, but when it is clear that the shipping and ferry sectors may take years to recover, the Chancellor is casting jobs in east Hull adrift by ending the furlough scheme, with no replacement and no plan. What action is the Minister...

Justice: Access to Justice (14 Jul 2020)

Karl Turner: Legal aid lawyers are being asked, yet again, to carry the can for a decade of mismanagement on the part of successive Tory Ministers. Lawyers are now expected to work extended hours for no extra pay to clear the half a million backlog of criminal cases caused by savage cuts. Legal aid lawyers do not support extended or flexible operating hours, but why would they? Their patience and good...

Transport: Maritime Sector Jobs ( 2 Jul 2020)

Karl Turner: What steps he is taking to help protect jobs in the maritime sector.

Transport: Maritime Sector Jobs ( 2 Jul 2020)

Karl Turner: P&O Ferries, which is owned by the Government of Dubai, has pocketed millions from the British taxpayer during the covid crisis. It is now intending to make British seafarers redundant and replace them with low-paid, badly treated Filipino crews, because it says that the routes are not viable when using British seafarers. The Secretary of State told the Transport Committee that there is...

Caravan Industry: Hull and East Riding (15 Jun 2020)

Karl Turner: I am very grateful to the Minister for giving way. I do not expect an answer on the two chief asks immediately, because the Minister will, of course, have to make representations to the Treasury. None the less, will he be prepared to meet the National Caravan Council and perhaps some of the manufacturers to discuss those specific asks?

Caravan Industry: Hull and East Riding (15 Jun 2020)

Karl Turner: I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle (Emma Hardy) on securing this incredibly important debate. I want to reiterate some of the points she made. We are incredibly proud of the caravan manufacturing industry in our neck of the woods. Those jobs are incredibly good jobs and they pay very well. In 2008-09, despite the previous Labour Government’s...

Caravan Industry: Hull and East Riding (15 Jun 2020)

Karl Turner: Madam Deputy Speaker, you are absolutely right of course, and I take your advice on board, and apologise indeed. Madam Deputy Speaker, I finish, as I was saying, on a plea to the Minister: if the Government support us now, that will be repaid tenfold in this manufacturing industry. Thank you very much indeed, Madam Deputy Speaker.

Horizon: Sub-Postmaster Convictions (10 Jun 2020)

Karl Turner: Many hundreds of postmasters were forced to pay back many thousands of pounds to the Post Office—moneys that were never in fact owed or, indeed, missing. That in itself should trigger a criminal investigation. How much of that money went to pay the previous chief executive’s £5 million salary, and why can the Minister not accept that only a judge will get to the bottom of this...

Justice: Topical Questions ( 9 Jun 2020)

Karl Turner: Legal aid lawyers, often doing the most complex cases, are already struggling for their financial survival, but the Justice Secretary now plans to pile on more pressure through reforms of fixed fees in immigration and asylum appeal cases. He knows that this change means that lawyers will be forced to do more for an awful lot less or will simply walk away, so will he acknowledge that this...

Justice: Topical Questions ( 9 Jun 2020)

Karl Turner: It’s cynical.

Horizon Settlement: Future Governance of Post Office Ltd (19 Mar 2020)

Karl Turner: Will the Minister give way?

Horizon Settlement: Future Governance of Post Office Ltd (19 Mar 2020)

Karl Turner: I congratulate my right hon. Friend the Member for North Durham (Mr Jones) on securing this debate and on moving the motion. We have had discussions over the years about this case, which is a massive scandal, the likes of which I have not seen before. Before my election to this House in 2010, I prosecuted and defended in criminal proceedings from my local chambers in Hull and, prior to that,...

Horizon Settlement: Future Governance of Post Office Ltd (19 Mar 2020)

Karl Turner: I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman. I have described this as the most grotesque version of predatory capitalism I have ever seen. Why? Because £1 billion was invested and senior officials in the Post Office and Fujitsu did everything they possibly could to protect themselves. They knew. Let us be absolutely clear about that. They knew that there were victims who might go to prison—or who...

Horizon Settlement: Future Governance of Post Office Ltd (19 Mar 2020)

Karl Turner: The hon. Lady is absolutely right. These sub-postmasters were respected in the community. The Post Office is a respected organisation that we should all be incredibly proud of, but that was part of the problem. The Post Office was believed. The lies that Ministers, officials and everyone else were told along the line were believed as well. That is why only a judge-led inquiry can possibly...

Business of the House (19 Mar 2020)

Karl Turner: There is a lot of rivalry in the rugby league, especially in Hull, where we are blessed to have two super league teams: Hull FC and Hull Kingston Rovers. It is clear that rugby league clubs need a special scheme of support. I spoke with both clubs’ chairmen yesterday evening, and they are very worried about the survival of their clubs as a result of covid-19. Can we have a statement from a...

Private Rented Sector: Surrey: M25 Noise Pollution (17 Mar 2020)

Karl Turner: It is always an absolute pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Gary. I congratulate the hon. Member for Woking (Mr Lord) on securing this debate, which is incredibly important to his constituents. I intend to keep my remarks incredibly brief, not least because I know the Minister, and I know that she is working incredibly hard with her officials on other business. Noise pollution is...

Transport: European Aviation Safety Agency Membership (12 Mar 2020)

Karl Turner: The aviation industry is in crisis and 84,000 UK jobs are potentially under threat, yet the Government plan to withdraw from EASA, despite the warnings from the industry and despite its costing 10 times as much money. Will the Transport Secretary put a stop to this reckless plan, stop this needless waste of public money and protect Britain’s impressive and world-leading role in aviation safety?
