I thank the Prime Minister for his commitment to delivering the Hillsborough law, but it has been proven that MI5 spent six years misleading the public and concealing information following the Manchester Arena bombing. There was no risk to national security because it was a closed hearing, so will the Prime Minister deliver justice for those families and confirm that the Government will bring forward an amendment that will make robust the duties and responsibilities of candour for all parts of the state, including individuals in the security services, so we can finally say, “Never again”?
Context
MI5 spent six years misleading the public and concealing information following the Manchester Arena bombing, which had no risk to national security because it was a closed hearing.
The Prime Minister (Keir Starmer)
I thank my hon. Friend. The Hillsborough law will right wrongs of the past, changing the balance of power to ensure the state can never hide from the people it should serve. I think some of the families are with us in the Gallery here today, and I will be meeting them later on this afternoon. I have always been clear that the duty of candour applies to the intelligence services. I made a commitment that we would not water down the Bill, and the amendments we have put forward strengthen it. It is right that there are essential safeguards in place to protect national security, and we have got that balance right.

Does the Prime Minister agree that only this Government are on the side of working people? It is Labour that is creating tens of thousands of jobs and protecting workers from unfair dismissal.
Context
Reform party members voted against the Employment Rights Bill multiple times, while Labour has been working on improving workers' rights.
The Prime Minister
I am proud that we have delivered the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation—which the Tories and Reform have voted against at every turn, as they always do with any form of workers’ rights and protections. The deal that we struck on Monday with Turkey is worth £8 billion, 20,000 jobs and 10 years of work in manufacturing the Typhoons.
Assessment
Did not directly address the question regarding Labour's stance on workers' rights.

Last Saturday marked eight years since Grenfell—eight years fighting for justice. Can the Deputy Prime Minister confirm whether this Labour Government will bring forward the Hillsborough law without delay? Will they honour promises made to victims and deliver justice?
Context
Eight years after the Grenfell tragedy, Anneliese Midgley asked about the government's commitment to bring forward legislation for victims of state cover-ups.
The Deputy Prime Minister (Angela Rayner)
We remain fully committed to bringing in a Hillsborough law. Measures will be brought forward as soon as we are confident they will deliver justice that victims deserve.

Will the Prime Minister commit to making sure that Olivia’s law becomes law as fast as possible?
Context
Mrs. Midgley read aloud a victim impact statement from Cheryl Korbel, whose daughter was killed by Thomas Cashman, who refused to face her in court.
The Prime Minister (Keir Starmer)
I thank my hon. Friend for reading that victim impact statement. I know from talking to Cheryl how hard it was for her to make that victim impact statement in the first place; it took a huge amount of courage, and grief. She wanted to read that statement to the perpetrator, as she should have been able to do. I therefore thank my hon. Friend for reading that impact statement out in the Chamber, allowing it to be heard by the whole world.
Cowards who commit these heinous crimes should face the consequences of their actions, which have a huge impact on victims’ lives. That is why we will force offenders to attend their sentencing hearings, with longer sentences, unlimited fines and prison sanctions for those who seek to avoid facing justice.

Last week, I met my constituent Cheryl Korbel, the mother of Olivia Pratt-Korbel, the nine-year-old who was tragically murdered in 2022. Cheryl is campaigning for Olivia's law, which would compel convicted criminals to attend court to face the judge and receive their sentence. Will my right hon. and learned Friend commit himself to supporting Olivia's law, and will he meet Cheryl to discuss how we can move this forward without delay?
Context
Cheryl Korbel is campaigning for Olivia's law, which would compel convicted criminals to attend court to face the judge and receive their sentence.
Keir Starmer
In the King's Speech, we confirmed that we intended to introduce legislation in this Session so that courts would have the power to order the most serious offenders to attend their sentencing hearings. This is really important, and I know that that is felt across the House, because to deprive victims and their families of seeing the sentencing exercise is to deprive them of justice. I will meet Cheryl; indeed, I have already met Cheryl, and I gave her a commitment last August that we would do this.

Last week I met with Knowsley chamber of commerce, and we all welcomed the Government's youth guarantee. Some 55,000 placements is a great start, but no scheme starts are currently planned in Knowsley, where the likelihood of young people not being in employment, education or training is higher than average. Will the Secretary of State commit to expanding the scheme and meet me and Knowsley chamber of commerce to discuss how we can get more young people into good jobs in Knowsley?
Context
The MP highlighted the positive impact of the youth guarantee and the need for expansion in Knowsley.
Pat McFadden
My hon. Friend has spoken powerfully of how unemployment in her constituency has scarred generations. I assure her that the youth guarantee will become nationwide by the end of the year. We have to break the cycle of intergenerational unemployment that she has spoken about, and I share her desire to be more ambitious in that area. I am very happy to keep up a dialogue with her and to meet with her, or to have a fellow Minister in the team do so.

Members of James Bulger’s family are my constituents, and they are yet again facing the agony of another parole hearing for Jon Venables, an ordeal that continues to retraumatise them more than 30 years after James’s horrific murder. While Parole Board decisions are rightly independent, the system must command public confidence, so will the Minister give the Parole Board an overarching assessment of Venables’ current risk and tell the House what reviews of the automatic two-year parole hearing cycle are being considered?
Context
The James Bulger case is a specific example where the family faces repeated trauma due to parole hearings for Jon Venables, more than 30 years after the murder.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice (Jake Richards)
My hon. Friend is a fine champion for her constituency, and has raised this case with both me and other Ministers on numerous occasions. Baroness Levitt, who is responsible for Parole Board hearings, will meet Ralph Bulger and his legal advisers this afternoon to discuss this very issue, and I am sure she will be able to offer some more substantive answers to my hon. Friend’s constituent’s question. I put on record my thanks to Ralph for his campaign, and am very happy to meet him or anyone else on this issue in due course.

Will the Minister consider enabling all local authorities in the most deprived areas to have an above-average increase in core spending power in each year of the local government multi-year settlement, including in Liverpool city region?
Context
There is a need to ensure that local authorities in the most deprived areas receive adequate funding support.
Alison McGovern
I am proud to say that this settlement reconnects council funding with deprivation, and I have already explained the detail of that to the House. We will continue working towards that goal.

What steps her Department is taking to ensure that it meets its target of two thirds of young people participating in higher-level learning. In Knowsley, while we are making progress with work from the council and organisations such as the Brilliant Club, we still fall below average for young people going into higher learning. Barriers remain to continuing education, and to developing skills for good jobs and good lives.
Context
In Knowsley, there is progress but still a gap in young people participating in higher education.
The Secretary of State for Education (Bridget Phillipson)
Later today I will make a statement on our post-16 education and skills White Paper, which sets out measures to support this learning ambition. For too long, skills have not been taken seriously, and that stops with Labour. Our long-term plan for national renewal will unlock opportunity for our young people, and drive growth for our country with clearer pathways, stronger alignment, and a renewed partnership between Government and business.

The families have been campaigning for a Hillsborough law for 36 years, and their demand has always been clear: a law with a duty of candour at its heart. There have been too many broken promises and missed deadlines. Can the Solicitor General tell me when the Government will bring forward the Hillsborough law? Will it honour the promises made to victims of state cover-ups and finally deliver justice for the 97?
Context
Families have been campaigning for a Hillsborough law with a statutory duty of candour for 36 years, demanding justice after state cover-ups. The Solicitor General is pressed on the timing of the legislation.
The Solicitor General
I thank my hon. Friend for her question. She has been a resolute and steadfast champion for the Hillsborough families, and indeed for the justice she referred to. As she knows, the Government, including the Prime Minister, have been working closely with the families, and I can confirm that the draft Bill will include a statutory duty of candour for public servants, with criminal sanctions for those who do not comply, and measures to decisively tackle the disparity between the state and bereaved families at inquests. As to timing, I know that everyone is working extremely hard to get the legislation right. The Government hope to be in a position to introduce a Bill to Parliament very soon.

Will the Minister meet me and residents of Beech and Willow Rise in Kirby, where a combination of failed leasehold law, previous corporate entities and inadequate regulation risks leaving residents facing unaffordable costs and eviction?
Context
Residents of Beech and Willow Rise in Kirby face unaffordable costs and potential eviction due to failed leasehold law, previous corporate entities, and inadequate regulation.
Matthew Pennycook (The Minister for Housing and Planning)
I am always happy to meet my hon. Friend. I know she has had constructive conversations with the Minister with responsibility for building safety, my hon. Friend the Member for Nottingham North and Kimberley (Alex Norris), but I am happy to meet her.

What recent discussions has he had with the Scottish Government on the impact of the Barnett formula on levels of funding for the NHS in Scotland? Despite record funding provided by the Labour Government, the SNP plans to downgrade the neonatal intensive care unit at university hospital Wishaw, which could force families of sick babies to travel as far as Aberdeen for treatment and support. Does he agree that the SNP cut should be reversed?
Context
The question arises from discussions on the impact of the Barnett formula on NHS funding levels in Scotland, particularly concerning neonatal intensive care unit downgrades proposed by the SNP.
The Secretary of State for Scotland (Ian Murray)
As the father of an 18-week-old daughter, I am absolutely horrified by those proposals and I know that they will be causing anxiety for families across Lanarkshire. That is why it is so disappointing to see the SNP candidate in the Hamilton by-election back the plans to downgrade the Wishaw neonatal unit. The way to send a message to the SNP that that is unacceptable is to vote for Davy Russell tomorrow in the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election.

Abbey Group in Knowsley partners with Sweden’s Saab to produce the world-class Saab Barracuda camouflage system used by the British Army. It is a prime example of British manufacturing at its best: backed by international collaboration and providing good jobs. However, small and medium-sized enterprises such as Abbey need stability and support. What is my right hon. Friend doing to ensure that they get it?
Context
Abbey Group partners with Saab to produce the Barracuda camouflage system used by the British Army. The company requires stability and support from the government.
John Healey (The Secretary of State for Defence)
We have committed to set new SME spending targets and establish a new SME support centre. In the last week, we have launched a new tech scaler, and we will strengthen the SME voice on the new defence industrial joint council.

My constituent June is 74 years old and has stage 4 cancer. She had to queue—not phone, but queue—at her GP surgery at 8 am, only not to be given an appointment. What is the Secretary of State doing to stop such dreadful situations?
Context
A constituent of Anneliese Midgley, June, a 74-year-old woman with stage 4 cancer, faced difficulties in securing a GP appointment.
Wes Streeting (The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care)
I am very sorry to hear of June’s experience. It illustrates why our determination to end the 8 am scramble for appointments is so necessary, starting with a new requirement for practices to make online appointment requests available through core hours, as well as the big uplift we have invested into general practice. I hope that will start to see improvements so that people like June will not be left queuing outside in the cold.

I thank my right hon. Friend for his answer. The Employment Rights Bill is an historic step forward for workers, but these rights must go hand in hand with good jobs. What action is he taking to strengthen the UK’s manufacturing capacity and supply chains to ensure that communities such as mine in Knowsley benefit from the transition to net zero?
Context
The Employment Rights Bill aims to enhance workers' rights, but there is a need to ensure these are complemented by good job opportunities. Anneliese Midgley highlights the importance of strengthening UK manufacturing capacity and supply chains.
The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Ed Miliband)
My hon. Friend is a brilliant advocate for her constituency, and on this issue of manufacturing jobs. If we look at what this Government are doing—from GB Energy to the national wealth fund and the clean industry bonus—we see that this Government are determined to ensure that we manufacture in Britain. We care about where things are made, and we will make those good manufacturing jobs happen.

If she will bring forward legislative proposals to enable courts to order the attendance of offenders at sentencing hearings. I thank the Secretary of State for that positive response, and I thank her and the Prime Minister for meeting me and my constituent Cheryl Korbel, the mother of Olivia Pratt-Korbel, the nine-year-old who was tragically murdered in 2022. Cheryl is pleased that the Government have committed to implementing Olivia’s law without delay. Can the Minister ensure that Cheryl is involved in the development of this law, placing victims and their families at the heart of the justice system?
Context
The MP raised concerns about the impact of non-attendance at sentencing hearings on victims' families, referencing a specific case involving Cheryl Korbel's daughter who was murdered in 2022.
Shabana Mahmood (The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice)
I pay tribute to my hon. Friend for the work she is doing on behalf of her constituents. I was pleased to be able to discuss these matters with her. She is absolutely right, and it is crucial that we make progress in this area. We have committed to introducing that legislation before the summer, and I will, as I promised last week, consult Olivia’s family and the families of other victims for whom non-attendance at sentencing hearings has caused problems.

Following my visit to the Royal Mail delivery office in Huyton where I heard about serious safety concerns from posties due to problematic letterboxes, including injuries and increased risk of dog attacks, will the Minister meet me along with representatives from the Communication Workers Union and local posties to discuss these issues regarding new builds?
Context
Recently, postmen in Huyton reported serious problems with low-level letterboxes causing health issues and dog attacks. One suffered a severe injury from a dog attack.
Matthew Pennycook
Not least with a view to making myself the most popular Member of the House, I will happily do so. This includes meeting to discuss the safety concerns raised by Royal Mail staff in relation to low-level letterboxes and their impact on health and security.

Staff in non-academised sixth-form colleges are not being offered the same pay increase as staff in academised colleges. It is understood that a sum of money is available for post-16 education, but colleges have been left completely unclear about whether that sum will be enough to offset the national insurance increase or whether they will find, as universities have, that it is entirely eaten up by that increase. Will the Minister agree to publish the cost of the national insurance increase to sixth-form colleges, and if she will not publish it, why on earth not?
Context
Staff in non-academised sixth-form colleges are not being offered the same pay increase as staff in academised colleges. There is uncertainty about whether available funds will be sufficient to offset national insurance increases.
Janet Daby
I find it shocking that the shadow Minister has taken no responsibility for the many circumstances in which we have found ourselves having to make decisions that are in the best interests of students and colleges. We are conducting various reviews to try to ensure that we put right the mess that we inherited.

I associate myself with the tributes paid to John Prescott. Radio Merseyside has featured many stories about passengers who were fined because they bought train tickets in good faith, only to find out that they were wrong ones. My constituents find themselves being unfairly penalised or denied travel by Merseytravel for purchasing tickets online which they believed were correct. What steps is the Secretary of State taking with our mayor Steve Rotherham and other operators like Merseyrail to ensure passengers are not unfairly penalised and there is a clear and fair ticketing system?
Context
The question arises from the confusion and issues faced by passengers due to complex rail ticketing systems. Social media regularly highlights cases where passengers are wrongly prosecuted.
Louise Haigh
We are collaborating with mayors as we establish Great British Railways. I have requested an independent review of revenue protection practices by the Office of Rail and Road, involving devolved operators where appropriate. Addressing fare evasion is a priority, but we must always treat passengers fairly and appropriately.

Will the Law Officers meet me to discuss how we can join up the criminal justice system so that police and prosecutors work together better?
Context
The question highlights Knowsley's high number of domestic abuse deaths per capita and the low prosecution rates, leading to long-term delays for victims seeking charges against abusers.
Sarah Sackman
My hon. Friend is absolutely right to highlight the incredibly distressing figures. As I said before, the human stories that lie behind them will each tell a tragic tale, which is why tackling this issue is at the heart of this Government's agenda. I am happy to meet my hon. Friend and her local chief Crown prosecutor, Jonathan Storer, to discuss this serious issue and look at how we can improve joint working between the CPS and the police.

What steps are being taken to help increase prosecution rates for cases relating to violence against women and girls?
Context
The question addresses the need to increase prosecution rates following a lack of progress in tackling violence against women and girls.
Sarah Sackman
For too long, women and girls across the country have faced routine threats of appalling violence and abuse. This Government were elected with a clear mandate to halve violence against women and girls within a decade; that is what we will deliver, and it is something to which I am personally committed. In the early stages of that process, I have recently met both the Domestic Abuse Commissioner and the Victims' Commissioner to discuss how the Crown Prosecution Service can work closely with the police from the earliest point to build robust, victim-centred investigations that will drive improvements in conviction rates.

A Labour Government brought secure, well-paid working-class jobs to Knowsley with Ford Halewood. My dad getting a job there changed my family's life and lifted us out of poverty. It did the same for thousands of families like ours. Does the Secretary of State agree that any successful industrial strategy must provide good-quality, unionised jobs to lift living standards in areas such as mine?
Context
The MP references the impact of secure, well-paid jobs provided by Ford Halewood in Knowsley, which significantly improved living standards for many families.
Jonathan Reynolds
It is also a pleasure to welcome my hon. Friend to her place, and I thank her for those comments, with which I thoroughly agree. This is what it is all about—good work and good wages in every part of the country. I will work with anyone to deliver that. Her personal story shows the difference that such a policy can make.

Waste Crime: Knowsley
25 March 2026
Responding: Mary Creagh
Main Concerns
["I am concerned about the significant impact of waste crime in my constituency, particularly the 'Simonswood stink' and an illegal dump off the M57. The Simonswood site is causing health issues for residents, including nausea, headaches, respiratory problems, and even affecting children's education due to school closures. It has been described as a dumping ground with dust covering homes and cars. Additionally, an illegal waste site containing 15,000 to 20,000 tonnes of waste poses risks to businesses along the M57 and East Lancs Road."]
Specific Asks
['I ask the Minister to consider whether Knowsley can receive support similar to other areas cleaned up by Government intervention, ensure local authorities are not left with the bill for organised waste crime, implement earlier interventions to prevent such issues, and enforce consequences for criminals involved in waste dumping.']

- - Activity quantity doesn't measure quality or effectiveness of representation
- - Some MPs focus more on constituency work than parliamentary questions
- - Newly elected MPs will have less parliamentary history
