Questions Asked by This MP
Parliamentary questions and government responses.
Response classifications show how directly each question was answered.
Q5. I have a follow-on question. The Prime Minister visited my constituency in 2022 and told families that“one of my first acts will be to put the Hillsborough law on the statute book.”He repeated the same promise at conference last year, saying that the Bill would be published on the anniversary in April. That did not happen. However, the Government are now planning to table a watered-down version that does not deserve to be named a “Hillsborough law”. After PMQs, my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool West Derby (Ian Byrne) will seek to introduce the real Hillsborough law. Can the Prime Minister finally honour his promise and back the law in full? If not, why not?
Paula Barker
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for raising this, and remember well the visit we had. This is a really serious issue, and it is important that we get it right. I am fully committed to introducing a Hillsborough law, including a legal duty of candour for public servants and criminal sanctions for those who refuse to comply. It is important that we get it right. I have been personally engaging with some of the families on this, because, as I say, I have seen at first hand what they have been through for over 10 years. I first met them when I was Director of Public Prosecutions and there was consideration of the order in which certain things would happen. That was actually about a different issue—it was about an issue of great concern to them—but my hon. Friend is right to raise this. We will bring this forward. I just want to take the time to get it right and then put it before the House.

Zoe's Place, in the West Derby area of Liverpool, is a hospice that provides support to sick children and their families. It has been threatened with closure and has to find £5 million by the end of the year. Does the Deputy Prime Minister agree that such hospices need to be on a statutory footing and not reliant on charitable funding?
Context
Zoe's Place, a hospice in Liverpool, faces closure threats due to funding issues.
Angela Rayner
The hospice situation in this country has faced significant challenges because of the 14 years of devastation under the Conservatives. The Health Secretary has already raised these issues and knows that this is of importance; I will make sure that my hon. Friend gets to meet him.
Assessment
Did not confirm support for statutory footing for hospices

Children and young adults are most likely to be the victims or perpetrators of knife crime. Ava White was 12 years old when she was stabbed and killed by a 14-year-old in Liverpool city centre in 2021. Danny Jamieson was 16 when he died as a result of knife crime. Their mothers, Leann and Mandy, are campaigning for tougher sentences for knife crime. Will the Prime Minister support the Danny and Ava campaign to end the scourge of knife crime on our streets?
Context
Ava White, a 12-year-old girl, was stabbed to death in Liverpool city centre by a 14-year-old perpetrator. Danny Jamieson, also 16 years old, died as a result of knife crime. Their mothers are campaigning for tougher sentences.
Rishi Sunak
I express my condolences to Danny and Ava's families, and the families of all the young people whose lives have been so tragically cut short by knife crime. We have plans in place to cut knife crime, and they are working—we have confiscated over 120,000 weapons, we have cut violent crime in half since 2010, and more dangerous criminals are going to jail for longer. We are bringing forward legislation to increase sentences for knife crime and to ban zombie knives, and I very much hope that the hon. Lady and her party will support those proposals when they are put before the House.

Will the Prime Minister commit to scrapping the two-child limit, lifting 250,000 children out of poverty, and meeting anti-poverty organisations?
Context
New data from the End Child Poverty coalition indicates that austerity measures have increased child poverty, particularly in working households.
Rishi Sunak
I gently point out to the hon. Lady that there are, in fact, 400,000 fewer children in absolute poverty than in 2010. We know that work is the best route out of poverty for families, so with employment at record levels, as we saw yesterday, I am pleased that there are now over 600,000 fewer children in workless households than in 2010.

Why does the Prime Minister not support universal free school meals for all children to help end child poverty?
Context
Despite the UK being one of the richest economies, there are still 4 million children living in poverty.
Rishi Sunak
Since 2010, there are 1.7 million fewer people living in poverty as a result of actions by this Government, including hundreds of thousands fewer children. The best way to ensure children do not grow up in poverty is to ensure they do not grow up in a workless household.

How is the Prime Minister challenging what Amnesty and other organisations refer to as an apartheid state regarding human rights violations against Palestinians?
Context
There has been an increase in human rights violations against Palestinian civilians since the election of a new Israeli Government.
Rishi Sunak
It is important to remain calm and urge all sides to strive for peace. The Prime Minister has had conversations with the Israeli Prime Minister on this matter.
Assessment
The specific human rights violations were not addressed; instead, a call for calm was made

Last week, hundreds of GMB gas engineers were sacked for refusing to sign new contracts expecting them to work harder and get paid less. Fire and rehire abuses by rogue employers are spreading through workplaces like a virus. The Government have called the practice “unacceptable” and “bully-boy tactics” but refuse to take action to ban it. I am giving the Prime Minister the chance to show us all where he stands. Will he commit, here and now, to include proposals to end this shameful and immoral practice of fire and rehire in next month's Queen's Speech—yes or no?
Context
Hundreds of GMB gas engineers were recently sacked for refusing to sign new contracts that would make them work harder for less pay. The Government have called the practice unacceptable but refuse to take action.
Boris Johnson
I repeat what I have said about that practice. If the hon. Lady would be kind enough to send me details about the case that she raises, I will be happy to take it up.

Liverpool is a welcoming city with the oldest Chinese community in Europe. However, in 1946, thousands of Chinese seamen living in Liverpool with their British families were forcibly returned to China by the government, causing lasting emotional trauma. Many descendants live in my constituency today. Will the Prime Minister take steps to acknowledge these events and provide a formal apology and justice?
Context
In 1946, the British government ordered forced repatriation of Chinese seamen in Liverpool to China, causing emotional trauma for many families.
Boris Johnson
I have happy memories of my own visits to Liverpool, and I can tell the hon. Member that we are certainly very grateful across the country to the Chinese community for their amazing contribution.

Barbaric targeting of Palestinian children by Israeli forces has received little media coverage. The UN report estimates IDF have killed over 20,000 children and injured over 44,000. Can the Minister give assurance that arms transferred through UK bases are not used to facilitate war crimes? When will she facilitate a full arms embargo?
Context
The UN Human Rights Council estimates that the IDF have killed over 20,000 children and injured more than 44,000.
Louise Jones
There has been an abhorrent loss of life; children must never be victims of war. We have already suspended licences for Israel where items might be used in military operations in Gaza.

The Government's relentless clampdown on the right to protest has been disgraceful. The High Court ruling that the proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful is a victory for civil liberties. Does the Minister agree that our justice system is weaponised against legitimate protests, and this assault on fundamental rights has failed?
Context
The Government's measures restricting the right to protest have been criticised, including the proscription of Palestine Action being ruled unlawful by the High Court.
Jake Richards
No, I do not agree. The Home Secretary will appeal the judgment. We are clear that peaceful protest rights should be protected but balanced with law enforcement.

I welcome the Minister's response. The RFA does play a very important role in the maritime sector. I welcome the Government's progress in addressing the declining numbers in the RFA, but there is still a long way to go. MOD figures show that RFA seafarer numbers are still 12% lower than in 2019. Improving the pay and conditions of the RFA civilian seafarers is not only the right thing to do but essential to resolving the recruitment and retention crisis caused by the previous Government's hostility towards public sector workers. Will the Minister commit to revisiting discussions with the Treasury if the current pay offer is rejected by RFA officers and ratings, particularly if they are drawn into the conflict in the middle east?
Context
RFA seafarer numbers are still 12% lower than in 2019, and the pay offer has not been accepted by the RFA officers and ratings. The current pay dispute may impact the RFA's readiness if they are drawn into a conflict.
Louise Jones
We are continuing close and productive conversations across Government and with the maritime trade unions, so it would not be appropriate for me to comment on ongoing negotiations. However, as I have said, this Labour Government recognise the extraordinary contribution and unique role of the highly skilled personnel of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.

When will the biggest wave of insourcing promised in the manifesto happen and when will the Government stop rewarding failure by issuing contracts to outsourcing companies?
Context
The manifesto promised the biggest wave of insourcing for a generation. Capita will not fix pension issues until June and has been awarded a payroll contract for a quarter of a million workers.
Satvir Kaur
I understand my hon. Friend's frustration. She will know that the contract was awarded under the previous Government in 2023. I reassure her that existing key performance indicators have been enhanced and strengthened to deliver tighter performance expectations, with higher penalties for severe failures. Those have already been applied to recent issues and delays in Capita's administration of the civil service pension scheme.

As a member of the National Union of Journalists parliamentary group, I know it is vital to protect journalists. Sadly, hundreds of Palestinian journalists have been slaughtered during the Gazan genocide. As Britain is the co-chair of the Media Freedom Coalition, will the Minister explain what steps the Government have taken to safeguard journalists on the ground in the middle east, and can he encourage international Governments, including Israel, to allow the global media to do their job and enable journalists to be protected, not pay the price of war?
Context
Hundreds of Palestinian journalists have been killed during the Gaza conflict, prompting questions about the UK's role in protecting journalists.
Chris Elmore
We take this extremely seriously. Journalists on frontlines across the world are often how we find out where atrocities have taken place. Tomorrow I am hosting a Media Freedoms Coalition discussion, and I reassure my hon. Friend that this will always remain a priority for the UK Government.

It has been 10 years since the Jogee ruling on joint enterprise, and I would like to pay tribute to the Joint Enterprise Not Guilty by Association campaigners, who are in the Gallery today, for the amazing work they have done in this area. However, new Crown Prosecution Service data identifies continued racial disproportionality, with more black defendants swept into group convictions, so can the Justice Secretary confirm that meaningful law reform remains a priority and assure campaigners that this is not going to be a broken promise?
Context
Referring to the Jogee ruling on joint enterprise, Kim Johnson highlights continued racial disproportionality in group convictions under this law.
The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice (Mr David Lammy)
First, I pay tribute to my hon. Friend for continuing to champion this issue, and I also pay tribute to the work of JENGbA. I have met the chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission—which has referred, I think, three cases to the Court of Appeal—to look closely at the issue. I am of course taking an interest in this issue, and I look forward to meeting campaigners in the coming months to discuss what more we may be able to do.

Liverpool’s hospitality sector and its small businesses continue to tell me that soaring business rates are pushing them to the brink. Many independent shops, cafés and community venues—pillars of our local high streets—are now facing increases far above what they can absorb, especially in energy and supply costs. These are businesses that create local jobs, drive footfall and keep our high streets alive, so can the Minister explain what immediate steps the Government will take to reform the business rates system so that it no longer disproportionately penalises areas such as Liverpool, and will she commit to meet affected business owners in my constituency to hear directly about the pressures they are facing and the urgent support they need to survive?
Context
Kim Johnson noted that Liverpool’s small businesses, including independent shops and cafes, are facing soaring business rates. She stated these increases far exceed what businesses can absorb, especially considering rising energy and supply costs.
Kate Dearden
We are introducing new, permanently lower tax rates for eligible retail, hospitality and leisure properties worth nearly £1 billion per year, which will benefit over 750,000 properties. Next year, the rate for small RHL properties will be the lowest since business rates were introduced more than 30 years ago. This is paid for through higher rates on the 1% most expensive properties, which includes many large distribution warehouses such as those used by online giants—that high value multiplier is 33% more than the multiplier for small RHL properties. That is what we committed to in our manifesto. Creating a new, sustainable system with permanently lower multipliers for eligible retail, hospitality and leisure properties will make a massive difference for people. We will be publishing a call for evidence in September, exploring potential longer-term reforms, and I urge my hon. Friend to get involved in that call for evidence and to share it, too.

Last week, I met Paula, Dougie and Ash in my constituency at Tom Harrison House, the only facility in the country offering support to veterans who have addictions. Will the Minister meet me and workers from that organisation to discuss whether statutory funding could help us to offer such support to more veterans?
Context
Tom Harrison House in Liverpool is the only facility offering support to veterans with addictions.
The Minister for Veterans and People (Louise Sandher-Jones)
I thank my hon. Friend for highlighting the important work of Tom Harrison House. I have heard many times of the unique nature of the support that it provides. We must support veterans in using that particular service, and see what we can do to further such support. I would be more than happy to visit.

In July 2024, the International Court of Justice ruled in its advisory opinion that Israeli settlements and occupation are illegal and needed to be ended and dismantled retrospectively. Can the Minister explain why the UK Government still have not responded to the advisory opinion after 17 months?
Context
The ICJ ruled in July 2024 that Israeli settlements and occupation are illegal, but the UK has not yet responded officially.
Hamish Falconer
The advisory opinion is an important piece of international legal opinion, so we are taking our time and ensuring that we have an adequate response. But I remind my hon. Friend that it is not like nothing has happened over the course of those 17 months: we have recognised the Palestinian state. That is absolutely central in the deliberations of the advisory opinion, and we have done many other things, too, as have been discussed over the course of this session.

I really welcome the Government’s increasing funding for SEND. However, almost 8,000 children in Liverpool now require an EHCP. The number has doubled over the past three years, with many parents struggling to find a school place that meets the needs of their child. Can the Minister please provide assurances to the Liverpool Parents and Carers Forum that the plan in the Budget to move the financial responsibility for SEND from local authorities to the Department for Education will be given the funding it needs to provide support to children who need it, including for earlier intervention, adequate specialist places and inclusive mainstream support?

Since its success as European capital of culture in 2008, Liverpool has played a key role in the UK’s creative industries. Does my right hon. Friend agree that success should not only be measured in economic terms, and can she explain how social value and tackling the under-representation of groups should be used as a measure of success by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport?
Context
Since its success as European capital of culture, Liverpool has played a key role in the UK’s creative industries.
Lisa Nandy (Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport)
As, I think, the first black MP ever to represent Liverpool, my hon. Friend’s achievement is absolutely noted in this House. The way in which she has carried that work forward into this House, to ensure that she may be the first, but she certainly will not be the last, and that the voices of all people will be heard, is something that I deeply admire, and I know many other Members feel the same. My hon. Friend is right to say that the vibrancy of the Liverpool city region has always been built on the most diverse range of music, voices and experiences.

Royal Artillery Gunner Jaysley Beck committed suicide after being sexually assaulted and failed by the military. Can the Minister explain what is being done to ensure that women serving in our armed forces are protected from abuse and that complaints are handled with independence, compassion and the seriousness that they deserve?
Context
A case involving Royal Artillery Gunner Jaysley Beck, who committed suicide after being sexually assaulted and failed by the military, highlights the need for better protection and independent handling of complaints.
The Minister for Veterans and People (Louise Sandher-Jones)
My hon. Friend raises an important case, and I am sure that everybody who read the report into Jaysley-Louise Beck’s death would agree that it was a hugely tragic and deeply saddening case. There is a duty on me—one which I feel very deeply—to make sure that we do everything we can to address the behaviours my hon. Friend mentioned. The Raising our Standards programme is addressing cultural behaviours to strengthen leadership and ensure that when complaints like this are made they are dealt with appropriately. We are also establishing an Armed Forces Commissioner to make sure that where any investigation into these types of behaviours is taken out, we can have full trust in the service to do right by any service personnel, whether they are at the lowest ranks or the highest.

Although Liverpool has improved waiting times for EHCPs, there remains a shortage of specialist school places and necessary support. Some 8,000 children in Liverpool now require an EHCP—that figure has doubled over the past three years—but almost half of them are educated in mainstream schools that do not meet their needs. What steps will the Government take to ensure that SEND reforms deliver real improvements for families in Liverpool Riverside?
Context
Despite improvements, Liverpool still faces a shortage of specialist school places and necessary support for children with special educational needs. The number of children requiring EHCPs has doubled over the past three years.
The Minister for School Standards (Georgia Gould)
Where there are concerns about a local authority’s capacity to make improvements, we will help them to identify barriers and put in place an effective recovery plan. This year’s high needs funding increase will help mainstream and special schools with the cost of supporting pupils.

Liverpool is a university city, and I have three universities in my constituency. Liverpool city council is estimated to lose £9 million in council tax revenue each year due to student exemptions. Will the Minister explain when and how those anomalies will be dealt with, so that the council does not lose that amount of funding every year?
Context
Liverpool city council is estimated to lose £9 million in council tax revenue each year due to student exemptions. There are 245,000 student exempt dwellings and 77,000 halls of residence nationally.
The Minister for Local Government and English Devolution (Jim McMahon)
The fair funding review 2.0 is out to consultation, and we welcome contributions from Members, local authorities, and others. At heart, we want to fully account for the ability of an area to raise income locally. Nationally, there are 245,000 student exempt dwellings and 77,000 halls of residence. It is quite right that we take that into account when we assess how much council tax can be raised locally.

I thank my hon. Friend for his response. However, 82% of prisons and young offenders institutions have been rated as “requires improvement” or “inadequate” by Ofsted on education, skills and work provision. Despite that, the prison education service still outsources the same poorly performing contracts to poorly performing providers, and prison educators are paid less than educators in further education settings, causing a crisis in recruitment and retention, according to the Education Committee. When will we see the greatest insourcing in a generation, and will the Minister consider insourcing prison education with proper pay, terms and conditions for prison educators?
Context
82% of prisons and young offenders institutions have been rated as “requires improvement” or “inadequate” by Ofsted on education, skills and work provision. The prison education service still outsources to poorly performing providers despite this.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice (Sir Nicholas Dakin)
All options are on the table. His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service introduced a head of education, skills and work into every prison to ensure that, across the estate, a senior member of prison staff is responsible for improving the quality of education provision. My hon. Friend is right to draw attention to Ofsted reports, but there has been an increase in the overall number of “good” ratings achieved through the inspections. This is work in progress. We need to do better, as she says, and that is what we are determined to do.

Everton, in my constituency, is the most deprived area in the country, and residents have received a double blow as a result of the imminent closure of Lloyds Bank and the planned closure of the Crown post office. Will the Minister agree to meet me to discuss those closures and the desperate need for a banking hub in the area?

Liverpool City Region combined authority will receive £900 million from the UK shared prosperity fund to invest in local communities. However, Everton, a part of Kim Johnson's constituency, is the most deprived area in the country and faces challenges due to the closure of Lloyds Bank and Crown post office.
Darren Jones (Chief Secretary to the Treasury)
The closure of banking services on our high streets is always a difficult decision. The Government are committed to championing access by rolling out banking hubs across the country. We are committed to delivering 350 of those hubs, and 220 have already been announced. The closure of the post office that my hon. Friend mentions will trigger a further cash access assessment for her constituency. I would be pleased to arrange a meeting for her with the relevant Minister to look at the options for her constituency.

Far too many children with complex learning disabilities and autism have been failed by the system and end up having a place not in their local community, but in institutions. That disproportionately affects black children, which is synonymous with the ’60s and ’70s when they were classified as “educationally subnormal”. Will the Minister explain what work is being done to identify the number of children who have been institutionalised? What work has been undertaken to review and amend those situations?

The MP raises concerns about institutionalisation of children with complex learning disabilities and autism, particularly affecting black children.
The Minister for School Standards (Catherine McKinnell)
I know that this issue is important to my hon. Friend. She has, quite rightly, been raising it through a number of avenues.

The prison maintenance contract is set to be retendered to the private sector next year. Prisons like Walton in Liverpool struggle with basic repairs, and there is £1.8 billion of unreported repairs within the system. Privatisation leads to higher costs and increased squalor. Can the Minister or Secretary of State call time on this failed experiment and bring prison maintenance back in-house where it belongs?
Context
A prison maintenance contract is set for retendering to the private sector next year. Issues such as unreported repairs and higher costs are cited.

I welcome my hon. Friend's response, but facial recognition technology is being used by the police in publicly accessible places, and it breaches human rights and discriminates disproportionately against black people. The previous Government failed to introduce legislation to restrict its use, so can my hon. Friend confirm when there will be legislation to protect us? Will he meet me and representatives of civil liberties organisations to discuss this matter further?
Context
The question addresses the use of facial recognition technology by police forces and its potential impact on privacy rights. The previous government did not introduce legislation to restrict its use.
Dan Jarvis
I understand that the National Physical Laboratory has independently tested the algorithms that the police have been using in live facial recognition cases and has found them to be highly accurate. It found no statistically significant differences based on ethnicity at the settings the police generally use. It is extremely important that any new technology used by the police is accompanied by strong safeguards, including to prevent bias or disproportionality, and that a robust legal framework is in place to govern the use of these new technologies.

If she will make an assessment of the potential merits of bringing forward legislative proposals to protect the right to privacy from live facial recognition surveillance.
Context
The question addresses the use of facial recognition technology by police forces and its potential impact on privacy rights. The previous government did not introduce legislation to restrict its use.
Dan Jarvis
Facial recognition technology is being used effectively by police forces to identify suspects more quickly and accurately but, of course, it is essential that any new technologies are accompanied by strong safeguards and are underpinned by a robust legal framework. This Government will give careful consideration to the overall impact of all new policing technology.

The outsourcing of facility management services roles such as cleaning, catering and security has disproportionately impacted women and black workers. The Government have promised to bring about the biggest wave of insourcing of public services in a generation. With this promise, will the Minister agree to examine the benefits of insourcing facilities management services, particularly with regard to performance and tackling discriminatory outcomes on pay? Will she meet representatives of the Public and Commercial Services Union to discuss this matter further?
Context
The MP is concerned about the impact of outsourcing on women and black workers, with a reduction in pay and terms.
Ellie Reeves
Under the previous Government, too many jobs such as cleaning and security were insecure with a race to the bottom on standards and pay. Our plan will ensure all jobs are secure, fulfilling and well-paid. We would introduce an equality Bill to enshrine equal pay for ethnic minorities and disabled people.

Whether he plans to increase the number of facilities management services that are insourced within Government Departments and agencies. The outsourcing of facility management services roles such as cleaning, catering and security has disproportionately impacted women and black workers, who have suffered a reduction in their pay, terms and conditions. With this situation, will the Minister agree to examine the benefits of insourcing facilities management services particularly with regard to performance and tackling discriminatory outcomes on pay?
Context
The MP is concerned about the number of facilities management services outsourced by government departments, which affects workforce conditions and value for money.
Ellie Reeves
The Government will secure value for money in meeting their facilities management requirements. Decisions on outsourcing will be based on robust assessments of social value, service quality, and delivering the best outcomes. The new deal for working people will ensure that jobs are secure, fulfilling and well-paid. We would also introduce an equality Bill to enshrine the right to equal pay for ethnic minorities and disabled people.

Can the Minister say what, if any, lessons he is taking from that very positive initiative, in particular to increase representation in respect of ethnic diversity?
Context
The Institute of Cancer Research's apprenticeship scheme is noted as a positive initiative for increasing representation.
Andrew Griffith
I congratulate the Institute of Cancer Research on that progress. I would be delighted to meet the institute and hear what development it is making, as would my hon. Friends. This Government have increased the number of apprenticeships. Unfortunately, under the Opposition's proposals the number of apprenticeships would halve.
Session: STEM Workforce Diversity and Inclusion

What steps her Department is taking to help increase diversity and inclusion in the STEM workforce?
Context
The question arises from the need to address diversity issues within the STEM sector.
Andrew Griffith
The science and technology framework sets out our commitment to expanding STEM opportunities to the most diverse range of people possible. We have acted swiftly to identify and dismantle any barriers to entry, leading to major improvements in recent years.

Black students studying science, technology, engineering and maths subjects are leaving education in great numbers. What is the Minister doing to identify the challenges and help the progression of black students in STEM subjects?
Context
The questioner notes that black students studying STEM subjects are leaving education in great numbers and asks what is being done to help their progression.
Andrew Griffith
The Government are absolutely committed to expanding STEM opportunities. A key way of doing that is building mathematical capabilities and helping girls and minorities to stick with maths, which is why the Prime Minister has announced our ambition to see all young people receive maths education until they are 18.

In Essex, the police, fire and crime commissioner Roger Hirst has used the safer streets money to pay for CCTV and safety measures in the Bunny Walks, to pay for safety improvements around Chelmsford Prison to keep residents safe, and more recently for CCTV cameras in Central Park and the Avenues and extra safety measures around the cathedral. Despite all this the local Lib Dems want to take credit for all of Roger's work, so will the Home Secretary pop down to Chelmsford to come and see me and Roger and make sure we say thank you to Roger for all he has done with this Government money to keep people safe?
Context
The MP highlighted Roger Hirst's work in Essex, using the safer streets money for various safety improvements and measures. The local Lib Dems want to take credit for these efforts.
Laura Farris
I thank my right hon. Friend for her question. She is correct. Roger Hirst has an exceptional track record as a police and crime commissioner. He has done outstanding work driving down antisocial behaviour and domestic burglary and the examples she gives are exactly what the safer streets fund is for: bespoke, local, dedicated services that will improve public protection. I know that Essex police have higher numbers than at any point in their 185-year history, and I will certainly urge the Home Secretary to pay them a visit at the next available opportunity.
Session: Safer Streets Fund
View All Questions -->
I do not think the Minister answered the question about the impact of the reduction. Merseyside has now received a combined reduction of £180,000 to our safer streets fund in round 5. Our police and crime commissioner, Emily Spurrell, has called this “ill-considered and short-sighted” because projects have already begun and delivery is under way, but the funding has been restricted yet again. So will the Minister agree today to reinstate the lost funding, so that Merseyside police and others can continue their great work, keeping our streets safe?
Context
The MP expressed concern over the reduction of £180,000 in Merseyside's safer streets fund, citing a call from the police and crime commissioner describing this cut as ill-considered and short-sighted. Previous rounds saw significant investment.
Laura Farris
May I just gently tell the hon. Lady that, in the last round of funding, round 4, Merseyside received £1.3 million through the safer streets fund— that was quadruple what it had received in round 3—and over half a million of that was designated specifically to CCTV and street lighting in Liverpool city centre? Round 5 should be seen in the context of record funding to the Merseyside police, who received an unprecedented uplift of £27.6 million—a 6.5% uplift. I am confident that Merseyside will still be able to deliver its schemes, including the safe home cards providing safe transport to help women get home from nightspots, in this round.
Session: Safer Streets Fund

I have heard what Ministers have said this morning, and I must be living in an alternative universe. Liverpool has some of the most deprived wards in the country, which have experienced poverty and destitution over the past 14 years as a result of austerity. Some 300,000 people have accessed the household support fund, and while we are a resilient city and will continue to support those households, can the Minister explain what safety net will be put in place to support those in poverty and destitution when the household support fund ends in six months' time?
Context
The MP highlights the high level of poverty and destitution in Liverpool, citing figures on household support fund access.
Gareth Davies
The hon. Lady is right to highlight the fact that we have extended the household support fund for the most vulnerable. That is on the back of £96 billion of support during the energy crisis and nearly £400 billion of support through the global pandemic. I would just point out to the hon. Lady that the fundamental difference between Conservative Members and Labour Members is that we believe the best route out of poverty is through work, and our party is increasing employment.
Session: Regional Economic Inequalities
View All Questions -->
What recent fiscal steps he has taken to help reduce the level of economic inequality between the north and south of England?
Context
The MP is concerned about the economic disparity between the north and south of England.
Gareth Davies
The Government continue to tackle regional economic inequalities and level up the United Kingdom. The Government are empowering local leaders through a range of devolution deals, regenerating places across the country and investing in vital infrastructure.
Session: Regional Economic Inequalities

I welcome that response, but the Minister will know that Manchester Metropolitan University has recently carried out some research into the cost of prosecuting under joint enterprise. Some £250 million is spent processing joint enterprises cases, and an extra £1.2 billion is spent incarcerating the just over 1,000 people who are convicted. Those are eye-watering amounts of money, so does the Minister agree that we need to review the doctrine of joint enterprise to ensure that only those who are responsible for significant contribution to a crime are punished for it?
Context
Manchester Metropolitan University research indicates £250 million spent on prosecuting under joint enterprise and an additional £1.2 billion on incarcerating over 1,000 people convicted.
Gareth Bacon
There is a cost to justice. People who are found guilty of crime based on the evidence presented to a court of law have been sentenced, and there is a cost to their incarceration. Simply put, the cost of incarcerating people is not a reason to review the law.
Session: Joint Enterprise Cost of Judicial Processes

If he will make an estimate of the cost to the public purse of judicial processes under joint enterprise relating to violent crimes in each year since 2014.
Context
Kim Johnson asks about the cost to the public purse of judicial processes involving joint enterprise for violent crimes since 2014.
Gareth Bacon
Although the Ministry of Justice collates statistics nationally on the principal criminal offence for which a perpetrator is prosecuted, convicted or sentenced, including data on their ethnicity, it does not collate data on whether the crime that they committed was part of joint enterprise, so unfortunately I am unable to provide the information that the hon. Lady requests. However, we are considering whether such data could be collected as part of the common platform programme.

I have been informed by Savera UK, which is based in my constituency, that this Government has failed to provide a statutory definition of so-called honour-based abuse. They are concerned about under-reporting and lack of detail on the scale of the problem.
Context
The question follows a discussion on steps taken to tackle honour-based abuse, focusing on the lack of statutory definition.
Laura Farris
I meet the Domestic Abuse Commissioner regularly, our last joint visit was to a refuge for minoritised women where honour-based abuse was an issue. The Home Office looks at specific harms connected with this and is proud of its forced marriage unit which has provided support services to more than 300 cases in the past year. A national honour-based abuse helpline, funded by the Government, has helped over 2,500 people in the last 12 months.
Session: Domestic Abuse
View All Questions -->
I have been informed by Savera UK, which is based in my constituency, and the Domestic Abuse Commissioner that this Government has failed to provide a statutory definition of so-called honour-based abuse. They are concerned that without such a definition, there will be under-reporting and a lack of detail on the scale of the problem.
Context
Savera UK, an organisation based in Liverpool Riverside constituency, and the Domestic Abuse Commissioner are concerned about the lack of a statutory definition for honour-based abuse, leading to under-reporting.
Laura Farris
The Government take the opposite view. They use the expression honour-based abuse, which has been controversial in itself, because often victims understand it the best. Victims of honour-based abuse are often the hardest to reach and sometimes are the least able to articulate their claims and to escape their circumstance. The Government keep the definition wide to capture successfully all the various insidious forms that it takes.
Session: Domestic Abuse
View All Questions -->
Does the Attorney General agree that a key priority for the CPS must be fixing the flawed way that joint enterprise laws are used, and does she agree that no one should ever be convicted of a crime that they made no significant contribution to?
Context
There are concerns about joint enterprise laws being used in a flawed manner.
Victoria Prentis
I know the hon. Lady is a long- time campaigner on joint enterprise, and I also know that the Lord Chancellor, my dear friend in this place, has also considered such matters very carefully.

Two-child Benefit Cap and Child Poverty
11 July 2023
Responding: Guy Opperman
Main Concerns
['The two-child benefit cap has resulted in an increase in child poverty, particularly affecting larger families, Black and ethnic minority families, single-parent families, and those who rent. In Liverpool Riverside, 11 children out of every 30 are living in poverty, with many more ineligible for extra support due to the cap. Kim Johnson cited statistics from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation showing that child poverty rates among larger families increased significantly between 2012-13 and 2019-20. The policy has forced some women to disclose traumatic personal details to receive support, leading to severe psychological impacts. Families affected by the cap are losing an average of £3,235 annually.']
Specific Asks
["Johnson urges the Government to lift the two-child benefit cap immediately to raise 1.1 million children out of poverty at a cost of just £1.3 billion. She calls for enhanced workers' rights to ensure that work pays enough to live and raise a family, advocating for universal free school meals to alleviate child poverty."]
Arms Trade: Yemen
20 April 2021
Responding: Greg Hands
Main Concerns
["Kim Johnson is concerned about the UK's role in supplying arms to Saudi Arabia and its coalition allies, which have repeatedly been proven to violate international law. She highlighted that nearly a quarter of a million people have been killed by conflict since the war began six years ago, with over £6 billion worth of UK arms export licences issued to Saudi Arabia during this period. Johnson also pointed out the severe humanitarian crisis in Yemen, where 80% of the population needs assistance, and 50,000 face famine conditions."]
Specific Asks
['Johnson urges the Government to commit significant aid to alleviate the humanitarian crisis and ban arms exports to the Saudi-led coalition.']

- - 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
