If he will make a statement on his departmental responsibilities. This year, the Home Office has seen significant progress in various areas such as reducing small boat crossings and arresting people smugglers. The questioner seeks an update on these initiatives.

Now that we have the Home Secretary here to answer for himself, can he tell us whether he is aware that the police are receiving more than 560 reports of spiking every month, and in December the Home Office said that the reason the crime is so prevalent is that it is seen as funny and a joke? How can we have any confidence in the Home Secretary to deliver action on spiking when he thinks it is a joke?

I am sure the Home Secretary would agree that anti-extremism training in Departments is extremely important. What more can the Government do to ensure that it is training to tackle extremism, rather than anti-Government and party bias training?

We welcome the proscription of Hizb ut-Tahrir. Five more lives were tragically lost in the channel this weekend. As criminal gangs profit from those dangerous boat crossings, it shows how vital it is to stop them, but we need the Home Office to have a grip. The Home Secretary gave no answer earlier on the 4,000 people he has lost from the Rwanda list. Can he tell us if he has also lost the 35,000 people he has removed from the asylum backlog? How many of them are still in the country?

Returns have dropped 50% since the last Labour Government. The Home Secretary is still not telling us where those missing people are. He appears to have lost thousands of people who may have no right to be in the country, and lost any grip at all. In the ongoing Tory asylum chaos, we have Cabinet Ministers, countless ex-Ministers and the deputy Tory chair all saying that they will oppose the Home Secretary's policy this week—a policy that we know he and the Prime Minister do not even believe in. If the deputy Tory chair this week votes against the Home Secretary's policy, will he be sacked, or is the Prime Minister so weak that he has lost control of asylum, lost control of our borders, and lost control of his own party, too?

The British people welcome people who come to this country to work and contribute to our economy. But those who abuse our hospitality, commit violent offences and are then sent to prison need to be deported at the end of their sentences. Will my right hon. and learned Friend update the House on how many were deported last year, and what action he will take to ensure that foreign nationals who are violent offenders are automatically deported when they leave prison?

My constituents often have to wait months to elicit a response for their asylum or Home Office queries. Given the Conservative Government's persistent failure to effectively manage the asylum system, resulting in a backlog of almost 100,000 cases and the excessive use of expensive hotels, does the Home Secretary not feel that now is the time to adopt Labour's comprehensive plan, which would end the use of expensive hotels within 12 months and significantly reduce the backlog?

Humber-side police now has over 800 more officers than in 2010. Does the Minister agree that top-class leadership is important for this progress? What is he doing to ensure improvements are made to the present leadership training scheme?

On October 17th, the Government pledged changes to the Afghan citizens resettlement scheme pathways 1 and 3. When can the House expect an update and a plan?

Falmouth received £67,000 from the safer streets fund. How will these positive changes improve conviction rates in Devon and Cornwall?

95% of skilled worker visas gained last year would be lost under new regulations. When will the Government recognise this and adjust the salary level?

What steps are being taken to provide advice to police forces regarding support for communities amid the conflict?

How many times must a demonstration be repeated before organisers become liable for some policing costs?

Will the Home Secretary meet to discuss why the Public Order Act is now under review, and can he meet urgently before the January 22nd deadline?

Last week, the Home Secretary produced a report on safe and legal routes to comply with section 61 of the Illegal Migration Act 2023. It is very long and generous on the existing legal routes, but can he tell me how my 16-year-old orphan from an east African country with links to the UK, who is a genuine asylum seeker, will be helped to come legally and safely to the UK by what the Government have published so far?
