We are facing a severe housing situation with soaring mortgages, increasing rents, and an anticipated reduction in new constructions. Given the Prime Minister's acknowledgment of his decision to lower housing goals, will he explain why the preferences of 1,000 party members outweigh those of families hoping to become homeowners?

It has been reported that the Welsh Labour Government are providing £1,600 monthly to asylum seekers through taxpayers' money. Can my right hon. Friend assure me that our small boats Bill will not adopt this idea?

The Tory party chair claims that public services are well-managed. Has the Prime Minister encountered any member of the public who would agree with this assessment?

How can anyone think services are in good shape when people wait days for an ambulance, only one percent of rapists face trial, and a record number of boats cross the channel seeking asylum?

The problem is, Prime Minister, that Arie Ali's sentence ended up being suspended. Anyone watching this would wonder why someone who violently attacks a key worker is not behind bars. It took 16 months for him to be charged and two years before sentencing—completely unacceptable. Is he letting violent criminals go free due to the government's loss of control over court services?

I prosecuted thousands of sex offenders. The Prime Minister's misunderstanding of how the criminal justice system works is evident. No wonder he cannot fix it. In Arie Ali's case, a letter from the Justice Secretary about prison overcrowding contributed to suspending his sentence.

When I was in office as Director of Public Prosecution, those on the Benches opposite were my greatest supporters. In 2013, the Home Affairs Committee said: 'We would like to commend the work of the Director for Public Prosecution, Keir Starmer'.

Recently I presented a Prime Minister's Points of Light award to Joan Willett and two other Hastings and Rye residents were celebrated as community champions at No. 10. Will the Prime Minister join me in thanking all our fantastic volunteers and community champions, not only in Hastings and Rye but throughout the United Kingdom, and will he continue to bring them together in celebration?

Mr Speaker—[Interruption.] What we are talking about is the fact that this Government is not getting distracted by the things that are going on elsewhere; they are focused on delivering for the people of Scotland. The Prime Minister has been fined by the polis not once but twice, they take donations from Russian-backed donors and they have stuffed the House of Lords with people like Baroness Mone. But let us be clear: what we are talking about is the fact that the leader of the Scottish Conservatives believes that the people of Scotland should return Labour party Members of Parliament to this House rather than Scottish National party Members. So is not the message for the people of Scotland quite clear? Don't give the Tories what they want.

Let me be clear: we will take no lectures from a party that has not had a mandate to govern in Scotland since 1955, that went through three Prime Ministers in the course of just a matter of months, that crashed the economy, that sent mortgage rates soaring and that has taken energy support away from families most in need. The Prime Minister has been fined by the polis not once but twice, they take donations from Russian-backed donors and they have stuffed the House of Lords with people like Baroness Mone. But let us be clear: what we are talking about is the fact that the leader of the Scottish Conservatives believes that the people of Scotland should return Labour party Members of Parliament to this House rather than Scottish National party Members. So is not the message for the people of Scotland quite clear? Don't give the Tories what they want.

It seems clear that the junior doctors' strike is causing a serious risk of loss of life, and certainly causing harm and pain to thousands of our constituents. The first line of the Hippocratic oath is “First, do no harm”. When does the Prime Minister think the British Medical Association abandoned this central tenet of its profession?

Tooth decay is the No. 1 reason that children over the age of four end up in hospital. Regular dental check-ups could prevent it, but too many parents cannot get one for their child. In the East Riding of Yorkshire, there are now almost 3,000 people per NHS dentist. In places such as Herefordshire and Norfolk, fewer than two in five children have been seen by a dentist in the past year. This is a scandal, so will the Prime Minister take up the Liberal Democrat plan to end this crisis and make sure people can get an NHS dentist when they need one?

At Prime Minister's Question Time on 4 February 2015, David Cameron said he was determined to do whatever it took to fix the Dawlish railway line—the only route to the south-west. Phase 4 risks losing part of its agreed funding, while phase 5 has fallen foul of a 10-year moratorium on new funding. The line is only as resilient as its weakest link. Will the Prime Minister commit to getting this resilience programme back on track and fully funded?

This week, not only has my city of Dundee announced that its flights will connect with Heathrow but the Scottish Government have committed to Dundee being at the forefront of making Scotland a major world economy, bringing investment, jobs and opportunity. However, the UK Government seem to have a problem with this. Scotland's international engagement is to be reduced. Despite being paid for through Scotland's wealth and taxes, UK ambassadors and diplomats have been instructed to obstruct the Scottish Government's international engagement, with every foreign nation told not to deal with the Scottish Government directly. This has already been described as “smacking of a parent trying, and failing, to control a teenager.” Will the Prime Minister assure me and the businesses, the wealth creators and, most importantly, my constituents who want to see Dundee and Scotland prosper that, during this short time that Scotland remains in this unequal Union, Scotland will neither be put back in a box nor bend a knee?

On Saturday, I joined my 17-year-old constituent Alfie Ford in walking to raise funds for the National Autistic Society. Alfie's mission is to walk 15,000 steps every day in the month of April to raise awareness of autism and to show that every autistic person deserves the best chance in life. This Saturday, he is walking from Birmingham City football club to Edgbaston stadium and back again. Will the Prime Minister join me in wishing Alfie the very best for his walk, and for his noble mission to change for good how people think about autism?

My constituent Lisa and her civil service colleagues have worked tirelessly and with distinction during some of the most challenging times, but she is fed up with Ministers patting them on the back while imposing derisory 2% and, now, 4.5% pay rises, despite years of pay restraint and, now, double-digit inflation. She asks simply: “Why should I keep working for a UK government that treats its workers with such contempt?” Will the Prime Minister stop with the myths and excuses, and start negotiating a fair deal with the unions?

Does my right hon. Friend agree that those who seek to criticise the Conservative record on law and order should look in the mirror and ask, “Who was Director of Public Prosecutions for some of those years?”

My elderly constituent Anne has been in Turkey for five weeks now after her husband suffered a devastating brain bleed—he is now in intensive care. Their holiday insurance company, Staysure, has refused to pay medical bills and has so far refused to engage with me. This has resulted in Anne being stuck with extortionate medical bills and surgery costs, which she has covered by using their life savings. With finances now running out, they are both stranded and have been advised that they will need to find at least £50,000 to pay for an air ambulance to bring them home. Will the Prime Minister meet me to consider all possible options to support constituents such as Anne and her husband in difficult situations such as that, especially where insurance companies abdicate all responsibility?

Can I tell a tale of two councils? My constituents who live in Conservative-controlled Wychavon District Council have enjoyed six years of council tax freezes and excellent public services, while my constituents who live in the Malvern Hills District Council area, which is run by a rag-tag-bag of so-called independents and Greens, pay nearly 50% more in council tax for a band D property. Does the Prime Minister agree that the best thing my constituents can do on the cost of living is to vote Conservative on 4 May?

This week, the Women's Rights Network published a report by criminologist Professor Jo Phoenix called “When we are at our most vulnerable”. It revealed that there were 6,539 reported rapes and sexual assaults in UK hospital settings from January 2019 to October 2022. What can the Prime Minister and his Government do to ensure that all women, staff and patients are safe in Britain's hospitals?

On 2 June, Corwen station on the Llangollen steam railway will be officially reopened, having been closed 60 years ago under the Beeching axe. Will the Prime Minister join me in congratulating the volunteers, the local community and the funders who have made that possible, and take his own share of the credit for granting the levelling-up fund to Clwyd South when he was Chancellor, which has paid for the magnificent new roof on Corwen station?

Over recess, I was invited to visit one of the major supermarkets in my constituency to discuss food waste. What struck me most was the experience of shop workers on the frontline. They told me that they expect to suffer a violent assault every single day that they go to work. Although more maths might always be helpful, what is this out-of-touch Prime Minister doing to make sure that people can be safe in their workplace?

Leadership and teamwork delivered Bolton Wanderers a superb 4-0 victory in the Papa John's trophy match at Wembley. It is delivering the Bolton College of Medical Sciences and delivered Ayyub Patel's superb Rumworth by-election victory. What message does my right hon. Friend have for Councillor Patel and all the campaigners, candidates and activists, as we run into this festival of democracy, our local elections?

Last week, the Home Office announced that it would not be setting up a bespoke visa scheme for the fishing industry of the sort that is already available for people working in fish farms and in offshore wind farms. It also told skippers that crew previously employed by them under a temporary scheme had to stop working immediately. As a consequence of that announcement, in fishing ports around the coast today, many fishing boats are tied up unable to go to sea. What is the point of a sea of opportunity if they cannot get crew to fish in it?

Will the Prime Minister join me in thanking Lorna and Shirley of the Marios Tinenti Centre and the local churches in Loughborough for all their hard work in establishing a community allotment? Local people use the facility as a great place to get outdoors as well as to relax.
