The hon. Gentleman is right to quote what the Prime Minister said, and I take it as an article of personal faith that we behave with absolute integrity and accountability. On hearing two complaints had been made against me—I believe they were made yesterday; I was notified this morning—I asked the Prime Minister to set up an independent investigation.

At this important time of year, I join her in what she has said about the Sikh community making an outstanding contribution to her constituency and to the whole country through organisations like the Midland Langar Seva Society and the Guru Har Rai Gurdwara.

I entirely agree with what she said. President Putin started this war and whatever determination is made regarding yesterday's events, they result from the unlawful aggression perpetrated by the Russian Government.

We are making sure people come to this country to create jobs and generate tax revenue. The Prime Minister led the charge with the G7 presidency on international minimum corporate tax rules, reducing the tax gap under this Government compared to Labour.

Unemployment remains at a 50-year low, half the level left by Labour. The IMF says we will have the strongest G7 growth.

I received notification this morning and immediately asked the Prime Minister to set up an independent inquiry into the complaints. I am confident that I behaved professionally throughout, but of course I will engage thoroughly.

The recruitment of the new ethics adviser is already under way and taking place at pace. The British people want a Government who can deal with the real challenges, and Labour Members are not up to it.

The recruitment of the new ethics adviser is already under way and taking place at pace.

I thank my hon. Friend, and congratulate her and Hope House Children's Hospice on the amazing work they do. I have been working very closely with Shooting Star Children's Hospices, a similar organisation in my constituency.

May I thank the hon. Lady for what she said about both Poland and the importance of our solidarity with the international community against the appalling illegal invasion by Russia of Ukraine? Inflation is clearly a problem. We have a plan to grip inflation, to balance the books and to drive economic growth.

The hon. Lady will know that we are facing challenges that are faced all around the world, because of covid and the war in Ukraine. We have seen rising inflation in Germany, the eurozone and the US. The reality is that this Prime Minister and this Chancellor have a plan—more detail will be set out in the autumn statement—but of course, the UK Government will continue to work collaboratively with the Scottish Government to safeguard and protect the most vulnerable right across the United Kingdom.

I thank my hon. Friend for her campaigning on this. Yes, we will of course continue to monitor the condition of Belper Mills and the planning applications. The best I can say is that we strongly encourage all the local bodies—whether it is the council or the applicant—to continue to work together because, above all, her constituents will want to continue to celebrate the proud and rich tradition represented by Belper.

I thank the right hon. Gentleman. What he said about securing Northern Ireland's place within the constitutional and economic integrity of the UK is absolutely vital. The Prime Minister has been very clear on that, as has the Foreign Secretary. Of course, the Chancellor will say more tomorrow on the economic measures and, in particular, on the fiscal measures that the right hon. Gentleman referred to.

I totally agree that we need to strain every sinew to stop this appalling trade in misery. There is no silver bullet, although I think the agreement the Home Secretary made with her French opposite number will help, and we are embedding UK officials with their French counterparts for the first time. My right hon. Friend the Member for Gainsborough (Sir Edward Leigh) is right to say that the Bill of Rights can also help, not least in preventing interim orders from the Strasbourg Court from being recognised in UK courts. On ID cards, we already have e-visas for people coming to visit and live in the UK, and they act as digital evidence of a person's immigration status. What is clear, however, is that we will have to do all these things in the teeth of opposition from Labour Front Benchers.

We are very sympathetic to the challenges that all our schools face. More will be said about specific measures tomorrow, but the hon. Lady should stand assured that we are the top spenders as a percentage of GDP on primary and secondary education in the G7, and that standards, which matter to pupils and parents the most, have increased, with the proportion of schools rated good or outstanding up from 68% in 2010 to 87% today.

My hon. Friend is a fantastic champion for Torbay. The Chancellor will make a statement tomorrow and I cannot speculate on the spending decisions, but my hon. Friend will have noticed already the tourism recovery plan, which will help recovery from the pandemic and is also part of the wider levelling-up agenda.

As a former Housing Minister, I know how important these issues are. I can tell the hon. Lady that the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities is looking very carefully at the situation of renters and landlords, and legislation is to be brought forward shortly.

I thank my hon. Friend for being a doughty champion and highlighting Mikey's campaign. All children and young people should receive the support they need to make the very best of all their talents and potential. I will certainly make sure that he gets a meeting with the relevant Minister.

The hon. Gentleman is referring to an employment dispute that was settled before I entered the House. It involved a confidentiality clause, which was standard at the time.

My hon. Friend is absolutely right about the brilliant work that Education Cannot Wait does. We will look at what more we can do to support that work, particularly for children growing up in refugee camps.

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities is looking at all such matters. He will have heard what the hon. Lady has said and he will write to her to address her specific proposals.

My right hon. Friend makes his point in his usual inimitable way. I think it is important that we all take responsibility for our actions.

I thank the hon. Lady, who has been a consistent champion on this issue, for which I recognise and pay tribute to her. The information is available to veterans and their families. If the hon. Lady writes to me, she will get an adequate answer.

My right hon. friend is absolutely right. We should be grateful to all those who participated in the British nuclear testing programme. Officials have been asked to look again at recognition with medals, and recommendations will be announced in the usual way.

I can tell the hon. Lady that our £96 billion integrated rail plan will make Northern Powerhouse Rail a reality. We are committed to the project; the precise details will be set out in due course.

My hon. Friend is absolutely right to raise this issue. I cannot tell him the precise read-out from the meeting—I have not seen it yet—but I can tell him that the Home Secretary's deal and agreement with her French opposite number means a 40% increase in officers patrolling beaches in northern France; UK officers embedded with their French counterparts for the first time; investment in port security infrastructure; more technology; and more wider European co-operation.

It is not a matter of blaming anyone; it is a matter of a team effort and shared endeavour, working with the Scottish Government, to make sure that we get a grip on inflation, which is the No. 1 priority.

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. We fully support the Home Secretary and the important measures she has taken, whether on the Rwanda scheme, implementing the Nationality and Borders Act 2022, or the new deal with France to make sure that we collaborate with our international partners on a shared issue.

I thank the hon. Lady. She will know that we have extended the eligibility of free school meals to 1.9 million pupils. On top of that, there is the £200 million holiday activities and food programme and the £1,200 of direct payments to the most vulnerable.

I thank my right hon. Friend. I think I followed the various steps of logic in that question. I understand her opposition to HS2. I think we have some very difficult decisions to make. They will inevitably involve a balanced approach.

The hon. Member raises a really important point, and we are doing everything we can to support those who may be reliant on food banks or otherwise struggling to make ends meet. He can see that with the £1,200 cost of living support that is going to the 8 million most vulnerable households, the energy price guarantee and further measures for pensioners.

My hon. Friend makes an important point. I have said I will co-operate fully with the independent investigation. In fact, I welcome the opportunity to address these complaints. I think, though, that it is important that we have zero tolerance for any bullying and hold the highest standards in public life, and it is important for all of us to adhere to those standards.
