What steps is my right hon. Friend taking to attract highly skilled scientists and engineers to come and work in our country and contribute to our successful future?

Does the Home Secretary appreciate the widespread concern about the Jamaican deportation flight due tomorrow? Is she aware that Stephen Shaw, in his review of detention, suggested that we should not be deporting people who came here as children, but that many of the proposed deportees came here as children and have no memory of Jamaica? Does she accept that these deportations constitute double jeopardy, because the persons have already served an appropriate sentence for their crime? Is she aware that more than 170 Members of Parliament from all political parties have written to the Prime Minister calling for the deportation flight to be halted?

I have received significant online abuse, intimidation and threats. I believe that that kind of abuse on social media, directed at me and others, is simply unacceptable. It puts off people from making a difference in public life. I have received considerable online support from many of my constituents, and for that I should like to show my appreciation. What are the Government doing to protect people who would want to stand for public office?

On Friday the deputy chair of the local Conservative association was jailed for nine weeks for menacing communications, including these threats against me: “I am already organising her to be hurt. Amazing what crackheads will do for £100. I'm gonna get her beat up.” The chair of the local association wrote to me today expressing regrets and apologies for what he describes as the grave and unacceptable actions of its member, who has since been expelled. I welcome that letter and that support, but it concerns me that, thus far, no similar condemnation or sense of regret has been expressed by the national party. The national chair's letter to me in response to the issue said nothing stronger than intimidating behaviour has no place in our politics. May I therefore ask the Home Secretary to condemn these threats in the strongest terms, to look into her party's response, and also to show leadership by urging all political parties to come together and draw up a new joint code of conduct against intimidation? Violent threats must have no place in politics in all parties.

My constituency has one of the fastest-growing populations, but police numbers have not kept pace. Can my hon. Friend tell me what the Government are doing to increase police numbers in Cambridgeshire?

Does my hon. Friend agree that Neighbourhood Watch is a vital asset to the detection of crime? Will he join me in putting pressure on the Mayor of London to continue to support Online Watch Link—OWL—the online system used by more than 100,000 London Neighbourhood Watch members?

In the west midlands, violent crime is up 27%, the homicide rate is rising and, in Birmingham, drug crime is at a six-year high. Given the rises in violent and drug crime in Birmingham, will she accept that her comments include my city?

Could my right hon. Friend update the House on what is being done to tackle the intimidation of farmers and rural crime such as fly-tipping and theft?

Does my right hon. Friend agree that it is absolutely vital that we do everything possible to protect all Members of Parliament who are subject to threats, whether during an election or at any other time? We must report such incidents and make sure that the authorities have the appropriate powers to take action?
