According to Home Office figures, just 12% of Windrush victims have received compensation and nine people have died waiting. This is two and a half years after the Windrush taskforce was set up. What will the Government do and what will the Prime Minister do both to rectify this injustice and to ensure that no others who have come to the UK to live and work suffer in the same way as the Windrush victims?

May I associate myself with the Prime Minister's remarks in respect of our servicemen and women, past and present, in protecting our peace? With regard to our battle against covid, senior Church leaders have this past week issued a call for prayer across our nation. The Prime Minister, I know, is very well aware of the persecution suffered by countless people of faith across the world for wanting to pray and manifest their faith. Will he join me in supporting our Church leaders' call for prayer and in championing the universal human right of freedom of religion or belief wherever one lives?

May I join the Prime Minister in his comments about Jonathan Sacks? May I also send all our thoughts to those affected by the terrible events in Saudi Arabia this morning? May I welcome the victory of President-elect Biden and Vice-President-elect Harris—a new era of decency, integrity and compassion in the White House? May I also welcome the fantastic news about a possible breakthrough in the vaccine? It is early days, but this will give hope to millions of people that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Today is Armistice Day, and I am sure the whole House will join me in praising the remarkable work of the veterans charities such as Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion. Like many other charities, Help for Heroes has seen a significant drop in its funding during this pandemic, and it is now having to take very difficult decisions about redundancies and keeping open recovery centres for veterans. So can the Prime Minister commit today that the Government will do whatever they can to make sure our armed forces charities have the support that they need so that they can carry on supporting our veterans?

I thank the Prime Minister for his reply. The truth is the Chancellor's package for forces charities was just £6 million during this pandemic, and that is just not sufficient. May I ask the Prime Minister to reconsider that support on their behalf, because at the same time we have all seen this weekend that the Government can find £670,000 for PR consultants? And that is the tip of the iceberg: new research today shows that the Government have spent at least £130 million of taxpayers' money on PR companies, and that is in this year alone. Does the Prime Minister think that is a reasonable use of taxpayers' money?

Nobody is attacking individuals—everybody is supporting the vaccine—but £130 million, Prime Minister: there is a real question about the way that contracts are being awarded and about basic transparency and accountability. I know the Prime Minister does not like that, but this is not the Prime Minister's money; it is taxpayers' money. The Prime Minister may well not know the value of the pound in his pocket, but the people who send us here do, and they expect us to spend it wisely. Let me illustrate an example of the Government's lax attitude to taxpayers' money. Earlier this year, the Government paid about £150 million to a company called Ayanda Capital to deliver face masks. Can the Prime Minister tell the House how many usable face masks were actually provided to NHS workers on the frontline under that contract?

Keir Starmer noted that not a single face mask was delivered at a cost of £150 million. Consultants are being paid £7,000 a day for test and trace. Randox received a £347 million contract despite recalling 750,000 unused covid tests earlier this summer. The Chancellor's delay in extending furlough caused record redundancies of 181,000. What is the Prime Minister's message to those who have lost their jobs?

Redundancies are at a record high of 181,000; 780,000 off payroll since March; ONS saying unemployment is rising sharply. The Prime Minister's delay in extending furlough led to job losses and failure to address self-employment support gaps.

Self-employment income support scheme does not apply to millions of self-employed people, causing real human cost. Chris, a self-employed photographer, says his industry has been devastated and millions are falling through cracks. What would the Prime Minister say to Chris?

As we tackle the pandemic, is it right that we also secure our post-EU future by helping rural communities and securing borders?

I want to send our best wishes to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on winning the election in north America. The figures published by the Office for National Statistics yesterday demonstrate that UK faces a growing Tory unemployment crisis: UK unemployment is now 4.8%, redundancies are at a record high, nearly 800,000 fewer people are in employment. To support those who have lost their incomes, will the Prime Minister now commit to making the £20 uplift to universal credit permanent and extending it to legacy benefits?

The idea is that he tries to answer the question put to him. The SNP will continue to demand a permanent uprating of universal credit. Another group who have been left behind by this Prime Minister are the 3 million people completely excluded from UK Government support. In the run-up to Christmas, those forgotten millions will be among those struggling and worried about their future. Will the Prime Minister finally fix the serious gaps in his support schemes?

As we continue to protect the NHS, regional airports are facing multibillion-pound business rates bills and they are asking for a payment holiday similar to businesses in retail and hospitality. What assurances can my right hon Friend give East Devon's aircraft engineers, cabin crew and pilots that the Government will look to temporarily scrap business rates so that our regional airports can keep the country connected throughout the pandemic?

The people of Carmarthenshire and the rest of Wales are waiting for alternative proposals from the British Government despite all the promises of 'not a penny less'. When will the Prime Minister level with them about the UK Government being about to pick our pockets?

While we are focused on battling covid, humanitarian injustices and the plight of persecuted minorities should not be ignored. On Remembrance Sunday, Mahboob Ahmad Khan was shot dead, the fourth Ahmadi recently slain in Peshawar. Does my right hon Friend agree that hatred preached in Pakistan ends up on the streets of Britain and that it is in the interests of our own security that Her Majesty's Government should make it clear to Pakistan that state-supported persecution must end?

We have seen the largest increase in Welsh unemployment for nearly 30 years. The Prime Minister will know that the hospitality and events sectors have been heavily impacted by covid-19, but we cannot forget about the businesses in their supply chains. Many are not eligible for grant support and need help to cover running costs through winter months. Will he raise this matter with the Chancellor?

Christmas is a time for joy and celebration. With numerous events planned across Rother Valley, will the Prime Minister assure me that families can celebrate this important occasion?

A constituent emailed about multiple repeated calls from the track and trace system. The former Health Secretary criticised centralised contact tracing. Will the Prime Minister admit that the current outsourced model is ineffective?

With positive news on vaccine roll-out and mass testing, can the Prime Minister outline clear criteria for York to move from tier 2 to tier 1 starting December 2nd? Will he urge York council to take up the offer of mass testing?

The Prime Minister met my constituent Ronnie Norquoy on his crab boat and discussed problems caused by the Migration Advisory Committee classifying deck hands as unskilled. The MAC now classes them as skilled labour. Will he put the Home Secretary straight on this?

I welcome the introduction of the National Security and Investment Bill. When countries trample human rights at home and threaten our allies abroad, they should not be able to buy up strategic UK industries without scrutiny.

The Prime Minister spoke for many of us when he took a call yesterday to congratulate President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris on their emphatic win in the US presidential election, so does the Prime Minister now have any advice for his erstwhile best friend, President Trump, whose continuing refusal to accept the result is both embarrassing for him and dangerous for American democracy?

This Armistice Day, restrictions mean that we cannot mark the occasion with services as we normally would. However, in Heywood and Middleton, veterans associations are following the guidance to mark the day in a covid-safe way. Will my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister join me in praising them, the Royal British Legion and, indeed, all those across the United Kingdom who are doing their best to ensure that we can pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice?

Every day, there is a new story about dodgy contracts signed by this Government. Research by Tussell, the data provider, shows that the Government take an average of two and a half months to publish covid-related contracts, exceeding the legal limit of 30 days. Will the Prime Minister commit to publishing all contracts within the legal limit, and does he accept that the failure to address this scandal affects his Government's awarding of public contracts?

On Armistice Day, as we remember those who gave their lives for our country and those who still serve, will the Prime Minister give a positive response to the “Living in our shoes: understanding the needs of UK Armed Forces families” report on making life better for our armed forces families? These wonderful people put up with more separation, moving of family homes and worry about the safety of their loved ones than anyone else, and looking after them should be a national priority.
