First its questions to the Home Secretary and her ministeri`l team. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Order! Questions to the Secretary of State for the Home Department. I | :00:15. | :00:29. | |
recognise there is an urgent question on the tragic circtmstances | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
of Orlando later, but I'm stre the thoughts and prayers of the whole | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
house with the victim 's and their families of this appalling terrorist | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
attack. With permission I whll answer questions one and fotr on the | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
order paper together. The ntmber of full-time equivalent staff hn border | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
force is expected to remain flat. Budgets have not been finalhsed so I | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
am unable to provide an esthmate of staffing levels for subsequdnt | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
years. Can I thank the Secrdtary of State for that reply and endorse her | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
sentiments about the appallhng events in Orlando, but can H ask | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
what impression of the UK as she feel people get at our airports when | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
faced with huge immigration queues and yet there are vast numbdrs of | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
desks unoccupied on the immhgration officers desks. Does the Hole Office | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
not know what is going on or do they not care and what will she do about | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
it? I am pleased to say that we have made significant difference over | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
recent years in how border force manages its workforce. When we came | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
into power we discovered under the last government, the workforce | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
schedules did not match the peak requirements of people arriving at | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
the airports. We have changdd that and increase the number of dlectric | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
gates so people do not have to go to the desks. Ports like Hull `re being | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
targeted by traffickers and illegal immigrants as was shown in February | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
when 18 illegal immigrants were found. With the cuts, many staff | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
have contacted me to say thdy are worried they are not able to provide | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
the level of service they w`nt to. Can she say what more resources | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
places like Hull and other ports will be getting to help thel do the | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
job they want to do? We are clear that border force has sufficient | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
resources in place to carry out its duties across Humberside and to not | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
effective operations. What border force has been doing is enstring | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
there is a greater flexibilhty in the workforce so it can man`ge it | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
better according to risk and need. One of the things that makes border | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
force more effective in protecting the border at Kent is the ability to | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
operate in Calais rather th`n in Dover as it used to. Does she agreed | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
that anything that would give the French the temptation to move our | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
border back to Dover would serve to weaken our borders? He is rhght Not | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
only as a former Immigration Minister, he is aware of our | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
juxtaposed controls in France and I am clear that those controls are a | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
significant benefit, they hdlp us to secure our border and we wish them | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
to stay. Following on the qtestion from the MP from Hull, I welcome the | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
fact that border force are being more flexible in their approach but | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
humble businesses and residdnts are extremely concerned following the | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
report issued recently by the National crimes agency. I h`d a | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
recent meeting that provides some reassurance but could she ghve an | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
absolute assurance that addhtional resources will be put into Humber | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
ports if required? My honourable friend makes an important point and | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
I hope I can reassure him bx informing him that we have `nnounced | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
border force will be providdd with ?31 million to deploy more staff to | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
undertake counter smuggling work and this will lead to more staff being | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
deployed at maritime ports hncluding those on Humberside. Can I begin by | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
congratulating the Home Secretary on passing another milestone, becoming | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
the third longest serving Home Secretary in history. Number three | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
is important because that is the number of border force vessdls | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
available to patrol our coastline and whereas the Italians have 6 0. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
Could she looked at the need to provide more resorts is. At this | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
moment, criminal gangs are targeting the English Channel, going hnto | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
smaller ports with their cargo. Could we have that action occurring | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
much sooner than the few ye`rs should she has mentioned? I | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
apologise because I suspect he may be the longest serving chairman of | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
the select committee other but I haven't looked at the record books | :05:23. | :05:32. | |
yet! It is not, in comparing the number of vessels with Italx, it is | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
not comparing like with likd. What we have done if you look at the | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
suitability of vessels and what is required and that is why thdre will | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
be changes and in the Stratdgic Defence Review announced last | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
November it was announced wd would be looking to ensure all maritime | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
assets could be deployed most effectively in dealing with these | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
risks and threats. Would shd published the internal revidw by the | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
National crime agency which highlighted the weaknesses hn | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
patrols at our small ports `nd marinas, and I have the closest | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
Channel port to London in mx constituency and will she told the | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
House watch she will do to reconfigure the way border force | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
patrol speeches in the South east of England, now vulnerable to | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
traffickers. In dealing with the potential threat of people trying to | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
enter the UK clandestinely through smaller ports, what is important is | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
it is not just about physic`l policing of the coastline, ht is | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
about understanding intelligence and the work being done to counter the | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
organised criminal gangs and the National crime agency has ddveloped | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
an organised immigration task force. It is working with its French | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
counterparts and elsewhere on the Campton and to ensure we can stop | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
these movements from happenhng before they reach our shores. - | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
continent. While the managelent of the cancer is a matter for the | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
French government, there is close engagement between the UK and France | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
on all matters. Through the August 20 15th joint declaration, we set up | :07:21. | :07:29. | |
a project being delivered bx the French organisation to identify | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
vulnerable migrants and dirdct them to existing protection, support and | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
advice. Can I associate everyone on these benches with the Home | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
Secretary's earlier comments on Orlando. The UK Government should be | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
proactive in identifying unaccompanied minors with the UK | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
connection and should help to guide them through the process of finding | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
protection in the UK. What hs the Government doing to comply with that | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
and what have the results bden? As I have indicated, the French | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
organisation which the UK Government is providing financial support to | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
instilling that I'm going into the camps to identify young people to | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
ensure we have a good understanding of the work that is there and there | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
are devices we have going into the camps to provide appropriatd advice | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
but the key thing is getting them into the French asylum systdm. Can I | :08:25. | :08:33. | |
also joined with the Home Secretary's comments in rel`tion to | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
Orlando. Research shows children in refugee camps in Calais and Dunkirk | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
are experiencing violence, sexual exploitation, abuse on a dahly | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
basis. Unicef estimate that the current rate could take up to a year | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
to process children already in Calais and Dunkirk who have a legal | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
right to reunite in the UK. What steps are the Government taking to | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
address this and how many Home Office staff are based in France, | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
working to speed up the process I agree with the honourable gdntleman | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
in seeking to ensure these cases are processed as quickly as possible. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
The most effective way to do that is by having teams that link up with | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
the best expertise on both sides of the channel. That is what wd have | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
put in place with the French authorities and rather than the | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
suggestion this will take the length of time he indicated, we ard seeing | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
cases processed in a matter of weeks and that is what we want to see Mr | :09:36. | :09:49. | |
Speaker, the Government is committed to tackling illegal working. The | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
immigration act to make the legal working a criminal offence hn its | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
own right and ensures wages paid can be seized as the proceeds of crime | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
and assets may be confiscatdd on conviction. The Government hs | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
prioritising the implementation of this provision which will bd on the | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
12th of July. Does he consider that tackling illegal working has been | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
made easier or harder by thd 20 4 judgment of the European Cotrt which | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
forbids the UK from acquiring migrants having documentation issued | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
by the British government ddspite a judge saying documents issudd by | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
other EU states are systematically forged? I can reassure my honourable | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
friend on the steps that border force does take to check | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
documentation and under this Government we have 100% checks of | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
all passengers arriving precisely for the fact of identifying where | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
fraudulent documents are usdd. On the 11th of May I wrote to the | :10:47. | :11:01. | |
Home Secretary regarding an illegal worker in the head secretarx in the | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
UK. Can he explain why that illegal worker is nil -- still workhng in | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
the United Kingdom and why `nyone seeking to report illegal workers is | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
referred by the Home Office to Crimestoppers rather than ddaling | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
with it in the department hhmself? I can assure him about the stdps being | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
taken in a number of sectors where abuse has been highlighted hncluding | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
things like construction and also in the care sector. I will follow up on | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
the point he has raised abott the letter he sent to meet to ensure | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
that is being appropriately followed up. Where is the fellow? De`r oh | :11:40. | :11:56. | |
dear. Not here, it lies with the member whose question it is. We must | :11:57. | :12:05. | |
move on. Ministers and senior officials have formally opened | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
consultations with Greece, Htaly and France to identify and transferred | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
to the UK unaccompanied reftgee children where it since the best | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
interests. We are also constlting with local authorities, NGOs and in | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
addition we have worked with France to improve the Dublin familx | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
reunification process. Firstly can I associate myself with the comments | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
from the Home Secretary and other members on the homophobic h`te based | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
atrocity that has taken place this week in Orlando. Here the Rdd Cross | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
have stated concern for children in Dunkirk. They have highlighted the | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
length of the asylum process, the domination of smugglers as factors | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
that prevent the situation getting off the ground. What progress is | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
being made to overcome thesd challenges and make sure chhldren | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
are swiftly reunited with f`mily in the UK? I can ensure higher that we | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
are doing all we can to get children in the asylum system and once they | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
are in the asylum system to make sure the procedure happens `s | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
quickly as possible. We are having regular meetings with the rdlevant | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
NGOs including a big one coling up on Thursday to find out he how we | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
can speed this up. Let the record show that the system is operating | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
much faster and in many mord numbers than in 2015 and we are doing our | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
absolute best to speed it up as much as we can. What progress have you | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
made in despatching the 75 dxperts to Greece and experts into the | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
hotspot around Europe and also into Cali to ensure there is a robustness | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
in the system rather than h`ving children going into have thd | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
application reprocessed rather than going into the hands of the | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
smugglers? Of the officials who are due to go out to the hotspots, that | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
is really well underway. Anx have already gone and more will be going | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
in the next few weeks but I would like to point out to the honourable | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
gentleman who I know has taken a keen interest in this and I know my | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
right honourable friend the Immigration Minister and hilself | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
have worked together on a lot of things got me to take this | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
seriously. We are putting a lot of resource into it and I hope in | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
future to be able to report to the House the positive results H know | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
the honourable gentleman wants. And how many unaccompanied children from | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
France have been admitted shnce the Minister took on this role? The most | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
recent figures published ard that more than 30 children from France | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
have come over here. That is in the period up until April 20 16. I can | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
assure the honourable lady we are expecting this to increase very | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
significantly but we cannot take these duties lightly. We have, for | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
example, read very carefullx a survey or census as they call it | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
from most of the Calais camp. 5 children claim family reunion | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
connections with the UK. We are doing everything we can to puantify | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
the ones with family reunifhcation mix and do our best to speed them up | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
but I am sure she will agred this is something we have to take sdriously | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
and make sure they have proper connections with the UK and are | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
fitted proved they do it is a very quick process, that they ard brought | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
over here quickly. Further to the question from the honourabld lady | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
does he think that he is addquate and the children identified how | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
quickly does he think he can we accompany them with their f`milies? | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
As I explained before I think the number will be in piecing | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
significantly in the future and the most significant thing is that the | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
speed it takes once the child claims asylum really know is a short period | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
of in many cases two weeks `nd I am hoping to improve upon that. Davies, | :16:25. | :16:34. | |
where is he? What is going on? This is very regrettable. Border Force | :16:35. | :16:46. | |
officers in New Haven maint`in 00% checks on passengers and undertake | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
intelligence led activity to tackle people and commodity -based threats. | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
The work with the National Crime Agency and their French counterparts | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
to stop smuggling of passengers and commodities into the UK illdgally | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
through that port. I recently met with the new Haven Port authority to | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
discuss the future of the Ndw Haven Ferry and they told me last year was | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
the most successful year evdr with a 50% increase in passengers `nd | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
freight. While this is welcome it as putting extreme pressure on the | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
border force officials. Good the minister give me the assurance that | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
this government is doing evdrything it can to ensure that vital travel | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
and trade link is kept secure Western Mark I congratulate the port | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
operators for the work that they have done to see the success of my | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
honourable friend has highlhghted in her work having them support I am | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
sure as well. I can underline the border force does operate a model to | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
ensure we have the necessarx code team to tackle the activity. | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
Additional resource in line with intelligence where we have | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
identified they are regular threats. It is a considerable distance from | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
the constituent see of the honourable gentleman but I `m sure | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
he will appeal him. Princip`l ports such as Holyhead and New Haven in my | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
constituency are under extrdme pressure because smaller vessels are | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
used in close proximity. Can I suggest offshore vessels whhch are | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
not used in the North Sea on wind farms can be adapted with the border | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
agency to close these gaps? I congratulate the honourable | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
gentleman on his ingenuity hn asking the question but as the Homd | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
Secretary has already responded in terms of the strategic revidw being | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
undertaken we are looking at all assets that are available from | :18:47. | :18:48. | |
government to ensure we are pulling them together, that we have been at | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
an Maritime intelligence information Centre which is designed to assist | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
with that. We will continue with that work. Yes, the honourable | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
gentleman is going to tell ts about Stranraer, I do see! Mr Spe`ker my | :19:04. | :19:14. | |
home port often are in my constituency had the previots | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
Coalition Government remove the border forces from my home port of | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
Stranraer in my constituencx a number of years ago. Given the | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
threats we face from contraband and indeed puppy smuggling from the rest | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
of the European Union, will be Secretary Of State will do the exam | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
and that decisions we can h`ve appropriate defences that otr in | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
Stranraer? The Home Secretary has already indicated ?63 million of | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
additional resources being lade available to focus on these issues | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
smuggling. I am happy to discuss further with the honourable | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
gentleman any particular issues he may have but I can certainlx give | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
him that assurance on the intelligence led approach and how we | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
ploy resources dynamically to meet any challenges. We have est`blished | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
and continued to strengthen the system whereby the lease and crying | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
commissioners provide real local accountability on how Chief | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
Constable was Mac forces reform The college of police create an evidence | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
base that is the best practhce for professional standards. Will my | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
honourable friend these comlent on the reform of the Independent Police | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
Complaints Commission whose processes have caused issues for | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
officers in my constituency and whose effectiveness is vital for | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
public confidence in the police With the police and crime Bhll going | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
through the House at the molent we intend to restore that confhdence in | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
the IPC see not just by changing its name by strengthening it in its | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
role. It is imperative the public have confidence in the police | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
because they do a fantastic job the vast majority of them do so. Will | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
these reforms help solve unsolved crimes because nobody who grew up in | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
Dudley will forget the shocking murder of 13 euros paperboy Carl | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
Bridgewater and the one who watched last night 's documentary on the | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
case will think the new evidence should not be looked at. I `sked the | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
police under the CPS to revhew this new evidence to find out if this | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
case can finally be solved `nd this verse and responsible finally | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
brought to justice. No-one will forget that terrible case. No matter | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
how long it is. It is not the role of the IPC see to instruct the | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
police to reopen an investigation but we will look at the evidence and | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
perhaps we can meet and discuss it further. Having pledged guilty to | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
the manslaughter of just an claiming diminished responsibility this case | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
raises questions about how well mental health services work with | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
police. What steps are the government taking to improvd this | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
and will be Minister meet whth us once more to prove the lessons can | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
be learned from this case and such an horrific case can never happen | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
again? I am pleased that thd family have the courage to want to campaign | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
on knife crime, it is something very important where victims feel they | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
have the confidence to come forward. I am sure my colleagues will be more | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
than happy to meet. The isste through mental health is catght to | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
the Bill going through at the moment and the Elise have to be thd last | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
resort of safety. We have to make sure we have better underst`nding of | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
mental health issues and thd Street triage and that sort of work that is | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
going on at the moment Lee has helped policing where we wotld like | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
to see it in the 21st-century. One of the things that makes thd police | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
extremely effective is the cooperation we receive from our | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
European partners. What will the Minister say on the 25th of June if | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
you are no longer eligible to be in Europe all? What we would do is work | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
with our European partners `nd other partners around the world to make | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
sure that our criminal justhce system works. For the policd to be | :23:29. | :23:37. | |
effective the need to be trtsted by the community they serve. Truth is | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
built by being honest about the past. Will the Home Secretary | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
finally do the right thing `nd grant the request of the truth and justice | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
campaign and nearly 100 cross-party MPs for a full enquiry on what | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
exactly happened on the 18th of June 13 years ago in the battle of | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
believe? This is a very important point and the Home Secretarx has a | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
track record of looking at the sort of thing very open-minded ldak any | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
week now other Home Secretary has ever done. We will look at that and | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
we are still looking at it `t the moment. The confidence in the police | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
can only be there if we havd a transparent system which is exactly | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
what this bill is taking through the House at the moment. This government | :24:23. | :24:30. | |
takes the threat of cyber crime very seriously which is why, through the | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
National cyber Security programme, we invested over ?90 million in the | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
last Parliament to build spdcialist capabilities and improve thd law | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
enforcement response at the local, regional and national levels. We | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
will continue to invest. As the Chancellor announced last November | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
that government is committed to spending 1.9 billion pounds on cyber | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
security over the next five years including for tackling cybercrime. | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
Leicestershire police, whosd hard-working officers I shadowed on | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
patrol last Friday, about a range of cybercrime information on the | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
website. Does my right honotrable friend agreed that effectivd | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
partnership working between the police and other agencies is key to | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
maintaining adequate defencds against the growing and real threats | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
that cybercrime poses our society? It is so vital that we work with the | :25:24. | :25:35. | |
police and others and Leicestershire police is a shining example of | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
proactive working to make stre people understand the threats, risks | :25:41. | :25:50. | |
and how to stay safe online. Operation the ghost saw British | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
nationals based in Spain who were mugging online British businesses | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
and British pensioners. Does the Home Secretary agree with md that | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
whether it is combating raphdly growing cyber crime or | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
counterterrorism or human trafficking or the drugs tr`de or | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
ensuring there is no place, hiding place in Europe for Europe's most | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
serious criminals that European collaboration, including through the | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
European arrest warrant is absolutely key. I do agree. He is | :26:25. | :26:33. | |
right. I visited Spain during the time that operation was carried out. | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
It was only because of that cooperation and that work bx | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
laterally and using those Etropean union mechanisms that we were able | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
to have such success in that operation. Currently there `re 0 | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
pieces of legislation being used against online crimes. Therd is | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
clearly a need to consolidate offences so that those effective are | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
more likely to seek justice. Will she meet with me to discuss this | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
further, the important amendments that are tabled this afternoon which | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
provide part of the solution. I think we need to have more | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
coordination and the Ministdr would benefit from further discussion of | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
this issue. My right honour`ble friend and I had a conversation | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
about this earlier with refdrence to the debate happening later `nd I am | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
more than happy to meet her together with my noble friend the Baroness | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
Shields who has responsibilhty for Digital security on the Intdrnet. | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
According to Childnet, 82% of children between the ages of 13 and | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
17 have seen hateful things on the Internet. Added to that the NSPCC | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
are saying Georgian as young as 11 have been victims of revengd pawn so | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
what more can this minister do and what assurances can she givds to the | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
House that children will always be protected from the worst aspects of | :28:03. | :28:09. | |
the Internet? He races such incredibly important points. The | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
Internet is a fantastic opportunity for all of us and it's amazhng that | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
children, my children can play games with their friends hundreds of miles | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
away, across the world. But there are risks and their threats to being | :28:24. | :28:30. | |
on the Internet. That is whx we are legislating to insist on agd | :28:31. | :28:33. | |
verification for pornographhc websites so children do not have | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
access and that is why I will work across government departments, to | :28:38. | :28:44. | |
make sure we do everything we can, working with industry to kedp | :28:45. | :28:53. | |
children safe online. We have improved our understanding of | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
extremism and radicalisation. We have built partnerships with over | :28:59. | :29:02. | |
350 community groups, introduce and trained people. Excluded ovdr 1 0 | :29:03. | :29:09. | |
hate preachers and worked whth social media providers to rdmove | :29:10. | :29:14. | |
180,000 pieces of terrorist related content online since 2010. Ofsted | :29:15. | :29:23. | |
admitted to me that it had failed to properly inspect the Zacharhah | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
Muslim girls high school in Batley in October 2050 run by a | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
Conservative Muslim sect because the inspector felt unable to spdak to | :29:33. | :29:39. | |
pupils or staff. Despite thd fact the report commented on the school's | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
policies towards radicalisation Does she agree we need to m`ke sure | :29:45. | :29:49. | |
all government agencies use every means at their disposal to drive out | :29:50. | :29:55. | |
extremism from every corner of society? I absolutely agree. From | :29:56. | :29:59. | |
the point of the present dud to putting that on a statutory basis is | :30:00. | :30:03. | |
to ensure people in the public sector recognise the responsibility | :30:04. | :30:09. | |
they have in dealing with extremism, spotting it and making sure action | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
is taken and we have seen from the examples of the Trojan horsd example | :30:15. | :30:20. | |
in education, how important it is that all those responsible for what | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
is happening in schools is right and proper and British values are being | :30:25. | :30:31. | |
taught. Will be Secretary of State explain why the Government has | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
placed female genital mutil`tion, forced marriage and honour ,based | :30:36. | :30:41. | |
violence in the UK counter dxtremism strategy? It is because we have | :30:42. | :30:49. | |
looked at a series, ways in which people can operate within | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
communities to try and create an attitude, particularly to women | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
within those communities th`t effectively treats women as | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
second-class citizens and that is counter to the British valuds we | :31:02. | :31:05. | |
have in our society. We takd issues around forced marriage, honour | :31:06. | :31:11. | |
-based violence and female genital mutilation extremely seriously. We | :31:12. | :31:15. | |
have taken action against these issues, we want to see more action | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
being taken, being able to bring more prosecutions but it is | :31:21. | :31:24. | |
important we recognise therd are some attitudes that help crdate | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
divisions in society and we don t want those divisions, we want to | :31:28. | :31:33. | |
ensure there is proper respdct regardless of gender, faith, | :31:34. | :31:38. | |
background, class, ethnicitx. One of the best ways to stop extrelism and | :31:39. | :31:43. | |
radicalisation is to keep r`dicals and extremists out of the country in | :31:44. | :31:49. | |
the first place. Often thesd people do have a criminal record although | :31:50. | :31:55. | |
it may not necessarily show up on lists of terrorists. Can shd | :31:56. | :32:00. | |
confirmed that when an EU arrives at one of our borders, their p`ssport | :32:01. | :32:04. | |
is checked against the crimhnal record check bureau of their own | :32:05. | :32:11. | |
country? Is that happening or not? I have made plain to my honourable | :32:12. | :32:16. | |
friend that the information we have at our borders through our | :32:17. | :32:19. | |
membership in the European Tnion is an important strand of information | :32:20. | :32:24. | |
which enables our border officials and others to make decisions about | :32:25. | :32:28. | |
individuals coming across the border, but I am sure that `s he | :32:29. | :32:33. | |
says he does not want peopld preaching extremism coming hnto the | :32:34. | :32:39. | |
UK, I would hope he would congratulate the Government that we | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
have excluded more hate pre`chers from this country than any previous | :32:45. | :32:49. | |
secretary. Can I join with others and condemn the despicable `cts in | :32:50. | :32:54. | |
Orlando and we should be cldar these are homophobic and criminal acts. | :32:55. | :32:57. | |
There were ongoing concern that rather than defeating IES, the | :32:58. | :33:02. | |
military action in Syria has displaced criminals and encouraged | :33:03. | :33:08. | |
many people to engage in acts closer to home. Can I ask what acthon is | :33:09. | :33:15. | |
being taken to address the specific developments and can we be reassured | :33:16. | :33:20. | |
that action to tackle this behaviour will not eclipse the good efforts of | :33:21. | :33:28. | |
many of which there is much. The lady is right to say there `re many | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
good efforts taking place whthin communities to prevent extrdmism. | :33:34. | :33:36. | |
The Government wants to support that and gives voice to those mahnstream | :33:37. | :33:41. | |
voices working to promote the values we share across our society. In | :33:42. | :33:47. | |
relation to the threat of D`esh we watch carefully how developlents, | :33:48. | :33:51. | |
matters are developing. It is so important that we deal not | :33:52. | :34:09. | |
just with physical presence but also with the bigoted ideology that | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
underlies the terrorist thrdat because it is only by dealing with | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
that that we will be able to deal with the terrorist threat. Hn the | :34:17. | :34:24. | |
light of last week's conviction of the man who launched an unprovoked | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
knife attack at Leytonstone tube station and some unverified reports | :34:29. | :34:34. | |
that the Orlando shooter suffered from bipolar disorder, we should be | :34:35. | :34:40. | |
mindful of the Royal United services Institute estimates that in 35% of | :34:41. | :34:45. | |
cases of Lone wolf terrorisl, there was an indication of a ment`l health | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
disorder. Could she tell thd House what action she has taken and what | :34:50. | :34:54. | |
information and guidance has been issued to GPs and other health | :34:55. | :34:58. | |
professionals on assessing the risks of radicalisation of their patients? | :34:59. | :35:02. | |
I made reference earlier to the prevent duty and that covers the | :35:03. | :35:08. | |
whole of the public sector `nd that is why we have think conducting | :35:09. | :35:14. | |
training within the public sector about the issues around | :35:15. | :35:19. | |
radicalisation. Alongside that I am sure the honourable lady will | :35:20. | :35:22. | |
welcome the parity of esteel that the Government is giving to mental | :35:23. | :35:26. | |
health and physical self inside the NHS. I am very aware of the life | :35:27. | :35:34. | |
changing impact and distress to victim is caused by acid attacks and | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
am working with retailers to identify the best means of | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
restricting sales of products with a high acidic content. Attacks | :35:43. | :35:47. | |
involving acid are by their very nature particularly nasty offences, | :35:48. | :35:52. | |
can the Minister please asstre the House that she will work with the | :35:53. | :35:57. | |
Ministry of Justice to ensure that adequate resources are made | :35:58. | :36:01. | |
available to tackle the problem but that also deterrent sentencds are | :36:02. | :36:06. | |
imposed a properly reflect the life changing nature of this offdnce Can | :36:07. | :36:10. | |
I assure my honourable friend that I work closely with the Ministry of | :36:11. | :36:15. | |
Justice and the Justice Minhster is on the bench and I can assure him we | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
do work very closely on this, because he is right. We do want to | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
see not just perpetrators c`ught and stopped but we want to see | :36:25. | :36:27. | |
appropriate sentences for that behaviour. We have invested tens of | :36:28. | :36:36. | |
millions of pounds to reinforce border security at the juxt`pose | :36:37. | :36:41. | |
ports including the install`tion of security fencing, floodlighting | :36:42. | :36:44. | |
anti-intrusion detection technology and industry will freight sdarch, | :36:45. | :36:50. | |
dogs and security personnel. This has been complement it by increased | :36:51. | :36:57. | |
French police numbers. I welcome the increased UK border enhancelents | :36:58. | :37:04. | |
over the coming summer period. Can he say whether there will bd an | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
exchange of information on those leaving the UK as well as those | :37:09. | :37:15. | |
entering this country? He m`kes an important point about sharing of | :37:16. | :37:18. | |
information and intelligencd between the UK and France. I think that is | :37:19. | :37:25. | |
an essential point to stress in the context of organised immigr`tion | :37:26. | :37:29. | |
crime that may be working across the Channel. We have stepped up our | :37:30. | :37:32. | |
activities with the French authorities and that is somdthing | :37:33. | :37:36. | |
we'll make a continuing imp`ct in the fight against those who are | :37:37. | :37:40. | |
simply seeking to traffic pdople into this country. The schools | :37:41. | :37:48. | |
summer holidays are also known as the cutting season where yotng girls | :37:49. | :37:52. | |
can be flown from the UK to have female genital mutilation forced | :37:53. | :37:56. | |
upon them in other countries. Can he say what steps the Government is | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
taking to ensure that border control are equipped to stopping yotng girls | :38:01. | :38:04. | |
being flown out of the UK to be mutilated? She makes a very | :38:05. | :38:10. | |
compelling and important pohnt. Indeed I understand this max well be | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
something debated in this afternoon's debate in relathon to | :38:16. | :38:19. | |
the policing bill. I will continue to discuss this with colleagues but | :38:20. | :38:24. | |
I can assure her of the steps that are being taken to ensure border | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
Force officers are being tr`ined, we are recognising this appallhng crime | :38:29. | :38:37. | |
and to a much greater extent. Given England's inevitable progression | :38:38. | :38:42. | |
towards the Euro 2016 final, with the Minister reassure me th`t the | :38:43. | :38:45. | |
juxtaposed border controls will have the resources we need to de`l with | :38:46. | :38:50. | |
the fans that go out there but to deal with the morons that h`ve | :38:51. | :38:55. | |
shamed our country over the last week. I am sure all of us would | :38:56. | :39:00. | |
condemn any of the actions of anyone not going to watch fourball but to | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
become involved in violence and we condemn bad. We want to see all of | :39:06. | :39:11. | |
the home nations doing well in the days and weeks ahead, but the | :39:12. | :39:14. | |
honourable gentleman makes the point about security. It is being | :39:15. | :39:18. | |
maintained. We have stepped up security screening externally and | :39:19. | :39:25. | |
internally and the French authorities have maintained security | :39:26. | :39:28. | |
at this increasingly challenging time for the French governmdnt. As a | :39:29. | :39:33. | |
member from Wales, can the Linister please join me in commending Wales | :39:34. | :39:38. | |
is the first home nation to win its first game at the European | :39:39. | :39:46. | |
Championships? And does he believe that exchange of information with | :39:47. | :39:52. | |
our allies will be improved or worsened by Britain leaving the | :39:53. | :39:55. | |
European Union on the 23rd of June? I think I commended all of the home | :39:56. | :40:01. | |
nations in my initial contrhbution but the point the honourabld | :40:02. | :40:05. | |
gentleman makes is really ilportant, how they benefit from being able to | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
use European systems to scrden people at the border to havd Euro | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
poll to work with joint investigation teams with police and | :40:15. | :40:17. | |
law enforcement agencies across Europe and how I believe our | :40:18. | :40:22. | |
position on safety and security is strengthened by being part of those | :40:23. | :40:33. | |
mechanisms and being part of the EU. Our immigration system is ddsigned | :40:34. | :40:37. | |
to work for the whole of thd UK Applying different rules wotld lead | :40:38. | :40:40. | |
to migrants applying in one part of the UK and then moving to another as | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
the Scottish Government's own research shows happen with the fresh | :40:46. | :40:52. | |
talent scheme. The scheme they abolished, I thank the Minister I | :40:53. | :40:57. | |
would like to draw his attention to the fact that both Australi` and | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
Canada have introduced substate migration rules. We'll be government | :41:02. | :41:08. | |
look seriously at how this can be incremented in the UK as has been | :41:09. | :41:11. | |
suggested by the Justice Secretary today in Scotland? | :41:12. | :41:23. | |
The fresh talent scheme shotld many stayed in Scotland at the end of the | :41:24. | :41:36. | |
scheme. They advised the salary thresholds would not be appropriate | :41:37. | :41:40. | |
and would be to the setting of higher salary thresholds in Scotland | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
as contrasted to the rest of the UK and therefore would not achheve the | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
objective I think he is tryhng to argue for. Scotland's need for | :41:49. | :41:58. | |
different immigration rules is because Scotland faces very | :41:59. | :42:00. | |
different Democratic challengers from London and the south-e`st yet | :42:01. | :42:05. | |
it is the needs of London and the south-east which determine British | :42:06. | :42:10. | |
immigration policy. Why won't the government excludes Scotland from | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
the net migration target and work with the Scottish Government to | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
pursue policies that are tahlored for Scotland's needs. I do not agree | :42:18. | :42:24. | |
with hard analysis. We alre`dy do have the shortage occupation list | :42:25. | :42:28. | |
which recognises the differdnt shortages of skills which m`y be | :42:29. | :42:33. | |
needed in Scotland but I do say to the honourable lady that through the | :42:34. | :42:37. | |
Scotland act the government has the powers to make Scotland a more | :42:38. | :42:40. | |
attractive ways to come, live and work and boost the trade and | :42:41. | :42:46. | |
occupation and I would encotrage the Scottish Government to use those | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
powers. Immigration is still reserved but I am interested to hear | :42:51. | :42:55. | |
he accepts the principal different rules can apply to different parts | :42:56. | :43:00. | |
of the UK I highlighting differences in the shortage occupation lists. | :43:01. | :43:03. | |
Having accepted the principle why will he not work with the Scottish | :43:04. | :43:07. | |
Government to burst your other policies which are designed to meet | :43:08. | :43:14. | |
the specific demographic ch`llenges Scotland has? We always are very | :43:15. | :43:22. | |
welcome to continue the discussions with the Scottish Government over | :43:23. | :43:27. | |
this issue, recognising immhgration remains a reserved matter. We will | :43:28. | :43:31. | |
look at the Scottish affairs committee report and respond to that | :43:32. | :43:36. | |
shortly. We are clearly needs to be a policy for immigration across the | :43:37. | :43:39. | |
UK and that is what this government will continue to adopt. Mr Speaker, | :43:40. | :43:49. | |
the violence in Marseille surrounding England's match against | :43:50. | :43:54. | |
Russia was deeply disturbing. Seven England fans are still in hospital, | :43:55. | :43:58. | |
two with very severe injurids and our thoughts are with them. It was | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
trouble involving England stpporters on Thursday, Friday and Sattrday | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
around the city and the alarming clashes in the stadium at the end of | :44:08. | :44:15. | |
the match. There will be se`rching questions about how segregation of | :44:16. | :44:20. | |
fans in the stadium broke down. I am in no doubt that quarterly to groups | :44:21. | :44:26. | |
of Russian supporters here ` heavy responsibility for instigathng | :44:27. | :44:28. | |
violence but we must also ensure we have our own House in order, some | :44:29. | :44:35. | |
among the England contingent in Marseille behaved in exclushvely. | :44:36. | :44:38. | |
Anyone who travelled to France to cause trouble does a disservice to | :44:39. | :44:44. | |
the nation and all England fans We will do all we can to ensurd such | :44:45. | :44:49. | |
scenes are not repeated. I have spoken to the interior minister | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
bands are in place to make sure there are more police in pl`ce for | :44:54. | :45:00. | |
the match with Wales. An extension on the banner of alcohol fidlds | :45:01. | :45:05. | |
around key matches was annotnced yesterday as a positive step. I | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
would appeal to the English and Welsh fans travelling this Thursday, | :45:10. | :45:15. | |
Uefa has made it clear that the penalties for bad behaviour for | :45:16. | :45:17. | |
individuals and the teams they support will be very clear. The hope | :45:18. | :45:23. | |
is that fans will respond in the right spirit and we can get back to | :45:24. | :45:29. | |
enjoying the turn in. As a former barrister whose bed lies thdn | :45:30. | :45:36. | |
insolvency law I understand they are ways to recover from people involved | :45:37. | :45:41. | |
in fraud. ?1.1 million and ten disqualifications of directors has | :45:42. | :45:48. | |
happened since the insolvency pilot began in 2013, either plans to | :45:49. | :45:51. | |
continue the pilot? My honotrable friend is right to point to the work | :45:52. | :45:58. | |
that has been done so far that is actually a joint public and private | :45:59. | :46:03. | |
sector group across various agencies, the National Crimd Agency | :46:04. | :46:08. | |
is one of its sponsors. The future of the project is being considered | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
and the outcome of that report will be part of those considerathons I | :46:14. | :46:21. | |
must remind the front benchds we must include backbenchers. The | :46:22. | :46:28. | |
terrible scenes of violence in Marseille this weekend have soured | :46:29. | :46:30. | |
what should have been a gre`t celebration of football. Thd vast | :46:31. | :46:35. | |
majority have been let down by a hard-core minority and the `ctions | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
are even more inexcusable ghven the serious terror threat hanging over | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
the tournament. It is also the case there was extreme provocation and | :46:45. | :46:50. | |
there was severe feelings inside the stadium and concerns also about | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
policing. Given this is a complex matter where we need to est`blish | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
all the facts ahead of the Dngland versus Wales game on Thursd`y will | :47:00. | :47:04. | |
she make a full day her earliest agility to ensure people's fave day | :47:05. | :47:11. | |
and ensure there is no repe`t? He is right we want to ensure the alarm no | :47:12. | :47:14. | |
repeats of the sort of scends we saw in Marseille. That is precisely why | :47:15. | :47:19. | |
work is ongoing between the UK Government and the French government | :47:20. | :47:23. | |
will look at the steps that need to be taken regularly around l`nds and | :47:24. | :47:28. | |
Lille where we we will be looking for the England and Wales m`tch but | :47:29. | :47:33. | |
also Russia playing in real close to that time and that will continue. | :47:34. | :47:39. | |
Let me turn to health and mdntion I wrote to all part these in the House | :47:40. | :47:44. | |
and mentioned it as a moment of real change. One reason the injustice | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
stood store long was inadeqtacy of the initial the 15 kick-off cut off | :47:49. | :47:57. | |
when families had to scramble around for payment. Today families are too | :47:58. | :48:06. | |
often thrown into rooms to face adversarial questioning. I will ask | :48:07. | :48:13. | |
for parity of legal funding for families on the simple principle | :48:14. | :48:18. | |
that funding should be for the truth not investment of interests. Can I | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
ask if she is posing this vhew and whether she will work with ts to | :48:23. | :48:27. | |
establish this important prhnciple. He has rightly raised an issue that | :48:28. | :48:30. | |
has been a matter of signifhcant concern to the families who were | :48:31. | :48:36. | |
victims of the terrible tragedy in Hillsborough. He is right, the | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
original inquest system did not serve those families well and I am | :48:41. | :48:45. | |
pleased my right honourable friend the Attorney General was able to | :48:46. | :48:50. | |
reopen the inquest and we rdceived the verdicts we have seen. H have | :48:51. | :48:54. | |
asked the man who chaired the independent panel that lookdd into | :48:55. | :48:57. | |
the Hillsborough incident and has been chairing the family forums and | :48:58. | :49:04. | |
has been my advisor on this matter to you from the family is the and I | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
expect experiences about thd inquest process to be part of that. That is | :49:10. | :49:12. | |
why I wish to look at this hssue once we have the full picture from | :49:13. | :49:18. | |
the families. The point the right honourable gentleman has rahsed is | :49:19. | :49:21. | |
an important valid one but we need to look at the issue in a whder | :49:22. | :49:25. | |
sense and get all the experhence from the Hillsborough familhes | :49:26. | :49:27. | |
before we come to look at the inquest process. The four | :49:28. | :49:32. | |
agricultural students from Cirencester who read accused of rape | :49:33. | :49:37. | |
should you do not have to bd celebrity to suffer from thd trauma | :49:38. | :49:42. | |
of the case with the full glare of laxity. What protection can be Home | :49:43. | :49:46. | |
Secretary give the defendants as is the case with the accuser in order | :49:47. | :49:50. | |
that they lived some sort of equality? He makes a very portable | :49:51. | :49:57. | |
point that he has raised with me personally on a number of occasions | :49:58. | :50:01. | |
and it is right at the KC rdfers to has brought this into sharp focus. | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
It is the case that it is normally the practice of the lease that they | :50:06. | :50:09. | |
do not identify people before charge. We had a long debatd five | :50:10. | :50:15. | |
years ago about this issue. In our cases where the identificathon of | :50:16. | :50:18. | |
somebody can bring forward other victims and enhance a case so this | :50:19. | :50:25. | |
is not an easy alia to oper`te. There have been grave reports of | :50:26. | :50:33. | |
asylum seekers detained in removal centres of sexual assault. What can | :50:34. | :50:42. | |
be put in place for people who have experienced, but are detaindd with | :50:43. | :50:46. | |
others who have histories of violence? We take these alldgations | :50:47. | :50:52. | |
and removal centres extremely seriously which is why the report | :50:53. | :50:59. | |
has been identified as to how best we can identify those who are | :51:00. | :51:03. | |
vulnerable and we will be implementing further changes in the | :51:04. | :51:06. | |
months ahead to ensure thosd issues are very much brought to thd fore. | :51:07. | :51:13. | |
The Internet has brought with it great opportunities but sadly also a | :51:14. | :51:19. | |
much darker side and threats. Can my right honourable friend tell the | :51:20. | :51:23. | |
House what work is being done to ensure the defile to operatd | :51:24. | :51:25. | |
anonymously online are brought to justice? By honourable friend raises | :51:26. | :51:32. | |
an incredibly important point. We need to make sure that therd is no | :51:33. | :51:37. | |
safe lease for paedophiles to operate. She will now, I am sure, | :51:38. | :51:45. | |
that the child abuse database prop forward and the Prime Minister | :51:46. | :51:49. | |
instigated, has now been signed up to by all 43 forces and it hs really | :51:50. | :51:54. | |
now starting to see results in terms of identifying those victims, | :51:55. | :51:57. | |
identifying those children, safeguarding the children and | :51:58. | :52:00. | |
finding the perpetrators to make sure they can be brought to justice. | :52:01. | :52:08. | |
Yesterday saw even more newspaper allegations about problems with | :52:09. | :52:18. | |
contracts in Glasgow. Suggestions from G4S staff say these will be | :52:19. | :52:26. | |
extended come hell or high water. Can more be done before this is | :52:27. | :52:34. | |
decided? We are talking abott extending contracts in accordance | :52:35. | :52:42. | |
with the terms but it has ilproved standards of accommodation but | :52:43. | :52:45. | |
within our feelings we will take action. Last Monday my right | :52:46. | :52:49. | |
honourable friend the member for Reigate asked how many EU chtizens | :52:50. | :52:56. | |
had been deported during thd last four years. Now that I understand it | :52:57. | :53:00. | |
the question has been answered and we are called only 102 EU chtizens | :53:01. | :53:07. | |
have been deported. Does he not acknowledge that the deport`tion of | :53:08. | :53:12. | |
such a small number is rathdr were? I would underline to my honourable | :53:13. | :53:17. | |
friend that this government has removed over 30,000 foreign national | :53:18. | :53:22. | |
offenders since 2010 and in relation to the removal of those frol EU | :53:23. | :53:25. | |
countries that that has mord than tripled from 1000 in 2010/10 to | :53:26. | :53:42. | |
22,000 in 2015/ 16. The head of MI5 wrote to the then Prime Minhster | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
protesting about MI6 involvdment in rendition. This becomes increasing | :53:48. | :53:55. | |
weight concerning when a senior officer of MI6 was declined to be | :53:56. | :54:01. | |
prosecuted. Will he confirm that was written by the head of MI5? We do | :54:02. | :54:08. | |
not comment on documents th`t have apparently been weak from government | :54:09. | :54:13. | |
and that is the position and always has been. -- leaked. I have been | :54:14. | :54:24. | |
contacted by constituents expressing concerns over security in the | :54:25. | :54:30. | |
investigating Powers Bill. Can he explain how it will provide balance | :54:31. | :54:34. | |
but also essential protections detecting us against terrorhsm? My | :54:35. | :54:40. | |
honourable friend is right to raise this very poor to build. Thd | :54:41. | :54:44. | |
measures in the Bellerin essential for law enforcement and our security | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
and intelligence agencies to provide us from terrorism, organised crime, | :54:49. | :54:53. | |
paedophiles and others. I c`n ensure heart we're putting in placd world | :54:54. | :54:59. | |
leading measures and oversight arrangements to check the b`lance. | :55:00. | :55:11. | |
Will the Minister work the Secretary Of State with organisations such as | :55:12. | :55:16. | |
the Red Cross to explore alternative ways of submitting family rdunion | :55:17. | :55:20. | |
applications to avoid dangerous journeys? I think I can say safely, | :55:21. | :55:31. | |
yes. Grateful to the Ministdr, it shows what we can do when wd | :55:32. | :55:32. |
