>> before we come with our questions. >> number one especially to those celebrating. aunt mr. speaker as we prepare

for holocaust memorial day i'm sure the whole house will germane paying tribute to the extraordinary courage britons holocaust survivors including 94-year-old who was with us here today. some government will legislate to build a holocaust memorial and learning center next to parliament testimonies of survivors like eric will be hurt at the heart of our democracy by every generation accompanied mrd meetings with minister colleagues and others addition to my duties in the house i have further such meetings later today. >> thank you, mr. speaker. shockingly one in six women in the uk have economic abuse this is not just of the resources food, housing or what. every man across this house.

what plans to view in detail government department and policies the weight government and can be exploited to ensure these loopholes can be closed. >> prime minister. >> mr. speaker, young lady raises an important point and let me assure for this is my mark abuse bill coercive control stocking and others women and girls feel as safe as they deserve and they should be. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i am of we received the 25 million pounds brand-new

donkey facility since my election 2019. mr. speaker will be prime minister meet with me and counsel to discuss our leveling and how we can ensure such that in the next round? my honorable friend is a great advocate for his constituents. i am delighted has received 25 million pounds from the town fun for i know there will be disappointment i'll be very happy to meet them further to discuss. this week will remember the

6 million jews although scarred by genocide since is holocaust memorial day. we must all commit across this house to defeat prejudice and hatred were ever we may find it. to work the future we must find light in the darkness. wishing everyone. >> mr. speaker, zara lena was walking home with her friends when she was savagely attacked, assaulted and beaten to death. zara was a brilliant young woman training lawyer with a bright future. her killer is a violent racist woman hating thug not fit to walk the same streets. but that is precisely the problem. he doesn't walk the same streets.

the opportunities were missed by the probation service that could have prevented this attack and saved her life. as a prime minister except those findings is a truly terrible time. has found that failing others were serious and indeed unacceptable. in both of the cases on initial risk segment assessment steps are being taken to address issues. so glad to accept those findings. the report also says something excessive work load contributed to both fateful failures. makes absolutely clear it with not a one off. as reports that these are systemic issues.

the kuwait mysteries responsibilities of the prime minister except those findings as well? >> prime minister, mr. speaker limit outline for you exactly what steps we are taking. that is to include ensure mandatory training to improve risk assessments is put in place for its mandate be checked with the police and children services before a probation officer can recommend to the court a convicted offender begin it electronically monitored in implementing new to guarantee the swift recall of offenders. the action we are taking is already making a difference as for example we see in the reduction of the number of electronically monitored curfews being given by the court. >> mr. speaker the tragically and fatefully let zara down.

but across the country probation services are failing. after a botched reverse privatization, after decades of underinvestment it's yet another public service on its knees after 13 years of government. i spoke to her family this morning. it is hard to convey to this house the agony they have been through. they sate the government has a blood on their hands over these feelings. accepted the findings of the report does he also accept what her family's sake? >> prime minister. >> mr. speaker at my heart of course goes out to her family. he mentions accountability the probation services have taken action or failings have been found and where it has been appropriate regard to the overall service because the extra investment we are putting in there's no wonder 55 million pounds a year being

put into the probation server so that we can deserve a better supervision of offenders for there's also been an increase in the number of senior probation officers. but one of the other things we must remember mr. speaker if we do and to increase the safety of women and girls out on our streets when he tough sentencing that is why this government passed the police a crime incentive act with the honorable gentlemen and his party opposed. [background noises] >> and light of the case i really don't think the prime minister should be boasting about protection he is putting in place for women. i'm not going to take lectures from him about that. does the prime minister agree any politician who seeks to avoid the taxes they owe in this country is not fit to be in charge of taxpayer money? >> well, mr. speaker i'm pleased

to make my petition on this matter completely clear. the issues in question occurred before i was prime minister. with regard to the appointment the usual appointments as follows. no issues were raised with me when he was appointed to his current role. and since i commented on this matter last week more information has come forward. that is why have the independent advisor to look into the matter. now i obviously cannot prejudge the outcome of that. but it is right we fully investigate this matter and establish all of the facts.

>> mr. speaker. >> anybody watching with think it is fairly obvious someone who seeks to avoid tasks also cannot be in charge of tax. for some reason prime minister cannot bring himself to say that our knowledge the question. last week the prime minister told this house the chair of the party addressed affairs in full under which nothing to add. this week after days of public pressure the prime minister now says there are serious questions to answer. what changed? >> prime minister. >> mr. speaker. i read from prepared sheets he should read what i actually listen to what i actually say. [background noises] since i commented on this matter last week of more information including a statement by the

minister into the public domain which is why we establish the facts. and mr. speaker let me take a step back. now of course, of course the politically expedient thing to do would be for me too have said this matter must be resolved by wednesday at noon. but i believe improper due process. that is why i appointed an independent advisor and that's why the independent advisor is doing his job. the opposition can't have it both ways. also his party chair boasts, purge me and the government to appoint an independent advisor. now he objects that independent advisor doing their job. it is simple political opportunism and everyone can see through it.

we all know of the prime minister's reluctant to ask his party chair questions about family finance and tax avoidance. [laughter] [background noises] is failure to sack him in the whole country could see what was going on shows how hopelessly weak he is. prime minister overseeing chaos for whelmed at every turn. he cannot say ambulance will get the heart attack victims again. he cannot say when the prison system will keep prison safe again. he cannot deal with tax avoiders in his own cabinet. is he starting to wonder if this job is just too big for him? [cheering]

>> mr. speaker. mr. speaker the difference between him and me i sat on my values and principal even when it is difficult. when i disagree fundamentally with the previous prime minister i resigned from the government. for four long years he sat next to the members. when anti-semitism ran right when his predecessor sided with our opponents that was week mr. speaker he had no samples. thank you very much mr. speaker. for our most vulnerable children school is often the principal place of safety as well as education. but as reported in my review of

school exclusions with the government 2019 the unacceptable and illegal use of off rolling is still shutting a warring number of children out of the classroom, out of learning it out of the protection they need from gangs, violence and abuse. there has been some impressive and excellent work done by the department of education to address this terrible practice, what more can my right honorable friend do to make sure we permanently exclude from our schools? >> prime minister. >> might honorable friend raises an important issue the government is clear it is unlawful and unacceptable in any form. the department for education continues to work to tackle it. i will always be addressed in the inspection report and could also lead to a school's leadership being judged in adequate. then on pics mr. speaker, let me start by echoing the sentiments

of the prime minister and leader of the opposition. clearly horrific time we must never forget and it denver to ensure we never repeated. i send my heartfelt thoughts to the firefighter serious condition this morning following the blaze edinburg just a few days ago. mr. speaker, matt asked the prime minister what advice would he have for individuals seeking to protect their personal finances? should they seek out a future chair of the bbc to help secure? should they set up a trust in gibraltar and hope they simply don't notice? or should they do has others have done and simply apply for status?

[background noises] [inaudible] >> mr. speaker, mr. speaker will be sure of the honorable gentlemen extending my sympathies to the families in the firefighter and also to hear that and wish him a speedy recovery. mr. speaker i'm proud of the record of this in government and supporting the most vulnerable in our society. just this winter helping families 900 pounds for their energy bills, waving the national living wage to record levels and ensuring pension gets the support they need. that is what this government is doing to ensure financial security in this country. >> i'm not sure what question the prime minister that definitely was not it mr. speaker. but let's be clear about this. this is not a matter of the prime minister's own integrity. there are questions about secretary relations to national security he chose to back appointed chair of the party he

is choosing to back despite 5 million pounds of penalty. and of course he speaking to protect the former prime minister despite his cozy financial relationship with the chair of the bbc. is it little wonder people in scotland may consider the party to be a parcel of a robust? >> mr. speaker. mr. speaker. what i am standing up is improper due process. thus i have an independent advisor conducted an investigation but is how we will ensure accountability. >> thank you, mr. speaker. wells has almost 40 times more people than england winning two years having less than 5% of the population. which is a disservice to my constituents in delhi. the prime minister confirm that

remains concerned about the health care of the people in wales? given could he come up with the way of putting the welsh labour government to special measures? >> prime minister by. >> mr. speaker is honorable gentlemen that is facing pressure because of some of the challenges of covid in particular focus on delivering on the people's priorities and bringing bringing down the backlog we currently already eliminated waste of over two years and as a judgment says there's more to go. investing this week into mental health treatment we could increase further and we continue to deliver that across the country by. >> asked mr. speaker, can i echo the comments of the prime minister in relation to holocaust memorial day. think of the situation in ukraine we send our best wishes to president zelenskyy on his

birthday today. freedom of religion or belief is important in this country. isabel vaughn spruce whispering silently outside in abortion clinic in birmingham when she was arrested and questioned by the police, not about her written or spoken words but about her thoughts. we value freedom of religion or belief in this country. will the prime minister committed to examine the laws of the united kingdom to ensure this country remains a beacon for freedom of religion or belief across the world? >> mr. speaker, of course, of course, of course we believe in this country but we also are balancing that with the right for women to seek legal and safe abortions currently being discussed in this parliament. these are always matters of free kino members will treat them with the sensitivity they

deserve. >> thank you, mr. speaker. innocent civilians are being murdered in ukraine on putin's orders as we speak. as we seek warm house of commons llamas are freezing because electricity is being cut off by russian forces. putin believes ukraine is more foreign to him than the free world is moving so ukrainians must make gains on the battlefield in the next six months are crucial. they need a full range of weapons mr. speaker air defense, artillery, missiles and tanks enough to and i ask them my right honorable man to use domestic and international to honor the courage of the people of ukraine and to defend the whole world order because ultimately that is what we are really talking about. >> here.

>> mr. speaker i've made clear that uk and our allies must accelerate our efforts to make sure you create winds and to curate lasting peace lasted in a kingdom 3 billion pounds military aid the largest activity european nation we will at least match that again this year with my right honorable friend note last week i announced battle tanks as part of the next package. i'm pleased our friends and allies are preparing to follow our lead. rick splendid has no prime property, shopping, even the perfect time zone for money laundering. while there has been movement with russian oligarch we note their relatives we all content on both sides that are running bogus islamic senses to stash

their duty cash and other things. when will the nca be adequately financed so we can be a world leader in anticorruption as we promise in 2016? was their political will to upset the apple cart? >> mr. speaker. the honorable lead to nowhere in in the process of legislating the economic crime bill which puts in place many more measures to tackle some of the issues that she rates it introduced the crime lab which will provide considerably more funding to tackle crime in the uk. >> thank you, mr. speaker. the real upgrade is underway which is good news. with stations getting improvements. but what's not such good news mr. speaker is the dozens of daily rail service which is

causing absolute misery for my constituents trying to get to work, trying to get to college, trying to visit family and friends. the franchise is up and make does the prime minister agree with me enough is enough? don't get to grips with this we need to strip them of the franchise and get somebody in who will deliver the reliable rail services for my constituents. >> mr. speaker we have been clear the current service is simply not acceptable but rail north of partnership is working with the company on a service improvement plan. my honorable friend is having weekly meetings with them. as he honorable judgment points out contract does expire in may of there currently discussions about that new contract the operator cannot be turned around other decisions may be made. >> mr. speaker. firm wando schedule of missing

children refugees in campaign outside parliament to highlight the insights of a hostile environment on the people and migration. resident cruel gimmicks like rwanda, it is in the best way saving lives, breaking the business models of criminal gangs to introduce safe and legal roots to claim asylum. >> mr. speaker. it is about fairness experience for this to see could come here illegally prince about fairness for those who are here and our ability to integrate and support those. what we will do is embrace the cycle of criminal gangs which are causing misery leading to death. that's why we would introduce legislation that makes it clear if you come here illegally we will be able to detain you and swiftly remove you to a safe country. that's a reasonable and commonsense approach the vast majority of the british public

support. >> he prime minister be aware of my concern that mental health patients should not be forced to act as emergency departments for what they really need is specialist care. can you say it more about the extra money that's being made available for urgent mental health care facilities? it also what impacts he thanks that will have first on the treatment of mental health patients but also on the general situation? >> prime minister rick wicks might right honorable friend it is absolute right. people in mental health crisis deserve compassionate care and is safe and appropriate setting. too often they end up in a and e when they should be receiving specialist treatment elsewhere. this week's announcement is mental health ... crisis cafés crisis houses mental health urgent treatment centers will make sure patients to get the vital help they need while pressure on emergency department freeing up some type might right honorable friend is to highlight

this issue are announcement this week will make a huge difference for. >> as a trustee of the holocaust moral this week i was honored to hear a holocaust survivor who came to this country by herself at the age of eight because her parents believed that uk was a safe haven for honorable children. this week i also read the government own statistic which said there are 200 asylum seeking unaccompanied children who are missing from hotels in the uk. they have admitted they have no idea on the whereabouts could ask the prime minister jesse still think the uk is a safe haven for children? >> mr. speaker. the united kingdom has opened up its heart and home to hundreds of thousands of people over the last few years from sierra, from afghanistan, from ukraine, from hong kong has provided refuge

and sanctuary to many children. but the reports we read about are concerning for local authorities have a duty to protect all children regardless of where they go missing from. in that situation they were close to the local agencies including the police to establish their whereabouts. that's why it's so important and the use of hotels unaccompanied asylum-seekers reduce pressure on the overall system that is what our plans will do. >> mr. speaker. constituents very much welcome the energy bill that helped 99% united kingdom with rising fuel prices despite putin's barbaric war in ukraine. can the prime minister assured my constituents that he is committed to continue helping with the cost of living. not only this winter but next winter? >> my honorable friend this

governments to support all families with cost to link this winter run nine or pounds of support next year it will still be that support families with around 500 pounds of support. and top of record increases in the record living wage 1600 pounds and supporting our pension and the most with inflation. >> in 2020 when the government enabled former shaft of putamen to sanctions to pursue a case in london against british journalist elliott higgins who will expose linked. believes higgins would get his sanctions lifted the overriding case action approved by the treasury when the prime minister. english lawyers wrote that i quote will require treasury approval.

so what values in the prime minister apply when he allowed a putin warlord to used to try to silence the british journalist and undermined uk sanctions? >> i'm proud sanctioning those people connect with the putin regime. it's over 1000 people and tens of billions of pounds of assets. i'm aware of the rate we are looking at it. the is as you know os aside to deal with the licensing situation in these matters but i'm happy to get back to him on the specific case anyway.

doing later today will. >> executed by order of the regime. they made efforts to protect the lives of a british national. they want to hear but they are

struggling. today they will hear what sanctions he would impose on the regime. it's typical with effect to its regards of basic dignity. they provide answers and other circumstances. we have actually pressed the regime through and will continue to do so until the family get the answers they deserve and several members connected with the case.

does he agree with me what was promised. >> my honorable friend is a champion for the community and at the results we were lucky enough to visit her last week. they are spreading opportunity making jobs.

they are so run down and the defense has been hollowed out. what's he going to do about that? >> to make sure we are one of the leading and we will continue to ensure that we have one of the best equipped forces anywhere in the world for the safety of our allies around the world. >> to pray for the firefighters

in scotland tonight while we come the other way. the accounts have done a fantastic job building new houses and houses. and we can protect the children's in my constituency. >> of the honorable gentle man and i join to ensure we make sure our young people can fulfill the dream of homeownership but he's also right to say that we should protect the greenbelt everywhere as we keep our local areas

useful. they said the cost of living had increased and had been negatively affected to be a member of the european union. 4% reduction in two fifths of which have already happened. dave served to exacerbate facing these. >> mr. speaker the impact that it's hand has nothing to do. what we are doing is showing we can support those pressures and that's why we provided those energy bills and the national living wage until we can bring inflation back to where it

belongs. >> i know the prime minister will share my concerns this morning 730 people may use their jobs one of the largest reforms. the constituents affected by this news at this difficult time. >> i am sorry to hear about the job losses. if there are procedures in place to support communities when situations like this arise and we will work closely for a good well-paid jobs to everyone that is the best way to build a happy and secure life. >> both physical and mental

well-being. if the prime minister agrees why is the government not providing them the final support they need? >> of course i agree it's important and that's why we provided significant support during covid and beyond. i'm sure it would benefit many organizations in the constituency. >> it is covered by the house

resolution and should not be referred to in this house. it is of course open to the resolution in particular it's not happened in this case and so therefore should not be discussed at all. i will leave it at that
