it's possible that the home office has come up with... rains have come up with a very good scheme, but i would simply urge the home secretary and the home office to look very carefully at the lessons that have been learned in the past. and gender wars on the committee corridor. the more socialist the country, perhaps the better. i'm not going to be lectured by a man on the best place to be a woman. i don't think you've got any equity in this. all that to come and more. but first, the last day at westminster before the key european summit in brussels was dominated by speculation about whether a brexit deal might be done and what the stumbling blocks to an agreement might be. negotiations had continued into tuesday night and resumed on wednesday morning. mps, like the rest of us, tried to find out what was going on. members of the brexit committee wanted to know if there was no deal by the weekend, would borisjohnson obey the law, known as the benn act, which would oblige him to ask the eu to delay brexit untiljanuary. can you confirm that i

so, it's possible the home office has come up with, you know... t i would simply urge the home secretary and the home office to look very carefully at the lessons that have been learned in the past in relation to points—based systems, which in themselves are not an answer to controlling immigration and can allow abuse to take place. there was universal condemnation of the racist abuse targeted at england's black footballers during monday's euro 2020 match in bulgaria — and widespread praise for the way the team responded to that abuse. this is a deeply serious issue, but i think it would be fair to say that it has been some while... i have never wanted england football team to win, and to win so well, until last night. and i'm delighted that they did their talking on the pitch. but, of course, they should have the right to walk off the pitch in these circumstances if they so choose. but it would be wrong to portray these disgusting scenes last night as isolated incidences. the truth is that they aren't. racist chants and abuse form part of a growin

the home office said there going...partly due to better reporting and recording by police forces, but there was a spike in incidents after terror attacks in 2017 and the eu referendum. figures show few of these cases are being solved. police forces are under pressure to do more to catch those responsible. the time is 1:16pm. our top story this lunchtime. the eu's chief brexit negotiator michel barnier says adr needs to be agreed by tonight if it is to be signed off at the eu leaders summit this week. and coming up, mps called on former thomas cook bosses to hand back bonuses to help employees after the travel firm collapsed. coming up on bbc news, with uefa under pressure to act following last night's racist behaviour in bulgaria, we will assess what response is likely to come from european football's governing body. pressure is growing on turkey over its attack on kurdish forces in northern syria. overnight economic sanctions were imposed on this morning britain has announced they will be no new arms sales to turkey. p

latest figures from the home office in england and wales in the 12 months up to march this year show ack, asian and other minority ethnic groups. in scotland and northern ireland, just 1% of all staff are from these backgrounds, and looking at the number of promotions over the same period in england and wales, just 1.3% were given to women of colour. long serving police officers and campaigners say change has been too slow as the numbers have only marginally improved over the last ten years or so. in certain forces, there are no black women and in other forces you have no black women and no asian women. having someone look at you as being talented and encouraging you to go for that, the likelihood of them leaving is greater. and it has not been easy, even for those working at the highest level of policing. assistant chief constable kerrin wilson is the only senior woman of colour in england and wales. i only had two 0—levels, certainly didn't have a background in policing and some of my family members were probably more on the other side of the tracks to policing. memories of policing

i am receiving regular updates, and the home office will work closely with essex police as we establishs happened. my right honourable friend, the home secretary, will make a statement immediately after these questions. can we just think for a moment of what it must've been like for those 39 people, obviously in a desperate and dangerous situation, for their lives to end, suffocated to death in a container? this is an unbelievable human tragedy that's happened in our country at this time. we obviously need to look at the whole situation and answers to what happened there. but also, i do pay an enormous tribute to the emergency services who have gone on to the scene to deal with it. all of us who just think for a moment of what it's like to be a police officer or firefighter — to open that container and have to remove 39 bodies from it, and deal with them in an appropriate and humane way — we should just think for a moment of what inhumanity has done to other human beings at this terrible moment. well, as boris johnson mentioned straight after prime minister's questions, the home secreta

last weekend, the home office deported a former gurkha despite 13 years of service in the british armyy've been in the british forces now for almost 200 years. the bravest soldiers i have ever served with. the way the government has treated them is disgraceful. the newspapers got involved and we received massive support from the media and the british public. it has been a long battle. five years ago, the government ruled only gurkhas who retired after 1997 could settle in britain. they took their battle to the doors of downing street with a quarter of a million signatures on the petition. still the government resisted, untiljoanna lumley took command. whenjoanna lumley got involved, she was instrumental. her celebrity status helped the whole campaign. her father served with my regiment. he was an officer in the 6th gurkha rifles. there was no gurkha present during the closed door meeting. we fought so hard for nine years and to be left out when the crucial policty was made was a big let down in itself. our campaign was for equality, equal pensions and settlement. it could be any gurkha

particularly small businesses like restaurants, this morning going to the home office and i had to step i absolutely take his point about disabled members of this house and the other place, and it has been difficult enough when you are able—bodied to getting here, but never mind being disabled. there's something else i observed this morning which is that i took the bus in, and it was apparent that the bus could only get me to piccadilly circus, which is fine for me, because i can walk up but for people who cannot afford to take the tube they could actually be forced to take the two of this morning would not have gotten in. and that stands for disabled people. so i completely accept the point that he is taking or that he is making, i know the police are in discussion and that half the sites have now been cleared, but we are endeavouring to clear out the other half. a former commons speaker, lady boothroyd — who was celebrating her 90th birthday — added her voice to the criticism. 0ver many years, i read out the session of orders which were accepted by the house at the beginning of every
