00:04I want to pay tribute to the Right Honourable Member for Holborn and St Pancras.
00:12He has given this country a lifetime of public service, particularly for those fighting for
00:19justice.
00:22This summer has shown us that his leadership took our party from one of its worst defeats
00:28to its best victories and created a platform to change this country for the better.
00:35We will use it well, Mr Speaker, and we wish his family the very best for the future.

00:47It will oversee the Right Honourable Member.

01:52in this appalling tragedy.
01:54This is what the climate crisis looks like.
02:03We have just ourselves experienced what is likely to have been the hottest summer on record.
02:09This Government will meet the climate challenge, and I can confirm to the House that I will
02:15attend COP31 in Turkey in November.
02:20Taking back control of essential services like transport…
02:23Tomorrow, when I welcome President Macron to the UK, on the occasion of the opening of
02:28the exhibition of the Bayeux Tapestry, I will thank him for the cooperation that has enabled
02:33us to prevent over 48,000 people crossing.
02:37Cornwall lacks a basic level of infrastructure which…
02:41We took an early decision to exempt rape, grooming and serious child sex offences, and fast-track
02:49work to see if we could go further, hearing calls from the family of PC Andrew Harper and
02:57many others.
02:58This is the way, Mr Speaker, we will build a pro…
03:02We are now confirming that anyone convicted of manslaughter, death by dangerous driving or
03:08indecent assault, will not now see any change to their prison term.
03:15We will find additional prison places by deporting more foreign national offenders and finally
03:22grasping the nettle on an issue this House has ignored for too long – indefinite IPP sentences.
