Business of the House

Debate between Caroline Nokes and Connor Rand

Thursday 4th December 2025 Commons Chamber

[Mr Connor Rand (Altrincham and Sale West) (Lab)]

Thankfully, my constituent survived this horrific ordeal, but both he and his parents were staggered to learn that the attacker has been released on bail. I share the deep concerns of the victim, his friends who witnessed the attack and all their parents about this decision, so could the Leader of the House help me raise—

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Caroline Nokes)]
