Birmingham Attacks and Extinction Rebellion Protests

Debate between Kit Malthouse and Andrea Jenkyns

Monday 7th September 2020 Commons Chamber

[Andrea Jenkyns (Morley and Outwood) (Con)]

With fewer hard-working commuters to disrupt, Extinction Rebellion is trying to attack the freedom of the press by stopping newspapers being printed and delivered. Will my hon. Friend reassure the House and the country that the police have the resources and the support they need to fully enforce the law and ensure that everyone abides by the same rules?

[Kit Malthouse]

I can reassure my hon. Friend that police forces within the area and surrounding it were able to deploy significant assets to both incidents in fast time.

What is the Department doing to make sure that Help to Buy is more accessible for those on lower incomes?

[Kit Malthouse]

As my hon. Friend knows, the Department spends an enormous amount of time and energy promoting Help to Buy to those who are eligible, and the new Help to Buy scheme, which will come in once the current scheme finishes, will be targeted very carefully at first-time buyers. I am more than happy to take any suggestions she may have for how we can focus it more on those on lower incomes.
