Police Conduct and David Carrick

Debate between Nigel Evans and Lee Anderson

Tuesday 17th January 2023 Commons Chamber

[Lee Anderson (Ashfield) (Con)]

David Carrick is now one of the UK’s most prolific rapists, and he did that while serving as a police officer. It is utterly disgusting. Does the Home Secretary agree we should review sentencing laws? We have already done that for people who kill emergency workers, so how about reviewing the sentencing law so that if a police officer commits these horrible crimes, we increase their sentence? Does she also agree that the managers who knew about this should be sacked immediately—

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

Order. Please remember sub judice. We should not be talking about sentencing. Home Secretary, just answer the points you can.

Rail Strikes

Debate between Nigel Evans and Lee Anderson

Wednesday 15th June 2022 Commons Chamber

[Lee Anderson]

The hon. Gentleman makes a good point, and I have been on strike a few times myself. Does he think that any Opposition Member who has received a donation from the RMT should put that money in a pot to help people who suffer during next week’s rail strike? Does he also think that other MPs who have stolen money from the mineworkers—165 grand in the case of the hon. Member for Wansbeck (Ian Lavery) —should pay it back?

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

Order. Please withdraw that remark about stealing money.

[Lee Anderson]

No.

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

You have to.

[Lee Anderson]

No, he stole it.

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

No, you have to. I implore you to withdraw the remark. Please, Lee, withdraw the remark and sit down.

[Lee Anderson]

I withdraw the remark.

Cost of Living and Food Insecurity

Debate between Nigel Evans and Lee Anderson

Tuesday 8th February 2022 Commons Chamber

[Lee Anderson]

Will the hon. Gentleman give way?

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

Order. I do not believe Mr Lavery is going to give way, so please save your voice for the rest of the speech. [Interruption.]

--- Later in debate ---

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

Please withdraw that word.

[Lee Anderson]

Mr Deputy Speaker, I am sure that the hon. Member is not a coward.

Rail Investment and Integrated Rail Plan

Debate between Nigel Evans and Lee Anderson

Wednesday 8th December 2021 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

Order. Before I call Grahame Morris, I must say that I understand that during your contribution, Mr Anderson, you referred to another Member stealing, which is clearly unacceptable language. Will you please withdraw that?

[Lee Anderson]

Yes, the debate with the hon. Member for Wansbeck (Ian Lavery) did get a little bit heated. I apologise if I called him a thief but, just for the record, I am not a scab.

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

I did not hear the word scab being used; had I done so, I would have called that Member up as well. In the memory of Jo Cox, we really do have to have a far better atmosphere in this Chamber. I hope we can now start to move on with that.
