Independent Investigation of IDF actions is needed
I raised a point of order after a minister contradicted a previous Tory commitment to seek an independent investigation into the Israeli Defence Force's killing of British aid workers.

Infected Blood scandal

Chi Onwurah (Newcastle upon Tyne Central) (Lab) The “Space Investigators” exhibition at the Great North Museum celebrates the amazing history of the north-east in designing and manufacturing telescopes. What support does the Minister offer so that regions such as ours can better understand and promote our great industrial heritage? https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2024-04-18/debates/8B961408-4472-4B80-8076-B856999E140A/TopicalQuestions#
Leasehold Reform – meeting with Minister
Howard and Phyll from Newcastle joined me to meet the Housing Minister about leasehold reform. Kafkaesque leasehold laws allow the Mary Magdalene & Holy Jesus Trust to make their lives a misery, holding their futures hostage. We need Government to listen and, crucially, to act.
