Chaos in the Civil Service Pension Scheme under Capita is causing distress and hardship to my constituents, people who have worked and paid into their pensions all their lives. I spoke in today's debate to ask what sanctions will be put in place to hold Capita to account.

Since I raised this last week, I welcome reports that the Government will proscribe Iran’s IRGC, which has killed thousands of innocent Iranians. The Government should announce a timetable for bringing the necessary legislation to Parliament in the next few weeks – no delays.

Unfair rent hikes continue to pile pressure on struggling tenants. I welcome that the Government has taken action with the Renters Rights Act. But ministers must be prepared to go further if the affordability crisis continues.

Schools in my constituency are doing fantastic work, but funding constraints mean that they are under increasing pressure. I asked the Government to ensure that schools in the most disadvantaged areas have enough resources to meet the level of need.

My constituent, Ellis Cox, was just 19 when he was murdered on 23 June last year. There is a reward of up to £20,000 for information that brings those responsible to justice. Today Ellis' family renewed their appeal for information and safety measures on Aintree Loop Line.

Last night, I spoke in Parliament on behalf of my constituent, a veteran of the Falklands War. He received blood transfusions – and was later diagnosed with Hepatitis B – but that fact has never been formally recognised, potentially precluding him from support he is entitled to.

The introduction of the Hillsborough Law to Parliament is a monumental step forward in ensuring that truth and justice can never be concealed by the state again. What a legacy for the 97 and all the families and campaigners who fought so hard for so long.

This week's parliamentary proceedings on welfare reform descended into chaos, but I welcome that the Government has now listened to concerns and will no longer make changes to PIP until after a review co-produced with disabled people. This approach should have been taken from the start.

Connection with loved ones is not an optional extra – it is essential to dignified care. The Government must deliver on the promise for a legal right to maintain contact in care settings, so that no one is isolated when they need support the most.
