Oral Answers to Questions

Stephen Crabb Excerpts

Tuesday 14th December 2021 Commons Chamber

[Dominic Raab]

I am not going to respond to claims or anonymous reports in the papers about what the security services may or may not say, but I am absolutely clear that the reforms that we will take will strengthen our protection in a whole range of areas that have been undermined by the Human Rights Act.

[Stephen Crabb (Preseli Pembrokeshire) (Con)]
