That this House welcomes the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street; pays tribute to the tens of thousands of Jewish East Enders and socialist, trade unionist, and anti-fascist allies who stood together to halt the antisemitic march of Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists; celebrates the rich cultural and political history of the Jewish community in East London; notes that the events at Cable Street remain a defining example of cross-community solidarity, which has influenced subsequent generations of East Londoners resisting racism, fascism and discrimination; expresses concern at the contemporary rise of antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism and far-right extremism in the UK and across Europe, including attacks on synagogues and mosques, and against minority communities, refugees, and asylum seekers; and reaffirms that all people have a responsibility to oppose racism, antisemitism, and intolerance in the spirit of the Cable Street protestors.

That this House deeply regrets the announcement by high street bakery retailer Greggs that it plans to close four manufacturing sites across the UK with the loss of 740 jobs; notes that the plans involve closing manufacturing sites at Seaham, North Lakes, Kelso, and Enfield, with operations in Treforest and Manchester also seriously impacted; further notes that in the first half of 2026, the company saw its pre-tax profit increase by 19.7% to £76.0 million; joins with the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union in believing that this success would be impossible without the contribution of workers across the business, and regrets the impact which job losses would have on the individuals, families and local communities concerned; regrets that the company announced these plans further to any formal consultation process with the recognised unions; and therefore calls on the company to pause the implementation of the closures and get round the table with the unions to consider alternatives to site closures and compulsory redundancies.

That this House notes that major banks have made tens of billions of pounds in additional profits as interest rates have increased in recent years; further notes that this has happened while millions of people struggle with higher mortgage payments and rents and a wider cost-of-living crisis; also notes analysis estimating that a tax on bank windfall profits could raise up to £15 billion a year; recognises that the Government rightly applied a windfall tax to the super-profits of oil and gas companies; believes that the same principle should apply to the banks; and further believes that the Government should introduce a tax on bank windfall profits, with the revenues used to support people with the cost-of-living and to invest in public services.

That this House welcomes the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland's ruling to overturn the decision by the Parades Commission to permit an Orange Order march down the Garvaghy Road; recalls that in 1998, the Orange Order, an exclusively Protestant group, applied to parade down the Garvaghy Road which was predominantly home to nationalist families; understands that the application was refused and, during the subsequent widespread protests, three young Catholic boys were burnt to death in an arson attack on their home; is aware that the current ambiguity surrounding this march threatened to reopen a painful chapter in Northern Ireland’s history, jeopardising nearly three decades of peace, stability, and reconciliation achieved under the Good Friday Agreement; notes that the proposed parade has been criticised by significant sections of the Protestant community; further notes that allowing this march to proceed, in any form of guise, risks undoing the hard-won progress and reopening old wounds which does not reflect the content of either the Good Friday agreement or Stormont House Agreement; and urges the Government to ensure this legacy is upheld permanently.

That this House commemorates with pride the 90th anniversary of the Jarrow Crusade; commends the 200 proud and courageous marchers who set off from Jarrow for London on 5 October 1936 to deliver their petition to Parliament; recognises that the marchers sought to be seen as orderly, responsible and dignified people who deserved the right to work and to provide for their families; acknowledges the hardship and deprivation endured by the people of Jarrow during the Great Depression; further recognises the extraordinary pride, solidarity and togetherness which the Crusade inspired and which remain central to the town’s identity today; pays tribute to the people of Jarrow and the town’s Member of Parliament Ellen Wilkinson, who united in a determined and peaceful effort to demand that the authorities listen to their community; regrets that Parliament and the Government of the day failed to respond positively to the marchers’ plea for employment and did not treat their cause with the respect it deserved; celebrates the 290-mile march as a powerful symbol of community strength, dignity and determination in the face of adversity; and further pays tribute to the enduring legacy of the Jarrow Crusade, which continues to inspire pride in Jarrow and has secured the town a lasting place in the history of social justice and the fight for the right to work.

That this House expresses its grave concern at the mounting evidence emerging from the Undercover Policing Inquiry (UCPI) of extremely serious police misconduct and corruption on a scale far outstripping expectations at the Inquiry’s inception; welcomes the numerous apologies issued by the Metropolitan Police Service for misconduct which includes but is not limited to abusive sexual misconduct by officers, the theft of dead children's identities, and unjustifiable spying on campaign and community groups; recognises the vital importance to survivors of truth, accountability and answers; acknowledges that the work of the UCPI is far from complete, with key aspects of its terms of reference outstanding, including Tranches 4 and 5, which deal with the most recent and relevant undercover deployments, carried out under the existing regulatory framework and guidelines, such as the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, and Module 3, recommendations for the future; urges the Home Office to urgently appoint an expert panel and a new Chair, and ensure resources are available to complete the Terms of Reference in full under the Inquiries Act 2005; and calls for steps to be taken to ensure candour and openness from the state parties under investigation, with a clear process for prompt disclosure of evidence to survivors that prevents the excessive secrecy and the resulting delays that have plagued the Inquiry to date.

That this House recognises the December 2025 findings of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) investigations relating to Sir Norman Bettison and the circumstances surrounding his application for the post of Chief Constable of Merseyside in 1998; notes the IOPC view that had Bettison still been serving, he would have had a case to answer for gross misconduct, for deliberate dishonesty in relation to his explanation of his involvement in the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster during his application for, and appointment to, the post, that he underplayed the extent of his role in the aftermath of the disaster, and that he would have a case to answer for continually providing misleading and inaccurate press statements minimising his role to one on the periphery of the post-disaster investigations carried out by SYP; urges the Honours Forfeiture Committee to take these findings into account in the case of Bettison, which it says is "under consideration"; believes that Bettison’s knighthood should be rescinded for the reason he is unworthy to retain it and in order to preserve the integrity of the honours system; and expresses the importance of this action, as the only remaining meaningful sanction Bettison can face, owing to his retirement from the police service in 2013, as officers who retired before 2017 cannot face charges despite IOPC conclusions.

That this House supports members of the Public and Commercial Services union employed across the Victoria and Albert Museum who are taking strike action for improvements to pay, health and safety, and meaningful trade union engagement; recognises that trade unions have been negotiating the 2026-27 pay award since February, but that no acceptable agreement has been reached; calls on the V&A to become an accredited London Living Wage employer to maintain London Living Wage protection for the lowest paid staff and extend it to outsourced workers, to meet the union’s modest pay demand of 4 per cent for staff above the lowest band and for fairer compensation for bank holiday working; is concerned that Visitor Assistants at V&A Storehouse are not allowed to carry or drink from water bottles while in position, despite staff at other V&A sites being allowed to do so, and calls on the employer to meaningfully engage on this and other serious health and safety issues including the failure to adopt consistent heatwave protections across all sites and providing adequate seating for staff; and further calls on Victoria and Albert Enterprises to renegotiate recognition and facilities agreements so that union representatives can engage constructively with management and urges the museum’s director, Tristram Hunt, to meet with the unions to resolve the damaging dispute.

That this House is deeply concerned that the National Gallery’s security staff, of whom the vast majority are from minority ethnic backgrounds, are being unfairly treated compared to the mainly white staff employed directly by the National Gallery; notes that directly employed staff enjoy a six-star staff hub with bright and airy recreation rooms for their breaks, while outsourced guards employed by CIS Security are forced to use a windowless unventilated basement storage area; regrets the effect of creating a two-tier workforce where BAME staff are literally kept hidden away among broken furniture, dirty walls and continuing rodent problems; recognises that both the National Gallery and CIS Security are London Living Wage employers and that when they gained accreditation, the National Gallery backdated the uplift for six months, while CIS Security did not; and joins the PCS union in calling on the gallery to ensure its security staff receive equal treatment to the directly employed staff, be given access to the staff hub, receive back pay on the same line as the National Gallery staff they work alongside, and to receive the uplift at the same time of year, rather than waiting six months each year.
