Order. Questions to the Prime Minister?

Mr George Howard.

Question number one, Mr. Speaker.

The Prime Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary of the Westminster terrorist attack. It was a sick and depraved

attack on the streets of our capital. But what I remember most is the exceptional bravery

of our police and security services who risk their lives to keep us safe. I know members

will be attending the events tomorrow and over the weekend to mark this tragic anniversary.

Mr. Speaker, I'm sure the whole House will also wish to join me in expressing our sincere condolences

to the family and friends of the Red Arrows Engineer who tragically died in the aircraft incident at RAF Valley yesterday.

I know members across the House also will wish

to join me in congratulating Andrea Zafiraku, who recently won the Global Teacher Prize.

It is a fitting tribute for everything she has done, and I look forward to meeting her shortly

to congratulate her in person. Mr. Speaker, this morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others and in

addition to my duties in this House I shall have further such meetings later today.

George Howarth.

I'm sure Mr. Speaker, the whole House would want to be associated with both the condolences

and congratulations that the Prime

Minister has just expressed. Since 2010, Merseyside Police have lost 1,084 police officers.

In 2017, crime in Noseley went up by 18.5% and there were 21 firearm discharges, one of which resulted

in a fatality. And across the force area, there were 94 firearm discharges with four fatalities.
