Former Labour MP for Walsall North (31 Mar 1966 – 3 May 2017)
John Bercow: ...inquire when the promised reply or meeting would take place. In my experience, Sir Gerald was remarkably effective at obtaining such responses, as indeed was the former Member for Walsall North, Mr David Winnick. The hon. Lady may usefully learn from their and many other examples.
Eddie Hughes: ...pleasurable one—something that you want to repeat as soon as your feet hit the ground. Hitting the ground running was what I needed to do to stand any chance of beating my entrenched predecessor, David Winnick. Many Members will be familiar with David as a tenacious parliamentarian. If I remember correctly, it was David’s amendment to legislation on the detention of terror suspects...
David Winnick: On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Because Question 1 was closed, there was no opportunity to follow up that particular point about the west midlands. Is it possible to put it on the record that, if there had been an opportunity, Labour Members—certainly me and other hon. Members from the west midlands—would have restated that public services have been crippled in the west midlands as a...
David Winnick: Thank you, Sir Edward, for calling me to speak. I am pleased to follow the hon. Member for East Worthing and Shoreham (Tim Loughton), who made some valid points. Because of time, I will simply concentrate on the Willenhall Crown post office in the Walsall Borough. A second attempt is being made to close it. The first attempt was in 2013, which led to an Adjournment debate. The town was...
David Winnick: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she plans to respond to the letter of 6 March 2017 from the hon. Member for Walsall North concerning a constituent, ref T1183944.
David Winnick: Considering how this may be misrepresented abroad, particularly in Russia, is it not important to emphasise that this is first and foremost a matter of human rights, and certainly not a matter confined only to those who happen to be gay? Is it not interesting that this is being discussed 50 years after the House of Commons changed the law on homosexuality? If there is a debate in July near...

David Winnick: If the Prime Minister had said when she took office that her Government wanted a general election, there would have been less controversy than there is now, but there has been denial at every opportunity. The Prime Minister or those who speak for her denied that there would be a general election. “When is the general election?” they were asked, and the answer, which was quite clear, was...

David Winnick: I do not regret any of my votes opposing military intervention in Syria, because at various times we were asked to oppose one side or the other, but if there had been no military retaliation in response to the chemical attack, is there not a case that it would have encouraged Assad to do it again?
David Winnick: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she plans to respond to the letter of 7 March 2017 from the hon. Member for Walsall North on behalf of a constituent, on police dogs.

David Winnick: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to the letter from the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State of 20 February 2017 to the hon. Member for Walsall North, reference MC421056/ON, which stated that a decision would be reached on the public inquiry into land in Walsall North constituency by the end of March, on what date that decision will be made.

David Winnick: Given the reference of some Members to the British people, is it not important to recognise that a large majority of this country’s people are not fanatically for or against the UK being in the European Union? If we want to bring the people together, as the Prime Minister says she does, that should very much be borne in mind. If, during the negotiations undertaken by her predecessor, we had...
David Winnick: Everyone wants to see territory liberated from the murderers of the so-called Islamic State, but is the Foreign Secretary aware of the deep concern over the recent air strikes, which have caused the death of so many innocent civilians, including children? There was no attempt to save the children. Is he aware of how important it is to try to minimise civilian tragedies, and will he make...
