During a debate about the establishment of a Regional Select Committee for London, David Burrowes puts the case that scrutiny of London issues should be addressed by the London Assembly and the London boroughs.

David Burrowes responds to a report from the Joint Committee on Human Rights and reinforces the importance of consensus in respect of any constitutional settlement.

Speaking in the House of Commons, David Burrowes calls for a special Parliamentary debate on autism in the context of the criminal justice system. He cites the case of computer hacker Gary McKinnon who has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome - a fact which was not taken into account when his extradition to the US was approved by the Home Secretary.

David Burrowes calls on the Chief Secretary to the Treasury to be open about the Government's spending plans announced in the Budget - which the Institute of Fiscal Studies projects to be in real-terms cuts of 2.3 per cent or £20 billion.

David Burrowes supports a Bill to tackle the trafficking and exploitation of women and children, but raises concerns over the practicalities of the clause where a person commits the offence of 'Paying for sexual services of a prostitute controlled for gain' whether or not they know that the prostitute is ‘controlled for gain’.
