As well as the ban on trade with settlements that we are debating, does my hon. Friend agree that the Government now need to spell out exactly how they will seek to dissuade those who might engage in the E1 project, which would be so damaging to the prospects of a two-state solution?
It is a real pleasure to speak in this debate. I am very grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Poole (Neil Duncan-Jordan) for securing it, and I agree with many of his remarks and those made by other speakers. I particularly agree with his remarks about the New Contract initiative. The UK’s AI sector has grown 23 times faster than the rest of our economy. We must ensure continued...
The hon. Member raises a really important point, and it is part of a broader picture. My understanding is that something like only half of all schools have an appropriate AI policy. Simply saying to students, “Don’t use AI”, having an unorganised approach to it, or just taking a company’s word for it without a broader set of guidance and frameworks for deployment is not supporting our...
I absolutely agree. That phenomenon of so-called cognitive offloading and the lack of scaffolding in skills is a genuine concern. Equally, we see how rapidly and accurately AI can assess tumour scans, for example, working with human beings to deliver the highest possible quality of healthcare. I agree with my hon. Friend the Member for Camborne and Redruth (Perran Moon) about the potential...
I will not ask the Minister to comment on future sanctions designations—I understand he cannot do that. I want to ask him about something different: the scope of the multilateral statement. He will be well aware that the statement did not specify just one type of firm—for example, construction firms; it talks about involvement. Can he confirm that it is the UK Government’s view that the...
The lack of national maternity triage standards has been of huge concern to a number of my constituents, in some cases through bitter and heartbreaking experience. The Secretary of State said that NHS England would be responsible for rolling out and monitoring triage standards. Will that responsibility pass into his Department by April next year, and how will he ensure that those standards...
The Minister is a good man, and I know that he cares deeply about this subject, but the time for calling on the belligerents and their backers to desist, for urging them to stop, or for raising matters with them, has ended. We did all of those things before El Fasher, and up to 60,000 people were slaughtered. We now have half a million people in El Obeid who are worried that if they do not...
My hon. Friend is making another important speech after that of my hon. Friend the Member for Bristol East (Kerry McCarthy). Does he agree that it is concerning to hear from reports of eyewitnesses that around 40 indigenous people have been killed over the last couple of months, and that drones and booby traps are increasingly being used against indigenous people?
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what are the criteria for the strict UK benefit test being applied to assess prospective recipient companies of the Sovereign AI Fund.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether her Department has received legal advice on the engagement of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide relating to El Obeid, Sudan.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether the Fair Work Agency's fair work assembly includes representation from organisations working with marginalised workers such as young women.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, for the membership and terms of reference for the Fair Work Agency's fair work assembly.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his department is taking to ensure the Fair Work Agency hears the voices of marginalised workers, including young women, in its decision making and advisory processes.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps the Fair Work Agency is taking to ensure its first enforcement strategy addresses the specific barriers faced by marginalised workers, including young women, in accessing their employment rights.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the accuracy of Facial Age Estimation technology procured by the Home Office when applied to children and young people seeking asylum.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what alternatives were used to test against Facial Age Estimation technology in assessing the age of asylum-seeking children aged 15, 16 and 17.
