Online Safety Bill: Clause 82 - General duties of OFCOM under section 3 of the Communications Act (12 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Wright: ...to them for their commitment. Of course, as others have said, none of this means that the Bill is perfect; frankly, it was never going to be. Nor does it mean that when we pass the Bill, the job is done. We will then pass the baton to Ofcom, which will have a large amount of further work to do. However, we now need to finalise the legislative phase of this work after many years of...

Online Safety Bill: Clause 82 - General duties of OFCOM under section 3 of the Communications Act (12 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Wright: ...seeks to resolve those two problems at once. Given that I proposed an identical amendment in this House, I am unsurprisingly in favour of it, and I congratulate Baroness Morgan on doing a better job of persuading the other place of its merits than I managed to do in this place. I am pleased to see the Government effectively accept that amendment today. Finally, I will say a few words about...

Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Bill: After Clause 46 - Register of members: information to be included and powers to obtain it ( 4 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Wright: ...burdens on smaller organisations by limiting that offence to large organisations, but can he explain why subsection (4) of the new clause introduced by Lords amendment 151 does not do that job? It states: “It is a defence for the relevant body to prove that, at the time the fraud offence was committed…the body had in place such prevention procedures as it was reasonable in all the...

National Security Bill: Clause 28 - The foreign power condition ( 3 May 2023)

Jeremy Wright: ...Strategy Committee could scrutinise it effectively. I do not seek to relitigate that question, and I certainly make no reflection on the ability of the BEIS Committee or its Chairman to do a good job, as they clearly do and will continue to do. In the absence of an updated memorandum of understanding for the ISC, however, it is an example of the Government not being open to extending the...

Online Safety Bill: New Clause 19 - Duties to protect news publisher content (12 Jul 2022)

Jeremy Wright: ...on something as ground-breaking and complex as this, I do not pretend that I have all the right answers. These amendments have been tabled because the Bill as it stands does not quite yet do the job that we want it to do. It is a good Bill—it needs to pass—but it can be better, and I very much hope that this process will improve it.

Online Safety Bill: New Clause 19 - Duties to protect news publisher content (12 Jul 2022)

Jeremy Wright: ...be right. I entirely accept that inserting a provision that the standards code and the complaints policies and procedures should be both “suitable and sufficient” opens the question whose job it becomes to decide what is suitable and sufficient. I am familiar with all the problems that may ensue, so again, I do not say that the amendment is the final word on the subject, but I do say...

Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles (Disabled Persons) Bill (18 Mar 2022)

Jeremy Wright: ..., that the good taxi and private hire vehicle drivers he talks about would also expect as a basic provision for their disabled passengers and clients. It is no reflection on those who do a good job, particularly those who moved people around over the pandemic when they would otherwise have been unable to be moved. I hope my hon. Friend will be reassured that we are seeking to strike that...

Iran Detainees (16 Mar 2022)

Jeremy Wright: ... family who live in my constituency. I pay huge tribute to all involved, including, of course, my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary and the Opposition Members who have done such a tremendous job on behalf of their constituents. There will be many lessons wrongly drawn from this sad episode. Can I suggest to my right hon. Friend that there is one lesson that could be correctly drawn?...

Committee on Standards: Decision of the House ( 8 Nov 2021)

Jeremy Wright: ...it is that decision that would be subject to any appeal that we added to the current architecture. Again with great respect to the hon. Gentleman and his Committee—I think he and they do a good job—we will have to face the need for a greater independent element in deciding cases of serious alleged misconduct by other Members of the House. To return to the point raised by my hon. Friend...

Speaker's Statement: James Brokenshire (20 Oct 2021)

Jeremy Wright: ...went to visit the Brokenshires at Hillsborough Castle, when James was Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. In the course of that visit, I was struck by how James, who had not been in the job long at that point, was widely recognised and warmly welcomed at all the community events, which, James being James, he was keen that we all went to during that weekend. That included, I recall, a...

HS2 — [David Mundell in the Chair] (13 Sep 2021)

Jeremy Wright: ...have been ruined by the line has been fiercely contested. I welcome the appointment of a dedicated HS2 Minister, and my hon. Friend the Member for Pendle (Andrew Stephenson) has been doing a good job of getting to grips with these issues. However, he will agree that there is much more to do, and much more of the construction phase to go. HS2 Ltd and its contractors have to work much...

Debate on the Address: Better Jobs and a Fair Deal at Work (12 May 2021)

Jeremy Wright: ...the progress that platforms are already making, we know, and they know, that self-regulation is no longer sufficient. We need an independent regulator with the capacity and the tools to do the job. That is what the Online Safety Bill can achieve, and we have an opportunity to lead the world in doing it. Of course, in other areas of policy we already lead the world. I was pleased to hear in...

Overseas Operations (Service Personnel and Veterans) Bill: Clause 6 - “Relevant offence” (21 Apr 2021)

Jeremy Wright: ...(Leo Docherty) on his promotion. He started his Government career as the Parliamentary Private Secretary to me, so I congratulate him in particular on overcoming that disadvantage and acquiring a job that I know he will enjoy, and I am sure he will do it extremely well. I congratulate him too on the way he has handled the business this afternoon. It is no easy task to deal with something...

Trade Bill: After Clause 2 - Parliamentary approval of trade agreements (19 Jan 2021)

Jeremy Wright: ..., or for the trade deals of breadth and ambition to which the Government rightly aspire. For those, Parliament needs more time and information than CRaG currently allows us in order to do our job of scrutiny properly. The Government need to think further on that, and do more before those broader trade deals are negotiated.

Public Health ( 1 Dec 2020)

Jeremy Wright: ...only where they have to. If they impose restrictions when they are not justified, people are less likely to obey them when they are justified. That will make the Government’s already difficult job harder and do much wider and more lasting damage.

Online Harms (19 Nov 2020)

Jeremy Wright: ..., it must be the right kind of regulation—regulation that gives innovation and invention room to grow, that allows developing enterprises to offer us life-enhancing services and create good jobs, but that requires those enterprises to take proper responsibility for their products and services, and for the consequences of their use. I believe that that balance is to be found in the...

Public Health ( 4 Nov 2020)

Jeremy Wright: ...the most vulnerable members of our society, even when it hurts the rest of us. That is who we are as a nation. Whatever else the pandemic changes, it must not change that. The Government’s job is not just to react, but to plan for the future. On this, I have to say that I do not think the Government have said enough. We must now accept the need to live with this virus in the longer term....

Written Answers — Treasury: Employment ( 7 Sep 2020)

Jeremy Wright: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Plan for Jobs, published in July 2020, if he will extend (a) eligibility for the £1,000 bonus to employers who re-employ new starters who were not retained during the covid-19 outbreak and (b) an additional £1,000 bonus to those new starters directly.

Written Answers — Treasury: Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme: Events Industry (23 Jul 2020)
