Public Bill Committee: Victims and Prisoners Bill: Clause 13 - Strategy for collaboration in exercise of victim support functions ( 4 Jul 2023)

Edward Argar: ..., a campaigner, a charity or a service provider—and we believe the legislation should be flexible enough to allow for that. We do not want to disadvantage victims who do not have the resources, autonomy or confidence to speak up for themselves. We should also recognise that there are organisations that are experienced in taking views from a representative spread of victims, feeding back...

Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill ( 3 Jul 2023)

Imran Hussain: ...the House have rightly stated that it does not just prevent public bodies such as local councils involving themselves in foreign policy—as the Government innocently declare—but meddles in the autonomy of local government pension schemes to make the best investment decisions, and swings a wrecking ball through the UK’s obligation to respect international law and countless United...

NHS Long-term Workforce Plan ( 3 Jul 2023)

Steve Barclay: ...will be to look further at what services are needed in different areas. The hon. Lady’s point also speaks to that raised by the Chair of the Health and Social Care Committee.

Schools are also able to choose how best to...

Advanced Research and Innovation Agency - Question (29 Jun 2023)

Viscount Camrose: ...and for helpfully expressing his enthusiasm for it. He asked a range of questions, which I shall answer with one overarching point—that ARIA has been set up with complete strategic and operational autonomy away from government, so the more that government tries to interfere or find out about its day-to-day ongoings, the less autonomously it can behave, and that would introduce a system...

Hong Kong National Security Law Anniversary — [Sir George Howarth in the Chair] (28 Jun 2023)

Leo Docherty: ...undermined the rights and freedoms enshrined in the joint declaration and Hong Kong’s Basic Law. Hong Kong’s governance, rights and social system are now much closer to mainland norms, and the autonomy promised under “one country, two systems” has been eroded. Hong Kong is less politically autonomous than at any time since the handover. Hong Kong authorities, under the direction...

Higher Education: Arts and Humanities - Question (28 Jun 2023)

Baroness Barran: I do not question for a second—and regularly stand at this Dispatch Box to celebrate—the success of our great universities. Those universities, rightly, would also stress their independence and autonomy. I simply made, in my reply to the noble Earl, a comparison between some of the sad, recent events at the University of East Anglia and other comparable institutions.

Scottish Parliament: Recruitment of Teachers (28 Jun 2023)

Jenny Gilruth: Local councils are responsible for the recruitment and deployment of their staff, and they have autonomy to provide incentives to their area as it is they, not central Government, that employ our teachers. I will continue to engage directly with the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities on the issue. However, the Scottish Government is committed to supporting recruitment of more teachers...

Public Bill Committee: Victims and Prisoners Bill: Clause 1 - Meaning of “victim” (27 Jun 2023)

Sarah Champion: ...secrecy around CSA. Investigations and convictions shape the child’s childhood, as interactions with the parent are controlled by restrictions imposed by the judicial system. The child loses all autonomy within the relationship with the suspect or offending parent, for safeguarding purposes—which we can completely understand—until they are over the age of 18. Negative community...

Written Answers — Department of Health and Social Care: Mental Health Services (23 Jun 2023)

Maria Caulfield: ...process of co-producing guidance with multi-agency professionals and people with lived experience of mental health problems to ensure that RCRP meets the needs of local vulnerable people. This local autonomy means that it is not possible to provide estimates for the information requested on costs and staffing requirements in the NHS, which will be determined differently in each area...

Infected Blood Inquiry (22 Jun 2023)

Robbie Moore: ...a claim in their own right; people should be able to make claims on behalf of the estates of people who have died; and it is vital that an award should be made for injury impact, social impact, autonomy impact, care and financial loss. All the different factors of those individuals’ lives been affected by those challenges. It is right, proper, fair and just that the Government listen to...

Written Answers — Department for Education: Secondary Education (21 Jun 2023)

Nick Gibb: ...of study, schools have considerable flexibility to organise the content and delivery of the curriculum to meet the needs of their pupils. Academies and free schools have greater freedom and autonomy in how they operate areas such as the curriculum, but they are expected to teach a curriculum that is comparable in breadth and ambition to the National Curriculum. Many choose to teach the...

4. Statement by the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language: Establishment of the Commission for Tertiary Education and Research (20 Jun 2023)

Laura Anne Jones: ...to be, of course, at arm's length from each other. I also said I'd be keeping an eye on how much influence Ministers exercise over the commission in order to make certain that its independence and autonomy are not compromised as it discharges its duties. Yet here we are, unfortunately, with question marks looming over just how the chairman was selected, leading to obvious questions, which...

Lifelong Learning (Higher Education Fee Limits) Bill - Second Reading (19 Jun 2023)

Baroness Barran: ...in healthcare. Credit transfer across higher and further education will be very important. We are working with providers to understand how credit transfer can be encouraged without jeopardising the autonomy of the sector, giving learners the flexibility to study at a pace that is right for them while balancing their other commitments. Of course, this will require input from both...

Co-operatives, Mutuals and Friendly Societies Bill - Third Reading: Motion (16 Jun 2023)

Lord Livermore: ...it through the other place. I know that my noble friend Lord Kennedy has supported co-operatives for over 40 years, and I note that some of the principles of them are democratic member control, autonomy and independence—perhaps not principles you might normally expect to be championed by a Chief Whip, but my noble friend does so with ease. The Bill will help UK mutuals preserve their...

James Cartlidge: Good progress is being made on the trilateral development of quantum technologies, undersea capabilities, artificial intelligence (AI) and Autonomy, cyber, hypersonic and counter-hypersonic capabilities, and electronic warfare capabilities, supported by two enabling workstreams covering innovation and information sharing.

Lord Evans of Rainow: ...combined authorities. These deals included commitments to a single department-style settlement which will give the Greater Manchester and West Midlands combined authorities the flexibility and autonomy they need to deliver for their areas.

Arts and Creative Industries: Freelancers and Self-employed Workers - Question for Short Debate (15 Jun 2023)

Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay: ...workers more flexibility and control. The Good Work Review published by the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre in February shows that 72% of workers in the creative industries claimed autonomy over their hours, compared with 52% across the overall economy. But we know, as the noble Baronesses, Lady Bull and Lady McIntosh, and others said, that for many others it is not a choice...

Pride Month (15 Jun 2023)

Lloyd Russell-Moyle: ...dangerous territory. Some politicians have stood as strong allies, with President Biden a good example in the US. He is a shining example when he says to trans kids, “You are loved, you have body autonomy and I, and we, will defend your rights.” I would love to see any of our party leaders be as unequivocal as him, and be clear that trans people have our support and that we do not get...

Abortion: Offences against the Person Act (15 Jun 2023)

Alison Thewliss: ...constituents of mine, and I know of other MPs in Scotland, have been in touch concerned about this shocking case and the precedent that it sets in a worldwide context of erosion of women’s bodily autonomy. Abortion is a devolved matter and the SNP remains committed to protecting the legal right to essential healthcare, which is what abortion services are, safely and free from stigma. I...
