Public Bill Committee: Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill: Examination of Witness ( 5 Sep 2023)

Felicity Buchan: Q The Government’s assessment is that the Bill does not breach anyone’s rights under article 10 of the ECHR. The ban applies only to the public functions of bodies defined as public authorities, so it would not affect individuals or private companies. It would not affect a councillor acting in an individual capacity—only a councillor who was speaking on behalf of his council as a local...

Public Bill Committee: Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill: Examination of Witness ( 5 Sep 2023)

Felicity Buchan: Q Thank you for being here and sharing your thoughts and experiences, which I imagine are very painful. One of the purposes of the Bill is to say that we should have one foreign policy. It does not prevent our central Government from having sanctions regimes, for instance. Do you agree that foreign policy should be reserved for the UK Government, rather than local authorities making up...

Public Bill Committee: Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill: Examination of witnesses ( 5 Sep 2023)

Wayne David: Q Thank you, Chair, and good morning to you both. Your organisations support the legislation.

But can you tell us, hand on heart: if you had a blank sheet of paper before you, would this be the approach that your organisations would be in favour of?

There have been instances where local government pension schemes have come under pressure from civil society groups to divest from a particular country or territory. Is that something you are aware of? What kind of pressure have you faced? Do you think that...

Sir David Amess Summer Adjournment (20 Jul 2023)

Edward Leigh: ...Scampton would be up and running to its full capacity of 2,000 illegal migrants. It is now the end of July, and as of today there are zero migrants housed at Scampton.

Lord Murray of Blidworth: My Lords, I will speak also to Motions H, P and Q. It remains the Government’s view that there are clear opportunities to misuse our modern slavery protections. The amendments agreed by your Lordships’ House on Report would severely undermine and in some cases prevent the Government from being able to prevent potential misuse and effectively tackle the crisis of illegal entry. As I have...

Sarah Jones: ...in communities that have lost that trust. Other Members have talked about the journey from the Macpherson report to the Casey report. Undoubtedly some good changes were made in that period, but equally Louise Casey finds that a lot of things have not improved. I pay tribute to Baroness Casey for the thoroughness of her review. She described the murder of Stephen Lawrence and the Macpherson...
