Matt Warman: ...code of practice is proportionate, and that public telecoms providers take appropriate security measures. I will touch as briefly as I can on how we intend to achieve that proportionality through a tiered system. Tier 1 will contain the largest national-scale public telecoms providers. Should any of those providers have a significant security incident, it could bring down services to...
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon: ...the number of investigations into corrupt leads and, among other things, the UK has used existing immigration powers in dozens of cases relating to hostile state activity. We will also review all tier 1 investor visas granted before 5 April 2015.

Helen Whately: .... We are identifying how to best utilise this new technology at scale through a series of different field tests and pilots. Targeted community testing is available for all local authorities in tier 4, tier 3 and those in tier 2 at risk of going into tier 3, with authorities invited to submit their application.
Jon Trickett: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what additional support the Government will provide to local authorities in Tier 3 to allow for the (a) establishment and (b) staffing of extra covid-19 testing sites.
Chris Philp: Information about Child Maintenance Service appeals received into the First-tier Tribunal (Social Security and Child Support) (SSCS) is published at www.gov.uk/government/collections/tribunals-statistics.

Caroline Dinenage: ...staff, supported by volunteers, have been trained on digital skills to enable them to provide library users with support in using digital. Their vital role has been recognised in exceptions to tier and national restrictions, where after the first lock-down public libraries have been permitted to allow people to use library buildings for public PC use to access essential public services. As...
Richard Holden: ..., Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether town and parish councils can apply directly to the On-Street Residential Chargepoint scheme or whether an application needs to be made through a higher tier local authority.
Baroness Williams of Trafford: ...about the postcode lottery, which is important. When I first went into MHCLG, there was a really patchy picture of people who could access DA services versus those who could not. The duty on first-tier local authorities goes some way to address that. Both noble Lords talked about the sustainability of funding. I cannot disagree with that because it is crucial for services to be able to...

Angus MacNeil: Feasgar math, Mr Deputy Speaker, and thank you very much for calling me at this stage of the Bill. I am speaking from the island of Barra in Scotland, which has just been included in tier 4 with the mainland. That is one of the reasons why I have not been travelling and why this is the first time I will speak in any stage of the Trade Bill. I am grateful that we are back to a virtual...
...case in point. We achieved a certain degree of scale but did not get to the point where we could compete effectively with Ericsson, Nokia or anybody else in that space. There are quite a few second-tier players around, Mavenir and Airspan, which have 5G technology that could be deployed. Is that scalable to the degree that Vodafone Group would require? Do they have the financial backing to...
...costs, the bulk of Ofcom’s own costs are paid by larger operators rather than smaller ones, and we have talked about proportionality in the way we operate that. Again, although I understand the tiering of the system will be set out in the code of practice, that will also be based on size and scale. Simon, may I turn to you on diversification?
Chris Matheson: ...for suppliers, in a market that is no longer, in the long term, going to be distorted by, for example, Huawei, with its state backing. Is there any evidence, therefore, that other suppliers—first tier and lower suppliers—are looking at this and thinking, “There is a chance here to get back into the game”?

Nigel Huddleston: ...are incredibly important for our physical and mental health, and are a vital weapon against coronavirus. That’s why we have made sure that people can exercise throughout the national and local tiered restrictions.
