Speeches by Gardner.

“Yes, and it is one of the big problems that we see on social media in videos and so on. That is in a different inquiry that we are doing. Sebastian, can I go to you on the same question, but particularly about the technical aspects of what would be involved in such labelling and how it would be presented?”

“Going on to data transparency, Ed Newton-Rex has said, “What is the use of knowing your data is being used if you cannot do anything about it?” Sajeeda, is data transparency a compromise to allow for unrestricted training?”

“There are a lot of unintended consequences. I want to come to Max in a moment but, Matt, linked to some of the comments there, what would be the commercial trade-offs for AI developers if the Government were to introduce data transparency? Regardless of the approach, but in light of these unintended consequences, if we…”

“Thank you. I am delighted to introduce Woolcool. Angela Morris was the innovator or, to use the old-fashioned term, inventor of the special packaging. I was particularly interested in this, because it has a female innovator and founder, which we should always promote, and because the solution that Woolcool has develope…”

“I recently visited the impressive and very funky 1882 ceramics firm based in the World of Wedgwood in my Stoke-on-Trent South constituency, home of “The Great Pottery Throw Down”. The firm impressed upon me its challenges in attracting young apprentices, risking the loss of important creative heritage skills. Does my h…”

“I rise not just as a member of the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee or as co-chair of the APPG on artificial intelligence, but as an academic with first-hand experience of building AI models. I will try to make a case—go with me on this one—that protecting our creative industry and the high-quality output i…”

“2. What recent progress his Department has made on strengthening cyber security.”

“Given the critical importance of closing the skills gap across the Government and defence sectors to safeguard against emerging threats in this digital age, which worry my constituents of Stoke-on-Trent South, what plans do the Government have to collaborate with organisations such as Code First Girls to develop a skil…”

“The A50/500 growth corridor, a significant transport corridor in my constituency of Stoke-on-Trent South, enjoys an extraordinary concentration of advanced manufacturing, including anchor companies such as JCB and Michelin. With modest targeted investment in transport, energy and digital infrastructure, this vital corr…”

“6. What steps she is taking to help increase economic growth in Stoke-on-Trent.”

“rose—”

“As my hon. Friend knows, Stoke-on-Trent sits on an offshoot of the west coast main line and provides a vital east-west link between Crewe and Derby, which also requires electrification. Does he agree that previous HS2 plans severely reduced services through Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, and that any future developm…”

“Human rights organisations such as Gisha, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel have been working hard to get more aid into Gaza since the beginning of the conflict. What steps is the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office taking to support human rights groups to help r…”

“First, I thank the Minister for commenting on the importance of multidisciplinary research. From my own previous research, I know that that is very important, particularly in the development of AI algorithmic risk prediction models. I also had the pleasure yesterday of speaking to Professor Tom Solomon, the director of…”

“Will my hon. Friend join me in commending the fantastic work of the Longton Exchange team and Urban Wilderness in their commitment to regenerating Longton town centre? Does he also agree that we need much more work and investment to return Longton to its full glory?”

“Cities like Stoke-on-Trent, left behind by the previous Conservative Government, could significantly benefit from targeted AI investment. AI growth zones are one such opportunity. We have a great site in Stoke-on-Trent and energy innovations. Will the Secretary of State outline plans for using AI to drive investment to…”

“Twenty years ago this month, both my parents died aged 60, of cancer. They died just one week apart, but that is where the similarities ended. My father died a horrible death, receiving very poor—if any—palliative care. My mother won the postcode lottery, if you like, and passed away in the Royal Stoke, in Stoke-on-Tre…”

“1. What reforms he has made to funding for flood protection.”

“My constituency of Stoke-on-Trent South has many farmers, some of whom are personal friends. On their behalf, I ask the Minister to update the House on the funds that the Government are making available via the farming recovery fund to support farmers impacted by last year’s severe weather.”

“In my constituency, we do not have a single unpolluted watercourse. Last year, on the Conservative Government’s watch, Severn Trent Water, the company that covers my constituency, was responsible for over 60,000 sewage overflows nationally. In Stoke-on-Trent South, we have had 24 sites polluted by 337 sewage dumps last…”
