Speeches by Dinenage.

“The starting point of your consultation, Prime Minister, is a carve-out for AI developers to be able to use content without permission or payment unless creators opt out and then opt back in to their own copyright. It is in, out, in, out—it is like the hokey-cokey of policymaking. You talk about the optimism in the cre…”

“But effectively what you are doing is gambling a world-class British success story. The creative industries are worth £125 billion to our economy. They fly our flag around the world. You are gambling them in favour of companies that are already so rich that your own Secretary of State said we need to treat them like na…”

“Yesterday the Minister for Creative Industries told the House that the Government’s proposals were untested anywhere in the world, and that we will only progress them if there is a solution that meets all of the Government’s aims. Are you saying that once this consultation is over, if there is a solution that works for…”

“Ultra-realistic deepfake porn is increasingly being used to target women, and I know the Government agree because they committed to criminalising it in their manifesto. For the sake of victims, intimate image abuse needs to be tackled without delay, so why on earth did the Government not back Baroness Owen’s Bill in th…”

“I think we can forgive our overseas territories for being a little concerned about this Government’s commitment to their right to self-determination. Those of us who, like me, are a bit older and have long memories will remember when the previous Labour Government opened negotiations with the Spanish Government over th…”

“Minister Peacock, are you working on the assumption that the funding of the BBC World Service will come in under the charter review?”

“The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman’s report says what many WASPI women across my constituency have been saying for years, which is that between 2005 and 2007 the DWP and the last Labour Government let them down. I am therefore grateful to the Secretary of State for her apology, but that will come as cold co…”

“Minister Peacock, are you working on the assumption that the funding of the BBC World Service will come in under the charter review?”

“Licence fee payers are also taxpayers. Do licence fee payers know that they are funding the World Service? Do you think that they mind? When we had Tim Davie before us a moment ago, he was talking about, “Any money that you spend on World Service is money that you are not spending on domestic telly, radio or digital”. …”

“Is it a question that will be taken into consideration at the point of the charter review?”

“What is the plan in the meantime to stop the BBC World Service getting to a point where it has to turn around to you and say that they are going to have to cut one of their language services?”

“My right hon. Friend is making excellent points. Does she agree that there is not only a lack of grasp of detail, but an astounding sense of arrogance—an inability to listen to those who know what they are doing, the farmers, and who have the experience and the expertise? There is just a blank inexplicable unwillingnes…”

“The Minister knows that grassroots sports provide enormous health, economic, welfare and community benefits. That is why today, the Culture, Media and Sport Committee is launching an inquiry that we are calling “Game On” into community, grassroots and school sports, and the interventions needed to improve them. What co…”

“I start by paying tribute to the hon. Member for Darlington (Lola McEvoy), who made really powerful and impactful comments, as have all those who have spoken today. I join her tribute to the bereaved families who have done such incredible work to campaign on this vital issue. I should, before anything else, direct ever…”

“The hon. Lady has called a debate on a really important issue. Could she set out why she thinks that now is a really important time to discuss this vital topic?”

“Will the hon. Lady give way?”

“The Bill makes provision for maintaining the charitable status of institutions that are wholly or mainly concerned with providing full-time education for pupils with an education, health and care plan. Will the Minister set out the definition of “wholly or mainly”? What support will be put in place for councils to affo…”
