Speeches by Daby.

“I thank my hon. Friend—I call him that even though he sits on the other side of the House—for stating that so eloquently and accurately. This means that the previous Conservative Government got it wrong. I would also add that with rents rising and mortgages increasing, they got it wrong. Who suffers? It is babies, todd…”

“My hon. Friend is absolutely correct; it is about supporting parents into better-paid work.”

“I thank the Prime Minister for his statement, but will he tell the House what steps the Government are taking to protect parliamentarians and others in public life against foreign influence?”

“3. What recent progress the race equality engagement group has made on helping to tackle race inequalities.”

“I represent a hard-working, diverse community, yet the latest Office for National Statistics figures on the median-adjusted pay gap for UK-born black, African, Caribbean or black British employees show that they earn 5.6% less than UK-born white employees. That means that many of my hard-working constituents are not be…”

“Thank you—that’s very helpful. The vulnerability to climate change, storms and hurricanes in the Caribbean is extremely alarming, and it is great that the young people are finding a space to make an active contribution. I hear you on all those points exactly, so thank you for that. Chido, would you like to come in?”

“That is helpful, in particular around funding and medium to long-term support in that area. Chido, Sapphire, was there anything you wanted to add?”

“I will be a lot more succinct than I was just then. Finian, how do you feel the UK can best support young people in the causes that you are fighting for? How would you empower them, and what part could the UK play in offering support?”

“Can you hear me now?”

“Good afternoon. I will come to Finian first. I can hear your passion, and I know that you serve in many roles to do with advocating and empowering young people. You have talked about some of the aims you have—the three aims in particular—and the young population in Nigeria. I will come to the other panellists as well, …”

“Thank you for that. I want to raise one more thing. When I was in my teenage years, the Bob Geldof song “We Are the World” was released, with lyrics that said, “We are the world. We are the children. We are the ones who make a brighter day.” There is something about language and how we use it that can bring people toge…”

“Sometimes that is the elephant in the room, so it is nice to get that out there.”

“Bel, you mentioned that when people have more information, they are more attuned to and aware of development relief and aid and are therefore more likely to be sympathetic to it. This is a question to you and others. Do you think that if more information were available to the public, they would have a different respons…”
