Speeches by Wright.

“I congratulate my hon. Friend not just on securing this debate, but on all the work he has done on this subject. He knows that he and I and our right hon. Friend the Member for Tatton (Esther McVey) and others have been raising it for many years now. He also knows that the Secretary of State has said he wants time to t…”

“The Minister will recognise that one way to increase the supply of clean energy is to enable community energy projects to supply local energy markets. When Ministers are asked about that, as he knows they have been many times, they generally say that there is no technical obstacle to it happening, but will the Minister…”

“I am sorry to press you, but that is not an answer to my question. I asked you very specifically what the word credible means in this context. It is not a question about what process you apply in relation to law enforcement. It is not a question about an individual piece of content. It is a question about what the poli…”

“Forgive me: I am not asking you to tell us about an individual decision for an individual piece of content. I am asking you to explain what your policy means. What does the word credible mean?”

“Can I come back to the question of credibility? It is very important that we understand, as a Conference, the position that your platforms take—that you have a chance to set it out accurately. Credibility can mean a number of different things. It could mean to a police officer whether or not someone actually has the me…”

“To put it another way, what is the context that would make those statements acceptable to you?”

“On the responsibilities that you have both described, do you take the view—from your platforms’ perspectives—that those responsibilities are any different during election periods? If so, how does your behaviour change either in relation to the resources you allocate or in any other way?”

“If I understood the earlier evidence properly, the answer to that last point might be that the proactive monitoring of MPs’ profiles only happens at election time, and does not happen outside election time. We might ask you to clarify that. I wanted to ask about anonymity, which we talked about a moment ago with Clive.…”

“I accept it is not in force yet; it is about when it will be.”

“The right hon. Member for East Hampshire, who moved the motion, has the right—if he wishes it—to wind up the debate, and he has about 20 minutes in which to do so. He is, however, under no obligation to use all or any of that time.”

“For the assistance of Hansard, I point out that the right hon. Gentleman was holding up a pen and paper.”

“I remind all colleagues that they should continue to stand if they wish to be called.”

“Order. That was either several interventions or a speech, neither of which is permissible. I urge all participants to keep interventions brief.”

“Three Back Benchers are seeking to speak. I hope it will assist colleagues if I say that I intend to start calling Front Benchers at about 5.08 pm.”

“The Secretary of State has made reference to those areas of the country that wanted transport infrastructure projects and have not got them. May I ask her to spare a thought for those places that have got transport infrastructure projects that they do not want? She knows that High Speed 2 passes through my constituency…”

“I add my thanks to all who participated. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered Down’s syndrome regression disorder research.”

“I thank the hon. Lady and all those who have contributed for their self-discipline and collaboration, which has enabled us to make it through with everyone speaking. I now come to the Front-Bench speeches.”

“I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman. We have finished early, so now everyone can get into more coffee queues with Ministers. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered the funding of the BBC World Service.”

“Order. I remind Members that if they wish to speak they should continue to bob so I can see that they do. If we are going to get everybody in, people will need to restrict themselves to about three minutes, but I am loath to impose a formal time limit. I call Sir John Whittingdale.”

“I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for not mentioning the thing he has just mentioned. [Laughter.]”
