Speeches by Madders.

“You have already mentioned some challenges in delivering that, but are there any others that you have not yet mentioned?”

“Just so we are clear, when you are talking about legacy equipment, is there a date before which this stuff just does not work?”

“I put the same question to Karen. From what you have said, it sounds like you have made massive gains already. Is there much left to do?”

“The hon. Member is giving a very balanced presentation of the differing views and arguments, and she hits on a really important point: a number of residents feel that this consultation is not really a consultation, and that the decisions have already been made. We should all be united in urging Peak Cluster to raise it…”

“I am grateful to the Minister for acknowledging that a number of colleagues have contacted him about this issue. In particular, I will speak on behalf of my Wirral colleagues, including my hon. Friends the Members for Wirral West (Matthew Patrick), for Birkenhead (Alison McGovern) and for Wallasey (Dame Angela Eagle). …”

“15. What steps his Department is taking to reform the leasehold sector.”

“I thank the Minister for coming to speak to the all-party parliamentary group on leasehold and commonhold reform and setting out so comprehensively his vision for ending fleecehold for good. He has explained many of the things that need to be done to get us to that place, including fixing some of the flaws in the 2024 …”

“The shadow Minister is raising some interesting points, though I think they probably are slightly out of scope of what we are debating. I want to ask him about the use of the GDP deflator—when I saw that, I thought it was referring to previous Conservative Chancellors, but of course, it is actually about the way that t…”

“Yes.”

“I think this was in an academic environment.”

“On the UK side.”

“That is very helpful. We have also been conducting an inquiry into AI. Dame Wendy Hall came to give evidence, and she expressed a view about when she has looked to use some open AI models from China. I will not put words in her mouth, but I think she said that the regime was quite restrictive in terms of what she could…”

“We have heard some suggestions that the pace of decision making in various levels of Government is quite slow. Would you say that they are coming to conclusions in a good enough timeframe?”

“When the researchers or the various institutions are looking to collaborate with Chinese counterparts, how robust is the decision-making process? What sorts of threats and trade-offs are being considered? Is it consistent? This is probably one for you, Ben.”

“My constituents were delighted to see the opening of the Great Sutton medical centre, but it has brought into sharp focus the need for an urgent upgrade of GP practices in Ellesmere Port town centre. I have submitted an expression of interest to the neighbourhood centre programme, and I wonder whether the Minister woul…”

“Where else do you see gaps?”

“Most of the points I was going to ask about have been covered, in terms of the sub-optimal framework we have at the moment for decision making. But I want to ask you, Tor, about your comment that some of the regulations around the threat assessments in the decision-making framework are inconsistent and in conflict. Cou…”

“They did that in “The Italian Job”. We don’t need Benny Hill, do we? Yes, this is obviously very alarming. On the point about non-Chinese manufacturers using components, is it correct that unless we have visibility of the entire supply chain, or unless we strip one of the vehicles, we will not know whether any of those…”

“My constituents were delighted to see the opening of the Great Sutton medical centre, but it has brought into sharp focus the need for an urgent upgrade of GP practices in Ellesmere Port town centre.

“I welcome this announcement, but is it not shocking that these companies have to be told what is unacceptable—that children should not be able to send and receive naked images?
