Speeches by Jarvis.

“There has been widespread concern, since the announcement of your appointment, about your close ties to the Labour party. What reassurances can you give this Committee that the regulator will remain completely independent of Government?”

“Did you discuss your application with any members of the current Government?”

“Are you concerned that your appointment and perceived political bias will undermine the regulator before it is set up?”

“Lord Grade, in your pre-appointment hearing, you said that part of the reason you applied to be chair of Ofcom was to ensure “continued investment and growth in our internationally successful creative industries.” Where do you see potential for that growth for the PSBs and the creative industries in general?”

“Good afternoon to both of you. Ofcom’s response to the Prime Minister’s letter asking regulators for examples of what they would do to enhance economic growth included implementing the Media Act. How is the Media Act going to stimulate economic growth? That question is to both of you.”

“Would you like to add anything, Lord Grade?”

“Can I ask you both how Ofcom is approaching the subject of artificial intelligence, given the current climate, where the debate about AI in creative industries is framed around copyright?”

“Just before Christmas, thousands of my constituents were left without water after yet another incident involving Southern Water—the latest in a long series of issues, including outages and sewage dumping in our precious chalk stream, the River Itchen. Yet this month, my constituents face water bill hikes of 47%. Does t…”

“T3. The power outages across Spain, Portugal and the south of France are a stark reminder of how energy security is key to national security.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to speak in this debate. As it has for so many Members across the House, football has given me some unforgettable moments. I grew up listening to the scores on Saturday afternoons with my dad, and I can still remember the pride I felt when my son had the opportunity to be a mascot at S…”

“Good morning to both of you. Sir Ian, you are about to leave your role. How healthy a state are you leaving Channel 4 in?”

“Does the regulatory system for PSBs put them at a disadvantage compared to the global streamers? If so, how do you address any disadvantages?”

“You mentioned successful output. Do you consider the series “Go Back to Where You Came From” to have been a success? Do you think it achieved what it set out to achieve?”

“From your point of view it was a success?”

“Do you think there will be a second series of it?”

“Good morning to all of you. I recently had the pleasure of attending a football match at one of my local primary schools in my Eastleigh constituency, where the girls were all aspiring to be the next generation of Lionesses. It was wonderful to see them play. According to data from Sport England’s “Active Lives Childre…”

“The inquest into the tragic death of a young woman who lived in Eastleigh has highlighted the importance of continuity of specialist care for vulnerable people who move home. My constituent, Alex, is still waiting for an appointment for ongoing specialist care three years after moving to Eastleigh. Will the Minister me…”

“Thank you. Anna, you recently launched the Equal Play campaign, which calls upon the Government to address the barriers that prevent disabled children participating in physical education and sports in school. What changes need to happen to ensure that more disabled children are active and enjoying sports at school?”
