“What engagement do DCMS and the Home Office have around visas for events? That is something that has come up in my constituency, where we have a really well-known cricket ground and players have had difficulties getting visas to come over.”

“One witness told us that an event decided to move from the UK to Barcelona last year, citing the reasons as mainly Brexit bureaucracy and that it was too difficult and expensive. We have heard a lot about red tape and the impact on cultural touring and so on. What are the Government doing to address these concerns?”

“There is obviously an impact on local communities, which is incredibly important. It would be good to see some sort of plan of action to make this happen.”

“Good morning to you. Eastleigh is one of the towns competing for Town of Culture, and I am very proud of that.

I was contacted by my constituent Dan, who is a serving police officer. He tells me that the current level of support from the Police Federation is, at…”

“Are parental controls bad for business?”

“Why did your own internal documents admit that these features only exist behind a somewhat hidden series of menus? Why did TikTok choose to hide these safety entry points rather than making them prominent to ensure parents could actually find them?”

“Giles, unsealed documents from the court case in Massachusetts suggest that TikTok knows adoption of these tools is remarkably low. Can you confirm exactly what percentage of minor accounts on TikTok in the UK are linked to a parent through family pairing, or how many parents are engaging with parental controls?”

“Why did your own internal documents admit that these features only exist behind a somewhat hidden series of menus? Why did TikTok choose to hide these safety entry points rather than making them prominent to ensure parents could actually find them?”
