Speeches by Mullane.

“We have had a presentation, and we were told the one-in, one-out deal with France was a trial to see how it goes. What level of returns do you think are going to be needed to have the massive deterrent effect people are hoping for?”

“What about France and other parts of Europe? You do not see any—”

“Apart from anything you have mentioned, are there any other models of co-operation that you think would help us?”

“Today, as this House continues to debate last week’s Labour Budget, we turn a spotlight on investment and renewal. Thankfully, we have moved on since the Liz Truss Budget—we are no longer talking about growing pies. This Labour Government are in the business of growing the economy, which has gone up by 1.5% this year, …”

“The Chair just alluded to, and you answered the question about, who was there—councillors; MPs—who you would speak to, and that kind of thing. How would you know that there was not pressure?”

“Have you ever recommended excluding away fans before, bearing in mind that you said you were confident of your ability to police the fixture?”

“Given that you stated in a letter to us that you would have been able to police the fixture within your existing resource envelope, why did you not recommend that option to the SAG?”

“Okay. Simon Foster, as an outsider to the SAG, do you have confidence after listening to this today that SAGs are free of political influence?”

“If it is that good, would you agree that the Government should put it in an early offer to the public?”

“Finally, how do you see it going forward? Could there be a creep of digital ID that might put people’s privacy and human rights at risk? Is that something that worries you?”

“Could you give me an example of it being intentional?”

“Do you have any examples of individual rights in other countries that you feel have been affected by digital ID?”

“What risk do you think the mandatory element of digital ID presents to somebody’s privacy and other rights?”

“I want to pick up on what Professor Whitley said in his opening statement, that the Government are the best judge of ID.”

“Given how the public feel about politics at the moment, would you say that still stands? If this is about going for quick wins and winning people over, as the Tony Blair Institute says, should the Government put it in a manifesto if this is so good and beneficial? Equally, it has been suggested that the Home Office is …”

“Okay, the Government, then.”

“I am the MP for Dagenham and Rainham, which is quite an impoverished area. Since this announcement was made, my inbox has been full of, “No, thank you. You didn’t put it in your manifesto.” As Professor Whitley just said, it is a sense of unfairness that really upsets people, not the Big Brother aspect of it. As you sa…”

“Do you think it is right to reduce reliance on, say, migrant workers coming into food production? Do you think there will be problems up the road?”

“How do you think you are going to guide the Government on assessing which occupations should go on the lists?”
