Speeches by Wrigley.

“I thank the hon. Member for mentioning a report from my old university, which I will go away and look up. However, I think this is more about getting the visas extended, rather than pursuing the people who are refusing them.”

“I absolutely agree, and this is now urgent as guests start to have less than 12 months on their visas.”

“Very much so. In my meetings, people have been asking about these different visas and routes, not many of which work.”

“Yes, we need to do exactly that. If the UK is to support the defence of Ukraine, we must continue to support the vulnerable Ukrainian guests in our country and to give them some certainty about their future. In my discussions with groups around the Newton Abbot constituency, I have heard many of their concerns. We have…”

“I am delighted to hear about all the work going on in the hon. Lady’s community. That is also happening across the country; Dawlish Against Plastic and Plastic Free Newton Abbot are in my constituency However, the Marine Conservation Society wrote to me to say that plastic pollution on UK beaches rose by 9.5% between 2…”

“Absolutely. The situation is very grave in many parts of the world. In fact, it is more than grave—it is intolerable. In our foreign policy, the UK must proactively seek to champion freedom of belief and religion. The hon. Member for North Northumberland, the special envoy, has identified 10 priority countries where fr…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mrs Harris. I thank the hon. Member for North Northumberland (David Smith) for securing this important debate on the role of freedom of religion or belief in UK foreign policy, and for his work as special envoy. The ability to express one’s political and religious affilia…”

“Q15. During my meetings with guests who are in my constituency under the Homes for Ukraine scheme, they have told me that they are worried about their visas running out, even with the 18-month extension. They see reports of Ukrainians being refused asylum in the United Kingdom because it is said to be safe to return to…”

“I was slightly concerned that the franchising of Crown post offices, such as the one at Teignmouth in my constituency, has already gone ahead, prior to the consultation. Turning to a different issue, Royal Mail is obligated to provide a post box within half a mile of any house, but many new estates in my constituency h…”

“I am always very interested in these sorts of systems, having put in a number of them over the years. In my day, they were called data warehousing. It sounds to me as if you have built a super data warehouse with an AI analytical engine on top of it. What you have described as going into AWS, I would describe, in simpl…”

“I have been designing, developing and architecting them for 40 years.”

“Why was that delayed? I understood that that was supposed to be part of the initial contract.”

“That wasn’t the question. It was working on the Palantir system, not working with. You are including all the people who work on the old systems that they are getting data from, and of course they are working with them, but it is working and understanding what the Palantir system itself is doing. This is the point about…”

“Drag and drop can deliver that.”

“But it never says no.”

“There were a couple of things that the previous witness told us about the Palantir system, the federated data platform. One that I was particularly curious about was the people working on it. He said that there were thousands of them in the NHS. Do you recognise that? He also stated a preference for people migrating fr…”

“First of all, have I summarised what your system does in a reasonable way?”

“I thank the Secretary of State for greenlighting the work on the A382 into Newton Abbot. That will be a massive improvement when it is completed. May I congratulate the successful teams at Teignbridge and at Devon county council, who have been working on the project for some while? However, I am disappointed to hear th…”
