Speeches by Waugh.

“In that vein, can I move on to the other documentary, “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack”, which was not screened by the BBC because you feared it risked creating a perception of partiality as an organisation. How do you respond to the criticism that Channel 4 News had no problem fulfilling its duties? Do you not feel that yo…”

“What about when you see those stories yourself? I can do a quick edit job now and say, “Those stories are valid. They can be put together.” Why has that not been done? How far away are you from doing that? That would reassure a lot of your audience that you are committed to hearing those real voices on the ground.”

“Precisely. Can I ask you, specifically on this, how you will achieve that?”

“I declare my interest as a member of the National Union of Journalists. On the wider issue of editorial guidelines, gentlemen, obviously there have been clear and unacceptable failures when it came to Glastonbury, which made the Jewish community feel unsafe; and clear and unacceptable failures on “Gaza: How to Survive …”

“Have you asked for that?”

“We need to know the scale of this problem and whether it still exists.”

“Can you tell us how many you have got?”

“Why not?”

“Does anyone want to add to that?”

“Paul, you mentioned that the 2008 play strategy was the basis for this funding figure, obviously adjusted for inflation. Are there any lessons from that strategy and how the money was spent there, and maybe lessons from how it ended as well?”

“Rupa mentioned funding. Can we move on to that? Paul, the Play Commission proposes £125 million a year for play. What sort of thing should that money be spent on? What is a good example? How could that money be well spent?”

“Treasury always loathes the phrase “spend to save” because they do not like the spending, even though it encourages savings. So, just finally, what would be the savings that you have identified from this investment in play?”

“I welcome today’s update on the national inquiry into grooming gangs, particularly the way in which the Minister has made sure that victims and survivors are definitely going to be at the heart of whatever happens. During the trial of seven members of a Rochdale grooming gang earlier this year, it emerged in court that…”

“I welcome the Government’s intention to recognise formally the state of Palestine at the UN later this month—which many Labour Members have pushed for ever since our election, and which was in our manifesto. It is the biggest shift in British foreign policy in decades, and a major step forward to giving the Palestinian…”

“I warmly welcome the content of the Home Secretary’s statement, particularly the UK-France migrant deal, which provides a safe and legal route for all those families who are genuinely fleeing persecution and who play by the rules and want to enter the country legally. The deal balances that with the need to remove from…”

“Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. First, I declare an interest, in that my son Fin is a member of the band Big Huge New Circle, whose latest single “Pearl” is out on Spotify, and is recommended by Clash magazine, which calls it “beautifully complex”. I welcome today’s announcement, particularly the introduction of per d…”
