Speeches by Russell.

“I thank the Minister for his answer. We have seen in recent days that Iran is bombing data centres across the middle east, and we are well aware that there have been problems with cyber-attacks by non-state and state-backed actors from Iran. Can the Minister please outline what the Government and the National Cyber Sec…”

“18. What steps his Department is taking to help improve the cyber-security of national infrastructure.”

“The Minister has spoken very well about plan 2, and we are grateful that he will be looking at it, but so far as I can tell, plan 3 thresholds have remained frozen for postgrads at £21,000 since their inception. That is deeply unjust. Will he commit to looking at plan 3 as well as plan 2?”

“I am pleased to see you in the Chair, Ms Lewell. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Ilford South (Jas Athwal) for securing this debate. The system just is not fair; it does not make any sense and it does not set people up well for life. Realistically, a person makes a decision about whether to go to university when …”

“The hon. Gentleman has referred to plan 2 loans but plan 3 loans were also brought in by his Government. Plan 3 loans are for those with postgraduate qualifications—people who are definitely making an economic contribution to our society—and now kick in from when they earn £21,000. Does he agree that that was the wrong…”

“I am happy to.”

“Lots of what you said already has resonated with me. Particularly, one thing you referred to was lawyers’ use of language. Particularly in engagement letters, there is a real problem with people not understanding what they are signing up to. I say this as an educated middle-class woman who has helped various friends to…”

“Hello. I am Sarah Russell. I am the Member of Parliament for Congleton. I am a solicitor specialising in employment law, although I am not currently practising. My interests are as per the register, but I am a member of the USDAW and Community trade unions and chair of the access to justice APPG.”

“In terms of the points raised about funding, Cheshire is struggling significantly with underfunding per pupil. Will how we roll out funding for these changes follow the existing formula, or will that be revised?”

“On a point of order, Mr Stringer. I am not sure whether this strictly meets the criteria for a point of order, but it is clear that some people in the room cannot hear what is happening. I know the convention is that only the Whips and Ministers sit on the front row, but if those who are struggling to hear wish to sit …”

“Q Obviously no one wants to put crippling costs on to businesses, but cyber-security costs money—there is no way of avoiding that. We only have to look at the JLR attack to see the scale of the impact on our economy when it does not work, and we are looking at only critical national infrastructure here. Have you had an…”

“Q Professor Child, I note that you are very supportive of legal reform in quite a number of areas. With emphasis on the Computer Misuse Act, surely the reality is that the Crown Prosecution Service will never conclude that it is in the best interests of the country to prosecute any of the behaviours that people are con…”

“Q One of the things talked about this morning was that the risk in these relationships and sectors will simply be managed down the supply chain until it is essentially contracted out of existence, because the smallest organisations that end up holding the risk will be incapable of effectively managing it. Should they f…”

“Good afternoon. I am the MP for Congleton. I am a member of USDAW and Community trade unions. My interests are on the register. I am also co-chair of the all-party parliamentary group on access to justice.”

“Is it that the women’s representative has not been replaced or will not be replaced?”

“I thank the Minister for his statement, which demonstrates how Labour stands up for people against vested interests—my constituents will thank him for it. On the ongoing problems with unadopted estates, which I have been raising with him since before my election, I would be extremely grateful if he agreed to visit my c…”

“Were you given any indication why?”
