Speeches by Cooper.

“Many of us, on both sides of the House, are sympathetic to both new clauses. We heard very clearly in evidence sessions that the Computer Misuse Act, as it is today, has a chilling effect on the operation of the cyber-security industry in this country and on whether such companies want to locate here as opposed to othe…”

“The hon. Lady makes a passionate case and spoke movingly about the debate in her own family and how to protect her children. I recognise that. I have two young children and I think carefully about what they look at online. I worry about when they get older and how we will deal with that. The hon. Lady talks about age-g…”

“T8. The Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee has just published a report on social housing conditions, warning that just under 430,000 social homes are non-decent. Additional research shows that in the north, more than 100,000 social homes will reach end of life over the next 10 years. I am chairing the …”

“Q Stuart, as an MSP, you will be familiar with the fact that the large cloud service providers tend to allow you to live failover to different regions. By default you might be hosting in the UK region, but, depending on an outage, you might live failover to the European Union or to the US, depending on the cloud servic…”

“Q Stuart, you were nodding, which suggests you have something to contribute. Stuart McKean: It is an interesting cultural challenge. You want people to be open and to report incidents that are having an impact, but at the same time, if they report those incidents they might get fined, which could be economically challe…”

“Q With respect, Minister, that sounds like quite a lot of, “This is what I hope will happen and this is what I wish to happen.” How will you mandate that it happens? Does there need to be something in the legislation to ensure that there is a duty of candour between regulators? Kanishka Narayan: The Bill currently says…”

“Q Carla, I want to come back on the potential for unnecessary over-reporting of incidents. I cannot speak for the Minister, but I am sure it is not his intention that every phishing email is reported. I was listening carefully to what you said about your proposed tiered approach, and I can imagine, say, a situation whe…”

“Q I have a question for Jill Broom. You were talking about the incident reporting requirements. Do you think the legislation strikes the right balance to encourage organisations to come forward when they have been attacked, so that the sector can learn from that and vulnerabilities can be patched out in other areas, or…”

“Q We have heard evidence today about the appropriateness of individual sectoral regulators being responsible for this, versus a single regulator. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the sectoral regulators were in favour of a sectoral approach, and we heard differing views from other people. The hon. Member for Bromsgrove already …”

“Are there any specific examples of good practice where any of the London councils are proactively looking at this accommodation to make sure that it is suitable?”

“You make an interesting point about relying on feedback from the people who have been placed in temporary accommodation. We have heard evidence—indeed, we have heard a bit of it today—about reprisal evictions. When we did the roundtables before Christmas, we heard one example of somebody where it was made pretty clear …”

“Stephen, what process do you have in Birmingham to ensure the safety and suitability of the properties you are using for temporary accommodation?”

“Paul, could you answer with respect to Newham?”

“I am conscious of the time, so can I have a one-sentence answer from each of you? The Committee has previously recommended that the Government require councils to carry out mandatory inspections prior to a property first being used as temporary accommodation. Do you think that is a reasonable requirement for the Govern…”

“I am Andrew Cooper, the Member of Parliament for Mid Cheshire.”

“Over the course of this inquiry, we have heard directly from people who have experienced temporary accommodation themselves, and some of them are still in it. Some of them have given evidence on being moved a long way out of their home borough, which has caused problems for their children accessing education. We have h…”

“Joseph, what about for the Greater Manchester authorities that make up the GMCA?”

“I welcome my right hon. Friend’s statement, particularly the action on mobile phones in schools. Harmful interactions can take place in online games and on instant messaging platforms, and we need to be alive to the risk of driving use to less well-regulated spaces and into virtual private networks. I am also concerned…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Vaz. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Sefton Central (Bill Esterson) on securing this debate. He knows my links to his constituency, and I am certain that his moving tribute to Matt will be appreciated by Matt’s family, his Labour family and everybody th…”

“I thank the hon. Member for Stratford-on-Avon (Manuela Perteghella) for securing this really important debate. When the covid-19 pandemic unfolded, it tested every part of our society. It pushed our health system, our communities and our economy to the brink. In that moment of crisis, emergency financial support was ri…”
