Speeches by Midgley.

“I associate myself with the remarks of the Deputy Prime Minister about Holocaust Memorial Day and that British serviceman. This week, the BBC and “Good Morning Britain” have reported on the national disgrace of out-of-control waste dumps. For years, my constituents in Kirkby have lived with such a dump. People struggle…”

“Q1. If he will list his official engagements for Wednesday 28 January.”

“The Government have learned and implemented things based on the success of Eurovision. How have they done that?”

“A colleague will ask about community and legacy specifically. Unfortunately, I did not get a ticket for Eurovision. I am a big fan, so I was moody about it. Obviously I did see all those events you were talking about that were around it, and how the city had that vibrancy and was really full and buzzing. You did bring …”

“Thanks very much for coming in. Claire, what you said about culture being at the heart of the regeneration of the city is absolutely right. As a Liverpool girl, I know how the 2008 European city of culture completely transformed the city that I grew up in and brought it back to its former glory. It greatness was back, …”

“How did it work with the funding? As part of the strategy we were talking about before, how does the funding around this work on the ground when it is done but also in terms of putting together bids? It seems a bit chicken and egg: regeneration happens, but you need the money and things in place for that. Do you know w…”

“The response of the shadow Justice Secretary, the hon. Member for West Suffolk (Nick Timothy), while families are sitting with us in the Public Gallery, was one that he should be ashamed of. As the Minister knows, for me, this has always been about families first. It is crystal clear that the Government cannot progress…”

“After 14 years of Conservative austerity, councils like Knowsley have been left on the bones, with deep cuts and rising demand. I know that this Labour Government are committed to fixing a broken system and to funding councils based on their need. However, in Knowsley, where deprivation is driven by low incomes, the pr…”

“Q2. I thank the Prime Minister for his commitment to delivering the Hillsborough law, but it has been proven that MI5 spent six years misleading the public and concealing information following the Manchester Arena bombing. There was no risk to national security because it was a closed hearing, so will the Prime Ministe…”

“We know that traditional public service broadcasters are developing content to be placed on these video sharing platforms because they know that is what kids are watching and that is where the audience is. If you were advising them, what would you tell them to do to maintain educational and positive elements of the pro…”

“Going on from that, you all touched on high-quality content. Do you think the video sharing platforms are doing enough currently to ensure that educational, high-quality content is more prominent?”

“How does that relate to the algorithms?”

“Thank you very much for coming to give evidence; it has been fascinating. We have talked around challenges and pitfalls of video sharing platforms. What does the panel think are the positive benefits of video sharing platforms such as YouTube and TikTok? Amy, would you start?”

“My final question is on that. What role do you think research has to play in this to make it more beneficial? How do you think the balance is at the moment in terms of health harms from digital media platforms vis-à-vis the kind of things that could be more beneficial and how they could be used?”

“Will the Minister consider enabling all local authorities in the most deprived areas to have an above-average increase in core spending power in each year of the local government multi-year settlement, including in Liverpool city region?”

“I thank my hon. Friend for tabling these amendments. I remind the Committee that, on Second Reading, the Prime Minister said from the Dispatch Box: “This Bill will tackle that injustice so that when tragedy strikes and the state is called to account, in inquiries, inquests and other investigations, public officials—fro…”
