Speeches by Ribeiro-Addy.

“What impact do you think the changes could have on integration? How would we go about assessing that?”

“Do you want to add anything on the fiscal and economic impacts that might arise from extending the qualifying time? Will anything about those be particularly negative or positive ?”

“What are the main factors the Government should consider when developing plans to change the eligibility for indefinite leave to remain?”

“To pick up on that point about things going slightly beyond the internet. How has technology and the proliferation of extremist content online altered the radicalisation process?”

“Just a question about algorithms on that point, the role that they are playing on pushing extreme content to users, and how much control the Government have over that—and AI; we might go back to the AI. If one person can answer the algorithm question and one person can answer the AI.”

“If I have time, I will come back to that, but I have to get through some other questions before I get in trouble.”

“Thank you very much to all of you. I want to go back to something you were saying, Mr Ahmed, the way in which you described what people are doing with copyright. I have not heard it articulated like that before, so thank you very much; it was very interesting. This is not the first time you have probably said something…”

“I am always very pleased to speak in this House during Black History Month. I say that not out of ceremony, but out of conviction. I believe that it matters for black Britons watching today to see this Parliament take time to reflect on our history, our struggle and our contributions. It matters that our story is not c…”

“Will the hon. Member give way?”

“Will the hon. Member give way?”

“I want to start by saying clearly and plainly that people who are fleeing war, famine, persecution and life-threatening situations are fully deserving of our compassion and support. I fear sometimes in these debates it sounds as if we have lost our humanity, empathy and compassion. Despite what is commonly stated on so…”

“There are other countries in Europe that have physical ID cards, and some have digital ones, and they still have exactly the same issue, so what is so different and special about ours?”

“When do you plan to publish your first strategic priorities document and your first annual report?”

“But is it on the police to specifically track and prosecute offences, or will it be a different department?”

“How do you see the offence of criminalising via social media posts being policed? Is it going to be on the social media companies to report the posts, or will the police be expected to track the posts and investigate?”

“I want to ask some questions about the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill and how it might affect your day-to-day work. Will what you are able to do day to day and its effectiveness change once the Bill comes into force?”

“Yes, or in terms of people being returned and potentially just coming back again, as my colleagues have said.”

“Since the treaty came into place, 26 asylum seekers have been sent back to France. One left France soon after arriving, and we do not know where that individual is. Are you particularly concerned about such instances? What provisions have been made to ensure that something like that is not a common occurrence?”

“The treaty is under legal challenge in France. Do you think that it should be suspended while legal proceedings are ongoing? Does that affect your work in any way?”

“If you could, that will be very helpful. To go back to the parliamentary scrutiny, you have talked about being accountable to Parliament, and I think that that is important, but the treaty was not subject to parliamentary scrutiny at all. Do you think it was the right decision to bypass Parliament to secure that agreem…”
