Speeches by Maynard.

“Beyond that? We can always talk about China too.”

“Professor Carr, which country is most on this track of figuring out what a framework is and what path there is to resolving some of these things? It requires willpower, and it is obviously expensive. Leaving aside whether you have the willpower or not, there is also brainpower, in terms of what we would need to do if w…”

“I draw Members’ attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests and the company I founded in ’96, BDA Partners. It took me to China, where I met Charles back in Beijing in 2012 and 2014.”

“I am just trying to reconcile Sam and Ben’s statements. Sam is essentially saying, “I have a list of co-operation,” and the fact that we have more Chinese PhDs doing STEM than UK students also gives universities quite an incentive to be nice, in order to keep having those students come over, because they pay the bills.…”

“We have talked a lot about cellular IoT modules. Is it accurate to be talking specifically about that, or are there other very significant modules or technologies that we should also consider in the same breath? I have a pie chart in front of me showing that China is getting up to roughly 70%, Europe is 10%, the US is …”

“Broadly.”

“Tor and Charles, any particular views on places to look for solutions?”

“Yes, but they are exporting 7 million cars a year, so the scale of it is relevant. What models do you see outside China that you think are interesting, in terms of exploring this?”

“Thames Water, which serves my constituency, embodies the systemic failures of the sector. The company is in breach of its licence conditions by not having held any investment grade credit ratings for nearly the last two years and by failing to inform Ofwat and the Government of the change of control at the company. The…”

“On 21 May, the Business and Trade Committee met representatives of more than 20 steel fabrication companies who were deeply worried about the potential loss of hundreds, or thousands, of jobs. I second that, in respect of the urgency, because 1 July is around the corner, and this represents a major risk to the sector.”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Lewell. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Didcot and Wantage (Olly Glover) for the interest, passion, desire and ideas that he brought to the debate—I think we all really appreciate that—and I thank my other hon. Friends for all their good ideas. I will give a part…”

“And a mobile phone network.”

“Sorry, I have to refer Members to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests and the stake I held in BDA Partners, which I founded in 1996. Q122 Going back to this, thank you, Silvia. You have this wonderful database. Who else has access to it now? What I am worried about is that the OECD has this wonderf…”

“It is the same country.”

“Wonderful. Thank you. What is your view on Chinese firms’ price advantage with regard to an undervaluation or otherwise of the renminbi?”

“Silvia Gavornikova, thank you very much, to you and your colleagues, for all your work and for hosting us in January as well. We saw a chart that you showed us in January with regard to state subsidies, whether it is grants, income tax concessions or cheap loans. I have it in front of me. I was just wondering whether y…”

“Just following up on that, Aline, as a practitioner, what do you see as working badly with the NSIA? You move across various jurisdictions. Seeing other jurisdictions and what this or that country does well, how would you rank us and what recommendations would you make for improvement?”

“Soumaya, would you like to give a comment on that?”

“You mentioned economic security toolboxes. Let us be imaginative here. We have a big problem. There are some actions being taken. Let us say that in five years’ time we have got our act together and moved quickly. Who would like to have a crack at what needs to change and what that would look like? Let us be optimistic…”
