Speeches by Bloore.

“Going back to your answer to Charlie’s question, Mr Evans, he offered you the blank cheque of what you would like on copyright laws. You very carefully sidestepped the answer of what you would like to see. You said that you would like a competitive position and certainty. Bearing in mind how important the issue of copy…”

“First of all, I need to declare an interest: I know Karim from a previous life. I just wanted to put that on the record. We have heard from the previous witnesses about the infrastructure constraints on AI growth moving forward. From the investment side, what are the constraints on AI growth in the UK? I will start wit…”

“I thank the Minister for the contents of his statement and for the diligence of his work with Sir Brian Langstaff and the victims to ensure that the inquiry’s recommendations have been delivered. Noting the incredible damage that has been done to many of our constituents’ lives as they try to return to normality, may I…”

“Will my hon. Friend give way?”

“I thank my hon. Friend for giving way. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Mansfield (Steve Yemm) on securing this important debate; he has been a champion on this issue since he came to this place. The Minister mentioned patient experience. One issue that has been brought to my attention in my surgeries is th…”

“How many IPT cases are still ongoing?”

“Thank you both for your evidence this morning. It has been really interesting. I want to talk through a couple of quick questions about the McCullough review and, specifically, the progress you have made on the recommendations that were put forward by Mr McCullough. Can you confirm that the cross-checking of journalist…”

“Thank you for all the evidence you have given today. I just want to touch on the Paramilitary Crime Task Force. Since its inception, I was going through some of the statistics and evidence of what the taskforce has achieved in the last nine years. It is quite impressive in terms of the number of searches conducted, the…”

“Is there a sense of urgency, though, in terms of those conversations? Throughout our papers and what I have been reading in the media, there seems to be a lot of mention of, “Discussions are ongoing”, but is there urgency attached to that happening? Just going through the 10 years of work that has happened, a lot of th…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Western. I congratulate the hon. Member on securing this debate. He makes a really pertinent point about the issue of transport. One of the most frustrating elements for me, apart from the initial announcement of a closure of a bank on my high street or in the villa…”

“I am sure the Leader of the House will remember with regret that he was unable to join me and Gareth Gates in switching on the Christmas lights in Redditch last year. It will not surprise him that Redditch has launched its own town of culture bid, especially given that it is the home of Royal Enfield and Bordesley Abbe…”

“I watched the manosphere documentary and what struck me was how evident it was that the individuals covered sometimes did not even believe what they were saying. It was grifting and it was an ability to make money. It terrified me. The radicalisation of the young people I meet is happening every day. They see these men…”

“First off, I just want to say thank you for coming. I do not want to underplay the amount of abuse that you get online as a given for talking at Committees such as this and the action you have taken. Thank you for coming in today.”

“How do we rate our success though, Minister? How do we know whether it is making a difference?”

“But we do not actively go out and promote it. There were 100-odd cases with the PSNI. We do not actively promote it within Northern Ireland.”

“That is really interesting. If they find the number, they can ring it and get support.”

“Can I just give one example and then I will finish? You mentioned in your evidence to the Committee via letter about trying to extend the Revenge Porn Helpline to Northern Ireland. Is that an example of where progress is being made?”

“I just have a quick question specifically about Northern Ireland. A lot of the responsibilities fall with the UK Government, but you have talked very clearly about not wanting to take complete control of the issue. There are actions and strategies being implemented on a local level by the devolved institutions. Without…”

“I reiterate the thanks to the Foreign Secretary for reconfirming that Britain will make independent foreign policy decisions in the interests of our own people. Many of my constituents are still stuck in countries in the middle east and the surrounding areas because of the closure of airspace, and some are still strugg…”

“I am always happy to be last on an announcement such as this. The businesses and young people in my constituency strongly welcome what the Secretary of State has announced today. As I listened to those on the Opposition Front Bench, I was reminded of the statement by Senator Moynihan of New York: “you are entitled to y…”
