Speeches by Asato.

“I absolutely agree that kinship carers, parents and partners are different from those of the primary victim, and they need support in their own right. When we fail those third-party victims, we fail the primary victim, too. We allow them to disengage from the legal process, and we deprive them of the wraparound support…”

“What modelling have you done, if any, to understand the impact of a levy on international students?”

“Finally, if maintenance grants were to be reintroduced, what should be their terms and conditions?”

“Will the Government’s target for two thirds of 18 to 25-year-olds to enter higher education, technical education and apprenticeships be achievable given the financial challenges facing HE?”

“Following on from that, what additional protections might students and staff need in the event of insolvency that they currently do not enjoy?”

The Government’s commitment to tackling violence against women and girls was never just a pledge, never just a slogan; it has always been about action—about changing things for women, girls and victims everywhere for the better. We have seen that t…”

“No, I will make progress. The expansion of specialist domestic abuse courts is also very exciting. I am concerned, however, by the provisions that allow for the automatic re-release of recalled perpetrators after 56 days, and fear that they may place some victims at serious risk of harm. Those who perpetrate crimes suc…”

“The Government’s early years strategy states that it will provide Ofsted with additional investment to raise the quality and consistency of early years inspections. Can you give us any further information on what this will look like and what you might need?”

“Can I just quickly follow up?
