Speeches by Asato.

“It is not impossible, and the risk may be low; but you could potentially end up with a situation where in one subject, all the exam boards go on-screen. There will be some schools who do not have the funding to cover that.”

“On the back of that, do you think there is any risk that schools might consider dropping some subjects if they are not sufficiently supported to offer on-screen assessments?”

“We will wait to see you do the rebuke. I have one final question. The new principles state that awarding bodies must act with honesty and integrity. Do you have any reason to believe that is not already the case?”

“Finally, you have already said that subjects with the highest numbers will not be able to be taken on-screen, but what is the likelihood of this changing in the future, given that it is a market?”

“In 2022, our country offered a welcome to people fleeing the war in Ukraine, and since then 27,000 children have been displaced, together with 7,000 from the wider diaspora. A huge number have been identified as wanting to take Ukrainian GCSE, but instead many parents feel that their children are being forced to take R…”

“Following on from the previous questions, what assessment have you made of schools' capacity to implement on-screen assessments and the level of investment that will be required?”

“So you do not know whether it actually does anything? It sounds a little like telling someone off; they might not care.”

“Have you issued any rebukes since the tool was introduced?”

“You have updated your compliance policies for awarding organisations this year to introduce a new Chief Regulators Rebuke, as well as new principles for awarding bodies to follow. What prompted you to introduce these measures?”

“Having campaigned for a ban on nudification apps, I hugely welcome the Secretary of State’s announcement today. We have all seen how AI has been used to humiliate and sexualise women, with bullet holes, blood, gagging, bruising, and even the horror of a Jewish woman being stripped of her clothes and placed at Auschwitz…”

“A happy new year to you and your staff, Mr Speaker. Like many Members across this House, I receive regular alerts from the Environment Agency warning of potential flooding in my constituency. Every time the phone rings, I get the feeling of dread that this will be the time when my town floods. Every time the alert is d…”

“I would like to make the House aware of my appointment as the VAWG adviser to the Secretary of State for Health, and it is the commitments made by the Department of Health and Social Care in this transformative strategy that I wish to raise. Will the Minister confirm that the roll-out of the Child House model represent…”

“On the final day of the UN’s 16 days of activism against gender-based violence, I present a petition on behalf of my Lowestoft constituents on the pornography industry and the serious and long-lasting impact it is having on our society, not least in fuelling violence against women and girls. Pornography that depicts pe…”

“While for more junior staff, pay has increased in line with national minimum wages, our evidence suggests that more senior staff are not getting appropriate uplifts. What is the impact of this and what is the solution?”

“Any other barriers?”

“If we agree, what might the barriers be?”

“Do you agree that there should be formal structures for agreeing nationally recognised roles, pay and qualifications for the early years, as are in place for teaching and support staff in schools? It sounds like there is a pretty common agreement to that, but what barriers would there be to achieving it?”

“So the solution is that the Government need to increase the funding?”

“Earlier this year, I met representatives of Historic England, local historians and community representatives to address the neglect of the grade 2 listed Crown hotel in my constituency. Once a cornerstone of the community and a place where countless memories were made, it is now crumbling, and bringing the rest of our …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Jardine. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Isle of Wight West (Mr Quigley) on securing this important debate. Domestic abuse does not just claim adult lives; it devastates children. Lybah, a child survivor of domestic abuse and a SafeLives changemaker, said:…”
