Speeches by Jarvis.

“Q Do you think the Bill goes far enough to protect children and young people from the harmful effects of tobacco and vaping? Professor Linda Bauld: It is very ambitious on tobacco. We will be the first in the world—after unfortunate events in New Zealand, from my personal perspective—to introduce the smoke-free generat…”

“Q I would like to understand more about how you think the gradual change in age of sale will affect tobacco and vaping behaviour, compared with increasing the age of sale in one go. If a child has an older sibling or someone who may be bringing the products into the home, or has older friends, I do not see how this wil…”

“Q One thing that I have picked up from my conversations with youth workers and police is that children are being given vapes outside school. For example, if they are not at school for any reason or if they are particularly susceptible or vulnerable to other influences, they might be given them in the playgrounds or whe…”

“Q Lord Bichard mentioned Border Force. Will ensuring that it has enough resources to implement this Bill successfully be a consideration? In response to my question, Matthew Shanks mentioned a public health campaign. Are there any plans to have a public health campaign to back that up? Andrew Gwynne: The short answer t…”

“I do not disagree that there needs to be a plan, but at the moment I do not see one on the table. The next charter review is the time to have a serious, evidence-based discussion about funding, but any changes must strengthen, not diminish, the BBC. Through the BBC we see things about our nation and the world that we m…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Mundell. I am grateful to the right hon. Member for Maldon (Sir John Whittingdale) for the opportunity to discuss the future funding of one of our nation’s most cherished institutions. The BBC has been at the heart of our national life for more than 100 years. It em…”

“I agree with the hon. Gentleman. Does the Minister agree that the BBC’s funding model must not be a Trojan horse for those who seek to undermine its editorial independence and pave the way for figures such as Elon Musk, whom we have little opportunity to scrutinise or hold to account? Liberal Democrats are committed to…”

“Mr Davie, you have talked about the unfairness of having to choose between cutting domestic services for viewers in the UK and cutting the World Service. Can you explain the context in which you are having to make these decisions?”

“How close have you come to telling the Government that you might have to close one or more of the World Service language services?”

“Mr Davie, you have talked about the unfairness of having to choose between cutting domestic services for viewers in the UK and cutting the World Service. Can you explain the context in which you are having to make these decisions?”

“What would you do with the money that you would keep if the Government took back funding the World Service?”

“How likely is it that there will be further cuts to domestic BBC services and domestic programming to protect the licence fee contribution to the World Service?”

“How close have you come to telling the Government that you might have to close one or more of the World Service language services?”

“How likely is it that there will be further cuts to domestic BBC services and domestic programming to protect the licence fee contribution to the World Service?”

“What would you do with the money that you would keep if the Government took back funding the World Service?”

“You have mentioned the Lionesses a few times. Do you agree with the view that the Saturday 3 pm blackout slot is the best time to broadcast women’s football?”

“What do you want to see happen to raise the profile of women’s sport?”

“Finally, could I turn back to charities and the financial sustainability of charities. Data from the voluntary sector shows that charities are facing increased demand for services at the same time as costs are rising, staff are being cut and the demand for grant funding is reaching unsustainable levels. What will DCMS …”

“How do you think the increase to employer national insurance contributions will impact the services that charities are able to provide, particularly next year when the changes take effect?”

“One final question. As someone who has worked in the sector, how would you navigate a charity organisation through the next few years?”
