Speeches by Jarvis.

“Good morning. The Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2024 said that many countries find the news media increasingly challenged by rising misinformation and disinformation, low trust, attacks by politicians, and an uncertain business environment. How does the World Service approach working in such cases?”

“Do you think most licence fee payers know that they are paying for the World Service?”

“Is there a moral responsibility for the Government to say, “This is a national security matter,” and accept that they should be responsible for funding the World Service?”

“If the Government will not accept responsibility, should they raise the licence fee instead, specifically to pay for the World Service?”

“Do you think the BBC is winning the information war?”

Since I became the MP for Eastleigh, I have been contacted by numerous constituents who have been asked to pay back thousands in overpayments by the DWP.

Eastleigh is facing an acute NHS dental crisis, with many of my constituents unable to access basic dental care. By t…”
