Speeches by McEvoy.

“It is interesting that you mention taxpayers footing the bill, because it is something that I am interested in, particularly in my constituency of Darlington. We are talking to people about their contributions in the round, instead of looking at contributions in isolation— such as that one pay cheque or that one servic…”

“I wanted to come in, because I ran out of time on the last panel. I thought you would be well placed to answer about the trust point, because nobody mentioned trust—I missed it if they did—on the last panel. You have all mentioned it individually. One of the big problems we have in our growth forecasting is around peop…”

“It is interesting that you make the later life point, because I see people living longer as progress and the result of spending hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayer money on making people live longer and do well. So, we need to tackle those issues head-on. If we were to take some best practice from the Australian…”

“Will the hon. Gentleman give way?”

“Will my hon. Friend give way? I pay tribute to her for the strength that she is showing. Indeed, I pay tribute to all Members on both sides of the House who are dealing with this very difficult issue. Does she agree that we already have assisted dying in this country? Legislation already allows for choice, proving that…”

“I pay tribute to Conservative Members for embracing their role in opposition. They are throwing their whole heart into it, and it is wonderful to see them in their rightful place—long may it continue. I am the Member for Darlington, where a quarter of the Treasury is based, and my wonderful home town is filled with peo…”

“The Conservatives stopped answering the phone to Labour; the industry ghosted them; and then the country rejected them. But, on the Finance Bill, not 100 days into this new Labour Government, Britain is back open for business with billions of pounds of investment in green technology, new nuclear, solar and hydro projec…”

“I thank the hon. Member for raising that issue, because there are lots of different nudge notifications. We can understand why, because it is an unregulated space and the app is trying to get as much data as possible—if we are not paying for the service, we are the service. We all know that as adults, but the young peo…”

“You have invested in the tech needed, but what is the impact of that so far? Do you feel like, with these investments, you now have sufficient expertise to be able to try to assess some of the issues facing us with crypto? Are you still at the early stages after that investment?”

“We are getting to the point where we understand that you would not say that the whole value of your organisation is based on this small number of fines. What other metrics of success do you use that you can share with us to demonstrate the value of the work that you are doing and the impact that your work with 150 peop…”

“Last week we heard from the Governor of the Bank of England. He was questioned about frozen Russian foreign reserves and the $300 billion figure. His exact words were that we have “very little of it” in the UK. As lots of people have been advocating seizing some of these frozen reserves, I wondered whether you could sh…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for raising the really important—indeed, deeply concerning—issue of the rise of anti-women hate, with the perpetrators marketing themselves as successful men. What we are seeing is that boys look at such videos and do not agree with everything that is said, but little nuggets make sense to them. …”

“Moving on to cryptocurrencies and cryptoassets, I have a question for Chris Watts specifically, with his cybersecurity background. I wondered if you could tell us a little bit more about if you are detecting the use of cryptoassets and how it is affecting your work.”

“Would you say that you are detecting greater evasion of sanctions through the usage of cryptoassets? Is it just the same as it always has been? What is your analysis of it?”

“Thank you, Mr Dowd. I am grateful to the Minister for her response. We have had an insightful and cohesive debate, and I thank all Members for their time and expertise. It is clear to me—and, I am sure, to all of us—that innovation has outstripped legislation, leaving our children and young people shouting for help. Cr…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered online safety for children and young people. Just give me one second to get my notes in order, Mr Dowd.”

“I will!”
