Speeches by Wrigley.

“Will the Minister give way?”

“The AI that we see right now is fleeting. In two, three, five or 10 years’ time, it will be continuous learning AI. It will not be trained on, “Here’s a language model, this is what you have learned and therefore this is what you can talk about”. It will be continuously learning. It will be always fed data. It will not…”

“This has been very interesting, and I was fascinated that you used the iPad as an example. A lot of people say that that was stolen from the film “2001: A Space Odyssey” in 1968, which had Newspads in its early scenes. That in itself should probably still be in copyright, but there we go. You talked a lot about transpa…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for securing this important debate. The distinction between Crown post offices and franchised post offices cannot be drawn heavily enough. In my constituency, we lost Crown post offices in Newton Abbot and in Dawlish, and the one in Teignmouth—which I believe is the last in my constituency; all t…”

“—R&D spend, which, interestingly, has the same sorts of concepts, I suspect, we have been looking at trying to understand R&D spend across the whole Government. Do you think we have, collectively, sufficient data on R&D spending in general?”

“Okay. I am interested in how you stop projects and stop teams. I am also interested in the effectiveness of R&D tax credits.”

“Yes, but I am still thinking about the larder.”

“May I ask two very brief questions?”

“That is interesting, thank you. It is nice to know that nothing changes. I spent many years building data warehouses out of relational database systems and trying to combine things to ask sensible questions, which is very much, “What is the question that you want to know?”, which is where you started. You have talked a…”

“That is obviously why. Yes.”

“Clearly, your library is Dewey Decimal. You are categorised. You are put in a pigeonhole. You are put on a shelf. You are siloed. In a larder, you are not. Interesting. Thank you for that. Sorry. I will go back to—”

“Will the hon. Lady give way?”

“We have talked an awful lot about the business model of these platforms causing the behaviour we are trying to examine. I find it is always a good rule to follow the money. Mr Ahmed, you are the first person to talk about advertisers. I find it slightly strange that no one has yet identified the behaviour of the paymas…”

“I draw the House’s attention to my entry on the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. At Teignbridge district council, I oversaw the commencement of council house building for the first time in 30 years. Will the Secretary of State meet me and others to discuss what can be done to make it easier for other councils …”

“I draw attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. Talking of localism, district councils provided a useful amount of local accountability. How will the Minister ensure that local accountability continues when the regional identity may be different? May I also ask about the future of towns an…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered railway services in the South West. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dr Allin-Khan. The south-west is hugely reliant on the mainline railway—it is an economic lifeline. As I am the MP for Newton Abbot, which includes Dawlish, Teignmouth and Kingsteignton—all …”

“My hon. Friend makes a very good point. It is even harder for those down in Cornwall than it is for those in Devon. Both of these significant impacts are examples of the historic lack of investment in the railways in the south-west. In the south-west, we can often feel like second-class travellers—watching our services…”

“I agree entirely that the impact of Old Oak Common is immense, and will not be just during the construction phase. The six or seven years of delays and cancellations at weekends and Christmases have been covered in this Chamber before, so I will not repeat the list of weeks and weeks of diversions to Euston and signifi…”

“The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right: we need more services on all these lines to support our constituents. However, everything I have outlined will be interrupted by the creation of the HS2 link to Old Oak Common. High-speed rail is a welcome improvement to our nation’s infrastructure, but the implementation of that…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for that valuable point. He is absolutely right that Wales has been seen off, in terms of funding.”
