Speeches by Wrigley.

“It does not give me confidence when you say that the NHS is controlling all the data and it knows what it is doing with it when it is clearly making errors like this, which is one of the obvious points.”

“Who is running that audit?”

“These are using a standardised thing called Cypher, which ran from 2020 to 2023. Is that right?”

“That is surely good—as we said before, we do not want a single supplier—having different trusts using different tools. So long as they comply with the overall data model, so long as they comply with the NHS standards, surely that should be encouraged and indeed built upon. Clearly there are areas—my own hospitals in De…”

“I am not sure that is accurate, from the numbers I am hearing from people. I hear that 30% of the population have Manchester-style systems, and other providers provide similar things, perhaps not with all the bells and whistles, that provide up to the level of and including the single patient record that exists in Manc…”

“They are obliged to. They have no option.”

“It sounds like the Secretary of State is hearing a fairly unanimous view from members of the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, which is good. Today’s ban is a welcome start, but it is only a start and is not sufficient. Does the Secretary of State agree with me and the Committee that, in addition to parents…”

“Palantir appears to have a habit of avoiding competitive tender and scrutiny by using free trials and locking up the contract specifications after getting a foot in the door. I congratulate the London Mayor on stopping the recent potential contract offered by the Met police without a competitive tender process. However…”

“5. What discussions her Department has had with police forces on the adequacy of competitive tendering for trials of AI.”

“I am not sure I see the purpose of named day questions, which we do not use very often. Questions are answered in reasonable timeframes, so I do not see the need for them. I can see that they might be particularly necessary if we have got something absolutely urgent, but normally with a written question you have enough…”

“I do not. I find AI is exceptionally good at summarising documents, giving me a three-minute version of a five-minute speech. That is absolutely fantastic. But creating new things? It is not creative. AI does not actually create anything new; it can only replicate what other people have written before. Arguably, you co…”

“We use them extensively. You might have seen that I am quite high on the list—I think I am No. 3 on the list of people who use them extensively. What I really like about them is that when you have, say, an oral question in the house and you get the usual “Yes, no, maybe, but if, unless it’s Friday”-type answer—a non-re…”

“Thank you, Chair. I am Martin Wrigley, MP for Newton Abbot. I was elected in July 2024. It is an honour to be part of this process.”

“May I add one thing? Having submitted well over 1,000 questions over the past year, I would like to thank the Table Office for going through all the questions and for all the work that they do behind the scenes. Without them, it would be very hard work. I would like to put on the record my thanks to all the staff who d…”

“I do not think so. I think you are looking at many of the right things. There was not anything that struck me other than the features that I have talked about to help us reduce duplication for the Ministers.”

“It is very straightforward. There is a bug in the oral questions system. When you click to submit a topical question, you then have to click that it is topical again within the body. But you do not have that bug in the written question system. I am a computer architect of 40 years, so I deal with systems easily.”
