Speeches by Huq.

“Order. We have had the word “you” a few times, which refers to me as the Chair.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“Order. I remind hon. Members to bob if they wish to speak so that I can work out exactly how long they have.”

“Order. I call Charlotte Cane.”

“We are going to work out the time limit for everyone, because 34 names were submitted to speak, but I think there may be even more Members in this room now. The Clerk has done the calculation and it is 75 seconds each—one minute 15 seconds. We will start, as a model of brevity, with the Chair of the Education Committee…”

“On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I wish to raise an all-party parliamentary matter that is causing international ructions. Before Christmas, a report surfaced in the name of the all-party parliamentary group for the Commonwealth. Basically, to the annoyance of APPG officers and many members of the public, it …”

“The National Crime Agency estimates that £100 billion of illicit funds flow through the UK yearly. Despite the existence of the David Cameron-created unexplained wealth orders, only 11 orders in total have ever been issued, relating to four or five cases. What is my right hon. Friend doing to stop these orders from bec…”

“The statement is hugely welcomed by me, after the disappointment of my private Member’s Bill on this subject falling off, and by my constituent Alison Martin, the mum of Coldplay’s Chris, who fed into my Bill. Will my hon. Friend the Minister assure me that he will resist the argument about over-regulation of our lives…”

“I welcome this consultation and my hon. Friend’s recognition that neither we nor this stuff exists in a bubble. What does he make of the NO FAKES—Nurture Originals, Foster Art, and Keep Entertainment Safe—Bill, currently in the US House of Representatives, which protects personality and likeness of human writers and ar…”

“More than half of EU nation states recognise Palestine, and the UK recognises it at the International Criminal Court and in UN agencies. Does the hon. Lady agree that it seems a bit inconsistent for His Majesty’s Government—of both parties—to have a long-standing policy of pursuing a two-state solution if they recognis…”

“Mathilde, is the legal framework in the UK sufficiently robust to protect—”

“New laws. Bollywood will die if all this carries on to its logical conclusion. Anyway, thank you.”

“Yes, I was going to ask about the use of AI in voice dubbing. How do you see post-production changing with AI voice dubbing? There was always dubbing of foreign language films, for example.”

“In a similar vein to our last panel, with specific reference to voiceover people and image people, I wondered, Liam, in terms of Equity, if this is such a precarious industry—we keep hearing even with Gregg Wallace that you have your presenters at the top and your short-term contract people—how unionised is it? How eas…”

“On the foreign language point, there was always dubbing. Actors always did Sylvester Stallone’s voice or whatever. At the same time, when you go to the cinema in France, you can see it in version française or version originale. To what extent could the immersive way you are talking about, which captures emotion and the…”
