Speeches by Gilbert.

“Although I welcome my hon. Friend’s statement, given all we have heard today, my constituents and I are concerned about the reported closure of the Conflict and Security Monitoring Project. I have seen at first hand how important its work is, and how important the projects are that it undertakes, in order to monitor hu…”

“I welcome the measures that my right hon. Friend has announced today, which will help ease the cost of living pressures on families in my constituency, and on its very many businesses and attractions—and in time for the Scottish school summer holidays. She is always welcome for award-winning fish and chips in my consti…”

“Thank you both for coming along today. What is the Government’s view of the wider landscape of transparency mechanisms available to MPs and the public? What is the role of FOI requests within that?”

“You mentioned AI being an underlying reason why these increases may be happening. Are there any other underlying reasons?”

“In your written evidence, you mentioned an increase in FOI appeals. How large has that increase been? What do you think may be driving it?”

“Is the freedom of information and transparency landscape changing within Government, or for Government?”

“I agree. While the reports have been very interesting, I fail to understand why that collaboration was ever allowed to take place. It would seem from all the evidence that collaborating with those pimping websites has not saved one woman from domestic abuse or the violence they have faced. So I wholeheartedly agree wit…”

“I wholeheartedly agree. A recent report found that commercial sexual exploitation is so linked with organised crime that it could not be further underground. All of that is linked to violence against women and girls, and our Government are working hard to challenge and solve that over the coming years. We should be in …”

“I wholly agree. In my Edinburgh North and Leith constituency, our local councils want to tackle some of these issues, which is very hard to do without funds. They also want to support and provide services for women who are trying to exit prostitution. I wholeheartedly agree with the points that the hon. Gentleman makes…”

“I pay tribute to Ash Regan for her work and for bringing forward the unbuyable Bill. Women are not to be bought and paid for, and buying sex is not consent. The Scottish Government’s reasons for voting down the Bill were poor, and in their debate in the Scottish Parliament in February, the Minister said they had “instr…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered the matter of sex trafficking in Scotland. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dr Murrison.
