Speeches by Franklin.

“The vast majority of faith buildings in the listed scheme are Christian. What work happens to try to encourage non-Christian faith places of worship to register on the list? Is there active work being done?”

“You have touched on the lower-income side. Is there anything you want to add on the areas where there is not an active religious community to care for the church? How do we help to ensure that it is protected?”

“Good morning, everyone. Before we move on to talking a bit more about volunteers, I want to go back to something Dame Caroline raised at the start. The vast majority of listed places of worship are churches, and obviously there is a distinct historic reason for that, but is there active work to encourage non-Christian …”

“Fantastic. Thank you. That is a really helpful and interesting answer. Moving on, what role do volunteers play in the protection of historic churches?”

“It is interesting how you talk about that ability to bring people in and get volunteers from beyond the church walls. That sounds fantastic when you have potentially a more affluent community with skills and education that will potentially give you quite a large pool of people. Where you have lower-income communities, …”

“It is really good to hear about that partnership working with local communities and local government. In June, I had the privilege of going to the launch of a new innovative partnership between the University of Surrey and Guildford and Waverley borough councils, which is seeking to apply the university’s global resear…”

“10. What support his Department is providing to local partnerships to improve public service delivery.”

“Specifically on amplifying negative, abusive and potentially misinformation content, is that something that is happening?”

In particular, I am interested to know whether you are using tools already and whether they are proactive or reactive. I know that I am giving you quite a lot here, but it is important to dig into it. We have touched on the fact t…”

I am thinking about technical solutions like automated content filtering or changes to recommendation algorithms, which could hopefully reduce the volume of abusive content. What, in your view, are its limits, especially when it c…”
