:00:11. > :00:12.Hello there, and welcome to Thursday in Parliament.

:00:13. > :00:17.Should the foreign office have had a plan

:00:18. > :00:21.in the event of the UK voting to leave the EU?

:00:22. > :00:26.A committee of MPs certainly thinks so.

:00:27. > :00:29.Don't you think at an offichal level you should have been carrying out

:00:30. > :00:31.some kind of preparation? In the Lords, there's a call

:00:32. > :00:46.for a second referendum It does sometimes taken in ly better

:00:47. > :00:50.way, Mr Speaker, shocked my family and reduce me to tears, the

:00:51. > :00:52.vitriolic and criminal levels of personal abuse and I and colleagues

:00:53. > :00:54.across this house have faced. Philip Hammond, for a lack

:00:55. > :00:58.of contingency planning to deal with a Leave vote

:00:59. > :01:01.in the EU referendum. The UK voted by 52%

:01:02. > :01:03.to 48% to leave the EU, a result that had not been predicted

:01:04. > :01:06.by many politicians, In the fortnight since,

:01:07. > :01:10.financial markets have tumbled and the pound has reached a new low

:01:11. > :01:15.against other currencies. Appearing before the committee

:01:16. > :01:18.which scrutinises his department, the foreign secretary was asked

:01:19. > :01:32.if his office had been This committee, in its report on the

:01:33. > :01:38.implications of the referendum, in April, were pointing out th`t there

:01:39. > :01:44.would be immediate challengds for the office. And yet, the office

:01:45. > :01:52.appears to have sat there whth the political instruction to do nothing.

:01:53. > :01:58.Mr German throughout the referendum campaign, I drew attention, as did

:01:59. > :02:03.others in the campaign to lhkely consequences of a leave votd, and

:02:04. > :02:06.the reaction that I heard w`s that this was scaremongering. Don't you

:02:07. > :02:08.think at an official level xou should have been carrying ott some

:02:09. > :02:14.kind of preparation within the department? The civil service,

:02:15. > :02:20.including the dramatic servhce, works to the government of the DUP.

:02:21. > :02:26.Gentleman I can assure you ht was not an oversight -- 's Mr Gdrman I

:02:27. > :02:30.can assure you was not an oversight. We discussed whether there should be

:02:31. > :02:34.contingency planning, and concluded it was not appropriate to continue

:02:35. > :02:37.planning continues these other than planning focused on the verx

:02:38. > :02:39.immediate pressures that might come on the gradual markets.

:02:40. > :02:41.The committee moved on to whether the department

:02:42. > :02:50.It is the view of this commhttee there is going to need to bd a step

:02:51. > :02:57.change in the office of the budget, doubling or tripling it to deal with

:02:58. > :03:02.the challenge of dealing with the EU and the advancement of all the

:03:03. > :03:05.opportunities that will fit the United Kingdom outside the Duropean

:03:06. > :03:09.Union. What are you doing about bidding for extra resources for the

:03:10. > :03:13.office, and what is your sense of the scale at which the office would

:03:14. > :03:18.need to be stepped up to actually really take advantage of thd

:03:19. > :03:19.situation that the office is now presented with?

:03:20. > :03:23.But the minister didn't think there was a prospect of mord money.

:03:24. > :03:31.I think our economy will face a difficult period, at least hn the

:03:32. > :03:36.during which government revdnues are likely to fall, and we will face

:03:37. > :03:42.significant constraints. I do not think it is remotely realistic to

:03:43. > :03:46.talk about... To talk about budget doubling. The budget of the Foreign

:03:47. > :03:48.Office is a minute proportion of overall government expendittre. It

:03:49. > :03:52.is your view that the Foreign Office should continue to suffer that level

:03:53. > :03:56.of austerity, despite the f`ct that our diplomatic position and role in

:03:57. > :04:00.the world has completely ch`nged, and the scale of the challenge

:04:01. > :04:04.facing the United Kingdom democratically has just gond off the

:04:05. > :04:08.cell? We may indeed need to bid for additional resources, to de`l with

:04:09. > :04:13.the specific pressures around us. What I'm saying to the commhttee

:04:14. > :04:16.that I don't think, if the dconomic and fiscal circumstances th`t the

:04:17. > :04:20.country is like to face, ovdr the coming few years, that talk of

:04:21. > :04:22.doubling or trebling departlental budgets is remotely realisthc.

:04:23. > :04:24.So when did Philip Hammond think the UK would begin

:04:25. > :04:29.the official withdrawal process known as article 50?

:04:30. > :04:37.My judgment is that it would not be in the best interest of the UK to

:04:38. > :04:43.trigger article 50 immediatdly, article 50 set the clock ticking.

:04:44. > :04:47.And I don't think that at the moment, for various reasons, not

:04:48. > :04:52.least of which, we don't have a new Prime Minister in post, for the

:04:53. > :04:59.moment, we are not in a poshtion to begin that negotiation immediately,

:05:00. > :05:02.and therefore it would be unwise to start the process ticking bx

:05:03. > :05:07.triggering article 50 full stop although the Brussels institutions

:05:08. > :05:11.may not like that coming in conversations, bilateral

:05:12. > :05:12.conversations, I detect a considerable understanding of our

:05:13. > :05:14.position amongst our EU partners. What about the rights of EU

:05:15. > :05:24.citizens living in the UK? I would like to see us being able to

:05:25. > :05:29.reach an early solution that gives reassurance to those people, but I

:05:30. > :05:35.would not recommend a unilateral commitment by the British Government

:05:36. > :05:40.before we received any assurance about a reciprocal approach to the

:05:41. > :05:46.position of UK nationals in other European Union countries. It sounds

:05:47. > :05:49.awful lot like people were right to live and work, people who h`ve made

:05:50. > :05:56.their families and lives thdre, they are part of your negotiating

:05:57. > :06:00.process. I voted remain. I voted remain too. I wanted to continue

:06:01. > :06:07.that. Are you saying that your saying your rights are part of the

:06:08. > :06:10.negotiating process? So long as the part of the EU those rights are

:06:11. > :06:19.guaranteed as of right by the terms of an ownership of the U. As we

:06:20. > :06:23.cease to be a member, the rhghts of our citizens, and the citizdns of

:06:24. > :06:25.other countries to live, to work, to establish, to invest in bushnesses,

:06:26. > :06:31.to own property, we'll all have to be agreed. I believe they should be

:06:32. > :06:33.agreed on a fully reciprocal basis, and I hope they will be, and I

:06:34. > :06:35.expect they will be. MPs have been sharing some `ppalling

:06:36. > :06:38.examples of abuse they and their constituents have

:06:39. > :06:39.encountered from people on social media sites such

:06:40. > :06:42.as Facebook and Twitter. The Commons was debating how to deal

:06:43. > :06:45.with the bullies who use the anonymity available onlhne

:06:46. > :06:49.to hurl abuse and make thre`ts. One MP described how she'd been

:06:50. > :07:01.reduced to tears I came here with the full knowledge

:07:02. > :07:07.and expectation that my words and actions would be held up to public

:07:08. > :07:09.scrutiny, and that is right. But it has sometimes taken my breath away,

:07:10. > :07:12.though, Madam Deputy Speaker. What has sometimes taken my breath

:07:13. > :07:14.away, shocked my family, and reduced me to tears,

:07:15. > :07:16.is the vitriolic, hateful, and sometimes criminal levels

:07:17. > :07:18.of personal abuse that I and colleagues across the House

:07:19. > :07:23.have faced. But the greatest tragedy of this new

:07:24. > :07:28.technology fall has been thd advancement in online bullyhng

:07:29. > :07:32.abuse, and threats, and I know this horrific experience is not just

:07:33. > :07:36.confined to those buzz across this chamber, so I want to save directly

:07:37. > :07:40.to those watching from outshde Parliament who have been victims of

:07:41. > :07:43.online abuse, from all of us here today, that we stand right beside

:07:44. > :07:48.you, because we know how it feels. We understand the pain you've been

:07:49. > :07:52.through, and you can guarantee that we will do our best to addrdss this

:07:53. > :07:56.list you. For the past 14 months I've been called and receivd

:07:57. > :08:02.messages calling for immedi`te shot as a traitor, strangers havd

:08:03. > :08:06.attacked my father. This debate today is about enabling Parliament

:08:07. > :08:10.to send a clear message to the industry, to social media and do

:08:11. > :08:15.online worlds to say enough is enough. I think we need to be clear

:08:16. > :08:21.to online providers, in our country, that if they fail to take sdnsible

:08:22. > :08:25.measures to reduce online abuse that we ever Parliament shotld be

:08:26. > :08:29.considering putting in placd a levy to cover the costs of polichng that

:08:30. > :08:35.are being incurred purely as a result of online abuse and crimes.

:08:36. > :08:40.This is something done in other areas and I think here about the

:08:41. > :08:45.payments made by football tdams to have policing football stadhum full

:08:46. > :08:47.stop this is nothing new idda, but certainly an idea that my

:08:48. > :08:53.concentrates the mind when ht comes to online abuse in future. Lany

:08:54. > :08:56.members have a spirit of thhs online, nothing that is affdcted me

:08:57. > :09:02.terribly, but on one occasion which I simply posted online some comments

:09:03. > :09:06.about some boy racers causing anti-social behaviour, withhn about

:09:07. > :09:10.one hour I was being abused from all round the globe by boy racers who

:09:11. > :09:17.had obviously noticed I defhcit in my sex life and were offering a wide

:09:18. > :09:23.range... Of suggestions to hmprove this, some of this would actually

:09:24. > :09:26.end in certain death. I had to take the post down not because I was

:09:27. > :09:30.personally offended all concerned, but because I could simply not

:09:31. > :09:33.monitor it that the level of foul language of abuse left on mx

:09:34. > :09:36.Facebook page was for everyone to see.

:09:37. > :09:47.I vividly recall my daughter's transition to secondary school when

:09:48. > :09:51.her head teacher got parents together to talk about the perils of

:09:52. > :09:53.Facebook will do at that tile social media was growing in popularity but

:09:54. > :09:57.was still is small, not the multitude of platforms that there

:09:58. > :10:01.are today. And the phrase that you use which will always stick with me,

:10:02. > :10:06.is that to be quite frank, children are losing the ability to elpathise,

:10:07. > :10:09.because, in her view, there were making their unpleasant comlents

:10:10. > :10:17.online, and unlike in the playground, when you do it on your

:10:18. > :10:20.smartphone, use and you don't see the reaction on somebody's phase, so

:10:21. > :10:24.you will not learn about thd hurt, you simply bang out a message which

:10:25. > :10:26.can have a terrible impact, but that ability to understand, comprehends

:10:27. > :10:29.the hurt you have caused, is disappearing. My issues with

:10:30. > :10:32.particular reference to Twitter and Facebook are the apparent l`ck of a

:10:33. > :10:37.coherent policy on what acttally constitutes online abuse. I would

:10:38. > :10:45.like to give a few examples. Twitter policy states: and I quote: we do

:10:46. > :10:51.not tolerate behaviour crossing the line into abuse, including behaviour

:10:52. > :10:57.that harasses, intimidates, or uses fear to silence and other user's

:10:58. > :11:02.voice. So, with this in mind, when I received a threat on Twitter during

:11:03. > :11:06.the referendum debate, saying, and I quote: we'll see what you s`y when

:11:07. > :11:15.an immigrant rates you or one of your kids. I reported it to Twitter

:11:16. > :11:19.using their online pro form`. Surely this racist, violent and targeted

:11:20. > :11:23.abuse crossed that line into behaviour that harasses and

:11:24. > :11:30.intimidates, which pretty policy claims to be against. But no, the

:11:31. > :11:33.response I received from twhtter was: it's not currently violently --

:11:34. > :11:34.violating the twitter rules. The Minister said social media

:11:35. > :11:43.platforms had to work In terms of the online world will

:11:44. > :11:48.suddenly have these companids which in many respects are bigger and more

:11:49. > :11:53.influential than many nation states. I mean, Facebook has a population of

:11:54. > :11:58.1.2 billion. That has a poptlation of 300 million. And yes, thdy are to

:11:59. > :12:00.a certain extent left to thdir own devices, to create their own rules,

:12:01. > :12:02.their own society and regul`tion. You're watching Thursday in

:12:03. > :12:13.Parliament with me, Alicia LcCarthy Let's go back to the impact

:12:14. > :12:16.of the UK's vote to leave the EU. In the Lords, peers were worried

:12:17. > :12:18.about what it might Specifically they wanted to know

:12:19. > :12:22.about the impact on millions of pounds of research funding under

:12:23. > :12:24.a scheme called Horizon 2020 and the possible consequencds

:12:25. > :12:27.for a project known as Eraslus, which enables the exchange of EU

:12:28. > :12:34.students between nations. The referendum result has no

:12:35. > :12:38.immediate effect on the right of researchers to apply and participate

:12:39. > :12:41.in Horizon 2020 nor on thosd currently participating

:12:42. > :12:42.in or about to embark The future of UK access

:12:43. > :12:48.to European research and innovation funding

:12:49. > :12:49.and to the Erasmus programme will be

:12:50. > :12:53.part of wider discussions whth Is she aware that in spite

:12:54. > :13:09.of similar reassurances givdn by ministers of state for univdrsities

:13:10. > :13:12.and science in the other pl`ce that there is already anecdotal dvidence

:13:13. > :13:15.of researchers being asked to stand down from European programmds

:13:16. > :13:17.particularly when they are lead It was particularly

:13:18. > :13:31.difficult for those Is the Minister aware of thdse

:13:32. > :13:51.difficulties that are likely to arise and how the Swiss

:13:52. > :13:54.example means that associatd status, unless we keep freedom of movement,

:13:55. > :13:57.would be of no value? The Vice Chancellor

:13:58. > :13:59.of Ruskin tells me as I understand it that they are doing

:14:00. > :14:01.important research with a University in Portugal

:14:02. > :14:03.on earthquake studies. Perhaps an analogy that

:14:04. > :14:04.is This funding, this

:14:05. > :14:07.research could be in jeopardy and so I would ask the

:14:08. > :14:10.Minister to give us some assurance of the attention of the soft power

:14:11. > :14:18.and soft diplomacy that needs to be sustained into the future

:14:19. > :14:26.and how such research importance to vulnerable

:14:27. > :14:29.communities, is going to be sustained into

:14:30. > :14:31.the Of course the Government and I

:14:32. > :14:35.entirely understand the concerns We have a world class higher

:14:36. > :14:45.education sector and we want to support it and make sure that

:14:46. > :14:49.going forward it is able to still be taking its position as the best

:14:50. > :14:52.in the world and that is whx with the sector throughout the

:14:53. > :14:56.coming months and years in order to make sure we provide the support

:14:57. > :14:59.that their voice is heard and that we can try and do all we can to make

:15:00. > :15:03.sure that we maintain the Lady Evans Staying in the Lords

:15:04. > :15:10.a Labour peer called for a second Lady King, formerly the Labour MP,

:15:11. > :15:14.Oona King, said she didn't want that vote now, but once the UK h`d

:15:15. > :15:17.negotiated the terms of It is fair to say that most people

:15:18. > :15:21.did not realise that the EU referendum and a Brexit votd

:15:22. > :15:24.would trigger the chain of dvents We have got our economy in crisis,

:15:25. > :15:31.major companies lining up at this moment right here right

:15:32. > :15:34.now to leave Britain. We have got jobs moving out

:15:35. > :15:37.right here right now. People does not realise those

:15:38. > :15:48.consequences and I think thd main thing is they did not know

:15:49. > :15:50.because the architects of their campaign themselves did not

:15:51. > :15:53.know what the final deal In the interests of democracy

:15:54. > :15:57.the British people must be given the chance to vote on a deal

:15:58. > :16:00.to leave the EU once we finally know what that ddal

:16:01. > :16:03.is and what that deal costs. In terms of our economy,

:16:04. > :16:05.our costs, our pensions, our future, our influence,

:16:06. > :16:07.our geographical borders and last but not least our precious hdentity

:16:08. > :16:10.as a tolerant open facing n`tion. The only way that we can

:16:11. > :16:21.have a second bite at this cherry is to have a political partx

:16:22. > :16:24.with its main manifesto comlitment not to break with the EU and test

:16:25. > :16:27.that at a general election. I am something of an expert

:16:28. > :16:29.on losing elections. And I know the feeling having fought

:16:30. > :16:35.eight general elections, won four, lost four,

:16:36. > :16:37.the feelings you go When you lose your opponent lied,

:16:38. > :16:43.your opponent made promises he could not

:16:44. > :16:59.possibly keep. Probably you opponent had more money

:17:00. > :17:01.than you and the place were on the side of your opponent.

:17:02. > :17:05.I have to say it was a triulph for British democracy.

:17:06. > :17:09.I simply say to the House, particularly I say to this House,

:17:10. > :17:11.this is essentially an advisory House.

:17:12. > :17:14.The public is not an advisory public.

:17:15. > :17:25.And for this House, particularly as I said to my friends at the other

:17:26. > :17:30.end, amongst whom there is no appetite for a referendum

:17:31. > :17:35.whatsoever, but I do say to my friends in this House,

:17:36. > :17:39.it is not our job to thwart the will of the British people.

:17:40. > :17:43.I can't believe that people want another one.

:17:44. > :17:45.The British people were not deceived.

:17:46. > :18:06.We should not just scorn the decision.

:18:07. > :18:09.We should not deride the re`sons they did it for.

:18:10. > :18:11.We should accept what they said and get on with being

:18:12. > :18:31.At the end of the formal negotiations there will

:18:32. > :18:37.But that will surely requird further authorisation

:18:38. > :18:39.whether popular, parliament`ry, or more probably both.

:18:40. > :18:41.But today is not the day for that debate.

:18:42. > :18:43.Let us have negotiations, a full negotiation package, and put

:18:44. > :18:47.My concern then is if the ptblic said they did not agree

:18:48. > :18:50.with that there would be an attempt to rerun and rerun and rerun.

:18:51. > :18:53.There is this issue we have to be worried about.

:18:54. > :18:55.As politicians we must re-engage with the public.

:18:56. > :19:04.They have shown that they h`ve got distrust in the political elite

:19:05. > :19:07.We can increase that distrust if we say to people keep on voting

:19:08. > :19:12.I know what is not what the noble lady wants.

:19:13. > :19:15.Back in the Commons, the new Shadow Environment Secretary

:19:16. > :19:17.Rachael Maskell raised the importance of EU migrant

:19:18. > :19:26.How will the Secretary of State ensure our crops

:19:27. > :19:28.are harvested in this uncertain period through securing

:19:29. > :19:33.I thank the honourable lady for her question and I welcome her

:19:34. > :19:37.She was a fantastic advocatd for her constituents during the very

:19:38. > :19:42.I look forward to working with her very much.

:19:43. > :19:55.In terms of the issue of agricultural workers,

:19:56. > :19:57.my constituency is a great producer of salad vegetables, onions.

:19:58. > :20:00.I understand the importance of those workers to our

:20:01. > :20:04.It will be one of the key things we are working on at Defra,

:20:05. > :20:06.and putting the case across Government to make

:20:07. > :20:08.sure we continue to have that supply of workers.

:20:09. > :20:11.Mr Speaker, it is evident in the responses from the Government

:20:12. > :20:15.that her department has not made contingency plans for a Leave vote.

:20:16. > :20:18.Failing in its duty in government to not only fully protect one

:20:19. > :20:21.of our major industries but also those who work on it.

:20:22. > :20:24.In the light of this can shd now say what actions she has taken

:20:25. > :20:27.to confirm that all EU citizens working in farming can remahn

:20:28. > :20:30.in the EU as yesterday's vote called for and that she has

:20:31. > :20:36.already made representation to the Home Office on this?

:20:37. > :20:39.It is absolutely clear that whilst we remain members of the EU

:20:40. > :20:45.Those workers will continue to work in those areas.

:20:46. > :20:47.But the reality is that I cannot make decisions
