0:00:06 > 0:00:10Hello, welcome to Thursday in Parliament.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14On this programme, the Home Secretary says the government
0:00:14 > 0:00:17will take robust action once it's clear who's responsible
0:00:17 > 0:00:19for the attempted murder of a former Russian spy
0:00:19 > 0:00:25and his daughter in Salisbury.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28The investigation is moving at pace and the Government will act without
0:00:28 > 0:00:31hesitation as facts become clear.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34There's a call for better support for young people
0:00:34 > 0:00:35and children's mental health.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37And, as MPs mark International Women's Day,
0:00:37 > 0:00:41one argues there's still sexism in the House of Commons.
0:00:41 > 0:00:48We see it in this House. A juvenile, grinning idiocy that is so offensive
0:00:48 > 0:00:50sometimes.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54The Home Secretary has described the poisoning with nerve gas
0:00:54 > 0:00:57of the Russian former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Yulia as a "brazen and reckless act."
0:01:01 > 0:01:04The pair were found collapsed on a bench in Salisbury
0:01:04 > 0:01:06city centre on Sunday.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Counter-terrorism officers are working to find the origin
0:01:08 > 0:01:10of the nerve agent.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14In a statement to MPs, Amber Rudd said it was important
0:01:14 > 0:01:17to avoid speculation about who was responsible,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20but added when that became clear, the UK would respond
0:01:20 > 0:01:23in "a robust manner."
0:01:23 > 0:01:27She gave MPs a timeline of the events at the weekend.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30I want now to turn to the speculation, of which there has
0:01:30 > 0:01:32been much, around who was responsible for this
0:01:32 > 0:01:38most outrageous crime.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44The use of a nerve agent on UK soil is a brazen and reckless act.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48This was attempted murder in the most cruel and public way.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52People are right to want to know who to hold to account.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56But, if we are to be rigorous in this investigation,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58we must avoid speculation and allow the police to carry
0:01:58 > 0:02:08on their investigation.
0:02:08 > 0:02:18She said the investigation is involving...
0:02:18 > 0:02:21The investigation is moving at pace, and this Government will
0:02:21 > 0:02:22act without hesitation as the facts become clearer.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24As my Right Honourable
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Friend the Foreign Secretary made clear on Tuesday,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28we will respond in a robust and appropriate manner once
0:02:28 > 0:02:29we ascertain who was responsible.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34We on this side of the House are appalled that anyone could be
0:02:34 > 0:02:37poisoned on the streets of our towns and be share with the Government the
0:02:37 > 0:02:41determination that this case be brought to a speedy and just
0:02:41 > 0:02:44conclusion. And that similar incidents are prevented in the
0:02:44 > 0:02:51future.How do we affect human assets in this country, and build
0:02:51 > 0:02:55this type of scenario lead to a review of how we best protect these
0:02:55 > 0:03:01people across the United Kingdom? Considering his background, he was
0:03:01 > 0:03:07at high risk, does the Secretary of State know how the process was able
0:03:07 > 0:03:10to slip through the intelligence service and what sense is she taking
0:03:10 > 0:03:16to ensure that those who are at risk are properly protected?This is an
0:03:16 > 0:03:20investigation that's ongoing. It is going at pace and in circumstances
0:03:20 > 0:03:24where the police and the other services involved appreciate the
0:03:24 > 0:03:28urgency of this. It does not help their work, which must be our
0:03:28 > 0:03:32priority, the speculative at the moment, on what might happen the
0:03:32 > 0:03:39future, when we have an attribution in hand.I have written to ask for a
0:03:39 > 0:03:43review of 14 other cases and she will note that there are many ways
0:03:43 > 0:03:49that this will happen and precedents for doing so. Can I also ask her in
0:03:49 > 0:03:52terms of this immediate investigation, has she considered
0:03:52 > 0:03:58going to the UN Security Council to ask for a statement calling on all
0:03:58 > 0:04:02nations to provide assistance, including willingness to extradite
0:04:02 > 0:04:09suspects should that be needed?I think the right honourable Lady and
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I have got her letter and I will be responding. I would gently say that
0:04:12 > 0:04:24now is not the time to... Now is the time to focus on the investigation
0:04:24 > 0:04:28proceeding. She makes a suggestion involving international activity and
0:04:28 > 0:04:33I can't say that at some stage, we will be coming back to the House
0:04:33 > 0:04:37with our proposals, but for now, we are merely preparing and
0:04:37 > 0:04:40concentrating on the incident. Whether or not Russian agents are
0:04:40 > 0:04:44shown to be responsible for this incident, as in the time we got more
0:04:44 > 0:04:49realistic about Russia? Kenda Home Secretary confirm whether or not the
0:04:49 > 0:04:54memorandum of understanding between the UK and the Russian nuclear power
0:04:54 > 0:04:58company that was championed by the former Prime Minister Esther
0:04:58 > 0:05:07Cameron, has formally -- Mr Cameron. Can she make sure it has ended so
0:05:07 > 0:05:10that the previous love in with Russia we saw it years ago is
0:05:10 > 0:05:14completely finish.We should be cautious about attribute in guilt at
0:05:14 > 0:05:18this stage. Thus the Home Secretary share my anger about the cruel
0:05:18 > 0:05:22nature of this crime which could so easily have resulted in considerably
0:05:22 > 0:05:27more collateral damage. Moshe Escher me and my constituents that the full
0:05:27 > 0:05:35force of the law -- will she assure. Just because we want to approach
0:05:35 > 0:05:41this with a cool head in order to collect the evidence does not mean
0:05:41 > 0:05:45that we don't share the outrage that his constituents and he himself
0:05:45 > 0:05:48clearly feels about this. When we have the evidence, I will return to
0:05:48 > 0:05:50the House.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Amber Rudd.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Too many children and young people reach "crisis point"
0:05:55 > 0:05:58because services are not working effectively together,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00according to regulators.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03The Care Quality Commission has warned that national,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06regional and local action is needed to ensure services work to support
0:06:06 > 0:06:09young people's mental health needs.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13In December, the Government published a plan, or green paper,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15aimed at improving children and young people's access to mental
0:06:15 > 0:06:20health support in schools and colleges in England.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26The Government has committed to making available an addition £1.4
0:06:26 > 0:06:31billion to improve children suspect mental health services to deliver
0:06:31 > 0:06:39two commitments... Spend is reaching the front line, it's an issue I know
0:06:39 > 0:06:53the honourable Lady and members have concerns about. By 2020, ...In this
0:06:53 > 0:06:57report, we see evidence of services actively putting up barriers to
0:06:57 > 0:07:01treatment. Resulting in children and young people reaching crisis point
0:07:01 > 0:07:04before being able to get access to the right treatment. Children are
0:07:04 > 0:07:10suffering because of those high eligibility thresholds. We know that
0:07:10 > 0:07:1450% of mental health problems develop before the age of 14 and
0:07:14 > 0:07:18that 75% develop before the age of 18. Does the Minister recognise that
0:07:18 > 0:07:22imposing high eligibility thresholds means that children and young people
0:07:22 > 0:07:26are treated only when their condition becomes more serious?We
0:07:26 > 0:07:31are the first government to introduce waiting time standards,
0:07:31 > 0:07:37and have to make relevant... They are both either meeting are on track
0:07:37 > 0:07:40to meet their target at the moment. We will also be piloting the full
0:07:40 > 0:07:49week waiting time for specialist waiting times as outlined, we are
0:07:49 > 0:07:53considering the report that the responses to that.It is shocking
0:07:53 > 0:07:57that some children are receiving assistance after attempting suicide,
0:07:57 > 0:08:01I note that the national mental health director has stated that
0:08:01 > 0:08:06child and adolescent mental health services are now proving that from a
0:08:06 > 0:08:11stopping point, a historic underfunding and the legacy
0:08:11 > 0:08:15understaffing. This report is surely an example of the latest reports in
0:08:15 > 0:08:18recent years demonstrating the impact that this government's
0:08:18 > 0:08:26austerity driven agenda...In the next few weeks, workbook...
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Something that is long overdue and much anticipated, a clear sign that
0:08:29 > 0:08:32this government is investing in mental health and young people but
0:08:32 > 0:08:36we continue to have a problem with our CCJA in delivering front-line
0:08:36 > 0:08:48services even though the Government are providing -- our CCG.We know
0:08:48 > 0:08:53that the money has fallen short, well short of what was committed to-
0:08:53 > 0:08:57three years ago. Of the Minister absolutely commit to making sure the
0:08:57 > 0:08:59shortfall of money getting through to children's mental health
0:08:59 > 0:09:07services?Will the Minister listened more closely to the voice of
0:09:07 > 0:09:13parents? What parents want, if they think there something wrong with
0:09:13 > 0:09:19their child, whether it's mental health or autism, they want early
0:09:19 > 0:09:29diagnosis and treatment.That's why the report highlighted... I
0:09:29 > 0:09:31completely agree with him.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Steve Brine.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38The Prime Minister has said that after Brexit,
0:09:38 > 0:09:40the UK will be leaving
0:09:40 > 0:09:42the Common Fisheries Policy, the rules which give all European
0:09:42 > 0:09:44fishing fleets equal access to EU waters.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45But on Wednesday, there were two developments
0:09:46 > 0:09:50which worried the UK industry.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53First, the draft EU guidelines for trade talks with the UK stated
0:09:53 > 0:09:56that existing reciprocal access to fishing waters and resources
0:09:56 > 0:10:00should be maintained.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Then, the Chancellor Philip Hammond said the Government would be open
0:10:03 > 0:10:07to discussing appropriate arrangements for access for British
0:10:07 > 0:10:11fishermen to EU waters and for EU fishermen to British waters.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15With those factors in mind, several MPs had questions
0:10:15 > 0:10:19for the Environment Minister.
0:10:19 > 0:10:30Can the Minister give an absolute assurance...We have been clear that
0:10:30 > 0:10:34when we leave the European Union, we leave the common fisheries policy.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38That means that under international law, the UN convention of the law of
0:10:38 > 0:10:41the sea, we become an independent coastal state that we will manage
0:10:41 > 0:10:45the fisheries resources in our exclusive economic zone and manage
0:10:45 > 0:10:49access to our own waters.Does the Minister agree that leaving the
0:10:49 > 0:10:53European Union provides fishermen with a sea of opportunity and part
0:10:53 > 0:11:01of that will include protecting them...I wonder if we can get an
0:11:01 > 0:11:11answer with no Dodge, given all the tales...Mr Speaker, the Government
0:11:11 > 0:11:17is still seeking a trade deal in the future, but he should also be aware
0:11:17 > 0:11:22that other countries like Norway and Iceland have control of their
0:11:22 > 0:11:26waters, they grant access and the other that we will continue to be
0:11:26 > 0:11:30part of that negotiation.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33A Conservative MP wondered whether the UK would leave before
0:11:33 > 0:11:38the proposed transition period began next year.
0:11:38 > 0:11:46When not far -- one of our... Can the Minister confirm that we are
0:11:46 > 0:11:52leaving it in March up next year and that he won't trade away our newly
0:11:52 > 0:12:02we want sovereignty over fishing in the interest of a wider trade deal?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06To agree an approach on the management of shared stocks and we
0:12:06 > 0:12:10envisage that such meetings will continue. But I can confirm that the
0:12:10 > 0:12:13UK Government's view is that there is a trade discussion to take place
0:12:13 > 0:12:17and we want a free trade agreement and the fisheries discussion to take
0:12:17 > 0:12:23place, where we want to take control of our waters.The commission's
0:12:23 > 0:12:30position on the other that they state, existing reciprocal access
0:12:30 > 0:12:35should be maintained. They also suggest that any future deal should
0:12:35 > 0:12:40be... This position is cooked unacceptable for the fishing
0:12:40 > 0:12:46communities around the UK. Can my honourable friend confirm that this
0:12:46 > 0:12:51government...
0:12:52 > 0:12:57Yes, I simply say to my friend that this is an EU position. They current
0:12:57 > 0:13:04-- currently benefit from access to it UK. They currently access 100,000
0:13:04 > 0:13:10tonnes of fish in EU waters, and the EU Access 700000 tonnes of fish.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14They would say that, wouldn't they quiz map that is not a position UK
0:13:14 > 0:13:15shares.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16George Eustice.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18You're watching Thursday in Parliament, with me,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Alicia McCarthy.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Earlier this week, MPs voted to bring Northern Ireland in line
0:13:23 > 0:13:26with the rest of the UK by requiring political parties there
0:13:26 > 0:13:28to reveal who funds them.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32It means that all donations of more than £7,500 made after July last
0:13:33 > 0:13:36year will have to be made public.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40But the decision not to backdate the publication of donations means
0:13:40 > 0:13:42details of those made during the EU referendum campaign
0:13:42 > 0:13:46will not be listed.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49That includes a controversial donation of more than £400,000
0:13:49 > 0:13:53to the DUP from a group of pro-union business people called
0:13:53 > 0:13:56the Constitutional Research Council.
0:13:56 > 0:14:04That angered a Labour former Cabinet minister.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Following the disgraceful decision by the Government yesterday to keep
0:14:07 > 0:14:13secret the source of the 425 of hundred thousand pounds donation to
0:14:13 > 0:14:18the Leave campaign via the DUP, meeting the public have no idea
0:14:18 > 0:14:21where this money came from, what more can she be in the Electoral
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Commission do to ensure we have full transparency in our democratic
0:14:24 > 0:14:30system?The commission welcomes the existing order which will provide
0:14:30 > 0:14:35for the first time information about donations and loans received by
0:14:35 > 0:14:38parties in Northern Ireland. But the commission also builds as the
0:14:38 > 0:14:42transparency back to 2014 as Parliament envisaged and would
0:14:42 > 0:14:46support the third order to provide a full transparency back to 2014.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49There are more than 500,000 miles of underwater cables that carry much
0:14:49 > 0:14:50of the world's web traffic.
0:14:50 > 0:14:56At the end of last year, the head of the armed forces
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach, said the military had prioritised
0:14:59 > 0:15:01the protection of the UK's cables because of the threat
0:15:02 > 0:15:03posed by Russia.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05This was after warnings that any attack would be a "crippling
0:15:05 > 0:15:08blow" to the country's security and economy.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10A Labour Peer wondered if the government took
0:15:10 > 0:15:17the issue seriously enough.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Journalist walk into a farmhouse in Cornwell through an open door and
0:15:21 > 0:15:25photographed all the connections to one of the main submarine cables.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31And at last summer, a ship dropped its anchor on a cable between here
0:15:31 > 0:15:35and the mainland and cut the cable. And nobody has bothered to prosecute
0:15:35 > 0:15:44this. So could he explain whether the Government really is -- takes
0:15:44 > 0:15:48seriously the issue of a security on these cables and what is he going to
0:15:48 > 0:15:52do to ensure that these two instances that I have just mentioned
0:15:52 > 0:15:59will not happen again?The noble lord raises an important point. As
0:15:59 > 0:16:03far as the Sunday Times report is concerned, I can say the reporter
0:16:03 > 0:16:08was unable to access any secure section of the facility. The
0:16:08 > 0:16:12essential point about this is that there is resilience in the system.
0:16:12 > 0:16:20There are many cables coming into the 11 the landing sites for
0:16:20 > 0:16:25transatlantic cables in a different places. Because of the resilience of
0:16:25 > 0:16:28the system, when one particular cable is broken, the system
0:16:28 > 0:16:35continues. As far as prosecution is concerned, most of the breaks in the
0:16:35 > 0:16:40cables, and there are a considerable number each year, about 30-40 each
0:16:40 > 0:16:47year, as the result of accidents. And that is why it is not normally
0:16:47 > 0:16:50necessarily -- necessary to prosecute. But these are similar
0:16:50 > 0:16:54actions because the cables locking individual companies. It is under
0:16:54 > 0:17:02them to seek damages.We were very concerned about cables in the 1970s
0:17:02 > 0:17:07and we built the HMS Challenger grey cost because we were concerned.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Finally we got rid of her when the Cold War style. The Russians have
0:17:11 > 0:17:15now started investing very heavily in a nuclear submarines that can go
0:17:15 > 0:17:20deep into these attacks on these cables. At the end of the Cold War,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23we're the best anti-submarine warfare and undersea warfare to
0:17:23 > 0:17:27mobility in the world. That hasn't been eroded. What are we doing to
0:17:27 > 0:17:32have ships that will enable us and platforms that will enable us to go
0:17:32 > 0:17:38and check these lines, repair them and do the work?Is not just the
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Marines nowadays. Any so called a civilian vessel, which can have
0:17:42 > 0:17:50drones on them, can do it. The issue, the main defence is
0:17:50 > 0:17:53resilience, and a lot to different cables because there are just over
0:17:53 > 0:17:56half 1 million miles of cables to monitoring the world.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Lord Ashton.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Back in the Commons, MPs held a debate to mark
0:17:59 > 0:18:01International Women's Day and celebrate 100 years
0:18:01 > 0:18:03since some women got the vote.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06The Labour MP Jess Philips began by reciting the names of women
0:18:06 > 0:18:16killed by men in the last year.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22As always, the women are all ages and were killed in violent episodes
0:18:22 > 0:18:25at the hands of men. Violence against women and girls is an
0:18:25 > 0:18:29epidemic. If as many people died every week at a sporting event or
0:18:29 > 0:18:34because they had a particular job, there'll be a national outcry. These
0:18:34 > 0:18:39deserve the same. We must all do better to hear their stories and to
0:18:39 > 0:18:44end the culture of a male violence that killed them up.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Over the next nearly four minutes, she read out the names
0:18:47 > 0:18:49of all the women who had died from domestic violence
0:18:49 > 0:18:53in the UK since the last International Women's Day.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Our test should always be given we do everything we could to protect
0:18:58 > 0:19:04all women? There are too many women in this country, the answer to this
0:19:04 > 0:19:07is still simply know. We must do better.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Another Labour MP fought back tears as she called for an end to violence
0:19:11 > 0:19:21against women in conflict zones.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I was more in the country, Bangladesh, that was born out of
0:19:27 > 0:19:32compliment were millions lost their lives. Where rape and violence was
0:19:32 > 0:19:37used as a weapon of war. And that continues in many other countries
0:19:37 > 0:19:43today. We must all continue to work hard to make sure that we bring an
0:19:43 > 0:19:46end to sexual violence in the conflicts.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50An SNP MP argued sexism was deeply embedded in our culture.
0:19:51 > 0:19:59We see it in this House, a juvenile, grinning idiocy that is so offensive
0:19:59 > 0:20:02that sometimes, the smugness of a minority of men who think that
0:20:02 > 0:20:07supposedly clever point scoring Peru's something. And
0:20:07 > 0:20:11anti-intellectual nonsense that makes this continuing debate so
0:20:11 > 0:20:17tiring. There are men in this House who have a record of opposing
0:20:17 > 0:20:21progressive politics without substantiated argument but with
0:20:21 > 0:20:24plenty of bluster and filibuster, imposing a quality as a playground
0:20:24 > 0:20:32joke. I, and I am sure others, are tired of engaging with men who have
0:20:32 > 0:20:36it so very little to offer, and I am pleased that they represent a very
0:20:36 > 0:20:39tiny percentage of the men I encounter.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44Other MPs spoke of encouraging more women into politics and Westminster.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49We must put forward a very positive view of the women's role in this
0:20:49 > 0:20:54House because the most important thing is to encourage young women to
0:20:54 > 0:20:58look at this as a potential career and if they are always complaining
0:20:58 > 0:21:01and pointing out downsides of the jar, that is not going to be very
0:21:01 > 0:21:08encouraging.The best thing we are doing at the moment is having a
0:21:08 > 0:21:13female Prime Minister. Because certainly for me, it was when I saw
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Margaret Thatcher become Prime Minister and leader of the party,
0:21:16 > 0:21:20that made politics relevant for me. It turned to politics from being
0:21:20 > 0:21:26frankly a lot of old men in grey raincoats into something which was a
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Technicolor, relevant issue for me to be involved in as a 14-year-old
0:21:30 > 0:21:37girl living in South Wales, where there were not too Tories around.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43And I could see an amazing role model on the television.It is
0:21:43 > 0:21:47important that we in his house take responsibility for inspiring our
0:21:47 > 0:21:52women and daughters. But I think we should also remember that many of
0:21:52 > 0:21:55inspiration to our mothers and grandmothers, and Parliament in our
0:21:55 > 0:22:00lives. My own grandmother did not have the right to vote when she was
0:22:00 > 0:22:02bored. I wear her wedding ring to this chamber every day up and
0:22:02 > 0:22:08occasionally it serves as a reminder to generations paid fast -- of past.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Christine Jardine.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12The tech firms YouTube and Google could be called in front of MPs
0:22:12 > 0:22:14after claims they've failed to honour a pledge to take
0:22:15 > 0:22:16down extremist videos.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18The companies told the Home Affairs Committee in December that they'd
0:22:18 > 0:22:21remove content from illegal far-right group National Action.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24But the chair of the committee, raising a point of order
0:22:24 > 0:22:27in the Commons, told MPs the videos were still widely
0:22:27 > 0:22:36available this week.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Can you advise on the course of action when a private company gives
0:22:40 > 0:22:44commitments and assurances to select committees on issues that affect
0:22:44 > 0:22:48national security and public safety and then fails to meet them? Mr
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Speaker, there is widely available on YouTube this week, the band in
0:22:53 > 0:22:58illegal propaganda videos from the extremist prescribed organisation
0:22:58 > 0:23:02national action that, despite the fact that this video has been raised
0:23:02 > 0:23:06with YouTube and Google seven times by a select committee over the last
0:23:06 > 0:23:1012 months. Despite the fact that they have promised us that that
0:23:10 > 0:23:14video is illegal and will be taken down and they had the technology to
0:23:14 > 0:23:18prevent that being put back up. Have you had any indication the
0:23:18 > 0:23:23Government will look into this? And do you share my immense concern that
0:23:23 > 0:23:27this was one of the richest companies in the world and is
0:23:27 > 0:23:30failing to meet its basic responsibility to tackle extremism
0:23:30 > 0:23:36and protect public safety in this country?Grateful for your point of
0:23:36 > 0:23:47order and I share her intense concern on the matter. National
0:23:47 > 0:23:52Action is a despicable fascist neo-Nazi organisation. And my
0:23:52 > 0:23:59understanding is that it has been prescribed, by the Home Secretary.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04If they are having commitments may, they must be honoured. It is open to
0:24:04 > 0:24:09committee but it should not be necessary for the committee to
0:24:09 > 0:24:14demand as a matter of urgency the appearance of representatives of one
0:24:14 > 0:24:21or more of those companies before it to explain itself.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23The Home Secretary, who was still in the chamber
0:24:23 > 0:24:27following her earlier statement on Sergei Skripal stepped in.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33They are right to raise this issue. National Action, as you rightly say,
0:24:33 > 0:24:37is a prescribed group, I prescribed it myself. It is a terrorist
0:24:37 > 0:24:40organisation. The fact is that Internet companies have made good
0:24:40 > 0:24:46progress in taking down the Aiesh focused material. Now we hadn't --
0:24:46 > 0:24:50demonstrated they can take that with our own system 94% of material that
0:24:50 > 0:25:00goes up from Daesh type organisation. But we must see more
0:25:00 > 0:25:04focused in areas of extreme right-wing groups like my right
0:25:04 > 0:25:08honourable lady hasn't raced. I hope the lady and I can work together to
0:25:08 > 0:25:10make sure that we hold the more to account.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Amber Rudd.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14And that's it from me for now, but do join me on BBC Parliament
0:25:14 > 0:25:17on Friday night at 11pm for a round up of the week
0:25:17 > 0:25:19here at Westminster, when, among other things,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22I'll be finding out why not all petitions to MPs get debated
0:25:22 > 0:25:28and whether they have any impact when they do.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30But for now from me, Alicia McCarthy, goodbye.
