Hello and welcome to the programme. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
Coming up: | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
Conservative MPs demand ministers
stand up to the EU on the vexed | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
question of fishing after Brexit. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:31 | |
The Armada of trawlers who have been
hit plundering Britain cosmic | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
historic oozing ground are not going
to be happy that their best years | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
are behind them. -- Britain's
historic fishing grounds. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:48 | |
The doors to flats in
Grenfell Tower are found to have | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
failed a police fire test. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
When tested by the Metropolitan
Police, the door failed after 15 | 0:00:52 | 0:00:57 | |
minutes. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:02 | |
And a former cabinet minister
questions if a fellow peer is right | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
to play host to the founder
of a far-right group. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
At a time when there is an increased
risk of relation to hate crimes. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
Of the many questions
surrounding Brexit, one | 0:01:11 | 0:01:12 | |
of the main ones concerns fish. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:17 | |
Conservative MPs have been pressing
the government not to agree | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
to the EU's demand that the bloc | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
should still have the right to fish
in UK waters after Brexit, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
in return for tariff-free access
to the European market | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
for British goods and services. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:29 | |
In its latest version
of the Brexit agreement, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
released on Thursday,
the EU has added in "opportunities" | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
for the UK to "comment"
on fishing quotas. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
One Conservative believed people
would unite against the idea | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
of continued access to UK waters: | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
Well, while fish largely | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
Remainers and believers are united
at the very worst aspect of our EU | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
membership is the common fisheries
policy and when we leave the | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
European Union, we leave the common
fisheries policy will stop on that | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
day, the Armada of EU trawlers that
have been plundering Britain's | 0:01:57 | 0:02:03 | |
historic fishing grounds since 1973
are not going to be happy that their | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
best years are behind them. Can we
ensure that the Royal Navy has the | 0:02:06 | 0:02:12 | |
resources it needs to protect our
sovereign waters and ensure the | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
rebirth and the renaissance of the
British fishing industry. It was | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
disappointing to see an aggressive
line in that document about | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
maintaining access to fishing
waters. I want the department is | 0:02:23 | 0:02:28 | |
robust on the behalf of my
Northumbrian fishermen to ensure we | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
regain control of our fishing waters
afford the sighting who else | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
condition them. It was a very odd
linkage to make as well. The simple | 0:02:36 | 0:02:42 | |
truth is that when we leave the
European Union, we will be an | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
independent coastal state. As a
result, we will control our own | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
waters. There will of course be
continuing negotiations between | 0:02:49 | 0:02:58 | |
neighbouring states because this
move about cats and quotas and the | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
rest of it. When we leave the
European Union will my friend | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
confirm that he will not give free
and unfettered access as is demanded | 0:03:05 | 0:03:12 | |
currently by the European Union? As
the Secretary of State and I have | 0:03:12 | 0:03:20 | |
but said, we will be leaving common
fisheries policy and take control of | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
our waters. I would just say to him
that my experience of fishermen is | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
that they do wish to have access to
European markets and I think we need | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
to approach the fisheries
negotiation in the same constructive | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
spirit as other parts of our
negotiation but yes, we will be | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
taking control of our waters. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:43 | |
While fish largely ignore
national borders, that's not | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
always the case with MPs
- especially when that border | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
is the one between Northern Ireland
and the Republic. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
The Government's committed
to avoiding what's known as a | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
"hard border" after Brexit. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
But some MPs questioned
whether that's really plausible. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
Given that the Government have said
that the border will remain | 0:03:56 | 0:04:02 | |
frictionless and that there will be
no border in the Irish Sea, the | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
question many of us continue to ask
is, how can this happen? Well, | 0:04:05 | 0:04:13 | |
government has made clear its
unwavering commitment to three | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
guiding principles in relation to
Northern Ireland and Republic. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
First, there should be no hard
border, North and South. Belfast | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
agreement must be honoured and
thirdly that the Constitution and | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
economic integrity of the United
Kingdom remains unimpaired and the | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
Prime Minister has set out most
recently in her speech how that | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
might be achieved. And also,
building on the options set out in | 0:04:35 | 0:04:41 | |
the August position papers which
sets out practical options how we | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
might take this forward. This is
much more than just the movement of | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
goods or services. It is about the
cultural issue. It is about the | 0:04:48 | 0:04:54 | |
movement of people. It is about all
of that any symbolism of is enormous | 0:04:54 | 0:05:00 | |
and the Minister needs to ensure
that that is recognised time after | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
time in all of the talks that she
has to reassure the people of both | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
parts of Ireland. I don't think that
Ministers quite appreciate the level | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
of concern that there is across the
House on this issue. Whenever I | 0:05:12 | 0:05:18 | |
visited the Irish border, I've come
face-to-face with the reality of | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
what the installation of any cameras
or any infrastructure would mean him | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
and it would not last a day,
Minister. It would not last a day. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:33 | |
Why won't the Secretary of State
even visit the borders so that he | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
can appreciate why people are so
concerned? The Secretary of State | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
has also been to the border prior to
his appointment to this position and | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
is very much apprised of the
sensitivity and importance of the | 0:05:43 | 0:05:49 | |
squiggle issue. Mr Speaker, I think
that says all we need to hear. How? | 0:05:49 | 0:05:58 | |
How, that is what we want to know,
how can we ensure an open border | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
without a customs union? | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
The minister said there were many
proposals on the table that would be | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
viable and workable. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:12 | |
The Government has reported a new
and worrying development into the | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
investigation of the fire at
Grenfell Tower. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
It's nine months since
the blaze claimed 71 lives. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
The cladding and insulation
on the outside of the building have | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
already failed all preliminary
tests by the police. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
Now investigators have found that
a flat door from the building | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
could only hold back a fire for half
the time it was supposed to. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
Initial inspections indicated the
door is believed to have been | 0:06:34 | 0:06:39 | |
designed to resist fire for up to 30
minutes. But when tested by the | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
Metropolitan Police, failed after
approximately 15 minutes. The | 0:06:44 | 0:06:50 | |
Metropolitan Police considered that
this test result might have wider | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
implications for public safety and
alerted my department. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:59 | |
Sajid Javid had sought the advice
of an independent expert panel. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:04 | |
The expert panel has advised that
the risk to the public safety remain | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
low. There is no change to the fire
safety advice of the public should | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
follow. I, nevertheless, fully
appreciate that this news will be | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
troubling for many people, not
least, all those affected by the | 0:07:15 | 0:07:20 | |
Grenville tragedy. -- Grenfell Tower
tragedy. That is why we have begun | 0:07:20 | 0:07:27 | |
the process of conducting further
tests and will continue to consult | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
with the expert panel to identify
the implications of these further | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
test. I have made it clear that the
necessary tests and assessments must | 0:07:33 | 0:07:38 | |
he carried a thoroughly, but at
pace. There is no evidence that this | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
is a systemic issue. If this isn't
systemic, what assessment has been | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
made of how many buildings are
potentially affected by this? How | 0:07:46 | 0:07:52 | |
many individual flats? How many
people who have fire doors that | 0:07:52 | 0:07:58 | |
simply don't do the job. What steps
is he taking to ascertain those | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
numbers if he doesn't already know
that and I suspect it is too early | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
to know that, but what steps are
being taken to make that kind of | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
dissemination? Because that's the
point at which the words that this | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
is not systemic begins to ring a
little incredible. It may be a | 0:08:13 | 0:08:20 | |
systemic problem and we've got to
begin to recognise if this is | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
widescale that we have just that
systemic problem. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
The minister repeated
that the government | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
was being led by the experts. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
And there advice so far and that is
exactly why I said in my statement | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
earlier that there is no evidence of
a systemic problem. That is their | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
advice so far and B are correctly
taking advice whilst we continue | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
with further tests at pace. -- we
are. The expert panel's | 0:08:44 | 0:08:51 | |
recommendation that no change in
safety device will come as a | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
surprise to many people, so will the
Government insist that Dame Judith | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
Hackett's review into the fire
regulations assessment will make | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
sure that every high-rise building's
assessment will be published and | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
made available in an accessible form
for the public so they can perhaps | 0:09:07 | 0:09:14 | |
the reassurance from that that I
fear they won't have got from this | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
report. As a west London near
neighbour, residents in the London | 0:09:17 | 0:09:22 | |
Borough of Ealing Tansey grand mal
-- can see Grenfell. My constituent | 0:09:22 | 0:09:33 | |
was at the silent march last night
and he said that there was massive | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
numbers and the sense of injustice
was overwhelming. The Minister has | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
repeatedly said that public safety
is paramount. What is he doing to | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
instill public confidence into the
inquiry and the actor Matt? I don't | 0:09:42 | 0:09:47 | |
take it was ever there. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
Grenfell Tower is in
the constituency of Emma Dent Coad. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
She'd been speaking to an architect
who'd worked on the Estate. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
In those days, the 1970s, fire doors
were supposed to lasts for one hour. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:02 | |
We're down to 30 minutes. Can we
please consider whether or not | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
buildings of that size am a half an
hour is enough? She asked me about | 0:10:04 | 0:10:12 | |
the fire doors and whether one hour
is correct versus half-an-hour. This | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
is exactly one of the reasons why
I've set up the independent building | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
regulation and fire safety work
being done by Dame Judith Hackett. I | 0:10:19 | 0:10:24 | |
know this is an issue she will be
looking at. Sajid Javid. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |
You're watching Thursday
in Parliament with me, Mandy Baker. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:36 | |
The Chair of the Commons health
committee has dismissed as "dismal" | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
the explanation from NHS
digital about why it | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
shares some patient data. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
Last year the service agreed
with the home office that doctors | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
could give details including
addresses to immigration officials. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
But such sharing has raised fears
that some migrants will be put off | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
getting medical help. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:58 | |
The chair of the health committee
began by reminding NHS | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
digital of its remit. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
You say, we are the guardians of
patient data and say it is only ever | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
used for the good of health and
care. I'm afraid this is not the | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
approach that you're taking and I
just wonder, do you recognise the | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
potential damage that this is doing
at a time when we want the public to | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
trust NHS Digital to be making
ethical decisions about sharing data | 0:11:18 | 0:11:24 | |
for research purposes? Is a really
crucial thing that we need to get | 0:11:24 | 0:11:30 | |
the public on board with so that
they understand why it is in | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
everyone's best interest to do that.
Still, this matter has taken an | 0:11:33 | 0:11:43 | |
entirely versus driven approach to a
serious ethical issue. We have taken | 0:11:43 | 0:11:50 | |
a law driven approach. Not an
ethical driven approach. It was | 0:11:50 | 0:11:55 | |
consulted on very widely with a
large committee. So, a case of | 0:11:55 | 0:12:04 | |
filling inboxes. We are very, very,
very careful with how we handled | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
clinical data. I absolutely accept
you have, you know, a concern about | 0:12:08 | 0:12:16 | |
where the address data is in terms
of the confidentiality treatment of | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
it. We have looked to the law, we
have looked to case law and sought | 0:12:19 | 0:12:25 | |
to follow that came fully. --
carefully. It is not there for an | 0:12:25 | 0:12:35 | |
individual to not expect that
information to be shared? Is that | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
not reasonable? The Minister Pato
position is that there's not | 0:12:37 | 0:12:44 | |
reasonable expectation. From our
perspective, we have given notice | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
that we may share this data with the
Home Office, address data for | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
immigration enforcement tracing
purposes, so we have sought to be | 0:12:52 | 0:12:57 | |
completely transparent about the
potential use of the data. Do you | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
personally think that is right if
that is going to reduce people's | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
willingness to access health care?
You personally think that is right? | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
We don't have empirical evidence
that says this will impact people's | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
use of the system. The information
procured by the Home Office resulted | 0:13:12 | 0:13:24 | |
in a deportation notice was sent to
AGP to pass on to a highly | 0:13:24 | 0:13:30 | |
vulnerable patient. Do you think
that is acceptable? We have nothing | 0:13:30 | 0:13:35 | |
to do with how the Home Office
handle this. But as a consequence of | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
you release snye data, you have to
take summer spots ability for what | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
then happens with that. I know
nothing about the case that you're | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
talking about. I am telling you what
happened and you think on that basis | 0:13:47 | 0:13:52 | |
it was appropriate? I don't know
enough contextually about that case, | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
the way immigration enforcement
work, to be able to make a comment | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
on it. That's just dismal. I just
think that you have been told very | 0:14:01 | 0:14:09 | |
clearly that there is a risk. Why we
do not apply a precautionary | 0:14:09 | 0:14:16 | |
principle on this and at least
suspends data sharing until they | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
have completed their review? | 0:14:20 | 0:14:21 | |
But Sarah Wilkinson insisted, | 0:14:21 | 0:14:22 | |
they hadn't been told clearly
that this data sharing had an impact | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
on people seeking health care. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
And MPs were keeping up the pressure
on ministers to invest | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
in mental health services. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
In a debate in Westminister Hall,
a former health minister, | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
said better services
would benefit both | 0:14:35 | 0:14:36 | |
the individual and the Treasury. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:42 | |
What we know from the analysis
that's been done is that for every | 0:14:42 | 0:14:47 | |
£1 to invest in early intervention
and psychosis, to get the return of | 0:14:47 | 0:14:54 | |
£15 over subsequent years. Where the
complications is that the return on | 0:14:54 | 0:14:59 | |
that investment is not concentrated
just the NHS. It's getting people | 0:14:59 | 0:15:05 | |
off benefits and into work. It's
bringing in tax revenue, it's | 0:15:05 | 0:15:11 | |
reducing the number of people who
end up going through the criminal | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
justice system. As well as reduction
in the use of the NHS. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:19 | |
Norman Lamb also said leaving
people for months before | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
they could get treatment
amounted to discrimination. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
Why should someone who experiences
psychosis be treated in any inferior | 0:15:27 | 0:15:33 | |
way to someone who suffers from
cancer or any other physical | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
condition? | 0:15:36 | 0:15:36 | |
Labour's Paul Williams is a GP. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
He said people who got rapid
treatment had "half a chance" | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
of getting their lives
back on track. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
You can just imagine if there were a
pathway through, it improves | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
survival and recovery, we would know
all about it and fight for it. In | 0:15:48 | 0:15:56 | |
the past, diagnosis of psychosis
would be a life sentence. But early | 0:15:56 | 0:16:02 | |
intervention and treatment now can
lead to a recovery, people can get | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
their lives back on track. This is
not the dark old days where if you | 0:16:06 | 0:16:13 | |
had a mental illness, that was it.
We know that people can recover and | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
people should recover, but getting
early treatment is absolutely | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
crucial to that. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
The Health Minister agreed that
improving access to treatment must | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
be a "top priority" and said that
ministers had a plan. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:30 | |
It remains the Government's priority
that we do deliver a change in how | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
we provide services to people with
poor mental health, and that is a | 0:16:35 | 0:16:42 | |
cultural change, it will take time.
We will make the investment in the | 0:16:42 | 0:16:48 | |
additional static resources to
deliver that change. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
The Health Minister. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
Peers have been debating how
to tackle hate speech online, | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
but the subject of hate speech
within the Lords also came up. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
The Bishop of Gloucester | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
began by considering how
vulnerable, children | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
were to extreme content. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
Websites have not benefits but this
is fraud costs. I'm concerned about | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
the hate speech that young people
are exposed to online, including | 0:17:13 | 0:17:19 | |
through anonymous apps. What is the
Government doing to ensure that the | 0:17:19 | 0:17:25 | |
age verification checks on apps are
actually effective stop the | 0:17:25 | 0:17:30 | |
Government is working extensively
with platforms on things such as age | 0:17:30 | 0:17:35 | |
verification, but also on things
such as bullying and trolling | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
online. Some of the things that
young people are exposed to second | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
blight their lives. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:43 | |
But then the questioning
moved closer to home. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
It concerned Tommy Robinson,
the founder of the far-right group, | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
the English Defence League. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
Does my noble friend agreed that all
members of this House should be | 0:17:53 | 0:17:58 | |
working to eradicate all forms of
hate speech and I know the noble | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
lord Lord Pearson is desperate to
get into this question, or if he | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
does get the opportunity to do so,
he could explain whether he thinks | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
is appropriate for members of this
House to be hosting the likes of | 0:18:09 | 0:18:14 | |
Tommy Robinson within the precincts
of this House at a time when there | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
is an increased risk in relation to
hate crime, and members of the other | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
house have been receiving hate
letters. I couldn't agree more that | 0:18:22 | 0:18:28 | |
this isn't just a governmental
thing, is not a societal, but as | 0:18:28 | 0:18:33 | |
legislators for this country, we
have got a strong leadership role to | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
take. It does this make me when I
see that certain quite extreme | 0:18:36 | 0:18:44 | |
people are actually being invited
into the Palace of Westminster to | 0:18:44 | 0:18:49 | |
propagate some of their hate. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
The UKIP peer didn't
mention Tommy Robinson | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
when he asked a question later. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
A former Labour cabinet minister
said hate speech wouldn't be tackled | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
by technical control of platforms
alone, education was key. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:07 | |
In the chequered history of this
country, then there was a glorious | 0:19:07 | 0:19:15 | |
hours and sacrifices were made, in
order to defeat an ideology where at | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
its core, had racial hatred,
homophobic hatred, and political | 0:19:18 | 0:19:25 | |
hatred as well. And that you
abandoned the history of this | 0:19:25 | 0:19:31 | |
country and its greatest hours by
indulging in any of them and our | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
young people should know that. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
The Minister agreed and stressed
the need to respect the right | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
to free speech without forgetting
how many lives had been | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
lost fighting hatred. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
UN investigators have said it's
likely that crimes under | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
international law had been committed
against Rohingya Muslims | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
in the Burmese state of Rakine. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
Hundreds of thousands
of people have fled | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
the violence and are now sheltering
in refugee camps in | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
neighbouring Bangladesh. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
They now face new dangers
of landslides and flooding | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
during the monsoon season. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
When a Foreign Office minister
updated MPs on the situation he said | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
the Burmese autorities has refused
to allow the UN fact finding | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
mission into the country. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:18 | |
Despite this, after interviewing
Rohingya refugees, the report | 0:20:18 | 0:20:25 | |
revealed evidence of widespread and
systematic rape and murder of her | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
Hindi people and the distraction of
their homes and villages, primarily | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
by the Burmese military. -- of
Rohingya people. Since August 2017, | 0:20:32 | 0:20:45 | |
nearly 680,000 refugees have sought
shelter. The UN special reporter for | 0:20:45 | 0:20:54 | |
human rights in Burma recently
stated the conflict had all the | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
hallmarks of genocide. However, I
must tell the House that the only | 0:20:58 | 0:21:03 | |
path to prosecution for genocide
were crimes against humanity is by | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
the international criminal Court. It
is a legal process. Burma is not a | 0:21:07 | 0:21:12 | |
party to their own statute and must
either therefore revert itself to | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
the court or be referred by the UN
Security Council. Neither | 0:21:16 | 0:21:22 | |
eventuality is likely, I fear, in
the short term. You will understand | 0:21:22 | 0:21:27 | |
the long-standing view on the side
of the House that is time to go | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
further and be more public and using
the UK's formal role as pen holder | 0:21:30 | 0:21:37 | |
on Myanmar and the United Nations
Security Council. The table | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
resolutions on these vital issues.
First, to table a resolution setting | 0:21:40 | 0:21:46 | |
down the terms under which the
repair attrition process should | 0:21:46 | 0:21:51 | |
proceed and the future rights and
protections that must be accorded to | 0:21:51 | 0:21:56 | |
the Rohingya refugees and obliging
the Myanmar authority to accede to | 0:21:56 | 0:22:02 | |
these terms. Secondly, at the
appropriate time, to table a | 0:22:02 | 0:22:07 | |
resolution referring Myanmar to the
international criminal Court. So | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
that the generals who this week
scandalously dismissed the UN's | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
claims of ethnic cleansing and
genocide and said instead that the | 0:22:16 | 0:22:21 | |
Rohingya had burned down their own
houses so that they can be brought | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
to account. We will... There was
taken place in Burma a human rights | 0:22:24 | 0:22:34 | |
violation of the most serious kind.
Amounting to crimes under | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
international law and we've heard
earlier,... As a speaker today, my | 0:22:38 | 0:22:49 | |
own... Which was given to Aung San
Suu Kyi for... The Minister has | 0:22:49 | 0:23:01 | |
reminded the House today that they
UN special reporter for human rights | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
in Burma has described this conflict
as having the hallmarks of genocide. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:11 | |
It is therefore absolutely
imperative that everything is done | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
to bring the various actors to
justice at the conclusion of it. The | 0:23:14 | 0:23:19 | |
Minister is quite right to remind us
about the challenges that we face in | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
reaching that end but there is an
immediate issue here, the most | 0:23:22 | 0:23:29 | |
compelling evidence that will inform
any prosecution in the future is to | 0:23:29 | 0:23:33 | |
be found now. Can't the Minister
tell me what the Government is doing | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
to ensure that every piece of
evidence that is available for | 0:23:37 | 0:23:44 | |
future use is being sought and
acquired at the moment? | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
The minister said the British
government was doing | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
its best to make sure
all the evidence was collected. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:52 | |
There have claims that the creative
industries will lose "vital | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
protection" after the UK
leaves the EU. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
A Liberal Democrat was worried
about Brexit's impact on fashion | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
and design-based industries. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:05 | |
The heart exit from the EU means the
loss of EU unregistered community | 0:24:05 | 0:24:10 | |
design rights and vital protection
for designers who first disclosed | 0:24:10 | 0:24:15 | |
their designs in the UK. This is
just the way to lose London Fashion | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
Week. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:19 | |
The business minister said
new schemes would be | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
established to protect rights. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
We will bring forward... To further
our rights here, there are the | 0:24:23 | 0:24:31 | |
negotiations that will take place in
the EU, with the EU as part of the | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
leaving process, which we hope will
feel though such will deal with | 0:24:36 | 0:24:43 | |
these matters. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:44 | |
But that didn't convince
one Labour peer. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
The amount of GDP that Fashion Week
race of this country is enormous, we | 0:24:46 | 0:24:52 | |
really needed to continue. Can you
ensure that this industry is welcome | 0:24:52 | 0:24:57 | |
here and will make sure that this
will happen quickly otherwise they | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
will look to go to Paris and Milan,
because they are asking them and | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
baiting them to come. I think the
noble lady is taking a rather | 0:25:05 | 0:25:10 | |
pessimistic view of things, but we
are aware of those risks. When one | 0:25:10 | 0:25:16 | |
thinks of the strengths of the
industry in this country, I think | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
it's unlikely it's going to leave
overnight. But we will be in | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
discussion with people such as the
fashion Council, listen to their | 0:25:23 | 0:25:30 | |
particular concerns and we will
continue with our negotiations as | 0:25:30 | 0:25:35 | |
part of the process. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:36 | |
And that's it. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:38 | |
Join me at the same time
tomorrow for a look back | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
at the whole Week in Parliament,
but for now from me, | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
Mandy Baker, goodbye. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:44 |
