  • The Impact of Exiting the European Union on Higher Education, HC 683
    Education Committee Oral evidence: The impact of exiting the European Union on higher education, HC 683 Wednesday 11 January 2017, Oxford Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 11 January 2017. Watch the meeting Members present: Neil Carmichael (Chair); Marion Fellows; Lilian Greenwood; Catherine McKinnell; Ian Mearns. Questions 1-70 Witnesses I: Professor Catherine Barnard, Professor of EU Law, University of Cambridge, Professor Alastair Buchan, Head of Brexit Strategy, University of Oxford, Professor Alistair Fitt, Vice-Chancellor, Oxford Brookes University, and Professor John Latham, Vice-Chancellor, Coventry University and Chair, University Alliance. II: Dr Anne Corbett, Associate, LSE Enterprise, Professor Stephanie Haywood, President, Engineering Professors’ Council, Dr Georg Krawietz, London Director, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), Professor Lyndal Roper, Regius Professor of History, University of Oxford, and Professor Margret Wintermantel, President, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Written evidence from witnesses: – University of Cambridge – Coventry University – Engineering Professors’ Council – Dr Anne Corbett and Dr Claire Gordon – Professor Lyndal Roper Examination of Witnesses Professor Catherine Barnard, Professor Alastair Buchan, Professor Alistair Fitt and Professor John Latham. Q1 Chair: Good morning and welcome to our session on the implications of Brexit for the university sector. This is our second such event. The first was at London South Bank where we had a more informal process. It is because this is a much more formal process that I am going to make two points. One is that broadcasting is just for the broadcaster, so no videos and no recordings except by the official broadcasters. The second is that only the MPs and the witnesses are allowed to say anything.

Written evidence from witnesses: – [Add names of witnesses and hyperlink to submissions] Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Rt Hon Theresa May, Prime Minister. Chair: Good afternoon, and thank you for coming. For those following from outside the room, we will cover Brexit to start with for the first hour, and then we will move on to the subjects of air quality, defence expenditure, the restoration and renewal programme here and, if we have time, health and social care. We will start the session with Hilary Benn, the Exiting the European Union Committee Chair. Q1 Hilary Benn: Good afternoon, Prime Minister. Given the events of the last two weeks, wouldn’t it strengthen your hand in the negotiations if you put the White Paper to a vote in the House of Commons? The Prime Minister: What is important is that we have set out the Government’s position and got through particularly important legislation in the House of Commons. Getting the European Union (Withdrawal) Act on the statute book was a very important step in the process of withdrawing from the European Union. We have published the White Paper, and we have begun discussing it at the EU level.

  • Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury 1 Horse Guards Road London, SW1A 2HQ
    Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury 1 Horse Guards Road London, SW1A 2HQ 29th August 2019 Dear Sajid, We are writing to you as MPs with school sixth forms, sixth form colleges and FE colleges in our constituencies to ask that you prioritise investment in 16 to 18 education in the forthcoming spending round. The Institute for Fiscal Studies reports that education funding for 16 to 18 year olds “has seen the biggest squeeze of all stages of education for young people in recent years”. This is having a serious impact on students. A recent survey of schools and colleges for the Raise the Rate campaign found that: • 78% have reduced student support services or extra-curricular activities as a result of funding pressures – with significant cuts to mental health support, employability skills and careers advice • 51% of schools and colleges have dropped courses in modern foreign languages, with A levels in German, French and Spanish the main casualties • 38% have dropped STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) courses The underinvestment in sixth form education is bad for students, bad for social mobility and bad for the economy. A central aim of the Industrial Strategy is to help young people to develop the skills they need to do the high-paid, high-skilled jobs of the future. The post-Brexit economy will be driven by leaders, scientists, technicians, engineers and others that will all pass through the pivotal phase of 16 to 18 education, so we must ensure that it is properly funded. We urge you to use the spending review to implement the first recommendation in A ten-year plan for school and college funding - the report published by the Education Committee in July - which is to “urgently address underfunding in further education by increasing the base rate from £4,000 to at least £4,760, rising in line with inflation.” This is the only way to ensure that schools and colleges can increase student services to minimum required levels, protect minority subjects and reverse the decline in extra-curricular activities and work experience.

  • Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for the Home Department By
    HOUSE OF COMMONS Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for the Home Department By email April 2019 Dear Home Secretary We write as members representing our Muslim constituents to urge the early release of the very welcome additional funding you have announced for security at places of worship. You will recall the matter was raised in Home Office questions on Monday 1 April. Following the appalling attack in Christchurch last month, we have been speaking to our local mosques, and they are understandably extremely concerned about security, particularly with the approach of the Holy Month of Ramadan, when the community will be highly visible. Many of our constituents will be attending late- night prayers during this month, and feel especially vulnerable when out late in the evening. While the new funding will make a difference, it is therefore imperative that it is released as a matter of urgency, and that application processes are kept as simple and clear as possible, in order that measures can be taken to improve security in good time before Ramadan. We would very much appreciate an early opportunity to meet you to discuss how this could best be facilitated, and look forward to hearing from you in the very near future. Yours sincerely Kate Green MP Rt Hon Anna Soubry MP, Chair, APPG on British Muslims Wes Streeting MP, Co-chair, APPG on British Muslims Naz Shah MP, Vice-chair, APPG on British Muslims Debbie Abrahams MP Rt Hon Dame Margaret Hodge MP Rushanara Ali MP Kate Hollern MP Dr Rosena Allin-Khan MP Eddie Hughes MP Jonathan Ashworth MP Dr Rupa Huq MP Ian Austin MP Imran Hussain MP Rt.

  • Parliamentary Debate on the British Sikh Community
    355 Parliament Debate on Sikhs Parliamentary Debate on the British Sikh Community _______________________________________________________________ In an earlier issue of this Journal (Vol. 7, No 2, Fall, 2000) we reported on the first parliamentary debate on the Punjabi community in Britain. We now reproduce the first Parliament debate on the Sikh Community which took place on Wednesday 13th March 2013 in Westminster Hall with Albert Owen in the Chair. The full debate is reproduced below. These debates are important as they not only provide the context, they also tell us about the nature of interactions between MPs and their Sikh constituents, their knowledge and perceptions about them. Furthermore, they provide important insights on the electoral pulse of the time as elections were nearing, on the nature of lobbying by Sikhs groups and discourses within Sikh community. [We fully acknowledge the copyright of this debate rests with Hansard. We are thankful to them for allowing its reproduction. Eds]. ________________________________________________________________ 9.30 am Gareth Johnson (Dartford) (Con): It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Owen, I think for the first time. I pay tribute to the inspiration behind the debate, which was that of the hon. Member for Leeds North East (Fabian Hamilton) who runs the all-party group for British Sikhs, and to the excellent work of that group in Parliament and the way in which it has helped to recognise the contribution of the Sikh community to our country. I also pay tribute to the work of my hon. Friend the Member for Wolverhampton South West (Paul Uppal) and the hon.

  • UK Parliamentary Select Committees 2020 a Cicero/AMO Analysis Cicero/AMO / March 2020
    / UK Parliamentary Select Committees 2020 A Cicero/AMO Analysis Cicero/AMO / March 2020 / Cicero/AMO / 1 / / Contents Foreword 3 Treasury Select Committee 4 Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee 6 Committee on the Future Relationship with the European Union 8 International Trade Committee 10 Home Affairs Committee 12 Transport Committee 14 Environmental Audit Committee 16 About Cicero/AMO 19 Foreword After December’s General Election, the House of Commons Select Committees have now been reconstituted. Cicero/AMO is pleased to share with you our analysis of the key Select Committees, including a look at their Chairs, members, the ‘ones to watch’ and their likely priorities. Select Committees – made up of backbench MPs – are charged with scrutinising Government departments and specific policy areas. They have become an increasingly important part of the parliamentary infrastructure, and never more so than in the last Parliament, where the lack of Government majority and party splits over Brexit allowed Select Committees to provide an authoritative form of Government scrutiny. However, this new Parliament looks very different. The large majority afforded to Boris Johnson in the election and the resulting Labour leadership contest give rise to a number of questions over Select Committee influence. Will the Government take Select Committee recommendations seriously as they form policy, or – without the need to keep every backbencher on side - will they feel at liberty to disregard the input of Committees? Will the Labour Party regroup when a new Leader is in place and provide a more effective Opposition or will a long period of navel-gazing leave space for Select Committees to fill this void? While Select Committees’ ability to effectively keep Government in check remains unclear, they will still be able to influence the media narrative around their chosen areas of inquiry.
