BUSINESS OF THE DAY 1. HIGHER EDUCATION (FREEDOM OF SPEECH) BILL: SECOND READING Until 10.00pm (Standing Order No. 9(3)) Keir Starmer Angela Rayner Kate Green Matt Western Thangam Debbonaire Sir Alan Campbell That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill, notwithstanding the need to ensure legal protections for freedom of speech and academic freedom, because the Bill is a hate speech protection bill which could provide legal protection and financial recompense to those seeking to engage in harmful and dangerous speech on university campuses, including Holocaust denial, racism, and anti-vaccination messages. 4 Monday 12 July 2021 OP No.31: Part 1 BUSINESS TOday: CHAMBER Daisy Cooper Ed Davey Wendy Chamberlain Mr Alistair Carmichael Tim Farron Layla Moran Jamie Stone Wera Hobhouse Christine Jardine Sarah Olney Munira Wilson Sarah Green That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill because higher education institutions already operate within a legal and regulatory framework in which they are required to ensure that freedom of speech within the law is secured for academic staff, students, employees and for visiting speakers, because the Bill exposes higher education institutions and student unions to unnecessary additional burdens to meet the proposed regulatory duties, including potential civil litigation costs, and because the Bill fails to bring forward meaningful reforms to balance the competing legal obligations already in existence. John McDonnell Bell Ribeiro-Addy Apsana Begum Ian Lavery Ian Mearns Zarah Sultana Claudia Webbe Ms Diane Abbott Jeremy Corbyn Kate Osamor Lloyd Russell-Moyle Kate Osborne Jon Trickett Ian Byrne Dawn Butler That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill, notwithstanding the importance of protecting freedom of speech and academic freedom in higher education, because the Bill would undermine rather than strengthen those freedoms, because the Bill fails to protect academic freedom and actually narrows the legal definition of it, limiting protections for academic staff, because the Bill fails to address the most serious threats to freedom of speech and academic freedom in the form of endemic casualised employment, attacks on the arts and humanities, insecurity of research funding, and the Government’s own policies such as the Prevent duty, because the Bill fails to offer protections to staff who are targeted for redundancy by management because of their research, and because the Bill fails to secure the ability of staff to speak out against their employers, and would empower the Office for Students to politically interfere in university and academic life, seriously imperilling academic freedom and democratic norms.

    The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP 30 January 2020 Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA Dear Prime Minister, We are writing to you as a group of cross-party parliamentarians to express our grave concern over the contents of US President Donald Trump’s so-called ‘peace plan’ for Israel and the Palestinians. The plan presented on 28 January shows contempt for the rights of the Palestinian people and international law, and provides no realistic basis for a return to negotiations. Instead, it makes peace less likely, and threatens to undermine a fundamental principle of the post-WWII international legal order: the prohibition of annexation and territorial conquest. The long-standing position of the UK is that a negotiated peace settlement must be agreed to achieve a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders, leading to a safe and secure Israel living alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state that has secure and recognised borders, and with Jerusalem as a shared capital of both states. The vision presented by the US administration is one where Palestinians would have none of these: no true shared capital in Jerusalem, no sovereign control of its borders or security, and with Israeli control far beyond the Green Line. As a group of 16 UK charities warned this week: “if implemented [the plan] will lead to the formal annexation of Palestinian land, perpetual Israeli occupation, and the negation of Palestinians’ collective right to self-determination.” It is a plan that the Palestinians have no choice but to reject if they wish to maintain their fundamental rights, but that they will be punished for not accepting.

    Liaison Committee House of Commons London SW1A 0AA Tel: 020 7219 5675 Email: [email protected] Website: https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/103/liaison-committee-commons From Sir Bernard Jenkin MP, Chair Rt Hon Jacob Rees-Mogg MP Leader of the House House of Commons London SW1A 0AA 17 February 2021 Dear Jacob, In anticipation of the announcement of the end of the current Parliamentary Session, I am writing on behalf of Select Committee Chairs to highlight a number of pieces of legislation which are awaiting time in the Government’s legislative programme. The Government’s legislative programme has been understandably impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, but there are a number of outstanding proposals which Committees are keen to see brought forward or where further action or information is required: • Passing the Environment Bill should be a Government priority, given the gap that now exists in environmental governance following the end of the transition period. Provisions in the Bill respond to recommendations the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee and the Environmental Audit Committee have made across a range of inquiries in recent years. Both Committees conducted pre-legislative scrutiny of the first part of the Bill in 2019 and have continued to monitor its progress during the current Session. • The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee have also conducted pre-legislative scrutiny on the Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill, which increases sentences for some animal cruelty offences. This Bill will implement recommendations from the Committee dating back to 2016. The Committee completed pre-legislative scrutiny on the relevant provisions in 2018 but the Bill has yet to complete passage through the House.

  • United Kingdom House of Commons Received on 7 Jan 2020
    Written evidence from UK House of Commons on its petitioning system Background I am pleased to contribute to the Standing Committee’s inquiry into its environment and petitions functions. This evidence covers the traditional public (paper) petitioning system and the e-petitioning system which has been operated jointly by the UK Government and House of Commons since 2015 and is overseen by the House of Commons Petitions Committee. Public petitions Paper Petitions - History The right of the subject to petition the Monarch for redress of personal grievances has a long history, having been recognised in the Magna Carta and restated in the Bill of Rights 1689. The first known petitions to the Lords and to both Houses of Parliament date from the reign of Richard II (1377 to 1399) but the practice seems to have become more widespread from the reign of Henry IV (1399 to 1413) onwards. During the 16th and early parts of the 17th centuries, petitions relating to issues of public policy became increasingly popular. As petitions during this time were taken before the start of debates, they were often used as a way of obstructing business. A Select Committee in 1832 was established to tackle this problem and the House agreed to introduce more stringent rules via standing orders. In 1912-13 there were 10,221 petitions presented, this however fell dramatically in 1919 to 121. In 1939-40 only one petition was presented to the House. In more recent times, the 2016-17 session saw 328 petitions presented, of which 296 were formally presented on the floor of the House of Commons.
