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.

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.

Northern Ireland Protocol

Sir Bernard Jenkin

That this House supports the stated aims of the Northern Ireland Protocol of the EU Withdrawal Agreement, upholding the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement in all its dimensions and respecting the integrity of the EU and UK internal markets; recognises that new infrastructure and controls at the border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic must be avoided to prevent dangers to peace and to encourage stability and trade; notes the far larger volume of trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland; regards flexibility as being in the mutual interests of the EU and UK, given the unique constitutional and political circumstances of Northern Ireland; regrets EU threats of legal action; further notes the EU and UK mutual commitment to adopt measures with a view to avoiding controls at the ports and airports of Northern Ireland to the extent possible; is conscious of the need to avoid separating the Unionist community from the rest of the UK, consistent with the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement; and further notes that, whilst a minority of provisions of the Northern Ireland Protocol have not been applied to GB-NI trade during the various grace periods and no goods have entered the EU threatening the EU internal market, also recognises that Article 13(8) of the Protocol provides for potentially superior arrangements to those currently in place.

That—

(1) The following Standing Order be made:

IEP recommendations for sanctions and the Recall of MPs Act 2015

(1) The Chair of the Independent Expert Panel shall send to the Chair and Members of the Committee on Standards and to the Clerk of that Committee any report from a sub-panel of the IEP which he has referred to the Clerk of the House under sub-paragraph (5)(d) of Standing Order No. 150A (Independent Expert Panel) and which contains a determination for a sanction that would, if made by the Committee on Standards, engage the provisions of the Recall of MPs Act 2015.

(2) Where a report has been sent to the Committee on Standards in accordance with paragraph (1) of this Order the Committee on Standards shall make a report to the House in relation to the Member named in that report, setting out a recommendation for a suspension equal to that determined by the sub-panel to run concurrently with any sanction imposed as a result of the sub-panel’s determination.

(3) Reports under paragraph (2) must be made no later than on the third sitting day after the report of the IEP sub-panel is sent to members of the Committee on Standards, save that the day on which the report is sent shall not be counted in calculating this period.

(4) If the Committee on Standards is unable to meet within 3 sitting days, the Chair of that Committee shall, if satisfied that the report from the IEP sub-panel has been sent to all members of the Committee, make the report to the House from the Committee required under paragraph (2).

(2) The following amendments to Standing Orders be made:

(a) In Standing Order No. 149 (Committee on Standards), paragraph (1), at the end insert

(c) in accordance with Standing Order No. (IEP recommendations for sanctions and the Recall of MPs Act 2015) to report to the House recommendations for sanctions to run concurrently with sanctions determined by a sub-panel of the IEP and implemented by the House.

(b) In Standing Order No. 150D (Motions consequent on the ICGS), paragraph (1), at the end, insert

“() a motion under paragraph (1) of this Order includes a motion to implement a sanction recommended by the Committee on Standards under Standing Order No. (IEP recommendations for sanctions and the Recall of MPs Act 2015), or a motion to implement both such a sanction and a sanction determined by a sub-panel of the IEP”.

(3) The provisions of Standing Order (IEP recommendations for sanctions and the Recall of MPs Act 2015) shall be applied in respect of any report from the Independent Expert Panel published before this Order is agreed which contains a determination for a sanction that, if it had been made by the Committee on Standards, would have engaged the provisions of the Recall of MPs Act 2015, save that, notwithstanding the provisions of that Standing Order, the sanction recommended by the Committee on Standards in such a case shall be limited to 14 days and the provisions of Standing Order No. 45A (Suspension of salary of Members suspended) shall not apply in respect of any suspension imposed in consequence of such a recommendation, and the provisions of the Standing Order shall be interpreted as if the day this Order is agreed had been the day on which the Report was sent to Members of the Committee on Standards in accordance with that Standing Order.
