david frost is to be made a peer but their was disquiet about his appointment in the lords too. of proven resilience and stamina, he used to work for me. but he's been put in a very difficult position. will the minister reassure us that the government understands that the primary role of the national security adviser is speaking truth to power and not acting as a delivery mechanism to impose policies born in the back shop of number ten. and the first ever national security adviser, weighed into the row. since mr frost has not, as far as i know, worked on defence or security or intelligence matters the way each of his predecessors have done — how is mr gove's dictum about the performance of the civil servant to be weighed in the light of mr frost's appointment? the prime minister has decided that the role of the national security adviser and the cabinet secretary be divided, and that will give the incumbent the time and dedication to display his skills. i'm in no doubt that he will. and the soon to be lord frost, did have some supporters. david frost will be a valuable member of

the minister in the lords said he was sure david frost would " display his skills"."the spirit" of recommendations from a review into bias against ethnic minorities in the justice system in england and wales. labour's david lammy, who carried out the report for former prime minister david cameron, wanted all 35 of his recommendations implemented. the minister insisted progress was being made. so the position now is that 16 recommendations have been completed, two have been rejected and 17 are in progress. of those 17 in progress, 11 will be completed within12 months and six thereafter. let me close by saying this, madam deputy speaker. enormous progress has been made, particularly in respect to the functioning and fairness of prisons. the government needs to go further than my review went. not cover up for those recommendations it ignored. change will only happen when you look in the mirror honestly. change will only happen when you tell the truth. when we recognise that black lives matter. do not take the community involved for fools. the government has seen off att

the prime minister's decision to appoint the chief negotiator in the brexit talks, david frost, as the commons and the lords with boris johnson accused of politicising a key whitehall role. david frost's appointment was part of a wider shake—up at the top of government, which saw the current national security adviser, sir mark sedwill, who is also the cabinet secretary and the country's top civil servant, standing down. answering an urgent question from labour, the ministerfor the cabinet office, michael gove, defended the move. he is now the uk's brexit negotiator, shaping our future relationship with the eu, covering issues from trade and tariffs to security and defence corporation. as nsa, david frost will help to deliver this government's vision for britain's place in the world, supporting the prime minister in reinvigorating our national security architecture and ensuring that we defend our interests and values across the globe. but labour questioned the appointment. now, the first duty of any government is to keep people safe. in carrying out that duty, any government should have

david frost air, the uk's chief negotiator.id both sides were still "far away" and time was running out for negotiations. there is still no progress. no progress. on two essential topics on our economic partnership. first there must be robust guarantees first, there must be robust guarantees for a level playing field, including on state aid and standards, to ensure open and fair competition among our businesses also over time. this is a core interest for all 27 member states and, in my view, also for the uk. second, we have to agree on a balanced, sustainable and long—term solution for fisheries, with the interests of all member states concerned in mind, and, not least, the many men and women whose livelihoods depend on it on both sides. ladies and gentlemen, these two points should not come as a surprise. we have been saying the same thing since the very beginning of these negotiations. not only this year, but consistently over the last three years. these points are mentioned explicitly in the political declaration, a rather p

the prime minister has appointed his brexit negotiator, david frost, as national security adviser.national security adviser may not have the degree of security experience that you had yourself. do you yourself think that is likely to cause difficulty? can you recall occasions when it was particularly useful or valuable to you to have that security experience? i think i'm probably the worst person to ask because it sounds like i'm going to give myself a reference here. but i was the first national security adviser to run a big domestic apartment, the others had diplomatic experience, permanent secretary the foreign office and my senior ambassadors, they had not run the home office, they did not have the massive domestic security experience. that is what i was able to bring to the job, as well as my diplomatic career. of course, david frost himself is very experienced diplomat he was an ambassador, he led the strategy function in the foreign office before taking up a different career and then returning to government as a political adviser. there have been reports of tensions between
