is not for the government or indeed for the select committee to decide.to the secretary of state what procedure the select committee would use to consider the report. and if i may put it like this, i do object to any suggestion that the select committee, and i as chair, cannot be trusted to do ourjob. does the minister share my concerns as to how a letter sent by the secretary of state to the select committee managed to reach journalists at the daily mirror before it was considered by the committee? does that encourage him or discourage him when it comes to sharing confidential information? to meet this motion, it is not at the discretion of the government to decide what to take out, it is now at the discretion of the select committee. and i would therefore urge the government either to meet the terms of the motion in full all to seek to put down a new motion. and after that debate, the speaker suggested in quite a forceful way that the brexit secretary should have a chat with the brexit committee "within days". in fact, it'll be on wednesday. the other t

it is not the government to decide which witnesses appear before select committees. and that is a principle of this committee has always insisted upon. the so-called rules, the rules are the property of the government. they have never been approved by the house. they're not a procedure of the house of commons. there's not to help the government approve who comes in front of the committees. so perhaps you would consider those two points. >> it's the clear view of this committee to ask you to review. >> i'm happy to respond. i know the points you have made and i have responded in writing to the points. as i respond to the letter that the chairman sent. >> this is long-stand issue. i encountered in terms of relationship between ministers and parliament and civil servants and parliament. and as i say, the defense secretary and his permanent secretary are well able to give evidence to the defense committee on defense aspects of the review. but i will -- i have noted the points that are being made and i will respond to them formally when i respond in writing. >> thank you v

their areas of activity appear in front of the and civil servants appear in front of relevant select committee but the relevant committee for the national security committee on the national security strategy, aspects of defense covered by the defense secretary, in response to the defense committee and any other departmental secretary of state and their permanent secretary, the department committee. >> and natural precedent, the national security advisor has appeared, my predecessor committee and national security advisors and as a matter of principle, to choose who their witnesses should be and select committees in that. and let the government decide which witnesses appear before select committee that a principle for this committee insisted upon the so-called rules and the property of government. and help government to decide who to put in front. in the end it is for committees to decide. consider those two too. >> i ask you -- happy to respond. i know the point you made, respond in writing to these and respond to the letter the chairman cents. the case of defending himself before the committe

when we look at the appearances in front of the select committees it is accountable to the department on the basis the minister is accountable to the committee. for the committee and the defense committee without that before then but there is precedent to appear and we feel very strongly on the capability in relation to the defense secretary in that particular issue of the rights to the chairman. [inaudible] we need to establish very clearly. if the ministers decide or they are able to agree those who are responsible for the areas of activity to the select committees and the civil service appearances from the relevant select committee for the national security adviser strategy. aspects of defense for the permanent secretary in response to the committee as any other departmental secretary of states would get evidence to the committee. >> [inaudible] is a matter of precedence that has appeared in front of other committees as a matter of principle do they choose their witnesses should be and the government should assist it is not the government to decide which witnesses appear in the com

and today they are getting a bit of a battering from mr damian collins, the chairman of the select committee, that is looking into all this. i mean, for me, they are the victims of their own success, you can argue. they haven't been very forthcoming and they haven't been very helpful to a committee. as deena has just very helpful to a committee. as deena hasjust said, what very helpful to a committee. as deena has just said, what a select committee in the house of commons can do about all of this, they have no direct powers. yes, they're advertising could be affected. it remains to be seen whether that can and will actually happen. the financial times, eu set for new test of popular sport of italy gears up for election in march. march four, this is. another and establishment party is doing extremely well. indeed, this is called 5—star. it was formed by a comedian in the past and is now doing rather well. but italy is heading for, yes, as you say, a general election. an unpredictable outcome, everybody says. a hung parliament is the likeliest outcome. then we'll be back to the good old days o

about the impact assessments where he was criticised last week when he appeared at the commons select committeeng the impact on various sectors of the economy. it goes back to february when david davis was asked whether or not their weight impact assessments done. at the time he said the government was looking at the impact on 58 different sectors, however last week at the select committee, he was asked again and he said there where no impact assessments at all being done. he was criticised, his integrity brought into question. he was challenged about that today and he was, it was more about the terminology, saying it was impact assessment in the sense of looking at whether there would be a cost as at whether there would be a cost as a result of us leaving the eu on different sectors, but he was talking about sectoral analysis, and he said on this, looking at different aspects like the size of an industry and that sort of thing, but work had been done and there we re but work had been done and there were 850 pages of that had been done, but the sectoral analysis, the more detailed analysis, had

analysis available, mine is commercially sensitive information that may damage negotiations to the select committeens. the british public is extremely sensible and wa nts to public is extremely sensible and wants to know information that will not obstruct negotiations. i don't think anybody in this country wants to know things that would make negotiations harder for the government to carry out, and indeed asi government to carry out, and indeed as i understand it, that is the position of sir keir starmer in the labour party. they think it is reasonable for the government not to reveal information that may have an immediate effect on negotiations. jacob rees—mogg, thank you very much for joining jacob rees—mogg, thank you very much forjoining us. jacob rees—mogg, a member of the parliamentary select committee and part of the conservative party. we will be expecting president trump to make that announcement recognising jerusalem as the capital of israel, overturning decades of us policy and breaking international agreement on this issue, as james robbins was pointing out to us earlier on. officials i

which were based upona select committees which were based upon a genuine misconception.said he had carefully considered the accounts given by ministers but he didn't consider their conduct amounted to a contempt of parliament. now, it's exactly six months since the horrific fire at the grenfell tower block in london. a memorial service has been held in honour of the 71 people who died. members of the 71 people who died. members of the royalfamily, the 71 people who died. members of the royal family, theresa the 71 people who died. members of the royalfamily, theresa may, survivors and the families of the victims attended the multifaith service at st paul's cathedral. in the lord's, the government was asked about new housing for those left homeless and traumatised by the fire. six months is a very long time in these circumstances to be living in hotel accommodation, and no way to spend christmas, vulnerable, u nsettled spend christmas, vulnerable, unsettled and traumatised. can the noble lord tell the house what specific action the government are taking to get these famil

but in between practice and part-time jobs, i did find time to watch the newly formed senate select committee on presidential campaign activities begin its investigation of the watergate scandal. in that moment, our nation stepped into uncharted territory. the strength of our constitution was tested like never before. with the pursuit of justice -- would the pursuit of justice overcome politics? what the institution of the presidency be forever changed? what are the responsibilities of citizens in a republic when a republic's institutions are tested? it was during that spring semester of 1973 that i began to understand the tremendous power of the rule of law. it is guarded by representatives who swear to protect, preserve, and defend the constitution of the united states. when my basketball-playing years ran out, it was this realization that led me to go to law school. my new game would be learning the ins and outs of this system that ensures that the rights of our founders envisioned. my new team would be my fellow classmates and students who would go on to practice law and serve our nation

once you submit it it goes to the selection committee for regular meetings. those happen every 6-8 weeks so you can send a nomination any time of year. when they select a winner, the nomination goes to the production team that conducts interviews and creates a story. >> after a year of stories we invite winners to the theater in san francisco for a medal ceremony. that is not all, they choose five winners as silver medalist. in the 12 years we have been partners with the foundation, many area winners have been invited to washington in several have one national awards. >> this year's winners taught us there is no age limit when it comes to public service. the youngest is eight and the young -- oldest is 93. >> meet macy garnet. >> the first number is and 38. >> she leads a bingo game for cancer patients. a highlight for breanna. >> i have been stuck in here for a week. >> she is known for her had that she crafts and calls maisie pops.>> they are nice and neat. >> most of the time she sells these for between $20 and $35 apiece and donates the proceeds to pediat

select committee has taken evidence on the budget and the recent obr fiscal outlook. obr to approach it on the basis we may be paying more money in relation to our eu contributions over some years to come. i wouldn't want you to go away with the impression that there is a lengthy period of time over which we will be paying money to the european union. that isn't going to be the case. to the extent that the financial settlement covers payments that we would have made of the member state, that we would have made of the memberstate, and we that we would have made of the member state, and we won't be required to pay more or sooner, then the settlement is already provided for in the budget forecast. it is not the case that these sums of money are additional to that because they baked in payments. the obr is breaking in anticipated future domestic spending which may not be correct. that may be something the obr might have to change in their future fiscal outlook. but the obr has done is take a fiscally neutral approach to this. they said that any savings made from not payin

better say they have been quite rocked by the suggestion of brexit, they spoke to the treasury select committee five —— £500 million to cope with the new borders and everything and it would ta ke borders and everything and it would take the many years to implement. it is interesting now that they are chasing this down. it was in september, it was reported by the office for budget responsibility that hmrc had been aggressively going after inheritance tax which is what this is being classed under and it was going to be up 15%, the current action, so inheritance tax is something they are zoning in on. it would apply to anyone who has donated to either of the campaigns? the story says the remain supporter has also have this, so this is not just leave supporters, so it would apply to both camps. if they are the rules, they are not being picked on. i would say not. and also, they raised the point that this didn't happen with the av vote but maybe something has shifted. however, that said, ido something has shifted. however, that said, i do feel for her hmrc because i have plenty of friends who are ci

she got through pmqs on that that select committee is the most gruelling so fair play to her.felt like she had got into a groove but this is a bit of a step back. theresa may's critics would say she is a decent person, genuine, believes in doing the right thing. i think she would be not impressed by damian green's behaviour and in the end she is not the sort of person who would let it slide. donald trump has been in the news this evening. he has been in buoyant mood as a result of tax policy in the us but the guardian from pages concentrating on what he said about the un. his decision regarding jerusalem being the capital of israel as far as he sees it and the critics who are mounting against him. again with donald trump he is rewriting rules on international diplomacy, saying countries that do not back his resolution on jerusalem countries that do not back his resolution onjerusalem will lose aid. quitea resolution onjerusalem will lose aid. quite a big move by him. what we are also seeing, america having a different face to the world. this is a bullying thing for someone to

he also made the mistake of telling the select committee he had them.ed to never talk about any papers even what happened to david davis. is meant to have them in the labour mps want them, which is why bright. we have one heck of a year ahead. it has taken us all of 2017 to get to first base. now we have a long way to go and everything should be in place by october if we are to have a deal. and everything should be in place by october if we are to have a dealm would be nice if there was not a running commentary on nothing happening. to be honest, by the time i got to christmas eve i thought that this was like... all they needed was cliff richard to come out and sing congratulations. it was like the rain washing our wimbledon because nothing is happening. much of this is political manoeuvring. it isa of this is political manoeuvring. it is a reasonable story, it is generally quite right that the taxpayer funded research should be made available. they should be running commentary on the basis that it is the biggest constitutional change that we have had.

he told the treasury select committee that it would be inconceivable for the uk not to pay its financialve a deal. downing street came out a few hours later and said, i think not. they said the offer from the uk was contingent on getting that future trade relationship. a few hours earlier, david davis, the brexit secretary, confirmed that the government hadn't carried out a formal impact assessment of the consequences of brexit, and that was enough to ensure that the brexit select committee, voting on party lines, voted, but it is in not in contempt of parliament. thank you very much. every since band aid — the charity single put together by a host of a—list musicians back in 1984, we've got used to the idea of celebrities rallying around to solve world poverty. this christmas will be no different — ed sheeran, tom hardy, and eddie redmayne are all starring in adverts aimed at raising money for humanitarian crises — child malnutrition, famine, the war in yemen. their intentions are beyond reproach. they raise awareness and often millions of pounds. but there is a growing unease at the si

this is just the start of this, i the home affairs select committee is also looking into this, and mightg some evidence from some of these big social media companies in these big social media companies in the next week. for christmas i think we will see a lot of this in parliament. plastics aid, front page of the times. a suggestion that michael gove is going to push for more of britain's overseas aid budget. more of that should be spent trying to reduce plastic pollution in the oceans after a study found 90% of the waste came from ten rivers in asia. this will strike a chord with people watching blue planet. and the daily mail has had a big campaign on this. it really is horrifying to see what this does to see life. arguably, it is a good cause. see life. arguably, it is a good cause. yeah, i think it's a great idea. you don't think about the cycling really happening in other parts of the world, you only know about what you do yourself. —— recycling. the idea you would start encouraging other countries as part ofan aid encouraging other countries as part of an aid investment, and aid pa

labour's yvette cooper, chair of the home affairs select committee, accused the firms of failing to removeerial quickly enough. 0ur media editor amol rajan has more details. harmful content online takes cou ntless forms but not all of them are illegal. there is the hate speech that attacks individuals on the basis of attributes such as disability or gender. that is quite separate from extremist content, which propagates the worldview of those ranging from neo—nazis to so—called islamic state. how easy is it to find this material online? very easy indeed. 0ne campaigner working with mps on the issue believes social media platforms you're vulnerable adults into the extremist web. platforms lure vulnerable adults into the extremist web. how big an issue is soft extremism? it is a significant issue because actually the material clearly is not removed, it is not illegal in the eyes of social media providers. the other factor is their algorithms are diverging individuals who may have an aggressive worldview, and the algorithms direct them to join other groups who may have similar content. today

in between practice and part-time jobs i found time to watch the senate select committee on presidential campaign activities begin its investigation of the scandal. in that moment the nation was in uncharted territory and it was tested like never before. it was during the spring semester i begin to understand the tremendous power in the rules of law by those that swear to protect, preserve and defend the constitution of these united states. learning the ins and outs students would want to practice law and serve the nation at all levels. i was fortunate to help with some that were deprecated in the public service. one of them was in the department of justice and in those days you could g go department of justice without having to show an id and i quickly discovered after i got my breakfast that i had forgotten my wallet and so jeff sessions had to pay forea my mel and continued to pay it forward today as a dear friend and mentor. jeff sessions is a great man of principle and it's not far-fetched in my opinion to say some temperament found off from the state delete the senior senator richa

but today, the brexit secretary told the select committee they actually do not exist. [laughter] can the prime minister put us out of our misery? do they exist, or don't they? have they done the work, or haven't they? surely, that is one question she can answer after 18 months. [hear! hear!] prime minister may can i make a : gentle suggestion to the opposition? he asked me a question on the northern irish border. i answered the question. he then stood up and said i had not answered the question. perhaps he should listen to the answers.

a report by the commons defence select committee says the mod will struggle to make the necessary savingsjets, warships and armoured vehicles, as ian palmer reports. she is the flagship of the royal navy. hms queen elizabeth, commissioned by her majesty the queen earlier this month. at 218m long, she has space for a0 jet planes but defence in this century doesn't come cheap. the biggest warship the british navy has ever had cost more than £3 billion. another aircraft carrier is being built in scotland. the ministry of defence wants to spend £178 billion on more military equipment over the next ten years but it has to make savings to achieve that goal. to do that it will have to sell buildings and make efficiencies. however, the defence committee is extremely doubtful the mod can make those savings from an already stretched budget. the committee says funding pressures will inevitably lead to a reduction in the number of warships, jets and armoured vehicles the mod can buy. the government is currently carrying out a defence review. it is widely expected to recommend more cuts. with the chan
