Right, we now come to questions to Deputy Prime Minister Bell-Rabira Addy.

Question number one, Mr Speaker.

Thank you, Mr Speaker.

I've been asked to reply.

My right honourable friend, the Prime Minister, has attended the G20 summit, strengthening the

UK's ties with major economies to drive jobs and security at home.

And Mr. Speaker, this week marks 1,000 days of Putin's barbaric war in Ukraine.

We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.

This week also marked equal payday. I am extremely proud that this government has introduced

the Employment Rights Bill, strengthening the rights of working women and making work pay. This morning I will have meetings with ministerial colleagues and others.

In addition to my duties in the House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I recently met with members of the British Association for Biological Anthropology and Osteoarchology who highlighted a loophole in the Human Tissues Act which allows human

remains to be auctioned frequently disguised as modified items or replicas this is

included a fetal skeleton posed under a glass dome a human thigh bone turned into a cane

a human jawbone necklace and the varnished skull

of a six-year-old, often from indigenous communities in Africa and Asia stolen during colonial

expeditions. Does the Deputy Prime Minister agree that it is an abhorrent for human remains,

regardless of their origin or age to be sold by auction houses and on social media sites like

Instagram, Facebook, eBay, Etsy and Gumtree.

And will the government take action to end this depraved practice?

Yes.
