Robert BucklandHOST
No commentary, no opinion, well maybe a little, just the truth about how it all operates from the inside.
Robert BucklandHOST
I'm Robert Buckland, former UK cabinet minister.
Alun EvansHOST
And I'm Alun Evans, former UK senior civil servant.
Alun EvansHOST

James O'BrienHOST
Contracts that you were 10 times more likely to secure if you had been referred to the VIP lane by somebody like...
James O'BrienHOST
Dominic Raab, Robert Buckland, the then Welsh Secretary Simon Hart and, of course, dishonest Bob Jenrick listed only as a, quote, possible referrer.
James O'BrienHOST
If you get confused about why some sort of very incurious people who identify as right wing are always banging on how important it is to look after business, this is quite a helpful insight for you.
James O'BrienHOST
It's a gang.
SamHOST
So there's a new report that's been released on neurodivergence and work and the challenges neurodivergent people face obtaining and maintaining work.
SamHOST
This follows the 2024 Buckland report that focus on autism, but when I spoke for Robert Buckland, he mentioned it was to support neurodivergent people in the wider sense as well.
SamHOST
I'm curious from your perspective, what the difference with the reports are and what came of the recommendations in the Buckland report?
Stephen TimmsGUEST
Well, I think Robert Buckland's work, and I've spoken to Robert about it since the election, I think his report was a very good start.
Stephen TimmsGUEST
We, before the election, had a program of improving rights at work, which was the basis for what is now the Employment Rights Act.
Stephen TimmsGUEST
And that raised concerns about the way that neurodivergent people are supported in work.
Stephen TimmsGUEST
And so we wanted to look at this from that broader perspective from the start.
Stephen TimmsGUEST
So Amanda Kirby and her team were commissioned quite early on in the life of this government.
Carl TurnerGUEST
I think so.
Carl TurnerGUEST
The reality was the irony was that the Conservatives had every opportunity and every reason to do what the Labour Party was planning to do in government on juries because Robert Buckland as Lord Chancellor was Lord Chancellor during the pandemic.
Carl TurnerGUEST
So he could have done what the government were doing.
Carl TurnerGUEST
The reality is it was a Labour government.
Robert BucklandHOST

Robert BucklandSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Any evidence of the funding of terrorist operations would give rise to a potential criminal investigation.
Kevin HirtenHOST
former Justice Minister Sir Robert Buckland.
Robert BucklandSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's very serious when a line is crossed between legitimate democratic debate and meddling or dabbling in paramilitary activity.
Robert BucklandSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And any involvement in paramilitarism has to be, first of all, condemned and secondly, investigated.

Simon BozemanCORRESPONDENT
We'd go to jail.
Simon BozemanCORRESPONDENT
And you can hear our undercover reporter kind of gulp and acknowledge that that would be a terrible idea whilst recording him confessing to organising an introduction to a hitman.
Kevin HirtenHOST
Former Justice Minister Sir Robert Buckland agrees with Jack that what they were talking about could be very serious.
Robert BucklandSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If there's evidence, it would be a conspiracy to murder.
Alan RenwickHOST
Dr. Jess Garland is director of research and policy at the Electoral Reform Society and one of the most perceptive advocates of changing the voting system.
Alan RenwickHOST
And Sir Robert Buckland is the former Conservative MP for Swindon South.
Alan RenwickHOST
He served in government under four prime ministers between 2014 and 2022, including more than two years as Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice.
Alan RenwickHOST
And he has written very thoughtfully about the merits of keeping the current system of first past the post.

Alan RenwickHOST
Well, thank you both so much.
Alan RenwickHOST
As you could tell, we could really go on all afternoon in discussing these matters and perhaps sometime we will if this debate continues.
Alan RenwickHOST
But thank you so much to both of our speakers, to Jess Garland and to Sir Robert Buckland.
Alan RenwickHOST
You've both given enormous value in that discussion.
Robert BucklandHOST
No commentary, no opinion, well, maybe a little bit, just the truth about how it all runs from the inside.

Katie AmessGUEST
But that ...
Katie AmessGUEST
Sir Robert Buckland is doing a review now, but the problem with a review is you aren't compelled to give evidence and call witnesses.
Katie AmessGUEST
So the other reviews that we've had, people have said, "Oh, I don't remember what happened.
Katie AmessGUEST
I, I don't want to speak to you," and notes have gone missing between counterterrorism and the government.
Katie AmessGUEST
If it was a judge-led inquiry, you are forced to give the evidence, you have to come to court, and you have to say what you know.
Katie AmessGUEST
So that is what I am continuing to push for.
Katie AmessGUEST
I'm willing to work with Sir Robert Buckland, and hopefully in the new year he'll have some answers for us, but if he doesn't, then I'll be going straight back to 10 Downing Street, and I'll be saying, "Okay, when am I getting the inquiry then?"
Iain DaleHOST
How have you and your family coped over the last five years? Um, uh, I mean, you've take- you've, because you've been wanting answers to these questions, you've taken on quite a public profile, which I suspect that you're actually quite uncomfortable with, but you-
speaker_15SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
obviously going to be the temptation because it was so horrible and so dramatic
Katie AmessGUEST
to me nothing has improved nothing has been sorted they just want me to shut up and get on with my life but i'm not going to i'm going to get those answers and i'm working with sir robert buckland now to do a review of the review of the review of the review and listen i hope he does get me those answers but if he doesn't i'll be going back to 10 downing street and i'll be saying i don't have any of the answers the members of public the members of parliament still aren't safe
Abi SimpsonHOST
The government has commissioned that independent review, but has stopped short of commissioning a full public inquiry, something which has angered David's daughter, Katie.
Katie AmessGUEST
So the inquiry should have been triggered instantly.
