Divisiveness
The provided transcript does not show any direct disagreement between the speakers. Instead, it consists of corrections to previous statements made in the House. Nesil Caliskan corrects the name of a director from ‘Baron William Astor’ to ‘the hon. William Waldorf Astor’, which is a factual correction rather than a disagreement. Similarly, Sir John Hayes corrects the location from ‘south Atlantic’ to ‘south Pacific’, again a factual correction without any indication of disagreement with another member or party. Both corrections are made to ensure accuracy in the record, and there is no evidence of contention or debate between different viewpoints. Therefore, the session is rated low on disagreement, with a score of 1.
