Speeches by Brewer.

“Just to follow up on that, we know that obviously there are many barriers for disabled people. People with learning disabilities seem to be very much at the bottom of the pile. We know, for example, that only 6% are in any kind of paid employment, despite many more wanting to be, and that this figure has not changed in…”

“What specific skills and experience can you draw on to inform your approach as equality law regulator and enforcer?”

“I welcome the Government’s investment in supporting veterans, but as my hon. Friend the Member for Glastonbury and Somerton (Sarah Dyke) mentioned recently in the House, female veterans are about 10% less likely to be employed after service than male veterans. What specific steps are the Government taking to address th…”

“18. What steps he is taking to ensure that veterans receive adequate support after leaving the armed forces.”

“My question is, are we increasing the prevalence of BDD by normalising cosmetic procedures?”

“That is really interesting, thank you. Is there any evidence at all around—I don’t necessarily want to say an addictive behaviour, but a kind of, “Oh, I’ll just have a little more; and now I’ve done this and it went okay, I’ll try that”? Do you get a lot of repeat custom, or is it, like you said, that very rational “I …”

“Dr Daniels, I would like to ask you about body dysmorphic disorder and pre-existing mental health conditions. How prevalent is body dysmorphic disorder among individuals seeking cosmetic procedures, and how is it typically identified?”

“Yes, there is no critical analysis in that situation. What impact is the normalisation and accessibility of cosmetic procedures having on the prevalence of BDD, given that there is an absence of data?”

“More across the board, thank you. Do you think there is currently adequate support for people suffering with BDD? If someone presents to your clinic, where would you refer them to?”

“I rise to speak in favour of new clause 12. We agree in principle that victims should have access to the court transcripts—indeed, it has been a long-standing campaign by my hon. Friend the Member for Richmond Park (Sarah Olney). That is very important for victims, especially if they have been subject to coercive contr…”

“Does the hon. Member believe that people capable of such violence would be equally violent with a probation officer or a police officer taking them to court?”

“I thank the Minister for her comments. While I understand that this is a novel approach and I welcome the measures in the Bill as a first step, we believe that they do not go far enough and still leave children at risk. Question put, That the amendment be made.”

“There are mechanisms in place, but they put undue onus on the non-offending parent. Does the Minister agree that the onus should be shifted to the offending parent?”

“I thank the Minister for her assurances. As with our previous amendment, I look forward to working with her on improving the family court. However, the Domestic Abuse Commissioner, women’s and children’s charities, and victims strongly urged us all to ensure that children and non-offending parents are at the heart of t…”

“I beg to move amendment 25, in clause 3, page 6, line 19, after “justice” insert— “or of a child and the non-offending parent”. This amendment would mean that a judge could have discretion to decide not to make a prohibited steps order when it was not deemed in the interest of a child and the non-offending parent. This…”

“It is very clear that a child of a sex offender is at risk, regardless of whether the sex offender has committed that offence against their own child or another child. The amendment would seek to broaden the provisions for removing parental responsibility from children of sex offenders. I would like to share some of my…”

“I beg to move amendment 24, in clause 3, page 6, leave out lines 1 and 2 and insert— “for a serious sexual offence committed against a child.” This amendment would extend the provision of restricting parental responsibility where a parent is sentenced for a serious sexual offence committed against a child, regardless o…”

“I assume, therefore, that there is also a connection between manosphere ideologies and the use of AI to target, harass and exploit women as we have talked about already in this session.”

“Thank you so much, Laura. This is really powerful and, as we have said, horrifying. You have very clearly explained the link between the online and offline content, and I want to explore a little about the manosphere and ideologies. Have you seen evidence that manosphere ideologies specifically promote and lead to viol…”

“To what degree do you think manosphere ideologies have entered mainstream politics?”
