Speeches by Maguire.

“T3. After years of broken promises by the Conservatives, this Government have finally confirmed this week that the Camelford bypass project will not go ahead. Having anticipated that for some time, I have already started working with local stakeholders on a plan B. Will the Roads Minister meet me to discuss an alternat…”

“It was good to see Doncaster regional airport recently attract £30 million from this Government. The public service obligation flight route between Newquay airport and Gatwick is a vital regional connection between Cornwall and the capital, but with the current service ending in July, it is now up for renewal. Will the…”

“I invite the Minister to give way if he can tell us the timetable for that.”

“I warmly welcome the hon. Lady’s offer of being an ally, and I agree that it is so important to the LGBTQ+ community to have that alliance. As well as politicians, public figures desperate for attention and relevance such as J. K. Rowling have poisoned the public discourse with attacks on our trans community, all under…”

“I thank the Minister for the intervention, but that is rather vague considering that we have many years left of this Parliament.”

“Moving on then, as that has answered my question—[Interruption.] Yes, it was an excellent answer. What steps are the Government taking to reduce the time that LGBTQ+ veterans are having to wait for their financial redress applications? I look forward to hearing an update on that later on. Finally, what action are the G…”

“Stratton surgery in my constituency has long been trying to get access to two rooms on the third floor of the surgery that could be used for clinical space, but the ICB seems to be dragging its feet. The rooms were previously used by Cornwall’s ICB for maternity services. They are no longer in use, so can the Minister …”

“Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker; happy Pride Month to you, the whole House, my North Cornwall constituency and, indeed, the whole country. Pride Month is a celebration, but it is also a protest and a call to action—a reminder that the hard-fought rights we won must be defended and that the injustices still endured by m…”

“Will the right hon. Member give way?”

“The town of Camelford in my constituency has been left in limbo for decades over the future of the proposed Camelford bypass. I raised this with the Minister responsible for roads, the hon. Member for Nottingham South (Lilian Greenwood), in a meeting in March, and a follow-up letter was sent in April, but I am yet to r…”

“I recently met Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Chloe Cheung, who reported being followed by men here in London after a large bounty was placed on her head by the Chinese Government. Despite providing copious evidence to the police, she received no follow-up at all. The lawyers of detained activist Jimmy Lai are also b…”

“England’s Lionesses have a brilliant track record, and not just on the pitch; they have continued to win hearts, change attitudes and redefine what women’s sport looks like in this country. From their historic Euro 2022 win to reaching the world cup final last year, they have sparked a cultural shift that has touched e…”

“I rise to speak in support of Liberal Democrat new clauses 83, 84, 85 and 86, tabled by my hon. Friend the Member for Hazel Grove (Lisa Smart). I also commend my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Tunbridge Wells (Mike Martin) on his new clause 43. Representing one of the most rural constituencies in the UK, I know…”

“Just switching back to the recommendations made by Professor Jay and IICAS, when I asked Baroness Casey this morning, “Which one of those recommendations are you most worried about not being implemented as quickly as it needs to be?” She pointed me to the Child Protection Authority. I know that you made an announcement…”

“Is there an approximate timeline on the consultation period?”

“Thanks for that answer. We are going to come on to prevention later, but there has been quite a well-reported underspend by the Home Office on VAWG services in previous years. I would be quite interested to hear your thoughts on how that could be avoided in future; when you are given a pot of money, how can it be ensur…”

“Thank you, Baroness Casey and your team, for such fantastic work and for turning it around so quickly. To pick up on the Alexis Jay recommendations, I noted from your executive summary that you have assumed that those recommendations will now be implemented. We have had lots of reviews, dating back to Lord Laming in 20…”

“I note that recommendation 7 in your report calls for changes to the way that police share data across boundaries—I am thinking particularly of my own area and of county lines drug gangs, which you referenced at the start. You mention that it needs changing, but you do not go as far as saying that it needs a whole new …”

“Thanks, Minister and Gisela, for coming in to see us today. How has the ambition from the Labour Government to halve violence against women and girls in a decade altered your and your team’s approach to funding decisions and how have you done things differently?”

“I congratulate my hon. Friend on her excellent speech. Does she agree that lots of British farmers, like many in my North Cornwall constituency, are trying to move away from confined systems such as crates, but that until the Government insist on applying UK animal welfare standards to imported food, they will be under…”
