Speeches by Obese-Jecty.

“I wholeheartedly agree. I will come on to it in a little more detail later, but I think the hon. Member is absolutely right that it is a tragedy that at the same time as we have been awarded the Tour de France, the biggest race in the cycling calendar, in 2027, the easiest place to be able to see that will be in person…”

“I wholeheartedly agree with the hon. Member’s sentiments. Cycling is one of those sports that people almost fall into by accident. Everybody had a bike when they were growing up; everyone learns how to ride a bike. I think that the inspiration for riding that bike and, potentially, taking that further and wanting to ap…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered the potential merits of free-to-air coverage of professional cycling. It is a great pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Allin-Khan, and I am grateful for the opportunity to open the debate. Growing up, many of us had a sporting hero: a star striker, a gold medal w…”

“I, too, thank the Prime Minister for his support to President Zelensky yesterday, following the circus that was his meeting with President Trump and Vice-President Vance in the Oval Office. Following the Prime Minister’s discussions with President Trump last Thursday, can the Prime Minister provide assurance regarding …”

“You mentioned destroying the evidence for people’s addresses after 21 days. In a constituency near mine, for example, one of the independent candidates acted as his own agent, so while I appreciate that while you get rid of his address after 21 days, that is scant consolation after he has put tens of thousands of leafl…”

“Picking up Dr Collignon’s point about the threshold at which police can act, I have reported a lot of abuse to the police, and I have seen huge inconsistency in the way different forces handle issues. I don’t think it is necessarily the threshold at which the police can act, but the determining of what constitutes a cr…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Stringer. I thank my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Kenilworth and Southam (Sir Jeremy Wright) for securing this timely debate. His wealth of knowledge on this topic is clear, and his voice in pursuing the most effective iteration of the legislation ha…”

“Can we only close that with legislation?”

“My question is for Professor Margetts and is with regard to your experience of social media generally. In terms of racist abuse, and to your point about high-profile people, we have seen the abuse that Kemi Badenoch, Rishi Sunak, David Lammy and Diane Abbott all receive, but it is not just people at the higher level. I…”

“A quick question: to what extent do the Government support CARICOM’s 10-point plan for reparatory justice?”

“As a veteran, I welcome the move to 2.5%. It is a milestone on the right track to increasing defence spending to 3.0% and probably beyond, particularly given that defence chiefs are reported to have requested 2.65%. With increasing defence spending and suggestions that British forces may be involved in a peacekeeping m…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Vickers. I thank the Petitions Committee for enabling this debate; Kim Campbell for launching the petition; the hon. and learned Member for Folkestone and Hythe (Tony Vaughan) for opening the debate; and the 128,000 signatories of the petition, including 225 people …”

“Opposition Members are broadly supportive of this Bill and its aims, which build on the work done by the previous Conservative Government and refined by Members of the other place. I will focus primarily on deepfakes and AI-generated images, specifically in relation to clauses 91 and 141. I commend Baroness Owen for he…”

“In my constituency of Huntingdon, I have two sites that form a key component of pre-clinical animal testing. Labcorp, where the testing takes place, and Marshall BioResources, where the beagle puppies are bred and then tested on. Almost none survive the testing process. While I do not support animal testing, I recognis…”

“4. If he will take steps to repair Hinchingbrooke hospital before buildings containing reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete reach the end of their lifespan in 2030.”

“Last July, Deborah Lee, the senior responsible officer for the Hinchingbrooke hospital redevelopment programme, stated that the deadline for the new hospital was 2030. In a written answer to me last year, the Minister confirmed that, even after the mitigation measures of failsafe steelwork, the lifespan of the remainin…”
