Speeches by Harris.

“The Welsh, known for our singing, are united in concern for Swansea’s global superstar Bonnie Tyler, who has been hospitalised in Portugal due to ill health. Will the Leader of the House join me in wishing Bonnie a safe and speedy recovery? As the song that she first recorded in ’88 says, she is simply the best.”

“Order. No talking across the Chamber.”

“In May 2025, the all-party parliamentary group on beauty and wellbeing, which I chair, launched an inquiry into ultraviolet safety in the UK. Over nine months, we have taken evidence from the industry, academics, clinicians and those with lived experience to understand the dangers of overexposure and what more can be d…”

“Order. These are very long interventions. Some Members have given a speech and others will have an opportunity to speak later and will be able to make their points. We need to make progress.”

“I call Alex Ballinger to wind up briefly.”

“Thank you. Mr Ballinger, if you want to intervene, can you do it appropriately?”

“Order. Mr Ballinger, please sit down. Shadow Minister, please speak through the Chair.”

“If we are to allow Front-Bench speakers to have ample time, we should bear that in mind with any interventions.”

“Order. Dr Beccy Cooper, you will be making a speech. There will be an appropriate time for you to make your points.”

“Order. Can we not have debate across the Chamber, please? Can you finish your wind-up, Mr Ballinger?”

“I will be very brief, as I am not attempting to audition for a BAFTA, unlike some colleagues. Neither am I trying to attempt any factional point scoring, as some colleagues have done today. The Prime Minister himself said yesterday that Peter Mandelson should never have been appointed as our ambassador to the US, so le…”

“Order. I am very keen to call the Minister by 5.30 pm, so may I ask Members to keep their comments short?”

“I remind hon. Members that they may only make a speech with the prior permission of the Member in charge of the debate and the Minister. As is the convention for 30-minute debates, there will not be an opportunity for the Member in charge to wind up. The debate will end by 5.40 pm.”

“It should be a fundamental right to be safe at home. The Courts and Tribunals Bill delivers that for children in this country by removing the presumption of parental contact. Will the Solicitor General join me in paying tribute to the tireless campaigning of Claire Throssell, who has fought every day in Jack and Paul’s…”

“I call the co-sponsor of the debate, Dan Aldridge.”

“Order. May I ask the hon. Member to come to her question?”

“I look forward to that.”

“Our Welsh culture and community are a huge part of our heritage.
