Speeches by Fookes.

“I thank the Minister for that £445 million investment, which will be a fundamental driver of economic growth and connectivity in south Wales. What action is she taking with Cabinet colleagues and industry partners to ensure that a new station serving my constituents in Magor and Undy is delivered without delay, getting…”

“6. What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to improve cross-border rail connectivity between Wales and England.”

“T1. If he will make a statement on his departmental responsibilities.”

“At the Conservative party conference, the shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury called for the state pension to be means-tested. This has caused deep concern to pensioners in Monmouthshire who have worked hard all their lives and built up modest savings. Under the Conservative party’s plans, they would risk losing the…”

“Richard, a high incidence of STIs has been observed among some gay and bisexual men using PrEP. Why is that, and what work is being done within the community to address this?”

“Just to follow up on that, Kat—if this question is appropriate for you—what steps are the Government taking to address disproportionately high rates of STIs in the most deprived communities?”

“Thank you everyone for coming this afternoon and appearing before the Committee. My first question is to Kate: could you outline the recent trends in STI prevalence, and tell us where you have concerns?”

“I assume the target of the Government should basically be to eradicate, or to work towards the eradication, of all STIs. Should that be the target?”

“Last week I was delighted to attend the reopening of what was once my local pub when I first moved to Monmouthshire 25 years ago. The Star on the Hill in Llanfihangel Tor y Mynydd was one of 6,000 UK pubs and bars that closed during the 15 years of Tory neglect, but it has been revived by the brilliant local community …”

“I am really pleased that the Government are committed to delivering a full trans-inclusive ban on conversion therapy. When will that legislation be introduced to bring that abusive practice to an end?”

“Last weekend, I attended the reopening of a wonderful pub in my constituency: the Star in Llansoy. It was one of the 10,000 pubs that shut on the Conservatives’ watch, and it has now been reopened by the community. Does the shadow Minister agree that our policies are giving businesses confidence to reopen?”

“Do you believe it should be mandatory?”

“Thank you, panel, for coming before us today. We have talked about the Keogh report already. This question is probably for the MHRA. In 2013, the Keogh review stated that the lack of a formal national reporting system for products that are not classified as medical devices posed a “Very significant risk.” Have there be…”

“What proportion of breast implants in the UK result in complications and adverse reactions each year?”

“Just to clarify, are the tools used in facial thread lifts considered medical devices or not?”

“Now we are up at 80%.”

“I am sorry to interrupt, but that is why we need a mandatory register, so that everyone fills in the details. Then if you are considering having a breast implant you can look at all the statistics and see that, “Well, this type I am being offered looks safe, oh this one’s had ruptures, I’m not going to go with that.” P…”

“Do you think there are any changes needed in data collection and transparency, for example, making it mandatory?”

“So how are complications reported today, and how do you ensure that adverse events are followed up and acted upon?”
