Speeches by Fookes.

“There have actually been six permanent and interim. Why do you think that change in CEOs happened so often?”

“I am going to ask about the guidance now. Baroness Falkner, you said that no one has lost a right, but in its interpretation, the Supreme Court said that its interpretation would not be disadvantageous or remove protection from trans people with or without a GRC, yet you have described it as enormously consequential. Y…”

“But they have: they have lost the right to use the toilet of their choice. I have heard from people in my constituency in Monmouthshire that trans people who are not out have lost their right. For example, trans women who have been trans women for 30 years and have not told their work they are a trans woman—they do not…”

“Does my hon. and learned Friend agree that the best way of keeping women’s protections to have an abortion and to stop the criminalisation of women, which he has been talking about, is to support new clause 1, which my hon. Friend the Member for Gower (Tonia Antoniazzi) has tabled, to the Crime and Policing Bill?”

“9. What steps her Department is taking to support the growth of creative industries in Wales.”

“A musician, an animator and a horror writer are among the many constituents who have written to me recently to express their concerns about generative AI being trained on their work without compensation and without their consent. They need action now, not in 18 months when the damage will have been done and their work …”

“T2. Recently I have been contacted by constituents with concerns that breaking into the arts and creative industries, and staying in those industries, is incredibly difficult for those from lower-income backgrounds or those living outside major cities and media hubs. As the Minister knows, having visited Monmouthshire …”

“You have answered this to some degree, Janaya, but could you build on what you and Dr Lisa have already said about how the manosphere content leads on, if indeed it does, to violence against women, and how does it amplify, in your opinion?”

“In terms of the link, how can we break the link between the manosphere and the content that boys and men are seeing? What makes them then go on to commit an act? Obviously not every young boy who sees that content will go on and do something, so what is it that is making them act? I do not know if anyone else wants to …”

“Janaya, in several of the answers we have touched on the Online Safety Act. Just to be clear, do you think that the Online Safety Act adequately addresses misogynistic content online?”

“Kaitlyn, I agreed with your comments on regulation, moderation and education. I thought that was really powerful, but I have just been sitting here thinking, “How are we going to get any social media company to moderate?”. Would you say it would be a good idea for us to recommend that we need to try to persuade one soc…”

“Dr Katelyn or Dr Lisa, do you want to make a comment about what kinds of behaviour or harm towards women the manosphere encourages?”

“Just to finish on that point, do you feel that needs to be included in the strategy for halving violence against women and girls?”

“Will my hon. Friend give way?”

“Will my hon. Friend give way?”

“Will my hon. Friend give way?”
