Speeches by Jardine.

“I actually noticed you were nodding there, Ms Walker, as if that reflects your own experience. To what degree do you think the talking points and what we are hearing are now trickling into mainstream?”

“Doctor Regehr, how many people do you think are exposed to manosphere content even if they are not looking for it? Some may be, but it may just be that algorithms are pointing a lot of people in that direction.”

“Jacob, how many men in the UK do you think are part of this, and how would we go about measuring that?”

“It is a pleasure to see you in the Chair, Ms Furniss. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for South Cotswolds (Dr Savage) on leading the debate with such a powerful speech on behalf of the 120,000 people who want us to consider the petition carefully. I thank them for bringing the voice of the trans community into…”

“I think I have made it absolutely clear that I include women and I include all the LGBT community. But what I object to, with every fibre of my being, is those vulnerable groups being pitted against each other. I think we all do. Every vulnerable group in this society deserves the protection of not just their Governmen…”

“I find this confusing and incomprehensible. Why do the Government need that data? Is there not also a danger that it will get into the hands of the wrong people and there will be a breach of privacy? I just do not understand why we need it. Medical records need it, yes, but do the Government?”

“rose—”

“Will the hon. Lady give way?”

“Will the hon. Lady give way?”

“I appreciate the hon. Lady giving way, given the time constraints. Does she acknowledge the concern that many of us have about not telling patients all the options, particularly young people who are now so social-media literate? Their automatic reaction is to Google everything; in fact, we all do it. The danger is that…”

“This is a very personal one for me, because much of my motivation for supporting the Bill comes from having watched a member of my family die of motor neurone disease. Although perhaps it would have been preferable if motor neurone disease and other degenerative diseases could have been included, I accept that we do no…”

“We are going to struggle to get everybody in, so can Members please keep any interventions brief?”

“I am sure that we would all agree that the wellbeing of our universities is vital to the economic wellbeing of this country. As the Member for Edinburgh West, I know that the wellbeing of our four universities in Edinburgh is vital not just to the economy, but to the livelihoods of many of my constituents. Internationa…”

“We begin with the Select Committee statement. Tom Gordon will speak on the publication of the Joint Committee on Human Rights’ second report of the Session “Accountability for Daesh crimes” for up to 10 minutes, during which no interventions may be taken. At the conclusion of the statement, I will call Members to put q…”

“Order. I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in the debate. Unfortunately, because of its popularity, I will have to impose a time limit of three minutes from the beginning. I intend to go to the Front Benchers at 2.38 pm.”

“Apologies, but I will have to reduce the time limit to two minutes.”

“Thank you all for joining us. Professor Lees, I wonder if we could start with you. We are particularly interested in whether the Royal College of Surgeons has any view on the safety of breast implants, particularly in the light of the emerging evidence of the potential effects on women’s health and what we have all hea…”

“You were told it was safe. Would you say that perhaps that lack of awareness that we have heard about earlier needs to be addressed, and addressed quickly?”

“It is interesting you say that. You obviously believed it was safe.”

“Sasha, I wonder if I could ask you those two questions as well. First, what do you think is driving this increase? Would you agree with Ashton?”
