Speeches by Jardine.

“I remind Members to bob if they wish to be called in a debate. To get in all the speakers we have, please try to limit yourselves to three minutes. I call Peter Bedford—he is not here. Jim Shannon, please.”

“Order. Given the number of speakers, we will now have to move to two minutes per speech, unfortunately.”

“Order. We are out of time. I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson, Max Wilkinson.”

“I call the Opposition spokesperson, Rebecca Paul.”

“I am sure we all welcome the move to reduce waiting lists and recognise that the women’s health strategy is a 10-year plan. But given the enormous problems highlighted by the hon. Member for Luton North (Sarah Owen) and my hon. Friend the Member for Winchester (Dr Chambers), does the Minister appreciate that, to many w…”

“Order. I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in the debate. I ask them to limit their speeches to around four minutes.”

“Order. I remind the hon. Member that we have less than two minutes before we have to move on to the Front-Bench spokespeople.”

“Order. I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in the debate. Please limit your remarks to five or six minutes.”

“I am sure that the Chief Secretary will correct me if I am wrong, but the only three words about Scotland in his statement are “Glasgow city region”. They are welcome, but does he appreciate that while the Scottish Government may have received its biggest settlement, every UK Government statement that has come out of t…”

“Would the hon. Member for Rossendale and Darwen (Andy MacNae) like to make some remarks? We will then move on to the Front Bench at eight minutes past.”

“Before I call the Minister, I ask him to ensure that we have two minutes at the end for the right hon. Member for East Hampshire (Damian Hinds) to wind up.”

“The Minister has made a great deal of the position of my party on Heathrow airport. As he is such a fan of our Focus leaflets, I am sure he will know from my own that I have consistently raised airport noise, opposition to the expansion of Heathrow, sustainable aviation fuel and airspace management in this place. How w…”

“First, thank you to all four of you for coming and speaking to us today and being so open about the challenges that you face. Lucy, the Musicians’ Union and others have described a lack of facilities and structural support for women working and performing at live music events. Is that something you recognise? If so, is…”

“As a journalist, I remember interviewing a very well-known popular music artist in a theatre and being absolutely astonished at the lack of facilities and how bad the facilities were there. Is this lack of facilities and structural support for women something you have all experienced in your careers?”

“I wonder if I could also ask Laura first. To what extent do you think the working conditions that we have been talking about for female artists are a factor in their lower representation in live music event lineups?”

“That is very interesting.”

“Not at all. Deborah, what does the latest key data on the prevalence of discrimination and sexual harassment in the music sector tell you, and are there any signs of the situation improving?”

“Thank you. Naomi, is there anything you want to add to that?”

“Just to follow up on that, you have previously found that 48% of those who suffered inappropriate behaviour did not report it; there was no one to report to. Are you confident that the creation of CIISA will be a game changer in that regard?”

“Deborah, you said you thought the only answer was to sue. Does that mean that you feel there needs to be more than CIISA, or do you think CIISA can be a game changer?”
