Speeches by Burton-Sampson.

“It has been really great to hear from you so far. I want to focus a little more on ethnicity and race, which you have alluded to already. It is obvious that there are disparities between different ethnic groups. Maybe you could go into a bit more detail on how social mobility differs between ethnic groups. What is it t…”

“From what you have said, it sounds as if this is not something that you can define by group, but you can define by groups within areas. What advice or what policies should be put in place to help lift those groups up?”

“My hon. Friend is giving a very interesting speech. In my constituency, Chalkwell station has been waiting an age for further Access for All works to take place, and they are now taking place. Both of my train lines are now in public ownership and working closely with Network Rail. Does he agree that that integration w…”

“Will the hon. Gentleman give way?”

“The hon. Gentleman is giving a great speech, and I agree with his points. With spy ships through the channel and submarines off the coast of Scotland, does he agree that it is vital for not only Ukraine but the rest of Europe that we work closely with the coalition of the willing throughout this conflict?”

“The stealing of Ukrainian children by Putin is scandalous and equally devastating for the Ukrainian families impacted. Putin shows no desire to agree a ceasefire in Ukraine, with continued bombardments on the Ukrainian people day in, day out. Does the Minister agree with me that, until Putin demonstrates that he is com…”

“At this time of year, the fireworks debate always rages. As a dog owner, I share my constituents’ view that we need legislation to make fireworks safer and more controlled, not just for the sake of animals, but for people too. I recently met the fireworks impact coalition, which is also calling for a review. Will the L…”

“Madam Deputy Speaker, you may or may not have noticed the unusual growth appearing between my nose and top lip. Yes, it is Movember, and for the first time I have had the opportunity to prove to everyone that I can grow facial hair—if that is what you can call it. My Mo is becoming the subject of much contention, with …”

“I agree with everything that my hon. Friend just said. Domestic abuse is abhorrent, and although it does mainly affect women, we cannot deny that it also affects men. We need to look into and address it. I was delighted to see the first ever men’s health strategy launched yesterday, starting to address head on the issu…”

“That is rather worrying. Our previous inquiry found a lack of shared decision making between patients and healthcare professionals, meaning patients were not getting the treatments they wanted or needed. How can we better empower women—particularly younger women, whom we have heard are often ignored or told just to go …”

“Nandi, I am interested in your views on this—women being involved in their treatment and care and being able to be part of that discussion—especially from a race perspective.”

“Emma, you said that to an extent you welcome the NICE guidance that girls aged 17 and under who have suspected or diagnosed endometriosis should be referred to a paediatric and adolescent gynaecology service or a specialist endometriosis service. Is this actually happening across the country, and do you have any good e…”

“I have a final question, Misbah. Local authorities seem to have handled this in different ways with some taking the flags down and some saying, “We have a policy of them remaining up.” What is the right way to handle this situation?”

“That is interesting. Sunder, I am interested in your views on that as well. Have you done any work around the impact assessment on how raise the flags has impacted local communities? I have seen a whole range of flags being simply put on lampposts to the extreme of people painting flags on buildings while abusing someb…”

“I want to talk more about Operation Raise the Colours. Thank you both, Misbah and Sunder, for your contributions. Peter, do you have any views on the national campaign to raise flags across the country?”

“Misbah, I must also declare I have done work with HOPE not hate in the past when I was a councillor and part of the Labour Party. Who do you think is driving this campaign, and to what extent do far-right groups and figures play a part?”

“Tanni, I know you have been quite involved in it. Tanni, what impact do you hope the new Women’s Sport Taskforce will have on participation in women’s sport?”

“Do you think the Women’s Sport taskforce is sufficient to replace the participation strategy, or do you think we need a separate participation strategy?”

“I am just sticking with you for a minute. The last Government put in place the Get Active participation strategy and the National Physical Activity taskforce, and obviously the current Government have discontinued that, they are not taking it forward. Are you concerned about that at all?”

“Fantastic. Great news, really good to hear. I am going to focus now on the new Women’s Sport Taskforce, which I know Baroness Grey-Thompson or—”
