Speeches by Furniss.

“More than a quarter of a million pensioners received compensation from the Pension Protection Fund and the financial assistance scheme, but those who accrued their income before 1997 have suffered a real-terms cut of 24% in the past five years alone. I welcome the Chancellor’s commitment to provide indexation on these …”

“I have to say that I could not hear him say that, mainly because everyone else was making so much noise, like now. [Interruption.] I did not hear him say that.”

“Please sit down.”

“Order. The Minister has every right to speak, just as everyone else has had the right to speak. He does not have to take interventions.”

“What precisely was the decision of the PHSO that you challenged in your claim?”

“You have answered quite well one of the questions that I was going to ask, but I want to probe a bit about 4 July, when you wrote to the Speaker’s Counsel that you believed that “Parliament would be assisted with a court’s judgment on the subject.” How would Parliament have been assisted if the PCA decision had been qu…”

“Thank you for attending today; it has been interesting. In your letter of 9 September to the administrative court office, you took the position that the Charity Commission’s proceedings are now academic. Why, in your view, would that be so?”

“Thank you for attending today. The courts have considered previous actions taken by the PHSO, or the PCA, to be amenable to judicial review. Why might the Charity Commission’s legal action in this case be considered a breach of privilege?”

“I call Ben Maguire. I ask you to be quite swift, because we understand there may be Divisions sooner than we expected.”

“Order. I call Munira Wilson.”

“I am keen to bring this debate to a conclusion before the first of many expected Divisions is called, with all participants having had a satisfactory opportunity to contribute to it. Mr Garnier and the Front Benchers have graciously agreed to watch the clock, curtail their remarks and be very succinct. I ask all of you…”

“I call the Minister to respond to the debate—very briefly.”

“There will be a limit of four and a half minutes for each speech. I call Sarah Hall.”

“Endometriosis care is in urgent need of reform. I have lost track of the number of young women who have contacted me to share their horror stories, some of whom have waited more than a decade to receive a diagnosis. The system is failing them. I welcome the Government’s commitment to update the women’s health strategy,…”

“T1. If she will make a statement on her departmental responsibilities.”

“Earlier this year, I chaired a roundtable with the all-party parliamentary group on debt and financial inclusion that highlighted our five key asks. Nearly 70% of adults in my constituency are considered to be in financially vulnerable circumstances—among the highest proportions in the city. What steps does the Ministe…”

“12. What recent progress she has made on the development of a financial inclusion strategy.”

“My neighbours and members of my community were opening their doors to people and giving them cups of tea, because they were clearly in shock, and also letting them use their telephones to tell their loved ones that they had survived. At that time, I was about nine and a half months pregnant. My daughter was born on 1 M…”

“It has been a massive privilege to have all the families appearing with us today. Without their presence, this law would not be being passed. Let me also thank my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool West Derby (Ian Byrne), my right hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool Garston (Maria Eagle), and all the Liverpudlian Me…”

“I recently had the pleasure of meeting the Sheffield Young Carers action group and some of the wonderful people who it supports. I was a young carer myself and know the deep impact that that can have on a young life. During our meeting, the children told me about their mental health struggles as a result of their respo…”
