28 Mar 2025Looked After Children (Distance Placements) Bill

Does my hon. Friend agree that the register of children that is being introduced through the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill is a start to what he is advocating? Knowing exactly where children are at any given point would be a healthy start for us.

28 Mar 2025Water Bill

I am aware of the special arrangements that have historically been provided for many of our formerly nationalised utility organisations, but the clue is in the term “special”. Public ownership should not be the go-to; it is done only under extraordinary circumstances. The hon. Lady and I do not agree on that. I want to

28 Mar 2025Water Bill

I would not suggest that either the right hon. Gentleman or I should be in charge of the water in my constituency. We need severe and automatic fines for illegal sewage discharges. There has been real-time monitoring by campaigners, as well as formal observations—I have referred to yesterday’s updates. We need criminal

27 Mar 2025 Hughes Report: First Anniversary

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Furniss. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Washington and Gateshead South (Mrs Hodgson) on securing this important debate. My remarks will principally focus on mesh and the experience of my constituent Bev, but it is disappointing that the issue of sodium

25 Mar 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-25)

Was your assessment of that strategy that there was enough cross-departmental emphasis, and did you have interaction or sight of the ones you have listed?

25 Mar 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-25)

On the point about the underserved and using capacity that is dormant but not used, is a lot of that the challenge of the school, and the requirement for a critical mass of interest from outside school to justify opening hours, to justify the cost? Do some of the costs that you cover include the man hours required to o

25 Mar 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-25)

Good morning, and thank you for coming in. Moving on to sport strategy and understanding what a new strategy might contain, the new Government have not yet confirmed whether they intend to continue with the Get Active sports strategy brought in by the last Government. In assessing that, what was effective in the strate

Do you know the cost to drive that final list of outcomes? Is it a net growth outcome as a result, or does it cost as much to achieve?

It clearly speaks to the cross-departmental point that Sarah was making. Andy?

25 Mar 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-25)

On the Government’s strategy for harder-to-reach communities and the inequality argument, what interventions have proven most successful in this strategy, or in your view before this one?

25 Mar 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-25)

Can we learn from the legacy of things like parkrun? Is it to let things spring out of nothing, from a distance? A lot of hard work will have gone into it. What can we learn from those more community-based or entrepreneur-based activities that have completely taken over, and brilliantly so? And yet, you could see a sce

I am about to do my first HYROX competition, so it is nice to get a shoutout for HYROX.

Stephanie, you mentioned a powerful statistic that I did not manage to write down, so I will invite you to say it again—it was about the perception among boys of a certain age of the capabilities of girls and women to lead. Has there been any research into that? Is that a covid thing? Is it the explosion of smartphones

25 Mar 2025Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-25)

This goes not only to your point about girls arriving and needing to be skilled up and separated. I agree with Damian that that would be counterintuitive to some experiences and would possibly even upset parents and children if they were divided up straight away into girls and boys, notwithstanding—and I get the point—
