Speeches by Asato.

“Finally, you have already said that subjects with the highest numbers will not be able to be taken on-screen, but what is the likelihood of this changing in the future, given that it is a market?”

“I have two more questions. One is around students with SEND who clearly, as we have heard, would benefit from having on-screen assessments; obviously that would be hugely welcome. But we also know that there is quite a lot of evidence that, for some students, handwriting helps them both to retain and interrogate inform…”

“Having campaigned for a ban on nudification apps, I hugely welcome the Secretary of State’s announcement today. We have all seen how AI has been used to humiliate and sexualise women, with bullet holes, blood, gagging, bruising, and even the horror of a Jewish woman being stripped of her clothes and placed at Auschwitz…”

“A happy new year to you and your staff, Mr Speaker. Like many Members across this House, I receive regular alerts from the Environment Agency warning of potential flooding in my constituency. Every time the phone rings, I get the feeling of dread that this will be the time when my town floods. Every time the alert is d…”

“I would like to make the House aware of my appointment as the VAWG adviser to the Secretary of State for Health, and it is the commitments made by the Department of Health and Social Care in this transformative strategy that I wish to raise. Will the Minister confirm that the roll-out of the Child House model represent…”

“On the final day of the UN’s 16 days of activism against gender-based violence, I present a petition on behalf of my Lowestoft constituents on the pornography industry and the serious and long-lasting impact it is having on our society, not least in fuelling violence against women and girls. Pornography that depicts pe…”

“While for more junior staff, pay has increased in line with national minimum wages, our evidence suggests that more senior staff are not getting appropriate uplifts. What is the impact of this and what is the solution?”

“Any other barriers?”

“Do you agree that there should be formal structures for agreeing nationally recognised roles, pay and qualifications for the early years, as are in place for teaching and support staff in schools? It sounds like there is a pretty common agreement to that, but what barriers would there be to achieving it?”

“If we agree, what might the barriers be?”

“So the solution is that the Government need to increase the funding?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Jardine. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Isle of Wight West (Mr Quigley) on securing this important debate. Domestic abuse does not just claim adult lives; it devastates children. Lybah, a child survivor of domestic abuse and a SafeLives changemaker, said:…”

“Earlier this year, I met representatives of Historic England, local historians and community representatives to address the neglect of the grade 2 listed Crown hotel in my constituency. Once a cornerstone of the community and a place where countless memories were made, it is now crumbling, and bringing the rest of our …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Stringer. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Poplar and Limehouse (Apsana Begum) on securing the debate. I am honoured to work with her on the all-party parliamentary group on domestic violence and abuse. I also want to pay tribute to the Minister. Her det…”

“I thank the Backbench Business Committee and the hon. Member for Cheadle (Mr Morrison) for bringing forward the debate. It is certainly long overdue. I also thank former police officer Tom Curry, who was injured in the line of duty and whose campaign with other injured emergency service workers has brought us here toda…”

“In evidence, the Education Policy Institute refers to the turnover of staff in group-based providers being twice as high—16%—as in school-based providers. Is that explained by pay differentials, or are there other factors?”

“Thank you. Professor Lloyd, you state in your evidence that pay in the early years workforce was 14% lower in medium to large profit-making childcare groups than in non-profit-making groups. Do we have explanations for that? How much do we know about the variation in pay within profit-making providers?”

“What is the unique contribution of childminders to the early years landscape, and what should the Government be doing to address the 50% decline in childminders over the last decade?”

“We have heard evidence from Triple P that the Department of Health is lagging behind the Department for Education in terms of its preparation for Best Start family hubs. What is your assessment for the effectiveness of cross-Government working in that area?”

“How confident are you that Best Start family hubs will take what worked from the Sure Start programme and provide what families genuinely need?”
