Speeches by Davies.

“2. What progress her Department has made on improving the police response to domestic abuse.”

“One in five people experience domestic violence in their lifetime—around one in four women, and one in six or seven men—but it is thought that only 20% of it is reported. It is also thought that there is significant under-reporting of the domestic violence experienced by men, due to social stigma. What steps is the Dep…”

“The Minister was right when she said that climate change drives nature loss, and nature loss drives climate change. We are seeing the effects of that on people’s health, the economy and global security, so I welcome the work that the Government are doing to address that. There has been a national security assessment on…”

“Sticking with cross-Government working in respect of climate change and national security, we note that a climate security taskforce was stood up a few weeks ago with a range of experts, including General Nugee, on it. It is co-chaired by Ministers from DESNZ and the Home Office, but we note that DEFRA is not part of i…”

“Given that we know that things like the loss of pollinators threaten food security and that that can be a driver of conflict, especially as climate change becomes more of a challenge, do you not think that DEFRA should have been part of the chairing group or represented more prominently?”

“The hon. Lady called out the record of the previous Government, and she was right to do so. However, I remember that in 2012 youth unemployment stood at 22%, 4% higher than it is now. Of course, her party was in government at that time. I am keen to work collaboratively, but it is worth just noting that.”

“The warm home discount is a great initiative to help households cut their bills, but one thing we could expand to do more in this space is our heat network programme, and we may be getting a heat network in Derby. However, there is often a lack of awareness, particularly in some public sector organisations and business…”

“I am grateful to His Majesty’s Opposition for calling this debate today, as it gives me an opportunity to talk about a survey of young people that I did last year. It was a broad survey and statistically significant, with more than 500 young people in Mid Derbyshire engaging on their work and education opportunities an…”

“This is a very important debate, which is why I signed this application. I think we need to be particularly mindful of the DNACPR issue, especially in respect of legislation that we may be considering in September. Toby, do you have a particular timeframe for when you would like this debate to take place, or are you co…”

“You state in your application that NHS England committed to providing 24/7 access to thrombectomy by April 2026. Obviously, we have now passed that date. Is there a particular timeframe that you are working to?”

“I really hope that it is a success. I know that in Cornwall—my hon. Friend’s part of the world—there will be a great many businesses and visitors benefiting from the scheme. Alan Milburn’s report, which highlighted that a million young people are out of work, is something that I am struggling to comprehend. It is a mor…”

“I spent most of the hon. Gentleman’s intervention trying to find out what is going on in Clacton, but perhaps the Minister heard what he said and will furnish him with a response in his summing up. The Government are doing a great many good things to support young people. There is more to do, but I will touch on some o…”

“I thank the hon. Member for her intervention. My focus is on the people of Mid Derbyshire, but I am sure that the people of Clacton will hold their representative to account in the appropriate way. Of the young people who responded to my survey, 44% said that the cost of living was the biggest issue they faced, followe…”

“Do you think firmer regulation and more clarity around regulation might help? At the moment, there is DSIT, but there is not necessarily a regulator for data centres.”

“Do you see much commitment from the sector? Is this embedded in their thinking?”

“Thank you. Dr Gallego-Schmid, do you think our approach to managing the environmental impacts of data centres is too heavily reliant on these emerging technologies that we may not fully understand or appreciate yet? Are we overstating the benefits of some of these technologies?”

“What are the barriers to scaling up those new and emerging technologies to mitigate the environmental impact?”

“I am mindful of time; I think there may be something on at 5 o’clock that has some people’s interest.”

“I have a very dry meeting at 5 o’clock, so I will be missing the first—anyway. Mr Busette, you have touched on some of the technologies that can be used to reduce the environmental impact of data centres, whether that is in terms of the energy they use, the water they use or the heat they generate. Setting heat network…”

“If I might ask you one more question—and if any of the other panellists have views on this I would be interested to hear them—I think I am right in saying that instructing an AI system to find some quite basic information uses 10 times more energy than a regular Google search. In other aspects of life we talk about mod…”
