Speeches by Campbell.

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship today, Ms Butler. I begin by thanking the hon. Member for Yeovil (Adam Dance), my co-sponsor of the debate, for his continued support and tireless campaigning on the issue of dyslexia. I rise not only as the Member of Parliament for Broxtowe but also as chair of the all-pa…”

“I absolutely agree that the support that young people need is crucial, not just for their education but across and throughout their lives. The challenges that dyslexic people face should not be an inevitable part of being dyslexic. The British Dyslexia Association’s recent report “Set up for somebody else” was a dishea…”

“Claire founded Little Foxes Play Town in my constituency. It caters for and is enjoyed by children and parents in the community. However, Claire’s business has struggled with the cost of business rates and now with the requirement to pay VAT. Will the Minister assure me that the change in business rates will benefit sm…”

“As the chair of the all-party parliamentary group on dyslexia—an issue on which I have campaigned for many years—I remain alarmed at the high number of dyslexic people who still need to use mental health services. Will the Minister meet me to discuss how we can better serve dyslexic people in Broxtowe and across the UK…”

“I thank my hon. Friends the Members for Sherwood Forest (Michelle Welsh) and for Rossendale and Darwen (Andy MacNae) for securing the debate. It coincides with Baby Loss Awareness Week, a time when we pause to remember every baby who has been lost far too soon. The week provides us with a chance to take stock of this s…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Jeremy. I thank the Petitions Committee for securing the debate and my hon. Friend the Member for South Norfolk (Ben Goldsborough) for his opening remarks. I rise to speak in support of retaining the five-year pathway to indefinite leave to remain for BNO visa holders…”

“I absolutely agree that that will impact how we can employ people in our communities. A report by British Future found that only about half of BNO visa holders of working age are currently employed, and 47% of those working say that their current job status does not match their skills or qualifications. This creates ba…”

“Boots has been a significant employer in my constituency since 1927, and many of my constituents have been proud to work for it. However, those close to claiming their pensions have been advised that they will be unable to withdraw their pension at an unreduced rate at the age of 60, contrary to what they were led to b…”

“3. What steps she is taking to recruit new teachers.”

“I thank the Secretary of State for her response and for the Government’s commitment to recruiting 6,500 new teachers. However, as we know, dyslexic children tend to leave school or education with disproportionately lower attainment levels. They are also over-represented in the criminal justice system and often have low…”

“T8. I have received numerous emails from my constituents in Broxtowe, raising concerns about the loss of or threat to meadows. Meadows are critical to our environment and have been part of our natural heritage for centuries. They provide a wealth of benefits such as a unique wildlife habitat, flood alleviation and the …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Pritchard. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Sherwood Forest (Michelle Welsh) for securing this important debate. I welcome the Government’s efforts to make early years provision more accessible, and I am proud that they have taken the necessary steps to better …”

“I welcome the Government’s efforts to reform sentencing following the sentencing review. I am confident that those steps will end the chaos left behind by the previous Government. I am particularly interested in rehabilitation as a priority in sentencing. A troubling statistic remains: studies have shown that 30% of pr…”

“Dr Stephenson, can you tell us a little more about how you think our committee should measure the success of the EHRC and your potential term as chair?”

“Thank you. Mine is quite a small question. For me, the case for EDI has already been made. How would you go about promoting and strengthening EDI rather than allowing it to be rolled back and diluted, as is the threat?”

“Thank you. A couple of people have spoken about the vacancies on the board. It is noticeable that there have been periods of high turnover among the commissioners; indeed, there are currently unfilled vacancies on the board. Do you think that steps are necessary to make the role of EHRC commissioner more appealing and …”

“My follow-up question to that is: what steps do you intend to take to ensure an inclusive and collegiate approach on the board?”

“T6. The recent E5 meeting marked a significant step towards greater strategic autonomy in Europe, with the security of Ukraine being central to that. Does the Minister agree that, given the changing nature of the threats we face, working ever more closely with our NATO allies is crucial to keeping the UK secure and saf…”

“I thank the Minister for her efforts towards improving access to driving tests. However, in my constituency of Broxtowe, I continually get emails saying that people are struggling to book tests due to a shortage of examiners. Will she provide us with an update following the instruction made last year to the Driver and …”

“8. What steps she is taking to reduce the backlog for driving tests.”
