Speeches by Entwistle.

“Are you saying that it depends on where you are in terms of the hierarchy within the industry?”

“My next question is for Celeste. In your experience, to what extent does the way in which the music industry works allow powerful men to pressure women not to speak out about their bad behaviour? Is it something that you are aware of? I might know the answer to that. If so, how does it happen?”

“What commitments have the Government made to address some of those legal impediments?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Western. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Washington and Gateshead South (Mrs Hodgson) on securing this important debate. We come together today with a shared purpose to champion equity, opportunity and the unshakeable belief that every child deserves the b…”

“I associate myself with the remarks of the Leader of the House about welcoming a long-overdue ceasefire. My constituent Dr Ryann Sowden has been working tirelessly to support survivors of that crisis. I commend the Bolton Council of Mosques for its unwavering advocacy of peace. The House should reflect that determinati…”

“Did anybody else have anything to add on that?”

“Just one final point, and can I just say thank you to you all, and Irene, for sharing your experiences and your data? It is really, really valuable. I attended an event last year for an organisation called the Women’s Faith Forum, and at that event a colleague shared how some Sikh girls felt a bit too afraid to go into…”

“Absolutely. The next question from me is around the variety of bans that we have been seeing across Europe and other nations, around things like face coverings, for example. Do we know what effect this has had on women in those countries, and have bans on forms of dress in other countries affected how Muslim women feel…”

“There are a couple of things I wanted to touch on. First, although it is not Islamophobia as such, is there evidence in your experiences of Muslim women being harassed from within their own communities, for example, by not conforming to community norms?”

“We have mentioned self-censoring; are there any other impacts that gendered Islamophobia has on women and girls?”

“We have touched on this already, but from your perspectives, to what extent is the visibility of Muslim women a factor in their targeting?”

“In relation to the stats you shared around reporting, I just wanted to know if, from your research, you found a correlation between the representation of the local police force and the rates of women coming forward to report? Is there a link that we could use?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Furniss. I thank my hon. Friend the hon. Member for Dudley (Sonia Kumar) for tabling such an important debate on a topic that affects us all in so many different ways in daily life. I declare an interest as a member of the Women and Equalities Committee and I want to t…”

“Q5. I associate myself with the Prime Minister’s remarks and wish everyone a very happy Christmas, but for many of those in temporary accommodation in my constituency and across the country it will not be a happy Christmas. On the Tories’ watch, temporary homelessness more than doubled, so what are the Government doing…”

“So I presume the more important argument would be the emphasis on the retention of non-digital services?”

“You have all touched on this already, but how important is the retention of non-digital services in tackling loneliness and social isolation for older people?”

“In your experience, how much of a difference would it make if there was better provisional broadband connectivity? Would that enable more people to get online?”

“A short answer is absolutely fine.”

“My next question is probably more so for Carole first, and Caroline, you have touched on this already in terms of the “Get Britain Working” White Paper. Are the measures set out in it sufficient to help a substantial number of older people back into work?”

“My questions follow on from that flexible working aspect, so thank you for touching on that. In your opinion, how effective are the flexible working provisions in the Employment Rights Bill for older workers?”
