Speeches by Entwistle.

“Thank you both for your contributions so far. What assessment have you made of the impact that the Supreme Court ruling and your subsequent guidance will have on all communities, including disabled people?”

“The process has started but is very much ongoing?”

“How has the EHRC ensured that it engages with a wide range of stakeholders? Have you had any proactive engagement with certain groups? Do you think that your consultation is fully accessible?”

“How feasible is it to stop somebody using a specific toilet?”

“Every day I wake to news of further atrocities in Gaza, and every week constituents come to ask me to put more pressure on our Government to go further and faster. While I welcome the news of sanctions and I commend the Minister for his hard work, surely this is just the beginning; as he said, the gravity of the situat…”

“I declare an interest, as a member of the Women and Equalities Committee. Today marks a defining moment—a moment when we finally put victims at the heart of our justice system. For countless people in Bolton, that moment is long overdue. I am proud to support the Bill: proud because it empowers judges to compel offende…”

“In addition to the regulators you have mentioned, do you think there needs to be updated and regular advice and guidance for medical practitioners?”

“Thank you. Professor Coleman, you touched on this earlier; do you think there has been adequate research into the safety of breast implants? If not, in what areas is research needed?”

“I will direct my final question to Professor Nanayakkara. What would be your advice to women considering getting breast implants?”

“Yes please; that would be great.”

“Professor Coleman, did you want to add anything?”

“That is quite a stark picture. You mentioned earlier that you have some experience of being a GP, is that right?”

“So do you think GPs in the UK typically have sufficient awareness and understanding of BII and BIA-ALCL to believe women when they present with relevant symptoms? What do you think could be done to better educate medical practitioners on these health conditions?”

“My first question is for Professor Heneghan. To what extent are patients adequately warned of the health risks of breast implants prior to getting them?”

“That is not going to happen.”

“Ashton, you and I met last year, and you told me about a constituent. For the purpose of the Committee, I will just tell the story a little. Louise Moller experienced significant trauma following a botched liquid BBL procedure at a non-surgical clinic. She travelled from Bolton to Chelmsford in Essex for the procedure.…”

“I have one final question. Ashton, you used the word, “perpetrators” earlier. I wanted to ask you all, do you see this as another form of exploitation of women?”

“Thank you so much for sharing your story earlier.”

“5. If he will make an assessment of the potential merits of allocating 10% of humanitarian aid to educational programmes.”

“According to the Education and Development Forum, planned cuts to the official development assistance budget could slash UK aid for education by more than 70% by 2027 compared with 2019 levels. In Gaza, where 95% of schools are damaged and 650,000 children go without formal education, UK-backed programmes will be vital…”
