Speeches by Ingham.

“Last weekend, in my constituency of Stafford, Eccleshall and the villages, I held a SEND forum for parents, carers, professionals and teachers. I heard a range of worrying and heartfelt stories, and emerging from all of them were real concerns about how Conservative-led Staffordshire county council communicates with th…”

“I rise today in support of this legislation. Young people vaping is not the biggest issue that comes up in surgeries, but it is one of the biggest issues that comes up when I walk through town or visit a school, and even when I talk to young people themselves. It is an urgent crisis—not just vaping, but smoking. There …”

“May I too extend my condolences to the shadow Leader of the House? His father sounds like a wonderful man. I recently visited Chase Recovery in my constituency. It is a community-based, peer-led rehabilitation programme, designed for those who experience substance misuse and are seeking a new abstinent life filled with…”

“That is due this year, isn’t it?”

“Thank you all very much for coming today. It is great to see those of you again that we saw recently. From my last visit to Belfast, you know I am particularly interested in Operation Kenova. What do you think are the lessons that this Government should draw from Operation Kenova?”

“Sandra, you mentioned that at the beginning of the process, when you first started doing Kenova, there was a huge lack of trust with the communities that were going through that process, but that turned around. Can you foresee that happening with ICRIR as it is?”

“ICRIR has said that it has its own robust governance structures in place. In your opinion, how do those structures compare to those offered from Kenova, particularly for the support around the family?”

“I thank the hon. Gentleman for securing a debate on this incredibly important issue. I am the MP for Stafford, Eccleshall and the villages, and Women’s Aid Staffordshire is based in my constituency. I have raised these statistics before, but we have seen a 361% increase in referrals to its sexual violence service in re…”

“Given the Prime Minister’s announcement yesterday, does the hon. Member welcome the announcement that the largest of those organisations is to be moved within ministerial and departmental oversight?”

“I completely agree. Gordon Brown was a wonderful Prime Minister. To conclude, the Bill represents a crucial step in our ongoing commitment to tackling child poverty. Ordered, That the debate be now adjourned.—(Christian Wakeford.) Debate to be resumed on Friday 11 July.”

“The Bill aims to make a meaningful and lasting difference to the lives of children across our country. We must come together to focus on the future of our young people, understanding that the way we invest in them today is how we shape our society of tomorrow. The Government have been clear in their commitment to addre…”

“This Bill is so important exactly because of what my hon. Friend has just said. It removes administrative barriers that get in the way, but that can frequently be overcome sensibly. Importantly, it still provides an opt-out for parents, which is important, because not everybody would want to take this up for their chil…”

“I am proud to share the Benches with all the hon. Members here. The advocacy that we have heard has been incredibly moving. My constituents Rosalind, Rob, Mark and Michelle asked me to speak today; they support the Bill, as do I. Patients with rare cancers face incredible challenges, including delayed diagnoses, limite…”

“That is a salient point. Before I became an MP, I worked with young people in youth work. Increasingly over the last few years, mental health issues that we normally saw in teenagers were affecting younger and younger children. One reason was younger and younger children having access to social media and not having the…”

“Last year, I met the parents of a young woman struggling with her mental health in my constituency. She was not in crisis, but she did need some additional support. Her school encouraged her parents to withdraw her because they could not provide the support, which her parents did because they did not know what else to …”

“On the point about independence, the chair has been announced as Phil Smith, the former CEO of Cisco. Surely that in itself is a sign of significant independence.”

“On the shadow Minister’s previous point, I spoke to businesses in my constituency of Stafford, Eccleshall and the villages, and one pointed out to me that 90 pieces of paperwork were required, with multiple contract stages, just to get, for example, a plumber apprentice to take part in any scheme. The college in my con…”

“It is estimated that there are around 2,000 young carers in Staffordshire, many of whom are hesitant to come forward for fear of disrupting their home lives. For those flying under the radar, it is even harder to get proper support. Does my hon. Friend agree that the Department for Education’s commitment to creating a …”

“I have a quick follow-up to all of you. On that perception of politicians as fair game, an article about me came out today in my constituency. Do you think that those targeted political ads that are put out with names and faces add to this culture of individuals being perceived as fair game?”

“It does. What lessons have been learned following last year’s general election? What can be done to mitigate the challenges for the next general election?”
