2 Apr 2025UK Democracy: Impact of Digital Platforms

I agree with the right hon. Member. I host a lot of community coffee mornings in my constituency, in which we discuss complex ideas, rather than three-word solutions to very complex problems. Social media is here to stay. The next thing we do must be to regulate it appropriately. It is our duty as Members of this House

2 Apr 2025UK Democracy: Impact of Digital Platforms

I thank the hon. Member for Lagan Valley (Sorcha Eastwood) for securing this debate; I know how important this matter is to her and to all of us. We are all representatives of our democracy, and it is crucial that we as a Government address the concerns about the impact of digital platforms on our democratic process. S

2 Apr 2025UK Democracy: Impact of Digital Platforms

Does my hon. Friend agree that there is a responsibility on all of us who are fortunate enough to be in this place to use our voices proportionately, carefully and with respect, because by using such platforms we have the power to inflame and antagonise, which can make situations worse?

2 Apr 2025 Access to Sport: PE in Schools

I completely agree. I will come on to discuss this issue further. Individuals who are inactive are three times as likely to face moderate to severe depression than their active counterparts, and we know that regular physical activity can reduce the risk of depression by up to 30%. The benefits are even more pronounced

2 Apr 2025 Access to Sport: PE in Schools

I beg to move, That this House has considered access to sport and PE in schools. First, I put on record my gratitude to the Backbench Business Committee for granting time for this debate in the Chamber. I called for this debate because I made a visit to Sir Graham Balfour school in my constituency, where I met one of m

2 Apr 2025Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)

I have a question for the Home Office. We have had quite a bit of evidence suggesting that a more centralised police approach to tackling harassment, abuse and intimidation could improve the consistency of the response. We have had evidence to suggest that MPs have received different responses, even just among the Comm

1 Apr 2025 Onshore Wind and Solar Generation

This legislation is crucial to achieving our net zero commitments. GE Vernova, a renewables company in Stafford, Eccleshall and the villages, struggled with really long waiting times for an expansion of its site, but it has recently been approved, which means good new jobs for people who live in my constituency. That e

31 Mar 2025 Relationship Education in Schools

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Jeremy, and I thank the hon. Member for Epsom and Ewell (Helen Maguire) for securing this debate on a subject that I know is very close to her heart. I do not need to declare an interest, but prior to being elected as an MP I worked with young women and girls in schoo

27 Mar 2025 Business of the House

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

27 Mar 2025St Patrick’s Day and Northern Irish Affairs

My neighbouring constituency has a small Irish community now, but for some time in the 19th century Stafford was a source of refuge to a number of Irish nationals who worked in the area. While some moved on, a significant number stayed and put down roots in Staffordshire. With that in mind, does my hon. Friend agree th

27 Mar 2025Prevention of Drug Deaths

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Murrison. I thank the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon) for securing this debate, as the prevention of drug-related deaths affects many in all our constituencies across the country. Drug misuse is a complex problem with many causes and impacts, but one thing

26 Mar 2025 Tobacco and Vapes Bill

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

20 Mar 2025 Business of the House

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

19 Mar 2025Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 586)

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?

19 Mar 2025Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 586)

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?

19 Mar 2025Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 586)

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?

17 Mar 2025 Domestic Abuse Offences

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

I am proud to share the Benches with all the hon. Members here. The advocacy that we have heard has been incredibly moving.

14 Mar 2025Free School Meals (Automatic Registration of Eligible Children) Bill

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.
