Speeches by Taylor.

“The hon. Gentleman mentioned the number of Liberal Democrats in this place; I think that we were a very effective method of de-fossilisation on 4 July. On the point about synthetic fuels, does he agree that the measures in the Bill, particularly the ones to encourage sustainable aviation fuels and alternatives for inte…”

“Q2. The Prime Minister recently visited Epsom hospital, where he committed to not just papering over the cracks in the NHS after years of Conservative lies. However, on Monday, his Government confirmed that St Helier hospital will be allowed to develop further wounds, and that the hospital will crumble. St Helier will …”

“I will link that into the discussions we had last week on overseas voters and the lack of the system that is used in other countries where an individual is able to walk into the embassy and have their specific ballot printed off because the systems are integrated. They are able to get the right paper for them and they …”

“I want to explore that issue in a little more detail, because I am sure that on this occasion it was not just affecting Scottish voters, and there may well be similar issues at local elections that are coming up. Was the delay at the Nottingham printers due to a machinery failure or was it due to challenges with data f…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship for the first time, Sir John. I thank the hon. Member for West Bromwich (Sarah Coombes) for securing this important debate and for her passionate speech. It has been deeply moving to hear from Members across the House about the horrific experiences their constituents have …”

“We saw what was successful. It would be interesting to see what was unsuccessful but had attempted to vote.”

“Do you record how many are returned after?”

“Quite, but would you see there being an opportunity for people who are already civil service staff, diplomats and ambassadors, being appointed as returning officers and able to preside over tabulation: “One vote in this constituency for this candidate and three for this guy, so we can communicate that to the relevant r…”

“My hon. Friend speaks about precisely the jobs that the Bill would generate. I declare an interest in that between speeches I have been emailing to arrange the installation of a solar array on my home in the next couple of weeks. Although I will not benefit from the reduction in the cost of installation and of the pane…”

“I may only speculate what it was that attracted my hon. Friend to discuss a Bill regarding the promotion of shiny surfaces atop well-built structures—we can only guess. Does he agree that as this Bill moves forward, it is absolutely essential that the Government work across parties to build a consensus, including all t…”

“I begin by thanking my hon. Friend the Member for Wimbledon (Mr Kohler) for bringing forward this incredibly important debate. Anyone who has been paying attention to my contributions in this place will not be surprised that I am once again expressing my deepest possible concerns about St Raphael’s hospice in my consti…”

“On the point about the postcode lottery—an oft-used cliché by politicians—I have heard from Hospice UK that, on one occasion, a single gift from a legacy covered the running costs for a hospice in the UK for five years. Does my hon. Friend agree that that is one of the starkest and most extreme illustrations of how the…”

“At a recent constituency surgery, the lack of care and oversight of dating apps towards their women users was mentioned. Does the hon. Member agree that dating apps, and the operators that profit from them, should be held to account for protecting the women and men who use them, in the same way that social media compan…”

“I congratulate the hon. Member for Birmingham Yardley (Jess Phillips) on all the work she has done over the years standing up for women and girls and fighting violence against them. Violence against women and girls by men is a societal epidemic, and it is right that we in this place and the Government treat it as such.…”

“That seems self-evident. It does not seem to have been taken into that much account when implementing this incredibly dramatic policy.”

“I finish my questions by asking whether the fundamental principle of voter ID is being evaluated. If it is a system that cannot work without other changes, such as a national ID card, which obviously is not on the agenda, is the principle of it being evaluated, as well as how to make, in my opinion, a bad system work?”

“Sorry, they arrived at a polling station and then didn’t return. That was 0.8%, you said.”

“Thank you. I am quite keen on evidence-based policy. The implementation of voter ID was suggested to be introduced to tackle electoral fraud, and in particular personation. From the figures that we have seen in various reports, it was suggested that in 2019, after which the previous Government brought in the voter ID r…”

“That is helpful because it informs the first question that needs to be fixed before we can do other things better. Thank you.”

“Hongkonger residents I represent in Sutton and Cheam are regularly in touch with me to outline their fears and uncertainty, living under the threat of the transnational repression operated by China. The news that China is now issuing arrest warrants and bounties for the identification of pro-democracy campaigners in th…”
