Speeches by Taylor.

“I will have a very quick stab. Probably the two or three main places that we have already touched on are the role of parents and the way we frame it towards parents, especially in the early years, be it parenting advice or a parenting course. All parents will say, “This is my kid, I know better”. Framing it around “her…”

“Can I ask for a bit of clarity? How does the police investigation impact questions of the line of succession? Are they not separate? One is a matter of principle; the other is entirely separate.”

“Of course it is, because they are not doing their job; they are not doing their day job.”

“I am probably not the expert on what the connection is. When thinking about the other correlations we see for reading for pleasure, there are a few that are of interest. They might not be causational but they do link with a range of things, particularly when we look at screen time in the early years. According to the W…”

“Go really hard on volunteering. If you can get a volunteering workforce who can come in and do the one-to-one relational, get their interests off them, particularly if you can buck the trend and try to find the same or more men, that would go a long way.”

“You mentioned very briefly the powers or the practice that you have to highlight both poor use and, in this case, positive use. Do you have sufficient powers, audience or visibility to jockey on the rest to see that best practice and to see where positive trust is being generated by those behaviours?”

“Just picking up a couple of things, Ed, you have given me one in your last sentence there. John, first of all, you talked about the independence of the Electoral Commission and the importance of that. If that is re-established and given much greater importance, is there an opportunity for the Electoral Commission to re…”

“Let us not get into the whole ONS conversation again, but thank you. You have answered the questions that I had.”

“Do you have any examples of good practice, where an organisation or a particular use of statistics has built trust? While we want to stop undermining trust with poor use of statistics, where have you seen that improved and done in a positive way?”

“We have talked about—you have used the quote already, because it is quite a good one—how statistics are the lifeblood of democratic debate, and the misuse of statistics results in an erosion of trust, not just in Government but also in all of politics. Do you have any examples of how that has been manifested in electio…”

“I hope this intervention adds to my hon. Friend’s point. Does she find it ironic that the only person who has been imprisoned as part of the Epstein scandal is a woman?”

“Ed, you mentioned at the end there the study that suggested that people do not feel like democratic institutions are serving their value. We are all watching the news, and the fact that we are being broadcast suggests that people might be screaming at their televisions and talking about the very obvious major cases tha…”

“T10. Children’s cancer services are due to move from the Royal Marsden to the Evelina hospital next year. Concerns have been raised with me about the provision of a teaching space for children undergoing cancer treatment and its provision in the new plans. Will the Minister meet with me to discuss that transition and c…”

“I completely agree with my hon. Friend. I thank the Minister for his early acknowledgment of support for the Humble Address. He has engaged constructively with comments about its scope and exactly what it says. I thank him for his supportive attitude, as there has been across the Chamber. To return to the point about n…”
