Speeches by Ellis.

“Finally, do you think that the recommendations around tribunals are sufficient, or is there anything else that you would like to see changed?”

“You have touched on this a bit, but what are the risks if we do not get the education right? You have highlighted some of the challenges, but what will the impact be in five or 10 years, once this all comes into play, if people are really struggling to understand and make use of that commonhold?”

“In terms of this Committee and our report, are there things that you feel the Government could do at a national level to help create a framework or something to make sure that that happens?”

“On Wednesday, I joined midwifery students protesting in Parliament Square. I spoke to Kelly McDermott, who is facing the reality that 31% of newly qualified midwives cannot find jobs, which the Royal College of Midwives puts down to poor workforce planning. Will the Leader of the House join me in commending the incredi…”

“I have a question about the cultural shift from leasehold to commonhold. Earlier, the RFA said that people potentially do not want to manage themselves; I think it is fair to argue, given a lot of the testimony we have heard today, that it is a fair cost to manage themselves if that means they can avoid some of the hor…”

“Do you envisage the market of managing agents changing? Do you think new types of company will open up, or do you think it will be the same agents as now, just managed by different people?”

“I want to ask about managing agents. Regardless of whether it is commonhold or leasehold, we are still going to have to manage with managing agents, and we as a Committee have already had some discussions about the fact that there is not much mention of managing agents in the Bill. To what extent do you think the succe…”

“I am Maya Ellis, the MP for Ribble Valley.”

“I welcome the universal approach of our new youth strategy, but in my Ribble Valley constituency, in which communities are small and often far away from city-centre youth hubs, young people miss out on support. Their family may be just about managing, but dual-career households and long hours leave little time to take …”

“11. What assessment she has made of the adequacy of universal youth services.”

“I recently visited the Lancaster University School of Mathematics, which is based in Preston on the edge of my constituency, a brilliant new place for 16 to 18-year-olds to take A-levels in maths and maths-based subjects. In a world where we desperately need more maths and technical skills, it was truly a joy to hear t…”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that parents of men and boys are navigating a truly wild west? Although it is brilliant that the Government are committed to helping teachers to spot and navigate misogyny in schools, the fact is that parents are the ones at the coalface, especially in the early years. Will my hon. Friend join…”

“Does the hon. Member agree that one of the things that has caused a lack of male role models is the lack of third spaces and youth centres? The disinvestment in youth services, which I think averaged about 70% per local authority under the previous Government, has led to a lot of the reduction in role models in the thi…”

“Two years ago, Butlers Farmhouse Cheeses in my constituency, which makes the famous Blacksticks Blue, suffered a devastating fire that destroyed all its storage facilities. The community rallied around the company, with local businesses and farms helping to erect temporary buildings and provide interim logistics. Follo…”

“It has been a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Jardine. This has been an important opportunity for us to reflect on what healthy, equal relationships look like in Britain today, the pressures that couples face and how policy can better support them. I am grateful to all hon. Members who contributed, and I pay…”

“It is great to hear that Jane and Mick have such a positive relationship. One of the things that I really value is debate. The fact that in our new schools framework, we are introducing oracy—the ability to debate and discuss well—is really important. It has always been possible to have healthy relationships. We must c…”

“I completely agree with my hon. Friend; she is right that both men and women want this. Everyone in society is demanding this, and I really hope that the Government will listen and take action. An even more critical point is that it is not just men and women but children who will benefit from this. Ten to Men found tha…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered Government support for healthy relationships. It is a pleasure to be under your chairship, Ms Jardine. May I start by wishing you a happy Valentine’s day for Saturday? “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in wan…”

“With the cancer plan, we have made great progress this week on how we plan to tackle terminal illnesses in this country. On Tuesday, I had the privilege of visiting my constituent Alfred Whalley, who is currently living with terminal pulmonary fibrosis. After serving 20 years as a paramedic, he wanted to share with me …”

“I greatly welcome the statement made today and the actions the Government have taken in response to the conflict in Sudan, including sanctions against individuals linked to the most horrendous atrocities and sexual violence. The situation in Sudan is a devastating reminder of how often sexual violence against women and…”
