Speeches by Ellis.

“You have cited some poor behaviours and management practices, and obviously there are still issues with the annual fees. There are recommendations from the university report in 2022, so it is fair to say that this issue is still live. Do you feel that the Government are taking these issues seriously enough, or is there…”

“You have made some positive suggestions. You mentioned that there are some positive site owners out there. In Ribble Valley we have quite a number of park homes, and I have met residents and site owners. Some owners have put representations to me, saying that certain sites have changed hands a number of times because i…”

“Sonia, can you tell us a little about your campaign and the key issues that you have been trying to raise?”

“Finally, what do you think the impact on the industry would be if that 10% was reduced or removed?”

“I am grateful to the hon. Member for the work we are doing together on the all-party parliamentary group for infant feeding and for her passion in this space. Breastfeeding is a full-time job. Only last week, Carrie Johnson, the wife of one of our former Prime Ministers, highlighted how easy it is to neglect your own n…”

“Will my hon. Friend give way?”

“May I first pay tribute to the Prime Minister and the Business Secretary, along with many others, for leading from the front on the importance of their role as fathers? I truly believe that paternity leave is the single most important area where the Government can improve the lives of families and women, too. I hope th…”

“Would you agree that, as much as we have to tackle some of the underlying racism, we also have to tackle the underlying frustration and rage that gets channelled into that violence?”

“Maya Ellis, Ribble Valley.”

“Thank you very much for coming in today. You will have heard some of the responses so far and I know that you have all done a lot of work and research in this space. As an opening question I would like to hear from you: how do you think we are doing when it comes to social cohesion in the UK? How are we performing?”

“I want to pick up on a point, Jabeer, that you raised that I found interesting around male violence and the role of that in these riots. I do not expect a scientific answer to this question, but I want to get a sense of what proportion you feel was the male violence as opposed to racism. Do you think it is 50:50 in ter…”

“I am Maya Ellis. I am the Labour MP for Ribble Valley in Lancashire.”

“Do you think racism is a starting point and then there is male violence that drives that? I am interested because you described, Carrie, earlier about the frustration and I wondered to what extent we feel that there is that frustration and rage and it could channel through any route. It could be racism, but it could be…”

“I am interested in how you think we are doing and performing, as it stands at the moment, in terms of community cohesion in the UK.”

“Sara Khan, to you: I suspect that we will have a theme that there has been lots of reports and lots of things that have been recommended and not happened. I know that you did one last year, so I am interested to see what you think has come out of that, if anything. But if we are not moving on, what do you think the blo…”

“We heard in the previous panel that a lot of this is based on an underbed of inequality. If we put some of the points you said there to the Secretary of State, I can imagine some of the pushback would be that their focus initially is on tackling those deep inequalities—investing in social and affordable housing, invest…”

“Ted, how are we doing?”

“Yesterday, we welcomed an ambitious and much-needed industrial strategy, which will rely on bold trade deals with countries around the world. Britain has a strong tradition of promoting human rights in its work around the world. How is the FCDO ensuring that we uphold our commitment to rights for girls and women as we …”

“5. What steps his Department is taking to protect the rights of women and girls globally.”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Southampton Itchen (Darren Paffey) for bringing forward this critical debate. We think a lot about water safety in the Ribble Valley constituency; indeed, the River Ribble is in its name. In the River Ribble catchment, which covers my constituency and some lovely neighbouring const…”
