20 May 2026Child Protection Online

Too often, children are exposed to harmful content online, with material promoting pornography and self-harm pushed towards them. Childhood should not be handed over to algorithms. As a mum, I know that parents are terrified that social media companies are putting profit before protection. Does the Secretary of State a

28 Apr 2026Park Home Owners

It is a privilege to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Alec. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Rushcliffe (James Naish) on securing this important debate. In my constituency, there are a number of park home sites, including in Rainworth, Calverton and Ollerton, and those sites often provide an affordable an

15 Apr 2026Cost of Heating Oil

I thank the hon. Member for North Norfolk (Steff Aquarone) for securing today’s debate. Nearly 1,000 people across my constituency of Sherwood Forest rely solely on heating oil to heat their homes and provide hot water. The sharp increase in prices is having a particularly severe impact on rural communities—as we have

14 Apr 2026Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 899)

Thank you. It is just to get some clarity because I know I am going to walk out of here and I am going to get some questions with regard to this. You did mention the NHS. When you are talking about advising a code of conduct, will that be on individual authorities within an authority or is that overarching? For example

14 Apr 2026Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 899)

There is some monitoring that is required with regards to how, for example, the NHS brings that down to their individual choice and how the police—

14 Apr 2026Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 899)

That is quite refreshing to hear, as somebody who has been heavily involved in maternity inquiries where all those trusts have a code of conduct but, when you link it into HR, that is not always what has taken place. So I do welcome that and I will watch that work with interest. The Public Office (Accountability) Bill

14 Apr 2026Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 899)

You have a responsibility to advise public authorities on the development and oversight of clear codes of ethical conduct. Given the wide range of public authorities, how do you intend to discharge this responsibility?

14 Apr 2026Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 899)

Thank you. You are tasked with developing these codes, but what role do you think the EIC should have in monitoring the effectiveness of codes and how could this be best achieved, given the huge job getting there in the first place?

13 Apr 2026Statutory Menstrual Leave

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Mundell. I am pleased to take part in this debate and to stand with the 149 women in Sherwood Forest and the 109,000 people in total who signed this petition. Painful periods are often dismissed as something that women should simply put up with—an inconvenience that

24 Mar 2026Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir John. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Rossendale and Darwen (Andy MacNae) for securing this important debate. There can be no greater devastation than the death of a child, but for many families the pain is made even more unbearable by one word: unexplained.

23 Mar 2026Child Exploitation

In the UK, a child is reported missing every three minutes. These children are often the most vulnerable in society, as going missing can be a key warning sign of exploitation. Despite the clear connection, the term “child criminal exploitation” is not included in the Department for Education’s 2014 statutory guidance

23 Mar 2026Topical Questions

T5. What urgent steps is the Minister taking to tackle antisocial behaviour in town centres such as Hucknall’s? We have had persistent disorder there, including a recent racist attack on a shop owner. This is impacting on community safety and confidence, and residents expect a visible police presence.

18 Mar 2026Royal Mail: Performance

As the proud daughter of a postie, I draw the House’s attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. The performance of Royal Mail in parts of Sherwood Forest has been poor. Constituents in Clipstone have had no reliable postal service for over five months. At first, the Mansfield sorting office

16 Mar 2026 GP Contract

I recently met people from Byron Primary Care Network, who were clear about the pressures facing primary care. How will reforming GP contracts ensure that communities in my constituency with a growing population can better access GP services? We have been waiting over 14 years for a GP practice in Hucknall.
