| 14 Jul 2026 | Public Office (Accountability) Bill “My hon. Friend is making an incredibly emotional speech. I know, from the Nottingham maternity review, the harm and hurt that is caused when people with knowledge and involvement in institutional failures are allowed to dodge accountability and scrutiny. Does she agree that it is therefore vital there is no exemption f…” crimedefenceculture-community | 101 |
| 14 Jul 2026 | Public Office (Accountability) Bill “Will the Minister give way?” crimedefenceculture-community | 5 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Immigration and Asylum Bill “It is great to hear my right hon. Friend supporting schemes like Homes for Ukraine. The reason we do not see Ukrainians crossing the channel on small boats is because, rightly, we have a safe and legal route. Why not expand those safe and legal routes to places like Sudan and Eritrea, because obviously if an asylum cla…” immigrationcrimecost-of-living | 83 |
| 13 Jul 2026 | Immigration and Asylum Bill “There is little evidence that the Bill will do what it claims and fix the most serious issues in our asylum system. In fact, experts say that it will divert focus and resources to a system that is unfair, unsafe and unworkable. There are many problems in the Bill, but for the sake of time I will focus on the independen…” immigrationcrimecost-of-living | 338 |
| 9 Jul 2026 | Timms Review: Interim Report “The interim report rightly recognises what disabled people have long been saying, which is that PIP is a broken system. What assurances can the Minister give that the recommendations of the final report will be grounded in disabled people’s right to social security, right to independent living and right to participate …” social-careeconomy-jobshealth | 74 |
| 9 Jul 2026 | Israeli Settlements: Trade Ban “The continued expansion of illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied west bank and East Jerusalem is having a profound impact on Palestinian communities, where military violence and attacks by extremist idealogues are spiralling. Poverty is pervasive and economic development is almost non-existent thanks to Israel’s …” economy-jobsdefenceother | 433 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 176) “Alice, in your experience how accessible are practitioner roles for women in men’s sports? To what extent do you think working in women’s sport is seen as a stepping stone to men’s sport? What can be done so that women’s sport can recruit and retain highly-skilled practitioners?” | 47 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 176) “Leanne, what you just said leads on nicely to the next question. What are the key factors affecting the retention and progression of women in sports science, coaching and performance roles?” | 31 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 176) “That is really comprehensive and incredibly grim. On the workers’ rights side of things, what you have said really tallies with what we have heard in other evidence sessions about the work being insecure, low paid, and often irregular. People are often self-employed or even in voluntary roles. Are sports governing bodi…” | 64 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 176) “It is really stark.” | 4 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 176) “It is really heartening because it was not really an option when I was a kid in the noughties and the 2010s. I was not particularly sporty but I think that was because we did not have the opportunities. Does anyone want to add anything?” | 45 |
| 8 Jul 2026 | Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 176) “I am speechless; that is utterly disgraceful. Does anyone have anything else to add?” | 14 |
| 7 Jul 2026 | Human Rights in Kashmir “I have been contacted in recent weeks by many constituents who are desperately worried for their loved ones in Kashmir, and who are struggling to reach them because of the communications blockade. Does the Minister agree that such communication shutdowns, which have also been used by Indian-occupied Kashmir, are often …” defenceculture-communityother | 88 |
| 24 Jun 2026 | Nottingham Maternity and Neonatal Services “First, I want to thank the families who were bereaved and harmed by Nottingham University hospitals NHS trust—some of the most courageous and selfless people I have had the privilege of knowing, including my hon. Friend the Member for Sherwood Forest (Michelle Welsh). They have for years relentlessly pursued the truth,…” healthsocial-care | 232 |
| 24 Jun 2026 | Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 280) “Minister, the Government have made halving VAWG a key mission. What was your role, as Minister for Women, in the strategy?” | 21 |
| 24 Jun 2026 | Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 280) “I know that Refuge and other sector organisations are concerned that the bold aims of the VAWG strategy have not been matched with the level of funding that would be required to deliver meaningful, widespread change. What would you say to that?” | 42 |
| 24 Jun 2026 | Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 280) “Why is tackling violence against women and girls being led at Minister of State level rather than Secretary of State level? I know that you are also Secretary of State for Education, but what does that say about the level of priority afforded to this mission?” | 46 |
| 24 Jun 2026 | Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 280) “That is good to hear. Can you say a little more about the steps that the Department for Education is taking to reduce misogynistic attitudes and harmful behaviour towards women and girls? How are you assessing the impact of this work?” | 41 |
| 11 Jun 2026 | Business of the House “On 21 May, the Government laid the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s draft code of practice for services, public functions and associations before the House. Since then, a litany of trans-led organisations, human rights groups, charities and trade unions have come out in opposition, citing the harm it poses to tra…” local-governmenteconomy-jobshealth | 197 |
| 9 Jun 2026 intervention | Topical Questions “T4. We all know that social care is in crisis, with huge staff shortages, unmet needs and councils’ finances being pushed to the brink, so it is disappointing that the King’s Speech did not contain anything on social care. Given that the full Casey review is not expected until 2028 and that implementation is estimated …” healthsocial-care | 93 |
