Speeches by Fleet.

“That is absolutely horrendous. Have the Government equipped schools to deal with this form of sexual abuse?”

“You have alluded to this already, but how robust has the response been in the UK to pupils who have created pornographic deepfakes of their peers, both by the police and in schools?”

“As a mum of four children, I do not know who worries me more, my two daughters or my two sons. Thank you for all the work that you are doing around this. I do not want to know the answer, but I also do: how widespread is the issue of deepfake pornography of women and girls, particularly in school settings?”

“How effective do you think Ofcom and the Government’s new legislation on outlawing the creation of deepfakes will be in combating pornographic deepfakes?”

“I like to mention her often because I am very proud: I have a four-month-old granddaughter. She is going to grow up in a world that I do not feel equipped for. I did not raise my children in a world where any of this existed. What can we be doing as parents? How can we have more support and understanding of this subjec…”

“When we speak of the mineworkers’ pension, we speak of everyone who has sustained our pits, such as my constituents Anthony Peck, who joined the scheme aged 17, and Kevin Jowle, automatically enrolled when he became a deputy, without any consultation. Does the Minister agree that everyone deserves a fair pension and co…”

“The first constituent to reach out to me was a brave Bolsover mummy who had waited four years and five months, from rape to prosecution, with three postponements and multiple suicide attempts. I will do everything I can to use this Chamber to speak out for women who are being so badly let down. How will the Prime Minis…”

“I declare an interest as a member of the Women and Equalities Committee. Rape survivors are too often hidden in plain sight. In Bolsover, my constituency, 10,554 women will have been raped or sexually assaulted since they were 16—a third in their own homes—in Shirebrook, Tibshelf, Wessington, Barlborough and every vill…”

“You have already covered this, but it is definitely worth asking because it is so important. Is there adequate oversight and enforcement of regulations for those administering cosmetic treatments?”

“What changes would you like to see to current regulations and practices in the UK?”

“Thank you for everything that you have told us today and all the things that we have learned. It was really harrowing. Thank you for the work you are doing around raising awareness. Ashton, what steps are being taken to ensure that cosmetic treatments, like Botox and dermal fillers, are administered by adequately train…”

“You have some clinics near me that I will absolutely take a look at. What qualifications should practitioners possess to perform non-surgical procedures, and how can we ensure that these qualifications are consistently adhered to across the industry?”

“That brings me on perfectly to the next question. What are the consequences for practitioners who operate outside the regulatory framework and administer these unsafe procedures?”

“What could be done to address this?”

“This seems like a good question for Izzy. How easy is it for female entrepreneurs to access angel investment and get the right support for their business?”

“How easy is it for women to become angel investors, and what can be done to encourage more women to come forward?”

“Devie, why do female-led businesses in fintech secure less funding at lower valuations, despite comparable business performance with male-led companies?”

“Roni, what specific challenges have you faced in starting and sustaining a business in a male-dominated sector?”

“To what extent are viable businesses overlooked because they are in sectors that male investors might not understand or value, such as beauty or femtech?”

“Bolsover is one of only 15 constituencies in the whole of England to be without a sixth form. Our incredible and inspiring young people live in small towns and villages, and they have to rely either on parents to give them a lift or on barely existent public transport. One village, Morton, has just had its bus service …”
