Speeches by Khan.

“I thank my hon. Friend and Chair of the Select Committee, of which I am a member, for presenting the report. We heard compelling evidence during the inquiry. Does she agree that the Government should look carefully at the evidence we heard about the impact of out-of-borough placements on children, families and host bor…”

“11. What steps her Department is taking to reduce gambling harms.”

“Following on from that, obviously we have the conversations around devolution and the role that combined and mayoral authorities will play. What do you see their role being in resilience planning going forward, and what impact do you think the plans around devolution could have on this? Do you think there could be some…”

“We have just heard a little bit about your conversations with RBKC, but the Government have also said that they support the recommendations directed to councils around improving their resilience and training arrangements. How are you going to ensure that councils are able to implement those changes, particularly in ter…”

“Just so that I am clear, there is some additional funding here to back this up and give councils support to deliver.”

“I am Naushabah Khan, the Member of Parliament for Gillingham and Rainham.”

“I think we have all been shocked and horrified to see the escalation in Gaza over the past few days. I thank the Foreign Secretary for his words today. What work is he doing with the international community and directly with the Israeli Government to lift the blockade on aid and ensure that it can get to the Palestinia…”

“I completely agree with my hon. Friend. We must support our young men. The start of that journey is to tackle the toxic and concerning material found online. We must ensure that the social media companies, with their billions, are doing the right thing in managing that content, which I do not believe they are doing at …”

“I thank the hon. Member for Huntingdon (Ben Obese-Jecty) for bringing this debate to the House, and I commend colleagues for their powerful speeches. It is clear that there is an undeniable consensus across the House on the need to get this right. However, consensus alone is not enough. A national crisis has devastated…”

“I am the Labour MP for Gillingham and Rainham.”

“I have a follow-up question on what you said around the regulation. Do you think that has created challenges in recruitment and resourcing? Is it a potential issue going forward in terms of whether you actually have a resource in place to be able to implement everything you should be doing?”

“Lorna, a question to you directly first. The Phase 2 report found that the local authority building control had been vulnerable to manipulation by dishonest manufacturers due to a failure to implement its processes vigorously. How would the expected recommendations improve the way in which the local authority building …”

“I want to move on to fire safety and services. How confident are you that the changes to how Fire and Rescue Services operate—in relation to high-rise fires particularly—will prevent another disaster like Grenfell from happening? Are there any recommendations for the Fire and Rescue Services in particular that you want…”

“It is a pleasure to speak in this International Women’s Day debate as the first female MP for Gillingham and Rainham. I am surrounded by so many hard-working and driven women from across the House. Regardless of the party we represent, politics has always been a vehicle for smashing gender stereotypes, pulling down bar…”

“Across the House this week we have heard about the vital contribution that our armed forces make, and the dedication they show to this country. However, sometimes the experiences of women in the armed forces can be challenging. Will the Leader of the House consider a debate on how the Government can support women who a…”

“My hon. Friend is making an incredibly powerful speech. Does she agree with me and with my hon. Friend the Member for Clapham and Brixton Hill (Bell Ribeiro-Addy) that health services for women of colour are also lagging very far behind?”

“Medway Maritime hospital in my constituency of Gillingham and Rainham has today received a concerning Care Quality Commission report, following an inspection of the emergency department in February last year. Testimonies include patients having to wait up to 50 hours to be seen, and others being told to soil themselves…”

“On that, one of my local colleges offers construction skills as part of its curriculum. It finds that it has people who wish to be part of the course, but does not necessarily have teachers who are able to deliver those courses, even if they are from the construction industry. I wondered whether you had any reflections…”

“So that I am clear, we are saying that it is not necessarily a pipeline issue.”

“I am Naushabah Khan, Labour Member of Parliament for Gillingham and Rainham.”
