Speeches by Griffith.

“I am going to turn to the issue of how we actually define diversity and inclusion, which you have already touched on. Zoe and Alex, what are some of the difficulties in defining, promoting and analysing diverse and inclusive cultures in the workplace?”

“I thank the Secretary of State for his prompt action in banning cryptoasset donations and capping foreign donations. The Rycroft review also recommends that foreign-funded adverts be banned and that all online adverts should have imprints to show who has paid for them. Will the Secretary of State explain when and how t…”

“I thank the Minister for his time in meeting us in Swansea, as well as the time he has spent on this topic here in the House. He mentions the disadvantages of making any sort of blanket legislation, but does he not agree that there are ways we can caveat that, such as applying it when the scheme is in surplus? Does he …”

“I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this debate and on clearly laying out the injustice. Does he have concerns, as I do, that the make-up of the trustee boards means that the company is in control? That is either because the trustees are current employees and their promotion will depend on the company or because …”

“I very much appreciate the determination of this Government to get an SPS agreement with the EU. That will bring down costs both for our Welsh farmers exporting meat, and for our consumers. Llanelli has a long tradition of cockle gathering, but exports of unprocessed shellfish were stopped by the Tories’ ill-thought-th…”

“I very much welcome the Government’s commitment to supporting our Welsh steel industry and to using much more steel made in the UK, but Llanelli’s Trostre works needs high-quality steel to make the steel packaging products it produces. That steel used to come from Port Talbot’s blast furnaces. Can the Minister tell us …”

“So the three scenarios that Peter described are not so applicable in the UK then?”

“In terms of reporting the actual success rate, do you have a standardised system across the sector that you require everybody to use? Is that a realistic proposal?”

“So there is no actual system?”

“That is very helpful. Moving on to the global sale of eggs, clearly people move about the place and the world is becoming ever smaller. How do we tackle this? Should there be a global limit on the number of families created by a single donor? If so, how would we go about achieving that and have you had discussions with…”

“I want to focus on egg freezing and the global sale of eggs. To start with the freezing process, what steps does the HFEA take to ensure that clinics provide accurate information about the success rate of egg freezing and its limitations?”

“Did I understand you to say that there is no way you can tell if someone whose eggs come into the country to be used has actually donated elsewhere and has many other families?”

“Let us look at it the other way round: if a donor’s eggs are going to be sent abroad, are they asked for additional consent or are they just not told about it?”

“How are the overseas clinics which import to or export from the UK vetted or monitored by the HFEA to ensure that they exhibit similar ethical standards to ours?”

“Thank you very much; it has been an absolutely fascinating session. I do not want you to repeat yourselves too much, but because I am a former teacher I am going to give you the most difficult questions. You have talked about all the uncertainty that men feel and how they are going to make their way in the world, the c…”

“Can I stop you there? As a former teacher, I know it was always a thing that if you gave boys and girls an equal amount of attention, the boys thought they had less. It is almost an in-built perception even when you have positive role models. The positive ones can be very masculine; they do not have to be feminised or …”

“How do we stop the spread of the manosphere? Is there any way that somebody who is drawn into it can be helped to come out of it, perhaps in the way you have seen?”

“Dr Diane Tober, do you have any comment to make about how the UK’s regulatory framework for egg donation, egg freezing and safety of those donating or freezing compares internationally with the experience that you have?”

“We would like to start with some very general points. Do the current regulations in the UK really provide the necessary adequate protections for the health and wellbeing of the people who donate or freeze their eggs?”

“That is very helpful and obviously we recognise what you are saying in terms of the limitations of the studies there have been. Perhaps you could tell us a little about what your particular research has found about the long and short-term health impacts of both egg donation and freezing—things such as whether there is …”
