Speeches by Griffith.

“Kirsten, as a trade unionist representing the industry, what sort of barriers and challenges do you see women face?”

“Basically it is the grassroots nature of it, the informality of it, the disparate nature of it, that makes it very difficult.”

“In other words, if there was better job security they would feel more able to come forward or to challenge some of the issues?”

“Thank you very much. I will specifically focus on the cultural change. It is five years on, and we have heard criticism that cultural change initiatives are still a bit of a tick-box exercise, and that personnel are not really engaged with these matters and solutions. Is that a fair criticism, and how do you embed cult…”

“You mentioned role models, which are extremely important. Perhaps I can ask General Sir Gwyn Jenkins to focus on the actual mechanisms you are using to get that cultural change into the tasks, exercises and aspects of the force’s life.”

“So you are saying that in some cases you have had pushback on some of the cultural change and that you are tackling those leaders in that respect?”

“So you have done quite a lot of analysis?”

“General Sir Roly Walker, you clearly referenced misogyny in wider society. We have heard about it in schools and about toxic masculinity online. I am interested in any pushback you get from your more senior staff, but also the challenging task you alluded to of your younger generation of recruits coming in and how you …”

“Can I bring in Louise on that whole range of issues?”

“Can I bring in Louise on that whole range of issues?”

“You have touched on quite a wide range of different characteristics. Do you think there has been too much focus on protected characteristics and not enough on the wider range of diversity you have just mentioned?”

“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 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 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 …”

“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 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…”

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