Speeches by Taylor.

“I am surprised to hear the hon. Member for Broxbourne (Lewis Cocking) trashing hard-working local builders in his constituency and calling the homes that his constituents live in dreadful trashy houses. Before I came to this place—”

“Labour-led Nuneaton and Bedworth borough council has bucked the national trend in fly-tipping with a reduction in the borough of more than 10%, while total reported incidents have fallen by 200 on the previous year. Meanwhile, neighbouring Conservative-led North Warwickshire borough council served only one fixed penalt…”

“My constituency could not be further from the sea. However, I have spent many happy holidays in Cromer and Sheringham, and I am delighted that he has been returned to the House as the representative of those wonderful communities. Will he tell me how wonderful Cromer, Sheringham and the North Norfolk coast are? I prefe…”

“Will my right hon. Friend join me in recognising the great work done by PCSOs Nikki, Demi, Gavin and others in my constituency to prevent knife crime, and the Reel Rod Squad in Bedworth, which encourages young people to put down knives, take up fishing rods and enjoy the peace of the water instead?”

“I thank my colleagues on the Transport Committee for their work on this important report. I have been campaigning to make Atherstone station in my constituency more accessible, and I will be using this report to help achieve that goal. The previous Government recklessly overpromised on Access for All, misleading disabl…”

“I hope the spring equinox has put a spring in your step this morning, Madam Deputy Speaker. Every Saturday, people from all around Bedworth join the weekly parkrun in the Miners’ Welfare park. After the run, the Mayor’s Café and the garden centre, run by People in Action, are often full, but the town centre remains rel…”

“Does the Minister agree that there is still a long way to go to make BSL accessible for everyone who needs it and that it is important that deaf people not only are included in the conversations, but lead them? Does he share my delight in seeing BSL interpreters here today in Westminster Hall, which sends a message to …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Desmond. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Thurrock (Jen Craft) for securing this debate. When I worked at the Royal National Institute for Deaf People 25 years ago, I learned how important BSL is as a means of communication for deaf people.”

“BSL is a rich and important part of the cultural identity of the deaf community. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that it is essential that deaf people and their parents have access to BSL based not on whether they can pay for the courses but on need? That would enrich the language and cultural identity of the deaf commun…”

“I thank my hon. Friend and constituency neighbour for securing this debate. Several of my constituents with special educational needs are taking part in the supported internship programme at George Eliot hospital in her constituency. I am delighted that they have been able to take up that opportunity to learn important…”

“I thank my on. Friend and neighbour for securing this important debate. Every year, Bedworth residents show their pride in our armed forces with their Armistice Day parade, which I was privileged to take part in this year. Many of my constituents already work in the defence and security sector in small and medium-sized…”

“Will the hon. Member give way?”

“I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to make provision about the recording and investigation of freight crime; and for connected purposes. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Selby (Keir Mather) for being present on the Front Bench today. Shortly after being elected in July, I became the chair of the…”

“Do you think it is realistic to expect that, rather than their usual focus on direct fiscal implications?”

“Can we come back to you, Alex? You do not think there is anything to this idea that is being putting forward that parental leave is somehow just playing into a woke agenda?”

“Do you think there is an appetite for change across all the range of occupational income groups?”

“Alex, do you have any data on the background of men and dads who are supporting your campaign for improved paternity leave?”

“Can you tell us about some of the work you have done specifically to break down cultural barriers?”

“Karla, to what extent do you think low take-up rates of parental leave by dads, particularly in groups like working-class dads and some minority ethnic groups, are driven by cultural factors?”

“Do you think there are currently excluded groups that need to be considered in the Government’s review?”
