Speeches by Taylor.

“I really feel for my hon. Friend’s constituent. Warwickshire police used to have one of the worst records in the country for charging in rape cases, but they have turned that around and now have one of the best. Does he agree that, for the police to continue doing their work investigating the accused, our court system …”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that there is nothing progressive about a working-class man spending a year on remand—without a judge or a jury, and without any end to his turmoil in sight—when he may in fact be innocent?”

“Is it a common problem that victims or clients encounter cases in which chains of command have reacted inappropriately, or is that rare?”

“On that aspect, Nina, the service justice system is frequently criticised for its lack of independence from the chain of command. How often do you encounter cases in which a victim believes that the chain of command has reacted inappropriately?”

“I am really asking you what the consequences are if a commanding officer chooses to ignore their statutory duty to report things.”

“Thank you for attending this afternoon, and thank you both for your service. You have already touched on clause 17 and the statutory duty. Kristian, do you think that duty is enough for commanding officers to take their responsibility seriously? What are the consequences if they choose to ignore it?”

“How do you think we should go about that programme of education?”

“Thank you for being here this afternoon, Alan. The Bill will give service courts new powers to address sexual harm and domestic abuse. In your view, are these powers appropriate to help tackle sexual harm and domestic abuse in the context of service life?”

“As part of my work on the Women and Equalities Committee, I have heard at first hand from victims of horrific hate crimes, who have been targeted just because of how they looked and who they were. Will the Secretary of State confirm that this Labour Government will finally deliver the funding, resources and a call to a…”

“Can I thank my right hon. Friend for everything that he is doing in Britain’s national interest? Our armed forces cannot believe their ears when we have the Leader of the Opposition saying that they are hanging around doing nothing and the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage) swanning off to the States to tell Donald…”

“Did you say that only four out of 42 ICBs funded lesbian women’s IVF and that it was lower for trans women and other communities?”

“Do those 38 ICBs not fund any rounds of IVF for lesbian couples?”

“Do you think we should be collecting data on LGBT people as a specific cohort? If so, why do we need to do that? Obviously some of those statistics clearly show that there is a potential for abuse.”

“Laura-Rose, what concerns have you received from lesbians or other members of the LGBT community, including those from minority ethnic groups, who have undergone egg sharing or egg donation?”

“David, will the Secretary of State have the power to divert resources from housing to fund other defence priorities?”

“Thank you for coming along today. How much independent financial control will the Defence Housing Service have over the housing budget?”

“Will the Secretary of State have the power to divert resources from housing to fund other potential defence priorities?”

“Who do you think should be collecting that data?”

“Diane, in the US students appear to be targeted for egg donation and we have heard similar reports in the UK. In your opinion, is such targeting ethical?”

“What is the minimum age limit for egg donation in countries that you have studied, and do you think it should be higher than 18?”
