Speeches by Taylor.

“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?”

“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?”

“I have come straight to Parliament from Kingsbury school in my constituency, where the year 11 pupils were saying how much they are looking forward to being given the right to vote, so may I thank my right hon. Friend for bringing that forward in the Bill?”

“Can you sum up what successful implementation would look like?”

“You have both spoken about annual reports and so on, which is a good way of keeping Parliament informed about how you are delivering the Covenant duty, but how will you keep the public informed?”

“Is there anything you would add, Nick?”

“My first question is to you, William. How will you monitor implementation of the Covenant legal duty within your Department?”

“Thank you all for the amazing work you do for the armed forces community—it really is appreciated. I want to start by asking quite a general question. How would you describe the current effectiveness of the Covenant for the people your organisations work with?”

“You have given some very clear examples of where problems might happen. What do you think we could do to address those better, and is there an education programme with families, as opposed to the serving personnel themselves, that we need to look at?”

What are the shortcomings of the Armed Forces Covenant as things stand, and to what extent do you think this Bill would address some or all of tho…”

“Despite an additional £6.7 million being provided to Reform-led Warwickshire county council, the condition of roads across North Warwickshire remains an absolute disgrace. Potholes are the No. 1 concern for many drivers in my constituency. Our high streets, rural roads and main roads are littered with potholes. Does th…”

“I thank the shadow Minister for talking passionately about the things that her party helped to introduce. Will her party support moves to make sure that hate crime against all LGBT people is treated as an aggravated offence when that measure comes forward in the other place?”

“Gurdwara Baba Vadbhag Singh Ji and the BVS charity in my constituency have been serving their community in Exhall with compassion for years. Their Christmas hampers provide food and essentials to families who may be struggling at Christmas, and their Father’s Day event draws hundreds of people from around the local are…”

“I am so proud and pleased to be taking part in this debate. I pay tribute to my hon. Friend the Member for Nottingham East (Nadia Whittome). She may be young, but she is a fearless, knowledgeable and compassionate champion of our movement. I also pay tribute to all my other wonderful colleagues, both those from my comm…”

“Helen, does the current compensation limit strike the right balance between compensating women for their time and expenses and at the same time avoiding financial inducement?”

“We were hoping to be joined on this panel by Laura Rose, and these questions were going to be directed towards her. Zeynep, is there sufficient research and data collection on LGBT+ people who donate or freeze their eggs? Is there more that needs to be done? Are they being exploited?”

“Why do you think the minimum age should be 25 rather than 18?”
