Speeches by Paul.

“It is very helpful. This is the whole point of this inquiry. We want to hear all the different views.”

“But you said that you had just looked at websites; you did not look at social media. The stories that I have heard from young women, which prompted me to raise this issue to the Committee and do this inquiry, are that it is all over their social media. I was really confused. I thought, “I don’t see any of this. Is that…”

“It has been 146 days since the Equality and Human Rights Commission laid the revised code of practice before Government. Have the Government asked the EHRC to make any changes to the code of practice? If they have, can the Minister tell us what they are?”

“I thank the Minister for his statement, and for all his support with the issues we have had at Park25 in Redhill; I very much appreciate that he has taken residents’ concerns seriously. Which of the changes will be most beneficial for my Park25 residents, and has the Minister given any more thought to my suggestion of …”

“I am concerned that a merger of Surrey police with neighbouring forces will divert resources away from communities in Surrey. On a busy Saturday night, Reigate will inevitably lose out to Reading. What reassurance can the Secretary of State provide to my constituents?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Vaz. I thank the hon. Member for Bolton South and Walkden (Yasmin Qureshi) for securing this important debate. In many countries, a quick kiss and fly really is quick and really is free. At Amsterdam Schiphol, the kiss and ride drop-off is free. At Paris-Charles de …”

“One of the things that contributes to staff burnout is caring for patients in corridors. I recently visited St Helier hospital and saw that for myself, and it was very concerning and distressing. We are also seeing that at East Surrey hospital in Redhill, in my constituency. Will the Secretary of State confirm when we …”

“Plans to restrict access to jury trial take a sledgehammer to one of the most important protections for the people of this country. I would expect any Government suggesting a change of that magnitude to have a strong rationale for doing so. Instead, we hear the nonsensical argument that curtailing jury trials will addr…”

“It is incredibly depressing that the Minister does not appear to recognise the seriousness of the situation for pubs in Bognor Regis and Littlehampton and, indeed, across the country, with around eight closing every week. Pubs already face huge costs and hiked taxes—there really are no more pips to squeak. It can be no…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mrs Hobhouse. I begin by congratulating the hon. Member for Glasgow North (Martin Rhodes) on securing today’s informative and thoughtful debate. All the contributions have been insightful, but I particularly enjoyed the speech by the hon. Member for Ealing Central and …”

“The Health Secretary’s puberty blocker trial will stop the natural puberty of many young lesbians, putting them on a pathway to irreversible changes and a lifetime of medicalisation. What are the Minister’s plans to stop this state-sanctioned conversion therapy?”

“I am pleased to present a petition on pornography on behalf of my Reigate constituents. Pornography has never been more accessible than it is today, and it is fuelling an epidemic of violence against women and girls. It is vital that action is taken to protect both those viewing this material and those individuals feat…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Furniss. I am grateful to have the opportunity to speak on behalf of the more than 4,200 people in my constituency who signed the petition opposing digital ID. I very much share the concerns that many of my constituents have raised with me. The Government’s intentio…”

“I am a new member of the Committee, and I want to declare that I am a serving Surrey county councillor.”

“Grasping the nettle is obviously really important in this case. I assume that you are working closely with MHCLG on this big issue.”

“What evidence have you seen that RISE teams will be more effective than academy orders?”

“RISE teams have started to engage with schools that have concerning levels of attainment, yet some respondents to the Government’s own school accountability consultation raised concerns that schools may off-roll or exclude pupils to improve attainment outcomes. What safeguards will the Department put in place to ensure…”

“So when will the guidance be released?”

“Can you give us a ballpark, or do you not know?”

“I want to touch on Peter’s question. I would be grateful to hear from the Secretary of State on this point. You have talked already about the future SEND spend in 2028-29—the £6 billion figure. I am very interested in the £14 billion of historical DSG deficits held off balance sheet under the statutory override mechani…”
