| 13 Oct 2025 | Mental Health Bill [Lords] “I will speak to new clauses 28 and 36 and amendment 39, which I tabled not just as an MP but as a father. After what my family have been through, I believe that any parent would do the same. Yesterday, alongside the right hon. Member for Salisbury (John Glen), I had the privilege of hearing Dr Kate Szymankiewicz speak …” healthsocial-carelocal-government | 737 |
| 13 Oct 2025 | Onshore Wind Turbines “The UK is committed to growing our wind energy manufacturing capacity, but this requires investment in innovation to develop the next generation of products that could be made in the UK, using expertise that exists in places like my constituency of Isle of Wight West. Can the Minister assure me that the Government are …” energyeconomy-jobs | 86 |

| 3 Sept 2025 | Future of Terrestrial Television “It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Twigg, and I thank the right hon. Member for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale (David Mundell) for securing this important debate and for the hard work that he has already put into this area. I am very pleased that broadband coverage in my Isle of Wight West c…” culture-communitycost-of-livingtechnology | 503 |
| 2 Sept 2025 | Hospitality Sector “Does the hon. Gentleman acknowledge that, under the Tories, a pub closed every 14 hours? That was 10,000 in total, so whether it is 14 hours or 14 years, the Tory party cannot be trusted with the economy.” economy-jobscost-of-livinglocal-government | 38 |

| 2 Sept 2025 | Hospitality Sector “Unlike most, if not all, of the Conservative Members listed on the Order Paper as supporters of the motion, my wife and I own two successful hospitality businesses. We welcome the increase in national insurance contributions and the improvements in workers’ rights because they are good for our employees, our businesses…” economy-jobscost-of-livinglocal-government | 78 |
| 1 Sept 2025 | Eating Disorders: Prevention of Deaths “I beg to move, That this House has considered the matter of the prevention of deaths from eating disorders. It is a great pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Desmond. I thank all hon. Members for attending this debate on a topic extremely close to my heart. As hon. Members may know by now, I am the very proud M…” healthsocial-care | 359 |
| 1 Sept 2025 | Eating Disorders: Prevention of Deaths “I thank the Minister for his response and all hon. Members for their thoughtful contributions. It has been truly heartening. This is the main message I hope to leave today: one death from any eating disorder is one too many. These deaths are not inevitable; they are preventable, yet far too many lives have already been…” healthsocial-care | 166 |
| 1 Sept 2025 | Eating Disorders: Prevention of Deaths “I thank my hon. Friend for her excellent intervention. I agree that this is a family-wide illness. We must reach the point where no one in the UK dies from an eating disorder, where every individual—man, woman, girl, boy—regardless of age, location or clinical classification has access to the support they need when the…” healthsocial-care | 494 |
| 1 Sept 2025 | Eating Disorders: Prevention of Deaths “My hon. Friend is entirely correct. Our experience of private equity is that it is selective in terms of the patients accepted. It profits from misery. We were put in the awful position of having to choose to send our youngest child to a hospital that had just seen the tragic death of Ruth Szymankiewicz—I take this opp…” healthsocial-care | 600 |
| 1 Sept 2025 | Eating Disorders: Prevention of Deaths “It is true that a lack of understanding among professionals about the severity of the problem contributes to the situation. To have it put down to a lack of collaboration would be infuriating for that parent, as well as truly tragic. We know well by now that early intervention is crucial for identifying and supporting …” healthsocial-care | 132 |
| 1 Sept 2025 | Eating Disorders: Prevention of Deaths “I thank my hon. Friend for his extremely pertinent point. Early intervention saves not only lives but a huge amount in costs to the NHS. I know the vast majority of NHS staff go above and beyond to support patients, often under immense pressure, and many of us here would like to put on record our thanks to them. Howeve…” healthsocial-care | 67 |
| 1 Sept 2025 | Eating Disorders: Prevention of Deaths “I thank my hon. Friend for that important point—it does. The loss of a loved one is harrowing enough without the true cause not being recorded. That is why we are calling for a confidential inquiry into eating disorder deaths. Given the concerns about under-reporting and inconsistencies in the data, it is even more ala…” healthsocial-care | 137 |
| 1 Sept 2025 | Eating Disorders: Prevention of Deaths “I agree entirely. We are fully aware of the political situation and the condition that the NHS was left in under the previous Government, but the point of today’s debate is not to make cheap political attacks; it is to focus on the matter in hand, which is eating disorders, so I thank the hon. Member for his interventi…” healthsocial-care | 102 |
| 21 Jul 2025 | Mental Health Research Funding: Eating Disorders “5. What recent estimate his Department has made of the proportion of mental health research funding allocated to eating disorders.” health | 20 |
| 21 Jul 2025 | Mental Health Research Funding: Eating Disorders “Eating disorders cost the UK an estimated £9 billion each year, yet research into these serious conditions receives just 1% of all mental health research funding. That is despite eating disorders affecting around 9% of people with mental health conditions, the consequences of which are delayed diagnosis and treatment a…” health | 91 |
| 21 Jul 2025 | Topical Questions “T8. Thank you, Mr Speaker. I am so delighted to have two questions on health this week that I am not even going to mention ferries! As my hon. Friend will know, the process for securing an education, health and care plan is complex and can lead to delays in accessing vital support. That can have a serious impact on the…” healthsocial-care | 92 |
| 7 Jul 2025 | Football Governance Bill [Lords] “While the facial expressions of Opposition Members are worth an intervention all on their own, does my hon. Friend agree that this Bill provides stronger financial oversight and increased fan involvement, promotes equity and inclusion, protects club heritage, and increases transparency and accountability? The reason th…” culture-communityeconomy-jobssocial-care | 57 |
| 2 Jul 2025 | Topical Questions “T2. While it could be said that the Conservative party could fit into a children’s paddling pool, we in Isle of Wight West take swimming—as well as our issue with ferries—very seriously. [Laughter.] I thought hon. Members would like that one. West Wight sports and community centre is an excellent community-run facility…” culture-communityeconomy-jobshealth | 77 |
