Speeches by Duffield.

“Will the hon. Lady make it clear again for anyone watching this debate that what she is saying is that those biological males—fully intact biological males—housed on the women’s estate are overwhelmingly convicted of violent sexual offences?”

“Katharine, you were nodding in agreement. Do you want to come in?”

“Emma, you were telling us earlier about your ideas of fertility. We found that women’s reproductive health was too often seen primarily through the prism of fertility, even when women had decided they did not want to have children. Are you aware of any recent progress towards more inclusive co-decisions about treatment…”

“You mentioned moving away from the use of the term “reproductive health” to describe all gynae and menstrual issues. What term do you think we should be using, or have you not got to that stage yet?”

“It sounds like women are at the bottom of the list.”

“Yesterday, I was at a birth trauma conference, and it was all the same excuses about why we cannot have these things done. To what extent do you think that women’s fertility is sufficiently safeguarded? For example, should egg freezing be available on the NHS for people with certain conditions?”

“It has been a really fascinating conversation. I just want to talk a bit about Christian nationalism. At the recent Unite the Kingdom rally, some protesters were carrying crucifix symbols and crosses. How and why do you as a panel think that the far-right movement is appropriating Christianity? I am just going to say a…”

“Just going back to Canterbury again—sorry, not wanting to make it all about that—we have had this art installation project, and it really stunned me that JD Vance was tweeting about something happening in my cathedral. I was thinking, “Really?” He had a clear view on that and it not being Christian or something. I just…”

“I am guessing it is growing in the UK as well. Is this very much on the radar of HOPE not hate? I know you have done lots of investigations with places like Sky News, and it is looking into it. Is that something that you guys are concentrating on at the moment?”

“We have heard evidence on the need for more thorough psychological screening, which is what you just talked about, Professor Fowler, of certain individuals seeking cosmetic procedures, particularly in relation to mental health conditions such as body dysmorphic disorder. I spoke earlier about very young women going in …”

“Will the Government mandate cooling-off periods between consultation and surgery, which is something the last panel were really keen on?”

“I do not really mind who answers this: we have heard evidence highlighting the importance of more robust informed consent processes. Is the Department reviewing existing consent protocols for cosmetic procedures?”

“When we first started this inquiry, I got completely hooked on the Olivia Attwood series on ITV. I thought it was so excellent, though a bit squeamish-making. As an old lady who has children in their 20s, I was really surprised that so many really young women—who do not need anything—were just going for more and more t…”

“7. What steps the Church of England is taking to help support the appointment process for the next Archbishop of Canterbury.”

“As my hon. Friend will know, it has been a really difficult year for the Church, and for Canterbury cathedral in particular, with the death of our beloved Dean Emeritus Robert Willis, the horrible circumstances surrounding the resignation of Archbishop Justin, and the current controversy about an art exhibition that se…”

“South East Water’s Broad Oak reservoir in Canterbury, which will also serve your constituency, Mr Deputy Speaker, is not due to open until 2033. Will my beleaguered residents and businesses in Canterbury and parts of Whitstable have to put up with the droughts and the leaks—in a heatwave, which has been unbearable—for …”

“It is a bit chicken and egg, perhaps. Are they seeking that stuff, or is it there and therefore really easy to access? As a society, what do we do? Do we educate those people that are at the end of those photos and videos who are victims or potentially abused people? Perhaps if they are ordinary people doing ordinary j…”

“You mentioned the Gisèle Pelicot case. One of the most shocking aspects of that was the normal men who appeared to be just turning up and putting aside their public persona—their jobs and the fact that they were neighbours—and doing this unspeakable thing. You were talking about the 850 men a month. I wonder if there i…”

“Mary-Ann, first, I have been asked to declare an interest. As chair of the Women’s Parliamentary Labour Party, you would often be invited into briefings when there were big fiscal events or the Budget was coming up. Given that women are always disproportionately disadvantaged by austerity measures—things like the welfa…”

“To go back to the Supreme Court judgment, given that women are almost 52% of the population, how would the EHRC keep and gain the trust of women’s rights groups like For Women Scotland, who brought that Supreme Court judgment and won. Of course that was about clarifying the law. Would the EHRC work to include those wom…”
