Speeches by Wrighting.

“In Kettering, we know the scale of the challenge facing NHS dentistry after 14 years of Tory failure. My constituents regularly tell me how impossible it is to get an appointment. Some are driving tens of miles to see a dentist, and it is simply a scandal how many children are admitted to hospital with tooth decay. Whi…”

“This Government have made a solid commitment to make work pay and put more money into working people’s pockets. In my constituency, we have a large number of distribution jobs, and as a result of this Government’s actions, people in Kettering on the minimum wage will have more money in their pockets to last them throug…”

“My hon. Friend is making a powerful speech. He and I are constituency neighbours. As he will know, there has been a lot of growth in Northamptonshire and increased distribution in the area, so the Government new clause will make a massive difference to our constituents.”

“I rise today as the youngest woman in Parliament and the first woman to represent my constituency of Kettering. I was raised by women: my mum, my nan and my aunt Emma. I am proudly a gen Z woman. Like many others my age, I grew up on social media. I watched this series of “Love Island”. This weekend, I am going to see …”

“Yes, I absolutely agree. I am sad to say that that advice was not new to us. Those, sadly, are things that we have had to learn just through our own experiences. I also put on the record my admiration for colleagues across this House from ethnic minority backgrounds and the LGBTQ+ community and for female Members who h…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for those really kind comments. The things I see on my screen also translate to real life. When I walk back to my flat tonight, I will not have my headphones on, so I can hear if someone is following me. When I go out with my friends, I will not put my drink down, because I am worried I might be …”

“I thank my right hon. Friend for his chairmanship of the Committee. Given the Prime Minister’s recent announcements, and our increased defence spending, does my right hon. Friend agree that it is important to support small and medium-sized defence enterprises?”

“This is to all three of you. We have touched on a few points but, in summary, how competitive is the UK’s business environment? What is holding back growth and investment? I will start with GSK.”

“Where is that competition coming from geographically?”

“Mr Bates, what do you think the key barriers are to growth in the sector?”

“The Prime Minister showed unwavering commitment to Ukraine this weekend, and I stand with him on that. Will he reiterate this Government’s support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and our commitment to working with our allies in both the US and Europe so that we are in the best position possible to work towards a lasting peac…”

“That is a very certain answer.”

“The Prime Minister has made it pretty clear that it is a mission of this Government to see the highest levels of growth in the G7. What do you think the trade strategy needs to focus on in order to make that a reality?”

“We touched on luxury goods and automotives, but I wanted to come to all of you to ask what critical products and supply chains are most exposed to the current economic security threats.”

“Various geopolitical factors, yes.”

“Do you have concerns around tech monopolies as well, where supply chains are less visible?”

“Thank you all for your time this afternoon. As you know, the UK Modern Slavery Act has not been updated to require mandatory due diligence in supply chains. We have seen other countries and regions around us, such as the EU and the US, strengthen their regulation. Do you think that means that the UK is at risk of becom…”

“Thank you for that. Tom, would you agree? Do you think that the UK is at risk of becoming a dumping ground for forced labour goods?”

“I think that the comment from Tesco shocked us all when we heard it.”

“Sarah, would you agree with that 2050 target being impossible without looking at imports?”
