Speeches by Niblett.

“New House Farm school in my part of Mickleover in South Derbyshire is planned and groundwork is complete. The trigger point for the release of the section 106 funds is 314 houses, which is likely to be met in November. However, we have yet to receive a clear signal to go ahead and build the school from the Department f…”

“South Derbyshire district council has taken the bold and rather commendable decision to ban any new property management fees, and to backdate that to January 2025. However, that does not help those who already have homes they bought before 2025. Does the hon. Lady agree that we should press our Government to legislate …”

“The number of boat crossings has risen from 800 in 2018, before we left the European Union, to 40,000 a year because of Brexit. Can the Minister provide some clarity on the measures that he is taking to help solve this immigration crisis at its core, without falling back on yet another fake silver bullet—leaving the Eu…”

“The Minister knows that I took part in the armed forces parliamentary scheme this year and last year, and I had the great privilege of visiting the NATO airbase in Poland where I saw Typhoons scramble to the skies to protect us from Russian aircraft. He rightly points out that Türkiye is an important NATO ally, and I a…”

“All Members have been appalled by the scenes that emerged from Gaza in the wake of the ceasefire, showing Hamas executing people in the streets as they seek to reassert control over the area. Does the Minister agree that such scenes simply reinforce that Hamas are nothing but terrorists and murderers, and that they mus…”

“Four years ago today, 17-year-old Phoebe Johnson tragically died in a car crash on the A514 in my constituency. The driver of the car she was in had only been driving for eight weeks and admitted she was too drunk to drive after leaving a house party. Phoebe’s parents Nicky and Paul said: “Our lives will never be the s…”

“As a woman with breasts—not having a PIP implant I must say—but the very thought of thinking there is something in my body doing me harm and I am now going to have maybe one or both removed and be left with what would be a stonking reminder of an absence of breasts, or leave me disfigured because we cannot afford to ge…”

“It sounds like you are talking about physical harms, whereas I cannot even begin to imagine what that would do to a woman’s mental health.”

“That is really good to hear actually, because one of the things that we have been hearing is that many skilled practitioners—including those with level 7, so like master’s level aesthetic qualifications—could be forced out of practice if they lack a formal medical background. What plans does the Department have to crea…”

“This is a really key point because we have heard that I think 80% of practitioners are women, and lots of them will be female entrepreneurs with their own business. I just wonder if the Government are considering providing financial support or funding to assist practitioners in meeting any new regulatory requirements t…”

“I would like to talk about training and standards. I wonder what minimum training standards the Government plans to introduce for the non-surgical aesthetic sector and how would they be implemented?”

“Moving on to PIP implants in particular, do you think it was the correct decision for the UK only to remove ruptured PIP implants but not replace them, despite other countries, such as France, opting to replace all PIP implants?”

“I heard you touch on it earlier, but I would like to come on to training qualifications and oversight. How should the Government define and enforce minimum training qualification standards for practitioners who are performing non-surgical cosmetic procedures? Sorry if I am putting words in your mouth, but should there …”

“It might be putting words in your mouth, but on that point, is there an argument to say that actually Government should consider pre-existing experience? If you get accreditation, accreditation is almost gold standard, but you might have experience.”

“Would it help if being a regulated healthcare professional was the only requirement needed to perform or oversee non-surgical procedures in the amber category?”

“How would we press for that in light of the fact that when there was a need for other corrective surgery for botched cosmetic procedures that happened? I like the tone of maybe we should revisit this, but how do we then ensure that it is revisited? It just feels like a woman is carrying all this risk. She had something…”

“3. What steps his Department is taking to improve maternity and neonatal care.”

“Pregnancy can be a worrying time for any expectant parent, and knowing they can access their GP to see a person face to face is hugely important. That was denied to my constituent, Hayley Johnson, who sadly went on to lose her baby, Evelyn, when she was delivered in an emergency at 26 weeks and six days due to a huge m…”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairship, Ms Furniss. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Morecambe and Lunesdale (Lizzi Collinge) for securing this debate—she beat me to it; I am absolutely delighted. It is wonderful to be here to speak in this debate commemorating Ada Lovelace Day, which was earlier this week,…”

“My question is this: with all the arguments for and against taken into account, and with trust in politicians and politics at an all-time low, what assurances can my right hon. Friend give that she will work with me to ensure that my constituents feel like this is being done with them, rather than to them?”
