Speeches by Niblett.

“Will my hon. Friend give way?”

“I thank the hon. Member for securing this important Adjournment debate this evening. In South Derbyshire, I hear stories of services to support breastfeeding women being cut. I speak as a mum who breastfed to eight months, although I had that moment where I almost did not, and it was my community midwife who saved the …”

“In South Derbyshire, we have created a network between my office and that of parish councils across the constituency. Several parish councils have raised the issue of road safety, from Repton all the way down to Overseal. They have carried out community speed watches, and made recommendations in a report about how we c…”

“I recently visited a NATO air force base in Poland as part of the armed forces parliamentary scheme I am taking part in with the RAF. There, I saw at first hand the importance of working closely with our NATO allies to defend our nation and keep us secure, as we witnessed the scramble to the skies to ward off Russian f…”

“In my constituency, we have arguably the largest number of new builds in the country; we are vying with Warwickshire for the crown of new build county. I have been inundated with requests for help with freehold management companies. My constituents are telling me the same stories they are telling my hon. Friend—and I a…”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship today, Mr Stuart. It is reported that in Derbyshire we have well over 3,000 memorials, and some estimate that there are as many as 4,000. They range from crosses, obelisks, cenotaphs, columns, statues, boards, plaques and tablets to documents such as rolls of honour or b…”

“I thank the hon. Member for her intervention—and for giving me an extra minute, in which I would like to talk about my community. I have one main hope about saying what I have just said and being openly bisexual. My daughter is so straight—it is so disappointing—[Laughter.] But if there are girls and women in South Der…”

“I had not intended to say what I am about to say, before the bit that I did intend to say, but, inspired by the Minister’s comment that coming out matters, I thought I would use this very public forum to say that I am a bisexual woman. Some people know; some do not. I do not wear it like a badge any more than I would e…”

“As I am taking part in the armed forces parliamentary scheme with the RAF, I have had the greatest pleasure and incredible privilege of visiting many RAF bases over the last year, and I am in absolute awe of those who put their lives on the line to defend us. The events of last week were not only a breach of our defenc…”

“As the founder of Labour: Women in Tech, I wholeheartedly welcome the industrial strategy’s ambitious goals to scale our tech sector and workforce. On 15 July in Parliament, I am hosting WeAreTechWomen and Oliver Wyman for the launch of the Lovelace report. The report has identified that between 40,000 and 60,000 femal…”

“I completely agree with my hon. Friend that allyship is important. I am the proud mum to a very disappointingly straight daughter, and she is a brilliant ally. I hope that the next generation will continue to be exactly like that and will create the atmosphere that is needed to support those who we stand side-by-side w…”

“I absolutely join the hon. Member in thanking the people in his constituency who do the same. Mikey’s work does not go unnoticed. He and all those who supported the event created a safe, welcoming space for LGBTQ+ people in South Derbyshire to be visible, celebrated and, perhaps most importantly, to be themselves. Amid…”

“Honestly, every single one of your answers has been incredible. Would you say that in the Government’s regulatory role—you have said that that has to come from the top—they have a significant role to play in ensuring that we are looking at things through a gendered lens and other diverse lenses, such as the lens of som…”

“You have just answered one of my questions because one of them was going to be about to what extent it would help to have more women working in this field. I think you have probably covered that. I was also going to follow up about bias in the artificial intelligence itself, which you alluded to in your introduction, b…”

“We are talking about 0.5% of the population in my group and 51% of the rest of the population, who probably did not know they were sharing a space with a trans woman.”

“I have spoken to constituents of mine—trans women in particular—in South Derbyshire who have probably had trust eroded in the EHRC. As EHRC and as a body, you “Promote equality and diversity, eliminate discrimination, and protect and promote human rights for everyone.” What message do you have for people whose trust ha…”

“It leads quite nicely on to my point, actually. How do you monitor diversity in your workforce, and what if anything do you do to encourage and support a diverse workforce?”

“Coming to the wider implications of what has been happening, it has been fascinating to listen to so much talk about proportionality, the grey lines, social contracts between people, and trust. When we talk about proportionality, we are talking about less than 0.5% of the population upon whom so much attention is being…”

“It is talking about all this attention and expecting people to change what they have been doing for 0.5%; that does not quite seem proportional to me. That also brings me on to a point around trust. It was really interesting to hear you talk about the satisfaction rates with the EHRC of 36% up to 85%.”

“I draw the attention of the House to my being the founder of Labour: Women in Tech and the co-chair of the all-party parliamentary group on financial technology, and to my career in data and technology prior to becoming an MP. I welcome the Government’s new approach to innovate and expedite the process and to leverage …”
