Speeches by Gilbert.

“My constituents welcomed the fall in energy prices at the beginning of this month. Does my right hon. Friend agree that the best way to reduce energy prices in Scotland is not to pursue more constitutional divides but to secure our energy independence by progressing the Government’s clean power mission as quickly as po…”

“As a lesbian woman, I have often been misgendered. As a young person—a tomboy—that sort of thing did not bother me; I wore it as a badge of honour.

“Alice Sullivan has spoken a lot about identifying sex and gender. Does the hon. Member agree that sex and gender are not the same thing, and that if we are registering for a parkrun, another sporting event or anything else, we all know what is on our birth certificate?”

“I thank my hon. Friend for reassuring us that these amendments have a timescale of 12 months. What are the Government doing behind the scenes to progress this work as quickly as possible? Can she outline the work that she has undertaken to ensure that the regulations are introduced within those 12 months?”

“Does the hon. Member recognise that women are a vulnerable group and that we make up half the population, yet we are still subject to more violence than any other group of people in society?”

“We will, Minister, we will. Thank you very much.”

“A very quick follow-up. We spoke about mainstreaming, and I know we have spoken about this quite a lot when you have been at evidence sessions previously. Are you confident that we can deliver that mainstreaming, given the cuts that we have had and the loss of potential expertise through the reorganisation of staffing?”

“Just a light topic then, on women, peace and security. In a recent inquiry on women, peace and security, we heard that women and girls’ rights are under threat, as we know and as we touched on earlier. How is the Government ensuring that the UK remains a leader on women, peace and security?”

“Foreign Secretary, when will the Government respond to the ICJ’s July 2024 advisory opinion on Israel’s forcible transfer of Palestinians from the West Bank?”

“Najat, what impact have escalating regional tensions had on the ability of humanitarian actors to deliver aid? Andrew just touched on the fact that shipping equipment is problematic, but I do not know if that is due to the current escalation or just a general problem.”

“Thank you both for joining us. What are the main challenges for humanitarian organisations in delivering humanitarian assistance in Syria?”

“Thank you for joining us, Minister. Could you give us a bit of an overview of your role in the newly established Department that you are running, and tell us about the main challenges you are facing?”

“Thank you. Andrew, is there anything you would like to add to the same question?”
