16 Jun 2025Victims and Courts Bill (Second sitting)

Q I want to follow up on parental responsibility. I know we have talked about this a lot, but I think it is really important. To follow up on your point about appeals through the family court, have you looked into alternatives to that, such as appeals through a different court or no appeals at all? Alex Davies-Jones: I

11 Jun 2025SEND Funding

Hampshire is a county that falls into the f40 group, which are areas that receive some of the lowest per-pupil funding in the country. This disparity is hitting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities the hardest. The cumulative deficit in Hampshire for the dedicated schools grant now sits at £86.1 milli

11 Jun 2025Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 942)

That leads me very nicely on to my next question, which is how feasible is it to hold any Government to account when that Government control both the finances and remit of your organisation?

11 Jun 2025Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 942)

I have a very general point. What impact is the lack of budget increase having on the EHRC and therefore the wider equalities agenda?

In your interim report, did you consider or look into the impact of the ruling on hermaphrodite or intersex people?

I feel that brings us back to the role of Parliament question.

9 Jun 2025Topical Questions

T8. Standing order charges are making energy bills unaffordable, particularly for those on lower incomes. What steps are Ministers taking to address this?

8 Jun 2025 Planning and Infrastructure Bill

We must find the right balance between agriculture and renewable energy. France has already taken the lead by mandating that all car parks with more than 80 spaces must be covered with solar panels. The Bill is the right place for us to implement a similar clause. Solar photovoltaics produce about 10 times more energy

8 Jun 2025 Planning and Infrastructure Bill

I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend on those policies. Solar panels do not just soak up the sun and create clean energy; they also provide shade, protect vehicles and, frankly, over a car park they look quite good while they are doing it. We should be prioritising solar panels on the 250,000 hectares of rooftops and

8 Jun 2025 Planning and Infrastructure Bill

The planning system certainly needs change, but local people know their area, which is why local planning authorities must retain their current powers, as outlined in amendment 1. As we have heard, each area is different. In my constituency we are fortunate to have the Loddon and Whitewater chalk stream rivers nurturin

1 Jun 2025Decriminalising Abortion

It is a pleasure to serve with you in the Chair, Mr Vickers. I thank the Petitions Committee for selecting this timely topic for debate. From my experience running a women’s refuge and serving on the Women and Equalities Committee, I have seen how our criminal justice system disproportionately lets down vulnerable wome

1 Jun 2025Decriminalising Abortion

I absolutely agree; that is a fear that I share. Nicola went to hospital to seek care, but was instead passed to the police. She was charged with carrying out an illegal abortion, a nightmare that lasted four and half years before she was acquitted unanimously by a jury. These incidents reflect a system that increasing

1 Jun 2025Decriminalising Abortion

I thank the hon. Member for her intervention, but I do not agree. To overcome the fear and anxiety that many women face when seeking medical support, we must instead build a society rooted in compassion and centred on safe, supportive healthcare, where such healthcare is treated as part of women’s services, and not tre

21 May 2025Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 867)

That is devastating, but very interesting.

Very quickly, and then I will need to move on.

21 May 2025Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 867)

Thank you, that is very helpful. Given the sharing and cross-platform nature of how this works, would you say that it is not just difficult to ban content from influencers, but it is impossible to do?

21 May 2025Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 867)

Lisa, just coming back to you very quickly, if a content creator is demonetised, can that content creator and the platform continue to earn money directly or indirectly from that content?

21 May 2025Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 867)

Essentially, it is intention followed by resource?

21 May 2025Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 867)

Fabulous, thank you. Janaya, if I could come to you. Is demonetisation effective or does misogynistic content need to be removed altogether?

22
21 May 2025Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 867)

That leads me very nicely to the final question. Briefly, what other policies or legislation do you think need to be enacted by the Government in order to address the harm of the manosphere? If you could pick one thing, what would it be?
