Speeches by Brewer.

“The hon. Gentleman talks effusively about the benefits of our biggest trading partner, Europe, and the disaster of Brexit. Does he agree with me that we should be forging a new customs union as soon as possible?”

“10. What steps he is taking to improve relations with the EU.”

“Given that Brexit has left a £90 billion hole in the UK’s tax revenues and that small business owners in my constituency of North East Hampshire are telling me that the last two Budgets have been “catastrophic” for them, why are the Government not pursuing a bespoke UK-EU customs union to cut red tape, boost economic g…”

“That is interesting. Tori, if I could just come back to you for my last question briefly. What do you think the role of the NHS and/or Government should be in the femtech space so that we can start ensuring efficacy, data privacy and this inclusive approach, this health equity approach?”

“To follow on from that, would you share concerns that the femtech sector is not drawing sufficiently on racially diverse data? Does that then have an impact on exacerbating health inequalities, for instance?”

“That is really interesting. Thank you. Sometimes the old-fashioned analogue way is the best way to go. Tori, I wonder if I can come to you at this point and ask about the potential for young people using femtech trackers as contraception and that then potentially leading to unwanted pregnancies. Is that something that …”

“This is absolutely fascinating. In the interest of time, I am just going to ask different questions to one person only. To start, Nighat, can I just ask you, do you think that girls and young women using period trackers—as a group we have mentioned period trackers already—have enough information to effectively choose o…”

“Is there a risk that focusing on women’s health hubs means that that the primary care side might fall short?”

“Nandi, the Race and Health Observatory has said that in implementing hubs, consideration has to be given to how race plays a role in shaping reproductive health outcomes, and you have talked about that a little already. What might that look like in terms of delivering the hub services?”

“This is very interesting. Katharine, we are seeing widespread support for the women’s health hub model as a local one-stop shop for female health, but what services should be included in the hubs and how could they be delivered most effectively?”

“I am interested in exploring suitability of service a little more. It seems that in more rural areas, perhaps, where you do not have a big conurbation, there is a real risk that there is less financial incentive to put in a hub and so on. Particularly for younger women and girls who maybe cannot drive, that might be a …”

“T5. In North East Hampshire, small energy-intensive businesses such as hair salons are struggling, because they cannot reduce their consumption. What plans does the Minister have to support those kinds of small businesses?”

“As I am sure the hon. Member knows, chalk streams are among the rarest habitats in the world. This is not the first time I have mentioned them in this Chamber. Only 11 of the more than 200 chalk streams are protected, and even those 11 are in decline. The problems are over-abstraction, significant pollution and inappro…”

“Could we go to the actual real money?”

“Just before we do that, can I just ask a follow-up on the Christian nationalism? Misbah, would you say that this is adding a veneer of morality to arguments that are sometimes illegal in terms of racial abuse and so on but are considered unacceptable by a lot of people? Is that something that is helpful to the far righ…”

“You talked about a cap on political donations, and I can see from the answer you have just given how difficult that might be to implement, or how easy it might be to get around. Would it make sense to have a cap on political spending?”

“Moving to far-right funding, Peter, I know you have touched on this already, and so I do not want to go over that ground. Who or what is funding the far right at the moment? What do we know about the nature and scale of the funding?”

“We are going to get to crypto in a minute.”

“I might be able to anticipate the answer to this, but to what extent do political finance rules in the UK ensure that the funding of far-right groups is transparent?”

“You have mentioned about individuals not being covered by political finance legislation. Does this create challenges in who is being influenced or not, and funded or not?”
