Speeches by Jardine.

“I thank the hon. Member for raising a very good point, which I will come to later. I agree completely; this has been particularly difficult for many people in the light of the crises we have faced in recent years, with the soaring cost of living and sky-high energy bills. This is what has happened to my constituents in…”

“The hon. Gentleman raises a very good point. This issue has affected all our constituents, in a different way. His is exactly the sort of point that I hope the Minister may be able to address. All the cases that we have mentioned show the impact that the remedy process has had on people who have dedicated their lives t…”

“As I say, these delays are having a significant impact on people’s lives.”

“I rise today to discuss an issue that I am sure affects not just my constituents in Edinburgh West but many of our constituents across the United Kingdom. Since 2018, thousands of civil servants, teachers, doctors, nurses, police officers and firefighters have been waiting for the compensation they are entitled to thro…”

“Did I pick you up correctly—that you think we need to redirect research to encourage it in a different direction?”

“The real problem is where to start. You talked about regulation having to start at the very top and that might start with us; we have to be aware of it. Presumably, there is a lack of awareness that we are just beginning to break into, but there is also a lack of awareness, whether it is deliberate or not, in the busin…”

“As Liberal Democrats, we have been concerned about the lack of a draft Bill on conversion practices, so I am relieved to hear what the Minister has said today. However, given the amount of fear and anxiety that there is among the trans community in this country, can she reassure the House that when the Bill comes forwa…”

“The Question is—[Interruption.] Order. The Member in charge does not have the right to wind up a 30-minute debate. Question put and agreed to.”

“Order. There is a Division in the House on the Crime and Policing Bill—the first of a number. We will suspend the sitting for 45 minutes.”

“I am sorry, but we have to put the Question quickly. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered Government support for disabled people in poverty.”

“I am sorry, but as we are now very short of time, I have to ask everybody to keep to a minute.”

“Order. I urge Members to keep as close to a minute as they can.”

“Order. I remind Members that if they wish to speak in the debate, they should bob. We have only 20 minutes before we have to move to the Front Benchers at 6.6 pm, so please keep speeches very brief or go for an intervention instead.”

“The Parliamentary Private Secretary is here, and the Minister has just arrived.”

“I thank the Foreign Secretary for his statement and welcome in particular the measures about bolstering our consular support. He has also made reference to our assets and the hundreds of thousands of British citizens in the wider region. What reassurance can he give us that their wellbeing is being thought about and th…”

“On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I do not think it matters how one is going to vote on this issue; a lot of us are finding it very frustrating that some Members seem to be deliberately hanging about in the Lobbies to delay the process. In order to get the Bill through and for the public to see that we are res…”

“Will my hon. Friend give way?”

“I thank my hon. Friend for giving way. I share with him concerns about the level and quality of palliative care in this country. However, I do not agree that giving people the choice to end their life, if they are terminally ill and have been diagnosed as dying shortly, in any way undermines our ability as a House to i…”

“If I could interrupt, Baroness Faulkner, my point is that the interim guidance does not guide: it lacks clarity and leaves people in complete limbo, not knowing what the Act means for them, and it is causing a great deal of anxiety. So how do you think that we can progress until we have addressed that, removed the anxi…”

“I was very interested in what you were saying about pitting two vulnerable groups against one another, which is what has happened: women and girls who feel attacked and vulnerable to violence, very often from men, and trans people who feel vulnerable in their lives all the time. Unfortunately, regardless of what your i…”
