Speeches by Jardine.

“Dr Holliday, how significant do you feel the mental health impact can be on patients who maybe experience complications following a procedure or are unhappy with the outcome?”

“You have referred to that story a few times today; it has made an impression on us all. That was the specific circumstance I was thinking about: someone who has that sort of experience and surgery goes wrong. At the moment, do you think that the long-term care is there for them afterwards? Is it sufficient or insuffici…”

“Dr Rowland Payne, is there adequate long-term psychological support or follow-up care for individuals who might experience regret, complications or worsening mental health after a procedure?”

“The Foreign Secretary has referred to protections in terms of energy companies, but when it comes to Mingyang and Orient Cable in the highlands and the North sea, the concern is not their ability to produce but their ability to switch off and on the network and our energy security and, as a result, national security. C…”

“As the MP for Edinburgh West, I welcome the Government’s continued commitment to the defence industries in which so many of my constituents work in the city. As the Liberal Democrat Scotland spokesperson, however, I also welcome what the Minister himself describes as a “critical” investment in the supercomputer at Edin…”

“We all, I believe, come to this place every day determined to improve not just our society, but the lives of those who live in it—our constituents. We want to give them more choice and opportunity, but we also have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and alleviate suffering. I do not believe that that responsibi…”

“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…”

“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…”

“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…”

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

“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…”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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. 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.”

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

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