Speeches by Jardine.

“I wondered about something you were saying about the fact it was made by Netflix, and all the international money that needs to be raised now. As you said, PSBs are being squeezed in this country. Should we be looking more to the public service broadcasters to have more of a responsibility to make dramas that are thoug…”

“So, “them and us” is already there?”

“Is there a perception among young men, or among society generally, that mainstream politics is unaware or ignoring these? Do you think that is true?”

“Yes, and ethnicity.”

“Is there a difference, or have you detected any difference when it comes to ethnicity or class in the issues that are facing young men and boys and maybe how they react?”

“Matt, we have talked a lot about the online challenges, but are there other key challenges that maybe young men and boys face today? How are they different from previous generations? Do they feel that maybe those things are being ignored by the mainstream in politics?”

“Daniel, what role do fathers play in showing a positive version of masculinity?”

“I confess, I came up through public service broadcasting.”

“The subtitles do not work the same way.”

“There has been a lot of political reaction to it. Did that surprise you? What are you hoping that that political reaction—if you are hoping—might eventually lead to?”

“Do you think it possibly needs a more structured debate around it in schools?”

“First, apologies for coming in late. Can I say how much I enjoyed the programme? I found it incredibly thought-provoking. The Prime Minister said that as a father watching the show with his teenage son and daughter, it hit home hard. After he said that, it was made free for viewing in UK secondary schools. Emily, schoo…”

“13. What steps he is taking to support job creation in the renewable energy sector.”

“I hear what the Secretary of State is saying, but Scotland’s declining oil and gas industries have lost 40% of their jobs in the past decade, and today Grangemouth has warned that it may have to pause important projects involving a switch to greener and more sustainable forms of energy because of what it describes as s…”

“I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in the debate. I call John Milne.”

“I associate myself with the Secretary of State’s comments about the death of Pope Francis. In a rare consensus, I agree with much of what has been said by both the Secretary of State and the shadow Secretary of State. Many universities are extremely concerned about the funding situation. Many of my constituents who are…”

“I thank the Secretary of State for advance sight of her statement. Of course, I respect the independence of the Supreme Court and the ruling it has made, interpreting the law as it stands, just as I respect the concerns of many women, and the now increased fears of the LGBT community. I also respect what the Minister h…”

“Does the right hon. Member agree that there is a wider issue at stake: our energy security and national security? We have seen what can go wrong with a Chinese company that we do not trust, and we see Chinese influence increasing in other vital sectors, particularly our energy industry. Should that not underline our co…”

“Very briefly, I am just intrigued, Dr Marks, because you said that one of the things you discovered in your research was that women were less likely to be able to earn more money by becoming entrepreneurs. Is that less likely than men? What do you attribute that to? Do you think it is something to do with our ambition …”

“How do we tackle that? That is a whole different scale of problem. You are helping women become entrepreneurs, but actually, you are not helping them to earn anymore. Does that go back to education? How do we get women into the areas where they are going to make more money as entrepreneurs, rather than just accept it?”
