Speeches by Jardine.

“Did anybody else want to add to that? It sounds very similar to what Dr Marks was saying about the potential to earn more as a woman.”

“University spin-outs are a critical pathway into entrepreneurship, but why do you think less than 9% of spin-outs are female-led? Dr Treanor.”

“I welcome the Minister’s reply to the urgent question, but I am sure he will forgive me when I say that we have heard all this before. There is a sense of hopelessness in this place at the downward spiral we seem to be on, but it must be nothing compared with the hopelessness being felt by the Gazans and also the Israe…”

“Although I cannot speak immediately for all Liberal Democrats, it puzzles us that the official Opposition do not seem to recognise that if they had legislated properly when we left the European Union, this legislation would not be necessary. Do they not accept any responsibility for where we are today?”

“Does the hon. Gentleman not agree that someone sitting at home watching this will be worried by the argument that it is more important to stick to some anti-EU dogma than it is to protect their children from dangerous products, or to keep dangerous electric bikes off the market and regulate for their safety?”

“14. What steps she is taking to help tackle people smuggling.”

“I thank the Minister for that response and welcome the increased co-operation with allies on this vital issue. It is critical that we stop the dangerous crossings, but without tackling the problem at its source, with aid to tackle famine and conflict and by providing safe legal routes, do we not risk the crisis continu…”

“T4. I recently spoke at a United Nations event hosted by the French that looked at how pornography and extreme content are contributing to misogynistic and toxic behaviour towards women. Will the Secretary of State tell us what proposals this Government have to implement the recent recommendations of the report commiss…”

“Because of the various interventions, we can now continue until 7.47 pm this evening.”

“I call Michelle Welsh to wind up briefly.”

“For eight years, I have seen how a young constituent has been able to completely control his previously life-threatening seizures with medicinal cannabis, but at huge cost to his family—a cost that is prohibitive for other people. Will the Secretary of State meet me to discuss how we can make access to such treatments …”

“I will call Chris Hinchliff to move the motion, and I will then call the Minister to respond. As is the convention for 30-minute debates, there will not be an opportunity for the Member in charge to wind up.”

“We have 42 minutes left for this debate. I call Liberal Democrat spokesperson Monica Harding to continue, please.”

“Because of our delayed start, the debate may now continue until 4.47 pm. I call David Mundell to move the motion.”

“Order. Our time is up; I am sorry. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered construction standards for new build homes.”

“Order. We have to move on to the Front Bench contributions in 12 minutes, so please keep your remarks to five minutes each.”

“We all know that life is more expensive for someone who is disabled, and that investing in mental health and social care would give disabled people the support that they deserve. Liberal Democrats believe that if the Government were serious about cutting welfare spending, they would get serious about fixing health and …”

“Order. I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in the debate and, if possible, keep to an informal five-minute time limit to allow everyone to get in. I call Edward Morello.”

“I call Luke Akehurst—please keep it brief, as you have had several interventions.”

“I am afraid we are out of time for Back Benchers now, but perhaps Brendan O’Hara would like to intervene on the Minister. I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”
