Speeches by Jardine.

“I wonder if there are any key points that each of you would like the Government to bear in mind, or that you have learned that could be important?”

“I welcome much of what the Secretary of State has said, and I am delighted that she has assured us that there will be discussions with the Scottish Government about plans for Scotland. Throughout the past two or three years, businesses in my constituency have told me that they are concerned that they cannot get people …”

“In the two weeks since the Budget, several GP practices in my constituency of Edinburgh West, including my own, have contacted me with their genuine fears that the impact of the changes to national insurance employer contributions will threaten their ability to continue to offer the public the same standard of health s…”

“Q1. If he will list his official engagements for Wednesday 13 November.”

“Data shows us that women of colour face disproportionate rates of homicide and that adults of black, black British or mixed ethnicity are more likely to experience sexual assault than those of white, Asian or other ethnicities. These challenges are just as common when it comes to domestic abuse. Those people are less l…”

“Is it fair to say, from everything you have said, that you feel it is just as important that boys are part of these lessons as girls?”

“With regard to a previous answer, do the Government need to change their approach to women’s health? I cannot speak for the Government, but I think I can say quite conclusively that since we have had more women in Parliament, we have been more aware, and we have seen some very high-profile campaigns—Carolyn Harris’s ca…”

“Just to drill down on that a wee bit, we have specifically talked a lot about misunderstanding endometriosis and how period pain can lead to endometriosis, and getting that information quickly. At what age do you think children should start to be taught about the health conditions that can affect girls and women, as op…”

“T1. If he will make a statement on his departmental responsibilities.”

“The price cap rise, winter fuel payment cuts, higher standing charges and lower temperatures are all things that my constituents in Edinburgh West—particularly my pensioners—are coming to me with concerns about. What is the Secretary of State planning to do to work with Ofgem and the energy companies to come up with a …”

“Listening to everything you have said, I wonder the extent to which the Online Safety Act 2023 is effective, but the legal system really has to catch up with the sophistication of what it is dealing with. Sophie, your answer about deepfakes especially made me think we have a lot to learn. Is that a fair assumption?”

“Are perpetrators who are convicted of NCII abuse required to hand over or delete the content?”

“Would it be accurate to say that classing it as illegal content could be critical?”

“David, what difference would it make if adult non-consensual intimate images were classed as illegal content in the way that child sexual abuse material is?”

“You have answered my next question to a certain extent, which was going to be to what extent do UK-based platforms take the content down? You are saying it is about 90%. Without naming names, are there platforms that are more effective than others that you can rely on more to take the content down?”

“I would just refer the panel to my entry in the Register of Members’ Interests. David, are the Online Safety Act 2023 and Ofcom’s related powers enough to require platforms with a UK presence to proactively remove NCII content?”

“15. What steps she is taking to support survivors of domestic abuse and violence against women through the criminal justice system.”

“The Scottish Government recently decided against including misogyny in their Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021, but we know how pernicious and widespread misogyny is, especially in the context of domestic abuse. Just 6% of all offences are reported, and there are even lower rates for rape and sexual assau…”

“Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I can sympathise with the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon), and I thank him for tabling the urgent question, because we consistently have the same problem at Edinburgh and other Scottish airports, with a lack of connectivity and the disruption that that causes. I understand that…”

“I was listening very carefully to what the hon. Lady said about her experience as a practice manager. Over this past weekend and the last two days, I have been contacted by local practices in my constituency that are concerned about the impact of the national insurance changes on their ability to provide patient care a…”
