Speeches by Jardine.

“T6. A Ukrainian family that we managed to reunite visited my office on Friday. During the conversation, it became clear that they are concerned for the future of Ukraine, given the war in the middle east and the US now loosening the sanctions on Russia. What representations have been made to the American Government to …”

“May I associate myself with the remarks of the Leader of the House and the shadow Leader of the House about the anniversary of Dunblane? Many of us in this place have pensioner constituents abroad, and the 90% of them who are in the Commonwealth had their pensions frozen from the point at which they left. This is an is…”

“Something you said resonated with me, because in a media interview recently, I was asked about one political party’s plans to do away with the Equality Act 2010 because it does down working-class boys and men. We are seeing that increasingly in the political arena. I would not disagree with what you said about it origi…”

“Mr Blake said that he thinks some young men who were in the manosphere were repeating things they did not genuinely believe. Does that apply to the entrepreneurs as well? Do they genuinely believe what they are saying, or is it just a way to make money?”

“You have talked about how influencers are actually entrepreneurs. How are they selling? How do they make their money? What are they physically selling that they get money from? How do they do it?”

“There are no spoilers left.”

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

“Can the Minister tell us what modelling those in the Home Office have done in respect of whether these visa bans will actually affect the backlog of refugee and asylum seekers? Have they looked at the impact on local services in constituencies such as mine? People running care homes have told me that they are losing vi…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Alec, for the first time. My hon. Friend has touched on training and the need for awareness. One issue is that very often even people with type 1 diabetes, because of the lack of awareness, are not aware of the symptoms as they begin to react or their insulin is very …”

“I appreciate everything the Minister has said and thank him for the information on this, but in his statement, he did not mention the many thousands of British citizens affected in places outwith the Gulf. I have constituents in Sri Lanka who cannot get home, and they have said that they cannot get any consular assista…”

“Do you think donor recruitment is more difficult in Scotland without the compensation?”

“Professor Martins Da Silva, could you explain how egg donation differs in Scotland compared with the rest of the UK and the reasons for this difference?”

“Do you think it is having an impact on waiting times for people accessing treatment?”

“Professor Martins Da Silva might actually have covered this. I do not ask this question with any judgment or in any pejorative way, but when we were talking about egg sharing you mentioned that you were ethically uncomfortable with it because it might incentivise people to share eggs in order to be able to afford IVF. …”

“Is it an area where we need more harmonisation of the regulations across the UK?”

“I thank everyone who has taken part in the debate and spoken so movingly and powerfully about their own experiences and the experiences of those they have spoken to. I also thank the Minister for laying out the steps that the Government are already taking to move towards the better understanding and support that we hav…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered Government support for bereaved children. First, I thank the Backbench Business Committee and all those who supported my application for the debate, not just on my behalf because we have the opportunity to discuss this issue, but for many thousands of children and young peo…”

“I am from Edinburgh West. First, a key concern outlined to the Committee in its inquiry last year was the lack of venture capital funding going to female founders and the systemic sexism in the sector. Are there any signs of improvement?”

“Tara, there was criticism last year of Innovate UK, which then brought forward a number of commitments to improve support for female founders. Are you happy with those changes? Is there anything else you would like to see Innovate UK do?”

“I thought you were going to say, “It’s now or never.””
