Speeches by Jardine.

“This is fascinating. One thing we want to look at, which fits in with what we have done elsewhere, is how effective you think the current coaching qualifications are in covering and addressing women’s health issues. Where are the gaps? How could it be better?”

“It is a culture change within sports that would make the biggest difference. That is fascinating.”

“Hannah, just briefly, is there one improvement that you see that would change things? Better paternity leave?”

“Lisa or Hannah, did you have anything you wanted to add to that? Has your experience been the same?”

“Would you say it is the same in all sports? How does that affect the potential for staff development and your career development?”

“Thank you all very much for coming here. I am going to ask about the employment practices. How do you feel you compare in terms of job security, pay and parental leave provision with men in the same coaching positions in the same sports?”

“As we are talking about services and access, figures show that fewer than 31% of female serving personnel register as veterans, which makes it much more difficult for them to access services, particularly if they have faced problems such as violence or bullying in the armed forces. Does the hon. Member think that more …”

“Order. I remind Members to bob if they wish to be called. In order to get everybody in, we will have an informal time limit of three and a half to four minutes. I will call the Front-Bench speakers at 10.28 am.”

“A considerable number of parents in my constituency have written to me concerned about their children’s safety and online dangers. They welcome the Government’s consultation but are concerned about the timing, and they would like reassurances about how quickly the matter will be dealt with. In the meantime, does the Se…”

“I simply repeat that the House, surely, has a right to know when we are going to get the report. The ISC said that it was unhappy with the amount of WhatsApp messaging being used by the Government. The image being created among the public is that of a Government who are avoiding the issue and are incompetent, and that …”

“I welcome the statement because the issues that the Minister raises, particularly the antisemitism that we have seen grow exponentially and frighteningly in this country, and issues with the Chinese embassy, which are particularly relevant in my constituency, are concerns that we hear from our constituents all the time…”

“It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for York Central (Rachael Maskell). As I listened to His Majesty the King today, there was one part in his speech that reminded me of the Queen’s Speech in 2017, when I was first elected. The then Government promised that their priority would be “to secure the best possible de…”

“Happy St George’s day. Yesterday, in the statement, the Paymaster General was kind enough to say that he would look into the case of one of my constituents who is afraid that she will lose her house because she has no income and cannot get access to her civil service pension. However, I have several other affected cons…”

“15. What assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the delivery of the civil service pension scheme.”

“Exactly.”

“Entrepreneurs in femtech and women’s health can face significant levels of sexism and discrimination. What will the Government do, first, to tackle the systemic shadow banning of women’s health products on social media and, secondly, to address the discrimination these entrepreneurs face from the finance sector?”

“I am sorry to keep harping on about this but perhaps there is a material difference between wanting to grow and encourage female entrepreneurship and seeing it as part of the actual strategy, which I get, but not seeing that perhaps there is a greater need to focus more on female entrepreneurs than the rest of the econ…”

“Ministers, we have talked a lot about systemic change but what specifically are the Government doing to address the widening gender investment gap we see in high-growth sectors such as AI?”
