Speeches by Jardine.

“Have you complied with any of them?”

“I have been overwhelmed by the number of constituents who have written to me over the past two weeks about the situation in the Gulf. They are of course concerned about their energy bills and the cost of living, but overwhelmingly they are outraged at the actions of all the actors in this conflict—Iran, Israel and the …”

“9. Whether she plans to increase the level of funding available to agricultural industries.”

“Edinburgh West may not seem like the most rural constituency, but we have several critical agricultural businesses in the seat, including the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston and a number of businesses that are diversifying into agritourism. There is funding available, but it is often unclear how to get it or how to …”

“I will have to call the first Front Bencher at 3.28 pm.”

“Order. I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in the debate. Unfortunately, if they were not here at the start, I am not sure that I will be able to get them in.”

“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…”

“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?”

“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…”

“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…”

“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?”

“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?”

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