Speeches by Jardine.

“Q13. I associate myself with the comments of my party leader about Lord Wallace, a man whom I was privileged to know. Conversations are taking place in the Chamber today and up and down the country about Peter Mandelson and his involvement with the paedophile who trafficked women. Given that millions of women, particul…”

“I echo the remarks made in the House this evening that it might be time for criminal proceedings to take place. When the Government have made such a totem of tackling violence against women and girls, it is important that they are seen to stand up for women and girls on this matter, and to encourage everyone mentioned …”

“This is maybe going into it too deep, but what percentage of women who have been through the process, including through egg retrieval and so on, do you keep track of? How many keep in touch, and how many let you know? How big is that database per capita, if you like?”

“I should probably refer you to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests before I say anything. Giulia, something you said prompted me to think about the health implications of egg donation. You talked about retrieval and a woman not having the same reserve of eggs. I know IVF and egg retrieval are now h…”

“The Minister referred to there being hospitality businesses in every corner of this country. Unfortunately, the change in business rates does not help hospitality businesses in every corner of this country because business rates are devolved in Scotland and Wales, and the businesses in my constituency of Edinburgh West…”

“10. What steps he is taking to support hospitality businesses.”

“It has been brought to my attention by an employer in my constituency —a vape manufacturer—that there are products on sale in this country by importers that are either circumventing or exploiting loopholes in the legislation. They are selling vapes that are big puffs and break the regulations. They are rechargeable but…”

“One last thing—we may have covered this—is the aftercare provided to women after egg donation and freezing by clinics. Are you all confident that it is sufficient?”

“Given what you have all said about longitudinal studies, the psychological impact and the health impact, do you think that clinics can be confident that they are obtaining informed consent? With this lack of longitudinal research on impact, and now this anonymity aspect, can you be sure that the consent is completely i…”

“Petra, do you have anything to add on the physical health aspects?”

“Do you think there is a lack of long-term studies on the impact of egg donation on donors physically? We have talked about the psychological impact, but what about in health terms?”

“Anyone else?”

“I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in the debate. At the moment, I advise that there should be an informal time limit of five minutes.”

“Before I call the final Back-Bench speaker, I should say that I would like to call the first Front-Bench spokesperson at 28 minutes past 3.”

“I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I will call Luke Taylor to move the motion, and then I will call the Minister to respond. I remind other Members that they may make a speech only with prior permission from the Member in charge of the debate and from the Minister. As is the convention for 30-minute debates, there will be no opportunity for the Member i…”

“According to a report this morning from the Jobs Foundation, the energy sector in north-east Scotland is on a cliff edge, with Robert Gordon University estimating that 400 jobs will be lost every two weeks. Given the importance of that sector not just to Aberdeen or Edinburgh West but to the Scottish and UK economies, …”

“I remind Members to bob if they wish to be called to speak. I will call the Front Benchers at eight minutes past 5, so will Members please keep their speeches to about two and a half minutes each?”

“Order. I am sorry, but to get everyone in we will have to go down to two minutes each.”

“Thank you very much, we managed to get everybody in. I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson, Marie Goldman.”
