Speeches by Jardine.

“2. What discussions she has had with stakeholders on teenagers’ use of social media.”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered the potential merits of fast-track visas for skilled US citizens. It is a pleasure to serve with you in the Chair, Ms Lewell. I would like to share an email I recently received: “All I’m asking for is a direction to march in, as I am in fact a refugee seeking asylum from a …”

“I completely agree. We need a system that allows people to come here—not just from the United States, but more generally. People in the United States have the skills we need in the industries that so much of our economy will be dependent on: artificial intelligence, cancer research, pharmacology, science and the growin…”

“I completely agree. There is a danger to our international reputation, as well as our economy, if we become somewhere people cannot trust that. If they make the life-changing decision to come here, invest in our country, work for our economy, and contribute through tax and national insurance, we should not turn around …”

“In Australia, the Government are playing a game of whack-a-mole as they struggle to keep up with young people switching between social media sites and new apps that have just been brought on board. I have spoken to people in the industry here and to parents who say that a blanket ban is not working. Will the Government…”

“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 should mention up front that my family are involved in the creative industries in various different ways. They are good people, though. Jen, it has been a year since you were last before the Committee. Earlier, you touched on development and how various services are coming along. Could you give us an update on the pr…”

“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 …”

“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?”

“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…”

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

“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…”

“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…”

“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.”
