Speeches by Burton-Sampson.

“Would anyone like to address how those concerns could be addressed longer term? Clearly, as you said, it is not a big concern at the moment, but it could become one. What measures could be put in place to prevent it from becoming a concern? Petra, perhaps you could answer.”

“I am finding this fascinating; it is an area I know very little about, so thank you all for your contributions. To continue the topic of eggs from abroad, Nicky, is there sufficient oversight to ensure that eggs imported from abroad are ethically sourced? What are the risks of importing and exporting donor eggs?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Jeremy. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Leeds Central and Headingley (Alex Sobel) for securing the debate but, most importantly, for his significant commitment to the people of Ukraine and everything he does. It is great to see Members across the House continuin…”

“Like many Members across the House, I am on the armed forces parliamentary scheme, and I get to meet some incredible people through training, including people who are serving. They are totally committed and ready to serve this country when they may need to. Does my hon. Friend agree that this provision for decent housi…”

“Sue, what was discussed and what actions were taken forward as a result of the NHS England stakeholder meeting on women’s chronic and procedural pain held last November, and when are we likely to see any progress?”

“What is actually going to happen.”

“The fact that a pressure group was set up to lobby on this issue, and I have had groups come to meet me, says that this is quite a big problem.”

“It is lovely to see you both here again, and thank you for coming in. I am going to talk about pain, unfortunately. Why is the message not getting across to all healthcare professionals that severe pain is not normal or acceptable in relation to procedures such as laparoscopies or coil fittings?”

“One final question for both of you, relating to this whole topic of potential discrimination. Do we need some tougher actions to tackle unacceptable racist assumptions in this particular area?”

“That is really helpful. Dame Lesley, do you think there are any particular reasons why women are still being made to endure significant pain, despite clear guidance against it? Are there workplace pressures or is it simple medical misogyny, for example? Do we need greater accountability for healthcare professionals con…”

“Do you know when we could expect to be given an exact date? Do you know the timeframe for putting the timeframe in place?”

“Dame Lesley, in your last response you touched briefly on some experiences of black women. I have met some who have given me horrendous stories of the way they have been treated in terms of their expected level of pain tolerance during certain procedures, especially women-specific procedures. How prevalent do you think…”

“In my constituency, over 300 people have contacted me about this issue—100 just this year. I have also been aware of my own dog’s trauma over fireworks. However, there is another issue. What the hon. Gentleman is saying about reducing the decibel limit is the right way to go, but there is also the issue of safety. I wi…”

“Looking at the wider funding picture, a lot of funding traditionally came from local government, but I know now you also get funding from grant applications. I know OnSide work with local organisations as well to try to get funding. How is the picture looking for that at the moment, in terms of getting funding from oth…”

“Yes—the interesting topic of money. Lucy, can you outline the reduction of funding to youth services that you have seen since 2010 in the UK? Most importantly, what impact has that had on young people and community cohesion more widely? Could you focus on whether any particular groups have been more affected?”

“That is really helpful; thank you very much.”

“Do you have any particular comments on the impact that the cuts have had on cohesion in communities?”

“That is really helpful; thank you. Lara, how should responsibilities for funding, design and delivering youth services be shared between central and local government? In your experience, how well do different Government Departments such as the Department for Education and DCMS liaise on youth services?”

“I agree with my hon. Friend’s analysis. We have been left in this situation by the last Government, and this Government have the job of getting our universities back on to a good footing. I hope that they will do all they can to address her concerns. I have grave concerns about the impact that the closure will have on …”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Southend East and Rochford (Mr Alaba) for securing the debate. He knows that we both care passionately about this matter, especially given the impact that the closure of the Southend campus of Essex University will have on both our constituencies and our constituents. It is a great…”
