Speeches by Frith.

“Do you know the cost to drive that final list of outcomes? Is it a net growth outcome as a result, or does it cost as much to achieve?”

“It clearly speaks to the cross-departmental point that Sarah was making. Andy?”

“On the Government’s strategy for harder-to-reach communities and the inequality argument, what interventions have proven most successful in this strategy, or in your view before this one?”

“Can we learn from the legacy of things like parkrun? Is it to let things spring out of nothing, from a distance? A lot of hard work will have gone into it. What can we learn from those more community-based or entrepreneur-based activities that have completely taken over, and brilliantly so? And yet, you could see a sce…”

“I am about to do my first HYROX competition, so it is nice to get a shoutout for HYROX.”

“Stephanie, you mentioned a powerful statistic that I did not manage to write down, so I will invite you to say it again—it was about the perception among boys of a certain age of the capabilities of girls and women to lead. Has there been any research into that? Is that a covid thing? Is it the explosion of smartphones…”

“On the point about the underserved and using capacity that is dormant but not used, is a lot of that the challenge of the school, and the requirement for a critical mass of interest from outside school to justify opening hours, to justify the cost? Do some of the costs that you cover include the man hours required to o…”

“Good morning, and thank you for coming in. Moving on to sport strategy and understanding what a new strategy might contain, the new Government have not yet confirmed whether they intend to continue with the Get Active sports strategy brought in by the last Government. In assessing that, what was effective in the strate…”

“I will make some progress. The right hon. Gentleman has said plenty already, and he came in only halfway through the debate. I am proud to stand on the Labour side of the House as someone who has founded a business, run businesses for others and run my own business. Fifteen years ago, I made a commitment to be the voic…”

“A member since you were five years old!”

“I have had conversations with the vast majority of them. They support the general emphasis—[Interruption.] Actually, if the right hon. Gentleman has been listening, he will know that the argument I am making is that on much of the proposed legislation—giving rights on day one, being fair minded, making work pay—they ar…”

“If the right hon. Member listens, he will hear. From my entry, Members will see that I am a proud member of the GMB and that my donations include those from entrepreneurs and businesspeople alike who are collectively sick of the 14 years of the Conservative Government. I will take no lessons from that party, given its …”

“I draw Members’ attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests—”

“I put on record my thanks to the Minister for his leadership and the work he has done, particularly in keeping us abreast of the ongoing situation. It is right that the UK takes concrete steps to support peace, including through the revitalising of the Abraham accords, which are about normalisation of relations. Does t…”

“May I first wish the Leader of the House a happy International Women’s Day for Saturday? My constituent Chris is among many people affected by the loan charge, which applies to “disguised remuneration” schemes. While everyone should pay their fair share of tax, many, like Chris, used these schemes in good faith when th…”

“I thank the Minister for her diligent response to the debate. Is it reasonable for my constituents to hope that, within the next four and a half years—a single Parliament of this Labour Government—things will have progressed, rather than being simply being rehearsed and repeated? Her response has been sincere, but do t…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Allin-Khan. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Hyndburn (Sarah Smith) for securing this important debate. This topic is close to the hearts of hundreds of my constituents, and therefore close to my heart. On the doorsteps during the election campaign, and during …”

“rose—”

“Can I add my voice to those around the country who have said how proud they are of our British Prime Minister, and how proud they are to be British? He has led from the front, and I hope very much that in the weeks and months to come, he will hold that in mind and strengthen his resolve as we move forward. He has alrea…”

“I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this important debate. She speaks to the heart of the issue. It is often only people with the means, resources and time who can become experts in the service they are trying to access, a right that is enshrined in the Children and Families Act 2014. Will she join me in encourag…”
