Speeches by Naish.

“Over the recess I met the Singh family, who run two pharmacies in my constituency. The family were clear that, despite improved funding, they are still struggling with overly complex funding formulas, delayed payments, high energy prices and drug shortages, among other challenges. However, the positive initiatives of P…”

“That is great. Thank you. I will just jump into the room. On the point about how programmes could better support women who have experienced violence or sexual violence, Stephanie, do you want to jump in?”

“I will come back to Hanin. You talked a little bit there and you might want to go into a bit more detail about the work that you have been doing specifically to help protect women and girls. I am interested in building on that. How do you think programmes could better support women and girls who have experienced sexual…”

“Is that an actual barrier to justice, or is that just a general indication that support for women and girls has slid? Do you see it as an actual barrier to—”

“I will come back to Fawzia. What barriers have you or others faced when seeking access to security and justice? Where have you seen and felt those barriers? We have talked about funding and a few other things there, but what is the real impact of that?”

“Fiona, the same question: how do you think the Government can make sure that more women and girls overseas are agents of change within their very difficult circumstances?”

“What more do you think the Government need to do to ensure that women and young girls can be agents of change within their own countries? You have given examples of women who have made it to that position. What more can we do to try to facilitate that from the UK?”

“I am happy for either of you to answer this first. How do you think the UK should adapt its approach, if at all, to women, peace and security given the emerging transnational threats to the agenda?”

“This is more related to the previous question. It is great that there is a commitment to Sudan, but there are a lot of displaced people who are moving into periphery countries. What is the commitment to recognising that in the support for surrounding geographies?”

“Broaden the horizons a little bit.”

“As chair of the APPG for fusion energy, it is not 10 years away, I can tell you that much.”

“The Minister describes something that I am extremely passionate about, as he knows, but it is a very top-down approach. I wonder whether we simultaneously need a bottom-up approach that engages with communities via local authorities in order to look at what land is available and how it could be used. Is that not someth…”

“On the point about accountability, the hon.

That included a ban on the local democracy reporting service. Does …”
