Speeches by Fenton-Glynn.

“I want to go back to the point about partners caring for each other and those circumstances, because this plays into the broader cost of not doing care properly. You talked about there being a significant impact on the health of the partner with the caring responsibility. In my experience as a cabinet member for social…”

“I appreciate I am asking you to speculate wildly, but I was just caught by the starkness of that. A case that one could make to the Treasury is that supporting young carers is even more vital, because otherwise you are setting them up for a career whereby they massively underperform against their earning potential, as …”

“I just want to draw you back to this young carer who is down 181% or £502 a month. That is the starkest statistic. I am perhaps asking you to speculate again, but one of the biggest indicators of having a higher-percentile income in your later life is having it in your early career. Looking at the data that you have pr…”

“I hear what you say about not wanting your daughter to see the negative side. I am sure that you would, conversely, say that spending time with and supporting people who you love is a privilege. We should understand that, but the job of society is to balance that and to make it easier and possible, which is one of the …”

“Yes, respite is something I have definitely seen a lot. Does that have a longer-term health impact on the caring partner?”

“Jayne, you talked a bit about how it impacts your ability to work. I assume that there is a bit of a read-across to the impact on the rest of your life.”

“Holly, looking back at your school experience, has it had an impact on that social side as well as your ability to participate more generally?”

“Thank you all for coming today. One of the things that we are trying to think about is the cost of the fact that the social care system does not do everything that it needs to. I want to just ask you all a bit about how it has impacted you personally, in terms of what you are able to do and how it gets in the way of ot…”

“In my council, one thing we found was that if you got in early, the rate at which people declined was much slower. There are also some things you can do early, such as assistive technology, with tracking watches and things like that. People would get used to them, even in the early stages of dementia, and then they wou…”

“Has the level of support always been bad? Has it got worse as council budgets have become more stretched?”

“I thank the hon. Member for Eastbourne (Josh Babarinde) for bringing forward this really important debate. I absolutely agree that more needs to be done in the family courts, and I welcome what has been done so far, but does my hon. Friend agree that we also need to look at the rules around presumption of contact, part…”

“I rise to speak about a Bill that will increase research funding focused on more effective treatments for rarer forms of cancer. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh South West (Dr Arthur) for introducing the Bill. Like many in this House, I rise today because I have lost a family member to a rare cancer, an…”

“Before I entered this place, I worked on poverty for the Child Poverty Action Group, Oxfam and Church Action on Poverty. Back in 2010, there was cross-party consensus that we should end child poverty. Gordon Brown referred to it as his guiding mission. Should we return to that time?”

“The case of the hon. Member’s constituent is a really interesting one, although I do not know the full details. However, sometimes when we get rid of a quango, it is a case of, “Be careful what you wish for.” One of the jobs I had before coming to this place was parliamentary officer for the Public and Commercial Servi…”

“I thank the Secretary of State for making the statement today. I want to echo the thoughts of the hon. Member for Oxford West and Abingdon (Layla Moran) that it would be helpful to see him in front of the Select Committee to outline his vision for NHS England. Will he tell us today how the new structure of the NHS will…”

“Does my right hon. Friend agree that in such cases there is no public interest and no interest for anyone, apart from guilty parties, to keep these things secret, and that that is why it is important NDAs are not used to hide problems that employers should sort out?”

“The hon. Member is making a powerful speech. I pay tribute to the people who have shared their experiences. Does she agree that the people we are talking about have means and support networks, and that without these protections the most vulnerable in society will be affected, which is why getting the laws right is so i…”

“Cross Lane primary school, Shade primary school, Brooksbank school, Calder high school, Todmorden high school and Walsden Saint Peter’s Church of England primary school are among 11 Calder Valley schools to be rebuilt under this Government, where the last Government failed. Will the Minister confirm that under this Gov…”

“Antisocial behaviour ruins lives. On Friday, I held an event at the Field Lane estate in Calder Valley, the first in a series of events across my constituency to listen to members of the community about antisocial behaviour, and their stories were heartbreaking. Families are being terrorised by problem residents, child…”

“I absolutely agree that the last Government failed people on tackling crime, particularly due to its hollowing out of the police. Indeed, in West Yorkshire alone, within just six years of the Conservatives taking office, over 1,200 police officers had been let go, and 1,000 of those were in frontline roles, leaving the…”
