Speeches by Entwistle.

“You touched on it there, but are you able to give a sense of what your initial workload might look like given that CIISA is already committed to helping people with historical cases?”

“Thank you so much for making that very clear; that is really useful and really important. Has anyone already been in touch with you wanting to make use of CIISA’s upcoming services?”

“Thank you, Chair. Jen, my first question is for you. Could you briefly update the Committee on where CIISA is in terms of its development and launch?”

“Are there any major organisations that have not provided the level of funding commitment that you have sought?”

“What are some more common ways in which this poor behaviour occurs? Do certain settings pose more of a risk—for example, areas where alcohol and drugs are present? Laura, you alluded earlier to the idea of backstage and how business is not done in rooms and things like that; you have very different settings. Are there …”

“Are you saying that it depends on where you are in terms of the hierarchy within the industry?”

“My next question is for Celeste. In your experience, to what extent does the way in which the music industry works allow powerful men to pressure women not to speak out about their bad behaviour? Is it something that you are aware of? I might know the answer to that. If so, how does it happen?”

“What commitments have the Government made to address some of those legal impediments?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Western. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Washington and Gateshead South (Mrs Hodgson) on securing this important debate. We come together today with a shared purpose to champion equity, opportunity and the unshakeable belief that every child deserves the b…”

“I associate myself with the remarks of the Leader of the House about welcoming a long-overdue ceasefire. My constituent Dr Ryann Sowden has been working tirelessly to support survivors of that crisis. I commend the Bolton Council of Mosques for its unwavering advocacy of peace. The House should reflect that determinati…”

“Did anybody else have anything to add on that?”

“Just one final point, and can I just say thank you to you all, and Irene, for sharing your experiences and your data? It is really, really valuable. I attended an event last year for an organisation called the Women’s Faith Forum, and at that event a colleague shared how some Sikh girls felt a bit too afraid to go into…”

“Absolutely. The next question from me is around the variety of bans that we have been seeing across Europe and other nations, around things like face coverings, for example. Do we know what effect this has had on women in those countries, and have bans on forms of dress in other countries affected how Muslim women feel…”

“There are a couple of things I wanted to touch on. First, although it is not Islamophobia as such, is there evidence in your experiences of Muslim women being harassed from within their own communities, for example, by not conforming to community norms?”

“We have mentioned self-censoring; are there any other impacts that gendered Islamophobia has on women and girls?”

“We have touched on this already, but from your perspectives, to what extent is the visibility of Muslim women a factor in their targeting?”

“In relation to the stats you shared around reporting, I just wanted to know if, from your research, you found a correlation between the representation of the local police force and the rates of women coming forward to report? Is there a link that we could use?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Furniss. I thank my hon. Friend the hon. Member for Dudley (Sonia Kumar) for tabling such an important debate on a topic that affects us all in so many different ways in daily life. I declare an interest as a member of the Women and Equalities Committee and I want to t…”

“Q5. I associate myself with the Prime Minister’s remarks and wish everyone a very happy Christmas, but for many of those in temporary accommodation in my constituency and across the country it will not be a happy Christmas. On the Tories’ watch, temporary homelessness more than doubled, so what are the Government doing…”

“So I presume the more important argument would be the emphasis on the retention of non-digital services?”
