Speeches by Whittome.

“I just want to thank everyone so much for taking part in the debate. Everyone made incredibly powerful contributions, particularly my hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Tom Hayes). I hope that the Government—and, indeed, everyone—heed his words.”

“I thank the right hon. Member for that intervention. I agree with the points that he made, particularly because, from my constituency inbox, huge numbers of constituents are effectively evicted because landlords keep hiking their rents. That is why I back his call, and the calls of Sadiq Khan and Andy Burnham—our mayor…”

“The introduction of the two-child limit by the Conservatives in 2017 has had a devastating impact on child poverty rates. Every day, it affects 1.7 million children, with a loss of roughly £3,500 a year for affected families. A huge 17% of children in my constituency live in families subject to this inhumane and unjust…”

“The shadow Secretary of State must know that the vast majority of families in poverty include at least one adult in work. She asks how this Bill is being paid for. Well, it is being paid for by increased taxes on gambling giants. Would it not be more truthful to say that the hon. Lady is on the side of gambling giants …”

“Yes.”

“Are the safety standards and limits on stimulation cycles aligned with current evidence?”

“That is really interesting. What has been the impact of unregulated fertility services, such as online fertility treatments, on the safety and wellbeing of patients?”

“How does the UK regulatory framework differ from that of other countries? Are there different approaches in devolved nations? It would be good to hear from all of you.”

“Just the quite wide array of services that are available online but are not really regulated—in a general sense.”

“To what extent do you think the UK has got it right in terms of regulation? Are there areas where you think there should be changes? For example, do you agree with the regulator that the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act should be revised or amended to include more of an overarching focus on patient protection?”

“Timothy and Giulia, do you have anything to add?”

“It would be interesting to hear anything specific you can say on devolved nations.”

“It would be a general debate on LGBT+ History Month.”

“That’s okay; you cannot control when the Divisions are. Thanks so much, Chair, and thank you to the Committee for hearing our application. We are looking for a Backbench Business debate in the main Chamber to mark LGBT+ History Month, which is taking place next month, in February. This has been a regular feature of the…”

“Thank you very much.”

“If possible, 12 February.”

“I remind the House that puberty blockers are still prescribed to young people who are not trans; I do not see some of my colleagues who are so exercised when puberty blockers are given to young trans people expressing the same concerns for their cisgender peers. Even Dr Cass herself acknowledged that puberty blockers a…”

“I appreciate the range of things that the Government are doing on this, but the freezing of the local housing allowance is one of the main factors driving the crisis in temporary accommodation. According to Crisis, after years of freezes by successive Governments, only 2.7% of homes in Great Britain today would be affo…”

“Thank you, Minister, for all your time so far. The Government’s plan makes no mention of unfreezing local housing allowance except to say that it is “under review”. Given that black-led households are more likely to claim LHA, would raising LHA help to address the racial disparities in homelessness risk?”

“I can repeat it, because I know that I asked it in a few different parts. I asked whether you would support changes to the way that elective gynaecology appointments are prioritised.”
