Speeches by Fleet.

“That brings me on perfectly to the next question. What are the consequences for practitioners who operate outside the regulatory framework and administer these unsafe procedures?”

“What changes would you like to see to current regulations and practices in the UK?”

“To what extent are viable businesses overlooked because they are in sectors that male investors might not understand or value, such as beauty or femtech?”

“This seems like a good question for Izzy. How easy is it for female entrepreneurs to access angel investment and get the right support for their business?”

“How easy is it for women to become angel investors, and what can be done to encourage more women to come forward?”

“Devie, why do female-led businesses in fintech secure less funding at lower valuations, despite comparable business performance with male-led companies?”

“What could be done to address this?”

“Roni, what specific challenges have you faced in starting and sustaining a business in a male-dominated sector?”

“Bolsover is one of only 15 constituencies in the whole of England to be without a sixth form. Our incredible and inspiring young people live in small towns and villages, and they have to rely either on parents to give them a lift or on barely existent public transport. One village, Morton, has just had its bus service …”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Gedling (Michael Payne) for securing this debate. I can assure him that potholes are as bad in Conservative-run Derbyshire as they are in Nottinghamshire. Our area has been shut out of the conversation around economic growth for too long. I am excited to see the change with a Labou…”

“We have no idea how many people in Bolsover this issue affects, because the very nature of it means that they cannot speak to me about it as their MP. The Can’t Buy My Silence campaign has found that the issue affects five times as many women as men, so does my right hon. Friend agree that addressing it has to be consi…”

“It is an honour to be here today as the first MP to represent Bolsover who is a woman. [Hon. Members: “Hear, hear!”] Thank you. I am surrounded by fantastic women not only here, but in Bolsover—women who run businesses and nurture our next generation, such as foster carer Sonja Dayson in Creswell, women who inspire us …”

“Women are over-represented in informal and vulnerable employment. Does my hon. Friend agree that the protections afforded in the Employment Rights Bill are really important for those women?”

“I thank my hon. Friend for her intervention. I am proud to be part of a Government who have set out an unprecedented ambition to halve violence against women and girls, but what I want us to think about on this day is how we tell our story. I have spoken publicly about giving birth after being the victim of statutory r…”

“We estimate that around 10 babies are born every day in the UK as a result of rape, but there is no acknowledgement of it on any Government website. As part of an earlier evidence session, we recommended that the women’s health strategy for England should include guidance for women who conceive and give birth as a resu…”

“Special educational needs provision across Derbyshire is dire. I am thrilled that my hon. Friend the Member for Amber Valley (Linsey Farnsworth) has secured the debate, but I am horrified that special educational needs provision is so awful that it has come to the attention of Parliament. To those who live in Barlborou…”

“Thank you for the work you are doing to halve violence against women and girls. You have already covered my first question, on what measure you are going to use, the timeline and how you are working cross-departmentally, so thank you for that. How will the target to halve violence against women and girls will be affect…”

“On the court backlogs, a constituent came to me—she had had her case postponed so many times, and each time she tried to take her life. What are we doing to make sure that the existing backlog does not affect women who have faced the most traumatic crime?”

“You might have to come back to us on this one as well, which is absolutely fine. Women report having to hide the crimes of men, because if they tell the truth that the conception was a result of rape, for example, the man says they will demand access to the child, and there is nothing stopping them doing that, whether …”

“Finally, how are you working with the Home Office to tackle misogyny in the police, in terms of both misconduct and improving the handling of cases of violence against women and girls?”
