Speeches by Swallow.

“I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for referring to our report to advance his argument. Would he be so kind as to read the next sentence?”

“Let me briefly recognise the point that my hon. Friend has just made. We cannot have immunity for one group and not another. The previous Government recognised that position—it was recognised in their Act—which is why their Act gave immunity to terrorists. Is that not the case?”

“Will the hon. Member give way?”

“I recently met Youthline, a fantastic mental health charity for young people in my constituency, and Berkshire Women’s Aid to talk about the effects of social media on young people’s mental health and their ability to form healthy relationships. Will my right hon. Friend commit to listening to the views of such organis…”

“I have been sceptical about this new embassy, but I take the points made today by Members on the Intelligence and Security Committee, as well as the response from GCHQ and MI5. I have also listened to my constituents, including the Bracknell Forest Hong Kong community, who tell me that they are concerned about the ongo…”

“rose—”

“I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way; he is being generous with his time. I have had constituents contact me about this issue. Many of them recognise the importance of fireworks as a great British tradition on fireworks night and other such nights, but they want more regulation around the times of year at…”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Minister for visiting my constituency last year, and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education for visiting last week, when she came to see an expanded school nursery at Uplands primary in Sandhurst. She took the opportunity to speak to some fantastic hard-working teachers, an…”

“We have already talked a little about the different pathways into teaching; it feels clear that if we are going to meet the Government’s ambitions of recruiting more teachers and more specialist teachers, we need as many routes into the profession as possible. What would you like to see done to increase those different…”

“Graihagh, I know the Government have chosen not to renew the funding for the Career Changers programme you oversee; what is the future of that pathway?”

“Hear, hear!”

“We will return to the 6,500 target, but I just wanted to come in on the back of what Daniel was talking about in terms of the particular challenge in retaining women teachers in their 30s. In some estimations, it is the biggest cohort leaving the profession. I will put it to the rest of the panel: what more can we do t…”

“What strikes me about that is how anyone who is using AI to improve their efficiency is using it to help take out some administrative burden but with the creative stuff still being very much human-led. That is very interesting.”

“We have already talked a lot this morning about teacher workload but I thought it would be helpful to really boil down to the specific challenges that are driving that. We often talk about teacher workload as a monolithic thing, but actually there are lots of specific challenges day-to-day that teachers are facing that…”

“I declare that I am the chair of the all-party parliamentary group for schools, learning and assessment, for which the NEU provides a secretariat.”

“That is really interesting to hear in the context of a Government who are about to set out some reforms to the SEND system. Obviously it is really important for young people themselves with those additional needs, but also for the teaching community. I wanted to ask specifically about AI, because there are those who su…”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairship, Mrs Harris. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr (Steve Witherden) for securing this very important and enlightening debate. Science and discovery centres have a crucial part to play in nurturing and developing curiosity and scientific endeavou…”

“For five years, against Russian aggression, Ukraine has been bravely defending not only its own border but the eastern flank of Europe. That means that security guarantees for Ukraine are also security guarantees for all of Europe. Given that, does my right hon. Friend share my concern at the leader of Reform today sug…”

“Bracknell Forest council has submitted a bid to the Heat Networks Delivery Unit for a feasibility study on a district heat network that would stretch across our town centre. Does the Minister agree that such schemes can support local businesses and residents in cutting emissions and bills?”

“Will my hon. and gallant Friend take this opportunity to welcome the 156 new recruits who started last week at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in my constituency? Those new recruits put the academy well on track to meet its recruitment targets for this year.”
