Speeches by Taylor.

“Road haulage companies in my constituency have reported huge delays as a result of the introduction of the EU entry-exit system—delays that are costing them time and money. Will the Minister meet me and those in the freight and logistics sector to find solutions?”

“I have long advocated for Warwickshire to be served by two unitary councils, so I am absolutely delighted that the Secretary of State has listened. It is the model that is rooted in our place-based, problem-solving approach. It makes the most sense for the way people access local services, and it gives my constituents …”

“I joined the Old Meeting church in the centre of Bedworth earlier this summer to celebrate the 300th anniversary of its wonderful building. The church provides a friendly warm space every Friday where everyone can get a great lunch and a good cuppa for a reasonable price, and a repair café every month where people can …”

“First, may I thank all the House staff, particularly those leaving us this year, and pay tribute to my wonderful team? I could not do this job without them and the work they do for my constituents in North Warwickshire and Bedworth. Sir David was known throughout this House for the pride he took in his constituency. I …”

“Alison, could you describe the work you do to support employers to provide flexibility for people with Down’s syndrome?”

“Thank you all for joining us today. It is a very hot day and London has been difficult to navigate so we really appreciate you being here, and Clare for joining us online. It is always difficult when we have big panels as people feel they need to get in on the first question. You do not; you will all have your opportun…”

“James, is there anything you want to add?”

“The things that you are talking about on those first jobs on the ladder are really crucial because they could keep disabled people out of work for long periods of time.”

“Patricia or Clare, do you want to come in?”

“Alison, as we have already seen, flexibility is not a one-size-fits-all. Can you describe how disabled people’s needs for flexibility can be very individualised?”

“Clare, I imagine that is similar for the people you represent.”

“T5. The average wait for an endometriosis diagnosis is more than nine years, often because women and girls are not listened to when they experience really painful periods. My constituent Insha waited for over a decade, only to be told that she could face a three-year wait for specialist surgery. What plans do the Gover…”

“My constituents in North Warwickshire and Bedworth have been clear that Britain must secure its borders, enforce the rules and remove those with no right to remain here. They also recognise that Britain should continue to uphold our proud tradition of offering sanctuary to people genuinely fleeing war, persecution and …”

“I welcome the Minister’s reassurance that an announcement will be made this week. Two proposals have been put forward for reorganisation in Warwickshire; like my hon. Friend the Member for Burnley (Oliver Ryan), I put on record my support for the two-Warwickshire proposal, because it most accurately reflects how people…”

“At that time, we may have been umpiring some of the same matches.”

“Welcome to all you, and particularly Alison; we worked together as umpires and line judges, probably from when I joined in 1996 to when I stopped officiating in 2005, which was when your career really took off.”

“Do you think they are better at treating female umpires more fairly in, say, France, the US or Australia than they are in the UK?”

“I am sure you would probably agree that back then it was difficult to break through as a female umpire. You would go to a men’s tournament and never be given the same number of matches as the male umpires would.”

“Do you think that was different on the international scene? Was the first Grand Slam men’s final that you umpired in the UK?”

“Something that has concerned me is the pipeline of officials coming through. Is that going to be more challenging now we do not have line umpires at the major events?”
