Speeches by Taylor.

“3. What steps she is taking to help ensure that British Sugar agrees the terms of future sugar beet contracts with NFU Sugar.”

“A merry Christmas to you and all your staff, Mr Speaker. In the summer I visited Boultbees farm in Baxterley in my constituency, where I met Andrew and his team. Like all farmers who grow sugar beet, they are obliged to sell it to British Sugar, as the sole processor of British sugar beet in the UK. Common market organ…”

“For any victim of rape or sexual assault, to wait years for justice to be delivered is horrific. The mental toll on victims, who are unable to see their perpetrators have their day in court, is unimaginable. It is a stain on our justice system. Will the Solicitor General confirm that victims will be kept at the heart o…”

“My constituent Bryan Griffiths tells me that trail hunting in Warwickshire is often a smokescreen for illegal hunting, with devastating consequences for livestock. When will the Government start the consultation on the future of trail hunting?”

“A very merry Christmas to you, Madam Deputy Speaker. My constituent Sam is a fibre engineer. He spends his days climbing ladders, fixing lamp posts and repairing wi-fi for people across north Warwickshire. He has glycogen storage disease type Ia, which is a very rare liver disorder. Despite his GP and hospital consulta…”

“Thank you, Ruth. Margaret, do you want to add anything?”

“Thank you. Charlotte, is there anything else?”

“Thank you. Kate, do you think that the reforms have any long-term implications?”

“I will come to you first, Kate. Thank you for the wonderful event that your college put on last Friday. I was there to welcome my friend, Dr Alison Wright, as the new president of the Royal College—it really was a wonderful day. I want to talk about the women’s health strategy: looking to the future of that strategy; h…”

“Does that affect your service as well?”

“Thank you. Ruth, how concerned are you that the reforms—including the merger of NHS England into the Department and cuts to the ICB operating budgets—might impact efforts to improve menstrual and reproductive health?”

“That would be great, thank you. Ruth, is there anything you think needs to be included in the renewed strategy next year?”

“That is really helpful, thank you.”

“I thank my right hon. Friend for the care and sensitivity he has taken to this subject all along. It has been an undeniably difficult year for transgender people in Britain. I have spoken to young trans people who have been pushed to the brink of suicide by what they hear—that they do not have a right to exist, that th…”

“We had quite an extensive debate yesterday around trans healthcare. One thing that came up consistently, which I wanted to touch on with you, Margaret, is whether there are any guidelines for shared care, particularly where trans adults have been prescribed hormone treatments but GPs are not following that through with…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered the provision of healthcare for transgender people. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Turner. This debate is about healthcare for trans adults. I know that a lot has been said in this House in recent weeks about care for young people questioning their ge…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for sharing that experience. It reflects the reality for many trans young people and adults in the UK: discrimination from healthcare professionals, waiting lists stretching over years, a complete lack of local provision and a reliance on less well-regulated private providers. That is the state o…”

“As I welcome services for trans people, I also welcome services for those people who do not feel happy in the gender that they have acquired. That is only right, but we have to get all those services right. Trans people are now seeing their health outcomes worsen. Waiting times for gender-affirming healthcare are nothi…”

“My hon. Friend is absolutely right. Trans people are fearing for their lives in my constituency, in his constituency and in many others up and down this country. Let us imagine being told that the wait for a hip replacement or a cancer check was 224 years—it just would not happen. Some Members in this House might not w…”

“I will make some progress, if I may. I am part-way through something that a trans person said, so it is not an appropriate time to intervene. They went on to say: “I have personally used alcohol, cannabis, cocaine and self-harm to survive the last year and a half since referral and I have now been told I will have to w…”
