Speeches by Taylor.

“Thank you, Minister, and thank you for attending today. I wanted to come back on one thing about the timescale. This Committee has heard some really horrific evidence of what has happened to people who have been given liquid BBLs and it is just a really direct question: how long are we going to have to wait before they…”

“The Conservatives hollowed out our communities and Reform is exploiting it, and yet this Government are helping communities like mine to thrive. We have already had the announcement of our £20 million in the towns fund. We have set up our Believe in Bedworth board, because my residents believe in their town, and the ch…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for raising awareness of this very important condition. It is, as always, an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Desmond. I am here because, like everyone else, I have had several of my constituents raise the problem of diagnosis taking far too long, the crippling impact that this condit…”

“The Women and Equalities Committee heard compelling evidence earlier this year about misogyny in the music industry. That is exactly one of the areas where people who are classed as “workers” need protection, so I thank my hon. Friend for raising this issue.”

“It is a great pleasure to open the questions today, because as a small part of my career I worked for the RNID. It is great to have you here, and particularly members of the British Deaf Association. My first question is to Rebecca. The British Sign Language Act 2022 was celebrated in the Deaf community, but there were…”

“My next question is to Jo. The 2022 Act does not provide any additional rights to Deaf signers. Is this a weakness in the legislation?”

“Craig, do you feel that that there is a need for additional legislation to provide equal rights to Government information?”

“That link between culture and language is so important, so thank you for explaining that.”

“I applaud my hon. Friend’s love of the Wolves. Does he agree that one of the best football players from the Black Country was Jeff Astle, and that it would not be right for Black Country Day to go by without us commemorating Jeff’s place in the world of football?”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that accessible toilets keep people out longer, encourage spending, make towns more inclusive, and are critical for retail, tourism and local growth? When councils close them, disabled people and young families just stay at home. Does he agree that it is short-sighted of the Conservative counc…”

“My hon. Friend may know that I bought my very first house on the edge of the Black Country, within hearing distance of the Baggies’ home ground. I want to celebrate the Black Country’s very own orange chips. The orange chips are said to date back to world war two, but who knows? The best orange chips are always fluffy …”

“University hospital Coventry and Warwickshire suffers from really poor car parking facilities. I have had to take both my parents there over recent years to use its specialist cardiology services. The poor quality of those car parking facilities causes additional stress for patients visiting those services, which they …”

“Within that first category—the one and three-year data—what sorts of incidence of adverse reactions are we looking at? What sort of percentages?”

“There seems to be a number of different studies out there, but what role can all your organisations play in collecting and publishing better data to enable those informed decisions?”

“Rieka, would you agree with that, or is there anything you would add?”

“What proportion of patients have adverse reactions to breast implants?”

“Is there sufficient evidence of the risks to enable patients to make informed decisions?”

“What protocols are in place to ensure that patients are fully informed of the risks, particularly the long-term risks around cancer and breast implant illness?”

“Thank you for joining us this afternoon, and apologies that you have had a bit of a wait. This is a very broad opening question so, Nora, I am going to ask you first: what is your assessment of the safety of breast implants?”

“One of the toughest challenges that autistic women and girls face is misdiagnosis and late diagnosis, so girls’ problems go unnoticed. Parents in my constituency frequently tell me how frustrating and exhausting it is for them and their families to try to get the support and diagnosis that their daughters need. Does my…”
