Speeches by Taylor.

“I thank my hon. Friend for securing this important debate; we sometimes share journeys to and from Westminster. The whole point of High Speed 2 was to relieve capacity on the west coast main line from London to Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, yet my constituents have suffered through years of endless delays and disru…”

“On Tuesday Ukraine suffered its heaviest aerial attack, as more than 700,000 drones and 13 missiles struck cities around the country, and the BBC reported today that Russia conducted another massive overnight attack on Kyiv. Later this month, I will be driving an ambulance with medical supplies to Ukraine, with a local…”

“I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Bishop Auckland (Sam Rushworth) on securing this important debate, and I pay credit to the work done by the young men in his office. For too many years we have been sleepwalking into a crisis of boys disengaging, and we have finally had the wake-up calls that we desperately …”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that the previous Government’s lack of investment in vital leisure facilities, such as the swimming pool in Atherstone in my constituency, which is overdue for renovation, is causing many of these problems? The lack of PE in schools and the lack of safe places for children to play, be active a…”

“I commend the Committee and my hon. Friend for their work. The report echoes what National Grid told me when I visited its operation in Hams Hall in my constituency. Does he agree that the Government’s work on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill has paved the way for infrastructure projects to be delivered more quickl…”

“Could you give some examples of what constitutes legal but harmful pornography?”

“For the benefit of people who are engaging with this session, could you explain what your recommendations are for achieving parity between the regulation of online and offline pornography?”

“Do you have other examples of what constitutes legal but still harmful pornography?”

“What are the reasons behind online pornography currently not being highly regulated?”

“I thank the hon. Lady for securing this important debate. I am here today on behalf of my constituents in North Warwickshire and Bedworth, as well as friends of mine who have been affected by this historical injustice, which can only be described as a shameful period in our history. Today, I want every LGBT veteran to …”

“Until it was raised by colleagues of mine, I noted that you had not mentioned the LGBT community in any of your answers. Given the discussions and debates around the recent judgment of the Supreme Court and the correspondence that my colleague Dr Swallow mentioned, can you describe the specific steps and actions that y…”

“I have one final question. You have spoken passionately about your desire to uphold freedom of speech. Is it appropriate for people on social media to suggest that women or trans women entering toilets should be photographed or videoed, or is that something you would publicly distance yourself from?”

“Just focusing on what my colleague, Alex Brewer, said about dignity and respect for disabled people, we have seen huge increases in hate crime against them. I am aware that you were a member of the Coventry police and crime board for four years, so perhaps you would like to say a little about how you think the EHRC cou…”

“Obviously, how those intersectionality issues impact on lesbians and trans women is important. I want to move on. The Supreme Court noted that the EHRC’s interim guidance or statement went beyond what the law required.[1] How will you ensure that future guidance accurately reflects legal obligations rather than policy …”

“Last week, I spoke to one of my constituents, Mike, a disabled person who speaks on behalf of many disabled constituents across Warwickshire. He is really pleased that he will have the right to try work, and he is also really pleased that disabled people will be treated with dignity and will be part of the co-productio…”

“Yesterday’s resignation of the Reform leader of Warwickshire county council and his replacement with an 18-year-old will be of real concern to my constituents. We desperately need a functioning council to fill in potholes, deliver our care services and end the crisis in education for those with special education needs …”

“It is important, but we have strayed slightly off the topic.”

“Welcome to the panel; it is nice to see someone here from the university where I graduated. Ruth, what impact do high-pressure sales tactics such as time-limited offers, multi-procedure package deals and those sorts of things have on decision making and mental wellbeing?”

“I do not know who wants to answer this one, but what impact do you think social media algorithms have that target users with cosmetic procedure adverts? How do they impact on mental health and body image? Ruth, I do not know if you want to take that one?”

“Moving on from that, do you think that the current advertising standards are sufficient to protect those vulnerable individuals from the idealised portrayals of procedures and outcomes?”
