Speeches by Taylor.

“Louise, we spent yesterday afternoon at a roundtable discussing financial education in schools and we had an interesting group of young people who were very supportive of that. What specific skills and information do you think people need and how easily available is it? Does it differ between what women need and what m…”

“Does anybody think there is sometimes a risk of that kind of education holding people back, particularly women, as opposed to men who are more likely to take risks? We as women are often less likely to take risks, particularly if we have had that sort of education: money does not grow on trees, save up the pennies and …”

“Yes, I am just trying to be devil’s advocate a bit there.”

“That is what I was getting at; thank you, Devie.”

“That is really interesting. Financial education is a subject that I am very keen on. One of the things we talked about yesterday was how we make that financial education exciting to young people and get them to take it on board, as opposed to listening to, potentially, social media influencers who are not always—someti…”

“Q James, I would like to ask you a question first. We heard a lot on earlier panels about the number of permissions that have been granted but not yet delivered. How do you think your members can be helped by the Bill to deliver those homes? Also, when we talk about affordable housing, how much of that really needs to …”

“Q As a follow-up, also at Hams Hall, JLR has a battery assembly plant, and its representatives told me that it could probably power the whole of the industrial estate there, but that there was no chance that it would be able to get a grid connection. Is there an estimate of those sorts of things, which are feasible and…”

“Q I was delighted recently to visit a National Grid substation at Hams Hall, in my North Warwickshire and Bedworth constituency. It is almost doubling in size to accommodate connections for High Speed 2, but people there also talked to me about the massive queue of projects that need connections if there is to be expan…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for securing this important debate. Like her, my first political activism was campaigning against section 28; that is what made me join our wonderful party. I feel truly supported by her and by my other lesbian colleagues in this place. It was that rhetoric, and comments that our relationships an…”

“I recently spoke to a constituent who wanted to have a baby with her partner. She was told by her ICB that because of her partner’s situation—her partner already had a child—she would not qualify for any rounds of IVF. I looked into it and found that to be the case in other ICBs too. This needs to be taken into account…”

“Until the election I was a commercial property solicitor acting for a number of residential and commercial property developers. I was also a North Warwickshire borough councillor until I resigned a couple of months ago.”

“Q I am interested to hear your quite controversial views on the role of local councillors in the planning process. I am sure that a lot of developers might agree with you. We heard from the previous panel that planning with consent is key to securing good communities. How do you feel it is best to consult the public? S…”

“Q I would like to focus again on local planning authorities. I am acutely aware, from my constituency in North Warwickshire and Bedworth, of the under-resourcing of planning authorities, and this Bill enables us to charge increased fees, but I am also aware of the frustration from local developers and businesses about …”

“I am concerned by reports on social media that a disabled person in a wheelchair in Bedworth was stranded because their bus did not show up and several taxis refused to take a wheelchair. I am sick and tired of hearing how my vulnerable constituents are let down by Warwickshire’s buses, which is why I launched my petit…”

“Many of my constituents work at Jaguar Land Rover or in the motor manufacturing supply chain, and they are really concerned about 25% tariffs on exports to the US. Can the Secretary of State set out what steps he is taking to get those tariffs reduced and to support west midlands businesses before I meet Jaguar Land Ro…”

“Jonny, do you think that a reduced notice period would be proportionate and feasible in these arrangements?”

“While you are on the screen, we have heard quite a bit that the requirement of eight weeks’ notice to change blocks of shared parental leave is onerous on parents and incompatible with the reality of parenting. Why do you think employers need eight weeks’ notice?”

“Apologies for being late. Do you agree that some form of shared parental leave should be maintained within the statutory system because it is the only element that offers significant flexibility to parents? Nikki, I am happy if you want to answer that one first.”

“T2. I have launched a petition in my constituency asking Warwickshire county council to take our buses back under public control. Almost 30% of buses do not run on time, and my constituents are sick and tired of being stranded if they do not have a car. Does the Minister agree that Warwickshire county council must do t…”

“I am not going to give way; you have had your time. Before I came to this place—[Interruption.]”
