Speeches by Taylor.

“Does my hon. Friend agree that, until we improve the living standards of ordinary working people, we will never drive up the profitability or sustainability of family farms? It is the Conservative party, with its Budget choices, that devastated our rural communities, and only a Labour Government will focus on improving…”

“An observation I have made as I have listened to the hon. Gentleman is that not one single Member of his party stood up for the thousands of pensioners who were not given the justice they deserve in the mineworkers pension scheme or the BCSSS. His party claims to stand up for pensioners, and yet it did nothing and said…”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme (Adam Jogee) for arranging this debate. We share an office so I know how important this issue is to him and how frequently he speaks about the need for regeneration in coalfield communities—that is, when he is not arguing with my staff about how old he looks. […”

“Will the hon. Member give way?”

“I thank the hon. Member for Broadland and Fakenham (Jerome Mayhew) for securing the debate and for his valuable work on the all-party parliamentary group on financial education for young people. One of my first jobs was working in advice services. Time and time again, people came to us for help after they had stacked u…”

“How do you think the Government should respond to those prominent figures using their social media platforms to purposefully destabilise social cohesion or destabilise community relations in this country?”

“I welcome the statement made by my right hon. Friend. I also draw Members’ attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. In North Warwickshire and Bedworth, my constituents can see the benefits of devolution just over the boundary in the West Midlands combined authority, and I am sure that they…”

“I apologise that I was late to this sitting, and thank you for your time. How do you think public figures such as politicians can best use their platforms to promote social cohesion?”

“We have seen an increase in those deliberate culture wars entered into by politicians, whether that is targeted at certain communities or at trans people. Do you think that directly leads to hate crime?”

“I thank the Minister for his statement, and particularly for his deep understanding of women’s health issues and the difficulty that many women face in getting their GP to understand what they are going through. The Women and Equalities Committee has spent some time looking at that this year. The George Eliot hospital …”

“My constituent Clare Rogers came to my surgery after she lost her son to a ketamine addiction. Clare told me of the severe pain and neurological damage he suffered. A crisis of ketamine usage among our young people has become apparent, and we must look to mental health and addiction services because they are ultimately…”

“Under the last Government, five times more research went into erectile dysfunction, which affects 19% of men, than went into premenstrual syndrome, which affects 90% of women. Women are waiting more than eight years for endometriosis diagnoses. GPs are not required to undertake a gynaecological rotation within their tr…”

“Around 3,000 of my constituents in North Warwickshire and Bedworth work in the automotive sector. I have met representatives of many small and medium-sized businesses that provide engineering and manufacturing services for the sector, as well as Jaguar Land Rover, which has a battery assembly centre in my constituency.…”

“18. What steps his Department is taking to support the automotive industry.”

“This week, I heard a story from an elderly resident in Bedworth. Kolin Basra phoned the GP surgery to make an appointment for his elderly wife and was told that no appointments would be available for three months. Does the Prime Minister agree that that is utterly shocking and horrifying, and a direct result of 14 year…”

“Thank you all for speaking up and speaking out; it really is so important. With that in mind, I would like to ask Laura first: without giving any identifying details, are you aware of anyone in the music industry who has been pressured into signing a non-disclosure agreement, an NDA, to prevent them from talking about …”

“Thank you. Deborah, I am a lawyer myself although not an employment specialist. I just want to follow up on something that you have highlighted. You feel that for things to change, there needs to be more legal action or more people sued, but we have already touched on the fact that a lot of this space is freelancers on…”

“How do you think those legal actions should take place to have effect? Obviously, private civil legal production is hugely expensive.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you. Deborah, the ISM and others have argued for the Equality Act to be amended to better protect freelancers. What changes would you like to see, and why?”
