Speeches by Taylor.

“Thank you.”

“I thank my hon. Friend for securing this important debate. I was diagnosed with pre-osteoporosis when I suffered a minor injury from playing tennis, so for the last eight years I have been taking Adcal tablets regularly. I was proud recently to welcome a new state-of-the-art physical activity hub in Bedworth in my cons…”

“As someone who is taking medication to ward off the progression of osteoporosis, I was delighted to welcome Bedford’s new state-of-the-art physical activity hub, which will help residents to stay active and stop their osteoporosis developing. I would like the Minister to explain how the Government will make better use …”

“It still seems quite low if that figure is 20% for mixed teams. Why do you think the figure is so low?”

“I welcome the statement from the Minister. The way that Capita has treated my constituents, such as Jill and the many others who have contacted my office, who have dedicated their lives to public service is nothing short of shameful. This is yet another example of how this Government are sorting out the mess created by…”

“Will the Minister join me in congratulating Bedworth company Toye, Kenning and Spencer on its proud history of ribbon weaving and supplying ribbons for insignia and medals to the Queen, the King and the Government for many years? Will he tell me how the procurement strategy will help other local manufacturers in North …”

“Peter, do you think that ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting will become a disproportionate regulatory burden on businesses in the current economic climate?”

“Given those issues, do we have enough data or evidence on what an effective gender, ethnicity or disability pay gap action plan should include?”

“Our Committee is likely to have an opportunity to scrutinise the Government’s plans for pay gap reporting. Do you have some words of advice as to the key practical considerations that we should look at?”

“Looking at that benefit, to what extent do you expect mandatory action plans to speed up the progress on closing pay gaps?”

“I will address this first question to you, Peter, but if others want to come in, just indicate. Given what we have learned in relation to gender pay gap reporting, has a sufficiently strong case been made for ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting?”

“Thank you for your perspective on the dispute in Birmingham. Zoe, you wanted to come in.”

“Nina, I will come to you first on this one because of your regional accent. To what extent does where you grow up or where you live affect your chances of working in the comedy sector?”

“Yes, it makes sense. Rachael, you might want to come in here. It is much more anonymised if you are in a big city such as London to perform in a comedy gig. The people you were at school with and grew up with, the people who your parents know, and their parents are not going to be there. Do you think that is harder in …”

“Ola, is the growth of comedy clubs and festivals across the UK challenging the dominance of London and the south in the comedy sector? If not, why not?”

“I know that feeling safe is very important to my constituents in North Warwickshire and Bedworth, and that is why the Bill is so important for so many people. Today I am immensely proud to welcome the Government’s amendment to equalise hate crime law—Lords amendment 301. I proposed a similar amendment in the House of C…”

“I thank the hon. Member for North Devon for tabling the amendment, and I have just a few things to say. Its impact would be to remove the voice of the victim from the process in deciding the jurisdiction of sexual offences and domestic abuse cases. If a victim does not want their case dealt with in the criminal justice…”

“These provisions are so important. The main thing that witnesses who came before the Women and Equalities Committee said, when talking about the impact of non-consensual intimate image abuse, was that the harm grew and grew, the longer the images stayed online. This measure is vital, and I thank the Government for list…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Efford. I welcome the clauses we are considering. This Government were elected to renew the nation’s contract with those who serve, and this Bill promises to do that. We cannot do it without ensuring that armed forces personnel are protected from sexual and violent beh…”

“The right hon. Member makes a very valid point. I invite him to submit his speech to the consultation on the Government’s White Paper on special educational needs. If he is going to withdraw the amendment, perhaps he would consider that, and then we could move on.”
