12 Feb 2026LGBT+ History Month

I thank the shadow Minister for talking passionately about the things that her party helped to introduce. Will her party support moves to make sure that hate crime against all LGBT people is treated as an aggravated offence when that measure comes forward in the other place?

12 Feb 2026LGBT+ History Month

I am so proud and pleased to be taking part in this debate. I pay tribute to my hon. Friend the Member for Nottingham East (Nadia Whittome). She may be young, but she is a fearless, knowledgeable and compassionate champion of our movement. I also pay tribute to all my other wonderful colleagues, both those from my comm

11 Feb 2026Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1503)

Why do you think the minimum age should be 25 rather than 18?

11 Feb 2026Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1503)

Are there any other comparable countries or areas where the age limit has changed?

11 Feb 2026Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1503)

Zeynep, are there any further safeguards that could protect these women more effectively?

11 Feb 2026Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1503)

We were hoping to be joined on this panel by Laura Rose, and these questions were going to be directed towards her. Zeynep, is there sufficient research and data collection on LGBT+ people who donate or freeze their eggs? Is there more that needs to be done? Are they being exploited?

Helen, does the current compensation limit strike the right balance between compensating women for their time and expenses and at the same time avoiding financial inducement?

5 Feb 2026Water Infrastructure: Inspections

Affinity Water and Severn Trent are opening their consultation next week on the Grand Union canal transfer scheme. The project will see 53 megalitres of treated water a day pumped into the canal in Atherstone in my constituency to be extracted in the south-east. Residents in Atherstone are concerned about the noise, da

5 Feb 2026CPS Serious Economic, Organised Crime and International Directorate

As a practising solicitor for more than 20 years, I am of course aware of the rules and professional guidance on conflicts of interest. Does the Solicitor General agree that the shadow Attorney General recusing himself from giving legal advice to the Leader of the Opposition because he would rather profit from advising

4 Feb 2026Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 573)

I have spoken about NDAs on numerous occasions and questioned witnesses at the last inquiry session. We have already touched on how prevalent they are in the industry and how the Government’s ban on NDAs potentially does not go far enough. Zelda, what do you particularly want to see in the Government’s secondary legisl

4 Feb 2026Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 573)

That was one of the concerns when you spoke about how prevalent the pre-emptive NDAs were. As a lawyer who has advised people on the use of mainly settlement agreements in employment matters, the advice means something if a situation has happened but that advice becomes a little more nefarious if no situation has happe

Do you think there will be some people who still do not understand that and there will still be this use of agreements that would not hold water?

4 Feb 2026Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 573)

Do you think there will be ways of circumventing what is in the law?

Jen, at the moment, if someone were to come to CIISA having signed an NDA, how are you able to support them?

4 Feb 2026Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 573)

To what extent do you think this ban will lead to a cultural shift in the creative industries in terms of both employers’ behaviour but also the culture of women feeling safe enough to report abuse?

4 Feb 2026Women and Equalities Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 573)

I would like to think that we will end up in a situation where men in power do not abuse that power at the expense of women.

2 Feb 2026Ukraine

In North Warwickshire and Bedworth, many, like Felicitas in Water Orton, have welcomed Ukrainian refugees into their homes and have stood by Ukraine, just as this Labour Government have. Meanwhile, Reform-led Warwickshire county council has removed the Ukrainian flag from county hall despite public protest. Given the e
