Speeches by Taylor.

“Why are only severe and critical incidents reported and not moderate?”

“I have quite a few questions about collection of data. How does the HFEA currently collect data on post-donation health outcomes?”

“Is the information provided to patients sufficiently clear about the limitations of the data and the research that you have? Are you confident that donors and those freezing their eggs are in a position to give informed consent?”

“Peter has already talked about there being quite a bit of data and information so I will come to Rachel on this. There is already a lot of information and research into IVF patients generally but would you accept that IVF patients and egg donors are different cohorts—at least in terms of age—and that this may have a be…”

“If it could be done, who do you think should commission the research into the long-term impacts of donation freezing in particular?”

“Thank you all for joining us today whether in person or online; we appreciate your time. Multiple witnesses to this inquiry have already told us that the long-term health risks of egg donation are under-researched. Is that something that the HFEA accepts?”

“What seems to be happening is that Facebook algorithms are targeting women within those groups, whether they are in same-sex couples or single women who are looking online for fertility advice and information. Surely adverts from the HFEA could also be sent out to those algorithms. Is that something you would think of …”

“Turning the issue on its head, what do you think the barriers are to people accessing regulated fertility services for sperm donation?”

“Thank you all for being here. Clause 10 will introduce a new victims code of practice. Can you share your views on what the code should look like and how it should be implemented to make sure that it helps victims to navigate the service justice system?”

“Is it a common problem that victims or clients encounter cases in which chains of command have reacted inappropriately, or is that rare?”

“I really feel for my hon. Friend’s constituent. Warwickshire police used to have one of the worst records in the country for charging in rape cases, but they have turned that around and now have one of the best. Does he agree that, for the police to continue doing their work investigating the accused, our court system …”

“On that aspect, Nina, the service justice system is frequently criticised for its lack of independence from the chain of command. How often do you encounter cases in which a victim believes that the chain of command has reacted inappropriately?”

“Does my hon. Friend agree that there is nothing progressive about a working-class man spending a year on remand—without a judge or a jury, and without any end to his turmoil in sight—when he may in fact be innocent?”

“I am really asking you what the consequences are if a commanding officer chooses to ignore their statutory duty to report things.”

“Thank you for attending this afternoon, and thank you both for your service. You have already touched on clause 17 and the statutory duty. Kristian, do you think that duty is enough for commanding officers to take their responsibility seriously? What are the consequences if they choose to ignore it?”

“How do you think we should go about that programme of education?”

“Thank you for being here this afternoon, Alan. The Bill will give service courts new powers to address sexual harm and domestic abuse. In your view, are these powers appropriate to help tackle sexual harm and domestic abuse in the context of service life?”

“As part of my work on the Women and Equalities Committee, I have heard at first hand from victims of horrific hate crimes, who have been targeted just because of how they looked and who they were. Will the Secretary of State confirm that this Labour Government will finally deliver the funding, resources and a call to a…”

“Can I thank my right hon. Friend for everything that he is doing in Britain’s national interest? Our armed forces cannot believe their ears when we have the Leader of the Opposition saying that they are hanging around doing nothing and the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage) swanning off to the States to tell Donald…”

“Do you think we should be collecting data on LGBT people as a specific cohort? If so, why do we need to do that? Obviously some of those statistics clearly show that there is a potential for abuse.”
