Speeches by Taylor.

“That is really interesting, because in my area we have been given money through Pride in Place. We asked those young people who are involved in antisocial behaviour in our local supermarket, “Why do you go and hang out there?” The answer was that they can meet their friends, talk to them and share what they have seen o…”

“I want to follow up on equitable access to facilities. Ali will probably be able to pre-empt what I am going to ask. When you worked with young people from my constituency at a roundtable, the girls were often saying that they ended up having their practices last, later or at more awkward times than the boys’ or adult …”

“Thank you all for joining us today. My first question is for Tanya. What sort of services do you think are the most beneficial to young people, particularly when it comes to their sense of belonging in their own community?”

“I think we all know that hosting those major events costs money, time and effort, but it does pay rewards, whether that is the Euros or more minor sports such as golf, with the Ryder cup being hosted in the UK, as part of Europe, in 2035. I think there is lots that we can be looking at.”

“It is really inspiring to be joined by three inspirational women in the field of sport. I am probably the second most enthusiastic person about sport on this Committee, because nobody could be more enthusiastic than Kim. I am delighted to follow in her footsteps by chairing the all-party parliamentary group for sport a…”

“This question is about football clubs, Debbie, but I think it goes for other sports too. Is there more that wealthy clubs and players could be doing to support grassroots sport?”

“Thank you—that is really helpful.”

“That is really interesting. Do you think there has been sufficient funding for sports programmes that are focused on community cohesion?”

“Many of us, as constituency MPs, have seen the work though the Premier League, the English Football League and so on. Is it fair to say that the funding model has become more fragmented and could it, or should it, be made simpler?”

“Please do.”

“I was interested about the co-designing of what happens, and in it being resident-led and led by young people. Do we find any difference between what girls and boys are telling us they want and need? Is that coming out differently if we meet and talk with them separately or together?”

“I thank the Secretary of State for standing up for women and children with conviction and dedication, and with no ifs, no buts. I share that dedication. As a member of the Women and Equalities Committee, I supported our inquiry into non-consensual intimate image abuse. Witnesses told us that one of the most damaging as…”

“T9. Constituents who responded to my commuter survey made it clear that the rail service from Coleshill and Water Orton to Birmingham is just not good enough. I called for CrossCountry to reinstate its 7.35 train from Water Orton and to introduce a new later service, and I am delighted that this has been done, but over…”

“Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for taking pity on my throat. I recently held a public meeting about road safety in Polesworth, where there have been reports of illegal street racing. Constituents shared with me their concerns about the illegal number plates used by criminals to get away with dangerous driving. That i…”

“It is great to see so many people here at the Committee today who have an interest in this topic. Excuse me, I am struggling with my voice, as many of us are after Christmas. I will come to you first, Henri, if I may. Can you tell us broadly about the problems faced by young black homeless people?”

“Polly, how do other protected characteristics like gender, sexuality, disability and transgender identity affect a person’s experience of being black and homeless?”

“I will come on to you now, Dani. What additional safety concerns do black people face when sleeping rough, and why do you think that is?”

“Has anything specific come up around sexuality with young black people in particular?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Efford. I thank the hon. Member for Wokingham (Clive Jones) for securing this debate. I pay tribute to my hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham Erdington (Paulette Hamilton) for all the valuable work she does in this space, and to everyone who has shared very person…”

“Many pupils have returned to cold school classrooms this week. That is why I am delighted that Kingsbury school, St Michael’s Church of England academy and All Saints Church of England academy in Bedworth, and Ash Green school, have all received funding to install solar panels. Will the Minister outline what support th…”
