Speeches by Paul.

“I draw the House’s attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. I want to raise a few issues, all of which I know are very much on my constituents’ minds. First, I want to emphasise the importance of ensuring that boroughs such as Reigate and Banstead, which have been managed well and are not …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Vaz. I thank the hon. Member for Carlisle (Ms Minns) for securing this fantastic debate. It is a great honour to rise to pay tribute to one of the most remarkable and least widely recognised units that contributed to the allied victory in the second world war: the R…”

“I am grateful to be closing this debate on behalf of His Majesty’s Opposition. I thank colleagues from across the House for their passionate contributions, and I am going to attempt to list them all: my hon. Friend the Member for East Wiltshire (Danny Kruger), and the hon. Members for North East Hertfordshire (Chris Hi…”

“I will not, because of the time—we all have lots of questions for the Minister that we want to get through. The statutory override was due to end in 2026, but the Government have decided to extend that accounting trick for another two years. I cannot emphasise enough to the Minister that we are on the brink of a financ…”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Edward. I thank the hon. Member for Tunbridge Wells (Mike Martin) for obtaining this important and very timely debate on SEND provision in the south-east. First, I draw Members’ attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests, as I am a serving…”

“Did you hear anything specifically from young lesbians on this?”

“It is really shocking. We have to remember that children learn from what they are seeing, and a lot of them have a smartphone in their pocket and it is available 24/7.”

“Baroness Bertin, thank you for your time today and for all your work on this really important topic. Can you talk us through the academic research there is about the impact of watching pornography on children specifically?”

“What impact is porn consumption having on girls, both as consumers and in relation to boys’ consumption of it? Also, what is the impact on boys?”

“Are you seeing any evidence that girls are becoming or having to become more accepting of the treatment? You have already talked about some of the awful things that we see portrayed in pornography.”

“Thank you for your very helpful answers on that front. Earlier—and this leads on from the questions that have just come up—you made the important point that, if only there had been more dialogue 10 years ago, we would not find ourselves in the difficult and almost toxic situation that we are in on these kinds of questi…”

“Thank you, Dr Stephenson, for your time today. I have a follow-on question to build on what Baroness Kennedy already asked about. I think you recognise that you have not had a role that is commensurate in size and budget before. What will you do to address the skills and expertise that you need to do that? Have you got…”

“Thank you. That was such a comprehensive answer that I think you have addressed most of my follow-ups. It is horrifying to hear, and you do not have to be an expert to know that this is incredibly damaging to women, girls, children and society as a whole. You made the point about the need for more studies, but it seems…”

“Would you mind talking to that question, please?”

“Thank you for coming in today, Laura. It is absolutely fascinating and extremely concerning to hear about these trends. To what extent do AI-powered technologies such as AI girlfriends and sex robots encourage real-life misogyny and abuse? I have to say, I did not know very much about this topic until I did some readin…”

“I rise to speak against new clauses 1 and 20, and in support of new clause 106, tabled by my hon. Friend the Member for Sleaford and North Hykeham (Dr Johnson). First, it is important for me to say that I fully support women’s reproductive rights. I think that we generally get the balance right here in the UK, and prot…”

“Are Government receptive to the preliminary discussions you have had and are they recognising the issue?”

“Thank you very much. First, can I say thank you to Baroness Falkner and Mr Kirkpatrick for being here today, and thank you for all your work over recent years? I want to take a moment to actually think about the impact on women and girls. It is clear that organisations, going back many years, have breached the Equality…”

“Obviously I was pleased to see the course correction and that you were not afraid to recognise an error had been made and were looking to address it. That is exactly the right thing to do. The point I want to make today is that that error has led to women and girls losing out on opportunities. That error will have pote…”

“I want to talk very briefly about the legislative programme. We have obviously already talked about the Supreme Court and the clarity that comes from that. What consideration have you given to the potential of new legislation muddying the waters again? For example, the Data (Use and Access) Bill, which does not require…”
