Speeches by Duffield.

“Professor Heneghan, you were talking about the different kinds of implant, and we have heard that there is a register in the Netherlands. So if there is no register for NHS England, presumably each hospital, or each CEO or whoever does procurement, can order its own type of implant from wherever you get these things. I…”

“Do you think it particularly impacts newer writers coming up from different sectors? Working-class writers, for example.”

“Thank you. Do any of you want to say what you think could be done to combat the negative impact of spending so much time on social media and online? Darren, is that an answer that could be related to schools?”

“That is a really interesting answer, thank you. Dr Guinness, do you largely agree with that, and do you support a ban as well?”

“I just want to talk more broadly about phones and social media. Matt, what impact do you think screen time, phones and social media are having on young people more broadly?”

“I just want to talk about TV more generally. We all thought the drama was incredible, and I am a fan of “Best Interests”, that was extremely moving. Given the strong engagement from Government on your drama, and things like the Post Office drama on ITV, is it important that the very beleaguered TV industry gets more su…”

“Does anyone else want to comment on that?”

“Apologies for being late; we have on-and-off votes, and I am going to have to go again in a minute. Jonny, could you explain to us what Aviva’s enhanced parental pay offer is and how you arrived at that rate?”

“To Nikki first, what should the balance be between increasing the rate of statutory pay and encouraging more employers to offer enhanced parental pay?”

“What impact will the Employment Rights Bill have on the union’s ability to negotiate better enhanced parental pay, Nikki?”

“That sounds really positive. Thank you. Nikki, the TUC has noticed that employers are less likely to extend enhanced pay to shared parental leave than to maternity, paternity and adoption leave. Do we know why, and what can be done to address this? Maybe the others want to come in on that as well.”

“Claire and Jonny, do either of you want to comment on that?”

“I thank the hon. Member for his intervention, but there are plenty of things that the Labour Government seem to be pushing through that were not in the manifesto. The people now in charge were campaigning, with those of us who were here then, against Brexit several years ago, and I would like them to stick to that. Our…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Mundell. By parliamentary standards, this may not be an enormous petition, nor has it attracted almost 3 million signatures, like the recent one calling for another general election. However, it is still significant, and is on a subject that has gone from being all we …”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered gender critical beliefs and the Equality Act 2010. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Twigg. The Equality Act, passed by a Labour Government in 2010, protects people from discrimination based on nine protected characteristics: age, disability, gender reassig…”

“I thank the hon. Member for his point. I agree that all of those beliefs should be—and are—protected under the law. Our desire to be kind, inclusive and accepting are worthy and valuable human traits, and it is the pursuit of tolerance that underpins our law on discrimination. They are essential values in a pluralistic…”

“I thank the right hon. Gentleman so much for raising that important point. Just for speaking up, I, a left-wing member of the Labour party, have been called a Reform member and all kinds of names, and it has been suggested that I join a right-wing party, yet an awful lot of the articles I read agreeing with me are in t…”

“Absolutely, and I thank the hon. Member so much for raising that case. It shocked and peaked quite a lot of people that just asking for single-sex services when they are more vital than ever got Roz Adams into so much hot water. It is absolutely unbelievable, and good luck to her in her fight. Ironically, the name call…”

“T9. The University of Kent, which is the largest employer in my constituency, is making yet more redundancies due to the enormous debt it owes to international banks. Will the Secretary of State commit to holding crisis meetings with desperate universities and their creditors, to help secure more sustainable terms and …”

“How do people in communities react to people who are arguing against FGM? We heard from a survivor and it sounded as though it was a very dangerous thing to do.”
