Speeches by Kumar.

“This debate would be about both urinary and faecal incontinence, which is what people do not want to talk about. People talk about urinary incontinence, because it has less stigma around it. That is why I do not think the debate should be in Westminster Hall.”

“I would be happy to change it. Internationally, it is called “continence”, not “incontinence”. I will be happy whether the motion refers to “Awareness of continence” or to “Awareness of incontinence”; I just think the issue should be given its onus, considering how many people it affects in the UK.”

“My preference is for the Chamber, because this is a big topic and the debate should reflect the onus of what it means to people. In the Chamber, the debate would get a lot more coverage. People would see it as us putting a stamp on it.”

“It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Edward. I congratulate the hon. Member for Mid Bedfordshire (Blake Stephenson) on securing this important debate. If Members are thinking about where to visit in the Easter or summer holidays, I have a location in mind. It is somewhere visitors can pick up a fossil,…”

“My condolences to the shadow Leader of the House and his family. As a physiotherapist prior to being elected to this place, I was delighted to welcome members of all 14 allied health professions to a roundtable in Parliament this week. They account for about a third of the NHS’s entire workforce and work tirelessly to …”

“Have you looked at modelling in other countries that may be doing a better job when it comes to fees and prosecutions? We could learn from some of their best practice, which could be implemented in the UK.”

“Do you think that we could be learning, or taking segments of learning, from other countries and maybe implementing those here?”

“If you have a high level of suspicion that a company is committing some crime, when do you start getting collateral information from other agencies? What is the process from there?”

“You had a vaccine that was prepared and ready and the R&D was going to be then used to further see whether it was safe and was a viable option. Is that correct? I want to get the first point right. Is that right?”

“This is to Mr Nair. The Government have said that the electric arc furnace will reduce entire carbon emissions by 1.5%. Are you on course for the new furnace to open and be operational by 2028?”

“Has National Grid agreed a solid date for the connection?”

“You told the Welsh Affairs Committee that you were losing over £1 million per day. How will the electric furnace change this?”

“This is to the whole panel. You talked about exports and scale-ups and SMEs. What tangible outcomes would you like to see from the defence industry strategy by the end of the Parliament? What must be successful? I will start with Chris, because I am an SME fan.”

“Back to NICE, is it just payment or are there any other reasons in terms of the rigour that goes on in the clinical trials that they are looking into that they have rejected this drug in particular? Is payment the only reason?”

“NICE rejected two of your trials for a new advanced breast cancer drug in the NHS. What are your thoughts on the NHS and the NICE decision on this? Has it affected your thoughts about investing in the UK?”

“Could some of this process have been done somewhere else in the UK in the interim while you were waiting for this funding package to be agreed?”

“I draw attention to my entries in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests, which include my membership of GMB, Unison and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. When I spoke on Second Reading, I welcomed the advancements that this Bill would make on statutory sick pay, maternity and paternity pay and protections …”

“T2. Red Hall primary school in my constituency of Dudley is split down the middle by Zoar Street. The theft of lead from the Victorian roofs, leakages and no real playground do not make an environment for children to thrive. In 2010, the Conservatives shelved the plans to consolidate and repair the school on one side o…”

“As a member of the Business and Trade Committee, I welcome this debate and the opportunity to look at our priorities for the future. Small and medium-sized businesses make up 99.9% of British businesses, employing over 16 million people. As the daughter of a greengrocer, my speech will focus on supporting SMEs to grow …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Hobhouse. I congratulate you on your new position. The national underground asset register will form a more comprehensive digital mapping exercise throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Currently, owners of buried assets such as water and electricity compan…”
