14 Jul 2026 Topical Questions
Well, that was clearly no answer to my question, so let me give it: the Government’s own figures show that the number is higher. Additionally, in response to concerns that I have raised, the Office for Statistics Regulation confirmed that …

23 Jun 2026 Puberty Blockers
I am going to continue because I want to give the Minister the opportunity to respond. The Secretary of State says that this trial will help settle the evidence, but a trial that follows children for a limited period cannot by itself se…
23 Jun 2026 Puberty Blockers
I can assure the hon. Lady that I have given this an enormous amount of consideration. I understand what she is saying, but my argument is that we already have a set of data on children who have gone through some of these experiences, and …
23 Jun 2026 Puberty Blockers

1 Jun 2026 Health Bill
