Speeches in the chamber
16 Jul 2026 Maritime Sector
I thank the Minister for pausing the MCA’s brutal decision about coastguard rescue officers, and for convening meetings on cross-Solent ferry transport to the Isle of Wight, which will start next month. It is of some concern, however, that…

16 Jul 2026 Health Bill (Seventeenth sitting)
It is a pleasure to serve with you in the Chair, Ms Lewell. These two new clauses, the latter of which is in my name, deal with the publication of an annual report detailing NHS and social care provision for dementia care and how the Gover…

14 Jul 2026 Coastal Communities: Isolation and Hidden Deprivation
I congratulate the hon. Member, my neighbour, on securing this debate, which is important not only for us on the Isle of Wight, but for so many MPs, hence the wonderful turnout in the Chamber today. In particular, I thank him for highlight…
9 Jul 2026 Timms Review: Interim Report
I thank the right hon. Member for his statement. What a shame he has been asked to look at this issue only now, when his party had 14 long years in Opposition to work out what they wanted to do. Given that he acknowledges the system needs …
9 Jul 2026 Health Bill (Fifteenth sitting)
I am grateful to the hon. Member for Winchester for introducing these new clauses and for the debate that that is allowing us to have. Unpaid carers are too often a silent and fundamentally unappreciated part of society, which the system c…
9 Jul 2026 Health Bill (Fifteenth sitting)
I think that the hon. Member has spoken very well, too, and I am grateful to him for airing this important subject through his new clause.
9 Jul 2026 Health Bill (Fifteenth sitting)
To strip this back further, can the Minister confirm whether a deal has been done?
9 Jul 2026 Health Bill (Fifteenth sitting)
As my hon. Friend the Member for Farnham and Bordon said, we on the Health and Social Care Committee heard from the Secretary of State yesterday. These new clauses were obviously drafted in advance, but the timing of their consideration i…
9 Jul 2026 Health Bill (Fifteenth sitting)
It is a pleasure to serve with you in the Chair, Ms Lewell. I find myself unequal to the level of analysis and detail that the hon. Member for Lichfield brought to public health in the Ministry of Defence. I will add just a few brief th…
9 Jul 2026 Health Bill (Fourteenth sitting)

9 Jul 2026 Health Bill (Fourteenth sitting)
Does my hon. Friend agree that there is an overarching issue here of public confidence in the safety of their data? That is not about one company or another; it is about ensuring that robust safeguards are in place for everyone and for eve…

8 Jul 2026 Maritime and Coastguard Agency
The boss of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency told MPs in person that 93% of CROs surveyed were happy with moving to an unpaid volunteer model. That was false: the survey data shows that in many areas across the UK, nearly half would redu…
7 Jul 2026 Summer Jobs
Nowhere is the summer job more important for young people finding work than on the Isle of Wight, but employers are telling me that it is increasingly hard to employ young people because of the tax and the red tape that this Government hav…
7 Jul 2026 Health Bill (Thirteenth sitting)
The Government’s proposal to abolish the independent voice of patients is a mistake. It is a backward step, and I have seen no compelling reason why it should happen. Apparently, the voice of patients is going to be realised through integr…
7 Jul 2026 Health Bill (Thirteenth sitting)

7 Jul 2026 Health Bill (Thirteenth sitting)
I am a member of the Health and Social Care Committee, and the hon. Member is absolutely right to say that Healthwatch England raises issues with us. When the Department assumes those roles and functions, I very much doubt that it will be …
