Women’s State Pension Age (25 Mar 2024)

Caroline Nokes: I welcome the Secretary of State’s comments and his emphasis that this is a complex matter—of course it is. However, the WASPI women have been waiting five years for the outcome of the ombudsman’s report. In his report and subsequent to it, when he wrote to various Select Committee Chairs from across the House, he gently encouraged us to keep a weather eye on how quickly the Government...

HMRC Self-Assessment Helpline (20 Mar 2024)

Caroline Nokes: The Women and Equalities Committee, which is currently carrying out an inquiry on the rights of older people, this week met Independent Age and a range of stakeholders in Andover. They made the point that older people need to be able to access all services on the telephone, as people who are disabled or have a visual impairment find online services difficult. To be able to communicate...

Access to Migraine Treatment — [David Mundell in the Chair] (20 Mar 2024)

Caroline Nokes: I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Bishop Auckland (Dehenna Davison) on having secured this important debate. I am going to be a little bit cheeky: it is always a privilege and a delight to follow my right hon. Friend the Member for South Staffordshire (Sir Gavin Williamson, but I have absolutely no memory of him advocating radical and bold behaviour from the Dispatch Box when he...

Women and Equalities: Gender Pay Gap (20 Mar 2024)

Caroline Nokes: The issue is not just the gender pay gap; there is also the gender pension gap, the lack of women on boards, and the importance of making sure that we have a pipeline of talented women at every level. Yesterday, I was with the community interest company, Women on Boards, and its clear message to the Minister is, “Please can we have more action and fewer initiatives, to ensure that we make...

International Women’s Day: Language in Politics (29 Feb 2024)

Caroline Nokes: I will not get the Minister to say this, but I will say it for her. Can we also look at those who write Commons sketches? I am particularly thinking of Quentin Letts, who is a bit prone to going after people like me for being too pony club posh, and my hon. Friend the Member for Gosport (Dame Caroline Dinenage) for having pink nail varnish. The list is endless, and it is never about what we...

International Women’s Day: Language in Politics (29 Feb 2024)

Caroline Nokes: Every year, the hon. Member for Birmingham, Yardley (Jess Phillips), reads out that list. I do not think that I have ever had to follow her directly, and it is not an easy job to do. We are here to celebrate as well as commemorate, and as International Women’s Day is coming up next week, it is important that we reflect on what improvements there have been, but also on the failures. My...

International Women’s Day: Language in Politics (29 Feb 2024)

Caroline Nokes: It absolutely includes our staff. My staff are criticised for working for me, when all they have done is apply for a job that they thought might be quite interesting and rewarding, and that might give them an opportunity to contribute. There are many challenges, and we have to use our role in this place to do better. I always say that we can all do better. It is important to emphasise that...

Security of Elected Representatives (29 Feb 2024)

Caroline Nokes: My right hon. Friend is absolutely right that this is about defending democracy, but I am very concerned when we start talking about risk. The shadow spokesman, the hon. Member for Barnsley Central (Dan Jarvis) spoke about having to have the right protections in the right place at the right time. We know that women, people of colour and LGBTQ Members will be at most risk, but none of us...

Angiolini Inquiry Report (29 Feb 2024)

Caroline Nokes: I would like to associate myself with the remarks of others—my thoughts are also with the Everard family. This report tells us that the environment did nothing—nothing—to discourage Couzens’ misogynistic view of women. We know that not every flasher becomes a rapist, but we also know that every rapist starts somewhere. I respectfully say to my right hon. Friend that, of course, there...

Business of the House (29 Feb 2024)

Caroline Nokes: My right hon. Friend will, like me, have constituents whose water is supplied by Southern Water. After two weeks of obfuscation, reassurance and denial by the company that there has been any pollution incident at Fullerton wastewater works in my constituency, we heard from the Environment Agency yesterday that there has been a significant pollution incident of a level that would be hazardous...

Cabinet Office: Topical Questions (29 Feb 2024)

Caroline Nokes: We know that the Cabinet Office is often focused on making sure that procurement contracts go to small and medium-sized enterprises, but can my hon. Friend tell me what work is being done to make sure that female-led businesses get a chance at those contracts?

Child Maintenance Service — [Sir Charles Walker in the Chair] (27 Feb 2024)

Caroline Nokes: As ever, Sir Charles, it is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship. I congratulate the Chair of the Work and Pensions Committee, the right hon. Member for East Ham (Sir Stephen Timms), on securing this important debate. The former Secretary of State, my right hon. Friend the Member for Suffolk Coastal (Dr Coffey), has made the point that when constituents come to our surgeries to...

Written Answers — Department for Culture, Media and Sport: National Physical Activity Taskforce (26 Feb 2024)

Animal Testing — [Dame Caroline Dinenage in the Chair] (19 Feb 2024)

Caroline Nokes: rose—

Animal Testing — [Dame Caroline Dinenage in the Chair] (19 Feb 2024)

Caroline Nokes: My hon. Friend makes the really important point that non-animal methods can be much more accurate than using animals in these experiments. Does he agree that companies such as Lush, which came to Parliament before Christmas to advocate for those methods, have shown the way in which, through science, we can do better?

Written Answers — Department of Health and Social Care: Breast Cancer: Screening (19 Feb 2024)

Caroline Nokes: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reasons the NHS missed its target of 70% of invited women to be screened for breast cancer in 2022-23.
