Draft United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020 (Exclusions from Market Access Principles: Glue Traps) Regulations 2025

I thank the hon. Member for Epping Forest for his contribution, and acknowledge the work of the previous Government. I know from my experience in the animal welfare sector that compassion for animals crosses party lines, and it is a powerful reminder of what we can do when we work together. The hon. Gentleman asked about plans for a ban in England. He will be aware that that is outside the scope of the regulations, but it is an important point, given the suffering it causes animals. Since 2022,

Draft United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020 (Exclusions from Market Access Principles: Glue Traps) Regulations 2025

I beg to move, That the Committee has considered the draft United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020 (Exclusions from Market Access Principles: Glue Traps) Regulations 2025. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Stuart. These regulations were laid before the House on 1 December 2025. The instrument makes an exclusion to the market access principles of the United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020, also known as the UKIM Act, for legislation prohibiting the sale of glue traps.

Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Dowd. I am grateful to the hon. Member for Winchester (Dr Chambers) for securing this debate. I pay tribute to his work on global health as secretary to the all-party parliamentary group on antimicrobial resistance and as a member of the APPG on maternity. I am also grateful for the efforts of so many here who have dedicated themselves to the fight against HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria for years. I am thankful for the contribution of every hon. Me

Violence against Women and Girls: Pornography Prostitution

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this important debate. Pornography is nothing new, but access to the kind of content she has described is something that previous generations did not have to deal with. The most responsible and vigilant parents are struggling to prevent access to it. Does she agree that we need action from the companies that promote and disseminate this type of material, in addition to the work of parents, and the important work that the Government are doing?

For Women Scotland: Supreme Court Judgment

The Supreme Court judgment provided very welcome legal clarity on the matter of biological sex, but the Scottish Government have met clarity with chaos. Does the Secretary of State agree with me that the SNP Government have made an absolute mess of this, in much the same way they have made a mess of passing on the biggest settlement in the history of devolution to Scottish NHS, education and housing services? Is it not time they got a grip?

Post-industrial Towns

I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Bassetlaw (Jo White) for initiating this important debate. My constituency contains both rural communities and towns with a proud industrial history. Members will be familiar with New Lanark, which is famous throughout the world as the place where Robert Owen championed better working conditions. He showed that productivity does not need to come at the expense of workers’ rights, and we have built on that legacy in this Parliament. Further west, Ham
