Business of the House

Warinder Juss Excerpts

Thursday 14th May 2026 Commons Chamber

[Sir Alan Campbell]

I join the hon. Gentleman in thanking the Fishermen’s Mission for the work that it does, not least in North Shields, where it is led by the Rev. Peter Dade in an exemplary way, as I know it is in the hon. Gentleman’s area. The lost fishermen’s service is an important part of the annual diary for fishing communities. It is an important reminder of the tragedies that have too often taken place in those communities, and of the price that is paid for bringing fish back to our country.

At one of my recent surgeries, I met a constituent diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency, also known as early or premature menopause. This required her to take fertility preservation treatment and to go off work with stress. Her employers failed to provide reasonable adjustments, and she has now lost a lucrative job that she loved, and is having to spend large sums of money to pursue a sex discrimination claim. Does the Leader of the House agree that the Equality Act 2010 must better reflect sex-based conditions to provide clarity for those tackling sex and disability discrimination, and will he make Government time available for a debate on this important issue?
