Ruth Cadbury MP: speeches

Speeches

• 21 Apr 2026 · West Bank: Illegal Settlements · Hansard source

  More

  3. What diplomatic steps her Department is taking to help prevent the expansion of illegal settlements in the west bank.

• 14 Apr 2026 · Infected Blood Compensation Scheme · Hansard source

  More

  I really welcome the statement from the Minister, along with the changes and improvements that the Government are making to the scheme, but for many people infected by HIV in the 1980s, fear, stigma and poor health meant that the role of parents, as in the case of my constituents, did not meaningfully change after their child turned 18. Will the Minister please consider adding an enhanced core injury payment for parents whose children died over the age of 18 but who had no partner or children of their own?

• 24 Feb 2026 · Menopause Diagnosis: London · Hansard source

  More

  Women in my constituency experiencing symptoms of perimenopause and menopause tell me of very varied experiences of going to their GP—some excellent, and some, frankly, alarmingly poor. I have been particularly concerned to hear about the experiences of south Asian women with perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms. What steps is the Department taking to ensure that all GPs receive thorough and regular training that is appropriate for all London’s communities?

• 24 Feb 2026 · Menopause Diagnosis: London · Hansard source

  6. What steps he is taking to improve the diagnosis of menopause for women in London.

• 19 Jan 2026 · Iran: Protests · Hansard source

  More

  For almost 50 years, Iranians have found refuge in the UK, and many have made their homes in west London. One of them wrote to me saying that even after 20 years, Iran still runs through his veins. Will the Minister outline how the Government are working with the Iranian diaspora in the UK to provide support and reassurance to them and to their families still in Iran?

• 7 Jan 2026 · Engagements · Hansard source

  More

  Q1. If he will list his official engagements for Wednesday 7 January.

• 3 Nov 2025 · Points of Order · Hansard source

  More

  On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. May I ask that the record be corrected? I inadvertently mentioned Avanti West Coast. I must have been thinking of the derailment, and not the tragic incident, which of course was on LNER. [ Official Report, 3 November 2025; Vol. 774, c. 640.]

• 23 Oct 2025 · Topical Questions · Hansard source

  More

  T8. I have heard from small businesses locally, including a butcher’s and a lighting supplier, about how Brexit has imposed extra barriers on small businesses such as theirs. Will the Minister outline how the UK-EU common understanding will improve conditions for small businesses, particularly those that import from and export to the EU?

• 4 Sept 2025 · Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund · Hansard source

  More

  Is my hon. Friend as concerned as I am that we are hearing that some adopters, or potential adopters, are being put off going even through the process because of concerns about a lack of post-adoption support, which of course has to be long term, as he just mentioned?
