My constituents are plagued with endless disruption and roadworks from Thames Water, which is leading to disruption for motorists, delays in public transport and, in some cases, serious safety concerns for cyclists. Does the Secretary of State agree that such infrastructure works should be properly monitored and inspected so that they are carried out effectively and efficiently—and, frankly, so that our constituents can see some benefit at the end of the disruption?

Does the Secretary of State agree that an industry-level offer of resources and training at that stage in education is vital if we are to have thriving science, technology, engineering and mathematics sectors?

Why has the government’s programme failed to recognise the impact on organisations across Bristol South? There is growing concern about settler violence on the west bank. Churches in my constituency have raised that concern, and have particularly highlighted the attacks on the Christian community, which is small and often overlooked. May I ask the Second Church Estates Commissioner, via the Leader of the House, to use the role of the Church Commissioners to ensure that this issue stays on the agenda and in the public eye, so that this community and what is happening to it is not forgotten, either in Parliament or in the wider world?

I thank the Minister for joining me at Curwen primary school in Plaistow recently to see its excellent early years education work. He heard from parents about the struggles they often face as a result of serious economic and housing hardship. Will he assure my constituents that the Government will look at communities like mine, where housing and poverty create serious challenges for families, to ensure that all children, no matter their circumstances, get the best possible educational start in life?

I recently visited Keir Hardie primary school in Canning Town, which has been involved in a scheme run by Disney that ended up with 42 of the children performing in “The Jungle Book” in the west end. The children are now absolutely enthused by the idea of performance and theatre, and the teachers tell me that their concentration is better, their confidence is better and they are showing benefits in their academic work. Does the Secretary of State agree that as well as the benefits of access to theatre, there are clearly academic benefits too? We need to see more opportunities like this, particularly in constituencies like mine, where circumstances often mean that children do not get access to this kind of thing.

I raised the al-Ahli hospital at the end of last year, when it suffered quite a lot of damage. The situation has deteriorated rapidly since then. I understand that the hospital, as my hon. Friend outlined, has suffered further damage, including the loss of its emergency room. Given it is one of the few functioning hospitals left in Gaza, does my hon. Friend agree that it is vital that it stays open? Given it is one of the oldest hospitals, operating for almost 140 years, its loss would be an absolutely damning indictment of the disregard for the medical facilities, and for the health and lives of the Palestinian people.

Following the visit of the Minister for Secondary Care to my constituency where she saw the pressures at Newham hospital A&E due to past government policies and population growth, can the Secretary of State reassure constituents about longer-term infrastructure planning to future-proof against further population growth as we regenerate brownfield sites in the Royal Docks?

We have seen increasing settler violence in the west bank, and Palestinian Christians were restricted and prevented from worshipping over Easter. I ask my hon. Friend to use her good offices to encourage the Church of England to do all it can, including working with other Churches and across faiths to protect the rights of the Palestinian people and ensure freedom of worship across all faiths in the face of increased harassment and violence.

One of the challenges facing people who are moving to electric vehicles is the charging infrastructure, particularly in inner cities. Local authorities have worked to try to help that, but they have limited resources. My old team at Newham council did a deal with Uber to supply 400 on-street charging units. Does the Minister agree that that sort of partnership using public sector actors with private finance could help resolve the issue? Could the Government look at ways they could work with local authorities to secure those public-private partnerships?

We wish you a happy Christmas. We need more recycling opportunities and public awareness of the risks associated with improper disposal of electronic waste. Will the Government work with local authorities to increase these opportunities?

What progress has been made on reducing electronic waste? Each week, 8 million vapes are thrown away or recycled incorrectly, which is 13 vapes a second. This is causing fires and environmental damage. We need more recycling opportunities and public awareness of the risks.

Given the humanitarian crisis and need for medical aid in Gaza, especially as winter approaches, will the lack of a ceasefire lead to further suffering and deaths?

What assessment has the Church made of the effectiveness of the Anglican Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza?

Recently, I hosted a briefing with PETA discussing the use of animals in drug and other product research. They presented strong evidence that such practices are unnecessary. Will the Secretary of State ensure we no longer experiment on animals and adopt alternative methods for product development?

Does the Minister agree that we need to create more opportunities at secondary level for skills-based training to ensure that it is embedded and lasts post-16 into the workplace?

What steps she is taking to help ensure that young people have the necessary skills to gain employment. The London Design and Engineering university technical college caters for 14 to 19-year-olds and offers at secondary level the kind of training often only found at further education level, ensuring it is embedded post-16 into the workplace and improving employability skills.

Does the Minister agree that it is a perfect example of why we need to continue working on making these batteries safer, running awareness campaigns so residents understand safety issues and proper disposal?

What recent steps have been taken to help prevent e-bike battery fires? Two weeks ago, there was a fire in a 10th floor flat in Plaistow. Thankfully, quick actions saved everyone. This incident highlights why we need to work on making batteries safer and educating residents about safety measures and proper disposal.
