There are so many double standards that seem to be applied only to female MPs. I've had infinite comments about what I'm wearing when the focus should be on what I'm saying.

I have deep sympathy with the hundreds of my constituents who fear that legislation for same-sex marriage will profoundly encroach - although this may be unintended - on their right to live according to their faith.

We in the so called 'Western civilisations' have so much to learn from other cultures, and they would stand to gain so much by learning from ours. We don't have all the answers - far from it... but nor do any other culture or religion.

If the government has any courage, it will punish those at the top of failed banks.

My real passion is social justice, resolving the lack of empowerment, the lack of skills, the fact that young people can't get on the housing ladder, they feel they can't have a decent job, they feel they aren't in control of their lives.

I am a very committed Christian. I think my values and everything I do is driven by that.

Transparency will be at the heart of everything I do - it's what parliament expects, and it's what the public deserves.

I envisage there being absolutely no regulation whatsoever - no minimum wage, no maternity or paternity rights, no unfair dismissal rights, no pension rights - for the smallest companies that are trying to get off the ground, in order to give them a chance.

Hunting is alive and well, and so it should be.

I urge the Government to look carefully at scrapping the entire burden of regulation on micro-businesses with, say, three employees or fewer.

It's an uncomfortable fact that leaving the European Union in a way that is true to the referendum result is becoming harder and harder to deliver.

Like so many of my generation and those younger, I have spent most of my life in the E.U., and my instincts were naturally for reform from within.

Ed Timpson is a fantastic minister for early intervention, and Liz Truss is a fantastic minister for Sure Start.

We had the biggest democratic exercise, and the majority voted to leave the E.U. It is our duty to make sure we do that.

Decarbonising our energy system is not some abstract regulatory requirement. It is an essential responsibility that we hold towards our children and grandchildren as the only way to effectively counter the threat of climate change.

However we choose to leave the E.U., let me be clear: we remain committed to dealing with climate change.

The U.K.'s climate change act was passed by a majority of 463 votes to three. That is really quite extraordinary. The will of parliament has rarely been expressed so strongly and unambiguously.

I want to live in a Britain whose residents are determined to speak English.

Individual bankers are rightly being investigated by the police. I and all colleagues in the chamber hope that if criminality is proven, they will go to jail and bear the same brunt of punishment as any other criminal.

For many parents - myself included - I would be extremely happy for my children to grow up finding that their LGBT classmates are exactly the same as them.

One of my own kids was in a class with a friend who had two mums, and that was absolutely normal right from a very young age. I think it's important that we absolutely accept equality in every area whilst at the same time respecting that parents may have concerns about how young their children are when they become aware of these things.

Prosperity should be our goal, not austerity.

My first task is to show how great we are as a nation - let's banish the pessimists.

As an employer, we're not - let's face it: most of us don't employ men as nannies. Most of us don't. Now you can call that sexist; I call that cautious and very sensible when you look at the stats. Your odds are stacked against you if you employ a man.

The wellbeing we all crave goes hand in hand with economic success.
