This morning I highlighted the vital need for fit‑to‑form PPE, especially in a time of significant national infrastructure development.

Ensuring our workforce has the right protection isn’t optional, it’s essential for safety, equality and productivity.

This is supported by groups such as Centenary Action. The aim of this reporting is to increase transparency and give clearer insight into participation patterns, including for women, so that any barriers in selection systems can be better understood.

Today I hosted a Parliamentary drop in for Endometriosis Action Month with Endometriosis UK.

It was incredibly powerful to speak with those impacted by endometriosis and with the dedicated campaigners working to improve Endo care across the UK.
