- Business of the House (7 February 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: So that I shall not disappoint my right hon. Friend, may I ask him to tell me, since he recently stated that the order on the Kielder Dam will be laid next week, when Parliament will not now be sitting, what will happen about that order? In the interests of providing water for my part of the world, I should like to know what is the situation.
- Speech Therapy Services (4 February 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: I have had a lot of experience, over many years, with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and supplementary medicines groups. I would prefer to hear from those bodies about their views on the report rather than necessarily hear from the Opposition. Will my right hon. Friend accept—[An HON. MEMBER: "No."] Of course he will accept my feeling that when he puts up a light with the...
- Speech Therapy Services (4 February 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: Mr. Speaker, may I just say to you that as for years I have represented in Parliament the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. [An HON. MEMBER: "The hon. Lady has not."] Indeed, I have.
- Speech Therapy Services (4 February 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: My supplementary question is: will my right hon. Friend, when he hears the views that have been expressed to me, allow a debate on the subject so that the professions can have their case presented properly and not just from the Opposition?

Miss Irene Ward: May I ask—

Miss Irene Ward: May I ask my right hon. Friend—
- Business of the House (31 January 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: Further to that point of order. Will it be in order for somebody today to ask for an analysis of the way in which the ballot is being carried out and whether there are two boxes? It is no good just answering the question. I want an analysis in every mining area of how the ballot is being carried out.
- Business of the House (31 January 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: Jolly good it was.
- Miners (Ballot) (30 January 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: Further to that point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. In this free House of Commons, when there is a matter which is causing the greatest possible concern do we not have some way of arranging to debate it? This is of the greatest possible urgency. It is ridiculous that we cannot debate it.
- Miners (Ballot) (30 January 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: How can the matter be raised?
- Business of the House (24 January 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: May we have a full debate next week on the excellent article on the miners written by Colin Coote which appeared in last Monday's Daily Telegraph, in which the full facts about the miners were very well set out? Will my right hon. Friend bear in mind that, although I am devoted to the miners, I think that they are a maddening lot of people?
- Orders of the Day — Local Government Bill: Transitional Grant of Certain New Authorities (23 January 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: Tyne and Wear will much appreciate the points whioh have been put forward by the hon. Member for Newcastle-upon-Tyne, West (Mr. Robert C. Brown). I find that in general Governments find it awfully difficult to adopt a particular case. They are good at dealing with an overall plan which fits into their concept—for example, when we were told yesterday what they would do about the city...
- Orders of the Day — Local Government Bill: Transitional Grant of Certain New Authorities (23 January 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: Is my right hon. Friend aware that the new clause was supported by the hon. Member for Newcastle-upon-Tyne, West (Mr. Robert C. Brown)? All that my right hon. Friend has done is talk about Avon, about which he seems to know quite a lot. He has not addressed one remark to the problem on Tyne and Wear. As for the reference to dealing with the matter "county by county", Tyne and Wear is two...
- Oral Answers to Questions — Social Services: Nurses' Pay (22 January 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: Will my right hon. Friend bear in mind that, as Vice-President of the Royal College of Nursing, I am fully behind the nurses, as I believe he is? May I ask him to remember that if he wants any help with the Treasury, I am the woman?
- Oral Answers to Questions — Social Services: Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act (22 January 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: Is it not time that my hon. Friend's Department let the House of Commons know which local authorities are not implementing the Act in the way we should like it implemented? I am getting a bit tired of local authorities who, having been given a wonderful Act to help the chronically sick and disabled, do not take advantage of it. We ought to know the local authorities which are failing.
- Rate Support Grants (22 January 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: Although I am certain that the Secretary of State has produced a scheme which he thinks is fair and just—and I am sure that he has done his best—I am a little worried about his constant references to cities. I am delighted to know that Newcastle will receive so much benefit because that in turn will benefit the region to which both my right hon. and learned Friend and I belong....
- Rate Support Grants (22 January 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: That is no answer to my question.
- Oral Answers to Questions — TUC (Meetings) (17 January 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: Will my right hon. Friend accept that the country as a whole is extremely grateful to him for the care he has taken to examine all these problems in a way which is just to all people in the country? Will he also accept that on all these matters we have never had such a first-class Prime Minister?
- Business of the House (17 January 1974)
Miss Irene Ward: Since we seem to have a little more time left to us, may I ask my right hon. Friend please to take action to lay the appropriate order on the Kielder dam? After all the help he is seeking to give to the North—which unfortunately does not seem to have made any impression on the Secretary of State for the Environment—may I ask him to ensure that the order is laid without further...
