Scottish Parliament: Short-term Lets Licensing Scheme (13 Sep 2023)

Sue Webber: ...care in Edinburgh is bad enough, frankly. I have also been contacted by the manager of the McNeil Trust, a charity in Edinburgh that provides free self-catering accommodation for members of the Christian Science community. She is concerned about how the legislation in its current form is affecting charities such as the one that she manages. From an email that she has sent this afternoon, I...

National Health Service (13 Jul 2021)

Graham Brady: ...being in attendance. I want to focus in the brief time available on a specific point: the importance of respecting religious freedom. Lime Tree House in Sale in my constituency is one of only two Christian Science care homes in the country. The rights of Christian Scientists were protected by the Labour Government when the Care Standards Bill was introduced in 2000. The then Minister, Lord...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members' Business: Human Trafficking and Exploitation (Further Provisions and Support for Victims) Bill: Second Stage (23 Sep 2013)

Basil McCrea: ...number of women involved in prostitution and the incidence of trafficking. It may well be of interest to Members on the Benches opposite to hear that, in terms of effectiveness, in June 2009, 'The Christian Science Monitor' reported that when the Swedish public radio services: "posted fake ads for sexual services on websites in May, they were swamped with almost 1,000 inquiries." There is...

Care Bill [HL] — Committee (4th Day) ( 3 Jul 2013)

Baroness Barker: ...78A and 78B, which stand in my name and that of the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Kings Heath. These and other amendments which will crop up throughout our discussions have been inspired by the Christian Science movement. I wish to say that I am not a Christian Scientist, but Christian Scientists hold to some very firm beliefs which are of great importance to them. Part of their belief system...

Health and Social Care Bill: Report (5th Day) ( 6 Mar 2012)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: ..., it was about standards in nursing homes where there was some concern that an insensitive regulator would take action against a home that was actually respecting the wishes of a member of the Christian Science religion. We were able to reach a satisfactory solution. An appropriate amendment was put forward and I think the noble Earl, Lord Howe, was also part of what I like to think of as...

Standards and Privileges (23 Jul 2007)

George Galloway: ...the very same week and in the very same city, and which passed through the hands of a journalist from the very same newspaper, The Daily Telegraph. I refer to the forged documents published by The Christian Science Monitor and almost published by The Mail on Sunday in England. By the way, Mr. Speaker, those documents looked really authentic. They were on proper headed notepaper, with...

Press Regulation ( 8 May 2006)

George Galloway: ...in damages and costs to me and my lawyers as a result of those libels. That a crime was committed against me in Baghdad by forgers constructing fake incriminating materials cannot be gainsaid. The Christian Science Monitor published on its front page a story that I had received more than $10 million in regular payments from a son of Saddam Hussein whom I never met, beginning a year before...

Address in Reply to Her Majesty's Most Gracious Speech (24 May 2005)

Lord Dixon-Smith: ...noting that the first phase of the Kyoto agreement was supposed to save roughly 0.5 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per annum across the world. From that well known radical newspaper, Christian Science Monitor, I found that the energy aspirations of China and India with a relatively small contribution from the USA would, if fulfilled using coal for generation, add 2.5 billion...

Public Bill Committee: Civil Contingencies Bill: Clause 22 - Limitations of emergency regulations (10 Feb 2004)

Oliver Heald: Can the Minister give us any idea about what is the balance of opinion across other jurisdictions? He has probably seen the 16 examples from American states that the Christian Science committee on publication have sent me and the Liberal Democrats. It seems that some enlightened states, such as Connecticut, Arizona, and Delaware—and even some that are not so enlightened—seem to have a...

Electoral Fraud (Northern Ireland) Bill ( 4 Mar 2002)

Lord Williams of Mostyn: ...or sea; or an elector registered as an overseas voter. Such application must be supported by one of the following: a Service declaration; the attestation of a registered doctor, registered nurse or Christian Science practitioner who is treating the applicant; proof that the applicant is claiming the relevant disability allowance; or an employment declaration. An absent vote must be...

Care Standards Bill [H.L.] (28 Mar 2000)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: My Lords, I am most grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Weatherill, for allowing me to, I hope, reassure him in relation to the position of Christian Science houses. The effect of the noble Lord's amendment would be to exempt Christian Science houses and nursing homes from the requirement to register with the commission. Perhaps I may say right at the start that the Government have no intention...

Electronic Devices (Madam Speaker's Statement): Representation of the People (12 Mar 1997)

Ann Widdecombe: ...attested. That also applies to applications made after the normal closing date on grounds of unforeseen health problems. The Representation of the People Regulations 1986 permit doctors, nurses and Christian Science practitioners to make such attestations, but only first-level nurses are currently empowered to attest applications. We have been advised by the Royal College of Nursing, the...

Orders of the Day — Representation of the People Bill: Extension of Permitted Period of Overseas Residence ( 5 Jul 1989)

Jeremy Corbyn: ...parties would not be subject to the election expenses limit because it does not apply to advertising for voters overseas, any more than advertising in various newspapers such as Le Monde, The Christian Science Monitor, or the international version of El Pais, or on Sky television or any other satellite system would be subject to election expenses. It is nonsense to enfranchise people who...

Prayers: Cyprus ( 4 Dec 1987)

Mr Donald Anderson: ...is the wrong way of addressing Mr. Denktash, and it accords a spurious recognition to the Administration in the north. As to such recognition, the Minister may have noticed that in June 1986 the Christian Science Monitor quoted what it called "western officials" as saying that recognition — that is, the recognition of the regime of the Administration in the north — was inevitable in a...

North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (31 Oct 1984)

Ann Clwyd: ...battle was used on NATO's Reforger 1982 exercise. It is now reported in the press that NATO is set to approve a similar policy in Europe under the title "FOFA"—follow-on forces attack. The "Christian Science Monitor" of 10 October 1984 states: NATO sources expect defence ministers to approve this first major shift in alliance doctrine in nearly 20 years when they meet here in December....

The Army (22 Oct 1984)

Mr Roland Boyes: ...its December meeting the NATO military committee, which I believe is the highest committee in the Alliance, will adopt the airland battle strategy for NATO forces. I have before me extracts from the Christian Science Monitor of 10 October 1984, where it is stated categorically that the NATO military committee has backed such a concept, and member state ambassadors and experts are preparing...

Defence (18 Jun 1984)

Mr Roland Boyes: ...have moved from a difficult position, to a virtually impossible position, to an absolutely impossible position. We should look to the strategic arms reduction talks. In an important article in The Christian Science Monitor, Thomas Hirschfeld, a former senior arms control negotiator and a retired State Department official, put the matter as well as it could be put. He said: once the...

Orders of the Day — Northern Ireland Assembly (26 Jul 1982)

Mr John Biggs-Davison: ...does not want the Assembly at all, I ask, in a constructive spirit, for the deferment of the order. We welcome the Secretary of State back from the United States of America. In an editorial, The Christian Science Monitor quotes my right hon. Friend as saying: We must get to the stage where people are responsible for their own decisions or else the extremists will flourish. Judging from...
