- Opposition Day 15TH ALLOTTED DAY: National Health Service (29 Jun 2000)
Mr Jeremy Corbyn: ...service itself? We obviously welcome any improvement in the health service, but it is important that that links in with the enthusiasm of ordinary people who are participating in trying to reduce smoking and improve fitness, travel-to-work areas, safety and school safety especially. There are many issues that need to be considered. I hope that the health action zones will continue for...
- Orders of the Day — Latin America (26 Jul 1993)
Mr Jeremy Corbyn: ...the previous farming practice did—and still higher levels of unemployment in the shanty towns around many capital cities of Latin America. Surrounding every capital city in Latin America is a smoking cauldron of extremely poor, extremely bitter and extremely angry people. It might be strange for those in western Europe to note that Latin American countries have refused to pay the...

Mr Jeremy Corbyn: ...awesome. The King's Cross disaster was horrific by any stretch of the imagination.

It seems that the guidance given to local offices by the DHSS head office is unclear about that. I have a case of a young woman who medically and emotionally cannot stand...
- Orders of the Day — London Regional Transport (Amendment) Bill (19 Feb 1985)
Mr Jeremy Corbyn: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I am sure it was not the hon. Gentleman's intention, but he has misled the House. It was the new LRT authority, not the GLC, which banned smoking on London Transport trains.

Mr Jeremy Corbyn: ..., unemployment and people's eating habits and the Health Service. A couple of years ago the community health council in Islington produced a remarkable poster, which showed factories belching smoke from their chimneys, representing poverty and unemployment. At the top of the poster it said, "The National Health Service is great, but it can't consume all their smoke." There is a link...
