Health and Social Care (13 May 2013)

David Tredinnick: It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Vale of Clwyd (Chris Ruane). I entirely agree with what he said about mindfulness and the need for NICE to ensure that it is available for the treatment of stress in particular. That is all the more important now that we have a Government who have put patient choice at the heart of the health service, a fact that will become more and more...

Health and Social Care (13 May 2013)

David Tredinnick: The Secretary of State will be aware of widespread concern among the herbal medical community that there is no statutory regulation on that area in the Care Bill. Does he agree that if polymorbidity is to be dealt with we must have firm regulation, and that just licensing herbs, as the European Union wants, would destroy the industry?

Business of the House (14 March 2013)

David Tredinnick: My right hon. Friend might recall my raising at Prime Minister’s questions in November 2010 the situation in Parliament square, which I described as “a no-go area surrounded by a campsite”.—[ Official Report, 24 November 2010; Vol. 519, c. 257.] Our right hon. Friend the Prime Minister’s response was that he wanted it “sorted out” as quickly as...

Energy and Climate Change: Alcohol: Minimum Unit Price (14 March 2013)

Reburial of King Richard III (12 March 2013)

David Tredinnick: I am deeply grateful to the hon. Gentleman, whom I called my hon. Friend in a slip of the tongue. I have known him for many years. The overwhelming opinion in the county of Leicestershire is that King Richard III should be buried close to where he has lain for more than 500 years. I hope that, in the end, he finds himself at peace in Leicester cathedral.

Can she confirm that such organisations are eligible for funds from the cancer drugs fund?

Women and Equalities: Women Bishops (22 November 2012)

David Tredinnick: I think it important for Parliament to express a view, but I also think that it would be better for us to pass a short Bill requiring female bishops. We need to put the Church out of its agony, and to end the antiquated voting system to which my hon. Friend has referred. Is my hon. Friend aware that there is nothing new about female bishops? There is a ninth-century mosaic in a Roman basilica...

Points of Order (13 November 2012)

David Tredinnick: On a point of order, Mr Speaker. In fact, I have two points of order, and have given you notice of one of them, which is about Parliament square. As you are aware, the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 made it possible for the square to be cleared, but unfortunately the remaining demonstration seems to have expanded, and is clearly in breach of the “prohibited...

Points of Order (13 November 2012)

David Tredinnick: It is, Mr Speaker; I am most grateful. It will not have escaped your notice that last Monday, 5 November, another demonstration came down Whitehall and then blocked the main gates of Parliament at the time of the 10 pm Division, making it impossible for Members to enter the House via the normal route. I wonder whether you are satisfied with the situation, Mr Speaker, given that at the...

Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: NHS Commissioning Board (Mandate) (13 November 2012)

David Tredinnick: My right hon. Friend’s statement will be widely welcomed, especially his emphasis on an integrated system based on the needs of people. Does he not agree, however, that there is far too little use of complementary medicine outside private health care, and that greater use of herbal medicine, acupuncture and the much under-utilised resource in this country of homeopathic medicine,...

Business of the House (8 November 2012)

David Tredinnick: Will my right hon. Friend update the House on the situation in Parliament square? Despite the welcome clearing of the square, which made it available for the public and tourists during the Olympics and Paralympics. However, one small demonstration remains, which is trying to expand and is clearly breaking the law in using sleeping equipment at night and causing an obstruction. In addition,...

Firearms Controls (31 October 2012)

David Tredinnick: I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for kindly giving me leave to intervene in his Adjournment debate. I wish to raise the issue of the Olympics, and the inability of our pistol team to train in the UK. Does he agree that although we must consolidate the legislation and perhaps ensure that it works more effectively, we should go back to Lord Cullen’s original suggestion, which would...

Points of Order (23 October 2012)
