Orders of the Day — CONSOLIDATED FUND (No. 3) BILL (26 Mar 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: There are now 21 councils that already give this service free. What will happen to them if the Bill is passed?

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: France (21 Mar 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: At the recent WEU meeting, I asked M. Debré, the French Minister of Defence, whether he would have further consultations with the new Governments of Australia and New Zealand, and he definitely turned me down. Can my right hon. Friend reopen those negotiations?

Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: Middle East (21 Mar 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: When does the EEC intend to set up a Foreign Affairs secretariat?

Orders of the Day — Royal Navy (21 Mar 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: I am glad to be called to speak after the hon. Member for Portsmouth, West (Mr. Judd), since we both represent dockyard towns, but I dissociate myself from his final remarks. He had made an excellent speech until the last few minutes. Since this is a short debate I shall concentrate on two points. The first concerns HMS "Albion". Is it to be scrapped or not? When it is converted into a...

Orders of the Day — Defence (19 Mar 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: When I said that, I was quoting some words of my own Minister.

Defence (15 Mar 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: I was interested to hear the remarks made by the hon. and learned Member for Montgomery (Mr. Hooson) but I am not certain that I agreed with all he said. I wish to place on record my disagreement with the right hon. Member for Kettering (Sir G. de Freitas). I believe that it would be a great pity if Greece were not in NATO and that it would leave the Turks very vulnerable. I hope that the...

Social Security ( 7 Mar 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: As my right hon. Friend mentioned war widows, may I ask what has been done for war widows who were widowed before 1950?

Orders of the Day — Representation of the People Regulations (26 Feb 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: I agree with much of what the hon. Member for Bristol, South (Mr. Michael Cocks) said. But I want to raise two other, different points. The hon. Member spoke of people being absent on business. I cannot understand why people cannot have the vote when they are on holiday. People take holidays all the year round now. Such people are not in a special category. Over 7 million people are taking...

Orders of the Day — Representation of the People Regulations (26 Feb 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: What about the holiday maker? Will that aspect of the matter be dealt with?

Immigration Rules (21 Feb 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: I hope that the hon. Member for Southall (Mr. Bidwell) will forgive me if I do not take up any of his points. Instead I wish to raise one specific matter related to au pairs and domestic workers. For a number of years I have been trying to establish some real organisation of these girls. I have been trying to get the Government to sign the European Convention on au pairs which would give...

Orders of the Day — Domicile and Matrimonial Proceedings Bill (16 Feb 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Perth and East Perthshire (Mr. MacArthur) on his excellent Bill. I was a little surprised to hear the speech of my hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow, Hillhead (Mr. Galbraith). He seems to think that Scottish people are more permissive than those in England and must be more protected. I do not think that will go down well with women in Scotland.

Orders of the Day — Domicile and Matrimonial Proceedings Bill (16 Feb 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: That was the impression given by my hon. Friend, but if he is contradicting me I am glad to hear it. I should like to thank Lord Justice Scarman who has done so much, and given up so much of his time, to try to make us realise how people can become happier if some laws are changed. Only last year he came to a conference which I organised at Church House to help with matrimonial...

Orders of the Day — Employment Agencies Bill (16 Feb 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: I am pleased to support the Bill because I supported the Bill of the hon. Member for Putney (Mr. Hugh Jenkins) and went through quite a lot of the Bill's struggles with him. I am sorry that we have not ratified the ILO Convention. It is interesting, and perhaps we will bear this in mind, that no English-speaking country has ratified that convention. That is a pity. I agree with the hon....

Orders of the Day — Employment Agencies Bill (16 Feb 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: I thank my hon. Friend. But the necessity for qualifications is still very desirable. Another example is provided by an agency in Glasgow which has a connection with an agency in New York, which sends the girls over here. Where is the control to be in such cases? I have taken this point up with the Department, and I think my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State knows about it. It is...

Orders of the Day — Employment Agencies Bill (16 Feb 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: I am very glad to hear that, but the Bill does not make it clear. With regard to organisations to which the Bill does not apply, I understand the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Harrow, West, and I should like provision to be made, and perhaps it can be made later, for them also to be inspected. Inspection will otherwise be difficult. Can we not find words suitable for this...

Orders of the Day — ANTI-DISCRIMINATION (No. 2) BILL (14 Feb 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: Are women who have married and who have children not grown up?

Orders of the Day — ANTI-DISCRIMINATION (No. 2) BILL (14 Feb 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: I should like to remind my hon. and learned Friend that he said the same thing about attachment of earnings, and that that has now led to legislation. He also said the same thing about guardianship, and that matter is being dealt with in the House of Lords.

Business of the House ( 8 Feb 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: In view of the very important recommendations in the Report of the Departmental Committee on the Adoption of Children—the Houghton Report—may I ask my right hon. Friend whether we are to have a debate on this in the near future?

Oral Answers to Questions — Social Services: Carcinoma of the Cervix ( 6 Feb 1973)

Miss Joan Vickers: Has there been an increase or a decrease in the number of women using this valuable service over recent years?

European Communities (22 Nov 1972)

Miss Joan Vickers: I should like to ask my right hon. Friend a question about Order No. 1582, dealing with schools. I notice that the order says, This Order may be cited as the European Communities (European Schools) Order 1972". The note below merely refers to the school in Luxembourg, but others have been set up previously. Will they come under the order? I refer in particular to the International Lycée,...
