Scottish Parliament: Offshore Wind (14 Sep 2023)

...deliver low-cost energy for consumers and a wake-up call for Government.” Let us also listen to what Dan McGrail, the chief executive officer of RenewableUK, has said: “These results should set alarm bells ringing in Government, as the UK’s energy security and net zero goals can only be met if we have offshore wind as the backbone of our future energy system.” I agree with Dan...

5. Statement by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change: 20 mph default speed limit on restricted roads (12 Sep 2023)

Natasha Asghar: ...further Welsh Government guidance is being provided to enable further speed changes to be reviewed, for example, for 40 mph, 50 mph, and national speed limit roads.' Now, I'll be honest, this set my alarm bells ringing even more so than before, because I want to know: is 20 mph just the tip of the iceberg, and are you planning even more drastic changes going forward when it comes to speed...

Maria Miller: ...entirely and relies only on whether there was consent from the person appearing in the image. Two more serious offences do include intent, with one being sending an image with intent to cause alarm and distress. We also now have the offence of threatening to share an image, which will protect people from potential blackmail, particularly from an abusive partner. That will make a huge...

Prevent: Independent Review ( 7 Sep 2023)

Patricia Gibson: ...levels to play its part in deradicalising and rehabilitating those who have been convicted of terrorist offences, so that when they are released they can go back to their communities without causing alarm. What action is she taking to address the staffing crisis in our prisons, as part of this strategy?

HMPPS Update ( 7 Sep 2023)

Rosena Allin-Khan: .... That makes staff retention impossible. In those circumstances, mistakes will happen. Will the Secretary of State list the meetings that he has held with the prison leadership since I raised the alarm many months ago? Will he also tell us the average number of staff per shift at Wandsworth prison and the number of staff forced to take “payment plus” overtime shifts? Sadly, this escape...

Scottish Parliament: Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete ( 7 Sep 2023)

Shirley-Anne Somerville: ...that information was completely reckless and irresponsible. The secretary of state’s disregard of the work of devolved Governments could not be clearer. More importantly, it has spread unnecessary alarm among parents, staff and children. As I stated earlier, work has been under way to deal with RAAC in the school estate. To date, RAAC has been identified in 40 school buildings across...

Safety of School Buildings ( 6 Sep 2023)

Rebecca Long-Bailey: ...to spend any money on surveys to find out. Even after that, in May 2022, when Government documents were leaked to The Observer showing that school buildings could be a risk to life—causing great alarm in schools up and down the country—half the schools then applied for funding to remediate and did not get a penny from Government. In June 2023, the National Audit Office said the...

Scottish Parliament: Equality within the 2023-24 Programme for Government ( 6 Sep 2023)

Miles Briggs: ...; they are just not being delivered by local government, because it does not have the resources to do it. In conclusion, homeless charities across Scotland and cross-party voices are raising the alarm. There is growing concern about the housing emergency that Scotland faces today. We need an emergency response from the Government now and we need fresh leadership from the cabinet secretary....

Countess of Chester Hospital Inquiry - Statement ( 5 Sep 2023)

Baroness Merron: ...Lucy Letby may not yet be fully known, as Cheshire police have widened the investigation to now cover her entire clinical career. There are heroes in this story—the doctors who fought to sound the alarm in the face of a hard-headed and stubborn refusal to even consider the evidence that was brought forward. I am sure that the whole House would wish to join me in recognising the courage...

Disability Benefits: Assessments — [David Mundell in the Chair] ( 4 Sep 2023)

Vicky Foxcroft: ...happen again. In recent weeks, it has also been reported that, in a bid to reduce the welfare bill, the Treasury may consider cutting or means-testing PIP. Unsurprisingly, that has caused further alarm among disabled people and those who work with and represent them. Citizens Advice also estimates that disabled people in England and Wales are missing out on £24 million a month because of...

Countess of Chester Hospital Inquiry ( 4 Sep 2023)

Wes Streeting: ...the sentencing helped to bring them some closure, even though the cowardly killer dared not face them in court. I wish to pay tribute to the heroes of this story: the doctors who fought to sound the alarm in the face of hard-headed, stubborn refusal. This murderer should have been stopped months before she was finally suspended. Were it not for the persistent courage of the staff who...

All-party Parliamentary Groups (19 Jul 2023)

Deidre Brock: ...-operation and cultural and economic partnerships between the UK and other nations, but evidence suggesting that some foreign Governments may be exploiting APPGs to promote their views should raise alarm bells across this place.

HIV Action Plan Annual Update 2022-23 — [Dame Caroline Dinenage in the Chair] (18 Jul 2023)

Andrew Gwynne: ...The Terrence Higgins Trust is aware of people who have, tragically, acquired HIV while waiting to access PrEP. That is clearly unacceptable. Such cases were entirely preventable and should seriously alarm Ministers. The HIV action plan included a commitment to develop a plan for PrEP access beyond sexual health services. However, more than a year on from that commitment, there is no...

Electronic Travel Authorisation: Northern Ireland (18 Jul 2023)

Stephen Farry: ...fertile ground for perpetuating biases and heightening the risk of racial profiling. The instance of racial discrimination and profiling within the common travel area has generated significant alarm, with direct negative consequences on our racialised and migrant communities. We would welcome clarity on how the Government intend to safeguard the rights of people of colour departing the...

Radiotherapy: Accessibility — [Dame Maria Miller in the Chair] (18 Jul 2023)

Tim Farron: ...treatment. As has been said, the international standard for the number of people with cancer who should receive radiotherapy is 53%; in the United Kingdom, it is only 27%. That should ring enormous alarm bells in all parts of the House and in every corner of the national health service, but I am afraid that it does not feel like that is happening. There are many reasons behind that, but...

Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill: Schedule - Minimum service levels for certain strikes (17 Jul 2023)

Justin Madders: ...necessary. The evidence to date and the opinion of the ILO say otherwise. I referred to the fact that the ILO is not alone in expressing concerns about the Bill.

Backbench Business: Post Office Ltd: Management Culture — [Sir George Howarth in the Chair] (13 Jul 2023)

Kevan Jones: ...were prosecuted. The numbers went up substantially, so why was nobody at the Post Office saying, “Wait a minute: have we suddenly got a load of kleptomaniacs employed as sub-postmasters?” Alarm bells should have been ringing, and yet the Post Office doubled down on prosecuting people. My constituent Tom Brown went through agony for two years after being arrested for allegedly...

Summerland Fire: 50th Anniversary (12 Jul 2023)

Justin Madders: ...staff who were part of the “fire-fighting party” were not aware of their membership of it, demonstrating the absence of satisfactory training. There had also been unapproved changes to the fire alarm system, creating a delay before the alarms sounded and the fire station was alerted. The automatic fire alarm from Summerland alerted the fire service at 8.05 pm. However, the public...
