Ruth Kelly: ...on conceptions and abortions. (174510,174511, 174513, 174504 & 174506) The information you requested on conceptions, and conception rates was given in answer to a recent question from David Amess MP, which appears in the Official Report of Monday 24 May, No. 91, Column 1201W-1208W. Information on conceptions resulting in abortions was given in answer to another question from David Amess...

Public Bill Committee: Elections Bill: Schedule 1 (19 Oct 2021)

Edward Leigh: Before we continue the debate, I echo what the Minister said on behalf of all members of the Committee about our colleague Sir David Amess. I entered Parliament with him 38 years ago, with over 100 MPs. Many of them rose to great distinction; at least two became Prime Minister. Sadly, there were only three of us left from that intake, and there are now only two. I say to Back-Bench Members...

Public Bill Committee: Energy Bill ( 4 Mar 2008)

Charles Hendry: On a point of order, Mr. Amess. The Committee will remember that last week we had a debate on feed-in tariffs. In the course of that debate, the Minister gave a robust defence of why the Government were not looking at feed-in tariffs and said that they would consult on that, among other issues, in the summer. However, it was suggested in the press over the weekend that the Chancellor is...

[Hugh Bayley in the Chair] — Backbench business — NHS Patient Data (27 Feb 2014)

George Freeman: Thank you, Mr Amess, for the opportunity to wrap up. I thank all the hon. Members who have spoken this afternoon. I thank Opposition Members for their spirit of cross-party support and the Minister for her generous remarks and the encouraging things she said about the Government’s commitment to the process of consultation and to the Patients4Data campaign. I also thank her for what she has...

Public Bill Committee: Health and Social Care (Safety and Quality) Bill: Title (10 Dec 2014)

Jamie Reed: On a point of order, Mr Amess. It would be remiss of me if I did not express my sincere thanks to the hon. Member for Stafford for his welcome work in introducing the Bill. I should personally like to thank, on behalf of the long-suffering, incredibly diligent, amazing Ben Miller, Committee Clerk Kate Emms for all her fantastic work during this process—[Hon. Members: “Hear, hear!”] I...

Fixed-Term Parliaments Bill (Programme) (No. 2): Clause 2 — Early parliamentary general elections (24 Nov 2010)

Chris Bryant: You would rule me out of order, Mr Amess, if I debated whether there should be confirmation hearings for all Ministers and related matters. I understand why some might say that my amendment could be improved upon by including a third category of no confidence motion-one relating to the tabling of an amendment to the Loyal Address at the beginning of a new Parliament. To those who think that...

Public Bill Committee: Promotion of Volunteering Bill: Clause 2 - Statements of Inherent Risk (19 May 2004)

Tim Boswell: On a point of order, Mr. Amess. I draw the Committee's attention to the fact that we have spent five minutes or more in recess in scenes of amiable confusion of the sort that I recall occurring during meetings of the European Council when anything difficult happened. The reason for that—I do not speak in a spirit of censure—is that the Joint Committee on Human Rights report was not...

Tributes to Sir David Amess (18 Oct 2021)

Theresa May: Laughter, service, compassion: these are three of the words that spring to my mind when I think of David Amess. Laughter, because you could never have a conversation with David without laughter and smiling, whether that was because one of the outrageous stories that he was telling, perhaps about one of his colleagues or somebody else—[Laughter.] It was always smiles, always laughter, always...

Tributes: Sir David Amess MP - Tributes (18 Oct 2021)

Lord Sentamu: ...most reverend Primate the Archbishop of Canterbury, the bishops of the Church of England and, I am sure, all Christian people and all people of good will, I am here to offer the family of Sir David Amess and the constituents of Southend West my condolences and the assurance of the prayers of the Church. I am very grateful for all that has been said thus far, and, certainly, we on these...

Leisure Industry (24 Jun 1994)

Charles Hendry: I could not possibly begin my speech without paying tribute to the wonderful speech from my hon. Friend the Member for Basildon (Mr. Amess). Before today, I had not naturally thought of Basildon as the next venue for the Olympic games. The more I thought about it, however, the more evident that possibility became. My hon. Friend has run a marathon performance there for many years. Every...

Ruth Kelly: ...on conceptions and abortions. (175395, 175420, 175421, 175517 & 175516) The information you requested on conceptions, and conception rates was given in answer to a recent question from David Amess MP, which appears in the Official Report of Monday 24 May, No. 9.1, Column 1201W-1208W.

Public Bill Committee: Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill: Clause 78 - Validity of strategies, plans and documents (28 Jan 2003)

Mrs Barbara Roche: On a point of order, Mr. Pike. This is a slightly unusual procedure, but it is nearly 5 o'clock and I think that the Committee did not want the occasion to pass without thanking you and Mr. Amess for the able way in which you have presided over our proceedings. Sadly, it is only this afternoon that I have had the pleasure of serving under your chairmanship, but the sitting has been conducted,...

Business of the House (19 Oct 2023)

Anna Firth: I thank all Members for their wonderful tributes to my incredible predecessor Sir David Amess. Last Sunday was, of course, a sad day for Southend, and I know their comments will be appreciated by Lady Amess, the family and all Southend residents as we remember Sir David’s incredible dedication and courage not only in campaigning for city status, animals and the Music Man, but in his...

Public Bill Committee: Public Bodies Bill [Lords]: Clause 1 - Power to Abolish ( 8 Sep 2011)

Jon Trickett: It is a debatable point. An institution can also be a legal person, as in law, non-human beings can also be persons. Therefore, the term “eligible person” refers not to you and me, Mr Amess, but to bodies corporate. The problem is that, if we look at clause 1(3)(e)—I will do this in more detail shortly—we will see that it contains an extraordinary two separate bodies corporate. One is...

Public Bill Committee: Railways Bill: Clause 42 - Closures guidance (13 Jan 2005)

Greg Knight: On a point of order, Mr. Amess. I am most grateful to the Minister for seeking to answer my point. [Interruption.] It seems as though my point of order is being answered as I speak. I was about to say that we should have a Scottish Minister here to deal with this matter, and I am delighted to see that hon. Lady has materialised. Perhaps, with your indulgence, Mr. Amess, I can repeat the...

Bill Presented — International Trade Agreements (Scrutiny): Clause 1 — How an MP becomes subject to a recall petition process (27 Oct 2014)

Thomas Docherty: With your indulgence, Mr Amess, perhaps I may spend 30 seconds on the issue of parliamentary privilege. In part, the Standards Committee is outside the scope of the Bill, because it would remove the exclusive cognisance of the Committee, and it would be open to judicial review, either by the complainant or the Member of Parliament if either party was unhappy. As the learned and knowledgeable...

Public Bill Committee: Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill: Clause 73 - Compulsory acquisition of land for development etc (28 Jan 2003)

David Wilshire: Before I come on to the substance of what I want to say, I want to tread carefully so that I do not tax you, Mr. Amess, while commenting on the example given by the hon. Member for Ludlow as a reason why he will not support us. He gave us a classic case of using compulsory purchase powers for convenience, which is exactly what I am opposed to. He also developed a powerful argument about...

Public Bill Committee: Public Bodies Bill [Lords] (11 Oct 2011)

Hywel Williams: On a point of order, Mr Amess. In early September we had an orderly and well informed debate on S4C and its funding. I have been approached by many people in Wales over the past few weeks who had believed that the Secretary of State will be responsible for the adequate funding of the channel, which was the basis for our debate on 15 September, but the Government apparently entered into an...

Levelling Up, Housing and Communities: Building Safety (25 Oct 2021)

Lucy Powell: First, let me pay my respects to Sir David Amess. He was a tireless campaigner for building and fire safety, chairing the exceptional all-party parliamentary group on the subject. I last met him only a few weeks ago to discuss the omissions in the Building Safety Bill. His loss will be greatly felt in these crunch weeks of the Bill’s passage. I also welcome the new Secretary of State to his...

[Mr David Amess in the Chair] — Backbench Business — Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (25 Mar 2013)

Grahame Morris: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Amess. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool, Walton (Steve Rotheram) on securing this debate. It is a privilege to follow my hon. Friend the Member for West Lancashire (Rosie Cooper) and other Members who have made constructive contributions. Compared with some other debates that I have been involved with in recent...
