Tributes to Sir Tony Lloyd (23 Jan 2024)

Karin Smyth: ...over the last couple of years when he was ill. We all seem to have spoken to him and received texts in the last two months, so that phone bill must be very high. Tony had no intention of dying when he spoke to us in those last conversations, but I know from the work that he did with me on assisted dying and the right of people to choose their moment of leaving that that choice to be at...

Proposed British Jewish History Month (11 Jan 2024)

Nickie Aiken: ...constituency, we have evidence of a Jewish presence since Roman Britain. In Threadneedle Street, the Bank of England stands on the site of the London home of Aaron of Lincoln, a Jewish banker who died in 1186. Those familiar with the city of London will have come across the street called Old Jewry, and the name is hardly a coincidence, because the Great Synagogue of London was based there...

Parliamentary Democracy and Standards in Public Life - Motion to Take Note (11 Jan 2024)

Lord Newby: ...is clear what the rules are and that they then have to abide by them. Fifthly, we have reached a point where there are some decisions from which Parliament shies away but which need to be resolved. Assisted dying is a current prime example of this. We should take a leaf out of the book of Ireland, France, Canada and elsewhere and introduce citizens assemblies to debate and make...

International Health Regulations 2005 — [Dame Maria Miller in the Chair] (18 Dec 2023)

Andrew Bridgen: ...necessary steps to facilitate the export of such pandemic-related products, in accordance with timetables to be agreed between WHO and manufacturers” and article 20(1)(e): “provide support and assistance to other Parties, upon request, to facilitate the containment of spill-over at the source.” The entire structure will be financed by a new funding stream that is separate from WHO...

Former Afghan Special Forces: Deportation - Commons Urgent Question (12 Dec 2023)

Baroness Humphreys: My Lords, the UK has a responsibility to relocate these soldiers, otherwise it is likely that they will either die or spend their lives in prison. Will the Minister make it possible for these soldiers to pursue an expedited application process through either the Afghan citizens resettlement scheme or the Afghan relocations and assistance policy, so that they can reside safely in the UK?

Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill (12 Dec 2023)

Alison Thewliss: ...or Border Force, and many actively contact those agencies asking to be rescued. The Bill makes it far less likely that they will do so. They will take more dangerous routes and they will not seek assistance, and the inevitable result is that many more will die in the channel or in the back of refrigerated lorries. The Bill will also leave people at the mercy of exploitative people...

Israel and Palestine — [Sir Mark Hendrick in the Chair] (11 Dec 2023)

Liam Byrne: ...in Gaza, that has now injured 50,000 people in Gaza and that has now rendered Gaza the most dangerous place on earth to be a civilian. Some 2.2 million people are now in desperate need of food assistance. UNRWA—the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which we helped to create all those years ago to bring respite to the people of Gaza and the west bank—now calls Gaza “hell on...

BillS presented: Covid-19 Vaccine Damage Payments Bill (11 Dec 2023)

...and First Reading ( Standing Order No. 57) Sir Christopher Chope, supported by Sir Edward Leigh, presented a Bill to place a duty on the Secretary of State to make provision about financial assistance to persons who have suffered disablement following vaccination against Covid-19 and to the next of kin of persons who have died shortly after vaccination against Covid-19; to require the...

Middle East: UK Military Deployments ( 5 Dec 2023)

Grant Shapps: ...that it is used for the appropriate purposes. He asked about the number of hostages; the United Kingdom has not confirmed exact numbers, partly because it is still unclear whether some may have died in the original 7 October event or in subsequent events, and whether some may be being held. We do not want to cause additional stress, but we know that there are still British hostages being...

Victims and Prisoners Bill: New Clause 20 - Domestic abuse related death reviews ( 4 Dec 2023)

Nigel Evans: ...sentenced to imprisonment for public protection. New clause 3—Functions of an IPP advocate— ‘(1) Any IPP prisoner who has exceeded their minimum tariff period is entitled to ask for the assistance of an IPP advocate. (2) An IPP advocate may not provide legal services or advice to an IPP prisoner. (3) An IPP advocate may— (a) visit and advise an IPP prisoner at the facility where...

Autumn Statement Resolutions - Rates of Tobacco Products Duty (27 Nov 2023)

Derek Twigg: ...that figure is significantly higher. In 2023, Citizens Advice in Halton supported 1,713 clients to access the local food bank or other localised social welfare groups. That is almost as many as it assisted in 2019, 2020 and 2021 combined. The autumn statement also provides little comfort to those who worry about how the Tory mortgage bombshell will continue to affect them. Average rents...

Business and Trade Committee: Energy Social Tariffs (23 Nov 2023)

Amanda Solloway: ...and Wishaw and for Birmingham, Selly Oak both raised the important issue of support for disabled people, particularly those with in-home medical equipment. The Government’s support package assists the most vulnerable with rising energy bills, including charges incurred by patients dependent on medical equipment and devices as part of their homecare. I am reminded of my mother who...

Business and Trade Committee: World Stroke Day (23 Nov 2023)

Bob Neill: ...weakness or speech problems, then it is time to call 999. That has been important in raising awareness. I thank the Stroke Association for the briefing it has provided, as well as others who have assisted in the preparation of my comments, including the Royal College of Radiologists and, from the private sector, Ipsen UK, a biopharmaceutical company that works in this field. I will refer...

Debt in Africa — [Martin Vickers in the Chair] (21 Nov 2023)

Tony Lloyd: ...the need for change—I believed that the world would be very different. I want to relate something from around 30 years ago. I went to the funeral of a very young child in Mozambique. The baby died because the mother simply could not feed that baby. It was shocking at the time to see a baby denied the nutrition that I would expect for my own grandchildren, for my constituents and for our...

Scottish Parliament: Situation in the Middle East (21 Nov 2023)

Fulton MacGregor: ...that Pauline McNeill referred to—a video of a surgeon in Gaza outside a tent who, it was reported, had to carry out an amputation on his own child without anaesthetic. His child subsequently died of the pain. It is horrendous. What more needs to happen? This is just appalling. How can we sit back and let this continue? The whole world should be ashamed. The innocent children and people...

Scottish Parliament: Dying in the Margins Project (16 Nov 2023)

Ruth Maguire: Dying is not something that most of us want to talk about, but we must. As policy makers, we have a responsibility to all our citizens from cradle to grave. The cradle bit is easy to talk about—doing all that we can to make sure that every child who is born here arrives in safety, comfort and love. It is not everything, but the box of essentials to help parents to keep each new Scottish...

King’s Speech - Debate (6th Day) (15 Nov 2023)

Lord Hussain: ...or the whereabouts of the missing soldiers until close to the end of the war in 1945, when a rescue operation was conducted for the release of these prisoners. Sadly, my uncle, Allah Ditta, had died during the rescue operation. The news came as a bombshell to the family, leaving his mother, his blinded wife and the rest of the family in a shock and trauma that left scars in their memories...

Violence Reduction, Policing and Criminal Justice (15 Nov 2023)

Imran Hussain: ...that has already left thousands of innocent civilians dead and has wounded so many more—that has left children without parents, robbed parents of their children, and seen premature babies left to die outside their incubators—will tragically continue. Without a ceasefire, the desperately needed aid and assistance that Palestinians urgently need and cry out for—food, water, fuel and...

King’s Speech - Debate (2nd Day) ( 8 Nov 2023)

Baroness Meacher: ...second concern, supported today by the noble Earl, Lord Arran, as it happens, is the absence of any indication in the King’s Speech that parliamentary time should be allowed for the passing of an assisted dying legalisation law. I declare my interest as honorary president of Dignity in Dying. That organisation has abundant evidence of the significant harm to dying people and their...
