Baroness Barran: ...the department has procured over 20,000 defibrillators for schools, with deliveries expected to be completed over this academic year. The department has worked with leading charities, including the British Heart Foundation, the Oliver King Foundation, Resuscitation Council UK and St John Ambulance to update its defibrillator guidance. This revised guidance will give schools the tools they...
Baroness Verma: ...state is different, with different languages, food styles and cultures, and each with a unique place in India’s history. This makes India an incredibly diverse and interesting country. We have a British Indian diaspora in the UK of 1.6 million. Interestingly enough, I was listening to the previous debate about previous generations coming to the UK and thought that it is on great...
Baroness Benjamin: ..., was delivered and unveiled at Waterloo station last year, on Windrush Day, by Windrush pioneers and their descendants and in the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The monument has quickly become a landmark, and Network Rail...
Luke Fletcher: ...research and design, manufacturing and exporting sectors, we have to have a strong research, development and innovation base, but Wales has had historically low levels of R&D for decades. The British Heart Foundation found that, in 2019, total expenditure on R&D in Wales was £794 million, or 1.2 per cent of gross value added. Out of the three devolved nations of the UK and each of the...
Mick Whitley: ...for the new fleet solid support ships to a Spanish-led consortium made the blow even harder to bear. Ministers have stated time and again that they intend to reaffirm value for money as the foundational principle of their procurement strategy. No one in this House is arguing for anything other than delivering the highest value for taxpayers, but that must also mean recognising the...
Suella Braverman: ...hospital admissions for assault with a sharp object amongst under 25s in the Metropolitan Police Force area fell from 465 in 2020/21 to 410 in 2021/22. Drugs We know that the drugs trade is at the heart of much of the homicide, serious violence and neighbourhood crime that blight our communities. Our 10-year cross-Government Drug Strategy published in December 2021 includes £300 million...
Foysol Choudhury: ...a way to tackle the distinct problem that we face. To that end, as a co-convener of the cross-party group on improving Scotland’s health, I am grateful to colleagues from the CPGs on diabetes, heart and circulatory diseases, lung health and stroke for agreeing to participate in a joint inquiry into non-communicable diseases. I am also grateful to the British Heart Foundation for...
Andrew Bridgen: ...captured by industry funding.” Similarly, another investigation revealed that members of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation had huge financial links to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation running into billions of pounds. Ministers, the media and the public know that the foundation is heavily invested in pharmaceutical industry stocks. Unfortunately, the catastrophic...
Steven Bonnar: ...of all in my party are with her and her family after the tragic loss of her son, Ben. May he rest in eternal peace. No parent should witness the loss of their child, and I welcome the positive and heartfelt contributions from across the House today about taking more effective action in preventing this disease. As we have heard, 2,000 people a year in the United Kingdom lose their lives...
Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle: ...would exclude animals and restrict the Bill to plants and possibly fungi. I shall begin with a briefing from 13 animal protection organisations, including the RSPCA, the Conservative Animal Welfare Foundation, the Humane League, Animal Aid, Animal Defenders International and OneKind. They say that the Bill, by including animals, is “a backwards step for animal welfare … increasing the...
the Bishop of Chelmsford: ...the next issue comes along. There is of course real value in reacting effectively in the moment, particularly from those meeting humanitarian need, as seen in the extraordinary response of the British public to the Homes for Ukraine scheme. But there is also value in reflection on the principles that guide such actions and the system that they exist within. What is the purpose of our...
Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay: ...the pandemic, helping more than 5,000 cultural organisations across England. Many of them had little relationship with the Government or the Arts Council until the pandemic hit—or indeed with the British Film Institute, Historic England or the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which helped us to distribute that emergency funding—but they were grateful for the help that came when they...
Jim Shannon: ...speak about that project and what it did, because it shows development potential that could be used for our betterment. It was commissioned in July 2008 by Marine Current Turbines, a subsidiary of British tidal energy company Siemens. The 1.2 MW project used MCT’s SeaGen turbine technology and required an investment of £12 million. The pilot was successful, and I cannot understand why...
Christopher Chope: ...to Question 89695 on Cardiovascular Diseases, in what format the information is held; and if the NHS will make an assessment of the potential effectiveness of the blood test being developed by the British Heart Foundation and Queen Mary University, London, to detect myocarditis.
Jenny Rathbone: The creation of a tripartite social partnership council is at the heart of this legislation. Section 5(2) states that the First Minister must seek nominations for worker representatives from the Wales TUC. You perhaps won't be surprised to know that the Wales TUC and its affiliates supported this process for nominating worker representatives to the council, however unions not affiliated to...
Gareth Johnson: ...I do not claim to be an expert in vaping, I argue it is a positive thing to move people away from smoking tobacco and over to vaping. The organisations the hon. Lady mentioned, such as ASH, the British Heart Foundation and Asthma + Lung UK, have all said that it is 95% risk free. That has to be a good thing. Moving people away from tobacco and giving them the option of vaping is a really...
Lord Callanan: ...Cavendish Publishing, which went on to become one of the country’s biggest academic law publishers. We also recognise his work in social enterprise and establishing networks such as the Mulan Foundation Network and Future First, all of which work to promote social inclusion and raise awareness of the various issues that he described. I am sure that I speak on behalf of the whole House in...
Lord Godson: ..., the Minister still uses the word “terrorist”, because it is not present throughout all the discourse on this subject in this era, including in the media, including the BBC. That goes to the heart of my remarks today. In this context, I welcome that the noble Baroness, Lady Smith of Basildon, also used the T-word—terrorists. Again, it seems important that we retain some moral...
Lord Patel: My Lords, patients with complex and long-term conditions are finding it increasingly difficult to access the care that they need, resulting, as the British Heart Foundation report indicated, in 10,000 excess deaths in people suffering from chronic cardiac conditions. The Minister referred recently to the system being a failure. Does he agree that we need a system that develops care for these...
