Did you mean sale death?
Gwyneth Dunwoody: ...permanency of a job in the railway industry. Nantwich, on the other hand, although it considers itself distinctly a cut above Crewe, owes its existence to a different industrial scheme. It provided salt, originally to the Roman army and probably to work forces across the county even before that. In other words, the United Kingdom has developed largely because of the economic demands of its...
Caroline Flint: Since 1998, the Government have put in place a comprehensive strategy to tackle smoking and to reduce the deaths caused by smoking. The strategy focuses on action to discourage people from ever starting and help for all smokers, of whatever age and sex, to quit. We are aiming to create a climate where non-smoking is the norm. We have banned almost all tobacco advertising, sponsorship and...
Stewart Stevenson: ...is to be derived from locking up people for a long time. I direct members to the United States' experience. All the states have their own legal, penal and criminological systems. Some have the death penalty; some do not. Not one shred of academic evidence shows a correlation between sentencing policy and outcomes. Indeed, with one exception, the states where the death penalty prevails have...
Pat McFadden: ...children involved, but it is an increasing cost to the country. The Department of Health estimates that the cost of obesity in terms of treatment, absence from work through ill health and premature death may be several billion pounds. Of course no single factor is responsible, but the growth in the number of overweight children must be down in large measure to the diet and the food that...
...see how someone is, we sow seeds of love, which change our world for the better. To fight for justice and to eradicate poverty could gradually wear down the enthusiasm of any politician worth their salt, unless he or she sees signs of success. I pray for all of you who work here that you will see your work make a difference to all Scots and to people beyond these shores: to improve the...
John Smith: ...can take—whether people can stand up and walk around on airlines—the amount of alcohol and water that they can drink, and what people eat on airlines. Indeed, there is a big issue about the salt content of airline food. The pressure in a standard aircraft in 2005 is equivalent to the air pressure 6,000ft above sea level. My point is that all of that is controlled by the airlines, but...
John Smith: ..., others are not. We discussed how wide the compensation should be for the loss of a holiday or being stranded somewhere and having to pay to come back. However, there is no insurance cover for death or personal injury caused by damage to physical or mental health through flying. Indeed, a passenger who is injured or a relative of a passenger who has been killed or injured cannot even go...
Caroline Flint: ...affected by air pollution. The link between air pollution and hospital admissions is derived from statistical correlations between daily air pollution levels and routine daily statistics on total deaths or respiratory hospital admissions. The Department's committee on the medical effects of air pollutants (COMEAP) estimated in 1998 1 that there were 10,500 respiratory hospital admissions...
Lord Swinfen: .... The Charity Commission has sometimes acted in a rather cavalier fashion towards a charity's people, and that should stop. Cases include Iran Aid, where the commission abandoned to starvation and death some 13,500 children in Iraq; the Hedley Roberts Trust, where the commission abandoned to blindness Indian children who worked on the salt pans by cutting off the supply of sunglasses; and...
Stephen Ladyman: ...issues. His zealousness extends to those rare occasions when I treat myself to fried egg and chips in the Tea Room, when he sits next to me looking like an abandoned puppy and tutting when I put salt on my chips. Like him, I believe the Government have done well on the issue, but we can always do more. I hope I can reassure him that the Government recognise the continuing importance of...
Tom Brake: ...per cent. target? Why is climate change—widely recognised to be one of the greatest global threats—hardly mentioned in the report? Why has so little progress been made in repatriating the funds salted away in UK banks by Abacha, for example? The right hon. Gentleman himself highlighted that issue in a speech to the money laundering conference three years ago. UK arms are being used in...
Geraint Davies: .... The conditions include arthritis, heart problems, kidney problems, diabetes and various cancers. Since 1991, diabetes has increased by 65 per cent. in men and 25 per cent. in women, and cancer deaths that are specifically related to obesity have increased by 14 per cent. in men and 20 per cent. in women. The problems are therefore enormous. The economy is also affected, not only by...
Miss Melanie Johnson: ...Dartford (Dr. Stoate) said, and conditions such as osteoarthritis. All those factors led the National Audit Office to highlight the fact that obesity is responsible for more than 9,000 premature deaths each year in England. That is not many compared with the number of deaths from smoking, but it is still a large number of deaths and a major problem. I agree that the problem being stored up...
Sir David Amess: ...no faith that the Government have any clue about how to deal with security. On identity cards, I was the first Member of this House to introduce a ten-minute Bill on this matter, and I am sick to death of just talking about it. Everyone has a birth certificate and a death certificate, so why should we not have a life certificate? It is absolute nonsense to say that such cards are a threat...
Lord Warner: ...people of England, gathering pace after 1948 as the establishment of the NHS enabled free universal provision of immunisation, screening and treatment to make inroads into ill health and premature death. "It should be a matter of pride that a child born today is likely to live nine and a half years longer than one born on the eve of the formation of the NHS in 1948. "However, the role of...
John Reid: ...of England, gathering pace after 1948 as the establishment of the NHS permitted free universal provision of immunisation, screening and treatment to make inroads into ill health and premature death. It should be a matter of pride that a child born today is likely to live nine and a half years longer than one born on the eve of the formation of the national health service in 1948. The role...
Nicola Sturgeon: ...better to say, I will let him preserve his voice. Tackling pensioner poverty should be a priority of the Executive, because it is clearly the Executive's responsibility. Shortly before her death, Barbara Castle said that the pensions policy of the Government in London was designed to "extend substantially the number of pensioners on means test". When that policy is leaving many pensioners...
Helen Southworth: ...or positive health impact. In considering the need for my Bill, I have given particular consideration to the serious negative effect of high consumption of certain ingredients, particularly sugar, salt and fat. Diabetes is a serious, progressive long-term condition. About 1.8 million people are diagnosed with diabetes in the UK, and a further 1 million people remain undiagnosed. There are...
John Whittingdale: ...), whom I am pleased to see in this debate. Last year, he and I attended the service in Chelmsford cathedral to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the great floods, which resulted in more than 100 deaths in Essex. All of us are very conscious, therefore, of the ever-present threat from the sea. That threat is increasing for several reasons. Climate change is leading to rising sea levels,...
Mr Martin O'Neill: ...(Mr. Robertson) that such a debate should take place in Government time. We hold several debates on, for example, the armed services. The issue that we are considering is also a matter of life and death. Perhaps it is not as dramatic as some other subjects but it is as important. The Government new clause constitutes a good compromise. When the relevant amendment came from the Lords, I...
