International Human Rights Abuses: UK Response — [Dame Maria Miller in the Chair] (24 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: Will the Minister give way?

International Human Rights Abuses: UK Response — [Dame Maria Miller in the Chair] (24 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: I want to mention the death penalty sought against Yasin Malik, who is a freedom-fighting activist. Why are we not talking about him?

International Human Rights Abuses: UK Response — [Dame Maria Miller in the Chair] (24 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: It is an absolute pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dame Maria. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Luton North (Sarah Owen) on her absolutely superb speech, which was so broad ranging. It really was fantastic. I want to focus on human rights abuses in Palestine and Kashmir. I am chair of the all-party parliamentary Kashmir group, and vice-chair of the Britain-Palestine...

International Human Rights Abuses: UK Response — [Dame Maria Miller in the Chair] (24 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: I totally agree. As we have seen, we were asleep at the wheel on Israel and Gaza. A few years ago when we visited Pakistan, we were warned by the high commissioner that Kashmir, at a geopolitical level, is the most significant concern for stability and safety. We cannot go on ignoring Kashmir; as my hon. Friend mentioned earlier, we must get resolution, together with the Kashmiri people, who...

Prime Minister: Engagements (24 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: If everyone had the same good health as the least deprived 10% of the population, in England there would have been 1 million fewer deaths between 2012 and 2019, and 28,000 fewer deaths in the first year of covid. Those inequalities are not inevitable. Does the Prime Minister think that cuts in social security to 85,000 low-income households, including people in low-paid work in my...

Tributes to Sir Tony Lloyd (23 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: It is so sad that today we are paying tribute to our dear friend and colleague, and my constituency neighbour, Tony. I have listened to so many stories this afternoon, and it is a testament to the person Tony was that people from all sides of the House have spoken so strongly about him. I hope that provides some comfort to his family and his staff, who I know loved him so much. One thing that...

Action Against Houthi Maritime Attacks (23 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: I, too, share concerns about what the strategy is, what the contagion to the rest of the middle east will be, and the possibility that might be bolstering the Houthis’ position in Yemen. Can I ask the Prime Minister about a constituent’s partner, who I mentioned to the Leader of the House last Thursday? He has been awaiting evacuation from south Gaza for a number of months. He has now...

Measles (22 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: There are clear inequalities in vaccination uptake, including MMR, which reflect various socioeconomic inequalities. What extra support is being given to those areas, and to places such as mine, and why, as the Chair of the Health and Social Care Committee suggests, was the risk assessment of the UK Health Security Agency seemingly ignored by the Government?

Business of the House (18 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: May I add my condolences to Tony Lloyd’s family? He was a dear friend and colleague, and he was particularly kind to me when I was first elected in a by-election, 13 years ago. My constituent’s partner has been awaiting evacuation from Gaza for months now. Her partner has evidence that others in exactly the same circumstances as him are being prioritised over him. Although my office and I...

Cabinet Office: Public Procurement: Covid-19 (18 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: Whether he has made an assessment of the adequacy of public procurement processes under covid-19 emergency regulations.

Cabinet Office: Public Procurement: Covid-19 (18 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend the Member for Slough (Mr Dhesi). In spite of the Minister’s protestations, the evidence is to the contrary —[Interruption.]

Cabinet Office: Public Procurement: Covid-19 (18 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: The fact that Ministers’ mates can get these lucrative contracts, as last month’s evidence showed, while tens of thousands of our constituents struggle to put food on the table is an absolute disgrace. Of the £12.6 billion-worth of personal protective equipment contracts let in 2020, will the Minister confirm—I have evidence on this, so I advise him to choose his language...

Energy Security and Net Zero: Topical Questions (16 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: More than 15% of families in my constituency live in fuel poverty, with a median energy efficiency score of just 65. How much of the 2019 general election manifesto pledge to spend £9.2 billion on improving energy efficiency has gone on retrofitting existing properties and not on new builds?

Defending the UK and Allies (15 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: As much as the Houthis might wish to conflate their piracy with support for the Palestinian people, their indiscriminate attacks on shipping from across the world indicate otherwise. But while I agree that under international law there was justification for this military intervention, what was the Prime Minister’s assessment of the risk that the action could ignite conflict across the...

Backbench Business: New Dementia Treatments (11 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: I am reassured to some extent by what the Minister says, and I am grateful for her tone and her positive approach. Given the inequality—let us call it what it is—in current diagnosis, and these are non-specific dementia diagnosis rates, have she and her Department conducted any analysis of the gaps in more specific PET and CSF testing? Can she publish that data or write to us with it?...

Backbench Business: New Dementia Treatments (11 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship this afternoon, Mr Sharma. I congratulate the right hon. Member for Ashford (Damian Green) on securing this very important debate and on his excellent speech. I learned a few things from that speech, and I had thought I was quite well informed on the developments in dementia research. As some people may know, my mum, Angela, was diagnosed with...

SEND Provision and Funding (11 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: Is my hon. Friend as concerned as I am about the regional inequalities in respect of both the prevalence of EHCPs and the inadequate resourcing that reflects this particular need?

Finance Bill: Clause 1 - Permanent full expensing etc for expenditure on plant or machinery (10 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: Following on from the comments of the hon. Member for Amber Valley (Nigel Mills) about the impact of the schemes and given the Federation of Small Businesses’ request for some publication about the impact of these tax reliefs on R&D levels, will the Minister also publish a report on their impact on different regions and subregions?

NHS Dentistry ( 9 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: I find it absolutely extraordinary that the Health Secretary lectured the shadow Health Secretary on calling a debate to hold this Government to account. Twelve million people are not able to access dental care, including thousands in my Oldham constituency.

NHS Dentistry ( 9 Jan 2024)

Debbie Abrahams: You are the Government, unless you want to call a general election.
