Speeches by Johnson.

“(Urgent Question): To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care if he will make a statement on hospice funding.”

“I have a very quick question related to what Patrick has just asked and what Jo said about parenting classes. We know that in some cases they can be very effective at helping with children who have a challenging behaviour. How do we change that narrative from being a culture of fear that a parent is being told they are…”

“That is really interesting because what you seem to be saying is that without some change in Government policy your charity will deliver fewer services to deaf and blind children.”

“I want to ask a quick question about what Harriet Edwards said. I was struck by the scale of the figure of £5 million for your charity, if I heard correctly, extra because of the Budget. Do you expect to be able to raise that money from extra donations or do you expect to reduce the headcount of your charity? Do you ex…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Stringer. I congratulate the hon. Member for Harlow (Chris Vince) on securing this important debate. I draw Members’ attention to my entry in the register of interests, as I am a practising NHS consultant, although in paediatrics rather than in any form of gynaecolo…”

“As a farmer’s wife, I understand the emotional impact that my right hon. Friend sets out so clearly. This is about not only the farmers who will be affected but all the farmers who know that they might be affected. This is a tax on tragedy, and no one knows if it will befall them.”

“Do these AGQs contain work placements? Are there any particular difficulties at the moment in obtaining work placements?”

“My constituents are angry that this Government want to cover Lincolnshire’s beautiful countryside with solar panels, ruining the landscape and damaging food security, but they are particularly horrified to hear that many of those solar panels could be produced using slave labour. The Minister has talked about increased…”

“I have a very short question. Catherine, you talked about assessment. Most students—a majority—do A-levels; how reliable is the grading and assessment for A-levels?”

“Are they paid?”

“T2. Air ambulance charities deliver life-saving treatment to people every single day, yet they are under threat from the Chancellor’s rise in national insurance and taxes. The Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance alone will need to find another £70,000 just to pay the national insurance rises. Two weeks ago…”

“Do they get paid?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Betts. I will be brief. The Opposition note that the draft regulations are a response to a Conservative Government-launched consultation, more than 91% of respondents to which were supportive. As Conservatives, we welcome innovation and want to support UK patients g…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Mark. As we mark World AIDS Day, we are called to reflect on the progress that we have made, on the challenges that remain and on the road ahead in our collective fight against HIV and the stigma so often associated with it, especially in the past. The UK has much …”

“Parts of the UK are working to EU regulations, but does the Minister recognise that the statutory instrument he is bringing forward will introduce into the whole of the UK market, regulations that are not currently present in either the UK or EU markets?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Efford. I think we all understand the context of the IMMDS review. Having spoken on Sunday afternoon to a lady who is suffering having had a mesh put in—the skin has never healed over the top and she is facing difficulties—I fully understand the reasons for the regu…”

“The Minister is saying that more regulation will encourage innovation. I am not sure I agree with that premise, but does he accept that these new regulations will lead to a higher regulatory burden on people wanting to set up medtech companies in the UK than in the EU or elsewhere?”

“The challenge is that if we were to ban it altogether, we could risk criminalising people who were already addicted to tobacco products—adults who had made that choice. That is the reason why both present and past Governments put forward a measure to increase the age gradually, but I understand the points that have bee…”

“Prevention is better than cure. As we have heard, smoking is a cause of many premature deaths and much serious ill health. That was why the previous Government introduced legislation to tackle it and restrict access to tobacco purchases for those born after 1 January 2009. This Bill builds on many measures in the previ…”

“Of abuse?”
