| 15 Jun 2025 | Farmed Animals: Cages and Crates “It was a long time ago, and it devastated the industry. Farrowing crates are used to reduce piglet mortality by preventing crushing. It is a serious concern that no responsible farmer would take lightly. As the NFU has rightly pointed out, we need a science-led, managed approach to phasing out their use that gives farm…” agricultureenvironmentsocial-care | 626 |
| 11 Jun 2025 | Spending Review: Health and Social Care “To reiterate: after years of Conservative mismanagement, the NHS is in crisis, with patients left waiting hours for ambulances, women giving birth in unsafe maternity units, and children turning up at A&E with rotting teeth because an NHS dentist cannot be found. That is the Conservative legacy, and they must never…” healthsocial-carefiscal-policy | 413 |
| 11 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Fourth sitting) “It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Vickers. Amendment 12 attempts to ensure that the needs of patients in terms of setting and the design of their wards are considered in their treatment. We are particularly concerned that many people are being treated, as Lord Darzi’s report highlighted, in Victoria…” healthsocial-care | 198 |
| 11 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Fourth sitting) “I appreciate the Minister’s considered reply to the amendments. I just spoke in a debate in the main Chamber about NHS infrastructure and buildings. Although I understand that that is not specifically in scope of the Bill, it is another good example of how the Bill is only as good as the system that it works within. I …” healthsocial-care | 131 |
| 11 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Fourth sitting) “I beg to move amendment 12, in clause 8, page 15, line 11, after “treatment” insert “including the setting in which treatment takes place,”. This amendment ensures that the definition of appropriate medical treatment includes the setting in which treatment takes place.” healthsocial-care | 42 |
| 10 Jun 2025 | Outdoor Education “In Winchester, we are fortunate to have the beautiful south downs and a lot of very productive farms. We had Open Farm Sunday last week. Does my hon. Friend agree that outdoor education, engagement with farms and agriculture and residential weekends are a great way to inspire the next generation of agricultural student…” educationhealthenvironment | 57 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Second sitting) “I thank both hon. Members for their input and their valid points. We appreciate the Minister addressing these concerns. We will not press amendment 9 or 47, but we would like to vote on amendment 8. Question put, That the amendment be made.” healthsocial-carehousing | 43 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (First sitting) “I know that my hon. Friend the Member for Dorking and Horley (Chris Coghlan) has been pushing forward on that very emotive and difficult issue of capacity; he brought it up in his maiden speech and has been campaigning tirelessly on it. My hon. Friend said that the Minister was very constructive in his engagement on th…” healthsocial-carelocal-government | 79 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Rooftop Solar Power “I wish you a very happy birthday, Mr Speaker—your 40th, I am guessing. I was really impressed that Holy Trinity church in Colden Common, which is a heritage building, managed to increase its energy efficiency rating from F to A. Can the Secretary of State give any advice or guidance to communities who wish to improve h…” energyenvironmenthousing | 83 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (First sitting) “It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Vickers. I will speak to amendments 1, 51 and 4 together, as they all relate to housing. Amendment 1 ensures that housing needs are considered as part of care, education and treatment reviews. Amendment 51 ensures that the impact of accommodation and relocation is co…” healthsocial-carelocal-government | 220 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (First sitting) “I beg to move amendment 1, in clause 4, page 4, line 41, at end insert— “(iv) housing.” This amendment ensures that housing needs are considered as part of care, education and treatment review meetings.” healthsocial-carelocal-government | 35 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Second sitting) “I thank everyone for all their insights into our amendments; they were very useful and constructive. I will address a couple of them briefly. First, I thank the hon. Member for Ashford; we totally agree that we want to be moving mental health care—any care, actually, but mental health care specifically—back into the co…” healthsocial-carehousing | 330 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Second sitting) “I give way to the hon. Lady.” healthsocial-carehousing | 7 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Second sitting) “I know how much the hon. Member for Farnham and Bordon enjoys speaking in Bill Committees—we were on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill Committee together a few months ago—and I am really pleased that our amendments have given so much material for discussion. I really appreciate the input from Members on both sides of the Comm…” healthsocial-carehousing | 140 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Second sitting) “I will carry on, if that is okay. Our social and health services need to see the whole person, including their social needs and the factors in their environment that threaten their wellbeing. Trying to treat a mental disorder but failing to account for that person’s lack of housing, which drove their anxiety and depres…” healthsocial-carehousing | 229 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Second sitting) “I thank the hon. Member for his intervention. In my maiden speech, I focused primarily on mental health and on the fact that there are so many demographics of people who we know are at significantly higher risk of suicide and mental ill health than the general population. Whether the issue is more appropriately address…” healthsocial-carehousing | 133 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Second sitting) “I will not argue with an esteemed Member who has the hon. Gentleman’s background in mental health. I take his point as it stands.” healthsocial-carehousing | 24 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Second sitting) “The point of having an at-risk list is that ideally there is proactive contact with people—perhaps in quite a soft way, and perhaps through community hubs, as we have discussed—before they demonstrate a severe mental health crisis. I assume that the people the hon. Gentleman is talking about have already been admitted …” healthsocial-carehousing | 92 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Second sitting) “That is a very insightful point. The list could be longer and is not meant to be exclusive. I am not sure of the answer to the hon. Lady’s question but, taking a step back, we know that the single most common cause of death in women 12 months after giving birth is suicide, and there is no proactive automatic care. If a…” healthsocial-carehousing | 150 |
| 9 Jun 2025 | Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Second sitting) “I do not know the best place for it to be held. That is an important point. For a lot of the issues that Members are bringing up, we are not expecting there to be answers today. However, we want to ensure that they are all being considered, given that the subject might not return to Parliament for another 40 years.” healthsocial-carehousing | 61 |
