Speeches by Campbell.

“However, we were thinking about how we mitigate the potential problem you raise. We have thought about when we would like the debate. It is Dyslexia Awareness Week on 6 to 12 October, when we are in recess. If we could have it the week after, that gives people enough time to put it in their diaries, to slot out that th…”

“We have done a lot. I am the chair of the all-party parliamentary group on dyslexia. There are a lot of Members who are very keen for this to be taken forward.”

“Thank you to the Chair and the Committee for giving us the opportunity to discuss our application. Following on from Adam’s points, I want to continue with our reasons for requesting the debate. Across the country, dyslexic pupils are regularly excluded from the best experience that education can provide. Dyslexia can …”

“3. What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to promote equality as part of the Government mission entitled “break down barriers to opportunity.””

“Under the previous Government, there was an increase in inequality and in the attainment gap, and lower performance in core subjects such as maths and science. Dyslexic students and students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in my constituency of Broxtowe have been further disadvantaged by delays and misdia…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Butler. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Newport West and Islwyn (Ruth Jones) for bringing this issue to the House. I appreciate her advocacy for those who are going through persecution because of their Christian belief. Nobody deserves to be persecuted because…”

“10. Whether she is taking steps to help support churches in Broxtowe to meet the criteria for a gold Eco Church award.”

“I thank my hon. Friend for her reply. On a recent visit to St Michael and All Angels church in Bramcote in my constituency, they were proud to show me the plaque they had received for meeting the silver standard for eco churches. Will my hon. Friend join me in congratulating St Michael and All Angels, and Christ Church…”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh South West (Dr Arthur) for introducing the Bill. Many of my constituents have shared with me their experiences of rare cancer, and the experiences of their families and friends. Rare cancers make up almost half of cancer diagnoses, so the Bill is very much welcome. A cons…”

“I rise to speak to amendments 407 and 410. Amendment 407 would leave out the word “may” and insert the word “must”, and would require the High Court to hear from and question all persons who made the application for a declaration. It is a probing amendment, which aims to question the guidelines for the judge to questio…”

“The probe that I have on that point is that the individual who is seeking the assisted death, and the doctors who have been working with that person, really have all the information. I am trying to ascertain, if we are not going to agree on this amendment, who else they would be seeking information from. Is there a ris…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for that explanation. I move on to amendment 410, which would remove the ability of the court to hear from and question any person other than the person who made the application or the declaration for an assisted death and the assessing doctors. I have strong reservations about using a proxy or g…”

“I will speak to amendment 142, which would insert “and how it will be administered” into the Bill. It would require the assessing doctor to explain and discuss with the person how the substance that might be provided to assist them to end their life will be administered. The amendment would be a key step towards giving…”

“Amendment 143 has been withdrawn.”

“I will speak to amendment 127, which is a probing amendment. I will not press it to a vote, but the reason I tabled it is that I felt that the phrase “as soon as reasonably practicable” was a little vague. I was taking into consideration the fact that we often talk about people who have six months to live, who are elig…”

“rose—”

“I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Amendment proposed: 288, in clause 4, page 2, line 36, at end insert— “(6) All efforts to dissuade the person from ending their own life must be recorded in the clinical records and subsequently made available to the medical examiner.”—(Sean …”

“Throughout the debate, we have spoken consistently about things that happen normally within medical practice, but the amendment we are discussing would move us away from ordinary practice. Could the Minister explain why we would do that?”

“Based on the fact that we agreed on amendment 341, I am prepared not to press amendment 125 to a vote. It is amendment 126 that I am proposing.”

“I will speak to amendments 125 and 126, which are linked to new clause 7. Given the discussion we have just had, and given that amendment 341 has been made, I will not push amendment 125 to a vote. Amendment 126, however, provides that any medical practitioner who wishes to provide assistance under the Bill must have o…”
