Speeches by Johnson.

“I agree wholeheartedly that we should not use our best agricultural farmland for solar panels. The previous Government took steps to establish a £50 million fund to incentivise rooftop installations on farm buildings. That is the right measure to maximise the efficient use of land. This Government’s approach, by contra…”

“My right hon. Friend is of course right, as usual, and I will address that point in more detail later in my speech. Even if we could resolve all those production, recycling and transportation issues, and so accept that solar is viable for the UK, ground-mounted solar projects are not the right approach. Panels installe…”

“I beg to move, That this House has considered solar farms. I must first inform the House that my husband is a farmer and agricultural contractor. I am very grateful to the Backbench Business Committee for allowing me time for a debate on large-scale solar farms. There are some things that Members across the House can a…”

“Looking at the effect on the other children is part of the question.”

“Independent schools are inspected against the independent schools standards, which are different because they have related entries for flexibility of governance, selection admissions and other things, so the standards are necessarily different. However, it has been suggested that in some areas of SEND metrics for asses…”

“My question is for Adam. In Lincolnshire, where my constituency is, the SEND services have been rated “outstanding”, which from what you have said is quite an unusually good rating for across the country. What are you doing to ensure that other counties and other areas can learn from where Lincolnshire is doing things …”

“Yes. Head teachers are telling me that if they do not have adequate resources to manage a particular child within the classroom as they required to, they are caught in a Catch-22 situation. If they bring the child into the classroom and try to manage them with inadequate resources, the whole class potentially does not …”

“You talked about exclusions, part-time timetables, alternative provision of resources being used. Could those things be considered a reflection of inadequate resources? I met some head teachers recently who talked about the behaviour challenges for the whole class. They have a duty to the child with special needs but t…”

“Would that help children with special needs or could it lead to some schools changing admission criteria?”

“Before the Minister concludes, could she answer my questions on national insurance and on below-inflation pay rises? If not, will she commit to answering my remaining questions by letter?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Desmond. The draft regulations will make amendments to the Medical Device Regulations 2002, the Blood Safety and Quality Regulations 2005 and the Medical Devices (Northern Ireland Protocol) Regulations 2021. The core changes made by the draft regulations will inclu…”

“Taking medicines on time is important, especially for those with conditions such as diabetes and epilepsy. Dr Acheson, an A&E consultant who has time-critical medicines for his own Parkinson’s disease, understands that well. He has been running a quality improvement programme to ensure that time-critical medicines …”

“I thank the Secretary of State for that answer, and I would be delighted to meet him to discuss it further. Unfortunately, when Labour negotiates, Britain loses. The Government capitulated to union demands with nothing in return. It is therefore of no surprise to anyone that within months, they are back in dispute with…”

“My right hon. Friend raises important questions that I hope the Minister will answer. It is important to look at the data that we already have. That was the next part of my speech—my right hon. Friend is, as usual, reading my mind. Given that these drugs have been used on hundreds of patients at GIDS alone, why not loo…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Lewell. I start by making a declaration of interest as an NHS consultant paediatrician and a member of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. My work in the NHS at times involves looking after children who may have gender dysphoria, although it is not sp…”

“That is not what I said.”

“I understand the hon. Lady’s point. I do not dispute that some women, men, boys or children have awful experiences at the hands of bad apples. That will happen within any organisation of that size—the NHS employs more than 1 million people. That is wrong and should be rooted out; it is absolutely clear that that should…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Furniss. I, too, congratulate the hon. Member for Clapham and Brixton Hill (Bell Ribeiro-Addy) on securing this important debate today. As she said in her opening speech, the UK enjoys some of the best outcomes in the world when it comes to maternity health, but the…”

“I think we have both made our positions clear. I accept that some people will have received poor care and that the people who delivered that poor care need to be hauled over the coals. They need to be called out for what they have done and we must ensure that such care does not happen again. But I do not accept that th…”

“I think we can both agree that any examples of racism are reprehensible and should be rooted out and that, in the examples given, people are speaking truthfully of their perceptions and what they have experienced. No one is denying the experiences of individuals or groups who have experienced poor care and that that po…”
