Would the Minister like to intervene?

16 Jun 2025Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Fifth sitting)

It is an honour to serve under your chairship, Sir Desmond. I thank the Minister and the hon. Member for Hinckley and Bosworth for their comments on Liberal Democrat new clause 4. This is another good example of how, although we are aware that it has laudable aims, the Bill will fail without the supporting infrastructu

I think the hon. Member for Farnham and Bordon has spent more time discussing our amendments than I have, so I would like to give him the opportunity to vote in favour of one of them. Amendment proposed: 19, in schedule 3, page 91, line 13, after “patient” insert— “or English qualifying informal patient under 18”— (Dr

In that case, can we have a discussion outside the Committee about how to do this?

16 Jun 2025Mental Health Bill [ Lords ] (Sixth sitting)

I appreciate the valid points that hon. Members have made. The point about running a pilot was a sensible suggestion. We have had something that could be viewed as a pilot in Winchester for two years. We know that it works well, and every £1 spent on it saves £14.08. If I have suggested this amendment in the wrong part

I beg to move amendment 49, in schedule 2, page 87, line 13, at end insert— “(18A) In section 130B (arrangements in relation to independent mental advocates: England), after subsection (3)(d), insert— ‘(e) support the patient’s carer and family members to prepare for the patient’s discharge from hospital treatment, and

My apologies, Sir Desmond. I thought amendment 49 was included in the debate on clause 24.

15 Jun 2025Farmed Animals: Cages and Crates

I absolutely applaud that. That is a very important intervention. The Responsible Use of Medicines in Agriculture Alliance has reported that since 2015, overall antibiotic use in livestock has been reduced by 59%. That is a huge reduction and is very much industry-led. In the UK, farmers are not permitted to treat unle

It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Mundell. I thank the hon. Member for North Ayrshire and Arran (Irene Campbell) for introducing the petition, and I thank all the petitioners who have turned up to watch the debate. The people of Winchester are certainly passionate about the subject; I have received a

15 Jun 2025Farmed 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

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

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.

11 Jun 2025Mental 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

11 Jun 2025Mental 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

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

I know how much the hon.

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

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.

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
