Speeches by Woodcock.

“I suggest that our decade of national renewal will ensure that the hospitals that we have promised will be delivered. I am confident about that because things are changing. The new hospital programme has been put back on a firm footing, with every project backed by real funding and a realistic plan, which is equally im…”

“Next month marks 80 years since victory in Europe, and I look forward to attending many VE Day events in my constituency to thank our service personnel of yesteryear. Homelessness is an issue that affects many veterans, so while I welcome the Prime Minister’s pledge to guarantee a roof over the head of every veteran, c…”

“In response to my hon. Friend the Member for Bootle (Peter Dowd), I actually think there are fewer Conservative Members present than there are pages in the book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, which says everything about where they are coming from. I am really grateful to the Secretary of State for her statement and for…”

“I am grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way and for securing this important debate. In my constituency several hunts, including the Heythrop hunt and the Warwickshire hunt which crosses the county border, have been caught red-handed hunting live foxes. Does he agree that such incidents show how urgent it is for the …”

“I accept that it could work, but my view is that it is far less likely to work and that it is more likely to be successful if it is wholly the responsibility of public authorities. I will vote in favour of amendment (d) to new clause 36. It would remove subsection (6), which says: “Regulations under this section may ma…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms McVey. I rise to speak to amendment (b) to new clause 36, which was tabled by my hon. Friend the Member for Shipley (Anna Dixon). The amendment states: “Regulations under subsection (1) may not amend, modify or repeal section 1 of the National Health Service Act 2006.”…”

“I am afraid I just do not agree. My view is that if we are going to do this, it should be done via the NHS. As somebody who stood on a Labour election platform not too long ago, that is something I stand by. We know that geography and socioeconomic factors render access to healthcare, especially private healthcare, une…”

“Will the hon. Member give way?”

“I thank my hon. Friend for his contribution. As I said, we have an opportunity to reduce barriers to trade, support manufacturing, attract investment and rebuild a closer relationship with Europe. The Government have rightly set a mission of making the UK the fastest-growing economy in the G7 by the end of this Parliam…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Mundell. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Colne Valley (Paul Davies) for opening the debate on behalf of the Petitions Committee. Banbury has a proud history as a hub for industry and manufacturing, from the aluminium works, which were crucial to the constructi…”

“I beg to move amendment 442, in clause 28, page 17, line 3, leave out “may” and insert “must”. This amendment will make it an obligation for the Secretary of State to make regulations on the prescribing and dispensing of approved substances, their transportation, storage, handling and disposal and the associated record…”

“I understand. I have said what I need to say on the amendment. I believe that it is relevant. I take your advice, Mrs Harris, but I commend it to the Committee.”

“In response to the point that the right hon. Member for North West Hampshire made—”

“Okay. I would suggest that part of the bureaucracy—”

“I would suggest—”

“I do not accept that they are not relevant to this clause, I am afraid, but I take on board my hon. Friend’s point. If I may finish my quote, the review continued: “There is some difficulty in determining which coma inducing mixture has the most evidence, based on the lack of comparative data between each drug regime a…”

“It is a pleasure to have you in the Chair for the rest of our proceedings today, Mrs Harris. I rise to speak to amendment 443, tabled by my hon. Friend the Member for York Central (Rachael Maskell), which would ensure that the drugs used for assisted death are approved by established regulatory bodies. We know from evi…”

“I understand where the hon. Lady is trying to come from with this, but I am not convinced that management of employee behaviour, such as going against policy set out by a hospice or an institution, should be in the Bill. I am struggling to get my head around the idea that that is what we should be policing. Will she ex…”

“The hon. Gentleman is making a really powerful speech, and I am minded to support the amendment on the basis that there will be a small but significant group of people who, having gone through the whole process, will feel they have been a burden on the people who have gone to all the effort, through every stage, to get…”
