Points of Order

Volume 477: debated on Tuesday 17 June 2008

In response to my question, the Minister of State, my right hon. Friend the Member for Bristol, South (Dawn Primarolo), said that she would arrange for a paper to be placed in the House of Commons Library. I checked, and it has not been placed there. I wonder whether it could be placed there today, because it contains important information that answers questions in which hon. Members would be interested.

Reference has just been made to the report on the Nursing and Midwifery Council that was published yesterday, which highlighted the fact that that body was not fit for purpose and had a bullying culture. That vindicated claims made by many on both sides of this House and, in particular, by my constituent, Moi Ali, who is the whistleblower in this matter. She is a black lady who has a claim for racism against the NMC. She has used the internal systems and approached people, including her MP, externally to raise the matter. Because of Buggin’s turn, she is the vice-president at the moment and, sadly, she is being pressured to resign from her job. I wonder whether, through your good offices, Mr. Speaker, the Minister with responsibility could come to the House to make a statement on that report?
