Medicinal Cannabis

Commons Chamber on 18 June 201818/06/2018

As the former Minister for medicines regulation, may I welcome the intervention of the Home Secretary and the Policing Minister this week? When I tried to look at this issue as a Minister, the message that I got was that it was the Home Office that was s...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 13 June 201813/06/2018

I have a lot of sympathy with the points that my right hon. and learned Friend is making, and indeed those that the right hon. Member for Leeds Central (Hilary Benn) made earlier about the EMA, but will he not agree that the purpose of the Bill is to giv...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 12 June 201812/06/2018

My hon. Friend knows that I am not a remoaner and that I am completely committed to delivering Brexit, but he is not being fair to the thinking behind the amendment. Many of us are committed to delivering Brexit. Our fear is this, and the question for hi...

Airports National Policy Statement

Commons Chamber on 5 June 201805/06/2018

I congratulate Ministers on finally making a tough decision that puts the national interest, prosperity and business confidence ahead of politics—an approach that I hope will apply in our other big decisions. I echo the views of the former Secretaries of...

Windrush

Commons Chamber on 30 April 201830/04/2018

I congratulate my right hon. Friend on becoming the first Muslim Home Secretary. Having worked with him, I know that there is no one better to sort out this mess. I also pay tribute to his predecessor, who did the very honourable thing. Does the Home...

Customs and Borders

Commons Chamber on 26 April 201826/04/2018

In Mid Norfolk, where my constituents voted to leave, the majority opinion on the doorstep was: “Mr Freeman, I wanted to be in the single market, not in a political union. It was Mrs Thatcher who took us into the single market. I want to be in the single...

Financial Guidance and Claims Bill [Lords]

Commons Chamber on 24 April 201824/04/2018

Given the shortness of time, I will be brief. I thank the Minister and congratulate him on providing the House with what we were looking for this afternoon. I congratulate the hon. Member for Liverpool, Wavertree (Luciana Berger), my hon. Friend the Memb...

Cancer Treatment

Commons Chamber on 19 April 201819/04/2018

That is very kind. I take the hint from my hon. Friend. The assets that we have in our health system are phenomenal assets to drive this research model, and I think it is our challenge to release them, but in order to do so, we need patient consent. H...

Cancer Treatment

Commons Chamber on 19 April 201819/04/2018

May I say what a pleasure it is to follow the hon. Member for Dulwich and West Norwood (Helen Hayes)? She spoke with great passion and authority. Thirty years ago this month, my father developed a cough and two months later he was dead from throat can...

Salisbury Incident

Commons Chamber on 12 March 201812/03/2018

I welcome the statesmanlike tone of the Prime Minister’s comments. They were in stark contrast to those of the Leader of the Opposition, whose Soviet ramblings would have done no benefit to Russia Today. May I urge her to be uncompromising in signalling...

UK/EU Future Economic Partnership

Commons Chamber on 5 March 201805/03/2018

May I congratulate my right hon. Friend on a reassuringly and typically business-like speech on Friday? It sent a clear message that there will be no hard Brexit, only hard choices. Will she reassure me and the UK life sciences sector that her proposal fo...

Engagements

Commons Chamber on 28 February 201828/02/2018

Does my right hon. Friend agree that behind the smiling beard of the Leader of the Opposition lies the real threat to this country’s economy—the shadow Chancellor and his reheated, hard-left Marxism? Can she reassure me and the businesses of this country...

Cancer Strategy

Commons Chamber on 22 February 201822/02/2018

I thank my hon. Friend for giving way; she is making a powerful point. On early diagnosis, prevention and screening, the 100,000 Genomes Project that we launched here in the UK, focused on cancer and rare diseases, is seeking volunteers for genome sequenc...

Cancer Strategy

Commons Chamber on 22 February 201822/02/2018

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that on this subject of accelerated, earlier diagnosis and treatment, the work of the Institute of Translational Medicine in Birmingham, led by Professor Charlie Craddock, and the Cure Leukaemia team, working on blood cancers...

Cancer Strategy

Commons Chamber on 22 February 201822/02/2018

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that, if we are to tackle such cancer outliers, it is vital that, as well as the great research we do in the UK, we make sure that the NHS is better at adopting and taking up innovative medicines? A large part of the accelera...

Cancer Strategy

Commons Chamber on 22 February 201822/02/2018

I know, having been a Health Minister, of my hon. Friend’s assiduous commitment to this cause. He mentioned the noble Baroness Jowell. Does he agree that, with the sight of her and the Prime Minister together embracing, the Prime Minister’s announcement o...

Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review

Commons Chamber on 21 February 201821/02/2018

I welcome the review and the announcement of Baroness Cumberlege as its lead. I am sure the whole House will agree that she is, as the Secretary of State said, highly qualified and trusted. I pay tribute to the many hundreds of thousands of women who have...

Topical Questions

Commons Chamber on 6 February 201806/02/2018

Last week, our former colleague Tessa, now Baroness, Jowell gave an inspiring speech about her battle with brain cancer. At this first Health questions after that speech, I am sure that colleagues will join me in paying tribute to her work and will agree...

Town and Village Plans

Westminster Hall on 30 January 201830/01/2018

Thank you, Mr Hollobone, for calling me to speak again and for the chance to serve under your chairmanship this afternoon. I thank colleagues who have come to Westminster Hall to support this debate and the points that I have been making. We find out...

Town and Village Plans

Westminster Hall on 30 January 201830/01/2018

My right hon. Friend makes the perfect point. He is absolutely right, and that is happening in my patch as well as in his. I am conscious that others want to speak. I want to give them a chance to do so and the Minister a chance to respond. To sum up...
