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...

Town and Village Plans

Westminster Hall on 30 January 201830/01/2018

I am grateful to my venerable and right hon. Friend for putting that so robustly. I would not be here if I did not share that view. We all understand that we need houses built, and we all know that we need developers to do it, but there is a contract. Wh...

Town and Village Plans

Westminster Hall on 30 January 201830/01/2018

I could not agree more with my hon. Friend. We should look at the lessons from those garden towns. Many years ago, I fought the constituency of Stevenage—as colleagues know, it fought back—but Letchworth, the first garden town, is still regarded in that...

Town and Village Plans

Westminster Hall on 30 January 201830/01/2018

Not for the first time the hon. Gentleman makes my point better than I. He is absolutely right that if we get this right, and if we trust people in communities and empower them, which is what the Localism Act was about, we will be surprised by what commu...

Town and Village Plans

Westminster Hall on 30 January 201830/01/2018

My hon. Friend makes the very point that I will be making. This is about infrastructure and public services. A proper plan is not just about houses, but about the community, its needs, the public services, the infrastructure, the drainage and so on. Like...

Town and Village Plans

Westminster Hall on 30 January 201830/01/2018

I absolutely welcome that and will in due course list some of the very good things that the Government have been doing to try to help. I am here today to flag a problem and offer the Minister some suggestions to try to help find a solution. At its hea...

Town and Village Plans

Westminster Hall on 30 January 201830/01/2018

I beg to move, That this House has considered town and village plans. I thank my hon. Friend the Minister for being here and for his support in the past few days as we prepared for the debate, and I thank colleagues for turning up in numbers to int...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Commons Chamber on 20 December 201720/12/2017

I thank my right hon. and learned Friend for making so eloquently the point about the importance of process as the best defence of our liberties. Will he join me in welcoming the work that assiduous junior Ministers have done for their Secretary of State...
