Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 April 2019. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Arrest of Julian Assange.


Arrest of Julian Assange

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. On Monday, you kindly granted an urgent question when medical cannabis was confiscated from a child as she entered the UK from Holland. I can tell the House today that a prescription has been issued for medical cannabis so that young girl can have the medication she needs. Sadly, at the moment there is still a blockage. With the Home Secretary on the Front Bench—I know he is working tirelessly to help us—I wonder whether the lifting of that blockage, to allow the prescription to be honoured, has yet to be done.
