It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mrs Barker. It is no surprise at all that my constituency has the second highest number of signatures to the petition. For at least six years now, Whitstable in my constituency has been plagued by frequent releases of sewage pouring out...

Rarely do we debate legislation that represents such a seismic shift in the relationships between individuals, the state, health providers and civic society. There is so much at stake. When Members believe strongly that a Bill is flawed and could be abused, resulting in serious harm, we have an absolute...

We talk a lot about Canada, but the Netherlands is practically next door to my constituency and has a democracy very similar to ours. People in their 20s have been allowed to take this path there, which is absolutely shocking. Mental ill health, and even solvable temporary social problems, have...

This week, Professor Susan Ayers launches her report, “The Cost of Birth Trauma”, in Parliament. It is a first, as it goes beyond the more obvious health and social care implications, and follows the 2024 inquiry by the all-party parliamentary group on birth trauma. Lifelong care, litigation and the impact on the workplace come at a high price, as, of course, do many other women’s health scandals, such as the sodium valproate issue. Will the relevant Minister or the Chancellor read Susan Ayers’ report and meet me and the professor to discuss it?
