That this House welcomes Unite the Union’s safety campaign entitled Abuse Doesn't Fly; notes with concern the widespread abuse, aggression, and physical assaults reported by airport workers across the aviation sector; regrets the severe impact this hostility has on the wellbeing of staff, the travel experience of passengers, and the operation of airports, particularly ahead of peak holiday seasons; and urges airport employers, police authorities, and the Government to support the introduction of a traffic-light banning system for repeat offenders, stronger physical security measures for the protection of staff, and access to counselling services for workers suffering mental health impacts as a consequence of such abuse.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of redress available to former child patients who experienced (a) physical and (b) sexual abuse in NHS adolescent mental health units.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of redress available to former child patients who experienced (a) physical and (b) sexual abuse in NHS adolescent mental health units.
We recognise the importance of former child patients being able to seek redress for physical and sexual abuse suffered.
In some cases where there have been serious institutional failings which have contributed to abuse, financial redress schemes have been provided. There are currently no plans for a national financial redress scheme for all victims and survivors of child sexual abuse with a connection to National Health Service adolescent mental health units.
In cases where abuse has occurred, the Courts are always available to patients who have been affected, whether or not a compensation scheme has been set up or the deadline has been missed.
Supporting child and adult victims and survivors of sexual abuse is a core priority for NHS England, delivered through a network of 48 specialist sexual assault referral centres (SARCs) across the country. NHS England commissions SARCs through a distinct national service specification, including working with specialist support services, ensuring that children and young people up to the age of 18 years old receive trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate care and safeguarding support, and that adults receive tailored care that reflects their needs and rights, with clear referral pathways to health, justice, and specialist support services. Additionally, the Government is investing up to £50 million to roll out the internationally recognised Child House model across all NHS regions. The model brings health, justice, and social care professionals together in a safe, child-centred environment to reduce trauma and deliver the care children deserve.
Through the 10-Year Health Plan we are also expanding NHS Talking Therapies so that more adults with anxiety and depression can get the help they need.

Second Opposition day debate (part two). Motion that this House calls on the Government to exempt from automatic early release under the provisions of the Sentencing Act 2026 any offender who has been convicted of a sexual offence against an adult or a child, including rape and grooming, or convicted of the attempt, conspiracy, or incitement to commit such offences; further calls on the Government to bring forward legislation to enact this change immediately; and regrets that the Conservative amendment to the Sentencing Act 2026 that would have secured these exemptions was not agreed to. Closure motion agreed to. Main question agreed to on division (115 to 0).

Thank you for correcting me, Madam Deputy Speaker. I was quoting the tweets so exactly that I forgot my responsibilities.
As I was saying, this is an ideologically anti-prison Government, and many of their policies look likely to continue under the new Prime Minister.

The hon. Member calls this an “ideologically anti-prison Government”, but in 14 years of Conservative Governments, there was a net increase of 500 prison places. In the very first Division post the King’s Speech in this Parliament, I remember voting to deal with that problem, and we had to vote...

I think the hon. Gentleman would do well to not take the Whips’ questions, when the Whips have just given up, in the face of the wall of opinion in the parliamentary Labour party, and having given ground in this debate.

Does my hon. Friend agree that those early votes to which the hon. Member for Stevenage (Kevin Bonavia) referred were actually a Trojan horse to allow sex offenders to be released under such schemes? We have brought this motion to the House to make sure that we protect the British...

I completely agree with my hon. Friend. What I was trying to say gently to the hon. Member for Stevenage (Kevin Bonavia) was that, if the argument is still that this Government need to let sex offenders out of prison because of a capacity problem, Labour Members will be embarrassed...

As my hon. Friend considers the evolution of the Opposition’s justice policy, might he give consideration to taking the expansion of prisons, or the development of new prisons, out of the ordinary planning arena, as it once was? Prisons should be viewed as elements of critical infrastructure, and our sentencing...

I completely agree with my hon. Friend. Over a period, the construction of prisons has become needlessly expensive and needlessly time-consuming, as has the development of other critical infrastructure in our country. As we come forward with our plans to increase the capacity of our system, we will definitely look...

Further to the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Stevenage (Kevin Bonavia), the last Conservative Government granted early release, largely in secret, to more than 10,000 prisoners, including domestic abusers and those who posed a risk to children, without putting appropriate safeguards in place, and then they...

There is a perpetual uncertainty about this issue, as my hon. Friend describes, but at the heart of it is the distance between the popular expectation of what criminal justice should deliver, and what the Government are putting in place. I am not saying that this began with this Government—there...

I strongly agree with my right hon. Friend. The statistics show that between 1993 and 2012, our prison population grew very significantly, and through that period, crime fell. It plateaued after 2012, as the population grew, and that was a mistake. The Opposition are willing to accept that that was...

Left liberals may not like this, but it remains the case that the public expect the criminal justice system to exact retribution on those who have offended against society. If we do not do that, then individuals may wish to take the law into their own hands. We do not...

I agree; prison works. It works because it punishes the guilty, gives justice to the innocent and takes dangerous people out of circulation, away from the rest of society, and, in doing so, reduces crime. This is a matter of common sense for most people in the country, but it...
