He was a giant of his generation, loved and respected in all parts of the House. Our Tuesday 2 June 2015 thoughts are particularly with Liberal Democrat Members who knew him well, and to whom he was a very good friend over many years. We shall all miss him as a brave The House met at half-past Eleven o’clock and principled man who had the common touch, and who proved that it is possible to be passionate and PRAYERS committed without ever being bitter or bearing grudges. Our thoughts are with his whole family. I can tell the hon. Member for South Shields [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] (Mrs Lewell-Buck) that the ambulance service is performing well under a great deal of pressure. Although a number Speaker’s Statement of national targets are not being met, the service is responding to a record number of calls, and is making a Mr Speaker: It is with deep sadness that I must report record number of journeys involving all categories of to the House the death of the former Member for Ross, patients.

It is, moreover, a matter of the late Member for Ross, Skye and Lochaber.

I think that his assessment was a bit off. When my On a personal note, let me say that I was always constituent Malcolm Hodgson’s son-in-law broke his grateful to Charles for his support, encouragement and leg in a local park, he waited in agony for 50 minutes for co-operation. I think that I carry the House with me in an ambulance, and then waited a further five days for saying that Charles Kennedy was a principled, progressive an operation. Can the Secretary of State explain how and passionate politician, and, very importantly, a proud our ambulance and health services were allowed to fall parliamentarian. In an age of pervasive cynicism about into such a dire state over the past five years, and will he politics and politicians, Charles had that rare and uncanny apologise to that young man for the delay and the pain capacity to cut through to large numbers of voters of all that he suffered on the right hon.

He was doubtless assisted in that by his obvious sincerity, Mr Hunt: I take responsibility for everything that his relaxed style, and his geniality. I know that he was happens on my watch. [Interruption.] I think it is a little widely liked and respected in all parts of the House, and early to ask the Secretary of State to resign—but maybe he will be sadly missed. I am sure that the House will not. The ambulance service is under great pressure, but want to join me in offering heartfelt condolences to his across the country we have 2,000 more paramedics than family and friends. five years ago, we are recruiting an additional 1,700 over It will be appropriate today for there to be very brief the next few years, and from March this year, compared references to Charles, but I hope that the House will with March the previous year, the most urgent calls—the more widely take my lead when I say that tomorrow, category A red 1 calls—went up by 24% and the ambulance after Prime Minister’s Question Time, there will be a service answered nearly 2,000 more calls within the dedicated session of tributes, when people will be able eight-minute period.

  • Environmental Assessment Report
    M27 Southampton Junctions improvement scheme Environmental Assessment Report 2018 Environmental Assessment Report for M27 Southampton Junctions 1. Summary This EAR has been undertaken to assess the impacts of the scheme on environmental topics. Due to the stage of works, PCF Stage 2, all technical topics have been considered in the assessment. The assessment has predicted that with the exception landscape and potentially cultural heritage, neither Appraisal Option 1 nor 2 would result in ‘significant’ environmental effects. The ‘significant’ effects associated with landscape are limited to individual views and are as a result of the removal vegetation and the gas holders on the gas works site. The potential ‘significant’ effect associated with cultural heritage is to unknown undisturbed below-ground archaeological remains. The value of these assets (if present) is unknown therefore taking a worst-case scenario the effect pre- mitigation is assumed to be ‘moderate/large’ adverse. However, through undertaking of a detailed desk based assessment and if required intrusive investigations, any impacts to this heritage asset can likely be mitigated and resultant impacts thus might be considered likely to not be significant. (Requirement for intrusive investigations will depend upon the extent of physical works). Noise modelling has been undertaken, this has identified temporary adverse effects from noise and vibration are likely to occur during construction works associated with both Appraisal Option 1 and 2. However, it is recognised that the magnitude of the impact of the identified adverse effects should be reduced through the implementation of a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) in accordance with best practice measures. The redistribution of the traffic on the network as a result of Appraisal Option 1 will result in the A3024 corridor being expected to manage greater amounts of traffic.
