The paper is divided into two main sections: geographic regions – covering areas such as the Middle East and China; and themes – including areas such as defence and human rights. The coloured panel on the left of each entry indicates in which Chamber the debate or statement took place: green for House of Commons and red for House of Lords. Debates and statements related to Brexit and the UK’s future relationship with the EU are not covered in this paper but have been included in earlier briefings: Brexit statements (CBP-8467, 17 February 2020); Brexit debates 2019 (CBP-8489, 23 January 2020); Brexit debates 2018 (CBP-8246, 7 January 2019); and Brexit debates: June 2016 – December 2017 (CBP-8131, 19 December 2017). In addition to this paper, the supporting Excel document can be used to sort and filter the data further, in order to focus on specific areas of interest, such as statements, debates, chamber or subject area. A paper covering debates and statements for the 2021-22 session will be published once the session has started and then updated periodically. 4 International affairs and defence: Parliamentary debates and statements in the 2019-21 session 1.

  • Horsham District Older Peoples Forum Question
    HORSHAM DISTRICT OLDER PEOPLES FORUM QUESTION TIME WITH JEREMY QUIN MP At HDC/WSCC Offices Main Conference Room Friday 16th November 2018 10.30am – 12.30pm (The list of those present and the full text of previously submitted questions are appended to these notes) Jeremy Quin answers are as understood by HDOPF note-taker. Question 1: (Summary) CAN WE BE REASSURED THAT LIFE WILL BE RELATIVELY NORMAL WITHOUT RISKS FROM SHORTAGES OF MEDECINES AND CARERS WHEN BREXIT HAPPENS NEXT MARCH? Jeremy Quin The Current Political Deal deserves support because it preserves almost 100% of current frictionless trade by which we have an efficient supply chain from Europe of very large parts of our Pharmaceutical supplies and our supplies of Fresh Food. Without a deal there would be regulatory controls in France which could cause serious disruption (temporary shortages and perishing of fresh food) if common sense mitigation of problems were not applied. The Government is making contingency plans to provide for the worst case happening. Supplementaries (in discussion from the floor) Care and Health Workers: Brexit does not mean that there is no immigration but that the UK has control of it and has its own policies. Care worker and health worker skilled persons would be welcome. Currently there are additional training schemes for Doctors and Nurses. Payments to the EU: The £35-39bn withdrawal payment is for commitments made as a member of the EU. Commitment to the EU: The UK has never been committed to the European Project of Ever-Closer- Union and the single Eurozone currency but has always acted only as a member of a Trading Union Partnership.

The House of Commons Prime Minister has made it clear that equitable access is an integral part of the UK’s approach to vaccine Tuesday 30 June 2020 development and distribution. Only last weekend, he emphasised how all the world’s leaders have a moral duty to ensure that covid-19 vaccines are truly available The House met at half-past Eleven o’clock to all.
