Prison reform and safety

Robert Neill

That this House takes note of the Justice Committee’s Twelfth and Fourteenth Reports of

Session 2016-17, on Prison reform and the Government Responses to them; notes with

concern the continuing crisis in prisons in England and Wales, with an historically high prison

population and unacceptably high levels of violence, drug availability and use, disturbances

and self-harm and self-inflicted deaths in the adult and youth custodial estate; further notes

the critical reports by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons on individual establishments and thematic

issues; welcomes the Government’s intention to proceed with a programme of prison reform

and to produce a prison safety and reform action plan as recommended by the Committee,

and the publication of performance data on each prison from 26 October 2017; regrets the fact

that the Government does not intend to bring forward legislation to establish a statutory

purpose for prisons, enhance the powers of HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, and place the

Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO) and the UK’s National Preventive Mechanism on a

statutory basis; further regrets the Government’s rejection of the Committee’s

recommendation that it should report at six-monthly intervals on the impact of governor

empowerment on complaints made to the PPO and Independent Monitoring Boards; and calls

on the Government to ensure that information on prison performance and safety is published

regularly, and with sufficient detail and timeliness to enable the effective scrutiny of the

management of prisons by the Ministry of Justice and HM Prison and Probation Service.

Wera Hobhouse Tom Brake Christine Jardine

Caroline Lucas Mr David Lammy Lisa Nandy

Sir Edward Davey Catherine West Gareth Thomas

John Grogan Angus Brendan MacNeil

That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Finance (No. 2) Bill because it gives

effect to measures in a Budget which has not been produced with the benefit of an

independent gender impact assessment conducted by the Office of Budget Responsibility to

enable the Government to understand and address the consequences for the advancement of

equality in Britain and in particular to women and ethnic minorities of changes to the tax and

benefit system and the management of public sector pay and because the failure of the

Government to follow the normal practice of founding the Finance Bill in part on an

Amendment of the Law resolution means that the Bill cannot be amended by the introduction

of further administrative measures to tackle tax evasion more effectively or the excessive

costs of the PFI and PF2 contracts to the Exchequer by the addition of provisions for analysis

of reforms needed to reduce the tax gap and create a fairer tax system.

Equality of pension provision for women

Grahame Morris

That this House calls on the Government to publish proposals to provide a non-means tested

solution for all women born on or after 6 April 1950 who are affected by changes to the State

Pension age in the 1995 and 2011 Pension Acts.

Hormone pregnancy tests

Sir Mike Penning

That this House regrets that the terms of reference for the Commission on Human Medicines

Expert Working Group on Hormone Pregnancy Tests were to consider evidence on a possible

association between exposure in pregnancy to hormone pregnancy tests and adverse

outcomes in pregnancy, but the Commission’s Report concluded that there was no causal

association between the use of hormone pregnancy tests and babies born with deformities

between 1953–1975, even though it was not asked to find a causal link; believes that the

inquiry was flawed because it did not consider systematic regulatory failures of the Committee

on Safety in Medicines and did not give careful consideration to the evidence presented to it;

and calls on the Government, after consultation with the families affected so they have

confidence in the process, to establish a statutory inquiry under the Inquiries Act 2005 to

review the evidence on a causal association between hormone pregnancy tests on

pregnancies and to consider the regulatory failures of the Committee on Safety in Medicines.

B. REMAINING ORDERS AND NOTICES

Business in this section has not yet been scheduled for a specific date. It has therefore been

set down formally to be taken in the Chamber today but is not expected to be taken today.

1. HIGH SPEED RAIL (WEST MIDLANDS - CREWE) BILL: SECOND READING

Notes:

The Speaker has not yet considered this Bill for certification.

2. HIGH SPEED RAIL (WEST MIDLANDS - CREWE) BILL: SECOND READING -

REASONED AMENDMENT

Michael Fabricant

That this House, while recognising the increasing need for additional north-south rail line

capacity to relieve congestion on the West Coast Main Line south of the Midlands and to

improve connectivity between major cities and with London, declines to give the High

Speed Rail (West Midlands - Crewe) Bill a Second Reading because (1) there are better

ways to address any rail capacity issues north of the Midlands, (2) the line set out in the

Bill is routed through unspoiled countryside unnecessarily damaging the environment

including wildlife habitats, ancient woodlands and waterways, fails to connect via HS2

Phase 1 with HS1, the Channel Tunnel and the European continent, fails to connect

directly through HS2 Phase 1 with potential airport hubs for London and the south-east of

England, and fails to connect directly to existing major mainline stations and the existing

rail network, (3) the Bill provides inadequate compensation to those blighted by the route

and those whose property is subject to compulsory purchase orders, (4) the Bill fails to

provide for sufficient public transport to disperse HS2 passengers disembarking at

London Euston, and (5) the Bill does not implement a more environmentally sympathetic,

better integrated, and more cost-effective route, such as the route originally proposed by

Arup which would have used existing transport corridors minimising environmental

damage and reducing costs by around £10 billion, and which would have connected

directly with HS1 and the continent, London Heathrow Airport, Birmingham International

Airport, and major conurbations.

3. HIGH SPEED RAIL (WEST MIDLANDS - CREWE) BILL: MONEY

Mel Stride
