QUEEN’S SPEECH (MOTION FOR AN ADDRESS): Adjourned Debate on Question [6th November].
|
[Until 10.00 p.m.]
|
|
| |
Motion made, and Question proposed, That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, as follows:
|
|
|
|
| |
We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
in Parliament assembled, beg leave to offer our humble thanks to Your Majesty for the Gracious Speech which Your Majesty has
addressed to both Houses of Parliament—(Mr Richard Caborn).
|
|
|
|
| |
As an Amendment to the Address, at end add—
|
|
| |
‘but regret the absence of measures in the Gracious Speech to empower professionals responsible for the delivery of health
and education services and of measures which would make those services more accountable to patients and parents; deplore the
absence of measures to improve public health and reduce health inequalities; regret the lack of a reformed legislative structure
for the National Health Service which would reduce central targets and devolve decision-making closer to patients and enable
health services to respond to the need for high quality and accessible care; further regret the lack of measures to deal with
school discipline, raise standards in literacy, numeracy, science and languages, address under-performance in the primary
sector, tackle disadvantage at its roots and provide effective support in the earliest years; and further regret the absence
of measures which would deliver the real improvements needed in these and related public services.’.
|
|
|
|
| |
As an Amendment to the Address, at end add—
|
|
| |
‘but humbly regret that the Gracious Speech fails to announce proposals for a referendum on the United Kingdom’s continued
membership of the European Union.’.
|
|
|
Proposed subject for debate: Health and Education.
|
|
Debate may continue until 10.00 p.m.
