CONTAMINATED BLOOD
Alistair Burt
Jason McCartney
Diana Johnson
That this House supports a further review of the circumstances surrounding the passing of infection via blood products to those with haemophilia and others during the 1970s and 1980s; notes the recent report from the All Party Parliamentary Group on Haemophilia and Contaminated Blood into the support arrangements provided for those who contracted blood-borne viruses as a result; also notes that the Penrose Inquiry into these events will shortly be publishing its findings in Scotland; further notes that those who contracted viruses and their partners and dependants continue to be profoundly affected by what happened; therefore welcomes the Prime Minister’s commitment to look again at this issue; and calls on the Government to respond positively to the APPG report and engage actively with those affected with a view to seeking closure to these long standing events.
TRANSATLANTIC TRADE AND INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP
Geraint Davies
That this House believes that the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and any associated investor-state dispute settlement provisions should be subject to scrutiny in the European Parliament and the UK Parliament.
Amendment (a)
Caroline Lucas
Line 1, leave out from ‘Partnership’ to end and add ‘(TTIP) has still not received adequate scrutiny by either the European Parliament or the UK Parliament; welcomes the growing public and political concern over the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS), explicitly designed to give private companies and investors new rights to sue governments; regrets that the European Commission rejected the European Citizens’ Petition on TTIP, now signed by over 1.2 million people including over 200,000 people in the UK; notes the risk of job losses of around 1.3 million in the EU under the ambitious scenario for TTIP preferred by EU negotiators, according to official figures; considers that TTIP and its investor protection provisions pose an unacceptable threat to the NHS and the ability of future governments to repeal the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and reverse creeping privatisation in the public health sector; further believes that TTIP and the ISDS undermine democratic law-making in the public interest across a range of areas from workers’ rights, consumer protection and education policy to food standards, animal welfare and environmental protection; calls for the complete removal from the agreement of all investor-state dispute settlement provisions; and further calls on the Government to push for talks on TTIP to be frozen in their entirety.’.
