Second reading: House of Commons
Video clipsOff-patent Drugs Bill, 6 November 2015, Dr Rupa Huq, column 1292
Dr Rupa Huq (Ealing Central and Acton) (Lab): My hon. Friend talked about cost. Does he agree with my constituent, Elena, of west Ealing, who wrote to me on this subject to say that it would help MS sufferers in particular and that “it is crucial that affordable treatments are used to their full potential particularly at a time when NHS resources are stretched. The Bill will tackle this issue head on and stand to benefit hundreds of thousands of people in Ealing and beyond.”?

Second reading House of Commons
Video clipsPsychoactive Substances Bill [HL], 19 October 2015, Andrew Stevenson, column 735
When I raised this matter on my Facebook page yesterday asking for the views of young people in my constituency, one constituent said that some legal highs specifically say on the packaging that they are not fit for human consumption. Can my right hon. Friend confirm that such a statement will not allow the producers of these drugs simply to bypass the new law?

Childcare Bill [HL], 8 December 2015, Christian Matheson
If the Committee will allow me, I will quote a constituent, and I may write to the Minister in greater depth about this particular case, because it is quite detailed. There is consternation—or concern

Second reading House of LordsVideo clipsAssisted Dying Bill [HL], 18 July 2014, Lord Vinson, column 893
However, like other noble Lords, I have received many heartfelt letters from those who are against these measures. The common theme is that we must not introduce the Bill because the vulnerable might—I repeat, might—suffer.

Committee StageHouse of LordsVideo clipsModern Slavery Bill, 10 December 2014, Baroness Mobarik, column 1904
Both the Ethical Trading Initiative and the British Retail Consortium have written to me in support of the amendment. Their members include global companies with thousands of suppliers—familiar high-street brands such as Asda, Debenhams and Marks & Spencer—so their views on this issue should carry significant weight.

I have spoken twice on this matter in the past month.
