Business of the House

Emma Lewell-Buck Excerpts

Thursday 21st July 2022 Commons Chamber

[Mark Spencer]

I do not know whether my hon. Friend was able to be at Health questions this week, but I pay tribute to the work that she does to draw attention to this matter. I will make sure that I write to the Secretary of State for Health on her behalf to draw his attention to her concerns.

[Mrs Emma Lewell-Buck (South Shields) (Lab)]

The Prime Minister and various Ministers have made hollow promises to me and my constituents regarding many serious and time-sensitive matters, including the case of Mr Singh, who was subject to identity theft, causing him to be falsely held by Border Force, his family to be in danger, and his health records to be in chaos. In addition, the families of Chloe Rutherford and Liam Curry, after losing their precious children in the Manchester terror attack, are campaigning to change death registration laws. Will the Leader of the House please use his good offices to ask those Ministers to start doing their jobs?

[Mark Spencer]

If the hon. Lady wants to supply me with the details of those two cases, I will write directly to the relevant Ministers on her behalf.
