Spending Review and Autumn Statement

James Morris Excerpts

Wednesday 25th November 2015 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Order. My wish to accommodate all interested colleagues has to be balanced against the pressure of subsequent business. If I am to accommodate colleagues, what is now needed is a single, short supplementary question, without preamble. If a colleague can deliver that, great; if not, reconsider.

[James Morris (Halesowen and Rowley Regis) (Con)]

As the chairman of the all-party group on mental health, may I welcome the Chancellor’s announcement of additional money for mental health? Does he agree that that is a first step in delivering our manifesto commitments on mental health, which not only is right in principle, but will put mental health at the centre of our national health service in the future?

[Mr Osborne]

My hon. Friend has been a great champion of mental health, and he is right in what he says.
