Notes:

E-petition, entitled Make fair transitional state pension arrangements for 1950’s women





Hormone pregnancy tests

Sir Mike Penning

That this House regrets that the terms of reference for the Commission on Human Medicines

Expert Working Group on Hormone Pregnancy Tests were to consider evidence on a possible

association between exposure in pregnancy to hormone pregnancy tests and adverse

outcomes in pregnancy, but the Commission’s Report concluded that there was no causal

association between the use of hormone pregnancy tests and babies born with deformities

between 1953–1975, even though it was not asked to find a causal link; believes that the

inquiry was flawed because it did not consider systematic regulatory failures of the Committee

on Safety in Medicines and did not give careful consideration to the evidence presented to it;

and calls on the Government, after consultation with the families affected so they have

confidence in the process, to establish a statutory inquiry under the Inquiries Act 2005 to

review the evidence on a causal association between hormone pregnancy tests on

pregnancies and to consider the regulatory failures of the Committee on Safety in Medicines.

The subjects for these debates were determined by the Backbench Business Committee.

B. REMAINING ORDERS AND NOTICES

Business in this section has not yet been scheduled for a specific date. It has therefore been

set down formally to be taken in the Chamber today but is not expected to be taken today.

1. HIGH SPEED RAIL (WEST MIDLANDS - CREWE) BILL: SECOND READING

Notes:

The Speaker has not yet considered this Bill for certification.

2. HIGH SPEED RAIL (WEST MIDLANDS - CREWE) BILL: SECOND READING -

REASONED AMENDMENT

Michael Fabricant

That this House, while recognising the increasing need for additional north-south rail line

capacity to relieve congestion on the West Coast Main Line south of the Midlands and to

improve connectivity between major cities and with London, declines to give the High

Speed Rail (West Midlands - Crewe) Bill a Second Reading because (1) there are better

ways to address any rail capacity issues north of the Midlands, (2) the line set out in the

Bill is routed through unspoiled countryside unnecessarily damaging the environment

including wildlife habitats, ancient woodlands and waterways, fails to connect via HS2

Phase 1 with HS1, the Channel Tunnel and the European continent, fails to connect

directly through HS2 Phase 1 with potential airport hubs for London and the south-east of

England, and fails to connect directly to existing major mainline stations and the existing

rail network, (3) the Bill provides inadequate compensation to those blighted by the route

and those whose property is subject to compulsory purchase orders, (4) the Bill fails to

provide for sufficient public transport to disperse HS2 passengers disembarking at

London Euston, and (5) the Bill does not implement a more environmentally sympathetic,

better integrated, and more cost-effective route, such as the route originally proposed by

Arup which would have used existing transport corridors minimising environmental

damage and reducing costs by around £10 billion, and which would have connected

directly with HS1 and the continent, London Heathrow Airport, Birmingham International

Airport, and major conurbations.

3. HIGH SPEED RAIL (WEST MIDLANDS - CREWE) BILL: MONEY

Mel Stride

That, for the purposes of any Act resulting from the High Speed Rail (West Midlands -

Crewe) Bill, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of money provided by Parliament

of:

(1) any expenditure incurred by the Secretary of State in consequence of the Act, and

(2) any increase attributable to the Act in the sums payable out of money so provided

under any other enactment.

(b) a memorandum setting out both a statement made by a Minister of the

(2) In its consideration of a document referred to in paragraph 1(i) the committee shall

include, in addition to such other matters as it deems appropriate, whether the draft

Schedule 7 to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act [2018] in relation to which the

Act requires that a draft of the instrument must be laid before, and approved by a

continue to be a member of it for the remainder of the Parliament, or until this Standing

Order lapses, whichever occurs sooner.
