QUEEN'S SPEECH (MOTION FOR AN ADDRESS): ADJOURNED DEBATE [27 JUNE] Until 7.00pm (Standing Order No. 9(3)) Proposed subject for debate: Health, Social Care and Security That an Humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, as follows: Most Gracious Sovereign, We, Your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled, beg leave to offer our humble thanks to Your Majesty for the Gracious Speech which Your Majesty has addressed to both Houses of Parliament. Amendment (a) Caroline Lucas Chuka Umunna Ian Blackford Stephen Doughty Kirsty Blackman Liz Saville Roberts Alison McGovern Wes Streeting Rushanara Ali Tommy Sheppard Ronnie Cowan Mr Lloyd Russell-Moyle Alison Thewliss David Linden Stephen Gethins Peter Grant Brendan O'Hara Patrick Grady Carol Monaghan Angus Brendan MacNeil Stewart Malcolm McDonald Martyn Day Pete Wishart Stuart C. McDonald John McNally Chris Stephens Martin Docherty-Hughes Jo Swinson Tom Brake At end add 'but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech does not include vital protections for EU nationals living in the UK now and after withdrawal from the EU; and believe that the Gracious Speech should unilaterally confirm that EU nationals living in the UK can retain their right to remain.'.

6 Amendment (b) Caroline Lucas Mr David Lammy Chris Law Layla Moran Liz Saville Roberts Kerry McCarthy Helen Goodman Jo Swinson Tom Brake Stephen Lloyd At end add 'but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to put in place effective measures to protect the environment ahead of the UK s exit from the EU; believe that, in negotiating our future relationship with the EU, the Government should opt for the most environmentally effective way forward and not insist on pursuing freedom from all forms of EU authority; call on the Government to introduce a new Environmental Protection Bill to transfer all relevant EU law into domestic law by way of primary legislation; call for that legislation to include the meaningful transfer of existing targets and to set new and ambitious targets, establish formal mechanisms for alignment with EU standards, and establish and fund an independent framework for guaranteeing implementation and compliance, including transparent and accountable reporting structures and access for citizens to environmental justice; believe that the precautionary and the polluter pays principles, as well as the principle of integrating environmental goals into other policies, should be incorporated into domestic frameworks; call for additional measures designed to restore the UK countryside and provide new sustainable settlements for agriculture and fisheries; and note that the Environment Agency and Natural England will require additional funding to monitor compliance, and that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs will require extra strategic capacity to manage the transfer of powers.'. Amendment (c) Ian Blackford Liz Saville Roberts Kirsty Blackman Hywel Williams Alison Thewliss Patrick Grady Hannah Bardell Mhairi Black Deidre Brock Alan Brown Dr Lisa Cameron Douglas Chapman Joanna Cherry Ronnie Cowan Angela Crawley Martyn Day Martin Docherty-Hughes Marion Fellows Stephen Gethins Patricia Gibson Peter Grant Neil Gray Drew Hendry Stewart Hosie Chris Law David Linden Angus Brendan MacNeil Stuart C.

7 Pete Wishart Jonathan Edwards Ben Lake At end add 'but regret that the measures set out fail to meet the challenges facing the majority of people living in the nations and regions of the UK; call in particular for the Government to abandon its plans to pursue a hard Brexit and instead agree a new position with all parties and all devolved governments that seeks to secure continued membership of the Single Market; further call on the Government to halt further austerity spending cuts, which are damaging the UK s economic growth and punishing the incomes of hard-working people, and to invest in public services to stimulate economic growth; and call on the Government in particular to reverse the two-child policy and remove the rape clause and lift the benefit freeze, to deliver intergenerational fairness by implementing a transition for the WASPI women and a real Living Wage for all adults above the age of 18, and to acknowledge its responsibility as a member of the international community to contribute to the resolution of the refugee crisis in Europe.'. Amendment (d) Stella Creasy Diana Johnson Alison Thewliss Sir Peter Bottomley Caroline Lucas Yvette Cooper Jess Phillips Melanie Onn Tonia Antoniazzi Wes Streeting Kate Green Thelma Walker Jo Stevens Tracy Brabin Emma Hardy Alison McGovern Anneliese Dodds Liz Kendall Sarah Jones Carolyn Harris Kerry McCarthy Julie Elliott Anna Turley Ruth George Yvonne Fovargue David Hanson Stephen Doughty Chuka Umunna Helen Hayes Luciana Berger Emma Reynolds Anna McMorrin Angela Smith Dr Roberta Blackman-Woods Preet Gill Laura Pidcock Ms Karen Buck Dr Rupa Huq Yasmin Qureshi Ellie Reeves Rachel Reeves Dr Rosena Allin-Khan Mr Barry Sheerman Ruth Smeeth Heidi Alexander Jo Platt Matt Rodda Mr Lloyd Russell-Moyle Stephen Kinnock Mike Gapes Chris Bryant Dame Margaret Hodge Jonathan Edwards Jo Swinson Tom Brake Stephen Lloyd At end add but respectfully regret that measures to address the inequality in treatment of women from Northern Ireland with regard to healthcare provision were not included in the Gracious Speech; recognise that the UK currently provides funding for access to healthcare services including abortion to residents of other nations as part of its international development work; note that women from Northern Ireland have no choice but to travel to England for abortion services and face serious difficulties in doing so, and

8 as such the current position risks the continuation of an unwanted pregnancy which may cause distress or illness to the patient concerned purely on the basis of her place of residence within the UK rather than any medical requirements; therefore call on the Government to clarify, if necessary by legislating, that under section 1(1)(a) of the National Health Service Act 2006 it is a requirement on the Secretary of State for Health to prevent illness among those who wish to end an unwanted pregnancy, who are UK taxpayers, by providing such services; and call on the Government to ensure the provision of adequate funding and guidance so that all UK citizens including those from Northern Ireland may access medical services including abortion procedures in England if they so wish without charge, and that such provision does not interfere with decisions made by the Northern Ireland Assembly with regard to the provision of such services in Northern Ireland.. Amendment (e) Tim Farron Jo Swinson Tom Brake Sir Vince Cable Mr Alistair Carmichael Sir Edward Davey Wera Hobhouse Christine Jardine Norman Lamb Stephen Lloyd Layla Moran Jamie Stone At end add but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech contained no proposals to keep Britain in the Single Market and the Customs Union.. Amendment (f) Liz Saville Roberts Hywel Williams Jonathan Edwards Ben Lake At end add 'but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to adequately ensure that the interests of Wales are accounted for; note that the Gracious Speech does not include a Welsh Infrastructure Bill to ensure the delivery of key projects including the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon, upgrades to Welsh road and rail networks, and provision for universal phone and broadband coverage; call on the Government to bring forward a Fuel Poverty (Wales) Bill to give Wales ownership over its resources and allow Welsh citizens to utilise their resources to lower the cost of energy; believe that measures should be brought forward to ensure taxes paid in Wales are retained by the Welsh Government, including Corporation Tax and VAT, and to ensure all EU funding is replaced by the UK Government beyond 2022; and call on the Government to bring forward legislation on the management of the Mineworkers Pension Scheme.'.

9 Amendment (g) Chuka Umunna Stephen Doughty Peter Kyle Kate Green Ian Murray Stephen Gethins Jonathan Edwards Caroline Lucas Stella Creasy Heidi Alexander Darren Jones Jo Stevens Ms Karen Buck Rushanara Ali Ann Coffey Neil Coyle Ruth Cadbury Mr David Lammy Wes Streeting Stephen Timms Maria Eagle Kerry McCarthy Tulip Siddiq Mr Barry Sheerman Mrs Madeleine Moon Mr Ben Bradshaw Bridget Phillipson Martin Whitfield Alison McGovern Mike Gapes Mr Paul J Sweeney Catherine McKinnell Ann Clwyd John Woodcock Helen Hayes Alex Sobel Chris Bryant Seema Malhotra Mr Lloyd Russell-Moyle Ellie Reeves Rosie Duffield Anna McMorrin Susan Elan Jones Alison Thewliss Stewart Malcolm McDonald Patrick Grady Liz Saville Roberts Hywel Williams Ben Lake Meg Hillier Dame Margaret Hodge Jo Swinson Tom Brake At end add 'but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech does not rule out withdrawal from the EU without a deal, guarantee a Parliamentary vote on any final outcome to negotiations, set out transitional arrangements to maintain jobs, trade and certainty for business, set out proposals to remain within the Customs Union and Single Market, set out clear measures to respect the competencies of the devolved administrations, and include clear protections for EU nationals living in the UK now, including retaining their right to remain in the UK, and reciprocal rights for UK citizens.'. Amendment (h) Ian Blackford Joanna Cherry Kirsty Blackman Douglas Chapman Patrick Grady Alison Thewliss At end add 'but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech does not extend the exemption from Value Added Tax to Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue; and call on the Government to do so without delay.'.

10 Amendment (i) Jeremy Corbyn Ms Diane Abbott Jonathan Ashworth Emily Thornberry John McDonnell Mr Nicholas Brown At end add 'but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to end cuts to the police and the fire service; commend the response of the emergency services to the recent terrorist attacks and to the Grenfell Tower fire; call on the Government to recruit more police officers and fire-fighters; and further call on the Government to end the public sector pay cap and give the emergency and public services a fair pay rise.'. Amendment (j) Stephen Kinnock At end add 'but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech does not make reference to a Bill to commit the United Kingdom to transitional membership of the European Economic Area, following withdrawal from the European Union.'. Amendment (k) Ian Murray Mr Paul J Sweeney Gerard Killen Martin Whitfield Lesley Laird Danielle Rowley Hugh Gaffney At end add 'but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech does not end austerity or cuts to social security, or provide transitional protection to the WASPI women, or extend the exemption from Value Added Tax to Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, or provide greater support for the North Sea oil and gas industry; and further regret that the additional spending in Northern Ireland has not been matched by equivalent additional spending in Scotland, England and Wales.'.
