welcome the publication of the green paper but echoing the concerns of the education and health select committeescope is limited and it is not ambitious enough. what we have seen is an effort to improve school—based support but nothing about all the support but nothing about all the support that children need for the childline is a round—the—clock 2a hours a day mental health service which children are increasingly turning to. but the problem is it has not been recognised in this green paper and for those children who do need support out of the school system there's nothing there for them unless they are eligible for them unless they are eligible for them unless they are eligible for the very high thresholds of specialist nhs support. but it is a green paper and you're hoping that the pressure you might be able to bring to bear or the nspcc might convince the government to go further. absolutely and that is why we launched the uk campaign, together with 22,000 members of the public come we handed in a petition to downing street last week in recognition of the 22,000 counselling sessions we deliv

conservative chair of the health select committee, sarah wollaston, says she welcomes the referenduman bring about change in northern ireland. this is a great result that we've seen in the republic of ireland. it's now completely unacceptable that women in northern ireland will be in the only part of the united kingdom not to have the same human rights as women elsewhere. and also things have moved on in the republic of ireland too, so it's absolutely time for us to change this. if the stormont assembly was in place, of course that would be the first port of call, but it isn't. and i think if an amendment is allowed by the speaker to the domestic violence bill, to allow women to have the same rights as the rest of the united kingdom, i will certainly be voting for it, and it would be likely that would be a free vote. and i think parliament would vote to bring those rights in line with the rest of the united kingdom. it has always been an anomaly that women in northern ireland haven't had the same human rights to access safe termination of pregnancy in northern ireland as women in the

0urjoint select committee report calls for ambitious coordinated cross departmental action, yet there is virtually nothing in his new strategy to tackle the impact of road traffic. as the chair of the healthhasjust said motal shift gets two paragraphs, active traveljust three sentences. he's clearly rejected a ban on diesel and petrol cars before 2040. can he point to a single measure of funding that he is announcing today that will better align urban planning, public transport and fiscal incentives as our committee's recommended? i think it's important to recognise that in the report tha twas produced by the honourable lady and by other select committee chairs there was a widespread recognition that road transport was simply one of the sources of air pollution, and in this report what we do is we already complement what was announced last year in terms of our roadside emissions knocks strategy with action on ports, action on air travel, action on trains, and that is a signal of the determined efforts we are taking a cross government to deal with all the sources of air pollution. precisely what are his plans to interfere with my fireplaces and my bonfire? well, i know that my honourable f

mps and some senior conservative mps also like they're williston who is the chair of the health select committee view is that it's not right that women in northern ireland can't be able to access the same rights as women in the rest of the united kingdom. and if an amendment is allowed by the speaker, during the domestic violence bill that has come to parliament that put that right, i will be supporting it. i think there would be a majority in the house of commons to support all of this if there were going to be a vote on it, and we are not sure if oi’ vote on it, and we are not sure if or when that vote might take place. but until then, i think the pressure will continue to increase on theresa may, who is in it has to be said and extremely tricky situation because remember, she relies on her alliance with the socially conservative dup for her parliamentary majority here. she needs them to get the tricky legislation through like all that brexit legislation, and what is clear tonight is the dup has said they do not want in any circumstance is the abortion laws in northern ireland to be liberalise

well, joining me now from exeter is the conservative chair of the health select committee, sarah wollastonhts an important fact, this should be a decision for the executive. of course who would all like to see the stormont assembly back up and running. it's now an acceptable that women in northern ireland will be in the only part of the united kingdom not to have the same human rights as women elsewhere. and also things moved have on in the republic of ireland too, so it's absolutely time for us to change this. if the stormont assembly was in place, that would be the first port of call, but it isn't. and i think if an amendment is allowed by the speaker to the domestic violence bill, to allow women to have the same rights as the rest of the united kingdom, i will certainly be voting for it, and it will be likely that will be a free vote. and i think parliament would vote to bring those rights in line with the rest of the united kingdom. reports in the sunday times today that a number of people like yourself in parliament are going to swarm around theresa may and put her under a huge amount

let me bring in a conservative mp on the health select committee in the house of commons. seen here. i have had the privilege of working with lots of councillors, they are wonderful people, but not many of them think bringing down rates of childhood obesity is something within their gift or something they are supposed to be doing as local councillors. that is not the view of councillors. that is not the view of councillors in amsterdam. sorry to interrupted, michael is shaking his we talk about political will. the fa ct we talk about political will. the fact is that councils are calling for powers that councils can have now to ban advertising next to schools for junk food, now to ban advertising next to schools forjunk food, to have a say over how the sugar drink taxes paid and we have not seen that political will from the government. in my own local authority we provide swimming lessons and work with takeaway is to provide healthy options so it is not true to say councils are not interested. today's severely obese children risk becoming tomorrow's severely obese adults an

health care. now the joint select committee, which i'm proud to be a member of, we're termed to find a permanent solution for the miners pension. over 70 years ago, harry truman promised that the government would guarantee our brave coal miners benefits in return for their services. letlet me tell you up until that point in time, my grandparents on both sides of my family, my mom and my dad were coal miners and both start grocery stores. up until that period of time there were no guarantees, no benefits. when they said you owed your store to -- soul to the company store, that was figuratively direct -- correct. my grandfather said that he loaded coal until he since -- since he was 7. he always owed them for than he paid them. harry truman finally realized what the coal industry and coal miners have ton for america. there is not another group of people that have done more through blood, sweat, tears, and hard labor. they mined the coal that made the steel that helped to build the industrial revolution and help to lift the middle class to what it is and what it has been. so over 70 years ago, president tru
