BUSINESS OF THE DAY

1. QUEEN'S SPEECH (MOTION FOR AN ADDRESS): ADJOURNED DEBATE [26 JUNE]

Until 7.00pm (Standing Order No. 9(3))

Proposed subject for debate: Education and Local Services

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)

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

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.'.

Amendment (b)

Caroline Lucas

Mr David Lammy

Chris Law

Layla Moran

Liz Saville Roberts

Kerry McCarthy

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.'.

Stuart C. McDonald Stewart Malcolm McDonald John McNally

Carol Monaghan Gavin Newlands Brendan O'Hara

Tommy Sheppard Chris Stephens Dr Philippa Whitford

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.'.

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

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

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.'.

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

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.'.

Joanna Cherry

Patrick Grady

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
