Updates: Commons debates whether to renew the coronavirus law; Prime Minister Rejects Starmer’s Over Widespread Confusion
Here’s Matt Hancock’s full quote on the new arrangements.
I. . . it proposes that we replace the technique with the introduction of urgent measures and I am very grateful to all the colleagues with which we have worked to advance a proposal that will allow us to make decisions and put them into force quickly, but also to ensure that they are well reviewed.
Today I can verify in the House that for vital national measures, England or the United Kingdom effective, we will consult Parliament. Whenever possible, we will vote before those regulations go into effect.
But, of course, responding to the virus means that the government will have to act temporarily when it is mandatory and we cannot delay the pressing regulations necessary for the virus and save lives.
I am sure that no member of this House would need to restrict the government’s ability to take emergency action in the interests of the national interest as we did in March, and we will continue to involve the House in reviewing our decisions in the way the Prime Minister said last time. . week with normal statements and debates and the ability of members to further interview government clinical advisers, gain access to the knowledge of their constituents and subscribe to daily calls with the general payer.
Hancock said he hoped the new arrangements would be noticed as a new convention.
Hancock is now on what the government will do to make sure MPs have more say in emergency regulations.
(This is the negotiated commitment to conservative rebels). )
He says he believes the law is advancing through careful scrutiny in the House of Commons.
He says that in the future, for vital national measures affecting the total of England or the total United Kingdom, the government will consult with Members and give them a vote where imaginable before those measures come into force.
But he says ministers will have to reserve the right to act temporarily in an emergency.
Matt Hancock, the secretary, opens the debate.
He says the government wants the powers on the spot and wants to be reviewed, even if not all legal powers are in the future.
Members are now the debate over the law of coronavirus.
A provision of the law stipulates that it will have to be renewed through Parliament after six months. MEMBERS are recently discussing this provision. There is an undeniable movement calling on Members to agree that “the transitority provisions of the Coronavirus Act 2020 will not yet have to expire “and is not modifiable. That is why the President did not settle for the amendment tabled through Sir Graham Brady, or any of the other amendments.
The hundred most sensible workers in British football deserve to give their weekly salaries to help network clubs across the country, MPs have heard. Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston gave the impression of helping the concept in the Commons before it was introduced through Labour’s Chris Evans. .
On an urgent question about the government for sport, Evans said:
I wonder if the Minister has any idea of more cutting-edge tactics to increase the budget by creating some kind of network that accepts as true what we ask of the hundred highest-paid footballers in this country, some earn $350,000 a week, $500,000 a week. donate only a week, a salary to be accepted as true, which can then be distributed among the clubs that suffer so that communities can continue to enjoy their football.
Huddleston replied:
Today and in the future, I inspire all players in the game to do the right thing and play his part, and he makes some positive questions about voluntary donations and what we will ask and expect from the game at other levels.
Public Health Wales recorded 388 cases of coronavirus and one death.
There were 424 new cases of coronavirus in Northern Ireland in the last 24-hour reporting period, the Department of Health announced. The department was informed of another coronavirus-related death, although it did not happen on the last day.
When asked about the possibility of imposing stricter restrictions on coronaviruses on Merseyside (see 2. 18 pm), Downing Street said officials were “closely monitoring” coronavirus grades at Merseyside and that existing regulations remained “under constant control. “
NHS England has recorded 43 more hospital deaths from coronavirus. He says the other people who died were between 43 and 98 years old and had all known underlying fitness issues. The details are here.
Covid-19’s inability to protect fitness care staff has been described as “outrageous to the point of immorality” by a Nobel laureate Sir Paul Nurse, director of the Francis Crick Institute in London and a geneticist who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, said the UK and other countries were “unfortunately un prepared” for the pandemic. As PA Media reports, in an interview in the most recent Big Issue magazine, Nurse said the government had misunderstood how to treat science and the public.
There were simulations of what we do on the occasion of a pandemic. We fail miserably in trials and fail miserably in reality. The fact that not even our physical care staff has gadgets is outrageous to the point of being immoral.
We’re going from a crisis in the midst of chaos, frankly.
In some respects, I have sympathy for the government, because it’s a terrible thing to deal with, and I have sympathy for scientists looking to advise them, but I think we’ve treated it very well.
My pleasure over 20 years when I was concerned [in government] is that the UK has generally done well in its interaction with science.
I am less inspired by this government, because it is populist, likes to rely so much on evidence and experts because they have to justify an opposing opinion to well-informed arguments.
The National Education Union needs the government to “Nightingale schools” with more teachers and smaller classes, to help slow the spread of the Covid-19 virus in high-risk areas.
The call occurs when NEU has introduced a new online page to track Covid-19 outbreaks at school as a component of a government lobbying crusade for greater access to testing for staff and students.
In a report ahead of the union’s special convention on Saturday, NEU undersecretary Kevin Courtney said:
We have Nightingale courts to deal with the delay. We think we want Nightingale classes, too.
Some other people tell us that it is too ambitious, but in Bolton and Newcastle we are involved that they will move on to a rotation operation and we believe that cutting elegant sizes in those spaces is a better option. However, there are replacement staff, there are [teachers] who qualified last summer and still do not have a task and it can be a task they simply prefer to do.
Courtney said the Department of Education’s most recent figures showed that more than 500 secondary schools in England were partially open and that there were reports of total age categories and teams of academics who read for gcSE and A-level or BTec qualifications sent home to isolate. Themselves. .
Union delegates will also make a movement calling for adjustments to the review and evaluation formula for 2021. You need to abandon standardized tests in the number one schools and adjustments to the GCSE and A-level exams to prevent a repeat of this year’s fiasco.
