    Vicky Ford – 2021 Comments on Language Training

    The comments made by Vicky Ford, the Children and Families Minister, on 13 May 2021.

    We know the first years of a child’s life can be the most formative, which is why this Government is making it a priority to make sure all children have the best start in life.

    Speaking and communicating with confidence sets a child up for success in life, so it’s vital that we support children to grow in confidence with these skills – especially those for whom English is not their first language or who have been more isolated during the pandemic than their peers.

    The early results from Nuffield are very encouraging and I encourage every school with a Reception class to sign up in this second phase.

    Peter Kyle – 2021 Comments on Number of Collapsing Criminal Cases

    The comments made by Peter Kyle, the Shadow Victims and Youth Justice Minister, on 13 May 2021.

    Victims should be at the heart of our criminal justice system. Yet faced with a lack of enforceable rights and delays of several years until their case comes to trial, they are increasingly choosing to drop out of the process altogether – allowing perpetrators to go free.

    The Tories are failing in their core duty to protect victims, and to keep the public safe.

    Jonathan Ashworth – 2021 Comments on NHS Waiting List Reaching 5 Million

    The comments made by Jonathan Ashworth, the Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, on 13 May 2021.

    This week the five million patients waiting for treatment needed a Queen’s Speech that delivered an NHS rescue plan to provide timely treatment for those waiting for health care.

    These shocking levels of unmet care needs risk serious illness and permanent disability for thousands of people.

    This is a devastating verdict on 11 years of underfunding, cuts, understaffing and neglect of social care that left both health and care services weakened and exposed when the pandemic hit. We entered the crisis with sky high waiting lists, cancer targets missed and young people denied mental health support. It’s time for a reset on the NHS to deliver the care patients deserve.
