- Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Office: Israel (7 Oct 2008)
Ann Clwyd: May I say that the release of some of the Palestinian prisoners is to be welcomed, but nevertheless more than 40 elected Members of Parliament are still in jail without charge and without trial? When we were there with the Inter-Parliamentary Union at the end of July, we made it clear that that was totally unacceptable. They are elected Members of Parliament and should be either charged or... - Written Answers — Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform: Medical Treatments: Lasers (15 Jul 2008)
Ann Clwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform how many complaints have been received by local trading standards bodies about non-surgical laser and intense pulsed light treatments in the last five years. - Oral Answers to Questions — Work and Pensions: Jobshop (York) (7 Jul 2008)
Ann Clwyd: As my hon. Friend knows, I was very pleased that Remploy in my constituency was removed from the list of closures, but its continuing existence depends on it securing contracts. It supplies health care products to England and to Scotland but has no contracts in Wales. I made every effort to secure those contracts, but what else can the Government do to ensure that the factory, which is very... - Oral Answers to Questions — Wales: Cardiff Airport (2 Jul 2008)
Ann Clwyd: What recent discussions he has had with the Welsh Assembly Government on increasing the number of international routes flown from Cardiff International Airport. - Oral Answers to Questions — Wales: Cardiff Airport (2 Jul 2008)
Ann Clwyd: As everyone is agreed that there is over-centralisation of air transport in the UK, why are 70 per cent. of air travellers in Wales still forced to go outside the country to get to their destination? Surely it is time that services from Cardiff airport were able to fly to more destinations in the world. - Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Office: Yemen (24 Jun 2008)
Ann Clwyd: As my hon. Friend knows, the Yemeni constitution guarantees freedom of expression, but in reality that is not the case. Will he take up the case of Yemeni journalist Abdul Karim al-Khaiwani, who was sentenced to six years of imprisonment on 9 June? Amnesty International considers him to be a prisoner of conscience, as he has been convicted and sentenced solely because of something he wrote.... - Olympics: Zimbabwe Elections (23 Jun 2008)
Ann Clwyd: As my right hon. Friend knows, there is a split in the leadership of the African National Congress in South Africa. While I was there a few weeks ago, President Mbeki addressed 1,500 delegates from all over the world and did not mention the word "Zimbabwe". However, the Speaker of the Parliament got up directly afterwards and said that nobody should remain silent on the issue. There is one... - Written Answers — Duchy of Lancaster: Medical Treatments: Lasers (18 Jun 2008)
Ann Clwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many complaints have been received by the Healthcare Commission about non-surgical laser and intense pulsed light treatments in the last five years. - Written Answers — Duchy of Lancaster: Medical Treatments: Lasers (18 Jun 2008)
Ann Clwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many adverse incidents have been reported to the Healthcare Commission from the use of laser and intense pulsed light devices in non-surgical treatments in the last five years. - Written Answers — Duchy of Lancaster: Medical Treatments: Lasers (18 Jun 2008)
Ann Clwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what (a) the basis and (b) method was used for calculating the figure of 400 treatments by laser and intense pulsed light establishments per annum referred to in his Department's Private and Voluntary Healthcare: Care Standards Act 2000-regulations and national minimum standards consultation document. - Written Answers — Duchy of Lancaster: Medical Treatments: Lasers (18 Jun 2008)
Ann Clwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many patients have been treated by the NHS for laser or intense pulsed light injuries to the skin in the last five years; and how many of these were known to be caused by private non-surgical treatment providers. - Written Answers — Duchy of Lancaster: Medical Treatments: Lasers (18 Jun 2008)
Ann Clwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate he has made of the number of non-surgical treatment providers using laser or intense pulsed light devices in England; and how many such establishments are registered with the Healthcare Commission. - Written Answers — Work and Pensions: Eyesight: Surgery (16 Jun 2008)
Ann Clwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many complaints have been received by the Health and Safety Executive about non-surgical laser and intensive pulsed light treatments in the last five years. - Oral Answers to Questions — International Development: Zimbabwe (11 Jun 2008)
Ann Clwyd: If he will make a statement on the humanitarian situation in Zimbabwe. - Oral Answers to Questions — International Development: Zimbabwe (11 Jun 2008)
Ann Clwyd: While I was in South Africa a few weeks ago, Zimbabwean refugees handed me a note for 10 million Zimbabwean dollars. That buys a bag of tomatoes in Zimbabwe. Now Mugabe is prepared to starve his people to death for their votes. What kind of human being is President Mugabe? - Oral Answers to Questions — Foreign and Commonwealth Office: China (13 May 2008)
Ann Clwyd: The Foreign Secretary has used strong words on the subject of Burma and the responsibilities of other countries, such as China, to assist in getting humanitarian aid instantly-not in a few days-to Burma. The United Nations has established the principles of the right to intervene and the responsibility to protect. We chair the Security Council; surely we can do more than we are now. - Opposition Day — [8th Allotted Day]: Iraq Inquiry (25 Mar 2008)
Ann Clwyd: I think that I have been quite consistent during the time that I have spoken about Iraq in this Chamber. I argued for one thing-for the removal of a regime that persecuted its own people and was responsible for 5,000 deaths in Halabja, for the deaths of tens of thousands of Kurds throughout Kurdistan, and for the deaths of tens of thousands of Shi'a in the south. It was for humanitarian... - Opposition Day — [8th Allotted Day]: Iraq Inquiry (25 Mar 2008)
Ann Clwyd: I am sorry, but the hon. Gentleman is completely missing my point, which is that there was an alternative to war, but nobody took it seriously enough. At that time, it was possible under international law to indict leading members of the regime, particularly Tariq Aziz, on the taking of hostages. We presented evidence to the then Attorney-General, who passed it to Scotland Yard. I remember... - Opposition Day — [8th Allotted Day]: Iraq Inquiry (25 Mar 2008)
Ann Clwyd: My hon. Friend makes a good point. I would have liked a full-scale indictment where all the charges against Saddam Hussein could have been heard. I hope that they will be heard in other cases; do not forget that the trials are still going on. My point does not concern those trials, however, but the opportunity that we missed in this place for an alternative to war. I was not somebody who... - Opposition Day — [8th Allotted Day]: Iraq Inquiry (25 Mar 2008)
Ann Clwyd: My hon. Friend was one of those few people who, in 1988, came with me to the Foreign Office to complain about the actions of the Conservative party in its dealings with Iraq. In particular, when the events at Halabja occurred, the then Foreign Office Minister said that there was no evidence. We said at that time, "We insist that you get the evidence, because it is there." My hon. Friend has...
