Brian Binley MP for Northampton South is delighted that some of his recommendations for coronial reform have been taken on board following the deaths of five elderly residents at Parkside care home in July and August of 2009.
In a letter from Brian to the Secretary of State for Health, Andrew Lansley MP in February of this year, Brian suggested that the Department for Health and the Department for Justice look again into the role the Coroner plays in modern Britain encouraging Coroners to be more proactive in cases such as those at Parkside care home.
In a written Ministerial statement by the Department for Justice, the Government recognised the need for reform of the coroners system. Under Government proposals, the Chief Coroner’s office will remain in statute but key functions will be transferred to either the Lord Chief Justice or Lord Chancellor.
Brian said: “One of the key recommendations in this statement is that the Lord Chief Justice will have the power to issue training regulations for the first time, which can include specific requirements for certain cases.”
“The Lord Chancellor, who must agree the cases, is clear that in certain cases, more targeted training for Coroners is needed and I am delighted that they have taken these concerns on board. We must ensure that the tragic deaths at Parkside never happen again and I would hope that these changes go some way to making sure it doesn’t.”
“The Department has also established a Ministerial Board to focus on matters such as policy, standards of service and other administrative aspects of the delivery of service by Coroners and will play a vital role in overseeing the delivery of reform.”
“I hope that these measures will improve the standard and quality of service the coroners provide and help to make the service more transparent and help to improve the experience of those coming into contact with the Coroner.”
“For too long the system has gone unreformed and many of these changes will help to address the weaknesses of the current system.”

MP calls for Human Rights Reform
Brian Binley MP for Northampton South has called on the UK Government to make the most of its chairmanship of the Council of Europe for the next six months and focus on reforming the Court of Human Rights in a debate in the House of Commons yesterday.
Brian said: “The European Court of Human Rights has a proud history of defending the rights of individuals, but there is no doubt that there have been several questionable judgments that raise issues about its competence across the piece.”
“We ought to be making an effort to ensure that a Court of this importance is matched by the quality of the judges who sit on its benches.”
“Those people are responsible for overturning the decisions of Parliament and our Courts, so we have the right to expect a better degree of competence.”
“Many of my constituents in Northampton have told me they believe some of its judgements are, to say the least, beyond the pale.”
Brian went on to highlight the massive back log of claims that are currently before the Court of Human Rights and welcomed Europe Minister, David Liddington’s concern on the issue.
Brian said: “I wish to touch briefly on the 162,000 case back log in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). We all know that is farcical, and something must be done about it. I am glad the Minister has decided to do something.”
Brian concluded stating: “I look forward- for the first time in many years- to action on the ECHR that will give British people and many of my constituent’s confidence. If the Minister achieves that over the next six months I would be the first to congratulate him.”

MP welcomes additional capacity announcement
Brian Binley MP for Northampton South and Chairman of the Northampton Rail Users Group has welcomed the written ministerial statement made today by Transport Minister, Theresa Villiers which has announced an additional 28,000 seats on the West Coast mainline.
The news came as the Department for Transport confirmed it has now agreed an extension with West Coast Trains Limited and Virgin Rail Group. Over the course of the extension, three new 600-seat Pendolino trains will be added to the line and 31 of the existing trains will be lengthened from 9 to 11 carriages. In all, 106 new carriages are being introduced on the route making 28,000 seats available each day.
Brian said: “I am absolutely delighted that additional capacity has been found for the West Coast Main Line and this will undoubtedly have a positive effect for commuters and passengers from Northampton.”
“Although only a few Virgin Trains stop at Northampton, the announcement should help London Midland services which will benefit the town.”
“Whilst I welcome the decision, it is clear that in the longer term, even with these improvements, the line will be at full capacity by 2024. We need High Speed 2 to free up the slots of the West Coast Main Line to provide the level of service Northampton will need to support its growth projections.”
“The additional capacity will also be of benefit to the nation as a whole. The West Coast Mainline is one of our busiest and most important rail arteries and is vital for trade and industry. We need the additional line support HS2 to guarantee the future prosperity of the Nation.”

Another easy money fix is an expensive substitute for growth
The growing difference between what the Office of Budget Responsibility anticipated as our path from recession, and what has actually happened causes me increasingly substantial concerns. Our response seems to be an insatiable appetite to reach for ever more expensive monetary instruments to kick-start our failing growth strategy – but the sums involved are terrifying in magnitude. Yet progressive increments of monetary indulgence have not worked to date, and there is little encouragement on the horizon. Inflation is not the way out of our current crisis, and we should not restrict ourselves solely to using monetary devices whose use may inhibit a sensible, balanced policy response.
Following last year’s General Election, the country faced a dreadful crisis in monetary, fiscal and financial terms: inflation was well below target; the budget deficit was of eye-watering proportions; and the banks were feeble and hesitant. Last June’s emergency budget removed us, temporarily, from the danger zone, and the Chancellor’s numbers were finely judged to avert cataclysm. Yet, fifteen months on, the crisis is every bit as profound, as we teeter on the brink of a double-dip recession. With just a few weeks before the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement, I hope that the Government will prove how alive they are to our current predicament, and take the cautious steps to provide additional relief.
Labour’s answer has been to call for a slower timetable in reducing the deficit, alongside unaffordable generic tax cuts: these demands are irresponsible and serve to prove that they wish to ignore the problem and hope that it takes itself away. But their shrieking for blunt, populist fiscal measures are proving a distraction from the argument which many of us wish to make about a more nuanced role for fiscal policy. Yes, tackling the deficit needs to be a major priority – as does bringing inflation back under control and fixing the troubles of our banking system – but we should be alive to the way in which careful, targeted tax measures could stimulate growth without creating additional burdens on the economy.
Our problems have been made worse by the sluggish response of global markets: we have not managed to increase our trade volumes to the extent anticipated. The export-led recovery has stuttered, and risks grinding to a slow and painful halt. Few would envy George Osborne the task that he faces, but this Autumn Statement is a real opportunity to make a difference – and our prospects for economic growth hang on the decisions that he makes.
I want to see the Government take seriously the contribution of using the tax system to create the space to allow businesses to prosper and for consumers to consume. Part of the problem is a question of wider confidence, but that is not likely to be overcome with households retrenching in the face of crippling taxation and ever-rising prices, particularly on the commodities that we are most dependent on and consume most often.
Neither is it true to say that all tax measures that we could take would add to the tax burden: notwithstanding the need to control public spending very carefully, some targeted tax interventions would generate revenue for the Exchequer. For example, the Federation of Master Builders has long campaigned for a reduction in the rate of VAT on home repair, maintenance and improvement work: they estimate that a five per cent cut could deliver a total stimulus to the economy of around £1.4 billion in the first year alone – at a cost of between £102 million and £508 million. They predict that this measure would create around 34,5000 new jobs in the construction sector and 81,5000 jobs in the wider economy by 2019.
This crisis started in the housing market, and we have got to address the problem that remains there. The number of mortgage approvals has fallen dramatically and mortgage lending has dropped to their lowest levels since records were first collected. The difficulties which first-time buyers are facing are reverberating through the housing market, and stifling other improvements. We need the banks to be more alive to the pressures facing first-time buyers, and I would hope that the Government would consider a sensible approach to help those trying to buy their first home. The cost of operating the Mortgage Interest Relief at Source scheme was estimated by the Council of Mortgage Lenders to be between fifty and eighty million pounds each year. We were promised that its withdrawal would contribute to long-term stability of the economy – but that has not happened. I believe that the re-introduction of MIRAS to first-time buyers for a period of five years would help deliver that stimulus. I believe that we stand more chance of getting the banks lending again if we can get the housing market moving – and President Obama has introduced a mortgage tax relief scheme for homeowners in the United States.
Using the tax system to help add weight to our growth strategy need not be seen as surrender towards the Keynesian school of economics: but relying wholly on monetary measures to deliver carries greater risk of failure. Why not use all the tools in the box – especially when the monetary response has proven so unconvincing? The Autumn Statement provides that chance to fine-tune our response to the disappointing global conditions which have held us back: and we need to be focused on kick-starting the growth whose contribution to recovery so far has been negligible.
Our response needs to be grounded in the real world: quantitative easing is not an option without cost, and deciding the appropriate balance will involve judgements about the value of different interventions. In that context, I believe that it is not a question of whether we use the tax system to help deliver that much-needed growth, but when. I do not believe that we have the luxury of time to wait – and we cannot afford the alternative.

Binley urges at risk groups to get their flu jab
Brian Binley MP for Northampton South has taken part in a campaign day in Westminster to encourage constituents in Northampton to get their flu jab this winter particularly for those in at risk categories.
Last year, 72.8% of people over 65 years and 45.2% in the at risk groups were vaccinated against flu in Northamptonshire PCT, compared with the national averages of 72.8% for the over 65’s and 50.4% for those ‘at risk’.
Brian said: “A couple of years ago I fell ill with swine flu and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I was bed ridden for three weeks and I wouldn’t want anyone to have to suffer that experience if they didn’t have to.”
“The seasonal flu vaccination is important to help protect those who are more susceptible to serious complications or even death from flu. I would encourage all those that are over the age of 65 or are in one of those at risk categories to visit their surgeries and get the jab.”
Dr George Kassianos, a GP and Fellow and Immunisation Lead of the Royal College of GPs, said “Despite the relatively mild flu season last year, people should remember that flu remains a serious threat, particularly for those aged over 65 and those of any age with medical conditions that put them at increased risk from influenza infection and its complications, for whom it can be a pretty nasty and debilitating illness. It’s not too late, and I would encourage everyone at risk to get their annual flu jab.”
The Department of Health provides free seasonal flu vaccinations for at risk groups, which include those aged 65 or over; people with chronic respiratory disease (including asthma), heart, renal, liver or neurological disease; diabetes; low immune systems; as well as people living in long-stay facilities such as nursing and residential homes, and carers of elderly or disabled people.
The initiative is sponsored by the UK Vaccine Industry Group (UVIG) and is supported by the Department of Health as a useful way to highlight the importance of flu vaccination.

Binley to oversee Bulgarian elections
Brian Binley MP for Northampton South is leading a delegation from the Council of Europe to oversee elections in Bulgaria this week.
Bulgaria elects at national level a head of state- The President, and a legislature. The Presidential elections take place in the Country this Sunday and current President Gerogi Parvanov’s second term expires in January 2012, meaning he is ineligible to stand in this election as Presidents can only serve a maximum of two five year terms.
18 candidates are in the running for the Presidency and all 23 political parties in Bulgaria have declared their participation in the election. The favourite for President is Rosen Plevneliev and Margarita Popova for Vice President from the Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) Party first formed in 2006.
The party was the decisive winner of the 2009 Parliamentary election and is led by the Mayor of Sofia Boyko Borisov.
Brian said: “I am very proud to be leading this delegation to Bulgaria. There are 11 other Members of the Council of Europe on the trip along with secretariat support and also Members of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe.”
“We are going to meet with the election candidates and their representatives, the Chairperson of the Central Election Commission and NGO’s prior to the election before deploying throughout the Country on Sunday to observe the conduct of the ballot.”
“Bulgaria is subject to ‘post monitoring dialogue’ with the Council of Europe and I will be reporting back to the Council on my findings at a meeting in Edinburgh at the end of November as part of the ongoing process.”

MP calls for answers following night club death
Brian Binley MP for Northampton South has called for a full inquiry to be held in public following the death of a young women at the Lava and Ignite Nightclub in Northampton in the early hours of this morning.
Brian said: “My thoughts are with the family and friends of the young lady who sadly lost her life and others who were injured and it is important that they get some answers so that they can have some closure.”
“There are many serious questions which need answering as to how this tragic incident occurred. For instance what door control methods were in place? How many people were inside the club at the time? Was this above the legal limit and did it breach licensing laws?”
“It is also important that we establish answers to these questions so that we can make sure that this never happens again, not only in Northampton but also in other nightclubs up and down the Country.”
“This is clearly a matter of national importance as a comment on the Daily Mail website from Edinburgh states: ‘Been to a Lava and Ignite nightclub in Edinburgh and I am not surprised by this story. The stairs leading up to the upstairs dance floor became incredibly packed and people were stuck half way downstairs for a good 30 minutes while people pushed, it was incredible no one was hurt.’”
Brian continued: “On the basis of these comments youngsters and their families have the right to know that when they go into a nightclub they are safe.”
Northamptonshire Police have stated that a multi-agency approach had been launched to investigate the incident and that inquires were ongoing.

MP condemns attacks on Camp Ashraf
Brian Binley MP for Northampton South has spoken at a rally in Washington condemning the attacks that have been carried out against the residents of Camp Ashraf.
The rally was attended by a number of other key speakers including Patrick Kennedy, son of former US senator Ted Kennedy and former Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Rhode Island’s 1st District.
Brian said: “At the rally I urged Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to de list the Peoples Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI/MEK) from the U.S. list of terrorist organisations.”
“It is vitally important that this happens as thousands of Members of PMOI/MEK have repeatedly come under deadly attack in their main base of Camp Ashraf, Iraq, by Iraqi armed forces at the behest of Iran’s fundamentalist regime.”
“Iraq’s Prime Minister Nuri Maliki uses the terror label as an excuse to murder innocent residents. “
“In April this year Iraqi forces butchered 36 Members at Camp Ashraf and injured hundreds more- it is for this reason that I am urging the U.S. Government to intervene.”
“I am disgusted that the Iraqi Government, who our armed forces helped to create in the recent war in Iraq, are carrying out these atrocities. I was so disgusted that earlier this year I tabled a motion at the Council of Europe calling for the Council to look specifically at these human rights abuses.”
“It was for these sorts of reasons that the Council was first established and it is a matter which I know will be taken very seriously.”
Following on from the rally in Washington Brian followed up on these meetings by travelling to Geneva to further press home the case.
