That this House is alarmed at the growing trend of rural maternity ward closures; believes forcing women to travel more than an hour to the nearest hospital is unsafe and leaves mothers at risk of harm; further believes no expectant mother should be forced to worry whether she will be able to reach the closest maternity unit in time during labour; condemns the previous Government for the structural issues they left in maternity services; disagrees with those arguing that closures are inevitable; urges the Government to properly explore alternative options, including funding rotations at larger units to maintain experience, rather than simply closing rural maternity units; praises the courage of mothers opposing these closures in north Devon and elsewhere; and calls for a maternity rescue package to save vital services and make Britain the safest country in the world to have a baby.

That this House is appalled by the continued use of non-disclosure agreements to silence victims of harassment, sexual harassment, discrimination and abuse; recognises that such agreements are most often imposed where there is a stark imbalance of power; notes that recent high-profile cases have shown how NDAs can be used to keep allegations out of public view; pays tribute to the work of Zelda Perkins CBE and the Can’t Buy My Silence campaign for the progress made so far; welcomes provisions in the Employment Rights Act that will void clauses that prevent workers from speaking about harassment and discrimination; remains concerned that the Government’s consultation on how those provisions will operate closed on 8 July 2026 yet no response has been published; urges the Government to publish its response as soon as possible; and understands that the country owes it to survivors to implement the ban without delay.
