Huw:

I believe that we have to add extra funding and reform to the NHS. I am no fan of increased taxes; but, in House of Commons yesterday, I called for income tax to be raised to fund services that may be being abused.

Today in Parliament, when debating the NHS I talked positively about what the last Labour Government and current Conservative Government have done.

Following my trip to Africa with UNICEF to see how Soccer Aid money is helping young people, I invited the Speaker to join the Parliamentary Soccer Aid team and asked the Secretary of State for International Development if she would join me in thanking everyone who gives their time and money to such a worthy cause.
