We now are coming to questions the Prime Minister.

I will first call the Prime Minister to answer the engagements, Question 1,

and then I will call Sir Guri Streeter to us is supplementary. Prime Minister.

Mr. Speaker, I'm sure members of the House will want to join me in offering our condolences

to the family and friends of our former colleague Brian Binley, who died over Christmas

and who was an irrepressible member, Mr. Speaker, of this House.

Mr. Speaker, today we are publishing our proposals for reforming the Mental Health Act.

For too long, we've seen rising rates of detention that not only had little beneficial effect,

but left some worse off, not better of.

That's why we're making sure the Act works better for

some of the most vulnerable in our society and gives them more of a legal right in deciding

what treatment works best for them. And my right honourable friend, the Health Secretary,

will update the House shortly. Mr. Speaker, this morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues

and others. In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

We had no head to South West Devon with Sir Gurry Street to Suggari.

Thank you, Mr Speaker.

And I know the whole House will want to associate itself with the Prime Minister's remarks about our dear Brian Binley.

Mr Speaker, one of the groups hit hardest by the pandemic is young people in full-time education,

especially those facing exams last year and this, with all of the mental health challenges that come from such uncertainty.

Does my right on my friend agree that those for whom exams have been scrapped this year would now benefit from the utmost clarity about how exactly they will be assessed?

A clear plan announced early without last-minute changes to help teachers and students prepare for an even more challenging experience.

Thank you.
