Question
This is fantastic news—so many people have campaigned for it over so many years. I thank my colleague Baroness Kramer in the Lords, who helped by tabling an amendment to the Financial Services and Markets Bill that has brought us to this point. Will the Minister join me in paying tribute to my constituent Andrew Turner, who was one of the first parents to discover this issue when his child Mikey reached the age of 18 six years ago and has campaigned tirelessly on it? He has done a fantastic job. Would she like to congratulate him?100% vibes
Answer
I would, and I am grateful for the opportunity to do so. I congratulate Mr Turner and indeed the hon. Member on all their work.
Verdict: GREEN (93/100)
The question had a single part, and the minister answered it directly with a clear 'yes' and no hedging. The reply also included the congratulations to Mr Turner that the question called for. The exchange is a complete, committed answer that the asker would have no need to follow up on.
