A question about : Today: MPs debate mental health and unemployment

Our goal is to post up information on work undertaken in the House of Commons that has a consumer focus which may not be highlighted elsewhere.

We have posted this on the Employment, Jobseeking & Training Board because we thought some of you might be interested in the topic of debate. We encourage discussion and comments concerning the topic or content of this thread.

Mental health and unemployment– Backbench Business Debate

Due to take place on Tuesday 24 February in the House of Commons Chamber

We anticipate this will start after 4pm following debates on motions relating to Procedure Committee Reports but the exact start time will depend on the day’s preceding business.

How to watch:

The debate can be viewed on Parliament TV (Silverlight or Windows Media Player required to stream TV): Parliament TV Player.

Transcripts of proceedings in the House of Commons Chamber are available three hours after they happen in Today’s Commons Debates.

About Backbench Business Debates:

The House of Commons Backbench Business Committee has a limited allocation of time outside Government control in which it can schedule subjects for debate suggested by backbench Members of Parliament.

The Committee can consider any subject for debate. This includes subjects raised in national or local campaigns, reports by select committees and other groups and issues suggested by constituents, including by people who have signed an e-petition or a traditional paper petition (there is no restriction on the number of signatures required).

To find out more about the work of the Backbench Business Committee visit their web pages: Backbench Business Committee.

We hope this is of interest.

Thanks
