Scott Benton (Blackpool South) (Con)
As the Prime Minister pointed out at the Conservative party conference, life expectancy in Blackpool is 15 years lower than it is in some areas just a few miles away. This scheme will help to reduce those disparities. Does the Minister agree that Blackpool would be the ideal location for this pilot scheme?
Maggie Throup
I am not going to give a one-word answer on this occasion, but obviously the location will be chosen carefully and will be announced in due course.
Maggie Throup
Obviously we will be looking at ways in which we can engage people, and ensure that they are fully aware of the pilot and have ready access to it.
Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)
I thank the Minister for her statement. We now return to the debate on the Bill.

I thank the hon. Gentleman for his question. I reassure him that a lot of investment is being put into the health service, as I am sure he is aware, to ensure that we can tackle the backlog that has been created because of the pandemic.
Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)
I gather there may be a point of order. Did somebody wish to raise a point of order? We need to move on. There should be a statement from the Secretary of State.

Maggie Throup
I will take the hon. Lady’s comments on board. The progress that has been made with regard to unlawful convictions has been really helpful.
We have come so far in our fight, but we still have a long way to go. This pandemic is not yet over, and the steps we are proposing will give us the support we need to continue our fight against the virus while restoring yet more of our precious freedoms and the important experiences that we really love.
I commend the motion to the House.
Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)
The question is Motion No. 4 as on the Order Paper. As many as are of that opinion, say Aye. [Hon. Members: “Aye.”] Of the contrary, No. [Interruption.] Could I have the Noes again?
