I welcome the 25-year environment plan setting out our determination to leave the environment in a better state than we found it and outlining steps for a cleaner, greener Britain.


McGinn, Conor Patrick

There is no provision for a part of a country that leaves the EU to re-join the EU.


Tredinnick, David Arthur Stephen

I have a good recollection of those events, and the Bill is not about raising charges; it is about lowering charges and raising consultation levels.

It is a complicated area, and we need to enable local areas—the hon.


Cameron, David William Donald

Let me also update the House on yesterday’s terrorist attacks in Brussels.


Mordaunt, Penelope Mary

Under the new system, after the first year all new cars will pay the same but no existing cars will pay any more tax.

Holmes, Christopher

I am also very much looking forward to the maiden speech of the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of London.


Brokenshire, James Peter

They include the core principle that those who make a claim should do so in the first safe country in which they arrive.


Blackwood, Nicola

I am sure Noble Lords will agree that we abide by the rule of international law and take those commitments seriously.


Vere, Charlotte

I am also struck by the right reverend Prelate’s understanding that the Catholic Bishops’ Conference and the Church of Wales are not supportive of this Bill.


McDonald, Stewart Malcolm

Surely the £20 billion funding gap in the procurement budget will drag many of the aspirations in the strategy to the ground.


Soubry, Anna Mary

I commend her for her tenacity and for the passion with which she makes her case.


Hillier, Margaret Olivia

Their dignity is already through the floor and these little things can make a significant difference, but generic services just do not always get that.


Penning, Michael

I had those sorts of discussions when I was at the Department for Transport, and we continue to have them.


Corbyn, Jeremy Bernard

We can therefore draw no other conclusion than that Russia has a direct or indirect responsibility for this We have supported actions taken.

In Sweden, rents in the private sector are not allowed to be more than 105% of rents in equivalent accommodation owned by a municipal housing company.


Gale, Anita

Statistics show that it can take many years before women who are victims of domestic abuse act against their abusers, and this would no doubt be the same for LGBT people.


Finlay, Ilora Gillian

If we can reach a definition that seems right by then, we will have done the whole community a great service.


Adonis, Andrew

However, because it does not have sufficient trust in the Prime Minister to ensure that no deal is removed from the equation, we have this legislation


Burt, Alistair James Hendrie

In conclusion, we remain committed to encouraging both the Israelis and the Palestinians to revitalise the peace process.


Fox, Christopher

It means that there are lessons that the Government can learn about the rapid implementation of such a philosophical shift.


Raab, Dominic Rennie

When we think about justice, we usually think about the police, the courts, or perhaps the judges.


Whitfield, Martin David

What I take from knowing Grace is that here was a young woman who, rather than wanting to shout at people, wanted to educate them.


Gwynne, Andrew John

First, I suggest that there could be a requirement that operators could operate only with vehicles and drivers licensed within their own council area.


Hancock, Matthew John David

We will keep pushing it, because screening is so important to keeping people healthy.

Zero-hours contracts or flexible contracts—whichever way people want to see them—are at 2.8%.


Bowles, Sharon

She also made some important points earlier about what has come into our law allegedly from directives.


Thornton, Dorothea Glenys

The noble Baroness now seems to have realised that in every part of the House, including on her Benches, we take these matters particularly seriously.


Duncan, Ian

Where the other Bills focus on increasing clarity and confidence in Northern Ireland’s finances, this Bill looks to increase public confidence in Northern Ireland’s political institutions.


Smith, Julian Richard

We look forward to bringing forward legislation in that regard in due course.


Suenson-Taylor, Christopher

Indeed, in the other place, the Minister agreed to set this up


Rayner, Angela

What requests has the Secretary of State received from local authorities that cash cuts hitting face their schools and what has his response been?


Drake, Jean Lesley Patricia

This growing problem will not be addressed simply by exhorting firms to behave better; the Government need to take much more of a lead.


Empey, Reginald

I hope that they will surprise us and start to deal with this matter themselves.


Kinahan, Danny

Another key area that we should learn from and watch is the influence of the press, which has been touched on.


Stevenson, Robert

The background to the particularity of this amendment is that attempts were made to see whether universities could help and assist in this.


Vere, Charlotte

That the draft Regulations laid before the House on 14 March be approved Relevant document: 22nd Report from the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee (Sub-Committee B)


Abrahams, Deborah Angela Elspeth Marie

I dealt with that earlier in my speech In my constituency, more than 20,000 working families with nearly 30,000 children are claiming tax credits.


Collins, Raymond

My Lords, Amnesty International raised particular concerns over the crackdown on civil society and journalists in Kashmir and Jammu.


Jones, Jennifer

It is impossible to deny that massive errors occur in the UK immigration system.

Act, and as is clear in the White Paper, we are going to leave on 29 March next year.


Flather, Shreela

There is nothing more to be said other than that it is a horrible and horrifying practice.


Greening, Justine

I reiterate that this is indeed a better settlement for those schools than would have been the case had his party won the election.


Brooks-Osborne, Katharine Helen

An increase in the tolerance size is supported by international best practice, which recommends that flexibility should be worked into the system to allow for consideration of geography and community ties.


Bloomfield, Olivia

I have been advised that there are, regretfully, a number of other practical issues with the amendment as drafted.


Siddiq, Tulip Rizwana

Today I opened my local paper, the Camden New Journal, to read that he had described the “pygmy” nature of the Opposition.


Brennan, Kevin Denis

We are glad that it is doing that, but it is a very small amount.


Patel, Priti Sushil

None the less, I still emphasise that there is no need for individuals to travel.


May, Theresa Mary

That is what we are working for, and we have made significant progress in relation to citizens’ rights.


Jolliffe, Raymond

Empey, Reginald

I do not doubt for one moment that the greatest number of victims flowing from the Gaddafi years is to be found among the Libyan people themselves.


Graham, Richard Michael John Ogilvie

St James, this point is made very clear to him or her?

They then stay in force for two years, or until the end of the public health emergency is declared The hon.


Leslie, Christopher Michael

I do not know whether he is in his place, but perhaps he will join us later


Wheatcroft, Patience

So can the Minister say whether those who are simply told by someone with whom they live that they need to isolate can be subject to fines if they fail to do so?


Primarolo, Dawn

As others have said, it is used by perpetrators to gain immediate control of the entire household income.


Foster, Kevin John

Gentleman’s question, I can only conclude that he missed my appearance before the Scottish Parliament’s Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Affairs Committee on Thursday.


Griffith, Nia Rhiannon

The number of personnel choosing to leave the forces is at historically high levels and pay remains one of the top reasons why personnel decide to leave.


McIntosh, Anne

If 50,000 Swiss citizens request it, they must be put to a referendum.


Nash, John

The amendment also makes clear which local authority is responsible for notifying relevant events that take place within England.


Jackson, Stewart James

However, in 13 years of benign economic circumstances, the Labour Government did nothing at all about social care.


Cameron, David William Donald

We are doing everything we can to get through and knock down these wholly unjustified inquiries, because by and large, as we would expect, British forces behaved entirely properly.

Howell, John Michael

The next element in this debate is the intervention of the Secretary of State.

Rayner, Angela

All our nations and regions —the whole of Great Britain—have to come together, because this virus is a challenge for us all.


Hollis, Patricia

The Cabinet should not have permitted the Bill to go forward until it was ready.


Sunak, Rishi

That has been a long-standing feature of the scheme, and often one of its strengths.


Roberts, Robert Joseph

By addressing the binary nature of UK pension legislation, the Bill will give individuals greater opportunities to invest in a variety of schemes that benefit them and their needs.


Palmer, Ralph Matthew

Embedding national colleges in the network of polytechnics would give coherence and scalability.


Brake, Thomas Anthony

As John Kerry underlined, some unilateral actions also need to be taken.


Forsyth, Michael Bruce

My noble friend answers for the Government as a whole, not just on the health service, and it is not good enough to say that the Treasury is considering this matter.


Duncan, Ian

For too long we have seen these simply as issues to be dealt with by the individual; there is a wider community interest which we have recognised.


My noble friend Lord Cormack was short, sharp and very much to the point.


Hancock, Matthew John David

We do not want businesses in Stockport to be disadvantaged, so an offer, proportionate to the support that we have put into Liverpool and Lancashire, is on the table.


Fox, Christopher

The department will need tremendous ability to analyse and substantiate any claim around that.


Hamwee, Sally Rachel

I would be pleased if noble Lords took all that as read I hope it is not really inconsistent—is that what I heard the Minister say?


Bridges, James

The political declaration states that our long-term relationship should, “build on the single customs territory” What does that mean?


Hunt, Philip Alexander

This is a very important issue, which I look forward to debating when we get the Bill On NHS funding, I simply echo the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of London.


Desai, Meghnad

So the Labour Party has always needed arrangements such as that with the trade unions to get a little, respectable sum of money together


Benn, Hilary James

Evans, Natalie

We will continue to do so because we are seen as a world leader in this by our EU partners and we all know the benefits of working together.

As the MP for Dagenham, I feel that 2021 is an important year to have such a debate, as it marks our centenary.


Farry, Stephen Anthony

Can I ask the Secretary of State how this is going to work with regards to Northern Ireland?


Kennedy, Roy Francis

I hope that the noble Baroness, Lady Williams of Trafford, will address that in her reply.


Farron, Timothy James

Colleagues from all parts of the House are rightly praising the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change for her role in Paris.


Hunt, Jeremy Richard Streynsham

We are absolutely determined that, if we are putting that extra money into the NHS, it should come with reform that leads to better care for patients.


Hurd, Nicholas Richard

As I said, our climate finance over the next five years will be 50% greater than it was over the past five years.


Lytton, John

But I refer your Lordships to the non-statutory technical standards, as may be published by the Minister from time to time.


Liddell-Grainger, Ian Richard Peregrine

Bradley, Karen Anne

I must act independently and follow a process that is scrupulously fair and impartial.

This debate has allowed Members on all sides today to do just that.


Argar, Edward John Comport

Crosbie, Virginia Ann

Does she also agree with me that Welsh farm sausage is the finest addition to any good breakfast?


Callanan, Martin

My Lords, what I love about these Question Time sessions is that, no matter how much preparation you do, you never cover where the questions could go.


Khan, Mohammed Afzal

The Government’s plans have come under fire from their allies, as much as from their critics.


Mackintosh, David James

For too long this has focused on simply providing low-cost rented properties.


Donaghy, Rita

There are too many examples, particularly in London, where a subletting is in turn sublet for even shorter periods.


Ashworth, Jonathan Michael Graham

If that were applied, 60,000 current staff in the NHS who are not covered by the shortage occupation list would be affected.


Dodds, Anneliese Jane

The kickstart scheme was much heralded, but yesterday we learned that it appears to be missing out around 99 of every 100 young jobseekers.


Williams, Susan

Of course, we used alternative channels such as Interpol up to 2015, so it is clear that alternative systems do work.


Clark (Pow), Rebecca Faye

The Environment Bill has a big section on tackling air quality, with two targets to be set.


Truss, Elizabeth Mary

However, we do need to ensure that they have career and promotion opportunities.


Jenkinson, Mark Ian

My constituency sits entirely within the Borough of Allerdale, where our rates have declined to just over 70 per 100,000, and we are due to enter tier 2 restrictions.


Brown, Alan

It is perfectly obvious that there should be a cut in tax avoidance and evasion.


Sheikh, Mohamed

The discussion addressed the very matter of exporting our Islamic finance capability, and there was a desire among the stakeholders to be more involved in overseas activities.


Williamson, Gavin Alexander

We are very conscious of that—Annabel reminds me of it regularly.


Salmond, Alexander Elliot Anderson

That gives us the opportunity for real leadership, and we should do more in this House.


Leigh (Frazer), Lucy Claire

Yesterday, during an Education Committee evidence session, we heard about the truism that what affects pupils’ attainment most is good teaching in the classroom.


Raab, Dominic Rennie

I believe that, with this White Paper and the previous one, the full strategy can be seen in the round.


Stevenson, Robert

These regulators were largely economic in origin and have only gradually added social regulation to their parts


Coffey, Thérèse Anne

We should recognise the efforts of the hard-working engineers and all involved in working through the night to fix these problems


Hope, James

The Government’s response is right to draw attention to the conflicting factors that are at play as plans are laid for the future.


Woodcock, John

What recent discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on ensuring broadband roll-out in rural areas.


Amess, David Anthony Andrew

This is a lot of money that we have given to local authorities to administer, and we need to know how much leeway they have in terms of discretion.


Villiers, Theresa Anne

We all now need to engage intensively in the talks in the days ahead, and I commend this statement to the House.


McConnell, Jack Wilson

Surely we would not tolerate that in a situation which might separate mothers and children if they were living in this country.


Tyler, Claire

This can cause delays of a number of weeks while professionals argue with each other about the most appropriate option.


Lefroy, Jeremy John Elton

That has been developed over the past few years, showing what can be done in the most incredibly difficult and challenging situations Goal 13 is on combating climate change and its impact.


Griffiths, Leslie John

I honestly see the strong points of academies, and I am pleased that they are part of the mix.


Ashworth, Jonathan Michael Graham

There are universities piloting projects, such as the University of Leicester rolling out LAMP—loop-mediated isothermal amplification —testing, so what discussions has the Secretary of State had with them?


Goodman, Helen Catherine

The overwhelmingly positive response that I have had from colleagues across all parties demonstrates that this is a national problem.


Jenrick, Robert Edward

We will be reviewing the implementation of the Act, including resourcing and how it is working in practice.


Tolhurst, Kelly Jane

However, we should continue to work with our international partners A number of noble Lords referred to the importance of co-operation with the EU and EMA.


McIntosh, Anne

There is a special case to be made for tenant farmers, and indeed those graziers with rights in perpetuity who farm on common land.


Cooper, Rosemary Elizabeth

So will the Minister commit to providing the full funding for 2021-22, and for future years, to sustain these additional officers?


Bates, Michael

Exports are at near-record levels and have risen more than 50% since 2010.


Jones, Darren Paul

I am not sure what briefings Government Members are reading, but all the ones I have read have made it clear that the message from this Budget is dire.


Ul-Ghani, Nusrat Munir

Almost 70 years later, India and Pakistan have evolved but Kashmir is still a region beset by political disagreement, violence, and human rights violations.


Falconer, Charles

First, there is not a sliver of evidence that the European Union is not acting in good faith.


Jones, Andrew Hanson

The first is ensuring that the UK will have world-leading prudential standards, and that those will be overseen by regulators with the powers they need.


Bourne, Nicholas

I urged the parties to continue focusing their efforts on this, with the full support of the United Kingdom Government and, as appropriate, the Irish Government.


Skinner, Dennis Edward

The Minister has said that, far from being released, Mr Aamer is only under review.

To the north, there is a lovely sea coast, which has an important fishing industry.


Bates, Michael

Hayter, Dianne

My Lords, while thanking the Minister for opening the debate, we concur totally with the regret expressed by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Judge.


Gill, Preet Kaur

Is the Minister shamed by the effects of his Government’s policy?


Jenrick, Robert Edward

Many of the individuals will have been offered accommodation, but will not have chosen to accept it for a wide range of reasons


Tami, Mark Richard

Gentleman’s party was strongly opposed to devolution at that time, but it has had a bit of a turn of face, and is now promoting it.


Paddick, Brian

However, if the Government, the Home Office and others are content for the intelligence and security services to jump through that particular hoop, who am I to argue?


Freud, David

Under the last Labour Government, the number of social and affordable rented houses fell by 420,000.


Field, Mark Christopher

I think that that applies to much of London, but also beyond the capital.


Merriman, Huw William

Lady is right to give credit to the parents, who are on an incredible journey and are struggling themselves.


Wood, Michael Jon

For too long, British beer and British pubs were seen purely as part of the problem, whereas there is now an increasing recognition of their economic input.


Greening, Justine

We need to recognise that the private sector can often deliver development in ways that Governments and donors cannot.


Spellar, John Francis

We had not just those who had worked in multinationals; there were those who ran medium-sized businesses in the localities.


Soubry, Anna Mary

As we know, the Government’s own assessment shows that, whichever way you do Brexit, it will reduce our future prosperity and reduce jobs.


Eagle, Angela

I am sure it was just a coincidence that the name of the right hon.


Goldie, Annabel

I hope that does reassure my noble friend I can assure your Lordships that I share the aim of ensuring that students and prospective students can access all the information they need.

I urge him to withdraw his new clause, but I will give him one further crack at it.


Trees, Alexander

Collins, Raymond

Gavi and such global partnerships to ensure that we not only halt the progress of these diseases but eradicate them forever?


Laing, Eleanor Fulton

Member for Maldon has inadvertently said something in the House that has transpired to be inaccurate, he will take the opportunity to correct the record as soon as possible.


Lyttelton, Thomas

In all circumstances—and particularly when it is the UK that has initiated the change in the relationship with the EU—careful judgment has to be exercised in choosing negotiating positions


Penrose, John David

Before I discuss the amendments, let me say a few words about why the general principle, which underpins the Bill, sets out the entitlement to vote.


True, Nicholas Edward

My Lords, I spoke against these amendments in Committee, and will not repeat all my arguments.


Hands, Gregory William

I have already given repeatedly the reason why we are not publishing the reports on any incidents.


Vaz, Valerie Carol Marian

Hammond, Philip

But in 1946, in an extraordinary act of cultural vandalism, the then Labour Government authorised extensive opencast coal mining virtually up to the front door of this precious property.


Thomas, Celia Marjorie

Often getting rid of such so-called burdens on business puts a greater burden on disabled people, as the report makes clear.


Stephenson, Andrew George

As I said, I hope to shed some light on that in my next six-monthly report, but I am sure it will also be the focus of future debates


Smith, Julie

There is a link between climate issues, forced migration, development and, inevitably, the roles of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Ministry of Defence.


Soubry, Anna Mary

For centuries people have come to this country from other parts of the world because they want to build a better life for themselves and their children.

They are diversifying, and have to diversify, their funding, generating income streams and developing new ones.


Lucas, Caroline

I am grateful to my SNP colleagues for being here today and for being patient as we waited to get to this point.


Brine, Stephen Charles

It is time that he re-engaged with the Paris agenda, and dare I say that that would be a good subject for after-dinner conversation?


Russell-Moyle, Lloyd

I met some activists there who have experienced their friends being murdered and a clampdown on their ability to associate with one another.


Wallace, James

One final matter is the difficulty that can be experienced in relation to the recognition of protection measures within the United Kingdom.


Keen, Richard

In other words, it will level down the playing field as between those resident in the EU and those resident otherwise in a third-party country.

Neville-Rolfe, Lucy

Regarding the champion, the noble Lord, Lord Mendelsohn, made a number of helpful observations about how it might work in practice.


Braverman, Sue-Ellen Cassiana

Saving the best till last, perhaps I rise to speak in favour of amendment 400, to which I am proud to have put my name.


Brereton, Jack Edgar

The Bill aligns with the Government’s industrial strategy to help to rebalance the economy, driving prosperity right across the country.


Judge, Igor

That is the starting point I then listened to a number of arguments suggesting that the Government are entirely justified anyway because the EU has been acting in bad faith.


Philp, Chris Ian Brian Mynott

In terms of the future, clearly we are in the process of negotiation at the moment.


Cash, William Nigel Paul

Friends the Members for Vauxhall (Kate Hoey) and for Luton North (Kelvin Hopkins)—


Wright, Jeremy Paul

The job requires excellent legal judgment, the ability to lead a large organisation and the capacity to work with others in improving the criminal justice system as a whole.


Bew, Paul Anthony Elliott

I personally believe that Stormont will return within the year, but I am also pretty sure that the Minister will be back again soon asking for more time.


Cadbury, Ruth Margaret

This places it outside of the remit of the FCA as it is classed as a “commercial” loan.


Manningham-Buller, Elizabeth

First, technology races ahead and the intelligence capabilities that we have had in the past and until recently are being eroded, not increased, and that heightens the risk.


Argar, Edward John Comport

We therefore need to take further measures to protect the public and the NHS—as we have done throughout the pandemic—as we enter winter


Javid, Sajid

The vast majority of the 82 families have already accepted offers of permanent and temporary accommodation.


Chisholm, Caroline

I ask my noble friend the Minister whether these programmes are ongoing and, if not, whether they can be started again and rolled out countrywide?


Brinton, Sarah Virginia

There were certainly not enough accessible rooms for spectators in Glasgow—we booked three months ahead but still could not get a fully accessible hotel room.


Braverman, Sue-Ellen Cassiana

As the Prime Minister has said, that precious contract of trust between citizen and state, between voter and politician, has been stretched to breaking point over the past year.


Haskel, Simon

That is the kind of thing that the Bretton Woods agreement tried to eliminate, but was unsuccessful.

Bilimoria, Karan

In conclusion, virtually every speech today has made references to “when we leave the European Union” and “after Brexit”.


Alton, David

Increasingly, we might ask, “Who now remembers the Tibetans?”, and in the future will other perpetrators of genocide ask, “Who now remembers the Uighurs?”


Prior, David

My Lords, clearly, it is a matter principally for local authorities.


Ryan, Joan Marie

We in the House and in this country deserve full transparency on this deal.


Osborne, George Gideon Oliver

It would be paid by the young people who cannot get jobs—they cannot get jobs in countries where business taxes are too high and where enterprise is stifled.

As always, it is a load of fantasy numbers designed to create a press release.


Stevenson, Robert

—[Official Report, 22/11/94; col. 181.]


Davis, David Michael

We will not go through with a timetable change in December that is not deliverable.


Hands, Gregory William

Friend the Member for Wantage, who praised me for my language skills—so vielen Dank.

McDonald, Stuart Campbell

What recent assessment he has made of the implications for his departmental priorities of the UK leaving the EU.


Williams, Susan

The introduction of an appeals route will allow for greater levels of reassurance that justice has been done, as well as greater levels of transparency


Hogan-Howe, Bernard

The second point is that this is a people process as well as a hardware process.


Docherty-Hughes, Martin John

But this is not just about LGBT issues; there are also the amputation laws, which are directed at children, who could face amputation.


Callanan, Martin

Unlike Article 13, however, the amendment applies only to the formulation rather than the formulation and implementation of law and policy.


Garden, Susan

There is a lack of clarity over how this will operate, particularly given that the European Research Council and the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions are not open to third-country participation.


Cartlidge, James Roger

I should add as a caveat that while he talks about £2,615.76, Members—especially my hon.


Docherty, Leo

Our football club, Aldershot Town, is more than just a club.


Wigley, Dafydd Wynne

Secondly, the House of Commons just does not seem to have the time, capacity, or interest in giving secondary legislation the scrutiny it needs
