Hello there and welcome to Tuesday in Parliament.

:00:12.:00:15.

Coming up: The schools minister orders an investigation

:00:16.:00:17.

after the second leak of tests for primary school children.

:00:18.:00:23.

The government's urged to act quickly on its pledge to take child

:00:24.:00:26.

And the Home Secretary tells MPs why she thinks the UK

:00:27.:00:31.

As Home Secretary, from everything I have seen, in my experience, we are

:00:32.:00:43.

safer and more secure inside the European Union than outside.

:00:44.:00:46.

But first: Ministers have launched a hunt for a "rogue marker"

:00:47.:00:49.

who leaked a SATs test to a journalist.

:00:50.:00:51.

MPs were told that Key Stage Two English spelling and grammar test

:00:52.:00:53.

had been "mistakenly uploaded" onto a secure website.

:00:54.:00:55.

And an individual with access to the site then leaked the test

:00:56.:00:58.

The spelling, punctuation and grammar test was taken by

:00:59.:01:02.

600,000 children in their final year of state primary school

:01:03.:01:05.

It's the second time in three weeks a primary school exam has been

:01:06.:01:12.

The government was forced to scrap a test for half a million children

:01:13.:01:18.

aged six and seven after it emerged that it had been posted

:01:19.:01:21.

with practice materials three months early.

:01:22.:01:24.

Nick Gibb came to the Commons to reassure MPs.

:01:25.:01:31.

We have no evidence to suggest that any sensitive information entered

:01:32.:01:37.

the public domain before children started taking the test today. And

:01:38.:01:43.

the tests are going ahead as planned. My officials were

:01:44.:01:47.

monitoring social media and other platforms through the night and

:01:48.:01:51.

found no sign of materials being made available. He said he would ask

:01:52.:01:58.

the boss of person, who employ the markers, to investigate two issues.

:01:59.:02:04.

First, how did that come to be uploaded? It's clearly a mistake

:02:05.:02:13.

which not have been possible. Secondly, I ask that all information

:02:14.:02:17.

is interrogated so that the culprit who leaked this sensitive

:02:18.:02:18.

information be identified. Just three weeks ago,

:02:19.:02:20.

it was discovered that another of the tests had been published

:02:21.:02:22.

in advance as a practice paper on the Department's own website -

:02:23.:02:25.

and had to be withdrawn. To adapt Oscar Wilde, to lose one

:02:26.:02:38.

test may be regarded as a mistake, but to lose both looks like

:02:39.:02:43.

carelessness. You really could not make it up. This is a serious breach

:02:44.:02:49.

on top of a series of multiple failures. How on earth can parents

:02:50.:02:54.

have confidence in the assessment regime when the Department for

:02:55.:02:58.

Education has come lately lost control of the tests it is

:02:59.:03:05.

responsible for? It seems to me, having listened to the Minister and

:03:06.:03:10.

the statement about the U-turn on academies recently, that the

:03:11.:03:13.

Department for Education should be put in special measures. What

:03:14.:03:19.

confidence can we have, when the minister cannot even get the basics

:03:20.:03:23.

right? How can we have confidence that they will get the big issues

:03:24.:03:31.

right in education? Look, this process of testing 600,000 pupils is

:03:32.:03:36.

complex, as the Honourable lady will know. We use contractors and on this

:03:37.:03:43.

occasion a mistake was made in uploading the material to a secure

:03:44.:03:47.

website, we took action swiftly when we discovered the mistake, as we did

:03:48.:03:51.

in the spelling test was put on line three weeks ago. It is how you react

:03:52.:03:56.

to these issues that determines the confidence of a government. And we

:03:57.:04:05.

acted swiftly on both occasions. This parent has a child approaching

:04:06.:04:10.

both key stage one and Key stage two, and I find it outrageous that

:04:11.:04:15.

an individual has put my child's chances at risk by making this

:04:16.:04:19.

league. Does the Minister agree with me that it would be better for the

:04:20.:04:23.

opposition to keep that in mind rather than playing politics with

:04:24.:04:29.

children's test results? I do agree with my honourable friend. The whole

:04:30.:04:34.

system does depend on the integrity of professionals. We need a senior

:04:35.:04:39.

markers with access to the material weeks before it goes live. We need

:04:40.:04:45.

test developers with access to individual questions months

:04:46.:04:49.

beforehand. We test the tests with a large number of pupils before we are

:04:50.:04:55.

sure that they are of the right degree of demand. So a whole range

:04:56.:04:58.

of people have access to the material before it goes live. The

:04:59.:05:04.

Minister cannot deal with it, the Department and organise, and the

:05:05.:05:09.

schools do not understand. Does he agree that primary assessment in our

:05:10.:05:15.

schools is nothing short of shambolic? Yet again the

:05:16.:05:17.

professional judgment of professionals is ignored by

:05:18.:05:21.

politicians trying to make short-term gains. How does he reply?

:05:22.:05:27.

These tests were developed by educational professionals, a huge

:05:28.:05:32.

number of such professionals were involved in the development of these

:05:33.:05:36.

tests. A large number of professional educators, head

:05:37.:05:40.

teachers, experienced teachers, were involved in the review of the

:05:41.:05:45.

curriculum. These assessments are assessing the ability of schools to

:05:46.:05:49.

deliver the new curriculum. That new curriculum is more demanding. We do

:05:50.:05:53.

not avoid that point. Now to the Lords for the latest

:05:54.:05:55.

round of parliamentary ping pong. Peers were dealing with the last few

:05:56.:06:00.

amendments where they disagree The Lords reluctantly

:06:01.:06:02.

dropped their objections They then moved on to

:06:03.:06:05.

the government's housing bill. This amendment seeks to do two

:06:06.:06:21.

things. Firstly, it seeks to put beyond doubt that sufficient funding

:06:22.:06:26.

will be available to local authorities to deliver at least one

:06:27.:06:30.

new affordable homes for each higher value property sold. In London this

:06:31.:06:46.

would mean at least two for one. It gives the opportunity for social

:06:47.:06:49.

rented housing where a case was made to the Secretary of State to

:06:50.:06:54.

consider. I understand the reluctance some of this House have

:06:55.:06:57.

about pressing the issue again. I have thought long and hard about

:06:58.:07:02.

these issues and I would not put this forward unless I thought it was

:07:03.:07:07.

of such vital importance. But unless we get this replacement policy right

:07:08.:07:17.

now, funding and discretion, we will inevitably see fewer genuinely

:07:18.:07:20.

affordable homes available. There does come a point when you have to

:07:21.:07:26.

say that fighting back against the will of the elected House is not a

:07:27.:07:31.

profitable course to follow, either as a collective, or as individuals.

:07:32.:07:38.

The government is not able to produce figures defining the meaning

:07:39.:07:41.

of high-value, the number of properties affected, locally or

:07:42.:07:47.

nationally, the likely rate of vacancies, the cost of administering

:07:48.:07:52.

the scheme, how much they will require councils to pay upfront

:07:53.:07:55.

annually, since the bill envisages such payments will be required, and

:07:56.:07:59.

whether or not sales are affected. To misquote Groucho Marx, a child of

:08:00.:08:07.

five could understand the impact of this policy, bring me a child of

:08:08.:08:12.

five. Or, perhaps in these days, a special adviser. Our manifesto made

:08:13.:08:18.

it clear that we wanted to increase home ownership and drive up the

:08:19.:08:23.

availability of new homes, this enables us to deliver both of these

:08:24.:08:27.

commitments, the receipt will be used to give up to 1.3 million

:08:28.:08:32.

housing association tenants the same level of right to buy discount as is

:08:33.:08:39.

enjoyed by local authority tenants for decades. And, as is equally

:08:40.:08:44.

important, it will provide receipts that local authorities who enter

:08:45.:08:47.

into agreements with us can use to provide affordable homes. I urge the

:08:48.:08:51.

House Other Place, recognising that this

:08:52.:08:59.

is a manifesto commitment, and that is the comments have offered

:09:00.:09:02.

financial privilege as a reason for rejecting our amendments, we should

:09:03.:09:07.

be wary of proposing an alternative which would invite the same

:09:08.:09:12.

response. I urge the noble Lords to accept the Commons reasoning and not

:09:13.:09:13.

support this amendment. But peers rejected those appeals -

:09:14.:09:16.

backing Lord Kerslake's amendment and sending the bill back

:09:17.:09:18.

to the Commons again. You are watching Tuesday in

:09:19.:09:25.

Parliament. Everyone wants a negotiated outcome

:09:26.:09:31.

to the junior doctors' dispute, the Health Secretary

:09:32.:09:33.

has told the Commons. Jeremy Hunt insisted the proposed

:09:34.:09:34.

contract was a good deal, and restated his commitment

:09:35.:09:38.

to a seven-day-a-week NHS. But the SNP argued the contract

:09:39.:09:42.

would lead to over-work. Talks between the British Medical

:09:43.:09:46.

Association and the Department of Health began again

:09:47.:09:49.

on Monday night All of us on this side of the House

:09:50.:09:54.

welcome the resumption of talks It's in nobody's interest, not

:09:55.:09:57.

the Government, not junior doctors, certainly not patients, for this

:09:58.:10:06.

dispute to drag on any longer. Can I implore the

:10:07.:10:11.

Health Secretary to do all he can to find a reasonable

:10:12.:10:14.

compromise this week which will keep doctors in the NHS and which will

:10:15.:10:20.

ensure we have a motivated, well trained and fairly rewarded

:10:21.:10:26.

workforce to continue delivering the excellent care

:10:27.:10:31.

we all want to see? Well, can I thank her for

:10:32.:10:37.

her very reasonable tone. Absolutely, I give

:10:38.:10:39.

her that assurance. We have always wanted a negotiated

:10:40.:10:42.

outcome to this dispute. That's why we paused the

:10:43.:10:47.

introduction of the new contracts last November in order to give

:10:48.:10:50.

a chance for talks to succeed. That's why this week,

:10:51.:10:54.

I have said, we will give a further pause

:10:55.:10:57.

in the introduction of the new contracts to see

:10:58.:10:59.

if we can get a negotiated outcome. In his recent letter to the head

:11:00.:11:03.

of the BMA, the Secretary of State offered

:11:04.:11:06.

to discuss improving work-life balance, especially

:11:07.:11:09.

for people, he said, with family

:11:10.:11:11.

responsibilities. How exactly does he plan to do

:11:12.:11:14.

this with a contract that the Government's own quality

:11:15.:11:17.

impact assessment has identified It is worth saying

:11:18.:11:21.

that the reason for this dispute is a manifesto commitment

:11:22.:11:30.

for a seven-day NHS that this Government has made

:11:31.:11:33.

to the people of England that the SNP has not made

:11:34.:11:36.

to the people of Scotland and the weekend effect is something

:11:37.:11:39.

that doesn't just happen in England. There are studies

:11:40.:11:43.

in Scotland as well. Will my right honourable friend bear

:11:44.:11:46.

in mind that Secretary of State Dean Rusk always used

:11:47.:11:48.

to say that jaw-jaw was better than war-war and how welcome

:11:49.:11:52.

it is that the negotiations have resumed with the BMA

:11:53.:11:56.

on this difficult problem? Will he also accept that everyone

:11:57.:12:00.

wishes goodwill to those talks so that we can get

:12:01.:12:05.

meaningful agreement that ensures a seven-day

:12:06.:12:08.

NHS for the benefit The claim is that the only issue

:12:09.:12:12.

is Saturday pay whereas what they tell me is they fear

:12:13.:12:17.

the danger of exhaustion. Has he seen the analysis

:12:18.:12:21.

by the Cass Business School suggesting it is impossible

:12:22.:12:24.

to avoid high levels of fatigue What I've actually done in

:12:25.:12:28.

the new contract is precisely tried to address those issues by reducing

:12:29.:12:36.

the maximum number of hours that junior doctors can be

:12:37.:12:41.

asked to work every week By stopping junior doctors

:12:42.:12:44.

being asked to work six nights in a row or seven

:12:45.:12:50.

long days in a row. These are steps forward

:12:51.:12:54.

and I think she might want to look at Channel 4

:12:55.:12:57.

fact check and other independent analysis

:12:58.:12:59.

of the safety aspects of the new contract

:13:00.:13:02.

which say that this contract I would just say that just stating

:13:03.:13:05.

it doesn't make it happen. They have looked at the rotas

:13:06.:13:10.

as put out as exemplars, and they were not able to avoid

:13:11.:13:14.

high levels of fatigue. I would think the Secretary of State

:13:15.:13:18.

for working so tirelessly to get the BMA back

:13:19.:13:21.

to the negotiation table. Can he confirm that Saturday

:13:22.:13:26.

pay for junior doctors will be 30% premium,

:13:27.:13:28.

which is above that for any of the hard-working midwives,

:13:29.:13:30.

nurses, firefighters, I thank her for her question

:13:31.:13:34.

and she makes a very, very important point that the proposals

:13:35.:13:42.

on the table with the new contract are incredibly generous compared

:13:43.:13:45.

to the other people working in hospitals and that is why

:13:46.:13:48.

it is important that we have some flexibility from the BMA on Saturday

:13:49.:13:53.

pay so that we can deliver this seven-day service

:13:54.:13:57.

that we all want. It is a very good deal

:13:58.:13:59.

for junior doctors. Meanwhile, a shadow health minister

:14:00.:14:01.

congratulated Jeremy Hunt. Can I start by congratulating

:14:02.:14:05.

the Secretary of State for becoming the longest serving

:14:06.:14:07.

Health Secretary in history? It's an important landmark, not

:14:08.:14:10.

least because it's the first target Can I start by thanking

:14:11.:14:13.

my honourable friend for his generous

:14:14.:14:19.

congratulations are earlier and indeed for making history himself

:14:20.:14:22.

by being the first opposition person I can remember actually

:14:23.:14:25.

congratulating Government The Government has played down fears

:14:26.:14:28.

that child refugees stranded in Europe may not be resettled

:14:29.:14:37.

in Britain for seven months. The UK is to accept a number

:14:38.:14:42.

of unaccompanied child refugees, but only those already in Europe

:14:43.:14:46.

before the 20th March. That decision followed pressure

:14:47.:14:50.

from MPs and Peers to accept a change to the Immigration Bill put

:14:51.:14:53.

forward by Labour's Lord Dubs, placing a duty on the Government

:14:54.:14:57.

to accept lone children into the UK. Answering an urgent question,

:14:58.:15:02.

the Immigration Minister We are already acting to implement

:15:03.:15:04.

the bill amendments. We have started discussions

:15:05.:15:10.

with local Government. We have begun work with European

:15:11.:15:12.

partners and NGOs We will bring refugee

:15:13.:15:16.

children to the UK And I am proud that

:15:17.:15:20.

the commitment of this country, this Government is to help those

:15:21.:15:26.

in need both within and outside Europe stands in comparison

:15:27.:15:29.

with any other country in the world. His comments came after

:15:30.:15:39.

Downing Street was reported to have said the first children would arrive

:15:40.:15:41.

by the end of this year. We hear the warm words and we hear

:15:42.:15:44.

the commitment, and yet at the same time, Number 10 seems

:15:45.:15:47.

to be dragging its feet. To have only the first children

:15:48.:15:49.

by the end of the year We know that Help Refugees,

:15:50.:15:52.

Citizens UK and the Red Cross already have details

:15:53.:15:56.

of children in Europe with family Unicef said yesterday,

:15:57.:15:59.

with the political will, these children could have

:16:00.:16:04.

their cases processed and be here in time, packing their pencil

:16:05.:16:08.

cases for the new school year So why will the Government

:16:09.:16:12.

not make a commitment to at least clear all of the family

:16:13.:16:16.

cases that they have in the system already by the time we get

:16:17.:16:19.

to the summer holidays? We do intend to make progress

:16:20.:16:22.

cheering the course of this year and therefore the first

:16:23.:16:30.

children will arrive before the end of this year but that

:16:31.:16:32.

does not mean... It will take seven months

:16:33.:16:34.

and I think she will recognise from everything that I have said both

:16:35.:16:37.

last night and also today, that we are quickly making progress

:16:38.:16:40.

to implement the provisions within the Dubs amendments

:16:41.:16:42.

in the immigration bill. Britain is being generous in its

:16:43.:16:48.

support for refugees both in the region and vulnerable people coming

:16:49.:16:52.

to this country but there is a big danger, because human

:16:53.:16:56.

traffickers are evil people who will exploit any opportunity

:16:57.:16:59.

for their vile trade, that the message will go out

:17:00.:17:03.

from these people, Britain is open now to child refugees,

:17:04.:17:05.

send us your children, Will the Minister give us

:17:06.:17:09.

a commitment today that the scheme will be properly funded

:17:10.:17:16.

and will he give us some idea of what he's going to do

:17:17.:17:19.

about funding the scheme, rather than just describing

:17:20.:17:22.

the present existing arrangements? What we need from the Minister today

:17:23.:17:24.

is not placatory words, we need a decisive action plan

:17:25.:17:27.

with a very clear timetable. We want to make progress quickly

:17:28.:17:32.

in the weeks and months ahead. On funding, these are issues

:17:33.:17:38.

that we are discussing He will be aware that

:17:39.:17:41.

unaccompanied asylum-seeking children are already funded

:17:42.:17:44.

when they arrive in the UK and that there are clear funding

:17:45.:17:49.

arrangements to local authorities. I think we need to be

:17:50.:17:52.

cognisant of that and we will be looking closely at how we

:17:53.:17:55.

implement consistent with a number Concerns over levels

:17:56.:17:58.

of immigration into the UK were raised in the Lords,

:17:59.:18:04.

where one former Cabinet minister asked if Labour was dedicated

:18:05.:18:08.

to an open door policy to let more The million or so refugees that

:18:09.:18:12.

Angela Merkel has accepted will soon have the right to come here

:18:13.:18:20.

and the Turks could be the next, adding to the overload

:18:21.:18:26.

on our hospitals, schools and houses, greatly

:18:27.:18:28.

to the detriment Is he also surprised

:18:29.:18:32.

that the effect of uncontrolled immigration from the EU

:18:33.:18:39.

on the stability of our nation and on

:18:40.:18:43.

the welfare of working people appears not to be of

:18:44.:18:48.

concern, with very few exceptions, Since 2010, reforms have cut abuse

:18:49.:18:52.

from the student and family visa systems and raised standards

:18:53.:18:58.

in the work routes. In addition, of course,

:18:59.:19:01.

our recent negotiations in Europe have brought to fruition

:19:02.:19:05.

the provision for a new settlement agreement on EU migrants with

the requirement for a seven-year The minister has told

:19:11.:19:13.

us how wonderful is the Government's investment

in public services, apparently to meet all the concerns

:19:22.:19:23.

of the noble Lord, Lord Vincent, but could he then

:19:24.:19:27.

explain why there is a shortage of primary school places,

:19:28.:19:30.

for example, in London? Why our health service in so many

:19:31.:19:33.

areas is in crisis, why there is a problem with social care

:19:34.:19:37.

beds becoming unviable? Why is all of that happening

:19:38.:19:42.

if the Government's policies towards the public services

:19:43.:19:44.

have been so benign? Can the noble Minister tell

:19:45.:19:48.

the House why the Government is not building more new hospitals,

:19:49.:19:51.

schools and housing, using the additional income

:19:52.:19:54.

the Government is receiving from foreign workers who are paying

:19:55.:19:57.

significant sums in Very considerable sums

:19:58.:20:00.

are being expended in these areas and indeed we expect

:20:01.:20:05.

to deliver 600,000 new school places I would like to remind the House

:20:06.:20:09.

that the National Health would not run if it weren't for people

in establishing a bipartisan policy towards reducing immigration to tens

of thousands a year, or is the opposition

:20:32.:20:38.

dedicated to an open door, migrants in with no idea of

:20:39.:20:41.

how we shall pay not just for the schools and the hospitals

but the roads, the water works, the power stations

:20:50.:20:52.

and everything else? Whose side does my noble friend

:20:53.:20:55.

think the opposition are on? The British people

:20:56.:21:00.

or the foreigners? I believe that all members of this

:21:01.:21:03.

House would recognise the importance of a controlled migration system

:21:04.:21:16.

that brings us the best and is the The Home Secretary,

:21:17.:21:22.

Theresa May, appeared in front of the committee of MPs that

:21:23.:21:26.

scrutinises her department. It was taking evidence

:21:27.:21:30.

from her ahead of June's referendum Mrs May made a speech in April

:21:31.:21:32.

saying the UK should remain in. The committee chairman began

:21:33.:21:38.

by asking about the deportation The Prime Minister was quite

:21:39.:21:41.

critical of the Home Office last week at the liaison committee as far

:21:42.:21:48.

as foreign national prisoners are concerned because there are 4217 EU

:21:49.:21:51.

nationals in our prisons who should not really be there, they should be

:21:52.:21:56.

back in their own countries, Just to refresh your

:21:57.:21:59.

memory, he said that the Government should

:22:00.:22:04.

have done better. Now, in making the argument

:22:05.:22:06.

for staying in the EU, surely a powerful point must be because we

:22:07.:22:10.

are in the EU, we can send back their nationals after they finish

:22:11.:22:15.

their sentences and I know that you have been very strong

:22:16.:22:20.

in all the meetings at the EU summits trying to get these

:22:21.:22:25.

countries to take their foreign

:22:26.:22:27.

nationals back. Now the Prime Minister has said

:22:28.:22:29.

you should have done better. What more can we do if we stay

:22:30.:22:32.

in the EU to persuade Poland and Ireland and all these

:22:33.:22:35.

other countries Well, first of all, chairman,

:22:36.:22:38.

I believe that the Prime Minister's response on foreign

:22:39.:22:44.

national prisoners was in response to a question as you

:22:45.:22:47.

asked him on this issue. I know this has been a matter

:22:48.:22:49.

of interest to you I think what he said was that

:22:50.:22:52.

in some cases I can't remember exactly

:22:53.:22:55.

the phrase he used... He also said that it was

:22:56.:22:58.

incredibly difficult in some cases to do this and for a whole variety

:22:59.:23:04.

of reasons and he also, I think, made clear that the National

:23:05.:23:10.

Security Council actually looks at this issue on a six monthly basis

:23:11.:23:13.

and one of the things that the Prime Minister has been very keen to do

:23:14.:23:16.

is to ensure that this is a question that is taken across Government

:23:17.:23:20.

and isn't simply a matter of one department lobbying in order to

:23:21.:23:25.

improve the way we do this I think there are advantages

:23:26.:23:30.

obviously to being within It's not just about

:23:31.:23:34.

the possible return of foreign national offenders after they have

:23:35.:23:38.

completed their sentences, but it's also starting to now

:23:39.:23:40.

operate, the prisoner transfer framework and the prisoner transfer

:23:41.:23:48.

agreements that we have people to ensure that they can

:23:49.:23:51.

complete their sentences. But it has clearly not worked

:23:52.:23:56.

in the last six years. If we come out, will it be more

:23:57.:23:59.

difficult to persuade EU partners If we are making the case to stay

:24:00.:24:04.

in, as you and I are, and this committee

:24:05.:24:09.

is not having an inquiry into this because we will probably

:24:10.:24:11.

not agree a report, But one of the positive arguments

:24:12.:24:14.

for staying in is to say that if we stay in,

:24:15.:24:18.

you can go to the Polish home affairs minister

:24:19.:24:21.

and say, well, we've got a thousand

:24:22.:24:23.

Poles in our prisons. Well, one of the reasons why it

:24:24.:24:26.

hasn't happened is because the prisoner transfer framework

:24:27.:24:35.

hasn't been fully put into place That is in process at the moment

:24:36.:24:38.

but the fundamental point that you are making I think

:24:39.:24:45.

is a right one which is that if you are part of the

:24:46.:24:48.

European Union, dealing directly with people,

:24:49.:24:50.

operating within these frameworks, then it is easier, I believe,

:24:51.:24:53.

being Home Secretary from everything I've seen from my experience,

:24:54.:24:57.

that we are safer and more secure
