:01:36. > :01:39.Monday 16th November. I should add that hearing that need we are
:01:40. > :01:44.expecting a visit from the Indian PM to this house and I hope those
:01:45. > :01:52.colleagues who are around and able to be soap will be part of that
:01:53. > :01:58.visit. Mr Chris Bryant. Yesterday set latter admitted the award of the
:01:59. > :02:02.World Cup to Russia had been decided long before England had in its bed
:02:03. > :02:08.and yesterday the select committee will World Cup sponsors on that
:02:09. > :02:15.complicity in blatter's kleptocratic rule. Can we have a debate on the
:02:16. > :02:23.sink of corruption that is a fact? British taxpayers and football fans
:02:24. > :02:32.have been diddled out of millions. - Fifa. Talking of stitch up jobs, can
:02:33. > :02:36.these eco-explain something he said yesterday, the review from the
:02:37. > :02:40.second Baron of Strathclyde into the privileges of we the Commons, the
:02:41. > :02:44.reader club members that is absolutely essential we do not rush
:02:45. > :02:49.into this and for that matter we should not rush headlong into
:02:50. > :02:53.change. Lord Strathclyde, unfortunately, undermine the leader
:02:54. > :02:57.of the house by telling the world that one yesterday all of this could
:02:58. > :03:02.be done and dusted white Christmas. How can this be right? If the risen
:03:03. > :03:07.issue shouldn't this house a debasing it? It is not a review at
:03:08. > :03:14.all, it is a Fifa style stitch up. I am not sure the government has got
:03:15. > :03:18.over its tantrum of losing in the Lord's on Monday. He has said
:03:19. > :03:22.several times now he will make substantial changes to his plan in
:03:23. > :03:27.the Autumn Statement on November 25. The reader will know the Autumn
:03:28. > :03:32.Statement is precisely that, a statement and no more, it does not
:03:33. > :03:36.actually do anything legislatively. I asked the reader again, will he
:03:37. > :03:42.allow a three-day debate on the effects of the Autumn Statement this
:03:43. > :03:49.year? On Tuesday the chairman of the National Cleese chief counsel and
:03:50. > :03:52.the Deputy Commissioner of the Met police said if the Home Secretary or
:03:53. > :03:57.Chancellor of the Exchequer get their way with the police budget it
:03:58. > :04:03.will be the end of the year of bobbies on the beat. Is that
:04:04. > :04:06.something to be proud of? Officers have already gone and it looks
:04:07. > :04:11.likely more than 20,000 more officers will be lost by the end of
:04:12. > :04:16.this Parliament. We should be devoting our opposition day next
:04:17. > :04:22.week to this. Can the Home Secretary herself answered this debate so we
:04:23. > :04:26.can take her to task? Can we have a debate on the ministerial code of
:04:27. > :04:31.conduct? Deviously this has made clear that there was an overarching
:04:32. > :04:35.duty on ministers to comply with law including international law and
:04:36. > :04:41.treaty obligations. Last week it was revealed that the GM has insisted it
:04:42. > :04:46.should be ditched. The former Attorney General and conservative
:04:47. > :04:50.Attorney General says it is impossible to understand how this
:04:51. > :04:53.change has been carried out and cover was broken as the head of the
:04:54. > :05:00.legal service accused number ten of legal service accused number ten of
:05:01. > :05:03.contempt for international law. Surely to goodness a minister's word
:05:04. > :05:08.is still his wand when he signs a duty. Does he still crosses fingers
:05:09. > :05:15.behind his back when he signs treaties? Why on earth was the Ford
:05:16. > :05:21.of conduct issued any ministerial statement to the Lords and still not
:05:22. > :05:26.to the House of Commons? Mr Speaker, many parts of this country as many
:05:27. > :05:31.members have said still have terrible mobile telephone coverage.
:05:32. > :05:33.Last year the government had to withdraw its hourly drafted
:05:34. > :05:38.telecommunications code which was intended to deal with these spots
:05:39. > :05:45.around the country. He promised to bring any new electronic code as a
:05:46. > :05:48.matter of urgency but they've is still no sign of it so can the
:05:49. > :05:54.reader tell us when this will appear? Mobile phone coverage is
:05:55. > :06:00.every bit as much a public utility as water and electricity so will be
:06:01. > :06:04.government get a move on? Mr Speaker I confess I am worried about the
:06:05. > :06:08.state of health of the Chancellor, he looked really appeal earlier this
:06:09. > :06:14.year and I thought. He has, did I see it, something of the night about
:06:15. > :06:19.him. With Halloween upon him can the reader as sure as he will be staying
:06:20. > :06:26.at home on Saturday night when it is dark. It is one thing to scream
:06:27. > :06:30.along with order but quite another to encounter the Chancellor in a
:06:31. > :06:36.dark alley and his form of trick or treat is to suck family finances
:06:37. > :06:43.dry. Talking of Halloween, in Scotland it is the time for guising
:06:44. > :06:46.when people go around in fancy dress but has the member for South
:06:47. > :06:52.Cambridgeshire will expose the fact that however hard the PM has tried
:06:53. > :06:59.to dress the Tory party up, hugging the gays and marrying huskies,
:07:00. > :07:05.conservatism is dead, all that is left is a fake skeleton costume. We
:07:06. > :07:08.should be debating a motion next Thursday on the dog meat trade, I
:07:09. > :07:12.wondered whether this was the debate of the dogs wrecked first the
:07:13. > :07:17.Chancellor has made of the tax credit fiasco but today is award the
:07:18. > :07:23.award the Westminster dog of the year. I wish my deputy's badly
:07:24. > :07:28.behaved Rottweilers well in the competition but I gather that the
:07:29. > :07:35.member for helmet and Rockwell has two dogs called Boris and Maggie. A
:07:36. > :07:42.found bodices behaviour improved significantly when he was castrated.
:07:43. > :07:44.Well this advice be passed on to the Chancellor, Home Secretary and other
:07:45. > :07:54.candidates for the Conservative Party leadership? Leader of the
:07:55. > :07:58.house, Mr Chris Grayling. Can I start by delivering some good news
:07:59. > :08:03.to my honourable friend the member for Kettering who sadly is not in
:08:04. > :08:07.his ways today. I shall also informed the house that you, after
:08:08. > :08:12.receiving positive feedback, have authorised that the new alphabetical
:08:13. > :08:22.meetings will be kept in place for the rest of Parliament. The new warm
:08:23. > :08:29.relationship that exists between the Fs and Gs is getting on well. In all
:08:30. > :08:34.the old terms it has worked well and we will be continuing it. Can I
:08:35. > :08:42.associate myself with the remarks of the honourable gentleman about Fifa?
:08:43. > :08:44.He works hard on the brief and I am reliably informed he was
:08:45. > :08:49.disappointed to move away from that. He knows very well how
:08:50. > :08:54.shocking the developed and sat Fifa have been. It is no excuse
:08:55. > :08:58.whatsoever for what has taken place. I would commend all of those who
:08:59. > :09:03.have been involved in pursuing the investigation to the stage we have
:09:04. > :09:10.reached no. It does look likely that prosecutions will fall and rightly
:09:11. > :09:14.so. It is of absolute importance in a game that is seen around the world
:09:15. > :09:19.as a region for young people that it should be absolutely clean. Those
:09:20. > :09:21.who have left it in a position with it has been this marched by
:09:22. > :09:25.corruption should be dealt with by the full force of the law and
:09:26. > :09:33.changes essential, I completely agree with him on that.
:09:34. > :09:39.Regarding the Strathclyde review into the House of Lords, there will
:09:40. > :09:44.be a full statement about the terms of reference when he is ready to
:09:45. > :09:49.publish those details, which is right and proper. He will take the
:09:50. > :09:55.time necessary, given the scope of the work he intends to do, and he
:09:56. > :10:00.will make clear how that will work. On the tax credits point, I will
:10:01. > :10:03.remind the honourable gentleman that we will be using for the Autumn
:10:04. > :10:06.Statement the same procedure is that operated in 13 years of Labour
:10:07. > :10:11.Government. Now they are in opposition they seem to want to
:10:12. > :10:15.change how the House works. We will continue to operate the way we have,
:10:16. > :10:18.debating issues fully. We have already had extensive debates on the
:10:19. > :10:28.tax credits issue, and no doubt we will have more. Under Conservative
:10:29. > :10:32.leadership of government and Coalition, and under this
:10:33. > :10:41.government, crime has fallen. We have had to take some difficult
:10:42. > :10:50.decisions, and they are challenges facing the police. He made a point
:10:51. > :10:55.about the ministerial code. I would simply say that under the new
:10:56. > :11:07.ministerial code, listers are still required to uphold the law. We would
:11:08. > :11:14.expect that. -- ministers are still required. We spoke about the
:11:15. > :11:18.Department of Culture, Media and Sport. Just to remind them that the
:11:19. > :11:24.former Secretary of State, now the Business Secretary, secured a deal
:11:25. > :11:36.to secure five Ilion pounds of investment in mobile telephony. We
:11:37. > :11:46.do not just a published. -- published documents, we do things.
:11:47. > :11:47.We have watched with interest the pale faces on the side of the House,
:11:48. > :11:52.the huddles of pallid people asking the huddles of pallid people asking
:11:53. > :11:59.how we get ourselves out of this mess. My worry is for the health of
:12:00. > :12:04.him and his colleagues, not for the Chancellor, who I can assure him is
:12:05. > :12:07.in great form. He made reference to the point that this weekend as
:12:08. > :12:16.Halloween. My sympathies today are with the children of the Rhondda. It
:12:17. > :12:17.is my hope that he is not planning to go trick or treating, because can
:12:18. > :12:24.you imagine the horror of a small you imagine the horror of a small
:12:25. > :12:42.child seeing the honourable child seeing the honourable

:13:21. > :13:27.work he is doing. Given the obvious work he is doing. Given the obvious
:13:28. > :13:28.urgency of this, I will make a point of ensuring this is communicated
:13:29. > :13:32.immediately after the session to my immediately after the session to my
:13:33. > :13:42.I will ask them to ensure that they I will ask them to ensure that they
:13:43. > :13:45.respond as quickly as possible. Can I thank the Leader of the House
:13:46. > :13:54.announcing business for next week. announcing business for next week.
:13:55. > :14:03.Our thoughts are very much this morning with the school community

:14:11. > :14:10.of my honourable friends was a pupil at this school. This was an

:14:21. > :14:26.They have released their not so secret weapon, codenamed big boy, to
:14:27. > :14:30.go to the House and sort them out. He is going down there to emasculate
:14:31. > :14:36.the House of Lords and ensure that they never do anything like this
:14:37. > :14:42.again. Of course they can. The House of Lords is without a shred of
:14:43. > :14:45.democratic legitimacy, it represents absolutely no one. I am certain the
:14:46. > :14:50.Tories will get their way when it comes to these issues. But what I am
:14:51. > :14:54.sensing is a real desire amongst the Conservative benches to deal
:14:55. > :15:00.decisively with the House of Lords. I get the sense they have had enough
:15:01. > :15:05.of that unelected chamber with the Lords, baronets, earls, dancing
:15:06. > :15:10.around like Santa Claus, having a stake in this democracy. I appeal to
:15:11. > :15:18.the Conservative members to join us to ensure that we deal decisively.
:15:19. > :15:27.Let us have a proper enquiry into the role of that place. We get the
:15:28. > :15:30.Scotland Bill back in a couple of weeks, and there is only one day set
:15:31. > :15:38.aside for the remaining stages and third reading. We had four days were
:15:39. > :15:43.not one amendment was made, even though they were backed by every
:15:44. > :15:47.member of Parliament who represented a Scottish constituency. The
:15:48. > :15:50.Secretary of State said he would spend the summer reflecting, and
:15:51. > :15:57.said he would try to bring back amendments which kept the Scotland
:15:58. > :15:59.Bill in line with what was promised in the Smith Commission. Surely we
:16:00. > :16:04.need more than one day looking at this. This is the first is in his
:16:05. > :16:07.questions I have had an opportunity to speak of a second-class member of
:16:08. > :16:20.this House. Groaning I am certain the Leader of the House
:16:21. > :16:29.has recognised the sheer anger put forward in Scotland about
:16:30. > :16:36.Scotland's member of -- members of Parliament being told not to leave
:16:37. > :16:39.the union, but as soon as we get here things change. Is this going to
:16:40. > :16:46.be subject to an English veto, and if it is, how will it work out? We
:16:47. > :16:53.are grateful to you, Mr Speaker, for backing the call we have been making
:16:54. > :17:00.about getting rid of the ridiculous conference recess. It is ridiculous
:17:01. > :17:03.that we abandon business for participating in a voluntary
:17:04. > :17:10.organisations association. I would ask you to use your considerable
:17:11. > :17:15.authority to make sure the summer recess covers all parts of the UK,
:17:16. > :17:19.there school holidays. A new there school holidays. A new
:17:20. > :17:24.tradition has been taken up by the children of Scotland, where the goal
:17:25. > :17:28.they are so unusual Andre. The only they are so unusual Andre. The only
:17:29. > :17:29.problem is when they turn up to the door, there is real fear that this
:17:30. > :17:39.people who open the doors that they people who open the doors that they
:17:40. > :17:46.will get any treats because they are Conservatives. I have a confession
:17:47. > :17:54.to make. Until last week I had not previously heard any of the work of
:17:55. > :18:00.that distinguished band MP four, of which he is a great part. I did not
:18:01. > :18:08.realise what great showman he was. He does bring a bit of that showbiz
:18:09. > :18:15.to this House. A little bit of fake outrage on some theatre. He showed a
:18:16. > :18:18.chink a couple of weeks ago when he said nice things about the House of
:18:19. > :18:28.form. I know where he is coming form. I know where he is coming
:18:29. > :18:29.from, I am confident that we will be able to find a resolution under the
:18:30. > :18:33.guidance of Lord Strathclyde. The guidance of Lord Strathclyde. The
:18:34. > :18:38.fake outrage has been there on the Scotland Bill as well. The Law
:18:39. > :18:44.Society of Scotland emphasised we are delivering what we committed to.
:18:45. > :18:48.I would not expect a group of politicians whose mission is to
:18:49. > :18:53.secure independence for Scotland to do anything else but have fake
:18:54. > :19:00.outrage. We are delivering what we promised. If ever there was an
:19:01. > :19:07.example of that little bit of showbiz that he brings, it is over
:19:08. > :19:10.the issue of English votes. He describes himself as a second-class
:19:11. > :19:16.citizen, which he will never be anywhere. Having listened to all of
:19:17. > :19:20.his arguments, I would remind them about what he said on the 14th of
:19:21. > :19:25.October last year, which is I sympathise totally with English
:19:26. > :19:31.members. Of course they should have English votes for English laws. They
:19:32. > :19:37.English-only legislation. I admire English-only legislation. I admire
:19:38. > :19:44.him for this, but on occasion he has a habit of delivering slightly mixed
:19:45. > :19:47.messages. Regarding Conservatives in Scotland, I think people have the
:19:48. > :19:55.reason to be skewered this autumn, come Halloween and the weeks ahead,
:19:56. > :19:58.-- to be frightened. Are the Labour Party. They have been done over by
:19:59. > :20:07.the SNP colleagues, and we intend to do them over as well. The nice
:20:08. > :20:12.quality standard of autism calls for waiting times between referral and
:20:13. > :20:19.initial appointment for assessment to be no longer than three months.
:20:20. > :20:24.not being met. Could we have a not being met. Could we have a
:20:25. > :20:25.debate on research from the National Autistic Society, which has shown
:20:26. > :20:32.that on average the wait for that on average the wait for
:20:33. > :20:43.children is 3.5 years and adults five years from the initial time of

:23:40. > :23:43.backbench business committee and early indication if there is any
:23:44. > :23:49.possibility for time in the week beginning 16th November? I cannot
:23:50. > :23:53.give that undertaking, but my expectation is there will be time. I
:23:54. > :24:01.have no reason to believe it will not be available. He is picking
:24:02. > :24:04.interesting subject for debate which will command great attention, and I
:24:05. > :24:13.think particularly the debate on dog meat happening as it is. It is a
:24:14. > :24:18.sign of how much concerned there is across the House about the welfare
:24:19. > :24:19.of dogs. Also the fact this is a trade that most people in this
:24:20. > :24:31.country do not support at all. Steve eco. Communications this week
:24:32. > :24:34.seemed to suggest some members of the public might have even confused

:24:50. > :25:00.occasional misrepresentation of business of this House? - voted on.
:25:01. > :25:05.There is no clarification of the nature of a division on the website.
:25:06. > :25:11.I have listened to colleagues and do intend to write to that website
:25:12. > :25:17.asking them to write some degree of explanation on issues of this kind.
:25:18. > :25:20.Given this was a debate about and civil, not substance, it is not
:25:21. > :25:28.possible under the current treaty arrangements for this House to cut
:25:29. > :25:35.VAT to zero. That decision had to be taken in Brussels. There is strong
:25:36. > :25:38.interest in securing change. It is utterly unacceptable to have a
:25:39. > :25:44.situation where party groups are misrepresenting the vote as a 0 rate
:25:45. > :25:49.for tampons, it is completely unacceptable. There should be a 0
:25:50. > :26:02.rate for a product that is clearly not a luxury. The minister gave a
:26:03. > :26:14.commitment he would raise that has in Euro and he has done so. The
:26:15. > :26:21.Cannes of the House has promised to negotiate at European level to
:26:22. > :26:32.achieve a 0 rate of the 80 on women's products. This should go
:26:33. > :26:35.alongside the court demands in the forthcoming Wii negotiation.
:26:36. > :26:40.Women's rights are not a second-class issue, can he confirm
:26:41. > :26:46.that? Women's rights will never be a second-class issue. The party in

:26:53. > :26:59.Since the debate on Tuesday we have already seen the vice chairman of
:27:00. > :27:04.the mission say this is an issue that are willing to consider. We are
:27:05. > :27:07.taking a step in the right direction. If a minister gives a
:27:08. > :27:13.commitment to this has the will do so, they will find it through.

:27:35. > :27:38.want to do it. In this House can be debate this so there is a clear
:27:39. > :27:42.message going out to district and unity is for how they can get
:27:43. > :27:47.involved in maximising their return for taxpayers? This is what the
:27:48. > :27:50.government is seeking to do and there will be no one size fits all
:27:51. > :27:54.for different settlements in different parts of the country, it
:27:55. > :28:01.depends on the circumstances and different geography and nature of
:28:02. > :28:05.the economy. I would encourage my honourable men to make this point to
:28:06. > :28:09.other ministers. It is a great opportunity for counties like
:28:10. > :28:11.Somerset to be involved in defamation to give them greater
:28:12. > :28:18.control over matters that affect their area. There is a real
:28:19. > :28:24.opportunity for local authorities and local communities. Given the
:28:25. > :28:29.difficult financial circumstances that the NHS finds itself in, is it
:28:30. > :28:38.not time for a debate on a national tariff for the treatment of IVF
:28:39. > :28:47.given that CCG 's are paying fees as varied as ?2500 to ?6,000 per cycle?
:28:48. > :28:51.We have a choice in the NHS, we can either devolved responsibilities to
:28:52. > :28:56.local lactation is keep everything at the centre. The moment we start
:28:57. > :29:03.to say we do not like different areas where different CCG 's make
:29:04. > :29:09.different decisions we start to be centralised again. I want decisions
:29:10. > :29:16.taken by local doctors. I would eat reluctant to reverse that. With my
:29:17. > :29:20.honourable friend consider having a debate on the future of the House of
:29:21. > :29:24.lords in the near future purely and simply because of the events of this
:29:25. > :29:28.week and also I have been doing some work and had a successful debate in
:29:29. > :29:33.West and start all on a particular oppose all that was met and welcomed
:29:34. > :29:39.on all sides of the House. Part Westminster Hall. I have no doubt be
:29:40. > :29:43.will have such a debate in future but can I encourage him to talk to
:29:44. > :29:49.Lord Strathclyde as well as he dubbed his review? The scope of the
:29:50. > :29:53.review will be out shortly but I suggest he takes any ideas for
:29:54. > :30:00.change to the noble lord who will wish to hear the views of people in
:30:01. > :30:04.this House? The approach of another Parliamentary recess and no
:30:05. > :30:09.indication whatsoever that the government intends to seek a mandate
:30:10. > :30:13.for military intervention in Syria. Isn't it he can play obviously there
:30:14. > :30:20.is no appetite across this chamber for a second goal through military
:30:21. > :30:23.venture. Can we look at the financial initiatives which might
:30:24. > :30:29.actually contribute to bringing peace and stability to that country?
:30:30. > :30:34.I would simply say to the right honourable gentleman, there will be
:30:35. > :30:37.no statement or debate about military intervention in Syria
:30:38. > :30:42.unless we have an intention to intervene voluntarily in Syria. The
:30:43. > :30:47.reason we do not have another statement about that is because no
:30:48. > :30:50.decision has been taken to intervene militarily in Syria and should that
:30:51. > :30:56.happen we will come to this House and discuss it fully. We have
:30:57. > :31:02.debated this extensively in we said weeks, the Foreign Secretary was
:31:03. > :31:06.before this House regularly. They will be plenty opportunities to
:31:07. > :31:11.debate what is an difficult situation, something we all of us
:31:12. > :31:15.wish to see the resolution but it is difficult to see a path to that
:31:16. > :31:21.resolution given how complex the situation is. I feel sure he reader
:31:22. > :31:32.of the House is a Downton at the fan and will have been as alarmed as me
:31:33. > :31:37.by what happened two weeks ago. Fortunately Lord Grantham is
:31:38. > :31:42.recovering well what it is pointed out that survival from upper
:31:43. > :31:46.gastrointestinal bleeding in this country lags behind those countries
:31:47. > :31:50.with which we could reasonably be compared. I wonder if we could have
:31:51. > :31:54.a debate on how we could configure endoscopy services in this country
:31:55. > :32:00.to bring us up among the best in Europe rather than the worst? She
:32:01. > :32:06.makes a very important point in his customer Blake light-hearted but
:32:07. > :32:13.also serious weight. I did not see the particular scene in Downton
:32:14. > :32:17.Abbey but I believe it was eye-catching to say the least
:32:18. > :32:22.comment he makes today I think are important ones and I will make sure
:32:23. > :32:29.they are forwarded to my colleagues in the Department of Health. My
:32:30. > :32:35.honourable friend from the front bench quite rightly lead on the
:32:36. > :32:39.issue of Fifa which he described as a sink of corruption but football is
:32:40. > :32:44.still the beautiful game and will be readers of the House on behalf of
:32:45. > :32:51.the government join me in paying tribute to a happy birthday to a
:32:52. > :32:56.former Derbyshire player who was the first black professional footballer
:32:57. > :33:03.in the world. We are very proud of him. Years and adopted son of
:33:04. > :33:13.Darlington and will be Cannes what the House join me with say happy
:33:14. > :33:15.birthday to him? The beautiful game is tarnished because of the penalty
:33:16. > :33:23.shoot out at all Trafford last night. I will join her and also pay
:33:24. > :33:26.tribute to all of the black leaders Huebner Pathfinders in the game and
:33:27. > :33:32.young people. I would like to see young people. I would like to see
:33:33. > :33:37.more black coaches in this country as well and I think that should be a
:33:38. > :33:42.minority for the game. I congratulate him for all he has done
:33:43. > :33:48.to contribute to the sport. My hard-working constituents who use
:33:49. > :33:53.Kingston and Surbiton station 's art forced to pay for zone six tickets
:33:54. > :33:58.when logic and fairness dictates they should be in zone five. 26
:33:59. > :34:03.stations are in zone five yet further from their London terminus.
:34:04. > :34:07.I know there are other reasoning campaigns in London yet houses
:34:08. > :34:14.certainly the most compelling. We make time for a debate on the zoning
:34:15. > :34:21.of stations in London? I would not go as far to say... He may be the
:34:22. > :34:24.most campaigning campaign in London but the campaign to get Epsom in
:34:25. > :34:30.zone six which is outside London may be a great important. There are
:34:31. > :34:36.zoning concerns and I have drawn this to the Department for Transport
:34:37. > :34:40.was my attention. I hope we can make regressing what we are doing and our
:34:41. > :34:48.constituents can see that. It is something I know people in still are
:34:49. > :34:53.looking forward to him succeeding in due course in. A cross-party support
:34:54. > :34:57.for a series of appeals. Open up family courts is something a
:34:58. > :35:02.succession of governments have promised to reform. Will there be a
:35:03. > :35:07.debate on how we can break open the cartels that surround the family
:35:08. > :35:12.courts system? Having been Secretary Of State for just as I am aware of
:35:13. > :35:17.this and sympathetic. We have two be careful there are some deeply
:35:18. > :35:20.distressing stories take place within the family courts and we must
:35:21. > :35:27.not open them up in a way that exposes family heartache to the
:35:28. > :35:33.tabloid media. He is right to say there is no reason for the agree of
:35:34. > :35:38.closed environment that exists around those family courts. I know
:35:39. > :35:42.this is a matter of concern to my colleague the Secretary Of State
:35:43. > :35:47.today. He will be here again on Tuesday and I would encourage him to
:35:48. > :35:53.re-raised this point. As my right honourable friend knows, I am
:35:54. > :35:58.running a campaign to save the hedgehog. Will my right honourable
:35:59. > :36:01.friend 's urge every member and right on rubble member to ensure
:36:02. > :36:09.there are safety measures in place within one fires next Thursday which
:36:10. > :36:12.is Guy Fawkes night? Thank you. I share his concern about the
:36:13. > :36:19.hedgehog. We have seen a really distressing fall in our hedgehog
:36:20. > :36:22.population in the last few decades. When I was a child you would find
:36:23. > :36:28.one in every garden, it will would feed them outside the door and it
:36:29. > :36:32.now does not happen to any degree like it used to. I would say to
:36:33. > :36:37.members on all sides of the House and anyone listening to this debate,
:36:38. > :36:42.bonfire night is a period of great danger to hedgehogs. If you drive
:36:43. > :36:48.around the country you will already see large piles of wood setup. It is
:36:49. > :36:53.all too common that a hedgehog finds refuge in those bonfires in the next
:36:54. > :36:57.few days. I would ask anyone to double-check before they like them
:36:58. > :37:03.to make sure there is not a hedgehog nesting inside, we cannot afford to
:37:04. > :37:08.lose any more. Young people are being killed on our streets.
:37:09. > :37:14.Tragically, in my constituency, there have been two youth deaths in
:37:15. > :37:20.as many months. This is not isolated. A boy stabbed to death in
:37:21. > :37:26.Aberdeen, shooting in Hackney, Alford, even machine-gun fire in
:37:27. > :37:29.Willesden. This had to stop. With the government continuing to cut
:37:30. > :37:34.front line services, young people are turning to crime and violence in
:37:35. > :37:39.bigger and bigger numbers. Is it not time to call an urgent debate
:37:40. > :37:45.looking at how all parties can work together to stop the rise of youth
:37:46. > :37:51.violence? Mr Speaker, firstly, let us be clear, knife crime is a blight
:37:52. > :37:57.on our society as our knife murders and I would endorse the comments
:37:58. > :38:01.made earlier about the tragic events in Aberdeen yesterday. They are
:38:02. > :38:05.fortunately rare in this country that makes them even more shocking
:38:06. > :38:09.when they do happen. I send my condolences and good wishes not only
:38:10. > :38:14.to the family but also those in the school for whom it would have aimed
:38:15. > :38:19.a deeply traumatic experience. On the streets of London any death
:38:20. > :38:22.through knife crime is too much, we have taken measures to toughen the
:38:23. > :38:27.law around carrying knives but it is important to support those
:38:28. > :38:34.organisations that try to take young people away from crime and carrying
:38:35. > :38:41.by a couple who set it up after the by a couple who set it up after the
:38:42. > :38:45.death of their son. The number of young people entering the criminal
:38:46. > :38:49.justice system for the first time is balding and has continued to fall
:38:50. > :38:53.for a number of years. That is a great step forward. The challenge of
:38:54. > :38:58.the offending is a good news story that fewer people are entering the
:38:59. > :39:06.justice system for the first time, long may that continue.
:39:07. > :39:08.British farmers who successfully applied for environmental
:39:09. > :39:12.improvement grants are being told improvement grants are being told
:39:13. > :39:23.that unless they put up all boards indicating the money came from the
:39:24. > :39:45.EU, they could lose part or all of the grant. Since the United Kingdom

:39:50. > :39:50.we will resist the desecration of we will resist the desecration of
:39:51. > :39:52.the British countryside by this propaganda? The countryside here is
:39:53. > :39:57.around the most -- among the most beautiful anywhere in the world. I
:39:58. > :40:00.have some sympathy with him, and I do not want to see anything
:40:01. > :40:07.detracting from its natural beauty full stop DEFRA questions are next
:40:08. > :40:15.Thursday, so he can put it to him directly. But keep the countryside

:40:23. > :40:27.situation of employees pensions and the Commonwealth War Graves
:40:28. > :40:35.Commission? He will not allow them to make a decision on closing...

:40:43. > :40:44.centenary commemorations at cutting committee staff pensions while the
:40:45. > :40:51.Director-General gets a 50% pay rise is utterly inappropriate? I
:40:52. > :40:57.understand the point he is making. A range of organisations have had to

:42:48. > :43:01.present the debate on policing, that they face the facts as we do in our

:49:06. > :49:13.The way we have it now, we are seeing innovations and long may that
:49:14. > :49:18.continue. Last week the Prime Minister said he did not want anyone

:49:23. > :49:27.the select committee that he planned to station job advisers and food
:49:28. > :49:34.banks. Is it right that extreme food poverty should become an accepted
:49:35. > :49:41.element of GWP National planning? Could we have a debate on this? She
:49:42. > :49:46.has got this plain wrong. If we have people who are in need of food
:49:47. > :49:50.banks, and I would remind her that we have a lower use of food banks in
:49:51. > :49:53.this country than in countries like Germany, so it is simply not true
:49:54. > :49:59.that you can lead it to government -- link it to public policy. That we
:50:00. > :50:07.should be helping these people into work and out of poverty. Making sure
:50:08. > :50:13.the Jobcentre is aware of what is going on in food banks seem
:50:14. > :50:19.sensible. It was an honour to present certificates recently to

:50:53. > :50:54.together people from different backgrounds in a way that can only
:50:55. > :51:02.be positive for the future. Long may it continue. The shadow leader of
:51:03. > :51:06.the House was right to raise the ministerial code. Could we have an
:51:07. > :51:17.urgent statement on who made the decision on changing the code, the
:51:18. > :51:21.reasons for doing so? The honour of the ministerial code is the Prime
:51:22. > :51:29.Minister, so there will be plenty opportunities for the honourable
:51:30. > :51:33.lady to ask. On page 29 of the day's order paper there is a motion
:51:34. > :51:39.about the UK dedication to the alimentary assembly of the Council
:51:40. > :51:44.of Europe. It goes on to page 30 because it is signed by 58 members
:51:45. > :51:46.of this House from all the major political parties. It commends the
:51:47. > :51:57.work of the honourable member work of the honourable member
:51:58. > :52:02.Christchurch, his years there, and I wonder if the Leader of the House
:52:03. > :52:08.would not only welcome this motion but put it on the order paper next
:52:09. > :52:11.week. There is not a business of the House committee, so we're relying on
:52:12. > :52:19.the government to bring this motion forward. Would he bring this
:52:20. > :52:27.forward? I have spotted the degree of support for this motion. I am
:52:28. > :52:30.aware of the desire to debate it. What I would say is that there is
:52:31. > :52:30.quite a lot of time allocated through backbench business committee
:52:31. > :52:35.to debate in this House. He will to debate in this House. He will
:52:36. > :52:36.return to the issue shortly, but return to the issue shortly, but
:52:37. > :52:43.there is a simple allocation there is a simple allocation
:52:44. > :52:52.available to debate this. The chair is sitting over there. The Minister
:52:53. > :52:57.may be aware of the case of 26 you will transmit and who been sentenced
:52:58. > :53:08.to serve her prison sentence in a men's prison. The good news I heard
:53:09. > :53:17.today is that she is to be transferred to a women's prison. --
:53:18. > :53:24.a 26-year-old trans-women. Decisions in detail of this tend to be out
:53:25. > :53:28.with the metal ministers, but the Ministry of Justice will always want
:53:29. > :53:32.decisions of this nature to be taken sensitively and carefully. There are
:53:33. > :53:34.questions for the House on Tuesday, and they will listen to her concerns
:53:35. > :53:51.then. Can we have a debate on how to then. Can we have a debate on how to
:53:52. > :53:55.complaints from constituents in the complaints from constituents in the
:53:56. > :54:11.past, and there is another report in past, and there is another report in

:55:50. > :55:55.The irony is that the person who said they regretted the Freedom of
:55:56. > :56:01.Information Act most was Jack Straw who introduced it and looked upon it
:56:02. > :56:03.as one of the things he got wrong. The Freedom of Information Act is
:56:04. > :56:07.something this government is committed to. We want to make sure
:56:08. > :56:13.it works fairly and cannot be misused but it is misused by people
:56:14. > :56:18.who use it as EV search tool to generate stories for the media. It
:56:19. > :56:24.is a legitimate tool for those who understand how this government has
:56:25. > :56:30.taken decisions. It is not the intention of this government to
:56:31. > :56:33.change that. I know from my family's on experience just how
:56:34. > :56:39.devastating pancreatic cancer can be and whether November being
:56:40. > :56:45.pancreatic awareness month can we see what is being done to help those
:56:46. > :56:49.suffering from this disease? My honourable friend makes an important
:56:50. > :56:53.point and of course all forms of cancer, particularly pancreatic
:56:54. > :56:56.cancer, are deeply distressing for the families of those involved and
:56:57. > :57:02.those who suffered from the different varieties of cancer. One
:57:03. > :57:05.of the things that is encouraging at the moment is that we really seemed
:57:06. > :57:11.to be making some significant steps forward in treatment and research
:57:12. > :57:14.for treatment in future. One of the things I am pleased we have done as
:57:15. > :57:20.the government is not withstanding the financial pressures we face. We
:57:21. > :57:23.have continued to keep up our budgets going into the search which
:57:24. > :57:29.open up a better future for those who are sufferers and I hope that
:57:30. > :57:33.what continues. Since the session started this morning welcome news
:57:34. > :57:40.has emerged from China that they are to end their one child policy. Will
:57:41. > :57:44.the leader of the house for a debate on the government's to child policy
:57:45. > :57:52.with particular reference to the Greek clause? The boot them please
:57:53. > :57:55.fill details and I am a wee of the issue she has raised and the fact
:57:56. > :58:04.she has continued to make this concern will be conveyed to my
:58:05. > :58:12.colleagues. -- rape clause. Anti-Muslim rape right --
:58:13. > :58:17.anti-Muslim hate crime will be recorded separately. Can we
:58:18. > :58:22.therefore have a debate on heat crime in all of its forms and what
:58:23. > :58:28.we can do to eradicate this from our society? Mr Speaker, heat crime in
:58:29. > :58:32.any form is unacceptable. I am very much aware that although we have
:58:33. > :58:37.seen he's beat of anti-Semitic attacks in recent months the also
:58:38. > :58:41.see in this country regularly attacks on mosques and Muslims. The
:58:42. > :58:46.steps the government are taking is right. We should not tolerate heat
:58:47. > :58:53.crime against any of our communities in this country. We should be dealt
:58:54. > :58:59.with with the full force of the law wherever that occurs. This House
:59:00. > :59:03.should remind us of obligations in that direction. Can we have the
:59:04. > :59:10.debate on defence attunement and buying British? Why are the three
:59:11. > :59:18.new royal navy ships and the 500 last armed vehicles from the army
:59:19. > :59:22.not been built with British Steel? On occasions when the Lizzie
:59:23. > :59:28.specialist metal requirement we have two source the specialist metal from
:59:29. > :59:34.wherever it comes from. 90s percent of the steel being put into
:59:35. > :59:37.Crossrail is coming from British sources. It is disappointing in
:59:38. > :59:42.Scotland the Scottish Government has not done the same. The steel going
:59:43. > :59:47.into our aircraft carriers is also British Steel. The question I would
:59:48. > :59:52.ask him, he talks about defence procurement and the question I would
:59:53. > :59:56.ask about defence procurement and British jobs, if he is so concerned
:59:57. > :00:03.about the use of British Steel and jobs in Britain, why does his party
:00:04. > :00:06.now support a policy that would scrap the plans for Trident
:00:07. > :00:13.submarines to be built in Barrow in Furness? When can we debate the
:00:14. > :00:19.convention that serving time ministers are not invited to give
:00:20. > :00:24.evidence to select committees? There is compelling evidence now that
:00:25. > :00:29.three prime ministers were unwittingly but directly involved in
:00:30. > :00:35.an enterprise that cost the taxpayers many millions of pounds.
:00:36. > :00:45.Isn't it important, too, that we understand why three prime ministers
:00:46. > :00:56.were infatuated by the delusional fraudsters of Kicks Company dinar
:00:57. > :01:06.two points to make. Everyone on both sides of the House are concerned
:01:07. > :01:20.about what happened with Kicks Company understanding what went
:01:21. > :01:29.wrong in that charity was not the fault of some people involved in it.
:01:30. > :01:36.In my view the Beagle he is looking for is already in existence. Three
:01:37. > :01:41.years ago the caravan manufacturers of Hull had to fight off the caravan
:01:42. > :01:46.tax that would like their industry. Now the government is buying steel
:01:47. > :01:51.from abroad and I wonder if it is time we had a debate about an
:01:52. > :01:57.industrial policy for our country and not every other country in the
:01:58. > :02:02.world? Let me tell her about industrial policy. The industrial
:02:03. > :02:07.policy which leads to the dramatic drop in level feel I boot in the
:02:08. > :02:12.UK, and industrial policy that leads to the near halving of manufacturing
:02:13. > :02:18.is a policy we had under the last Labour government. We have been
:02:19. > :02:21.working to restore manufacturing and steel development and production is
:02:22. > :02:27.now at the same level or slightly higher than when he took office.
:02:28. > :02:33.Just on occasions, they are the opposition and can ask questions
:02:34. > :02:37.without remembering there on record in government. When it came to
:02:38. > :02:45.manufacturing in this country they made a right royal mess up. Concern
:02:46. > :02:49.about the illegal wildlife trade is growing and the Duke of Cambridge
:02:50. > :02:54.spoke out about this last week. Responsibility in government lies
:02:55. > :02:58.between DEFRA, the Commonwealth and government office. Can we look at
:02:59. > :03:03.how we can better coordinate a UK Government response to end this vile
:03:04. > :03:09.trade? I wholeheartedly agree with him. To see a return to the poaching
:03:10. > :03:15.of elephants in southern Africa is something I find completely
:03:16. > :03:19.distressing. The threat facing the Rhino I find profoundly distressing.
:03:20. > :03:23.I would commend Prince Harry and Prince William for the work they
:03:24. > :03:28.have done on this over the years. I commend everyone in this House who
:03:29. > :03:35.works to work on this challenge. People should be able to CDs great
:03:36. > :03:43.animals in the wild and not look at on the history books about their
:03:44. > :03:47.death. The department that has the biggest role in all of this it is
:03:48. > :03:57.really ought Porto we do everything we can to stem what is a vile
:03:58. > :03:59.trade. -- see these great animals. Gentry and contractor is a
:04:00. > :04:05.debilitating disease of the hands caused by manual Labour. The
:04:06. > :04:13.industrial injuries advisory Council made recommendations to the DWP last
:04:14. > :04:17.year as to why they should make this a prescribed occupational disease
:04:18. > :04:22.yet there has not been any official announcement. With the leader of the
:04:23. > :04:25.house make a statement about why there has been such a delay which
:04:26. > :04:32.has impacted on many disabled people in the UK? She raises an important
:04:33. > :04:37.issue. I do not know the answer to his question but we will have the
:04:38. > :04:41.DWP minister is here on Monday and I will make sure they are briefed in
:04:42. > :04:46.advance of that so they can give the proper response if he raises it
:04:47. > :04:51.then. Point of order, Mr Alex Salmond. At the same time as
:04:52. > :04:56.business questions it was announced nicer John Chilcott why means of a
:04:57. > :05:01.letter to the tri- Minister that it would be a further nine months
:05:02. > :05:04.before the Iraq enquiry is to be published which will mean it is
:05:05. > :05:10.seven years since it was established and the full 13 years since the war
:05:11. > :05:21.was started. Would it not just be an order but a mark of respect to the
:05:22. > :05:26.179 families of dead servicemen at the government had come to the House
:05:27. > :05:31.to explore reasons of delay in the enquiry and the possible legal
:05:32. > :05:35.consequences that might fall on certain individuals if that
