:00:11. > :00:19.Order, order. Questions to the Secretary of State for Northern
:00:20. > :00:25.Ireland. Question number one. With permission, blasting questions one
:00:26. > :00:29.and nine together. It is to deliver a sustainable financers. The
:00:30. > :00:33.Stormont House Agreement set out a range of measures to help them
:00:34. > :00:36.deliver it. These include implementation of welfare reform,
:00:37. > :00:39.measures to improve efficiency in the public sector and a new
:00:40. > :00:47.independent fiscal Council Northern Ireland. Following the agreement
:00:48. > :00:50.between Northern Ireland parties and budget and Irish governments last
:00:51. > :00:54.week, what competence does she have the budget of the executive can be
:00:55. > :00:59.put on a sustainable footing, allowing a greater focus on value
:01:00. > :01:07.for money and public service delivery? I am confident on matters.
:01:08. > :01:11.This house, in earlier this week, pasta welfare reform proposals
:01:12. > :01:16.needed to apply in Northern Ireland. That will make a huge difference in
:01:17. > :01:21.financial sustainability, and of course that also made progress in
:01:22. > :01:27.the House of Lords yesterday. Has the part is the opposite come late
:01:28. > :01:30.to the merits of devolution, what assessment has she made of the
:01:31. > :01:35.balding income tax to the Northern Ireland Executive in a way to make
:01:36. > :01:41.sure they are on a financial footing? We are strong supporters of
:01:42. > :01:45.devolution here. The previous agreements made with the Northern
:01:46. > :01:50.Ireland Executive makes clear we are open to consideration of devolution
:01:51. > :01:53.of further tax powers, the highest priority is devolution of
:01:54. > :02:03.corporation tax, which we hope to press ahead with as soon as the
:02:04. > :02:09.Stormont House Agreement is met. While the petition of concern at
:02:10. > :02:13.buys in the agreement is not comp all three, it is not binding, does
:02:14. > :02:17.the Secretary of State agree with me that an adherence to the advice
:02:18. > :02:21.given in that document will be important as we move forward to
:02:22. > :02:26.allow the assembly to function properly and set a budget in a
:02:27. > :02:31.timely manner next year? I think he puts his points very well. I agree
:02:32. > :02:36.it is important the petition of concern is focused on those matters
:02:37. > :02:40.for which it was devised, namely matters where individual part of the
:02:41. > :02:45.community need to be protected on equality issues, and I believe the
:02:46. > :02:52.protocol agreed will help focus the position of concern are matters for
:02:53. > :02:56.which it was always intended. It is important the agreement comes to
:02:57. > :03:00.sustainable, long-term requirements. What steps does she
:03:01. > :03:06.have to make sure this will last over the longer term? One of the
:03:07. > :03:09.most important things in the UK Government is doing to ensure
:03:10. > :03:12.sustainable public finances for the Northern Ireland Executive is to
:03:13. > :03:18.implement our long-term economic plan, deliver economic stability and
:03:19. > :03:22.also prosperity does the economy is growing in Northern Ireland, News
:03:23. > :03:27.matters will halt support the executive in their efforts to make
:03:28. > :03:34.sure they have financial financers? Assurances. Would she agree with a
:03:35. > :03:37.fresh start a grocers, there would be no prospect of a sustainable
:03:38. > :03:42.budget for the Northern Ireland Executive, which would lead
:03:43. > :03:45.inevitably to the return of direct rule which would be bad for Northern
:03:46. > :03:53.Ireland and bad for all others people? Would also agree that the
:03:54. > :04:00.agreement provides for the most generous welfare system, hardball
:04:01. > :04:05.working families, and also job creation? I can agree with all of
:04:06. > :04:09.that. I have made it clear. But about the successful outcome of the
:04:10. > :04:14.talks of a fresh start agreement, we would have been on a path to
:04:15. > :04:18.collapse of the institutions and a return to direct rule. I
:04:19. > :04:23.wholeheartedly agree with them, that would have been a major sat back...
:04:24. > :04:31.Setback and one we have all striven to avoid. Would she now, following
:04:32. > :04:35.the fresh. Agreement, talk to her colleagues, particular the
:04:36. > :04:38.Chancellor, about how Northern Ireland can be linked in to the
:04:39. > :04:45.northern powerhouse to our mutual benefit? I think that is a good idea
:04:46. > :04:49.to consider. I will raise up with the Chancellor, and I think the
:04:50. > :04:52.proposals set out in the economic pact agreed between the executive
:04:53. > :04:56.and the government a couple of years ago demonstrate that the two
:04:57. > :05:00.Administration is working more closely together than ever before,
:05:01. > :05:06.but including a northern powerhouse element is good idea. Once again I
:05:07. > :05:10.commend the secular state that her work over the past few months
:05:11. > :05:16.ensuring that the Stormont continues. As she knows, bedroom tax
:05:17. > :05:19.will not be imposed on Northern Ireland, and for historical reasons
:05:20. > :05:23.it has a higher welfare spending than elsewhere in the UK can stop
:05:24. > :05:27.this will place a burden on Northern Ireland. What plans does the
:05:28. > :05:32.government have in place to back-up the government should they struggle
:05:33. > :05:36.to fulfil these commitments? It was a reasonable compromise reached in
:05:37. > :05:40.the two agreements between the parties and the UK Government and
:05:41. > :05:47.Irish government, that welfare reform will be in fermented with top
:05:48. > :05:51.ups agreed. That would give Northern Ireland the most generous welfare
:05:52. > :05:55.system in the UK. Whilst we will not pay for a more expensive welfare
:05:56. > :06:00.system in Northern Ireland and elsewhere, the block grant does give
:06:01. > :06:03.a public spending per head rate in Northern Ireland higher than
:06:04. > :06:10.anywhere else in the UK, not provide support for Northern Ireland. Does
:06:11. > :06:13.the Secretary of State agree with me that Northern Ireland's financial
:06:14. > :06:20.position, be sustainable or competent without a major prosperity
:06:21. > :06:26.strategy? A plan which deals with the low skills, low pay and low
:06:27. > :06:31.productivity levels we have. I agree a strategy on prosperity is
:06:32. > :06:35.crucial, just as it is everywhere else, so we are planning a long-term
:06:36. > :06:39.plan and these executive is working hard to make Northern Ireland a
:06:40. > :06:44.fantastic place to do business. Examples recently of new jobs
:06:45. > :06:54.announcements, 800 jobs in Enniskillen, 250 in Belfast and 87
:06:55. > :06:57.elsewhere. The Northern Ireland economy is a great success story, I
:06:58. > :07:07.think the second of should take pride in the role they have played
:07:08. > :07:12.in that. The Secretary of State and I hold discussions on economic
:07:13. > :07:17.double at issues. I met Jonathan Bell last Thursday on such issues. A
:07:18. > :07:21.fresh start agreement signed early last week reaffirmed the
:07:22. > :07:25.government's commitment to devolving corporation tax powers to Northern
:07:26. > :07:29.Ireland, in sustainable financers are secured. This measure has the
:07:30. > :07:34.potential to transform the impact on the Northern Irish economy. I thank
:07:35. > :07:38.the Minister for his answer. Will my honourable friend join me in
:07:39. > :07:41.welcoming the visitor numbers to Northern Ireland and the economic
:07:42. > :07:49.benefits it brings? And also support links? The 1 thing that Hampshire
:07:50. > :07:53.and Belfast have in common is the cruise ships in Southampton. I'm
:07:54. > :07:56.delighted to say that has been an increase in cruise ships using
:07:57. > :08:08.Belfast as a gateway to Ireland, where they can visit the causeway
:08:09. > :08:14.and enjoy the Titanic experience. There's been no movement in Northern
:08:15. > :08:16.Ireland on an enterprise zone. With the Secretary of State consider
:08:17. > :08:23.helping Belfast International Airport achieved an enterprise zone
:08:24. > :08:28.in my constituency? Jeering at the original house agreement, big
:08:29. > :08:33.government committed itself in agreeing a city deal. It is fully
:08:34. > :08:35.executive to bring that city deal, myself and my right honourable
:08:36. > :08:43.friend here to make sure that happens. What benefits does the
:08:44. > :08:50.Minister think the hosting of the 2019 open showmanship will have on
:08:51. > :08:56.the Northern Ireland economy -- championship? It will showcase the
:08:57. > :08:59.find has a golf courses outside of Belfast and around the rest of
:09:00. > :09:09.Northern Ireland. It is important we get people not just into Bell but --
:09:10. > :09:15.Belfast, but further afield. Will the Secretary of State and the
:09:16. > :09:18.Minister have discussions with the Northern Ireland Executive and the
:09:19. > :09:25.Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change to reinstate the
:09:26. > :09:30.renewable obligations so that those who have already got contracts can
:09:31. > :09:38.be facilitated and that we can underpin the local economy in
:09:39. > :09:42.Northern Ireland? The Secretary of State is sitting here and will have
:09:43. > :09:51.heard her question. I will certainly be happy to discuss it with her.
:09:52. > :09:54.Where I go in Northern Ireland, one of the concerns raised is the need
:09:55. > :10:03.for improved access to broadband according to the research papers, as
:10:04. > :10:12.part of the ?530 million investment in broadband, English counties have
:10:13. > :10:17.received two and had a 94 million, Scotland 104, Wales six and nine,
:10:18. > :10:24.whereas Northern Ireland received just 4.4 million. Why is that figure
:10:25. > :10:30.so low? I thank him for his question. I won't be able to and it,
:10:31. > :10:36.over the say that some of the responsibility lies with the
:10:37. > :10:41.executive. It is important that we improve it.
:10:42. > :10:46.My constituency has taken a real kicking in terms of loss of
:10:47. > :10:51.manufacturing jobs in recent days, and in the past 12 months. The
:10:52. > :10:55.Business Minister recently promised the government would go the extra
:10:56. > :11:00.mile. Can the menace to give me any hope this morning of these questions
:11:01. > :11:07.for manufacturing jobs in North Antrim? As I have always said to the
:11:08. > :11:10.champion of his constituent who is always campaigning to increase
:11:11. > :11:14.manufacturing in his constituency, I have been trying to help him. This
:11:15. > :11:17.morning I spoke with the Mayor of London, and indeed last week, and I
:11:18. > :11:30.hope there will be some good news very soon with more orders to come.
:11:31. > :11:33.Question three. Northern Ireland firms can apply for large public
:11:34. > :11:36.sector contracts with the official Journal of European Union. This
:11:37. > :11:41.government has set a target that a third of central public procurement
:11:42. > :11:45.spend is delivered by SMEs. , Department are here to help
:11:46. > :11:48.companies benefit from improved access to public sector contracts,
:11:49. > :11:54.and that includes companies in Northern Ireland. I am grateful to
:11:55. > :11:59.the Minister for his response. I know that, like me, is proud of the
:12:00. > :12:03.contribution bombard yea and Harland and Wolff make from my constituency,
:12:04. > :12:08.but following on from Monday's strategic defence and security
:12:09. > :12:14.review, with the Minister undertake to organise a round where companies
:12:15. > :12:17.in Northern Ireland can make sure they can avail of the opportunities
:12:18. > :12:23.of forthcoming procurement contracts? The honourable member is
:12:24. > :12:27.right. Northern Ireland's skills base is perfect for increasing and
:12:28. > :12:32.exploiting its aerospace company. I was delighted that Kallis recently
:12:33. > :12:37.won another order in Malaysia. The Business Minister has agreed it is a
:12:38. > :12:44.good idea the member has put forward and I would be delighted to arrange
:12:45. > :12:47.that round table with him and my honourable friend. Mr Speaker, with
:12:48. > :12:49.90% of firms in Northern Ireland being SMEs, what support is being
:12:50. > :12:53.put in place to safeguard their interests when promoting
:12:54. > :13:00.collaborative procurement? The honourable member is correct, that
:13:01. > :13:04.SMEs suffer when bureaucracy is too great, which is why the Cabinet
:13:05. > :13:07.Office has been leading the red tape tanners, designed to reduce red tape
:13:08. > :13:10.on small businesses, and if we continue to progress on that line,
:13:11. > :13:13.small businesses will have an opportunity to thrive and take
:13:14. > :13:19.advantage of the low corporation tax that will hopefully be delivered in
:13:20. > :13:22.2018. Order. I am scarcely able to hear the Minister, partly because
:13:23. > :13:26.there is too much noise, and partly because the honourable gentleman
:13:27. > :13:31.looked back at the person whom he was answering. His full visage
:13:32. > :13:38.should face the House. The House will benefit, I feel sure. Lady
:13:39. > :13:41.Hermon. Thank you, Mr Speaker. I wonder if the Minister would commit
:13:42. > :13:46.to meeting those senior representatives of Northern Ireland
:13:47. > :13:54.companies who have serious concerns about waste in the UK's defence
:13:55. > :13:58.procurement procedures? As a former aerospace worker myself, I know how
:13:59. > :14:01.much delay can damage the supply chain. Under the leadership of our
:14:02. > :14:08.defence but you met miniature Lee Minister we have improved things,
:14:09. > :14:12.but I would be delighted to meet with the heads of her businesses and
:14:13. > :14:14.to make sure they are getting an efficient service from the
:14:15. > :14:21.contracting department and make sure that more business is done in
:14:22. > :14:24.Northern Ireland. Question four. The fresh start agreement reached last
:14:25. > :14:27.Tuesday opens the way for implantation of a range of
:14:28. > :14:30.provisions in the Stormont house agreement, and welfare and
:14:31. > :14:35.sustainable public science and the macro finances, flags and reform of
:14:36. > :14:39.the devolved institutions, including official opposition, reducing the
:14:40. > :14:44.size of the Assembly, and cutting the number of executive ministers.
:14:45. > :14:48.Blackman. I thank my right honourable friend for her answer,
:14:49. > :14:51.and for the progress she has made in implement in the agreement. But
:14:52. > :14:54.there are still many other areas still to be in demented, and I
:14:55. > :14:58.wonder if she could update the House on what steps she is taking to make
:14:59. > :15:04.sure the entire agreement is implemented forthwith. I think the
:15:05. > :15:07.fresh start agreement is a good deal for Northern Ireland, and is vitally
:15:08. > :15:11.important that we get the implementation of the storm house
:15:12. > :15:14.agreement by contract. It is a matter of regret we were unable to
:15:15. > :15:18.agree sufficient points on the legacy of the past to introduce
:15:19. > :15:23.legislation as we had hoped, but we will be working hard on this matter.
:15:24. > :15:25.I will be meeting the victims commissioner and the justice
:15:26. > :15:33.minister next week to consider a way forward. Jeffrey Donaldson. Will the
:15:34. > :15:36.secretary of state work with us on this side of the House to ensure
:15:37. > :15:41.that we continue to address the issues related to the legacy of our
:15:42. > :15:45.troubled past. It is crucial that we do our best to provide support and
:15:46. > :15:51.care for the innocent victims, and that we find a way of enabling them
:15:52. > :15:54.to have access to truth and justice. I can give him that assurance and I
:15:55. > :15:59.look forward to continuing to work with him on these important matters.
:16:00. > :16:03.I believe it is important that the institutions envisaged under the
:16:04. > :16:06.storm at house agreement are set up because the current institutions are
:16:07. > :16:09.not providing good enough outcomes for victims and survivors, so we
:16:10. > :16:17.need to do something about the current situation. Thank you, Mr
:16:18. > :16:20.Speaker. As we all know, politics is not an easy business, but what
:16:21. > :16:27.lessons can be learnt from the recent events to ensure we do all we
:16:28. > :16:30.can say this does not happen again? A very good question. I think we
:16:31. > :16:33.have already learned from the problems in relation to the storm at
:16:34. > :16:39.house agreement, where implementation was stalled a few
:16:40. > :16:41.months after it was agreed. So, both the executive and the government
:16:42. > :16:48.have moved swiftly on the fresh start agreement by passing an LCM in
:16:49. > :16:52.the Assembly, by a grain a balanced budget in the executive, and here in
:16:53. > :16:57.this House, by pressing ahead on legislation and welfare reform. Mr
:16:58. > :17:01.Speaker, despite the best efforts of the party and the Irish government
:17:02. > :17:04.and the welcome deal that was done last week, the victims, survivors
:17:05. > :17:08.and their families, will be frustrated and disheartened by the
:17:09. > :17:13.fact that measures in the past were not able to be agreed. I am told
:17:14. > :17:17.that progress was made regarding this issue. Can the secretary of
:17:18. > :17:20.state explain exactly what the problem was, who disagreed, and
:17:21. > :17:26.whether any documents discussed could actually be published?
:17:27. > :17:30.Certainly, we will be reflecting on whether in the coming month it might
:17:31. > :17:34.be appropriate to publish a draft bill for consideration, but we would
:17:35. > :17:39.not take any steps on that without extensive discussions with the first
:17:40. > :17:45.and Deputy First Minister and victims. Seven it is important to
:17:46. > :17:50.recognise that we made progress on how the HIV woodworking practice,
:17:51. > :17:54.what reflection in stature there would need to be, so a number of
:17:55. > :18:01.issues were more less resolved it was a key problem to find something
:18:02. > :18:05.mutually agreeable on matters relating to national-security. The
:18:06. > :18:08.government was clear we would provide the fullest possible
:18:09. > :18:11.disclosure to age are you, but we have to ensure that documents which
:18:12. > :18:17.go from there into the public domain do not jeopardise national security.
:18:18. > :18:23.I thank the secretary of state for what was a helpful answer. The
:18:24. > :18:26.planned storm at house agreement was supposed to include new mechanisms
:18:27. > :18:30.to deal with the past so victims and families could find out more about
:18:31. > :18:33.what happened in the conflict, see that justice is done, and look at
:18:34. > :18:37.that help and support for those affected. Isn't it critical that
:18:38. > :18:40.that work is not lost, that it is not forgotten, and that we take the
:18:41. > :18:44.work forward? How does the government propose to do that and
:18:45. > :18:50.the family is going to be included in that process? As I have said, it
:18:51. > :18:53.is important for discussions to take place with victims groups on
:18:54. > :18:57.charting a way forward. I think it is important that this issue is not
:18:58. > :19:02.parked pending the Assembly elections. We cannot let this rest
:19:03. > :19:06.for another year without taking action. We need to find a way to
:19:07. > :19:10.make progress, and we should try to retain the progress made in the
:19:11. > :19:13.storm at house talks, which as I said involved broad agreement on a
:19:14. > :19:21.number of important issues. Question five. The recent political talk
:19:22. > :19:25.established significant ground between the parties on dealing with
:19:26. > :19:29.the past, but not enough to allow us to legislate at this point. We will
:19:30. > :19:32.keep working to achieve the necessary consensus to allow new
:19:33. > :19:37.structures on dealing with the past to be established.
:19:38. > :19:41.I thank the Minister for her answer. Would she agree with me that one of
:19:42. > :19:47.the key ways of moving away from the past and be little of paramilitary
:19:48. > :19:49.activity, is to improve the economy of Northern Ireland. Northern
:19:50. > :19:54.Ireland currently has the highest working age in activity of any UK
:19:55. > :19:59.region. What measures are being taken by the UK Government to
:20:00. > :20:03.support Northern Ireland Assembly to improve employment opportunities,
:20:04. > :20:07.especially for young people? She is absolutely right, that a strong
:20:08. > :20:10.economy is key to more or less every other goal in government. Without a
:20:11. > :20:14.strong economy, you cannot deliver the effective menace the macro
:20:15. > :20:21.mechanisms for dealing with the past. The governance will continue
:20:22. > :20:30.to pursue its long-term economic plan to create new jobs. 33,000 more
:20:31. > :20:34.people are in work... Order! I understand the sense of anticipation
:20:35. > :20:38.at this time on a Wednesday, but I would point out to the House that we
:20:39. > :20:41.are talking about the legacy of Northern Ireland's past. Out of
:20:42. > :20:45.respect to the people of Northern Ireland, if for no other reason, a
:20:46. > :20:51.seemly atmosphere would be appreciated. Let's hear David
:20:52. > :20:55.Simpson. I am sure the secretary of state would agree with me in
:20:56. > :20:58.whatever settlement is agreed on the legacy of Northern Ireland that has
:20:59. > :21:02.already been mentioned about the victims, which are paramount in
:21:03. > :21:06.this, but would she agree that no one should be allowed to rewrite the
:21:07. > :21:12.history of Northern Ireland when we settle this? I can give him that
:21:13. > :21:15.assurance. It would be unacceptable to set up institutions which
:21:16. > :21:19.facilitated attempts to rewrite history. That is why the Stormont
:21:20. > :21:23.house agreement has written very clearly into it that new views must
:21:24. > :21:30.be objective, fair and impartial in all the work they do. My right
:21:31. > :21:33.honourable friend was not in the House last week when I post my
:21:34. > :21:37.urgent question about the arrest of soldier Jane, formerly of the
:21:38. > :21:43.Parachute Regiment. In answer, her excellent and gallant friend, the
:21:44. > :21:48.Parliamentary under secretary of state, said that she and the Irish
:21:49. > :21:52.government decided that the best future is to move forward and not
:21:53. > :21:58.back. Would she agree with me that seeking to prosecute former British
:21:59. > :22:02.soldiers now in the late 60s and 70s, who have done their best to
:22:03. > :22:11.serve their country, to prosecute them now, nearly 50 years later,
:22:12. > :22:15.would be an injustice? I am very much aware of his long-standing
:22:16. > :22:19.concern on this case. He will appreciate that the decisions on
:22:20. > :22:23.policing and prosecution are rightly matters for the police and
:22:24. > :22:28.prosecuting authorities, entirely independent of ministers. But I give
:22:29. > :22:32.him this reassurance, I am confident that the police and I will approach
:22:33. > :22:36.this sensitive case with all the principles of an objectivity,
:22:37. > :22:41.fairness and impartiality respect for human rights that they display
:22:42. > :22:46.in all of their work. Does the secretary of state recognise that
:22:47. > :22:50.dealing with the past does not just represent a matter that we owe to
:22:51. > :22:54.victims, but also, people want to know that we have not simply
:22:55. > :22:58.replaced the years of dirty war with a dirty peace, and that she
:22:59. > :23:03.recognise that the length of serious questions raised by the programme
:23:04. > :23:13.last night, the issues placed on national security related to what
:23:14. > :23:17.paramilitary forces did during the troubles? The UK Government is
:23:18. > :23:21.committed to the storm at house provisions on the past, we need to
:23:22. > :23:24.set them up, we do think it is important to give clearer answers to
:23:25. > :23:29.fit into suffered as a result of the troubles and to do all we can to
:23:30. > :23:34.pursue evidence of wrongdoing, but I emphasise that the vast majority of
:23:35. > :23:36.the police and Armed Forces in Northern Ireland during the troubles
:23:37. > :23:47.carried out their duties with exceptional courage, slavery,
:23:48. > :23:54.integrity and professional -- bravery and professionalism. It is
:23:55. > :23:58.not a dirty war. With permission, Mr Speaker, I will answer questions six
:23:59. > :24:03.and ten together. The terrorist threat in Northern Ireland continues
:24:04. > :24:10.to be severe. It has been repressed by dedicated work, but the need for
:24:11. > :24:16.a high state of vigilance remains. So that paramilitary organisations
:24:17. > :24:19.no longer have a place in Northern Ireland, it is important to deter
:24:20. > :24:22.people from joining them in the first base. Can my right on of them
:24:23. > :24:25.tell the House what measures are being taken to prevent vulnerable
:24:26. > :24:30.young people from joining paramilitary organisations? There
:24:31. > :24:36.are already a number of excellent programmes run by charities to deter
:24:37. > :24:40.young people in Northern Ireland from a life of crime, or association
:24:41. > :24:44.with paramilitary organisations. The fresh start agreement makes a
:24:45. > :24:49.stronger commitment to increase these programmes so that young
:24:50. > :24:51.people are shown an alternative path and not drawn into association with
:24:52. > :24:59.terrorism or paramilitary organisations, or crime. Last
:25:00. > :25:05.week's agreement welcome measures to tackle dissident republican groups.
:25:06. > :25:12.What is the Minister's assessment of the threat that is still posed by
:25:13. > :25:17.these terrorist groups? These groups have lethal intent and lethal
:25:18. > :25:19.capability. They have been responsible for 115 national
:25:20. > :25:26.security attacks over the past five years. The threat from these groups
:25:27. > :25:33.is being suppressed by highly effective activity by PF Vandyke,
:25:34. > :25:40.aided in many instances by cross-border activity. How concerned
:25:41. > :25:44.is the secretary of state that the IRA Army council is still in place,
:25:45. > :25:50.while IRA and is still murder citizens on our streets? It is
:25:51. > :25:52.entirely unacceptable that any paramilitary organisations continue
:25:53. > :25:58.to exist in Northern Ireland. I believe the fresh start agreement
:25:59. > :26:02.will mark a turning point and put us on the path to a day when these
:26:03. > :26:06.organisations are consigned once and for all to Northern Ireland's past,
:26:07. > :26:11.and have nothing to do with its past or -- present or future. Order.
:26:12. > :26:25.Questions to the Prime Minister. Fiona Bruce.
:26:26. > :26:32.Everyone in this House and many people watching at home know from
:26:33. > :26:35.yes, Prime Minister, the central role that Bernard, the Prime
