:00:19. > :00:22.the Panama Papers leak. David Cameron released attack details
:00:23. > :00:28.after allegations that he benefited from offshore trust. After that the
:00:29. > :00:33.Business Secretary comes the dispatch box on a statement for the
:00:34. > :00:39.UK steel industry. Todd Todd has closed a deal to sell its business
:00:40. > :00:45.to the British based investment firm. The Europe minister David
:00:46. > :00:49.Bennington make a statement on the EU referendum we find being sent out

:00:57. > :01:02.debate on the finance bill which brings into law measures announced.
:01:03. > :01:07.Don't forget to join me for a round about the date at 11pm tonight.
:01:08. > :01:09.First its questions to the Home Secretary Theresa May at her
:01:10. > :01:44.ministerial team. Order order. Questions to the
:01:45. > :01:53.Secretary of State for the Home Department. Number one. Looking
:01:54. > :01:57.closely at European and African partners to address illegal
:01:58. > :02:02.migration to the European Union. The members for the letter summoned...
:02:03. > :02:06.As current chair for the cartoon to process the government takes a
:02:07. > :02:10.leading role in driving forward projects to combat peoples bungling
:02:11. > :02:17.and trafficking from Africa. Focusing on capacity building
:02:18. > :02:21.training and communications. Just before Easter weekend, 52 suspected
:02:22. > :02:28.migrants, many of North African descent were held after two lorries
:02:29. > :02:31.were stopped, given Kent is on the front line in the desperate attempts
:02:32. > :02:35.to my right honourable friend, but additional support can be provided
:02:36. > :02:41.to our regions police and border guards to prevent these clandestine
:02:42. > :02:45.actions. My noble friend raises an important issue and I recognise the
:02:46. > :02:50.role that can't plays in these matters. As she says being on the
:02:51. > :02:53.front line. There is a dedicated unit in cans and specialist he
:02:54. > :02:57.refers to support police to gather further intelligence to deal with
:02:58. > :03:01.this vile trade. Importantly we want to stop people from arriving in the
:03:02. > :03:06.UK clandestinely and that is the work that we doing with the French
:03:07. > :03:14.government to improve security at the juxtaposed controls at Calais
:03:15. > :03:17.and elsewhere. Also, the board of the national crime agency,
:03:18. > :03:22.immigration enforcement, and the crime command, dealing with other
:03:23. > :03:26.partners and in Africa to break these criminal gangs and to stop
:03:27. > :03:32.this trafficking and its people smuggling taking place. The deal
:03:33. > :03:36.with Turkey was brokered after intense negotiations which seems to
:03:37. > :03:41.be lacking in respect of what is happening in North Africa. I hear
:03:42. > :03:48.but he -- she says about the cartoon process, but the numbers increased
:03:49. > :03:53.by 80% over the last year. President Obama said that Libya was the worst
:03:54. > :03:57.mistake of his presidency. Italy faces a summer of crisis. Does the
:03:58. > :04:05.Home Secretary agreed that the way to this -- extend this is to enable
:04:06. > :04:08.international law to enable boats to enter international waters to
:04:09. > :04:13.intercept this criminal gangs to stop them from making innocent
:04:14. > :04:16.people put their lives at risk. The honourable gentleman is right to
:04:17. > :04:19.look very carefully at what has happened last summer for people
:04:20. > :04:27.coming into the beer from and build -- Italy. But also what could happen
:04:28. > :04:32.now the spring months are upon us and is better. It is not just about
:04:33. > :04:36.boats entering into Libyan waters United Nations has discussed the
:04:37. > :04:40.action that can be taken in relation to these matters but it is also
:04:41. > :04:43.about working upstream. It is about working with the source countries to
:04:44. > :04:47.ensure that people have less incentive to be moving away. That is
:04:48. > :04:50.where our development aid work is part digitally imported. Also
:04:51. > :04:55.working with transit countries to break the model of the smugglers and
:04:56. > :04:59.the people traffickers that people see that thinking this dangerous
:05:00. > :05:05.journey does not enable settlement in Europe. The Home Secretary may
:05:06. > :05:08.remember that our last question Time but we discussed this I asked a
:05:09. > :05:14.specific question about whether we were searching for Lloris and she
:05:15. > :05:21.told me that I had misunderstood the situation. Only half the lorries are
:05:22. > :05:24.being searched. Many people are stowing away in there and are
:05:25. > :05:28.arriving here and there never being sent back. It is making a mockery of
:05:29. > :05:32.our immigration rules. Will she get a direct answer to a direct
:05:33. > :05:37.question, will they all be searched at Calais? I apologise to my
:05:38. > :05:44.Honorable friend if there was any misunderstanding any answer I grave
:05:45. > :05:47.-- gave last him around. We do search them. The point of having the
:05:48. > :05:51.controls is that it does enable us to do more, it is the question of
:05:52. > :05:55.using various techniques to try and to do more to ensure we are enabled
:05:56. > :06:01.to do clandestine ones that are a boring lorries. The actor security
:06:02. > :06:09.measures that we have taken particularly at Calais. We see it is
:06:10. > 3:57:50much harder for people to get on at this places. We have to work with
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the French government, it is not just about searching them for
3:57:51 > 3:57:50working upstream as well. Trying to identify this places further a field
3:57:51 > 3:57:50where people are trying to get on them so we can catch them at that
3:57:51 > 3:57:50stage rather than relying on searches or techniques used at the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50border. She will be aware that organizations like Unicef and save
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the children are urging the British Government to do more and to help
3:57:51 > 3:57:50refugees and those accompanying children. She has been to the people
3:57:51 > 3:57:50trafficking and people traffickers and stopping the organised gangs,
3:57:51 > 3:57:50but of course there is a very real risk of child explication with these
3:57:51 > 3:57:50vulnerable children travelling across to Europe. What more is she
3:57:51 > 3:57:50and the government doing to make sure that this problem is tackled?
3:57:51 > 3:57:50We are very conscious to -- of the issues that could arise to the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50children. Particularly how they could be traffic and exploded. That
3:57:51 > 3:57:50is why the expertise of the independent anti-slave commissions,
3:57:51 > 3:57:50he has already had discussions with those in Calais. You will be
3:57:51 > 3:57:50visiting hotspots in Europe in the coming weeks to ensure that he can
3:57:51 > 3:57:50both help identify these issues but also share his expertise that others
3:57:51 > 3:57:50are able to identify those who might be excluded. Number two. With kind
3:57:51 > 3:57:50permission I will answer questions number two and five on the paper
3:57:51 > 3:57:50together. Government is opposed to relocation proposals. They do
3:57:51 > 3:57:50nothing to address the underlying issues that the EU is facing, they
3:57:51 > 3:57:50simply move the problem around Europe. Our focus should be securing
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the external border, make sure there are no rights in the EU, and so that
3:57:51 > 3:57:50people no longer feel that they have no choice to travel to Europe. At
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the weekend it was reported that the children of the commission had
3:57:51 > 3:57:50reported to the French government urging to speed up a some claims and
3:57:51 > 3:57:50children in refugee camps help relatives in the UK. Children that
3:57:51 > 3:57:50much be petrified, they are completely isolated and vulnerable.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50We would not have the situation for our level. This is a critical need
3:57:51 > 3:57:50to get these poor children safely reunited with their families in the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50UK. The Home Secretary and colleagues have had regular
3:57:51 > 3:57:50discussions with the French counterparts on this matter to speed
3:57:51 > 3:57:50up the process and in deed I can report it has been a significant
3:57:51 > 3:57:50report of the last few weeks and the time it takes to process these
3:57:51 > 3:57:50applications. Charity workers at Calais have deep concerns of the 129
3:57:51 > 3:57:50missing children following dismantling parts of the jungle.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Does he agree that more must be done by authorities and make
3:57:51 > 3:57:50representations by the French authorities but are generally seen
3:57:51 > 3:57:50as children out and determined with haste which of these children are
3:57:51 > 3:57:50able to come to Scotland in the rest of the UK? I would like to report
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the Begu the discussions on this matter between the Home Secretary
3:57:51 > 3:57:50and French colleagues. It was recently announced that the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50provision of ?10 million process to help unaccompanied children in
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Europe. How it is going to be allocated will be announced very
3:57:51 > 3:57:50soon. Far from lagging behind the European Union on this issue, the UK
3:57:51 > 3:57:50is doing far more than any other country in Europe with massive
3:57:51 > 3:57:50support for the camps for the refugees. Also settling the most
3:57:51 > 3:57:50vulnerable refugees from the cancer the UK. Yes my Honorable friend
3:57:51 > 3:57:50makes an extremely good point. The government believes that making --
3:57:51 > 3:57:50relocating children around Europe is not the answer. I was keen to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50relocate the most vulnerable people from the countries around Syria, 51%
3:57:51 > 3:57:50of the people that brought children, and I would hope most people on both
3:57:51 > 3:57:50sides of the house would accept that this is a well measured, well
3:57:51 > 3:57:50carried out scheme. It has led to many children's lies being
3:57:51 > 3:57:50significantly improved. Nevertheless thousands of children are still
3:57:51 > 3:57:50waiting to be resettled. We have had this debate for weeks, and months. I
3:57:51 > 3:57:50am ashamed when I listen to the European public debate. I hear
3:57:51 > 3:57:50concern and compassion, something that seems to be missing in this
3:57:51 > 3:57:50place. I am sure the Honorable Lady is aware that we have shown in our
3:57:51 > 3:57:50resettlement scheme that many children have been resettled. More
3:57:51 > 3:57:50than 50% of those coming here have been children. I remind her and
3:57:51 > 3:57:50other Honorable members that UNHCR's policy is to keep children in the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50areas around Syria where have been very successful and identifying
3:57:51 > 3:57:50children with greater families to make sure they have a good chance of
3:57:51 > 3:57:50a better life the future. Will the government expand the current
3:57:51 > 3:57:50definition to include de facto family members so that vulnerable
3:57:51 > 3:57:50children can come here much more quickly than is currently the case?
3:57:51 > 3:57:50The honourable gentleman will be aware that the government is
3:57:51 > 3:57:50currently looking at reports from UNHCR on precisely the issue of
3:57:51 > 3:57:50unaccompanied children. I would hope you would agree that lots of efforts
3:57:51 > 3:57:50are actually on the way. The government is right and made a big
3:57:51 > 3:57:50deal about the Syrian conference. The UN HCR has said financial
3:57:51 > 3:57:50solidarity is not enough so why won't the government listen and step
3:57:51 > 3:57:50up to responsibilities to help more? On behalf of the government I was at
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the Geneva conference and night would like to put on record that the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50British Government was committed by other governments for the work it
3:57:51 > 3:57:50has done. It has certainly programmed to resettle them has
3:57:51 > 3:57:50insignificantly greater than all of the other countries in the European
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Union put together. At Easter I and three other Scottish MPs, during
3:57:51 > 3:57:50those days we met many refugees with strong ties to the United Kingdom.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Why is the government record on take charge request for those with strong
3:57:51 > 3:57:50ties to the UK so poor and what exactly will the government do to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50make sure there is greater awareness of and a faster process for these
3:57:51 > 3:57:50take charge request. The Honorable Lady were quickly mentions that
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the... Is our government policy to make sure that the convention works
3:57:51 > 3:57:50properly. So officials have been seconded, not just in Calais but in
3:57:51 > 3:57:50other places in Europe. To make sure that what she asks for happens and
3:57:51 > 3:57:50that is speeded up significantly. I'm afraid that the answer is not
3:57:51 > 3:57:50good enough, there was no evidence of any Home Office presence in any
3:57:51 > 3:57:50of those camps. What is happening to children in those camps is utterly
3:57:51 > 3:57:50disgraceful. In one camp, I met a 16, while if I'm allowed to speak I
3:57:51 > 3:57:50will try to. The honourable Tillman welcomes your opinion, his opinion
3:57:51 > 3:57:50is not enhanced by simply winking at me. LAUGHTER The Honorable Lady is a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50distinguished advocate and she must be hard, even if she were not she
3:57:51 > 3:57:50should still be heard. It is not a laughing matter and it is not up to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the French were the children's have connections to the United Kingdom.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50That is my point. I met a 16-year-old girl who was working
3:57:51 > 3:57:50hard for exams from a pop-ups school in a tent. She made the journey from
3:57:51 > 3:57:50northern France on her own. Her father is in the United Kingdom but
3:57:51 > 3:57:50due to an absence of guidance from the French authorities any failure
3:57:51 > 3:57:50of our government to act she was stuck in limbo and uncertain of her
3:57:51 > 3:57:50future. Children like her are very vulnerable in these camps. It is
3:57:51 > 3:57:50time for the Home Secretary to show leadership. Would she give her a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50commitment that her department will make sure those with a right to join
3:57:51 > 3:57:50their families in the UK are granted that right urgently? Albertine ... I
3:57:51 > 3:57:50must reiterate that the children are in France and they are the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50responsibility of the French government. We are working with them
3:57:51 > 3:57:50very closely by pressing officials with them. The children in question
3:57:51 > 3:57:50have a very clear path, they should claim asylum which they are
3:57:51 > 3:57:50perfectly allowed to do. Then it is a responsibility of the Home Office,
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the British Government, to make sure that those asylum claims are
3:57:51 > 3:57:50speedily and effectively produce. If they do have the relationship with
3:57:51 > 3:57:50family in the UK, I can assure her that the process is very much
3:57:51 > 3:57:50speedier and more efficient than it used to be. Question number three.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50While overall crime has fallen, is changing. It is critical to reform
3:57:51 > 3:57:50our response to cyber crime, that is why statistics have been published
3:57:51 > 3:57:50for the first time. Based on the culinary field trial. They estimate
3:57:51 > 3:57:50to .5 million estimates of computer crime every year. They estimate
3:57:51 > 3:57:50about 5.1 additional incidents of crime which adds about 40% to the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50headline baseline figure in the UK. Would the Minister said that crime
3:57:51 > 3:57:50would appearing to be go up instead of down. I think Ryan is changing
3:57:51 > 3:57:50and the Honorable friend is right, it is about skill, which was why we
3:57:51 > 3:57:50established the national cyber crime unit. It is about resources which is
3:57:51 > 3:57:50why we funded ?1.9 billion into this. It is also about recognising
3:57:51 > 3:57:50that many of these crimes can be prevented by straightforward to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50practice by citizens. I always think that the question should have a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50purpose beyond the challenge of government, they should actually
3:57:51 > 3:57:50deliver positive results for members. I will write to him and the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50whole house with details of what he can advise his businesses and his
3:57:51 > 3:57:50constituents on how they can prevent these kinds of cyber crimes. The
3:57:51 > 3:57:50West of England is leading the way in tackling cyber crime following on
3:57:51 > 3:57:50from the 1.9 billion investment from our Chancellor last year. Given the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50atrocities in Brussels last month Kenny Mr give an update to this
3:57:51 > 3:57:50house about what work he is doing to work with our allies in order to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50tackle cyber crime? What is critical to tackling cyber crime is the issue
3:57:51 > 3:57:50and the private and public sector. Which is why the Home Secretary
3:57:51 > 3:57:50launch a joint task force to look at how allies, comrades, and friends
3:57:51 > 3:57:50and others can work together to tackle this issue. It is important
3:57:51 > 3:57:50also to emphasise that they say 80% of these crimes can be prevented by
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the kind of straightforward good practice that identified earlier.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Precisely why I take this matter so seriously and wide public
3:57:51 > 3:57:50information is the heart of it. For five years the alibi of the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50government was to say we can't police but we can't crime. By the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50police minister has told sky that citizens are more likely to have a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50crime perpetrated against them on their computers while they are
3:57:51 > 3:57:50asleep. They're more likely to be marked online the street. Can I ask
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the Minister this, with the cyber crime statistics centre near double
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the national crime rate, will the Minister finally admit that that far
3:57:51 > 3:57:50from alibi of the last five years crime is not falling, crime is
3:57:51 > 3:57:50changing and that the truth will be told that crime is rising? Is always
3:57:51 > 3:57:50unfortunate when a shadow minister prepares his question in advance and
3:57:51 > 3:57:50does not listen to what has been said before hand. I did say in my
3:57:51 > 3:57:50very first answer that crime was changing. It is falling, but it is
3:57:51 > 3:57:50also changing. Because it is changing we need the additional
3:57:51 > 3:57:50skills and resources and approaches that I described to the gentleman. I
3:57:51 > 3:57:50also referred, because I want to help him as much as I can, given the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50fact that he has made this question, I want to help him. I also referred
3:57:51 > 3:57:50him to the two sets of guidance that we published which I will happily
3:57:51 > 3:57:50furnish him with following questions. LAUGHTER Question for
3:57:51 > 3:57:50sir. Mr Speaker, for rescue authorities have delivered
3:57:51 > 3:57:50significant savings since 2010. Fire and death into the streets are at
3:57:51 > 3:57:50historic lows. They can still work smarter and reduce costs. Between
3:57:51 > 3:57:502009 and 2000 14 and 15. They rose by 136% to ?561 million. Those
3:57:51 > 3:57:50results should be targeted to achieving long-term efficiencies. An
3:57:51 > 3:57:50on-duty firefighter took his own bridge at the fire station citing a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50number of workplace pressures, and it normally high number of suicides
3:57:51 > 3:57:50by firefighters the last two years. The job of a firefighter is clearly
3:57:51 > 3:57:50now even more demanding. Work in the Home Secretary say to me to reassure
3:57:51 > 3:57:50me that the home offers take the pressure by firefighters seriously
3:57:51 > 3:57:50and to make sure that firefighters work in a safe and well supported
3:57:51 > 3:57:50environment to do the job but they do. Can I say to the honourable
3:57:51 > 3:57:50gentlemen, my condolences to the family and the firefighter in his
3:57:51 > 3:57:50constituency. The suicide of any firefighter is a great tragedy. Of
3:57:51 > 3:57:50course we recognise the pressures and the difficult job that
3:57:51 > 3:57:50firefighters do, but it is right that the number of fires that they
3:57:51 > 3:57:50are having to be called to has been reducing, the number of fire deaths
3:57:51 > 3:57:50and injuries is now at historic lows. The job of being a firefighter
3:57:51 > 3:57:50has been changing over the years, they are now doing more work for
3:57:51 > 3:57:50example in fire prevention. That is very valuable for the community. As
3:57:51 > 3:57:50look forward to greater collaboration between them and
3:57:51 > 3:57:50deeply service I we can have a better service provider for the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50communities. On attachment for the Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Service, we proceeded increasingly close way, how the police and Fire
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Service are working together to deliver for effective emergency
3:57:51 > 3:57:50services. With the Home Secretary take this opportunity to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50congratulate them both for the innovative and enthusiastic way
3:57:51 > 3:57:50they're facing the challenges? I am very happy to join my Honorable
3:57:51 > 3:57:50friend in doing exactly that. We see Northamptonshire a very good example
3:57:51 > 3:57:50of the benefits of collaboration that he can bring. My honourable
3:57:51 > 3:57:50friend was in Northampton last week opening a joint fire station and
3:57:51 > 3:57:50PlayStation. -- police station. Fire Services for the six largest have
3:57:51 > 3:57:50had their budgets cost by half. Thousands of firefighters will have
3:57:51 > 3:57:50lost their jobs, many fire stations closed and dark firefighters do a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50superb job, but can he Home Secretary say honestly that city is
3:57:51 > 3:57:50not being cover mice eyes and less a bit lost as a direct result of the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50cuts is there's been a decline of 42% of the decade from 2000 52 2015.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50As indicated in response to the question earlier from his honourable
3:57:51 > 3:57:50friend, the job of firefighters while they do still find themselves
3:57:51 > 3:57:50being called to fires, a lot of their work as well is around other
3:57:51 > 3:57:50services to the community, they're doing an excellent job but we want
3:57:51 > 3:57:50to see how that can be done even better and how that can work a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50better collaboration with the police in places select North in the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50future. They have already cost 6700 front-line firefighters, cuts the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50police have already cost 12,000 from police officers. As the Home
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Secretary and other knows there can only be so much. With the Home
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Secretary admit that her cynical plan to merge both services want to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50protect or restore a single police officer or firefighter to the front
3:57:51 > 3:57:50mind or make a single member of the public safer? I say to the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50honourable lady that yet again the Labour Party goes down this road
3:57:51 > 3:57:50thinking the only thing that matters is the number of police officers on
3:57:51 > 3:57:50a number of firefighters that are available. Tonight paid tribute
3:57:51 > 3:57:50actually, can I pay tribute to those people that volunteer at
3:57:51 > 3:57:50firefighters in those communities. There often overlooked. What matters
3:57:51 > 3:57:50is not just the number of people that you have, what matters is how
3:57:51 > 3:57:50you are spending the money and how you are deploying your resources.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50That is why the efficiencies we have seen, the collaboration we have
3:57:51 > 3:57:50seen, with results not just in savings but in a better service to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the public. Question number six please. The Home Office provides
3:57:51 > 3:57:50financial support by meeting additional cost to those local
3:57:51 > 3:57:50authorities taking on responsibility care of unaccompanied asylum seeking
3:57:51 > 3:57:50children. The immigration bill will underpin arrangements between local
3:57:51 > 3:57:50authorities. I think the Minister for that answer but given the number
3:57:51 > 3:57:50of cases where people over the age of 18 are pertaining to children
3:57:51 > 3:57:50what can local authorities do to make sure that resources are being
3:57:51 > 3:57:50best directed to these very vulnerable children? Can I thank my
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Honorable friend for his question, also the work for Northamptonshire
3:57:51 > 3:57:50as well in dealing with the pressures they have experienced any
3:57:51 > 3:57:50way have they have approached this. There are clearly age assessment
3:57:51 > 3:57:50test taken to ensure that support is provided to those required and not
3:57:51 > 3:57:50to those that don't. I would also add that it will be writing to all
3:57:51 > 3:57:50local authorities this week with an update on the progress to the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50national transfer scheme. Can the Minister say just how much money in
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the overseas but it has been used to help authorities resettle
3:57:51 > 3:57:50asylum-seekers? I think the honourable gentleman is effectively
3:57:51 > 3:57:50asking about not the unaccompanied asylum seeking children but a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50broader question in the Syrian resettlement scheme. We have sent
3:57:51 > 3:57:50out the mechanisms to those that are resettled and some of that is
3:57:51 > 3:57:50vulnerable through overseas development aid. That is how we are
3:57:51 > 3:57:50looking to ensure their great Added the Minister would agree that
3:57:51 > 3:57:50we can only perform our duty as a country in all areas take there is
3:57:51 > 3:57:50possibilities. It is good to hear his answer. Can I ask him about
3:57:51 > 3:57:50education support? Jozefzoon who are vulnerable to not lose the chance of
3:57:51 > 3:57:50a future, so how are local authorities with experience in
3:57:51 > 3:57:50helping asylum seeking children going to support those would lengthy
3:57:51 > 3:57:50experience in educating the children? I can say to her that
3:57:51 > 3:57:50we've had discussions with the Department for Education and local
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Government Association. In relation to the dispersal arrangements that
3:57:51 > 3:57:50voluntary, that we want to see. But undermanned by the immigration bill
3:57:51 > 3:57:50currently in the other place. It is these elements on how this is
3:57:51 > 3:57:50implemented that we will continue to have that dialogue and how we can
3:57:51 > 3:57:50learn from the expertise of those authorities that have a greater
3:57:51 > 3:57:50involvement with these issues. During the recess,... And Company
3:57:51 > 3:57:50children being forced to share best space with adults that are not
3:57:51 > 3:57:50related to. That is very troubling and is a serious matter. That the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Home Secretary that the government is doing enough to support the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50children and in the time to step up and do more? We are working very
3:57:51 > 3:57:50closely with the French government. We have had somebody working in the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50conference to speed up the process in relation to those children who
3:57:51 > 3:57:50are identified as having links to family here in the UK. Equally
3:57:51 > 3:57:50different government itself is putting greater support to a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50specific charity to increase awareness and identify to do better
3:57:51 > 3:57:50to give him the help that they require. It is good to see the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Honorable member back in its place. -- in his place. We Home Office
3:57:51 > 3:57:50works closely at ministerial and official level with the Parmesan on
3:57:51 > 3:57:50all significant changes to migration policy. Therefore if we do not have
3:57:51 > 3:57:50been collectively agreed and cannot also welcomed the honourable
3:57:51 > 3:57:50gentleman to this place also. -- cannot. Can I say thank you to all
3:57:51 > 3:57:50colleagues who have sent their messages, while taking my
3:57:51 > 3:57:50involuntary absence. But I am back. And I have to minister to explain
3:57:51 > 3:57:50how it is that his department is putting forward a ?35,000 limit in
3:57:51 > 3:57:50terms of salary level but which will have a detrimental impact in many
3:57:51 > 3:57:50areas where we have a shortage occupation. Can he also explained
3:57:51 > 3:57:50why the initial priority list for jobs did not include NHS nurses? And
3:57:51 > 3:57:50I know from personal experience I was treated by nurses from all over
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the world, including some from the European Union country. And lemon,
3:57:51 > 3:57:50there will be a major problem of recruitment. We cannot provide
3:57:51 > 3:57:50enough nurses already far NHS and if we take away the opportunities for
3:57:51 > 3:57:50NHS Trust in London and elsewhere, we will have major shortages. It is
3:57:51 > 3:57:50great to see him back fighting fraud. On the issue of the 35,000
3:57:51 > 3:57:50threshold, that is to gain settlement for people to extend the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50time in the UK. Would it take to consider advice for the migration
3:57:51 > 3:57:50advisory committee at the time. That was sent back in 2011 and employers
3:57:51 > 3:57:50have five years to prepare for that change. I would also say on the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50list, including nurses and other shortages, are included from that
3:57:51 > 3:57:50requirement. We are taken very careful consideration of the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50independent advice that we have had for the migration committee on the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50support issue. Had the Home Office assessed the impact of the changes
3:57:51 > 3:57:50on the Scottish economy? Isn't it the case that this new target,
3:57:51 > 3:57:50combined with the abolition of work to do, stops Scottish -- Scotland
3:57:51 > 3:57:50from retaining the best at the wall has to offer? Why to prioritising
3:57:51 > 3:57:50political interest "Our economy? That's why to govern. I am afraid
3:57:51 > 3:57:50she had the wrong. The government is very clear that the UK remains open
3:57:51 > 3:57:50for business. I will say to her that we do take a bus on the migration,
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the as experts who have advised against different salary threshold
3:57:51 > 3:57:50in UK countries and regions. Our thresholds are based on UK wide data
3:57:51 > 3:57:50and salaries in Scotland, are slightly higher than the UK average.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50The best apportionments, it may lead to higher salary threshold in
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Scotland. I will answer questions eight, nine,
3:57:51 > 3:57:50an 11 under the order paper together. Let the police commission
3:57:51 > 3:57:50are provided and accountable leadership in making a real
3:57:51 > 3:57:50difference to pollution locally. Overall, PCs have presided over a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50reduction in time of more than a quarter centre introduction. --
3:57:51 > 3:57:50sensor and Jozefzoon. Conservative that the grade that big push across
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Commissioner is putting resources away from rural areas. What
3:57:51 > 3:57:50assurances can be Home Secretary give me the police and crime
3:57:51 > 3:57:50commissioners will be held accountable by the government for
3:57:51 > 3:57:50failure to spend adequately in rural areas? I think one of the changes
3:57:51 > 3:57:50that have been brought about edible gold of Exodus and police and crime
3:57:51 > 3:57:50commissioners is that we have has seen a greater focus on areas on
3:57:51 > 3:57:50brutal crimes, though the national worldwide network -- rule crime. It
3:57:51 > 3:57:50is an issue I was discussing with the PCC end of the palace and
3:57:51 > 3:57:50farming representatives when I was in the mid Wales a few weeks ago. I
3:57:51 > 3:57:50think this is now able in some pleas for serious to assure PTCs are
3:57:51 > 3:57:50planning to write focus on crime, but added that they do have the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50right policing crime commissioners elected. Commissioners provide a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50crucial element to the accountabilities within our, justice
3:57:51 > 3:57:50is done. They assure the public have a direct input into how they local
3:57:51 > 3:57:50suitably. Will the secretary agreed that now is the time to look to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50widen the scope and the work of PCC, to see where else in the, justice
3:57:51 > 3:57:50system they can have contributions? I think he makes a very important
3:57:51 > 3:57:50point. He is right. With how to build police and crime commissioners
3:57:51 > 3:57:50because when we set above, without they have a wider ball. I'm pleased
3:57:51 > 3:57:50to tell my honourable friend of the Lord Chancellor and Justice
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Secretary and I have commission were to look at the issue that he has
3:57:51 > 3:57:50read. What else can it be doing in the, justice system and what other
3:57:51 > 3:57:50responsibilities can do can't to providing better services to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50communities. Crime is down... And managed to get more cards to double
3:57:51 > 3:57:50police officers onto the beat. It is a conservative commission that we
3:57:51 > 3:57:50need to keep crime down 80 by committee say. That's and Kate. I
3:57:51 > 3:57:50commend the work that has been done by John Dwyer at the first place,
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Commissioner for Cheshire. I think he had done excellent job and
3:57:51 > 3:57:50getting and managing the budget well at the same time. Crime is down. I
3:57:51 > 3:57:50think he had done a excellent job. A conservative Commissioner after the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50fifth election will continue to do that excellent job and provide
3:57:51 > 3:57:50excellent service for local people. It is is a aware that in areas such
3:57:51 > 3:57:50as wind and North Wales, the commissioners had to butt of the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50precept more than the rates of inflation to compensate for Tory
3:57:51 > 3:57:50government central cuts? Is that a fair use of taxpayer resources to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50compensate for cuts imposed by this government? He knows well that we
3:57:51 > 3:57:50have protecting budgets. Which is in sharp contrast to the proposals from
3:57:51 > 3:57:50his own province, wanted to cut police budgets by 10%. The Secretary
3:57:51 > 3:57:50might know that we're very pleased our Police Commissioner and West
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Yorkshire. But is she picking up from commissioners the problems with
3:57:51 > 3:57:50intelligence gathering and sorry communities? Due to their language
3:57:51 > 3:57:50and culture, and having great difficulty penetrating organised
3:57:51 > 3:57:50gangs. There are challenges in relation to Dublin with the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50communities with organised gangs. I think there are many ways
3:57:51 > 3:57:50commissioners are finding ways around that. Looking at the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50recruitment policies, looking at how volunteers and special constables
3:57:51 > 3:57:50can be used to assure that the light was still available is a very good
3:57:51 > 3:57:50idea which is being done by some commissioners about the country. --
3:57:51 > 3:57:50around the country. On Friday, the South Yorkshire PCC announced the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50loss of 850 fully staffed because the government cuts. Also lastly,
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the National Crime Agency application to the Home Office for
3:57:51 > 3:57:50support for the hundred 14 victims of child abuse rejected. I would be
3:57:51 > 3:57:50to bring down child sexual exploitation with the government is
3:57:51 > 3:57:50cutting the police resources? That's how are we to bring down. Government
3:57:51 > 3:57:50is protecting police budgets when precept to take into account. We
3:57:51 > 3:57:50have also made money available to the national policing league around
3:57:51 > 3:57:50this issue of child sexual abuse and actualization. And ensuring that the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50National Crime Agency had the resources to do this job. The lady
3:57:51 > 3:57:50has an excellent record in dealing with this issue. Her constituency
3:57:51 > 3:57:50has faced challenging times at a result of this question of child
3:57:51 > 3:57:50sexual exploitation and I can assure her that I and other ministers take
3:57:51 > 3:57:50this issue very seriously. That is why we have done things by setting
3:57:51 > 3:57:50up the inquiry and made money available to the national policing
3:57:51 > 3:57:50click in order to better organise the work that is done in this area.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50The French and UK governments have put in place a programme run by the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50NGO friends is identified but that's a bit of trafficking in the camps
3:57:51 > 3:57:50around Calais. Abdomen onset and pretenses, the company refugee
3:57:51 > 3:57:50children and friends should claim asylum there. That is the best way
3:57:51 > 3:57:50to ensure they receive the protection and support they need. It
3:57:51 > 3:57:50also provides a legal and safe through to the UK for those with
3:57:51 > 3:57:50close families in the UK. As we know from the other questions, there are
3:57:51 > 3:57:50129 missing children who are those most at risk at this kind of
3:57:51 > 3:57:50exploitation. I had a very welcome letter recently from her colleague,
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the Immigration Minister about the situation of children in the camps
3:57:51 > 3:57:50and he said that the cases are being given priority so that the chosen
3:57:51 > 3:57:50candidacy the protection and support that they need and have reunited as
3:57:51 > 3:57:50soon as possible within a close family members in the UK. How many

3:57:51 > 3:57:50on numbers, but I can assure her that the work is taking place and
3:57:51 > 3:57:50any unaccompanied children and friends should claim asylum there

3:57:51 > 3:57:50trafficking substantially, women should agree this is something we
3:57:51 > 3:57:50should be looked at in this country? She takes a cane issue -- cane issue

3:57:51 > 3:57:50government to reconsider the wording and the current bill in relation to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50judicial review? He has great expertise in that area, but I am not
3:57:51 > 3:57:50sure if I agree with the comments he makes. That is a double block and it
3:57:51 > 3:57:50is about necessity and proportionality. He is right to make

3:57:51 > 3:57:50Paris, security of the UK border is up in peoples mind. And to the new
3:57:51 > 3:57:50financial year, and the Home Secretary is still too big to have a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50questions on the budget for the butterfly. A whistle-blower say
3:57:51 > 3:57:50staffer told her we should go to expect front line cuts of 6%. Since
3:57:51 > 3:57:50media reports of this, we had the Home Office have been backpedaling.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50I hope the secretary is backing down because our borders cannot basic
3:57:51 > 3:57:50cuts on the scale. I invite her to clear it up today. What is the
3:57:51 > 3:57:5020,016 - 17 budget for the border force and is it up or down a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50lecture? -- on lecture. I say to him, the Home Office budget was
3:57:51 > 3:57:50published on the cynic would do. It was normal as a leftover. As with
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the rest of the government, individual allocations within
3:57:51 > 3:57:50departments are not within the published. But what matters, he is
3:57:51 > 3:57:50right we have a secure border. That is why we have a confirmation plan
3:57:51 > 3:57:50would border force. Why we have changed border force over the last
3:57:51 > 3:57:50few cures from the dysfunctional United Kingdom borders agency that
3:57:51 > 3:57:50we inherited from the last labor government. They wanted the house

3:57:51 > 3:57:50the house. We know financial chapters in this government don't go
3:57:51 > 3:57:50very well together. What are they trying to hide on the border? I hope
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the delay in publishing the budget is the fact that she is listening to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50us and is backing down on the 6% cut. On another area, where she is

3:57:51 > 3:57:50government indicated last week that it is prepared to move others, but
3:57:51 > 3:57:50I'm worried that they are not far enough. That the secretary agreed

3:57:51 > 3:57:50release from police custody and was she would deliver to amend the crime
3:57:51 > 3:57:50build to this effect? -- work with police. We have been looking at this
3:57:51 > 3:57:50issue. We have decided that we will bring an amendment through to the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50policing and crime bill. It is important that the police continue
3:57:51 > 3:57:50to have a degree of operational judgement about the conditions that
3:57:51 > 3:57:50they wish to put ambulation to Bell. The Taco Bell that he is talking

3:57:51 > 3:57:50so that they would prevent just like that from happening again? I think
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the Honorable gentleman highlights some of the appalling risk that some
3:57:51 > 3:57:50people have put themselves on the two try and get do some of the

3:57:51 > 3:57:50securing our future. Thank you for the monocots of Ruskin. -- reminded
3:57:51 > 3:57:50of. The Home Secretary recently said that the conservative government has
3:57:51 > 3:57:50protected police funding for the next four years. However, the chair
3:57:51 > 3:57:50of the UK Statistics Authority has confirmed the House of Commons
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Library search, which shows that forces are saying ?160 million cuts
3:57:51 > 3:57:50next year alone. And a lot of this, and with the importance of the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50upcoming elections, with the Home Secretary admit that funding for our
3:57:51 > 3:57:50police forces have not been protected and is being cut again for
3:57:51 > 3:57:50each of the next four years? But we can save -- say if you take the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50precept that they are protected. The one person not listen to what the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Labour Party, and the Minister because he wanted to cut it by 10%.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Had he outlined what successive government has had Amber to month

3:57:51 > 3:57:50motives of terrorist, paedophile, he did whatever occurs may differ but
3:57:51 > 3:57:50there may did the same and to take advantage of the Internet. This bill
3:57:51 > 3:57:50will provide power to the police that is necessary to keep us safe.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Powerful new measures, determination, and an hybrid will
3:57:51 > 3:57:50mark I would do. I noticed an issue the honourable
3:57:51 > 3:57:50gentleman has raised previously and I am very happy to continue to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50discuss this with him in the all party elementary group, clearly
3:57:51 > 3:57:50there are other mechanisms that are available but we will continue to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50ensure the high-quality visa service. He is right that police are
3:57:51 > 3:57:50given more powers in relation to stop and search, in the bill, but
3:57:51 > 3:57:50with greater power should, greater responsibility. Can the Home
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Secretary confirmed the house that proper safeguards will remain in
3:57:51 > 3:57:50place to ensure the police will have the support of the general public? I
3:57:51 > 3:57:50am happy to give that assurance, but there realistic -- relation to the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50powers bill at the double lock that will be available to the most
3:57:51 > 3:57:50intrusive powers but also the work that we have done introducing stop
3:57:51 > 3:57:50and search, to ensure stop and search is properly used and
3:57:51 > 3:57:50targeted, and the work we have done the Chief Constable David Shaw to
3:57:51 > 3:57:50identify how better Tatars are being used and restraint are being used.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50The police need the sensitive powers. Over the past 12 months a
3:57:51 > 3:57:50further 39 police officers have been lost from any field street while
3:57:51 > 3:57:50violent crime including assault and possession of it dangerous weapon
3:57:51 > 3:57:50has increased by 13%. Ten days ago there was an attempted drive-by
3:57:51 > 3:57:50shooting in my constituency. This situation and a London suburb is
3:57:51 > 3:57:50very frightening. Neighborhood policing is putting public safety at
3:57:51 > 3:57:50risk. But does the Minister intend to do about the situation? We're
3:57:51 > 3:57:50going to make sure that Metropolitan Police got the funding that they are
3:57:51 > 3:57:50asking for, not cut funding by 10% that the Labour Party ask for.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50Neighborhood policing is a matter for the commissioner and the mayor.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50If you look at the statistics, if you want more police on the beat

3:57:51 > 3:57:50protection across our borders, such as project cracking, when my
3:57:51 > 3:57:50honourable friend confirm that this is protected under current reforms?
3:57:51 > 3:57:50My honourable friend raises a very important point and shows the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50variety of tasks and skills and operation capabilities that our
3:57:51 > 3:57:50police force need. Requirements in Hampshire in relation to the Marine.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50To determine how they spend the budget and what they do that on.
3:57:51 > 3:57:50What is crucial is that my right honourable friend the Chancellor has
3:57:51 > 3:57:50insured that we can't protect place budgets when it is taken into
3:57:51 > 3:57:50account of the next four years. Two weeks ago one for my colleagues and
3:57:51 > 3:57:50I were in Calais, the French authorities tear gassed the camp
3:57:51 > 3:57:50David because a protest was going on outside the camp,. Does she approve
3:57:51 > 3:57:50the measures and as she agreed with me that refugees should be treated
3:57:51 > 3:57:50humanely, will she contact the French counterpart express the
3:57:51 > 3:57:50concerns of this Parliament? I was in Calle last week having
3:57:51 > 3:57:50discussions with the French authorities and relation to these
3:57:51 > 3:57:50issues, and a very clear message is that those who are there should
3:57:51 > 3:57:50claim asylum, that is the best and most effective way to get the help
3:57:51 > 3:57:50they need. Statement, the Prime Minister. Thank you Mr Speaker.
