:00:00. > :00:00.of every government department making sure that all consultations
:00:00. > :00:00.are made at that time and we make due allowance for any difficulties
:00:07. > :00:27.that may come forward. It is right our whole country should
:00:28. > :00:34.stand together to remember the darkest hour of our country. Last
:00:35. > :00:38.year, I said we would build a national memorial in London to show
:00:39. > :00:44.the importance Britain places on sharing the memory of the Holocaust.
:00:45. > :00:46.This will be built in Victoria Tower Gardens and will stand beside
:00:47. > :00:51.Parliament as a permanent statement of our values and will be somewhere
:00:52. > :00:55.for children to visit for generations to come. I am grateful
:00:56. > :01:00.to all those who have made this possible. This morning I had
:01:01. > :01:04.meetings with ministerial colleagues and others and in addition to my
:01:05. > :01:11.duties in this house I shall have further such meetings later today. I
:01:12. > :01:15.echo the Prime Minister's sentiments regarding Holocaust Memorial Day. We
:01:16. > :01:23.must never forget. The North Sea or an industry on which many people in
:01:24. > :01:25.my constituency are dependent for their livelihoods is facing very
:01:26. > :01:32.serious challenges at the current time. The government has taken steps
:01:33. > :01:39.to address the situation, but more is required if the industry is to
:01:40. > :01:42.survive and thrive. Will my right honourable friend assuming that he
:01:43. > :01:46.recognises the seriousness of the situation and he will do all he can
:01:47. > :01:53.to get the industry through these very difficult times? My honourable
:01:54. > :01:57.friend is right to raise this, I recognise the seriousness of the
:01:58. > :02:01.situation. The oil price decline is the longest in 20 years and this
:02:02. > :02:07.causes difficulties for the North Sea and we can see the effects in
:02:08. > :02:10.the east of England, in Scotland, particularly Aberdeen. I am
:02:11. > :02:19.determined we build a bridge to the future for all those involved in the
:02:20. > :02:23.North Sea. We will help the world-class sector export expertise.
:02:24. > :02:27.We announced 1.3 billion of support last year and we are implementing a
:02:28. > :02:31.review and I will be going to Aberdeen tomorrow where we will be
:02:32. > :02:37.saying more about what we can do to help this vital industry at this
:02:38. > :02:44.vital time. Jeremy Corbyn. Thank you, Mr Speaker. On behalf of the
:02:45. > :02:48.opposition, could I welcome the remarks the Prime Minister has just
:02:49. > :02:54.made about Holocaust Memorial Day. It is the 71st anniversary of the
:02:55. > :02:58.liberation of Auschwitz and we have to remember the deepest, darkest
:02:59. > :03:03.days of inhumanity that happened then and genocides that have
:03:04. > :03:06.happened since and educate another generation to avoid those for all
:03:07. > :03:12.time in the future. I thank the Prime Minister for what he said.
:03:13. > :03:18.Independent experts have suggested that Google is paying an effective
:03:19. > :03:24.tax rate on its UK profits of around 3%. Does the Prime Minister dispute
:03:25. > :03:29.that figure? Let's be clear what we are talking about. We are talking
:03:30. > :03:33.about tax that should have been collected under a Labour government,
:03:34. > :03:38.raised by a Conservative government. I do dispute the figures he gives.
:03:39. > :03:44.It is quite rightly that this is done independently by HMRC, but I am
:03:45. > :03:49.absolutely clear that no government has done more than this one to crack
:03:50. > :03:52.down on tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance. No government, and
:03:53. > :03:59.certainly not the last Labour government. Mr Speaker, my question
:04:00. > :04:06.actually was if the Prime Minister thinks an effective tax rate of 3%
:04:07. > :04:11.is right or wrong? He did not answer it. The Chancellor of the Exchequer
:04:12. > :04:14.described this arrangement as a major success, while the Prime
:04:15. > :04:21.Minister's official spokesperson only called it a step forward. The
:04:22. > :04:27.Mayor of London described the payment is quite derisory. What
:04:28. > :04:33.exactly is the government's position on this 3% rate of taxation? We have
:04:34. > :04:38.put in place a diverted profits tax which means this company and others
:04:39. > :04:44.will pay more tax in future. More tax in future than they ever paid
:04:45. > :04:49.under Labour were the tax rate for Google was 0%. That is what it
:04:50. > :04:55.means. Let me tell him what we have done. We have changed the tax law so
:04:56. > :04:59.many times that we have raised an extra 100 billion from business in
:05:00. > :05:05.the last parliament. When I came to power banks did not pay tax on all
:05:06. > :05:10.their profits, allowed under Labour, stopped under the Tories. Companies
:05:11. > :05:13.could cut their tax bill, allowed under Labour, stopped under the
:05:14. > :05:19.Tories. Companies could figure accounting rules, allowed under
:05:20. > :05:24.Labour and stopped under the Tories. We have done more on tax evasion and
:05:25. > :05:32.tax avoidance and Labour ever did. They are running to catch up, but
:05:33. > :05:35.they have not got a leg to stand on. Mr Speaker, it was under a Labour
:05:36. > :05:46.government that the inquiry began into Google and in addition as a
:05:47. > :05:48.percentage of GDP corporation tax receipts are lower under this
:05:49. > :05:56.government than they were under previous governments. I have got a
:05:57. > :06:03.question here, Mr Speaker, from a gentleman called Jeff. You might
:06:04. > :06:13.well laugh, but Jeff actually speaks for millions of people when he says
:06:14. > :06:17.to me... Can you ask the Prime Minister is as a working man of over
:06:18. > :06:23.30 years whether there is a scheme that I can join that pays the same
:06:24. > :06:27.rate of tax as Google and other large corporations? What does the
:06:28. > :06:32.Prime Minister say to Jeff? What I say to Jeff is that his taxes are
:06:33. > :06:38.coming down under this government and Google's taxes are going up
:06:39. > :06:43.under this government. Let me say something, something he just said
:06:44. > :06:47.was factually inaccurate. He says corporation tax receipts have gone
:06:48. > :06:52.down, they have gone up by 20% under this government because we have got
:06:53. > :06:57.a strong economy with businesses making money, employing people and
:06:58. > :07:01.paying taxes into the exchequer. If like me he is genuinely angry about
:07:02. > :07:06.what happened to Google under Labour, maybe he should start by
:07:07. > :07:12.calling Tony Blair. You can get him and JP Morgan. Call Gordon Brown,
:07:13. > :07:18.you can get him at a Californian bond dealer. Alistair Darling is at
:07:19. > :07:21.Morgan Stanley. There is other people to blame for Google not
:07:22. > :07:34.paying their taxes. We are the ones who got them to pay. The problem is,
:07:35. > :07:37.Mr Speaker, that the Prime Minister is responsible for government and
:07:38. > :07:47.therefore is responsible for tax collection. Mr Speaker, Google made
:07:48. > :07:54.profits of ?6 billion in the UK between 2005 and 2015 and is paying
:07:55. > :08:01.130 million pounds in tax for the whole of that decade. Millions of
:08:02. > :08:06.people this week I'm filling in their tax returns to get them in by
:08:07. > :08:12.the 31st. They have to send the form back, they do not get the option of
:08:13. > :08:19.25 meetings with 17 ministers to decide what their rate of tax is.
:08:20. > :08:24.Many people going to their HMRC offices or returning them online
:08:25. > :08:29.this week will say this, why is there one rule for big multinational
:08:30. > :08:34.companies and another for ordinary, small businesses and self-employed
:08:35. > :08:39.workers? All those people filling in their tax returns will be paying
:08:40. > :08:46.lower taxes under this government. I have to say, he can if he wants
:08:47. > :08:49.criticise HMRC, but their work is investigated by the National Audit
:08:50. > :08:53.Office and when they did that they've found the settlements they
:08:54. > :08:58.reached with companies are fair. That is how it works. The Shadow
:08:59. > :09:02.Chancellor is pointing. The idea that those two right honourable
:09:03. > :09:07.gentleman would stand up to anyone in this regard is laughable. This
:09:08. > :09:11.week they met with the unions and they gave them flying pickets. They
:09:12. > :09:16.met with the Argentinians and they gave them the Falkland islands. They
:09:17. > :09:21.met with a bunch of migrants in Calais and said they could come to
:09:22. > :09:33.Britain. They never stand up for the hard-working British people and
:09:34. > :09:40.British taxpayers. Mr Speaker, we have had no answers on Google, we
:09:41. > :09:49.have had no answers on Jeff, can I raise with him another unfair tax
:09:50. > :09:53.policy that does it affect many people in this country? This
:09:54. > :09:58.morning, the Court of Appeal ruled that the bedroom tax is
:09:59. > :10:03.discriminatory because of its impact... I do not know why members
:10:04. > :10:09.opposite find this funny because it is not for those who have to pay it.
:10:10. > :10:15.The ruling is because of its impact on vulnerable people, including
:10:16. > :10:20.victims of domestic violence and disabled children. Will the Prime
:10:21. > :10:23.Minister now read the judgment and finally abandon this cruel and
:10:24. > :10:30.unjust policy which has now been ruled to be illegal? We always look
:10:31. > :10:34.very carefully at judgment on these occasions, but our fundamental
:10:35. > :10:38.position is that it is unfair to subsidise their rooms in the social
:10:39. > :10:43.sector if you do not subsidise them in the private sector where people
:10:44. > :10:48.are paying housing benefit. That is a basic issue of fairness. It is
:10:49. > :10:54.interesting that the first played he makes is something that could cost
:10:55. > :10:59.as much as ?2.5 billion in the next Parliament. Who will pay for that?
:11:00. > :11:06.Jeff will pay for it. People handing in their tax returns will pay for
:11:07. > :11:08.it. Why is it he wants to see more welfare, higher taxes, more
:11:09. > :11:14.borrowing, all the things that got us into the mess in the first place?
:11:15. > :11:20.We have not had any answers on Google or the bedroom tax. I ask the
:11:21. > :11:24.Prime Minister this, shortly before coming into the chamber I became
:11:25. > :11:28.aware of the final report of the United Nations panel of experts on
:11:29. > :11:34.Yemen which has been sent to the government and it makes disturbing
:11:35. > :11:38.reading. It says, I quote, it has documented that coalition forces
:11:39. > :11:43.have conducted air strikes, targeting civilians and civilian
:11:44. > :11:47.objects in violation of international humanitarian law,
:11:48. > :11:51.including cabs for internally displaced persons, civilian
:11:52. > :11:56.residential areas, medical facilities, schools and mosques.
:11:57. > :11:59.This is a disturbing report. Will the Prime Minister launched
:12:00. > :12:04.immediately and inquiry and a full review into the arms export licences
:12:05. > :12:10.to Saudi Arabia and suspend those arms sales until that review has
:12:11. > :12:14.been concluded? We have the strictest rules for arms exports of
:12:15. > :12:20.almost any country anywhere in the world. We are not a member of the
:12:21. > :12:24.Saudi led coalition. We are not involved in their operations,
:12:25. > :12:29.British personnel are not involved in carrying out strikes. I will look
:12:30. > :12:33.at this report as I looked at all other reports, but arms exports are
:12:34. > :12:37.carefully controlled and we are backing the legitimate government of
:12:38. > :12:41.the Yemen not least because terrorist attacks planned in the
:12:42. > :12:45.Yemen would have a direct effect on people in our country. I refuse to
:12:46. > :12:49.run a foreign policy by press release, which is what he wants, I
:12:50. > :12:55.want one in the interests of the British people.
:12:56. > :13:01.The explosion of spurious legal claims against British troops
:13:02. > :13:06.including those pursued by a law firm who has contributed tens of
:13:07. > :13:11.thousands of pounds to the Shadow Defence Secretary, undermine the
:13:12. > :13:15.ability of our Armed Forces to do their job. Will the Prime Minister
:13:16. > :13:23.join me in repudiating the disdain this shows that our brave service
:13:24. > :13:28.women and men? I absolutely agree with my honourable friend. We hold
:13:29. > :13:31.our service personnel to the highest standards, and that is right, but it
:13:32. > :13:36.is quite clear there is now an industry trying to profit by
:13:37. > :13:40.spurious claims. I am determined to do everything we can to close this
:13:41. > :13:45.bogus industry down and we should start by making clear we will take
:13:46. > :13:48.action against any legal firm we fight to abuse the system to pursue
:13:49. > :13:56.is fabricated claims. That is absolutely not acceptable. May I
:13:57. > :13:59.begin by associating the Scottish national party with the comments of
:14:00. > :14:04.the Prime Minister in reference to the Holocaust Memorial Day, and I
:14:05. > :14:07.commend governments across the UK for supporting the Holocaust
:14:08. > :14:10.commemoration trust. Does the prime ministers agreed that there is no
:14:11. > :14:15.justification for discrimination or and fairness towards women in the
:14:16. > :14:22.private sector, public sector or by government? Let me welcome what the
:14:23. > :14:26.right honourable gentleman says about the Holocaust educational
:14:27. > :14:29.trust. I remember as a new constituency MP meeting them and
:14:30. > :14:33.seeing the work they were doing in my constituency. They work hard
:14:34. > :14:37.around the clock. This day is particularly important for them. I
:14:38. > :14:39.would urge colleagues who haven't visited Auschwitz, it is something
:14:40. > :14:44.you will never forget, no matter what you have read or films you have
:14:45. > :14:49.seen or books you have read, there is nothing like seeing for yourself.
:14:50. > :14:54.In terms of wanting to end discrimination against women in the
:14:55. > :14:58.public sector, private sector, and in politics, absolutely. I welcome
:14:59. > :15:04.what the Prime Minister has to say on both accounts. He is aware of the
:15:05. > :15:08.state pension inequality which is impacting on many women and that
:15:09. > :15:12.this parliament voted unanimously for the government to immediately
:15:13. > :15:18.introduce transitional arrangements for those women negatively affected
:15:19. > :15:21.by pension equalisation. What is the Prime Minister going to do to
:15:22. > :15:26.respect the decision of this parliament and help those women who
:15:27. > :15:31.are affected, those born in the 1950s, who should have had proper
:15:32. > :15:35.notice to plan their finances and retirement? First of all, the
:15:36. > :15:40.equalisation of the retirement age came about on the basis of equality,
:15:41. > :15:45.which was a judgment by the European court that we put in place in the
:15:46. > :15:49.90s. When this government decided, rightly in my view, to raise the
:15:50. > :15:53.retirement age, we made the decision that nobody should suffer a greater
:15:54. > :15:57.than 18 month increase in their retirement age, and that is the
:15:58. > :16:02.decision this else took. In terms of ending discrimination in the system,
:16:03. > :16:08.I would say that the introduction of the single tier pension, at ?165 a
:16:09. > :16:11.week, is one of the best ways we can end discrimination because so many
:16:12. > :16:15.who are retiring will get much more under this pension which, under this
:16:16. > :16:22.government, is triple lock protected, so they will get
:16:23. > :16:28.inflation earnings or 2.5% and never again a derisory increase. Our
:16:29. > :16:32.prisons could still beat centres of radicalisation. We'll be Prime
:16:33. > :16:37.Minister look at all measures including those from the all-party
:16:38. > :16:42.report on preventing young people, troubled young people, from falling
:16:43. > :16:47.into the jaws of these dangerous, screwed up, predatory extremists? It
:16:48. > :16:51.is very disturbing that, when people are in our care, when the state is
:16:52. > :16:55.looking after them, that, on occasion, they have been radicalised
:16:56. > :17:00.because of what they have erred in prison, either from other prisoners
:17:01. > :17:05.or perhaps, on occasion, from visiting imams. We need to sort the
:17:06. > :17:09.situation out. The Justice Secretary has put in place a review. I will
:17:10. > :17:14.look carefully at her report. We must look at making sure that
:17:15. > :17:20.prisoners and the radicalise rather than made worse. Since the
:17:21. > :17:25.Chancellor took control of the public purse, he has utterly failed
:17:26. > :17:29.to get the deficit under control, and to date this year he has
:17:30. > :17:38.borrowed over ?74 billion to plug the gap or, to use the vernacular
:17:39. > :17:40.that his party is bond, for a hypothetical independent Scotland, a
:17:41. > :17:49.monumental black hole in his books. Is he now likely to reach the target
:17:50. > :17:56.by the year of something in the region of ?9 billion? Will the Prime
:17:57. > :18:00.Minister finally concede... SHOUTING
:18:01. > :18:04.I don't wish to be an guide to the honourable lady, but I think we have
:18:05. > :18:08.got the gist. SHOUTING
:18:09. > :18:13.That was a polite way of saying that the honourable lady had concluded. I
:18:14. > :18:17.would say that the Chancellor and the economic strategy this
:18:18. > :18:20.government has pursued as cut the deficit in half from the record
:18:21. > :18:24.level we inherited and soon it will be down by two thirds. We are
:18:25. > :18:29.meeting what we want to see in terms of debt falling as a share of GDP.
:18:30. > :18:32.What a contrast with a situation which Scotland would be facing if
:18:33. > :18:40.Scotland had voted for independence in just six weeks' time. We have
:18:41. > :18:43.actually seen a collapse of 94% of oil revenues. Because we have the
:18:44. > :18:48.broad shoulders of the UK, that collapsed in the oil price and the
:18:49. > :18:53.taxation won't affect people in Scotland but, at Scotland dream
:18:54. > :19:00.independent, it would be a very dark day indeed. -- had Scotland been
:19:01. > :19:04.independent. I recently helped a mental health -- mental health forum
:19:05. > :19:06.where I broad service users and commissioners together to explore
:19:07. > :19:11.how we could improve mental health services. And I welcome the Prime
:19:12. > :19:15.Minister's Wiese and announcement on increased funding for mental health
:19:16. > :19:23.services? -- recent announcement. His commitments are a clear
:19:24. > :19:26.indication of our desire to have a revolution in mental health services
:19:27. > :19:32.in Britain, and he has delivered some commitments on that. I am
:19:33. > :19:35.grateful to what my honourable friend says. There is further to go
:19:36. > :19:41.by this government is investing more in mental health, we have introduced
:19:42. > :19:44.waiting times. Young people suffering episodes of psychosis
:19:45. > :19:49.should be seen within two weeks. There is funding, parity of esteem,
:19:50. > :19:54.waiting time, but there also needs to be a bigger culture change, not
:19:55. > :19:56.just in the NHS but across the public and private sectors so mental
:19:57. > :20:03.health commissions are given the attention they deserve. From this
:20:04. > :20:07.April, a woman who works full-time stands to lose thousands of pounds
:20:08. > :20:11.in tax credits if she becomes pregnant with her first child. When
:20:12. > :20:17.will this prime ministers stop attacking working people? Forwarding
:20:18. > :20:21.like that, we are making sure that this year they can earn ?11,000
:20:22. > :20:26.without paying any income tax. If they are on low wages, the minimum
:20:27. > :20:32.wage, they get a 7% pay increase because of the national living wage.
:20:33. > :20:35.For the first time, there will be 30 hours of free childcare for those
:20:36. > :20:39.people. That is what we are doing for hard-working people. Do we need
:20:40. > :20:44.to look at reforming welfare? Yes, we do. If the honourable gentleman
:20:45. > :20:48.read the report into why his party lost the election, not the one that
:20:49. > :20:53.they published, the secret one that we read over the weekend, it is by
:20:54. > :20:57.endlessly arguing for higher and higher welfare the British public
:20:58. > :21:04.rightly concluded that, under Labour, there would be higher taxes.
:21:05. > :21:08.I warmly welcome the Prime Minister's words on creating a
:21:09. > :21:12.national memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. Tonight in Harrow,
:21:13. > :21:16.representatives of the whole community will come together to
:21:17. > :21:20.listen to be people who survived the Holocaust, because that is the only
:21:21. > :21:24.way we can really preserve their memory. My right honourable friend
:21:25. > :21:27.is rightly alluded to the wonderful work of the Holocaust educational
:21:28. > :21:31.trust in allowing literally thousands of young people to visit
:21:32. > :21:37.Auschwitz and see for themselves first-hand. Will he commit the
:21:38. > :21:40.government to continue funding the Holocaust educational trust so that
:21:41. > :21:45.many thousands more can see the horrors of the Holocaust? I
:21:46. > :21:49.certainly can make that commitment. We have funded it by over ?10
:21:50. > :21:55.million since I became Prime Minister. It does excellent work. I
:21:56. > :21:57.think there is a real need now, as tragically the remaining Holocaust
:21:58. > :22:02.survivors are coming to the end of their lives, many of them are now
:22:03. > :22:05.speaking up in the most moving and powerful way. I will be sending some
:22:06. > :22:11.time today with some of them, recording their test dummies, which
:22:12. > :22:23.must be part of our memorial -- testimonies, we must capture that
:22:24. > :22:25.for generations to come. In 2013, the energy and climate change select
:22:26. > :22:29.committee recommended extending the retention of business rates to
:22:30. > :22:32.include new build nuclear power stations. The centre for nuclear
:22:33. > :22:39.excellence is in my constituency and the new build is a vital for our
:22:40. > :22:42.economic prosperity. Given the government cuts to Cumbrian
:22:43. > :22:46.councils, does the Prime Minister agree that, if we are to truly build
:22:47. > :22:56.a northern powerhouse, our local authorities must retain all from
:22:57. > :22:59.nuclear new-build? We are committed to the new nuclear industry. We are
:23:00. > :23:03.obviously making good progress with Hinkley Point but we need to see
:23:04. > :23:08.another big station go ahead. I will look carefully at what she says
:23:09. > :23:12.about business rate retention and business rates more broadly, but the
:23:13. > :23:14.most important thing is to have an energy infrastructure that allows
:23:15. > :23:23.for the delivery of new nuclear power stations. That is the position
:23:24. > :23:29.on this side of the house. A closed question. This government is
:23:30. > :23:33.committed to regenerating coastal towns and ensuring that everybody,
:23:34. > :23:40.regardless of where they live, as access to high quality public
:23:41. > :23:50.services and the best opportunities. On this question, Ian Paisley. I beg
:23:51. > :23:56.your pardon, Mr Vickers first. I thank the Prime Minister for his
:23:57. > :24:00.reply and I recognised the initiatives that the government has
:24:01. > :24:02.taken. He will know that many coastal towns like Cleethorpes
:24:03. > :24:08.suffer from poor educational standards. We have many high
:24:09. > :24:12.performing academies who are trying to reverse that and to ensure that
:24:13. > :24:15.our young people have access to sports, arts and culture at the
:24:16. > :24:20.highest level. The council are currently preparing a report with
:24:21. > :24:26.the private sector. Will he commit the government to work with the
:24:27. > :24:30.council to deliver regeneration to Cleethorpes? Nobody could silence
:24:31. > :24:33.the voice of the number! I think my honourable friend is right and I am
:24:34. > :24:41.happy to look at that proposal with him. We have to make sure we tackle
:24:42. > :24:45.both failing schools and coastal schools, and there are some in
:24:46. > :24:49.coastal areas. One of the issues is making sure we get talented teachers
:24:50. > :24:58.and leaders into those schools, and that is what the national leaders of
:24:59. > :25:02.education service is all about. Wratten Island is the only inhabited
:25:03. > :25:08.coastal village town in my constituency. No British Prime
:25:09. > :25:14.Minister has ever had the privilege to visit. I hope that the Prime
:25:15. > :25:19.Minister will make a plan to visit, which has considerable economic
:25:20. > :25:25.needs. I am the first British by Minister to visit many parts of the
:25:26. > :25:30.country. The first to go to Shetland! I fear that, if I were to
:25:31. > :25:35.visit, many people might like me to stay there. But I will bear it in
:25:36. > :25:40.mind. Rugby is the fastest growing town in the West Midlands with work
:25:41. > :25:45.underway to provide 6200 much-needed new homes at the Rugby radio site,
:25:46. > :25:47.but my constituents are keen to ensure that public services keep
:25:48. > :25:52.pace with developers and particularly to seek more services
:25:53. > :25:56.at the local hospital. Does the prime ministers agreed with the NHS
:25:57. > :26:02.chief executive that district hospitals such as this play an
:26:03. > :26:05.excellent role in the NHS? I am a believer in district general
:26:06. > :26:10.hospitals and I know what a strong support of Saint Crossed he is. I
:26:11. > :26:16.know there is a dedicated outpatient facility there. We are going to
:26:17. > :26:20.achieve these very aggressive house-building targets that we put
:26:21. > :26:25.forward, there will be more houses built in most our constituencies. As
:26:26. > :26:29.far as we can, we will try to welcome that, that is important, and
:26:30. > :26:35.to make sure that the infrastructure is provided. Not everybody is as
:26:36. > :26:40.satisfied as the Chancellor with what, for Google, is loose change to
:26:41. > :26:45.cover their tax liabilities. On Monday, the honourable member for
:26:46. > :26:50.ABBA valley called on the government to make companies publish their tax
:26:51. > :26:56.returns. In that way, we can all see how they make the journey from their
:26:57. > :26:59.tax profits to their tax bill. Does the Prime Minister agree? I want to
:27:00. > :27:03.wonder whether the right honourable lady whether raised this issue when
:27:04. > :27:08.she sat in the Labour cabinet, when Google were paying no tax. What we
:27:09. > :27:13.have is a situation where we make the rules in this house and where
:27:14. > :27:20.HMAC ether to enforce them. That is the system that we need to make
:27:21. > :27:25.work. -- H MRC. As cancer survival rates continue to improve, and given
:27:26. > :27:30.that this is cancer talk week, will my right honourable friend join me
:27:31. > :27:37.in welcoming a new state cancer information centre due to enter at
:27:38. > :27:43.Royal Bolton hospital, and praise the commitment of Midland cancer
:27:44. > :27:50.care, Bolton hospice, and the local cancer commissioning group, who are
:27:51. > :27:54.all making this happening is to mark --? Everybody in this house knows a
:27:55. > :27:59.family member who has been touched by cancer. The good news is that
:28:00. > :28:02.cancer survival rates are improving. We need to make sure they improve
:28:03. > :28:07.across all cancers, not just the best-known ones. What he says is
:28:08. > :28:11.that this is not just an issue for the NHS but all of those because IT
:28:12. > :28:22.bodies which also want to campaign and act on helping cancer sufferers.
:28:23. > :28:25.--. In 2014I wrote to the Prime Minister asking him to join the
:28:26. > :28:29.Scottish Government and Highland Council in taking forward a city
:28:30. > :28:35.deal for Inverness. Highland Council have submitted a detailed plan on
:28:36. > :28:39.the region for young people. Will be Prime Minister committed to giving
:28:40. > :28:43.this the green light in the coming weeks? We are committed to examining
:28:44. > :28:46.the city deal with Inverness, as we have made good progress with
:28:47. > :28:50.Aberdeen. I think these bring together the best of what the
:28:51. > :28:54.Scottish Government can put on the table but also the best of what the
:28:55. > :28:57.UK Government can put on the table because, without wanting to be too
:28:58. > :29:02.political, the two governments working together can do even more.
:29:03. > :29:11.Could I thank the Prime Minister for meeting the deposed mould even Prime
:29:12. > :29:15.Minister -- president on Saturday? Will he work towards an
:29:16. > :29:22.international consensus on targeted sanctions so that the regime of the
:29:23. > :29:26.Maldives may reconsider their appalling human rights record and
:29:27. > :29:30.their record on democracy? It was an honour to meet with the former
:29:31. > :29:33.president, who I think did an excellent job for his country in
:29:34. > :29:38.cutting out corruption and turning that country around. He suffered
:29:39. > :29:41.terribly by being in prison and it is good that he is able to get out
:29:42. > :29:45.to seek medical treatment, but we want to see a change in behaviour
:29:46. > :29:51.from the government of the Maldives, to make sure political prisoners are
:29:52. > :29:54.set free, and we are prepared to consider targeted action against
:29:55. > :29:59.individuals if progress isn't made. Let's hope that diplomatic efforts
:30:00. > :30:05.will lead to the changes we want to see, but Britain, and our allies,
:30:06. > :30:13.including Sri Lanka and India, watching situation carefully. 46% of
:30:14. > :30:18.five-year-old children in Bradford suffer from dental decay compared
:30:19. > :30:22.with 28% across England, and less than half the children living in
:30:23. > :30:27.Bradford district has seen a dentist in the last two years. Given the
:30:28. > :30:33.cost of treating toothpick care -- tooth decay, they exceed the cost of
:30:34. > :30:39.prevention, would the Prime Minister look at dental provision in the
:30:40. > :30:43.area? If you take a view across the country, before 2010, we had huge
:30:44. > :30:47.queues around the block when a new NHS dentist turned up was there were
:30:48. > :30:52.not enough. They may not and shake their heads, but that is what
:30:53. > :30:57.happened. Some of us can remember. We have seen a big increase in NHS
:30:58. > :31:02.dentistry, but I will look carefully at the situation in Bradford. As my
:31:03. > :31:08.right honourable friend knows, a task force is set to deliver its
:31:09. > :31:11.report on a resilient railway to Devon and Cornwall. Would the Prime
:31:12. > :31:14.Minister be prepared to meet with me and a number of colleagues to make
:31:15. > :31:18.sure that Network Rail and the task force is enough for two studies, the
:31:19. > :31:23.electrification of the line and the reduction in journey time is
:31:24. > :31:27.necessary to do this? I had an excellent meeting with the south
:31:28. > :31:30.coast -- south-west peninsula task force and I will make sure that I
:31:31. > :31:34.continue to liaise closely with them. We need to find an answer and
:31:35. > :31:40.we need to find the funding. We can't have happen what happened in
:31:41. > :31:47.the past, where a problem on our Railways led to the peninsula being
:31:48. > :31:50.cut off. Would be Prime Minister join me in congratulating my
:31:51. > :31:54.constituents, Dominic and Rebecca from Mitcham, on the birth of their
:31:55. > :31:58.daughter, Alice. Like every parents, they want their daughter to have
:31:59. > :32:04.better opportunities than they had but, with average London house
:32:05. > :32:08.prices increasing by ?40,000 in 2013 alone, and the average house in
:32:09. > :32:12.London being now worth over half ?1 million, does he understand their
:32:13. > :32:17.fears and Alice will never have the chance they had to buy her own home
:32:18. > :32:22.in the area she was born in? I want to help Alice and many like her get
:32:23. > :32:26.on the housing ladder, which is why we are introducing shared ownership,
:32:27. > :32:30.which brings housing in reach of many more people. It is why we have
:32:31. > :32:35.helped by London, which is twice as generous as the rest of the country.
:32:36. > :32:39.It is why we selling off the most expensive council houses and
:32:40. > :32:44.rebuilding more affordable homes. -- help to buy London. These are all
:32:45. > :32:46.under the guidance and drive of Zac Goldsmith, who will make an
:32:47. > :32:52.excellent... SHOUTING
:32:53. > :32:55.That is the best chance of a home, to have a Conservative mayor and a
:32:56. > :33:05.Conservative government working hand in glove. Someone experiencing a
:33:06. > :33:08.mental health crisis who goes in desperation to A needs prompt
:33:09. > :33:15.specialist help. Can I welcome my right honourable friend's
:33:16. > :33:21.recognition of psychiatric liaison? Does he agree that 20 47 psychiatric
:33:22. > :33:28.liaison in A is an important step towards self-esteem? We are seeing
:33:29. > :33:32.more mental health and psychiatric liaison in our A We need
:33:33. > :33:36.overtime to see it in all. So often people are arriving not in the right
:33:37. > :33:40.setting, where they should be looking after. Whether it is getting
:33:41. > :33:45.people with mental health conditions out of police cells or making sure
:33:46. > :33:48.they are treated properly in prison or, crucially, when they arrived in
:33:49. > :33:54.A, make sure they get this treatment is very much part of our
:33:55. > :33:57.plan. I commend the Prime Minister for his remarks about Holocaust
:33:58. > :34:01.Memorial Day. In honouring the memory of those murdered by the
:34:02. > :34:06.Nazis, we provide the best candidate to extremism and anti-Semitism
:34:07. > :34:10.anti-Semitism in our age. The biggest challenge Europe today is
:34:11. > :34:16.the predicted 3 million refugees who will flood into Europe. Does he
:34:17. > :34:20.agree that the only way to challenge a crisis of that magnitude is by
:34:21. > :34:25.starting working with our European colleagues at the heart of a united
:34:26. > :34:29.Europe? Would you take this opportunity to welcome in and
:34:30. > :34:35.provide a home for the 3000 unaccompanied children, as
:34:36. > :34:38.recommended by save the children? Where I agree with the right
:34:39. > :34:42.honourable gentleman is the importance of taking action to help
:34:43. > :34:51.with this crisis. No country in Europe has been more generous than
:34:52. > :34:55.Britain in funding refugees, whether they are in Syria, Turkey, Lebanon
:34:56. > :35:00.or Jordan. Where I don't agree with the right honourable gentleman is
:35:01. > :35:04.thinking that the right answer is for Britain to opt into the EU
:35:05. > :35:08.relocation and resettlement schemes. Let me tell him as for why. We said
:35:09. > :35:14.we will resettle 20,000 people in our country. We promised 1000 by
:35:15. > :35:19.Christmas. Because of the hard work of the honourable member for
:35:20. > :35:24.Watford, we achieved that. If you add up all that Europe has done
:35:25. > :35:30.under its relocation scheme and its recent resettlement scheme, they
:35:31. > :35:36.have done less than we have done in the UK. Yes, we should take part in
:35:37. > :35:40.European schemes when it is in our interests, helped to secure the
:35:41. > :35:44.external European border, but we are out of the Schengen agreement, we
:35:45. > :35:45.keep our own borders and, under this government, that is how it will
:35:46. > :35:47.stay.
