:00:00. > :00:08.playing our role in resettlement through our scheme. Questions to be
:00:09. > :00:20.Prime Minister. This morning I had meetings with
:00:21. > :00:28.colleagues and others and in addition to my duties in this House,
:00:29. > :00:33.I will have more meetings today. With unemployment falling by over
:00:34. > :00:38.60% at over 5000 new apprenticeships, read it is doing
:00:39. > :00:42.well and I am holding my third to spare in a few weeks with 25
:00:43. > :00:45.companies taking part. Will my right honourable friend agree that we have
:00:46. > :00:52.made a good start but we must not be complacent and we should continue to
:00:53. > :00:58.get good quality jobs. I very much agree with my honourable friend. If
:00:59. > :01:02.we look at the West Woodlands and take an employment figures today, we
:01:03. > :01:08.can see the claimant count has come down since 2010 by 91,000 people,
:01:09. > :01:15.and I am sure the House will welcome an update on unemployment figures.
:01:16. > :01:20.-- West Midlands. Compared with 2010, there are now 2 million
:01:21. > :01:27.370,000 more people in work than when I became Prime Minister, and
:01:28. > :01:29.the claimant town is down 18,000 in the last month, figures which I am
:01:30. > :01:41.sure will be welcome right across the House. -- down. Could the Prime
:01:42. > :01:46.Minister tell the House how many people will die from respiratory
:01:47. > :01:54.disease as a result of air pollution before this country meets its legal
:01:55. > :01:59.obligations on air quality by 2025? I don't have those diggers to hand
:02:00. > :02:03.but what I do know is that we need to make progress on air quality and
:02:04. > :02:07.that is why we have the new regulations on diesel engines which
:02:08. > :02:12.is helping, the steady decarbonisation of our power sector
:02:13. > :02:16.which will help, and why we do have very strong legislation already in
:02:17. > :02:21.terms of making sure we have clean air particularly in our cities. If I
:02:22. > :02:27.could help the Prime Minister, the sad truth is that half a million
:02:28. > :02:33.people will die because of this country's failure to comply with
:02:34. > :02:38.international law on air pollution. How much does air pollution cost our
:02:39. > :02:43.economy every year? Of course it costs our economy billions because
:02:44. > :02:47.people are being injured, and that is why we have the new clean air
:02:48. > :02:52.zones and why we are seeing emissions from cars coming down and
:02:53. > :02:56.I give him one example, if we deliver in terms of our carbon
:02:57. > :03:00.reduction plan for electricity generation, we are going to see
:03:01. > :03:05.something like an 85% reduction in carbon between 1990 and 20 30. That
:03:06. > :03:11.will give us one of the best green records anywhere in the world. The
:03:12. > :03:19.Royal College of Physicians estimates that air pollution cost
:03:20. > :03:22.our economy ?20 billion a year. The failure to deal with air pollution
:03:23. > :03:29.is killing people. A few days ago, London face a severe smog warning.
:03:30. > :03:34.His friend the Mayor of London has presided over a legal breach of air
:03:35. > :03:39.quality in the capital everyday 's 2012, so why can't the Prime
:03:40. > :03:44.Minister Harri up action to make us comply with international law and
:03:45. > :03:48.help the health of the people of this country? -- hurry. It was the
:03:49. > :03:54.Tory government in the 1950s that passed the clean air at and I am
:03:55. > :03:58.sure we will take further action, including the clean air zones, lower
:03:59. > :04:03.car emissions, and why are we able to do this, not only because we care
:04:04. > :04:09.about the environment but because we have an economy strong enough to pay
:04:10. > :04:14.for the improvements. We all welcome the clean air act of 1956, but
:04:15. > :04:22.things have moved on a bit since then!
:04:23. > :04:27.LAUGHTER The government are now threatened with being taken to court
:04:28. > :04:33.for its failure to comply with international law on air pollution.
:04:34. > :04:37.He is proposing to spend tens if not hundreds of millions of pounds on
:04:38. > :04:41.public money -- of public money on defending the indefensible. Why not
:04:42. > :04:47.invest the money in cleaner air and better air quality for everyone in
:04:48. > :04:54.this country? We are investing money in clean air in this country, we are
:04:55. > :04:58.phasing out the use of coal-fired power stations, far in advance
:04:59. > :05:01.what other European countries are doing, blazing a trail with
:05:02. > :05:06.renewable energy, the clean energy we are investing in. All these
:05:07. > :05:10.things will make a difference. You can only do this if you have a
:05:11. > :05:16.strong economy able to pay for these things. If the government and Prime
:05:17. > :05:22.Minister are so keen on renewable and clean energy, could he explain
:05:23. > :05:26.why on Monday the House approved new regulations to allow communities
:05:27. > :05:32.every so on clean energy projects like Shaw wins? I got a question
:05:33. > :05:40.from Angela from Lancaster who asked the Prime Minister this... If I were
:05:41. > :05:44.you, I would listen. Will the Prime Minister of the same right of veto
:05:45. > :05:51.to have committed the and communities like hers across the
:05:52. > :05:56.country on fracking? We have a proper plan in system for deciding
:05:57. > :06:01.these things. He wants to know what is happening in terms of renewable
:06:02. > :06:06.energy. 99% of the solar panels in this country were installed since I
:06:07. > :06:10.became Prime Minister, that is the green record we have. The UK now has
:06:11. > :06:15.the second largest ultra-low emission market anywhere in the
:06:16. > :06:19.European Union, we have seen one of the strongest growth in renewable
:06:20. > :06:25.energy, but isn't it remarkable? Five questions in and no welcome for
:06:26. > :06:30.the fall in unemployment. No mention of the 31 million people now in work
:06:31. > :06:34.and the fact we have more women and young people in work. That more
:06:35. > :06:41.people are bringing home a salary and wage and paying less taxes. Not
:06:42. > :06:47.a words from the party that I thought was Labour. The party
:06:48. > :06:57.getting people back into work is on this side of the House! Mr Speaker,
:06:58. > :07:04.the questions to the Prime Minister are these: he once boasted that he
:07:05. > :07:14.led the greenest government ever. No Husky was face said from it his
:07:15. > :07:19.cuddles! Foods he explain why a damning report has been produced
:07:20. > :07:25.when it comes to green energy, saying major investors describe this
:07:26. > :07:28.policy is risky when it comes to cuts and changes. Why is this
:07:29. > :07:38.government so failing the renewable energy sector is to mark --
:07:39. > :07:41.critique. -- could he explain. Any look at the figures will find this
:07:42. > :07:51.government has a remarkable record in green energy. Let me take the
:07:52. > :07:54.climate at said that Britain is the second best country in the world for
:07:55. > :08:49.tackling climate change after them up.
:08:50. > :08:54.Thanks to our long term economic plan for the Midlands engine, we
:08:55. > :08:57.have been able to invest in our public services in the west
:08:58. > :09:02.Midlands, helping to build a strong NHS, reform our education system and
:09:03. > :09:09.give our police the resources they need. Unemployment is down again and
:09:10. > :09:13.my beautiful Lichfield. And yesterday was an absolute first for
:09:14. > :09:18.the West Midlands, when the whole region co-operatives to be sent 33
:09:19. > :09:22.investment schemes at an international conference in Cannes,
:09:23. > :09:28.which will create a further 178,000 jobs. What more can the Prime
:09:29. > :09:32.Minister do to support the Midlands engine, apart from ensuring, of
:09:33. > :09:40.course, that we never get a Labour government? I am glad my honourable
:09:41. > :09:48.friend chose to be here rather than in Cannes. Last week, we had a deal
:09:49. > :09:50.signed between Chinese investors and an automotive company to create 1000
:09:51. > :09:55.jobs in Coventry. My right honourable friend the Business
:09:56. > :10:00.Secretary was in Staffordshire opening a coffee factory that will
:10:01. > :10:03.bring in 400 jobs. And we have that deal with the West Midlands which
:10:04. > :10:06.will see significant new powers devolved to the combined authority
:10:07. > :10:10.and the directly elected mayor. We are changing the way our country is
:10:11. > :10:14.run, devolving power, building the strength of our great cities, and
:10:15. > :10:43.Birmingham is the second city of our country.
:10:44. > :10:50.In Libya, we want to see the formation of a unity government.
:10:51. > :10:54.There is progress with the Prime Minister, who can now lead that
:10:55. > :11:00.government. We want to hear from him what assistance should be given. In
:11:01. > :11:05.countries like Britain, France, America and Italy will help that new
:11:06. > :11:09.government. Right now, Libya is a people smuggling route which is bad
:11:10. > :11:16.for Europe and bad for us, and also you have the growth of Daesh in
:11:17. > :11:20.Libya, which is bad for us and bad for Europe. If we had any plans for
:11:21. > :11:27.troop training or troop deployment, we would come to the House and
:11:28. > :11:32.discuss it. The UK spent 13 times more bombing Libya than securing the
:11:33. > :11:40.peace after the overthrow of the hated Gaddafi regime. The critics of
:11:41. > :11:44.UK policy even include President Obama of the United States. So will
:11:45. > :11:51.the Prime Minister give a commitment to bring the issue of any potential
:11:52. > :11:53.Libya deployment of any British forces to Parliament for approval
:11:54. > :12:01.before giving the green light for that to happen? Yes or no? I am
:12:02. > :12:06.happy to give that commitment, as we always do. I am very clear that it
:12:07. > :12:09.was right to take action to prevent the slaughter that Colonel Gaddafi
:12:10. > :12:18.would have carried out against his people in Benghazi. Of course, Libya
:12:19. > :12:23.is in a state that is very concerning and everyone has to take
:12:24. > :12:26.responsibility for that. After the conflict, the British government did
:12:27. > :12:31.support the training of Libyan troops. We did bring the Libyan
:12:32. > :12:34.Prime Minister to the G8 in Northern Ireland. We went to the United
:12:35. > :12:38.Nations and passed resolutions to help that government, but so far, we
:12:39. > :12:41.have not been able to bring about that government of National accord
:12:42. > :12:45.that can bring stability to that country. But is it in our interests
:12:46. > :12:56.to help that government do that? Yes, and we should work with others
:12:57. > :13:02.to deliver it. My constituency, which was won for the first time
:13:03. > :13:06.ever by the Conservatives, could be transformed along with the rest of
:13:07. > :13:10.the region by the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon. Having signed a deal
:13:11. > :13:13.yesterday for Cardiff, could the Prime Minister give an assurance
:13:14. > :13:17.that the government review on tidal lagoons will do everything to ensure
:13:18. > :13:21.that the wider Swansea Bay tidal lagoon project fits the UK energy
:13:22. > :13:27.strategy, and does he recognise the economic potential this will bring
:13:28. > :13:33.to the Swansea Bay region? I thank my honourable friend. I remember
:13:34. > :13:36.visiting his constituency after his victory last year. We went to a
:13:37. > :13:42.brewery for a mild celebration. He is right that tidal lagoons do have
:13:43. > :13:48.potential. We launched a review to better understand the technology. We
:13:49. > :13:56.will work closely with developers to make a decision on Swansea. Wrexham
:13:57. > :14:00.in north Wales is a strong manufacturing and exporting region.
:14:01. > :14:06.But its growth is constrained by lack of access to airports in
:14:07. > :14:11.north-west England. The office for rail regulation is currently
:14:12. > :14:15.considering applications for rail pass from north Wales. Will the
:14:16. > :14:19.Prime Minister support a cross-party campaign for fairness for north
:14:20. > :14:27.Wales and for access to airports in north-west England? The former
:14:28. > :14:31.Secretary of State for Wales, the honourable member for Clwyd West,
:14:32. > :14:34.came to see me recently about this. There is a strong argument for how
:14:35. > :14:39.we can better connects north Wales with the north-west of England and
:14:40. > :14:43.make sure we build on the economic strength of both. I will look
:14:44. > :14:50.carefully at what he and my right Number Ten say for the potential for
:14:51. > :14:54.rail capacity. -- what my right honourable friend says. Last week, a
:14:55. > :14:59.High Court judge ruled in favour of ACPO of the great two listed former
:15:00. > :15:03.north Wales Hospital in Denbigh. Years of neglect by its offshore
:15:04. > :15:07.company owner resulted in the building being brought to the point
:15:08. > :15:10.of collapse. Thanks to the ground-breaking work carried out by
:15:11. > :15:14.Denbighshire County Council and the princes regeneration trust, that
:15:15. > :15:19.future should now be safeguarded. But what can the Prime Minister do
:15:20. > :15:22.to vent buildings such as these, which are deemed national assets,
:15:23. > :15:26.from falling into the hands of those who are not fit and proper
:15:27. > :15:29.guardians, particularly those outside of the control of our
:15:30. > :15:34.judicial system? It is an important point. While heritage is a devolved
:15:35. > :15:41.matter, it is great news that these buildings will be safeguarded. I
:15:42. > :15:45.understand that they were bought in 1996 by a company and the left
:15:46. > :15:48.abandoned. As he says, that is no way to treat a grade two star
:15:49. > :15:53.A-listed status building. That is why we have powers in place for
:15:54. > :15:56.compulsory purchase orders. In this case, Denbighshire council were
:15:57. > :16:00.right to use them. Councils should have the confidence that they have
:16:01. > :16:06.these measures and should be prepared to use them. Two weeks ago,
:16:07. > :16:11.in front of the education select committee, the head of Ofsted, Sir
:16:12. > :16:15.Michael Wilshaw, said that 16 to 19 education should be done in a school
:16:16. > :16:20.based environment and not in an FE institution. He then said that some
:16:21. > :16:24.pupils had towards the FE institution, do badly, get lost and
:16:25. > :16:31.drop out. Does the Prime Minister Greek? I think we need a range of
:16:32. > :16:36.settings for A-levels and post-16 study. There are a lot of secondary
:16:37. > :16:40.schools in our country who would like to have a sixth form, and I
:16:41. > :16:42.think there are great benefits, particularly for the 11-year-olds
:16:43. > :16:47.going to secondary school who can look to the top of the school and
:16:48. > :16:51.see what girls and boys are achieving, what A-level choices they
:16:52. > :16:56.are making, what futures they are thinking of. And for many people, it
:16:57. > :17:00.is inspiring to go to a school with a sixth form. But let's have the
:17:01. > :17:06.choice. That is why the academy is Asian of schools was important,
:17:07. > :17:09.because it gives schools the ability to make choices for our children. In
:17:10. > :17:15.apprenticeship week, I'm sure the Prime Minister will join my faxed to
:17:16. > :17:21.the employers who project six -- 6500 apprenticeships in 2010 and all
:17:22. > :17:25.the apprentices themselves, including my first apprentice, Laura
:17:26. > :17:29.Pearson, now Gloucester's youngest ever city councillor. Looking
:17:30. > :17:32.forward, would my right honourable friend do all he can to hasten the
:17:33. > :17:36.introduction of associate nurses, who will make a huge difference to
:17:37. > :17:43.the NHS and our health sector more broadly? The south-west has
:17:44. > :17:48.delivered over 280,000 apprenticeship starts since 2010. It
:17:49. > :17:53.is absolutely pulling its weight and well done to his constituents for
:17:54. > :17:56.doing that. He's also right about the introduction of associate
:17:57. > :18:00.nurses. We working with health England to offer another route into
:18:01. > :18:09.nursing which could see an expansion of our NHS. According to statistics
:18:10. > :18:13.provided by the Prime Minister library -- by the House library,
:18:14. > :18:19.there are many problem gamblers in the UK. Can the Prime Minister say
:18:20. > :18:23.when he will bring forward a 2010 report and does he agree that the
:18:24. > :18:26.money from dormant betting account should be used to support those
:18:27. > :18:32.whose lives have been destroyed by gambling? We will study this report
:18:33. > :18:37.carefully. We did take action in the last parliament to deal with problem
:18:38. > :18:41.gambling in terms of the planning system and the way fixed odds
:18:42. > :18:45.betting is terminals worked. I'm happy to keep examining this issue
:18:46. > :18:52.and act on the evidence, and I will discuss it with the Secretary of
:18:53. > :18:58.State for Culture, Media and Sport. The systematic killing of Christians
:18:59. > :19:01.and other minority groups by the so-called Islamic State across the
:19:02. > :19:06.Middle East has reached unprecedented proportions. So the
:19:07. > :19:09.action being taken by her Majesty's government is just. But what more
:19:10. > :19:13.will my right honourable friend do, working with the international
:19:14. > :19:17.community, to halt this genocide being committed against Christians
:19:18. > :19:23.by what I would rather call the Satanic day? My honourable friend is
:19:24. > :19:26.right to draw attention to what Daesh is doing in terms of
:19:27. > :19:28.persecuting Christians and others, not least those of other faiths and
:19:29. > :19:35.indeed Muslims who they disagree with. We must keep to the plan. We
:19:36. > :19:41.can see that we have shrunk the amount of territory Daesh have in
:19:42. > :19:45.Iraq by 40%. We are also seeing progress in this area, but this will
:19:46. > :19:51.take time. We must show the patients to make sure we rid the world of
:19:52. > :19:57.this evil death cult. The Prime Minister's energy policy is a
:19:58. > :20:01.shambles. It is wholly dependent upon the troubled and eye-wateringly
:20:02. > :20:06.expensive new nuclear plant at Hinckley. There is barely a plan A,
:20:07. > :20:09.let alone a plan B. Is the Prime Minister seeking to build the
:20:10. > :20:15.world's most expensive power station, or the world's biggest
:20:16. > :20:19.white elephant? We are planning to continue with a successful energy
:20:20. > :20:22.policy which is seeing cheaper energy and lower carbon at the same
:20:23. > :20:26.time. The whole strength of the Hinckley deal is that there is no
:20:27. > :20:31.payment unless this power station goes ahead and is built efficiently
:20:32. > :20:38.by EDF. I think that will be good for our energy supplies, because if
:20:39. > :20:41.you want to have energy at low cost and low carbon, you need strong
:20:42. > :20:54.nuclear energy at the heart of your system. Antibiotic research UK,
:20:55. > :20:58.situated in my constituency, is the world's first charity to tackle
:20:59. > :21:02.antimicrobial resistance, a looming global danger of disaster movie star
:21:03. > :21:06.proportions. With the Prime Minister agreed to meet with me to see how we
:21:07. > :21:09.can fund their vital research so that this time, it is not the
:21:10. > :21:16.Americans that save the world, but the British? I am happy to meet with
:21:17. > :21:19.my honourable friend. He is right to raise this issue. Because of the
:21:20. > :21:24.growing resistance to antibiotics and the fact that in so many cases
:21:25. > :21:28.now, antibiotics are not working, we do face a genuine medical emergency
:21:29. > :21:33.around the world. That is why Britain must put this issue on the
:21:34. > :21:36.agenda of the G20, why it was part of our discussions with the Chinese
:21:37. > :21:39.when they made the state visit last year, and why we are investing ?50
:21:40. > :21:44.million in an innovation fund, working with the Chinese government
:21:45. > :21:50.take this forward. I hope the organisation in his constituency can
:21:51. > :21:52.benefit from some of this research. The Prime Minister will know that
:21:53. > :21:57.his Home Secretary is once again trying to deport Afghan interpreter
:21:58. > :22:01.is seeking sanctuary in the UK. These brave people risk their lives
:22:02. > :22:06.serving our Armed Forces, yet they now face being sent back to the
:22:07. > :22:10.mercy of the Taliban or to join thousands rotting in refugee camps.
:22:11. > :22:16.Is this how Britain should repay those who put their lives on the
:22:17. > :22:23.line for us? Instead, will he do whatever is possible to ensure they
:22:24. > :22:27.are offered safe haven here? What we did in the last government, in which
:22:28. > :22:31.his party played a role, was that we agreed a set of conditions for
:22:32. > :22:35.Afghan interpreters to be able to come to the UK and be given
:22:36. > :22:39.sanctuary. But we also provided for a scheme so that those who wanted to
:22:40. > :22:44.stay and help rebuild their country were able to do so. I would still
:22:45. > :22:52.defend that scheme, even if his party has changed his mind. My
:22:53. > :22:56.constituent, Debra Reid and her sister, watched her mother waste
:22:57. > :22:59.away in hospital due to inadequate where after a fall, which has been
:23:00. > :23:02.admitted by the consultant in charge. Last week, my right
:23:03. > :23:05.honourable friend the Health Secretary hosted a global summit on
:23:06. > :23:09.patient safety and announced the creation of a new health care safety
:23:10. > :23:13.investigation branch. What more can the government do to ensure patient
:23:14. > :23:18.safety is at the heart of the NHS and prevent such instances occurring
:23:19. > :23:23.in the future? My honourable friend is right to raise cases like this.
:23:24. > :23:25.They are horrendous when they take place and should be properly
:23:26. > :23:32.investigated. We then need to learn the lessons. We have made progress.
:23:33. > :23:36.The proportion of patients being harmed in the NHS has dropped by a
:23:37. > :23:39.third in the last two years and MRSA bloodstream infections have fallen
:23:40. > :23:42.by over half in the last five years. But my right honourable friend the
:23:43. > :23:51.Health Secretary is right to hold this conference and to examine what
:23:52. > :23:54.other practices have done in order to have a zero accident safety
:23:55. > :23:59.culture. We have seen this in other walks of life, and it is time we
:24:00. > :24:04.applied it to the NHS. Just eight days ago, Oliver tableau popped to
:24:05. > :24:10.the shops. He was brutally shot dead. The community are shocked and
:24:11. > :24:16.saddened by this murder of an innocent young man. They have asked
:24:17. > :24:21.for more community local policing and more youth engagement. Will the
:24:22. > :24:27.Prime Minister meet with me to discuss how we can make our streets
:24:28. > :24:32.safer? It is an important point. In London, we have actually seen a
:24:33. > :24:39.reduction in gun crime. Our hearts go out to the family of Oliver
:24:40. > :24:45.Tetlow, who she talked about. We have seen better policing in our
:24:46. > :24:48.communities. We must keep that up and I will arrange whatever meeting
:24:49. > :24:56.is best to make sure the voices she mentioned are listened to. As my
:24:57. > :24:59.right honourable friend will be aware, highways England are
:25:00. > :25:02.consulting on a new lower Thames crossing, with their preferred
:25:03. > :25:10.option being so-called option C, which will dived 14% of traffic from
:25:11. > :25:12.the Dartford crossing. Does my right 'em agree that before spending
:25:13. > :25:17.billions on the new crossing, we should sort out the problem at the
:25:18. > :25:25.existing crossing -- does my right honourable friend Greek? It would
:25:26. > :25:33.improve air quality. Will he meet with me to discuss matters further?
:25:34. > :25:39.We need to tackle congestion and air quality and stationary traffic is
:25:40. > :25:45.more polluting than air traffic so sorting out the Dartford Crossing is
:25:46. > :25:51.important but we should look at options for a new crossing. Two
:25:52. > :25:56.options are on the table and these are the best available options.
:25:57. > :26:00.Highways England have looked at the locations in terms of their economic
:26:01. > :26:04.impact and we look forward to seeing what they recommend and then we can
:26:05. > :26:10.make progress. A vital step of our trees for our country's economy and
:26:11. > :26:14.we need traffic to run smoothly. On reflection, was it wise for the
:26:15. > :26:20.Chancellor to bank on the theory of ?27 billion windfall when it has
:26:21. > :26:23.only gone and vanished in the last three months? We will hear a lot
:26:24. > :26:27.from the Chancellor in a minute or two but I would say that we have an
:26:28. > :26:33.economy that is an immensely strong, facing a very difficult set of world
:26:34. > :26:37.circumstances. Here in Great Britain, when you look at it, and
:26:38. > :26:42.employment at 5%, inflation and virtually 0%, unemployment figures
:26:43. > :26:48.show unemployment falling again and wages growing at 2%. That is a
:26:49. > :26:52.better record than many other countries in the developed world can
:26:53. > :26:55.boast, and much of that is down to the plan set out by my right
:26:56. > :27:04.honourable friend and followed for six years. Last week, I welcomed in
:27:05. > :27:09.international delegation to the Eden Project to promote Cornwall for
:27:10. > :27:13.international tourists. Visitor numbers are up in Cornwall but there
:27:14. > :27:16.is more we can do to attract overseas visitors out of London and
:27:17. > :27:20.into the regions of our country. Can I ask the Prime Minister what more
:27:21. > :27:25.the government can do to support the tourist industry and get more
:27:26. > :27:29.overseas visitors to come to Cornwall? My honourable friend knows
:27:30. > :27:32.that there is nothing finer than going out of London and going down
:27:33. > :27:38.to Cornwall and no better place than the beach when the sun is setting
:27:39. > :27:44.and the waves are big. And my phone is working. He is right. And the
:27:45. > :27:52.Daily Mail photographer had gone home, that helps! We need to get
:27:53. > :27:55.people who come to our country to visit outside of London and that is
:27:56. > :28:06.what some of the new schemes we have announced, like the ?40 billion
:28:07. > :28:14.Discover England fund have done. In 2014 we exported food products, with
:28:15. > :28:21.73% of the total going to other Europeans dates, no wonder that 71%
:28:22. > :28:30.of food and drink Federation members want us to avoid Brexit. Do you
:28:31. > :28:37.think the prospects of further its or strengthened by staying in the
:28:38. > :28:45.European Union? The view from food manufacturers and from farmers and
:28:46. > :28:49.the wider business community it up yesterday said the four Europe, is
:28:50. > :29:01.very clear, and the arguments on food are particularly careful eye 20
:29:02. > :29:07.million cans without, and without any problems, and we should not put
:29:08. > :29:12.it at risk when we look at alternatives to being part of the
:29:13. > :29:15.single market, like Canada, we can see there are restrictions, for
:29:16. > :29:19.instance, quotas on beef, and I don't want to see that being applied
:29:20. > :29:31.to British farmers who have so much to be proud of. Does my right
:29:32. > :29:35.honourable friend agree that having an inspirational men's or can
:29:36. > :29:41.provide young people with the opportunities they would never have
:29:42. > :29:48.benefited from before? -- mentor. Can he tell me how the 14 million
:29:49. > :29:54.government will be putting into a new national mentoring scheme will
:29:55. > :30:01.benefit some of the most disadvantaged children in our
:30:02. > :30:05.society? I agree. One of the most important thing is schools can do in
:30:06. > :30:10.the future is encourage mentors from business, from the public sector,
:30:11. > :30:15.from charities, into schools to give that extra one-on-one help that
:30:16. > :30:18.young people benefit from. I was in Southwark yesterday at an academy to
:30:19. > :30:24.see how well it is going, where every child studying GCSEs and gets
:30:25. > :30:29.a mentor and it makes a huge difference to the life chances of
:30:30. > :30:35.the children. The ?14 million we are putting in should allow 25 thousand
:30:36. > :30:39.children to have a mentor. All schools should look at this. There
:30:40. > :30:46.are so many people in business, in the public sector, in charities,
:30:47. > :30:50.reluctant take part of this. The Prime Minister would like to suggest
:30:51. > :30:55.he is the champion of localism but he's government is seeking to gag
:30:56. > :31:04.local communities with a policy that stands out sent. -- stamps out.
:31:05. > :31:09.Dissent. Can he explain the rejection for Academy schools and
:31:10. > :31:15.why there views will count for nothing in the future? When are you
:31:16. > :31:22.argue that academy schools are true devolution. -- I would argue. You
:31:23. > :31:26.end up with teachers having full control over the school, making
:31:27. > :31:31.decisions about the school, and if that does not convince her, look at
:31:32. > :31:35.the result. If you look at primary sponsored academies, they have
:31:36. > :31:41.better records and are improving faster. 88% of the academy schools
:31:42. > :31:45.are rated rude or outstanding. This is true devolution, making sure
:31:46. > :31:53.every headteacher is in charge of their school and riding a great
:31:54. > :31:56.education we want for our children. -- providing. My constituent has
:31:57. > :32:00.been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer and has shown outstanding
:32:01. > :32:05.courage in her fight against the disease but she did not get the
:32:06. > :32:08.support of compassion of the employer who wanted to dismiss
:32:09. > :32:14.certain capability procedures. Now her former partner is trying to get
:32:15. > :32:19.the House they own together repossessed, leaving her homeless
:32:20. > :32:22.while dying. Would the Prime Minister agree with me that we need
:32:23. > :32:26.better protection for people who are diagnosed with terminal illnesses
:32:27. > :32:34.and would you join with me and Jackie in supporting the changes in
:32:35. > :32:37.outlined in the TUC campaign? The points you make are right and I will
:32:38. > :32:43.look very carefully at the case she raises. In all of these things, as
:32:44. > :32:47.well as having clear rules, you also need organisations, whether it is
:32:48. > :32:52.employers or housing associations or landlords or trade unions to act
:32:53. > :32:54.with genuine compassion and think of the person, the human being at the
:32:55. > :33:11.other end of the telephone. Order!
