:00:25. > :00:25.This morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues
:00:26. > :00:28.and others and in addition to my duties in this House,
:00:29. > :00:36.I will have further such meetings later today.
:00:37. > :00:38.With unemployment falling by over 60% and over 5000
:00:39. > :00:41.new apprenticeships, Redditch is doing well,
:00:42. > :00:45.and I am holding my third jobs fair in the next few weeks with 25
:00:46. > :00:51.Will my right honourable friend agree that we have made a good start
:00:52. > :00:54.but we must not be complacent and through the Midlands Engine
:00:55. > :00:57.continue to get good quality jobs into our villages?
:00:58. > :01:02.I very much agree with my honourable friend.
:01:03. > :01:05.If we look at the West Midlands and take today's unemployment
:01:06. > :01:07.figures, we can see the claimant count has
:01:08. > :01:13.come down since 2010 by 91,000 people, and I am sure the House
:01:14. > :01:17.will welcome an update on unemployment figures out today.
:01:18. > :01:19.Employment in our country at a new record high
:01:20. > :01:28.Compared with 2010, there are now 2,370,000 more people
:01:29. > :01:32.in work than when I became Prime Minister, and the claimant
:01:33. > :01:35.count today down 18,000 in the last month, figures which I am sure
:01:36. > :01:39.will be welcomed right across the House.
:01:40. > :01:50.Could the Prime Minister tell the House how many people will die
:01:51. > :01:55.from respiratory disease as a result of air pollution before this country
:01:56. > :02:03.meets its legal obligations on air quality by 2025?
:02:04. > :02:09.I don't have those figures to hand but what I do know is that we need
:02:10. > :02:13.to make progress on air quality and that is why
:02:14. > :02:15.we have the new regulations on diesel engines which is helping,
:02:16. > :02:22.the steady decarbonisation of our power sector which will help,
:02:23. > :02:25.and why we do have very strong legislation already in terms
:02:26. > :02:31.of making sure we have clean air particularly in our cities.
:02:32. > :02:34.If I could help the Prime Minister, the sad truth is that half a million
:02:35. > :02:37.people will die because of this country's failure to comply
:02:38. > :02:38.with international law on air pollution.
:02:39. > :02:40.Perhaps he could answer another question.
:02:41. > :02:45.How much does air pollution cost our economy every year?
:02:46. > :02:50.Of course it costs our economy billions because people
:02:51. > :02:53.are being injured, and that is why we have the new clean air zones
:02:54. > :02:57.and why we are seeing emissions from cars coming down,
:02:58. > :03:01.and I give him one example, if we deliver in terms
:03:02. > :03:03.of our carbon reduction plan for electricity generation,
:03:04. > :03:06.we are going to see something like an 85% reduction in carbon
:03:07. > :03:16.That will give us one of the best green records anywhere in the world.
:03:17. > :03:22.The Royal College of Physicians estimates that air pollution
:03:23. > :03:26.costs our economy ?20 billion a year.
:03:27. > :03:29.The failure to deal with air pollution is killing people.
:03:30. > :03:33.Only a few days ago, London faced a severe smog warning.
:03:34. > :03:37.His friend the Mayor of London has presided over a legal breach of
:03:38. > :03:43.air quality in the capital every day since 2012,
:03:44. > :03:46.so why can't the Prime Minister hurry up action
:03:47. > :03:49.to make us comply with international law and above all help the health
:03:50. > :03:54.It was the Conservative government in the 1950s that passed the Clean
:03:55. > :03:57.Air Act and I am sure it will be this Conservative government
:03:58. > :04:05.including the clean air zones, lower car emissions,
:04:06. > :04:09.Not only because we care about the environment
:04:10. > :04:12.but because we have an economy strong enough to pay
:04:13. > :04:14.for these improvements, as we are just about to hear.
:04:15. > :04:18.We all welcome the Clean Air Act of 1956, but things have moved
:04:19. > :04:32.The Government are now threatened with being taken to court
:04:33. > :04:34.for its failure to comply with international law
:04:35. > :04:40.He is proposing to spend tens if not hundreds of thousands of pounds
:04:41. > :04:43.of public money defending the indefensible.
:04:44. > :04:48.Why not instead invest the money in cleaner air and better air
:04:49. > :04:52.quality for everyone in this country?
:04:53. > :04:55.We are investing money in clean air in this country.
:04:56. > :04:58.For instance, we are phasing out the use of coal-fired power
:04:59. > :05:02.stations, far in advance of what other
:05:03. > :05:05.blazing a trail in terms of more renewable energy,
:05:06. > :05:09.the clean nuclear energy we are going to be investing in.
:05:10. > :05:11.All these things will make a difference.
:05:12. > :05:17.you can only do this if you have a strong economy
:05:18. > :05:25.If the government and Prime Minister are so keen on renewable and clean
:05:26. > :05:27.energy, could he explain why on Monday the House approved
:05:28. > :05:31.new regulations to allow communities a veto on clean energy projects
:05:32. > :05:40.I got a question from Angela from Lancaster who asked
:05:41. > :05:49.Will the Prime Minister offer the same right of veto
:05:50. > :05:53.to her community and communities like hers across
:05:54. > :06:03.We have a proper planning system for deciding these things.
:06:04. > :06:06.If he wants to know what is happening in terms
:06:07. > :06:11.99% of the solar panels in this country were installed
:06:12. > :06:16.since I became Prime Minister, that is the green record we have.
:06:17. > :06:18.The UK now has the second largest ultra-low emission vehicle market
:06:19. > :06:27.We have seen one of the strongest growths in renewable energy.
:06:28. > :06:31.Five questions in and no welcome for the fall in unemployment.
:06:32. > :06:36.No mention of the 31 million people now in work and the fact we have
:06:37. > :06:42.That more people are bringing home a salary and wage
:06:43. > :06:46.Not a word from the party that I thought was meant to be
:06:47. > :06:53.The party of working people, getting people into work,
:06:54. > :07:07.Mr Speaker, the questions to the Prime Minister are these:
:07:08. > :07:18.he once boasted that he led the greenest government ever.
:07:19. > :07:22.So could he explain why the Energy and Climate Change Select
:07:23. > :07:25.Committee has produced a damning report when it comes to green
:07:26. > :07:27.energy, saying major investors describe his policies as risky
:07:28. > :07:36.Why is this government so failing the renewable energy sector,
:07:37. > :07:38.clean air investors, consumers and those that work
:07:39. > :07:48.Any proper look at the figures will find this government has
:07:49. > :07:56.Let me take the Climate Action Network.
:07:57. > :07:59.They said that Britain is the second best country in the world
:08:00. > :08:01.for tackling climate change after Denmark.
:08:02. > :08:11.Since 2010, we have reduced greenhouse gases by 14%.
:08:12. > :08:14.We are over delivering against all of our carbon budgets.
:08:15. > :08:16.We secured the first truly global legally binding agreement
:08:17. > :08:24.And we have got annual support for renewables more than doubling
:08:25. > :08:28.We are on track with renewable electricity to deliver our target
:08:29. > :08:30.of at least 30% from renewable sources by 2020.
:08:31. > :08:32.And almost all of that will have happened under
:08:33. > :08:43.That is our record, and we are proud of it.
:08:44. > :08:46.There are some very positive things going on in the West
:08:47. > :08:47.Midlands economy, and today's figures show employment
:08:48. > :08:53.in the region up by 140,000 since 2010 and more than 108,000
:08:54. > :08:55.businesses were created in the region between 2010 and 2014.
:08:56. > :09:01.Thanks to our long-term economic plan for the Midlands Engine,
:09:02. > :09:05.we have been able to invest in our public services
:09:06. > :09:07.in the West Midlands, helping to build a strong NHS,
:09:08. > :09:10.and give our police the resources they need.
:09:11. > :09:12.Unemployment is down again in my beautiful Lichfield.
:09:13. > :09:14.And yesterday was an absolute first for the West Midlands,
:09:15. > :09:17.when the whole region co-operated to present 33 investment schemes
:09:18. > :09:19.at an international conference in Cannes, which will create
:09:20. > :09:28.What more can the Prime Minister do to support the Midlands Engine,
:09:29. > :09:30.apart from ensuring, of course, that we never get
:09:31. > :09:42.I am glad my honourable friend chose to be here rather than in Cannes.
:09:43. > :09:46.Just last week, we had ?300 million deal signed between Chinese
:09:47. > :09:49.investors and Cad Cam Automotive to create 1000 jobs in Coventry.
:09:50. > :09:58.My right honourable friend the Business Secretary
:09:59. > :10:01.was in Staffordshire as Nestle are opening a new coffee factory
:10:02. > :10:09.And we have that historic deal with the West Midlands
:10:10. > :10:12.which will see significant new powers
:10:13. > :10:15.devolved to the combined authority
:10:16. > :10:18.We are changing the way our country is run, devolving power,
:10:19. > :10:20.building the strength of our great cities,
:10:21. > :10:22.and Birmingham is the second city of our country.
:10:23. > :10:24.There is widespread reporting that the UK Government
:10:25. > :10:27.is about to commit to sending ground troops to Libya to train
:10:28. > :10:38.Is this true, and why has Parliament not been informed about it?
:10:39. > :10:40.If we had any plans to send conventional
:10:41. > :10:43.forces for training in Libya, then of course we would come to this
:10:44. > :10:51.is the formation of a unity government.
:10:52. > :10:53.There is progress with the prime minister,
:10:54. > :10:55.who can now lead that government.
:10:56. > :10:58.We want to hear from him what assistance we think should be
:10:59. > :11:14.Countries like Britain, France, America and Italy will definitely
:11:15. > :11:18.Right now, Libya is a people smuggling route.
:11:19. > :11:20.That which is bad for Europe and bad for us,
:11:21. > :11:25.of Daesh in Libya, which is bad for us and bad for Europe.
:11:26. > :11:27.If we had any plans for troop training or troop deployment,
:11:28. > :11:31.we would come to the House and discuss it.
:11:32. > :11:34.The UK spent 13 times more bombing Libya than securing the peace
:11:35. > :11:37.after the overthrow of the hated Gaddafi regime.
:11:38. > :11:39.The critics of UK policy even include President Obama
:11:40. > :11:44.So will the Prime Minister give a commitment to bring the issue
:11:45. > :11:47.of any potential Libyan deployment of any British forces to Parliament
:11:48. > :11:52.for approval before giving the green light for that to happen?
:11:53. > :12:02.I am happy to give that commitment, as we always do.
:12:03. > :12:05.I am very clear that it was right to take action to prevent
:12:06. > :12:07.the slaughter that Colonel Gaddafi would have carried out
:12:08. > :12:14.Of course, Libya is in a state that is very concerning and everyone
:12:15. > :12:24.After the conflict, the British government did support the training
:12:25. > :12:32.We did bring the Libyan Prime Minister to the G8
:12:33. > :13:06.we have not been able to bring
:13:07. > :13:18.we have not been able to bring about
:13:19. > :13:20.that government of National accord that can bring stability
:13:21. > :13:24.But is it in our interests to help that government do that?
:13:25. > :13:26.Yes, and we should work with others to deliver it.
:13:27. > :13:29.My constituency, which was won for the first time ever
:13:30. > :13:30.by the Conservatives, could be transformed along
:13:31. > :13:33.with the rest of the region by the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon.
:13:34. > :13:35.Having signed a deal yesterday for Cardiff,
:13:36. > :13:37.could the Prime Minister give an assurance that the government
:13:38. > :13:40.review on tidal lagoons will do everything to ensure that the wider
:13:41. > :13:43.Swansea Bay tidal lagoon project fits the UK energy strategy,
:13:44. > :13:45.and does he recognise the economic potential this will bring
:13:46. > :13:50.I remember visiting his constituency after his victory last year.
:13:51. > :13:52.We went to a brewery for a mild celebration.
:13:53. > :13:54.He is right that tidal lagoons do have potential.
:13:55. > :13:56.We launched a review to better understand the technology.
:13:57. > :13:59.We will work closely with developers to make a decision on Swansea.
:14:00. > :14:02.Wrexham in north Wales is a strong manufacturing and exporting region.
:14:03. > :14:05.But its growth is constrained by lack of access to airports
:14:06. > :14:07.The office for rail regulation is currently
:14:08. > :14:09.considering applications for rail pass from north Wales.
:14:10. > :14:11.Will the Prime Minister support a cross-party campaign for fairness
:14:12. > :14:21.for north Wales and for access to airports in north-west England?
:14:22. > :14:26.The former Secretary of State for Wales, the honourable member
:14:27. > :14:31.for Clwyd West, came to see me recently about this.
:14:32. > :14:37.There is a strong argument for how we can better connects north Wales
:14:38. > :14:43.with the north-west of England and make sure we build
:14:44. > :14:52.I will look carefully at what he and my right Number Ten
:14:53. > :14:54.say for the potential for rail capacity.
:14:55. > :14:59.-- what my right honourable friend says.
:15:00. > :15:06.Last week, a High Court judge ruled in favour of ACPO of the great two
:15:07. > :15:09.star listed former north Wales Hospital in Denbigh.
:15:10. > :15:13.Years of neglect by its offshore company owner resulted
:15:14. > :15:16.in the building being brought to the point of collapse.
:15:17. > :15:18.Thanks to the ground-breaking work carried out by Denbighshire County
:15:19. > :15:20.Council and the princes regeneration trust, that future should
:15:21. > :15:26.But what can the Prime Minister do to prevent buildings such as these,
:15:27. > :15:29.which are deemed national assets, from falling into the hands of those
:15:30. > :15:31.who are not fit and proper guardians, particularly those
:15:32. > :15:33.outside of the control of our judicial system?
:15:34. > :15:37.While heritage is a devolved matter, it is great news that these
:15:38. > :15:41.I understand that they were bought in 1996 by a company
:15:42. > :15:46.As he says, that is no way to treat a grade two star
:15:47. > :15:49.That is why we have powers in place for compulsory purchase orders.
:15:50. > :15:52.In this case, Denbighshire council were right to use them.
:15:53. > :15:54.Councils should have the confidence that they have these measures
:15:55. > :16:15.Two weeks ago, in front of the education select committee,
:16:16. > :16:17.the head of Ofsted, Sir Michael Wilshaw,
:16:18. > :16:20.said that 16 to 19 education should be done in a school based
:16:21. > :16:21.environment and not in an FE institution.
:16:22. > :16:31.He then said that some pupils head towards the FE institution,
:16:32. > :16:41.I think we need a range of settings for A-levels and post-16 study.
:16:42. > :16:48.There are a lot of secondary schools in our country
:16:49. > :16:57.who would like to have a Sixth Form, and I think there are
:16:58. > :16:58.great benefits, particularly for the 11-year-olds
:16:59. > :17:02.going to secondary school who can look to the top of the school
:17:03. > :17:04.and see what girls and boys are achieving, what A-level choices
:17:05. > :17:06.they are making, what futures they are thinking of.
:17:07. > :17:10.it is inspiring to go to a school with a sixth form.
:17:11. > :17:14.That is why the academisation of schools was important,
:17:15. > :17:18.because it gives schools the ability to make choices for our children.
:17:19. > :17:28.In Apprenticeship Week, I'm sure the Prime Minister
:17:29. > :17:30.will join my thanks to the employers who have created
:17:31. > :17:33.6500 apprenticeships in 2010 and all the apprentices themselves,
:17:34. > :17:35.including my first apprentice, Laura Pearson, now Gloucester's
:17:36. > :17:38.Looking forward, would my right honourable friend do all he can
:17:39. > :17:40.to hasten the introduction of associate nurses,
:17:41. > :17:43.who will make a huge difference to the NHS and our health
:17:44. > :17:50.The south-west has delivered over 280,000 apprenticeship
:17:51. > :17:55.and well done to his constituents for doing that.
:17:56. > :18:08.He's also right about the introduction of associate nurses.
:18:09. > :18:11.We are working with health England to offer another route into nursing
:18:12. > :18:18.which could see an expansion of our NHS.
:18:19. > :18:27.According to statistics provided by the House library,
:18:28. > :18:29.there are an estimated 200,000 problem gamblers in the UK.
:18:30. > :18:32.Can the Prime Minister say when he will bring forward a 2010
:18:33. > :18:35.report and does he agree that the money from dormant betting
:18:36. > :18:37.accounts should be used to support those whose lives have been
:18:38. > :18:42.We did take action in the last parliament to deal with problem
:18:43. > :18:45.gambling in terms of the planning system and the way fixed odds
:18:46. > :18:50.I'm happy to keep examining this issue and act on the evidence,
:18:51. > :18:52.and I will discuss it with the Secretary of State
:18:53. > :19:00.The systematic killing of Christians and other minority groups
:19:01. > :19:02.by the so-called Islamic State across the Middle East
:19:03. > :19:08.has reached unprecedented proportions.
:19:09. > :19:11.So the action being taken by Her Majesty's government is just.
:19:12. > :19:13.But what more will my right honourable friend do,
:19:14. > :19:16.working with the international community,
:19:17. > :19:24.to halt this genocide being committed against Christians
:19:25. > :19:26.by what I would rather call the Satanic State?
:19:27. > :19:29.My honourable friend is right to draw attention to what Daesh
:19:30. > :19:31.is doing in terms of persecuting Christians and others,
:19:32. > :19:33.not least those of other faiths and indeed Muslims
:19:34. > :19:51.that we have shrunk the amount of territory Daesh have
:19:52. > :19:55.We are also seeing progress in this area, but this will take time.
:19:56. > :19:59.We must show the patients to make sure we rid the world of this
:20:00. > :20:01.The Prime Minister's energy policy is a shambles.
:20:02. > :20:04.It is wholly dependent upon the troubled and eye-wateringly
:20:05. > :20:05.expensive new nuclear plant at Hinckley.
:20:06. > :20:08.There is barely a plan A, let alone a plan B.
:20:09. > :20:10.Is the Prime Minister seeking to build the world's most expensive
:20:11. > :20:12.power station, or the world's biggest white elephant?
:20:13. > :20:16.We are planning to continue with a successful energy policy
:20:17. > :20:19.which is seeing cheaper energy and lower carbon at the same time.
:20:20. > :20:22.The whole strength of the Hinckley deal is that there is no payment
:20:23. > :20:31.unless this power station goes ahead and is built efficiently by EDF.
:20:32. > :20:34.I think that will be good for our energy supplies,
:20:35. > :20:37.because if you want to have energy at low cost and low carbon,
:20:38. > :20:53.you need strong nuclear energy at the heart of your system.
:20:54. > :21:00.Antibiotic research UK, situated in my constituency,
:21:01. > :21:02.is the world's first charity to tackle antimicrobial resistance,
:21:03. > :21:15.a looming global danger of disaster movie star proportions.
:21:16. > :21:17.-- Antibiotic Research UK, situated in my constituency,
:21:18. > :21:19.is the world's first charity to tackle antimicrobial resistance,
:21:20. > :21:21.a looming global danger of disaster movie-style proportions.
:21:22. > :21:24.With the Prime Minister agreed to meet with me to see how we can
:21:25. > :21:27.fund their vital research so that this time, it is not
:21:28. > :21:29.the Americans that save the world, but the British?
:21:30. > :21:31.I am happy to meet with my honourable friend.
:21:32. > :21:35.Because of the growing resistance to antibiotics and the fact that
:21:36. > :21:38.in so many cases now, antibiotics are not working,
:21:39. > :21:40.we do face a genuine medical emergency around the world.
:21:41. > :21:43.That is why Britain must put this issue on the agenda of the G20,
:21:44. > :21:46.why it was part of our discussions with the Chinese when they made
:21:47. > :21:49.the state visit last year, and why we are investing ?50 million
:21:50. > :21:51.in an innovation fund, working with the Chinese government

:22:11. > :22:13.Is this how Britain should repay those who put their lives
:22:14. > :22:16.Instead, will he do whatever is possible to ensure
:22:17. > :22:26.What we did in the last government, in which his party played a role,
:22:27. > :22:29.was that we agreed a set of conditions
:22:30. > :22:34.to be able to come to the UK and be given sanctuary.
:22:35. > :22:38.But we also provided for a scheme so that those who wanted to stay
:22:39. > :22:40.and help rebuild their country were able to do so.
:22:41. > :22:43.I would still defend that scheme, even if his party has
:22:44. > :22:49.My constituent, Debra Reid and her sister, watched her mother
:22:50. > :22:51.waste away in hospital due to inadequate where after a fall,

:22:56. > :22:57.Last week, my right honourable friend the Health Secretary hosted
:22:58. > :23:00.a global summit on patient safety and announced the creation
:23:01. > :23:02.of a new health care safety investigation branch.
:23:03. > :23:04.What more can the government do to ensure patient safety
:23:05. > :23:07.is at the heart of the NHS and prevent such instances occurring
:23:08. > :23:22.My honourable friend is right to raise cases like this.
:23:23. > :23:25.They are horrendous when they take place and should
:23:26. > :23:31.The proportion of patients being harmed in the NHS has dropped
:23:32. > :23:34.by a third in the last two years and MRSA bloodstream infections have
:23:35. > :23:36.fallen by over half in the last five years.
:23:37. > :23:39.But my right honourable friend the Health Secretary is right
:23:40. > :23:41.to hold this conference and to examine what other practices
:23:42. > :23:44.have done in order to have a zero accident safety culture.
:23:45. > :23:47.We have seen this in other walks of life, and it is time we applied

:24:23. > :24:25.Will the Prime Minister meet with me to discuss how we can
:24:26. > :24:30.In London, we have actually seen a reduction in gun crime.
:24:31. > :24:33.Our hearts go out to the family of Oliver Tetlow,
:24:34. > :24:45.We have seen better policing in our communities.
:24:46. > :24:48.We must keep that up and I will arrange whatever meeting
:24:49. > :24:51.is best to make sure the voices she mentioned are listened to.
:24:52. > :24:53.As my right honourable friend will be aware,
:24:54. > :24:55.highways England are consulting on a new lower Thames crossing,
:24:56. > :24:57.with their preferred option being so-called option C,
:24:58. > :25:14.which will dived 14% of traffic from the Dartford crossing.
:25:15. > :25:17.Does my Right Honourable friend agree that before spending billions
:25:18. > :25:20.on the new crossing, we should sort out the problem
:25:21. > :25:35.Not only helping a greater number of motorists
:25:36. > :25:51.Will he meet with me to discuss matters further?
:25:52. > :25:53.We were discussing earlier that we need to tackle congestion
:25:54. > :25:55.and air quality and stationary traffic is more polluting
:25:56. > :25:58.than moving traffic so sorting out the existing problems is important
:25:59. > :26:01.but I believe we have to look at the options for a new crossing.
:26:02. > :26:04.These are the best available options.
:26:05. > :26:06.Highways England have looked at both options.
:26:07. > :26:11.We look forward to seeing what they recommend
:26:12. > :26:14.and I hope when they do we can then make progress.
:26:15. > :26:17.This is a vital set of arteries for the economy of our country
:26:18. > :26:19.and we need the traffic to be flowing smoothly.
:26:20. > :26:23.was it wise of the Chancellor to bank on the theory
:26:24. > :26:26.of the ?27 billion windfall when it has only gone and vanished
:26:27. > :26:30.in the space of the last three months?
:26:31. > :26:34.I think we will be hearing a lot from the Chancellor in a couple
:26:35. > :26:39.of minutes but I would say we have got an economy that is strong,
:26:40. > :26:42.facing a very difficult set of world circumstances.
:26:43. > :26:51.unemployment at 5%, inflation at virtually 0%,
:26:52. > :26:54.the unemployment figures today show unemployment falling again and wages
:26:55. > :26:57.A better record than most countries in the developed world can boast
:26:58. > :27:08.which is down to the clear plan followed these last six years.
:27:09. > :27:15.last week was induced tourism week, I was delighted to welcome an
:27:16. > :27:19.international delegation to the Eden Project, to promote Cornwall as a
:27:20. > :27:22.destination for international tourist, visitor numbers are up in
:27:23. > :27:27.Cornwall but there is more that we can do to attract overseas visitors
:27:28. > :27:30.out of London and into the regions of the country. Can I ask the Prime
:27:31. > :27:34.Minister what more can be done to support the tourism industry and to
:27:35. > :27:39.get more overseas visitors to come to Cornwall? My honourable friend
:27:40. > :27:42.knows that there is as far as I'm concerned nothing finer than getting
:27:43. > :27:46.out of London and getting down to Cornwall, no better a place to go
:27:47. > :27:53.than the beach, when the waves are big and the sun is setting. And my
:27:54. > :27:56.phone is working! He is absolutely right... And the Daily Mail
:27:57. > :27:59.photographer has gone home, as well! LAUGHTER
:28:00. > :28:02.We need to get people who come to the country to visit the wonders of
:28:03. > :28:06.London, to spend some time outside of London, that is what some of the
:28:07. > :28:10.news schemes that we have announced like for instance the ?48 million
:28:11. > :28:15.discovering the fund are all about. -- new scheme. I would ask everybody
:28:16. > :28:23.to make use of it. -- Discover England. In 2014, we exported ?4.8
:28:24. > :28:28.billion worth of food products, 73% of the total going to other European
:28:29. > :28:34.states. No wonder 71% of food and drink Federation members want us to
:28:35. > :28:39.avoid leaving the EU. Does the priming is to think the prospect of
:28:40. > :28:44.improving further the export profile of food manufacturing will be
:28:45. > :28:52.strengthened by staying in the European Union? The view from food
:28:53. > :28:55.manufacturers and farmers and the wider business team unity, 81% of
:28:56. > :28:59.whom said that they would like to stay in a refund Europe, is clear.
:29:00. > :29:03.The arguments on food are particularly clear, our farmers
:29:04. > :29:09.reduce some of the best food anywhere in the world, they have an
:29:10. > :29:14.access to 500 million consumers, without quotas or tariffs or any
:29:15. > :29:17.problems. We should not put that at risk, when we look at some of the
:29:18. > :29:22.alternatives to being part of the single market, for instance, a
:29:23. > :29:26.Canadian style free trade deal, we can see there are restrictions,
:29:27. > :29:27.quotas on beef, and I do not want to see that applied to British farmers
:29:28. > :29:41.who have so much to be proud of. Does my right honourable friend
:29:42. > :29:46.agree that having an inspirational mental can provide young people with
:29:47. > :29:53.the opportunities they would never have benefited for from before. --
:29:54. > :29:57.mentor. Can he tell me how the ?14 million that the government would
:29:58. > :30:02.put into a new national men touring scheme is going to be able to
:30:03. > :30:10.benefit some of the most disadvantaged children in our
:30:11. > :30:16.society. -- new national mentoring scheme. One of the most important
:30:17. > :30:21.things we can do is encourage mentors into schools to give extra
:30:22. > :30:32.one on one health that some forehand young people so benefit from. Every
:30:33. > :30:36.child who studies GCSE 's who wants a mentor can have one, that makes a
:30:37. > :30:40.massive difference in the school that I studied. The ?40 million we
:30:41. > :30:43.are putting in should allow 25,000 of the most disadvantaged people in
:30:44. > :30:49.this country having a mentor and I would urge all schools to look at
:30:50. > :30:52.this, there is only people in schools and public sector and
:30:53. > :30:55.charities who would like to courage this and help young people make
:30:56. > :31:00.their potential. The prime as the likes to suggest he is the champion
:31:01. > :31:06.of localism, today, his government is seeking to gag local communities
:31:07. > :31:09.with a crass forced academies policy, which stamps out dissent,
:31:10. > :31:15.can he explain to the vast majority of parents, in Brighton and, who
:31:16. > :31:19.recently roundly rejected academy status in local schools, why it is
:31:20. > :31:46.their views will count for nothing in the future?
:31:47. > :31:50.I would argue that academy schools are true
:31:51. > :32:13.If you look at primary sponsored academies,
:32:14. > :32:14.they have better records and are improving faster.
:32:15. > :32:17.88% of the academy schools are rated rude or outstanding.
:32:18. > :32:19.This is true devolution, making sure every headteacher
:32:20. > :32:22.is in charge of their school and riding a great education we want
:32:23. > :32:25.My constituent has been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer and has
:32:26. > :32:28.shown outstanding courage in her fight against the disease
:32:29. > :32:31.but she did not get the support of compassion of the employer
:32:32. > :32:32.who wanted to dismiss certain capability procedures.
:32:33. > :32:35.Now her former partner is trying to get the House they own together
:32:36. > :32:37.repossessed, leaving her homeless while dying.
:32:38. > :32:39.Would the Prime Minister agree with me that we need better
:32:40. > :32:41.protection for people who are diagnosed with terminal
:32:42. > :32:45.illnesses and would you join with me and Jackie in supporting the changes
:32:46. > :32:49.The points you make are right and I will look very carefully
:32:50. > :32:53.In all of these things, as well as having clear rules,
:32:54. > :32:55.you also need organisations, whether it is employers or housing
:32:56. > :32:57.associations or landlords or trade unions to act with genuine
:32:58. > :33:02.compassion and think of the person, the human being at the other end
