:00:00. > :00:00.industries in the automotive sector that they bent on companies like

:00:00. > :00:00.Toyota, Ford who want us to the main part of the single EU market.

:00:00. > :00:25.Questions to THE SPEAKER: There's a process to

:00:26. > :00:28.follow. Wait his turn! Thank you very much, Mr Speaker, as always.

:00:29. > :00:34.The Prime Minister's attending the G7 in Japan. I've been asked to

:00:35. > :00:41.reply on his MAFF. This morning I'd meetings in ministerial colleagues.

:00:42. > :00:45.In addition to my duties in this House, I will have meetings again

:00:46. > :00:49.later today. I'm sure members 07 sit will disagree. The first priority of

:00:50. > :00:53.any Government is the defence and security of our country. Therefore,

:00:54. > :00:57.could the Chancellor outline for me, the steps this Government is taking

:00:58. > :01:04.to replace our Trident nuclear defence? My honourable friend is

:01:05. > :01:12.right. The first duty of Government is to defend the country. To for

:01:13. > :01:18.almost 70 years an independent nuclear deterrent has provided the

:01:19. > :01:20.ultimate insurance of four freedom. We'll renew Trident deterrent,

:01:21. > :01:26.bridge forward votes in this House. We ask MPs from all sides of the

:01:27. > :01:31.House to support this commitment to our national security. When she

:01:32. > :01:35.stands up, the honourable lady representing the Labour Party should

:01:36. > :01:45.inti Kate that support today. THE SPEAKER: Angela e Eagle. Thank

:01:46. > :01:53.you, thank you, Mr Speaker. We look forward to the vote on Trident. And

:01:54. > :01:59.he should get on with it! Mr Speaker, given the overnight news of

:02:00. > :02:03.the French authority's dawn raid on Google investigating allegations of

:02:04. > :02:08.aggravated financial fraud and money laundering, does the Chancellor now

:02:09. > :02:14.regret calling his cosy little tax deal with the same company good news

:02:15. > :02:20.for the British taxpayer? Well, it is good news that we are collecting

:02:21. > :02:28.money in tax from companies that paid no tax when the Labour Party

:02:29. > :02:32.was in office. Sand she seems to forget, she was the exchequer's

:02:33. > :02:38.secretary in the last Government. So, perhaps, when she stands up, she

:02:39. > :02:49.can tell us whether she ever raised with the Inland Revenue at the time,

:02:50. > :02:52.the tax affairs of Google? Mr Speaker, I think obviously the

:02:53. > :03:02.Chancellor has done a bit more research this time. I regard that as

:03:03. > :03:08.a compliment! Mr Speaker, I think from that answer, that the

:03:09. > :03:19.Chancellor is far too easily satisfied with his cosy little tax.

:03:20. > :03:22.I note that even the honourable member for Uxbridge and rice lip

:03:23. > :03:28.labelled this cosy little deal derisory. The British public think

:03:29. > :03:34.it's even worse. Despite all the rhetoric on his watch, the tax gap

:03:35. > :03:38.has actually gone up. His tax deal with the Swiss raised a fraction of

:03:39. > :03:46.the revenue he boasted that it would. And the OBR blaming the lack

:03:47. > :03:52.of resources in Revenue Customs. So why, Mr Speaker, has he sacked

:03:53. > :03:57.11,000 tax staff since 2010? And when is he going to give them the

:03:58. > :04:06.resources they need to do a proper job? Well, we increased resources

:04:07. > :04:12.for the HMRC to tackle tax evasion and avoidance. We've introdeuced a

:04:13. > :04:17.diverted profits tax so companies like Google can't shift their

:04:18. > :04:21.profits offshore nil. We made sure the banks pay a higher tax charge

:04:22. > :04:26.than they ever did under the last Labour Government. I come back to

:04:27. > :04:31.this, she was a Treasury minister, stood at this dispatch box. She's

:04:32. > :04:35.asking me what we've done to tackle tax evasion and tax avoidance. Did

:04:36. > :04:41.she ever raise, as the exchequer secretary, the tax affairs of

:04:42. > :04:48.Google? We should know this before she asks questions of this

:04:49. > :04:57.Government. Mr Speaker... THE SPEAKER: Members must calm

:04:58. > :05:03.themselves! And remain calm. Order! On both sides, they should take the

:05:04. > :05:11.lead from the right honourable and learned gentlemen, the member for

:05:12. > :05:17.Rushcliffe who's always sitting calm in a statistics manlike manner.

:05:18. > :05:23.That's the way to behave. An loo eagle. We all have the greatest

:05:24. > :05:27.respect for the Right Honourable Member for Rushcliffe. The

:05:28. > :05:32.Chancellor of the exchequer will know the exchequer secretary deems

:05:33. > :05:38.with taxes on vices not Google. I did my job in taxing vices when I

:05:39. > :05:44.was in the Treasury. He will be judged on results. He's been in

:05:45. > :05:49.office for six years. With France demanding ten times more from Google

:05:50. > :05:54.than he is, the public will make their own judgment. Mr Speaker,

:05:55. > :05:59.while Labour is campaigning to ensure the UK remains in the

:06:00. > :06:04.European Union because it's the best way to defend rights at work, as

:06:05. > :06:21.well as jobs and prosperity, the party opposite is split right down

:06:22. > :06:25.the middle. And... Mr Speaker, it's descending into vicious acrimony.

:06:26. > :06:31.Last week, the Employment Minister... Last week... Mr Speaker,

:06:32. > :06:36.last week the Employment Minister called for Brexit so there could be

:06:37. > :06:39.a bonfire of workers' rights. Does the Chancellor agree with her or

:06:40. > :06:44.does he agree with Len McCluskey that a vote to stay in the European

:06:45. > :06:53.Union is the best deal for Britain's workers? First of all, she confirmed

:06:54. > :07:00.that when she was in the Treasury, she asked absolutely no questions

:07:01. > :07:06.about the tax affairs of Google. When it comes to the European Union,

:07:07. > :07:12.as she knows, she agree on this, I think it's better Britain remains in

:07:13. > :07:16.the European Union. Why don't we have consensus on other issues, like

:07:17. > :07:21.having an independent nuclear deterrent. Let's have a consensus on

:07:22. > :07:27.supporting businesses rather than disparaging businesses. Let's have a

:07:28. > :07:31.consensus and not piling debts on the next generation but dealing with

:07:32. > :07:38.our deficit. Let's have a consensus the parties in this House should

:07:39. > :07:47.have a credible economic policy. Thank you, Mr Speaker. I think he's

:07:48. > :07:52.just agreed with Len McCluskey. The former work and Spences -- Work and

:07:53. > :07:57.Pensions Secretary said this week the Chancellor's Brexit report

:07:58. > :08:00.should not be believed by anyone. He branded the Chancellor Pinnochio

:08:01. > :08:06.with his nose just getting longser and longer with every fib.

:08:07. > :08:11.Meanwhile, the General Secretary to the TUC said the Trish remember's

:08:12. > :08:18.report caves us half a million good reasons to stay in the European

:08:19. > :08:32.Union. Who should the public listen to? I don't think it's any great

:08:33. > :08:37.revelation that different Conservative MPs have different

:08:38. > :08:42.views on the European Union. That's why we're having a referendum.

:08:43. > :08:47.Because this issue does divide parties and families and friends.

:08:48. > :08:56.And we made a commitment in our manifesto that the British people

:08:57. > :09:00.would decide this question. I might just observe, if she wants to talk

:09:01. > :09:04.about divisions in parties, whilst she's sitting here, the leader of

:09:05. > :09:08.the Labour Party is sitting at home wondering whether to impeach the

:09:09. > :09:17.former member of the Labour Party for war crimes. Mr Speaker, I'm glad

:09:18. > :09:21.he agrees with Francis O'Grady. A pitty he can't get half his

:09:22. > :09:25.backbenches and his own party to agree with him. Given that the

:09:26. > :09:30.former Work and Pensions Secretary has just called the Prime Minister

:09:31. > :09:36.disingenuous and the former Tory Mayor of London called him

:09:37. > :09:40.Demmeented, I -- demeanted, I wouldn't talk about Labour splits.

:09:41. > :09:47.He needs to get his own house in order. Following the second

:09:48. > :09:50.omnishambles budget this year, the Chancellor's approval rating have

:09:51. > :09:55.collapse by 80 points amongst his own party. Given he seems to be

:09:56. > :09:59.following a similar career path... Begin he seems to be following a

:10:00. > :10:04.similar career path, isn't it time he turned to Michael Portillo for

:10:05. > :10:08.advice? Last week, the former would be leader said of the Queen's

:10:09. > :10:14.Speech, after 23 years of careful thought about what they would like

:10:15. > :10:22.to do in power... Order. This question will be heard. Those

:10:23. > :10:27.preyting away should cease doing so, it is stupid and counter-productive.

:10:28. > :10:31.After 23 years of careful thought about what they would like to do in

:10:32. > :10:35.power, Michael Portillo said, the answer is nothing. There is nothing

:10:36. > :10:39.they want to do with office or power. The Government has nothing to

:10:40. > :10:46.do, nothing to say and thinks nothing. That's what he said. But

:10:47. > :10:51.even this nothing Queen's Speech has caused a revolt on his own

:10:52. > :10:57.backbenches and caused another U-turn to force the Government to

:10:58. > :11:01.defeat in its legislative programme in 92 years. Mr Speaker... Mr

:11:02. > :11:05.Speaker, doesn't that tell you all you need to know about this Prime

:11:06. > :11:10.Minister and Chancellor? It seems they can't even get their

:11:11. > :11:18.backbenches to vote for them. Nothing without a fight. I tell you

:11:19. > :11:23.what we've done in recent weeks, we've taken another million people

:11:24. > :11:29.out of tax altogether. We have frozen fuel duty. We've cut business

:11:30. > :11:33.rates for small businesses. We've seen the deficit fall by another ?16

:11:34. > :11:39.billion. We delivered a record number of jobs and introduced a

:11:40. > :11:44.national living wage. That's what we've been up to. What have the

:11:45. > :11:48.Labour Party been up to? She talks of ewe turns. They've turned the

:11:49. > :11:54.Labour Party from a party that gave Britain its nuclear deterrent to a

:11:55. > :11:59.pear that wants to scrap it. A party that created the academies programme

:12:00. > :12:04.which now wants to abolish them. A party that once courted businesses

:12:05. > :12:08.now disparages them. The prawn cocktail offences is just plain

:12:09. > :12:11.offensive these days. They've gone from a Labour Party that won

:12:12. > :12:13.elections to a Labour Party that's going to go on losing though

:12:14. > :12:24.elections. Mr Speaker, with 29 days to go

:12:25. > :12:29.before the most important decision in this country has faced in a

:12:30. > :12:34.generation we have a government in utter chaos, split down the middle,

:12:35. > :12:39.at war with itself, the stakes could not be higher and yet this

:12:40. > :12:44.government is at the mercy of its own rebel backbenchers, unable to

:12:45. > :12:48.get their agenda through Parliament, instead of providing the leadership

:12:49. > :12:55.the country needs they are facing a bitter proxy war over the leadership

:12:56. > :13:03.of their party. I noticed that all of the Brexit supporters have been

:13:04. > :13:17.banished from the front bench. CHEERING

:13:18. > :13:23.Well, Mr Speaker... It's nice to see the Justice Secretary here. I think

:13:24. > :13:29.the Chancellor has put the rest of his Brexit colleagues in detention.

:13:30. > :13:33.Instead of providing the leadership the country needs they are fighting

:13:34. > :13:36.a bitter proxy war over the leadership of their own party

:13:37. > :13:43.instead of focusing on the national interest, they are focusing on their

:13:44. > :13:49.narrow self-interest. We need a government that will do the best for

:13:50. > :13:56.Britain. What we've got is a Conservative Party focused only on

:13:57. > :14:00.themselves. CHEERING She talks about our Parliamentary

:14:01. > :14:07.party, let's look at hers. They are like rats deserting a sinking ship.

:14:08. > :14:12.We've got the shadow health minister wants to be the mayor for Liverpool,

:14:13. > :14:16.the member for Bury South wants to be the mayor for Manchester. The

:14:17. > :14:21.shadow leader wants to be the mayor for both cities. When we said we

:14:22. > :14:27.were creating job opportunities, we didn't mean for the whole Shadow

:14:28. > :14:31.Cabinet. They are like a Parliamentary party on day release,

:14:32. > :14:36.are they? When the honourable lady is here, they know the member for

:14:37. > :14:44.Islington will be back and it is four more years of hard labour.

:14:45. > :14:47.Today we are voting on a Queens speech that delivers economic

:14:48. > :14:54.security, protects national security, enhances life chances for

:14:55. > :14:59.the disadvantaged, it doesn't matter who stands at the dispatch box for

:15:00. > :15:03.the Labour Party, these days they are dismantling our defences,

:15:04. > :15:09.wrecking our economy, burdening people with debt and in their own

:15:10. > :15:14.report published this week called Labour Pars future, surprisingly

:15:15. > :15:22.long, they say this, they are becoming increasingly irrelevant to

:15:23. > :15:33.the working people of Britain. CHEERING

:15:34. > :15:44.Thank you, Mr Speaker, what a privilege it is to be called by you.

:15:45. > :15:49.If the Remain campaign has its way, I will have two apply to Jean-Claude

:15:50. > :15:59.Juncker by e-mail to speak. A wonderful example of European, not

:16:00. > :16:04.EU, cooperation. The Fuser Large is built in this country and the wings

:16:05. > :16:10.in Germany. Whether we remain inside or outside the EU will have no

:16:11. > :16:15.affect on this business. As the Chancellor knows, it is trade and

:16:16. > :16:22.hard work of businessmen and women that create jobs and prosperity not

:16:23. > :16:29.politicians and bureaucrats. It is their job is to nurture growth and

:16:30. > :16:43.enterprise... Order! I was looking for? For a question. Does my right

:16:44. > :16:46.honourable friend agree it is to nurture business and not make

:16:47. > :16:53.threats against enterprise and aspiration? Icon plie agree with my

:16:54. > :16:57.honourable friend that jobs and enterprise are created through the

:16:58. > :17:06.ingenuity of private businesses that we should support and nurture in

:17:07. > :17:15.this house. Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. Lachlan brain is seven

:17:16. > :17:21.years old and he attends the Gaelic medium primary school in Dingwall in

:17:22. > :17:25.the Scottish Highlands. Next week, as the Home Secretary is currently

:17:26. > :17:32.briefing him, the home Department plans to deport him and his family

:17:33. > :17:38.despite the fact that he arrived through a Scottish Government

:17:39. > :17:45.initiative from the Home Office to attract people to live and work in

:17:46. > :17:49.the region. This case has been front page news in Scotland. What does the

:17:50. > :17:57.Chancellor have to say to his family and the community who want him to

:17:58. > :18:02.stay? As I understand it, the family don't meet the immigration criteria.

:18:03. > :18:05.The Home Secretary says she is very happy to write to the Aiton

:18:06. > :18:12.honourable gentleman on the details of the specific case. This has been

:18:13. > :18:17.going on for weeks and that frankly is not good enough. Appeals have

:18:18. > :18:22.been made to the Home Secretary by the First Minister, the local MP,

:18:23. > :18:27.the local MSP, the community, it is wall-to-wall across the media of

:18:28. > :18:31.Scotland and the Chancellor of the Exchequer clearly knew nothing about

:18:32. > :18:39.it. The problem in the Highlands of Scotland is not immigration, it has

:18:40. > :18:46.been emigration. Even at this late stage, knowing nothing about it,

:18:47. > :18:53.speak to the Home Secretary, speak to the Prime Minister and get this

:18:54. > :19:02.sort of -- sorted out. The Home Secretary will write on the details

:19:03. > :19:06.of the case. Can I suggest to the Scottish Nationalists party, they

:19:07. > :19:11.have substantial tax and enterprise powers and if they want to attract

:19:12. > :19:14.people to the Highlands of Scotland, why don't they create an

:19:15. > :19:18.entrepreneurial Scotland that people want to move to from the rest of the

:19:19. > :19:25.United Kingdom where they can grow their business and have a successful

:19:26. > :19:38.life? Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. Why is the Chilcott

:19:39. > :19:41.reported not being published before the referendum? Is it because the

:19:42. > :19:45.Prime Minister and the Chancellor don't want the public to be reminded

:19:46. > :19:50.how the government of the day and the establishment are prepared to

:19:51. > :19:54.produce dodgy dossiers, make things up and distort the facts to con the

:19:55. > :20:02.public into supporting something they otherwise wouldn't ahead of the

:20:03. > :20:09.EU referendum? No, because it is an independent report and they decide

:20:10. > :20:16.when to produce it. In the spirit of consensus Mr Speaker, may I say that

:20:17. > :20:20.there are few things that unite the house more than a concentration on

:20:21. > :20:24.the periodic reviews of the boundary commission which has been studied

:20:25. > :20:31.with fierce intensity and covered as eyes. We do note that the electorate

:20:32. > :20:37.of the royal Boehner of Kensington and Chelsea has declined preserver

:20:38. > :20:41.severely -- precipitately and against all logic. Should the Prime

:20:42. > :20:49.Minister be concerned about this and what should he be doing? I thought

:20:50. > :20:56.he was the member of party -- parliament for Ealing. They are

:20:57. > :21:08.drawing up the boundaries and we will see their proposals.

:21:09. > :21:17.Will the Chancellor, Barnardo 's, the oldest children's charity

:21:18. > :21:22.celebrating 150 years of supporting and protecting the honourable

:21:23. > :21:25.children? Does he agree that young people need support beyond the age

:21:26. > :21:31.of 18 to maximise life chances and that the government knew care

:21:32. > :21:36.leavers, and which extends the duty of care to 25 is a fitting way to

:21:37. > :21:41.build an Barnardo 's proud history of giving young people best

:21:42. > :21:46.opportunities in life? I certainly agree with my right honourable

:21:47. > :21:50.friend that Barnardos is a brilliant charity and we should congratulate

:21:51. > :21:53.them on the work that they do. We have huge responsibility to the

:21:54. > :21:58.people in the care of the state and that does not end when they are 18

:21:59. > :22:03.years old. That's why in the Queens speech we are announcing new

:22:04. > :22:07.measures to include support from a personal adviser until they are 25

:22:08. > :22:10.and make sure other bodies like local authorities have care for

:22:11. > :22:14.those people and make sure all the opportunities are brought to their

:22:15. > :22:19.attention. It is part of the life chances strategy that lies at the

:22:20. > :22:24.heart of the Queens speech. The Chancellor wanted a march of the

:22:25. > :22:29.maker. Hundreds of Steelworkers are marching for their future and their

:22:30. > :22:33.communities. Why does the government backed China's bid for market

:22:34. > :22:41.economy status against the interests of the steelworkers? Why does he

:22:42. > :22:44.block tariffs against the interests of steelworkers. When will he put

:22:45. > :22:52.the interests of steelworkers ahead of his own? Of course, our thoughts

:22:53. > :22:58.are with the and their families at very difficult time. If we take a

:22:59. > :23:02.step back, we should all acknowledge that there is a global crisis in the

:23:03. > :23:06.steel industry that tens of thousands of jobs have been lost

:23:07. > :23:13.across Europe alone and many tens of thousands Billy on that. We are

:23:14. > :23:18.taking specific action today to help Tata and the port but works and

:23:19. > :23:21.related works across the country and the Business Secretary has been in

:23:22. > :23:27.India with the First Minister of Wales in a cross-party effort.

:23:28. > :23:30.Nationally, we have taken action to reduce energy charges are an energy

:23:31. > :23:34.intensive industries, we have taken action to make sure there is more

:23:35. > :23:39.flexibility with emission regulations, doing everything we can

:23:40. > :23:42.to help this industry at a very difficult time including making sure

:23:43. > :23:53.there are top tariffs on Chinese dumping and as a result on tariffs

:23:54. > :24:06.on Rebar still, those imports are down 90%. Would the Chancellor

:24:07. > :24:13.comment on the fact that Lord sugar has joined the government as Empress

:24:14. > :24:20.-- enterprise are show that people are abandoning the Labour Party. And

:24:21. > :24:29.can he confirmed that he has no plans for a sugar tax? We have hired

:24:30. > :24:34.Lord Sugar to head enterprise and he will bring knowledge and enterprise.

:24:35. > :24:43.Apparently, he has told the Labour Party, you're fired! I have a

:24:44. > :24:47.14-year-old autistic constituent who got on very well at primary school

:24:48. > :24:55.but since moving to secondary school has found them on compromising,

:24:56. > :24:59.leaving him with special school as his only option. What will the

:25:00. > :25:02.Chancellor do to make sure when the independent expert group looking at

:25:03. > :25:06.initial teacher training reports back that ministers will ensure that

:25:07. > :25:12.specific autism training performs part of their curriculum? I think

:25:13. > :25:15.the honourable lady raises an important issue and I think she will

:25:16. > :25:23.have a lot of sympathy from colleagues around the house. The

:26:15. > :26:29.bands are on the table and that we must be able to compete with their

:26:30. > :26:33.needs. Any service changes need to be made by the local NHS and they

:26:34. > :26:36.need to be based on clear evidence that they will deliver better

:26:37. > :26:40.outcomes for patients. It's right that these decisions are made by

:26:41. > :26:47.local clinicians rather than politicians but they do need to meet

:26:48. > :26:51.the key tests set out. Public and patient engagement, support from GP

:26:52. > :26:55.commissioners, be based on clinical evidence and consider patient

:26:56. > :27:01.choice. I would expect the local NHS to consider all these in any

:27:02. > :27:06.decision they reach. The House of Commons library estimates that 4.9

:27:07. > :27:10.million UK citizens live or work in other countries and yet week in,

:27:11. > :27:16.week out I meet constituents from overseas that cannot get visas,

:27:17. > :27:21.residences or citizenship here and the whole of Scotland is outrage at

:27:22. > :27:25.the threat of deportation for the Brain family. What is the difference

:27:26. > :27:32.between an economic migrant and an expat? The honourable gentleman and

:27:33. > :27:37.straights that we do have border controls in this country and we do

:27:38. > :27:42.have immigration rules that need to be complied with. That is a very

:27:43. > :27:48.important part of the European Union Schengen area agreements that we are

:27:49. > :27:53.not part. It is of the special status we have in the European

:27:54. > :28:00.Union. Would the Chancellor join me in welcoming the crew of HMS Duncan,

:28:01. > :28:04.the last of the type 45 destroyers presently moored in London for the

:28:05. > :28:09.Battle of Jutland commemorations. Would he support the work that the

:28:10. > :28:12.all-party group is doing to ensure all Armed Forces and their families

:28:13. > :28:19.have the very best housing that we can offer them? I absolutely join

:28:20. > :28:23.her in welcoming the crew of HMS Duncan and celebrating all they do

:28:24. > :28:27.on behalf of this country to keep us safe and to represent Britain around

:28:28. > :28:34.the world and of course we return them a duty of care and that is

:28:35. > :28:39.enshrined in government. That didn't exist before we came into government

:28:40. > :28:47.and we are honouring our promise to honour the armed services and our

:28:48. > :28:51.Navy. This government wants to raise tuition fees even higher. Why has

:28:52. > :28:54.the Chancellor changed his view since 2003 when he said that you

:28:55. > :29:03.wish and fees were attacks on learning? Back then, the Labour

:29:04. > :29:13.Party were voting for Jewish and fees and the difference is, we

:29:14. > :29:19.learned our lesson and they have forgotten theirs. -- tuition fees.

:29:20. > :29:26.This has given us the best universities in the world and the

:29:27. > :29:30.record number of students from disadvantaged backgrounds. They have

:29:31. > :29:35.an incredible policy to abolish tuition fees that they introduced

:29:36. > :29:40.and create a ?10 billion hole in the public finances. It's time they were

:29:41. > :29:52.straight with students that it is completely unavoidable.

:30:04. > :30:08.Which parts of the green belt will be needed to build on and where will

:30:09. > :30:15.it go? We need to provide houses, homes and infrastructure for these

:30:16. > :30:18.people. We made a clear commitment to protect the green belt and our

:30:19. > :30:24.planning laws that we introduced and proposed to introduce do meet those

:30:25. > :30:29.laws but I have to say to my honourable friend, we disagree on

:30:30. > :30:37.this issue on European union membership and I see no particular

:30:38. > :30:42.evidence from the Leave campaign that more people would come in.

:30:43. > :30:45.Let's agree on this, we have a referendum and it is not going to be

:30:55. > :30:59.wonder should underestimate public support for the BBC. 200,000 people

:31:00. > :31:06.have signed a petition over the removal of the recipes website. The

:31:07. > :31:11.government may have held back from some more extreme proposals but

:31:12. > :31:15.there is still a need for concern. Will they allow MPs to provide

:31:16. > :31:24.Parliamentary scrutiny that the charter renewal so Rob Lee deserves?

:31:25. > :31:30.We want a great public broadcaster. We have agreed a deal with the BBC

:31:31. > :31:34.that they have welcomed. On the specific issue she raises, that was

:31:35. > :31:40.an operational decision by the BBC and not a decision taken by the

:31:41. > :31:47.government. We have a great national public broadcaster in the BBC. We

:31:48. > :31:51.don't want a newspaper in the form of the BBC. As newspapers move

:31:52. > :31:56.online, the BBC want to be careful about what information they have on

:31:57. > :32:03.their website so we can also have a flourishing private press. I think

:32:04. > :32:08.the BBC have got that balance right. Will the Chancellor, firm and

:32:09. > :32:14.explain as the House of Commons library and the ONS figures for 2015

:32:15. > :32:21.clearly show that as we export 44% of goods and services within the

:32:22. > :32:26.single market, why it is that in relation to the other 27 member

:32:27. > :32:32.states we run a disastrous loss or deficit on these exports of 68

:32:33. > :32:37.billion per annum, up 9 billion from last year alone whereas Germany with

:32:38. > :32:44.the same 27 runs a profit or surplus of a massive 82 billion. Isn't that

:32:45. > :32:53.a bad deal? We are a massive exporter of services and they

:32:54. > :32:57.represent a 80% of the economy. We are home to one of the most

:32:58. > :33:02.successful car industries in the world and we export to the

:33:03. > :33:06.continent. We are part of the European Supply chain and that is

:33:07. > :33:11.why leading businesses are in favour of is remaining in the European

:33:12. > :33:15.Union. We disagree on this issue and that is why together we stood on the

:33:16. > :33:26.manifesto to have a referendum and let the people decide. Thank you, Mr

:33:27. > :33:29.Speaker. Headteachers, NHS, private-sector employers in my

:33:30. > :33:34.constituency are telling me they have few if any qualified applicants

:33:35. > :33:38.for a range of skilled roles and too many experienced staff are leaving.

:33:39. > :33:43.The single most common reason for this crisis is the cost of rental

:33:44. > :33:47.and purchase housing in west London which the government's housing

:33:48. > :33:56.policies will not addressed. Even the subsidies to buy... Order!

:33:57. > :34:00.Order! I'm sorry to say to the honourable lady, one sentence with a

:34:01. > :34:06.question at the end of it and we must press on. Will the Chancellor

:34:07. > :34:13.acknowledge this recruitment and retention crisis and do something

:34:14. > :34:16.about it? We have 25,000 more clinically trained staff in our

:34:17. > :34:21.national health service but we agree with her that there is a challenge

:34:22. > :34:25.of housing in London. I met with Sadik Khan earlier this week and we

:34:26. > :34:32.are going to see where we can agree with others is that can address that

:34:33. > :34:36.issue. In my right honourable friend's enthusiast and to bludgeon

:34:37. > :34:41.the voter into supporting the European Union that they don't

:34:42. > :34:48.really like, how can he justify planning to break the law? Is he

:34:49. > :34:53.aware that the public Administration select committee has now published

:34:54. > :35:03.three legal opinions from Speaker's Council, from... THEY TALK OVER EACH

:35:04. > :35:07.OTHER I hope the sentence is coming to an

:35:08. > :35:17.end with a question at the end of it. Very briefly. They make it

:35:18. > :35:21.perfectly clear that it is illegal for the government to keep their

:35:22. > :35:30.pro-EU propaganda on the government website during the third period.

:35:31. > :35:36.Turing the period, the government will comply with the law. Can I make

:35:37. > :35:40.a general observation. We have fought for the referendum which is

:35:41. > :35:47.taking place with huge issues at stake about Britain's economy,

:35:48. > :35:52.Britain's security and place in the world. Let's debate the substance

:35:53. > :35:55.rather than the process and then the British people will feel they have

:35:56. > :36:04.had a range of opinions and they can make their own mind up. The care

:36:05. > :36:06.sector faces a crisis made worse by the failure of the Chancellor to

:36:07. > :36:12.properly fund increases in the minimum wage. Local government

:36:13. > :36:17.Association has asked the Chancellor to bring forward ?700 million of

:36:18. > :36:22.care funding from 2019 to this year and next year to help with those

:36:23. > :36:28.extra costs. Will the Chancellor listen to local councils and form

:36:29. > :36:32.his own minimum wage policy? Of course we always listen to local

:36:33. > :36:37.authorities and we have given them the power which many have used to

:36:38. > :36:42.apply a social care precept and that has come in in April in many areas.

:36:43. > :36:46.At the same time, we have put more money into the better care fund and

:36:47. > :36:53.we are confident that social care is funded. More needs to be done to

:36:54. > :36:57.help the social care sector and the key is going to be integration with

:36:58. > :36:59.the national health service in the coming years so it is much more

:37:00. > :37:05.seamless as a service for our citizens. Last year at the

:37:06. > :37:10.Conservative Party conference, the Prime Minister said that the future,

:37:11. > :37:16.for we the state provided was shameful. The Dell or early grave on

:37:17. > :37:21.the streets. Yesterday the Prison Reform Trust produced a report

:37:22. > :37:26.identifying that far too high a proportion of children in care come

:37:27. > :37:35.in touch with the criminal justice system. Will he ensure that policies

:37:36. > :37:38.are implemented that prevents the unnecessary contact between the

:37:39. > :37:44.criminal justice system and children in care so that they can have a good

:37:45. > :37:47.future? I think he speaks very powerfully and, of course, we've got

:37:48. > :38:00.to have a care system that does the very best for children. The Queens

:38:01. > :38:04.speech has measures in that respect. The key thing is reforming our

:38:05. > :38:07.prison system so that people are punished for crimes but have a

:38:08. > :38:13.chance to rehabilitate themselves and that is one of the reforms I am

:38:14. > :38:17.proudest to be part of. A Southampton letting agency has been

:38:18. > :38:21.banned from trading for three years for not giving tenants their

:38:22. > :38:31.deposits back and using them for other purposes. The situation as far

:38:32. > :38:35.as letting agencies is concerned is that they are almost completely

:38:36. > :38:40.regulated and it is potluck as to whether residents get a fey deal or

:38:41. > :38:46.not. Is the Chancellor planning to do anything about this? We are

:38:47. > :38:50.looking to make sure that people who rent are getting proper consumer

:38:51. > :38:59.protection including from landlords who unreasonably withhold deposits.

:39:00. > :39:14.Order, order. Yes, points of order, at least a three course meal in my

:39:15. > :39:15.experience. Point of order. Thank you. I
