:00:00. > :00:00.function smoothly and effectively during this period. As have members
:00:00. > :00:10.of the Cabinet. We intend doing so in order to fulfil all the
:00:11. > :00:21.commitments we were elected on. Questions to the Prime Minister I
:00:22. > :00:27.know the whole house will join me in sending the profound
:00:28. > :00:31.I know the whole house will join with me incentive condolencds to the
:00:32. > :00:37.family and friends of those killed in the in Orlando on Sunday. This
:00:38. > :00:39.attack, along with the callous murder of a French policeman on
:00:40. > :00:43.Monday, is a stark remind of the challenge we face to defeat the
:00:44. > :00:48.poisonous ideology of Daesh both online and on our streets. H believe
:00:49. > :00:54.that together with our friends, our allies and our common values, we
:00:55. > :00:56.will prevail. This morning H had meetings with ministerial colleagues
:00:57. > :01:01.and added just two duties in this House, I shall have further such
:01:02. > :01:04.meetings later today. Thank you Mr Speaker. I share the Prime
:01:05. > :01:07.Minister's sentiments in thd Sabet is expressed to the victims,
:01:08. > :01:15.families and friends of those in Orlando. The Australian pardnt
:01:16. > :01:19.company of a United Kingdom company who see Europe as a major m`rket
:01:20. > :01:22.expansion have put on hold their plans to build a factory in the
:01:23. > :01:26.enterprise zone on the South Lowestoft industrial estate.
:01:27. > :01:29.Lowestoft has enormous potential as a centre for serving the European
:01:30. > :01:33.maritime market but does thd Prime Minister share my concern that this
:01:34. > :01:43.opportunity would unnecessarily be placed at risk if the UK be`ts the
:01:44. > :01:46.EU? -- leaves. I share his concern. I well remember visiting his
:01:47. > :01:50.constituency and seeing what a thriving business location Lowestoft
:01:51. > :01:54.is. He is right that many companies come to Britain and invest hn
:01:55. > :01:57.Britain for many reasons but one of the most important is access to the
:01:58. > :02:01.single market of 500 million customers. Next week we havd the
:02:02. > :02:06.opportunity to put our placd in that single market beyond doubt `nd I
:02:07. > :02:09.hope that we wake up on Jund 24 knowing that businesses are going to
:02:10. > :02:13.invest more in our country, create more jobs in our country, sde more
:02:14. > :02:16.growth in our country, becatse that will help the families of otr
:02:17. > :02:20.country and the unemployment figures today, another welcome fall in
:02:21. > :02:26.unemployment, we could see continued progress. Lets see our country
:02:27. > :02:30.moving forward. I concur and join with the Prime Minister in his
:02:31. > :02:35.remarks about the terrible deaths in Orlando. On Monday I joined a vigil
:02:36. > :02:40.of thousands of LGBT people in Soho in London to mourn the deaths of the
:02:41. > :02:44.49 and also I want to say, we say thank you to all those all over this
:02:45. > :02:48.country who attended vigils on Monday night to show their concern
:02:49. > :02:51.and their horror about it. Puite simply, we defeat such atrocities
:02:52. > :02:56.through our love and our solidarity and we need to send that message
:02:57. > :02:58.out. Three years ago, there was a cross-party agreement for the
:02:59. > :03:06.lamentation of section 40 of the Crime and Courts Bill and to proceed
:03:07. > :03:09.with Leveson to once prosecttors were concluded. The Prime Mhnister
:03:10. > :03:12.will be aware that today thdre is a lobby of Parliament by the victims
:03:13. > :03:16.of phone hacking. The Prime Minister said a few years ago that wd all did
:03:17. > :03:20.too much cosying up to Rupert Murdoch. Some of his Tory Brexit
:03:21. > :03:24.colleagues are certainly cosying up to Rupert Murdoch at the molent but
:03:25. > :03:27.will the Prime Minister givd a commitment today that he will meet
:03:28. > :03:33.the victims of press intrushon and assure them that he will kedp his
:03:34. > :03:39.promise on this? Let me agahn echo what he said about the Orlando
:03:40. > :03:43.bombings. In terms of the Ldveson issue, we said that we'd make a
:03:44. > :03:47.decision about a second stage of this inquiry once the criminal
:03:48. > :03:52.investigations and prosecuthons were out of the weighted top thex are
:03:53. > :03:56.still continuing and so that is the situation. -- out of the wax. I have
:03:57. > :04:01.met with victims of press intrusion and I'm happy to do so again. I
:04:02. > :04:05.think people can accuse me of many things but cosying up to Rupert
:04:06. > :04:10.Murdoch is not one of them. My question was, will he meet the
:04:11. > :04:12.victims of phone hacking? I hope you will because they deserve it
:04:13. > :04:19.anti-bra missed that he would meet them. A major thunder of thd Leave
:04:20. > :04:24.campaign said, and I quote, "If it were up to me, I'd privatisd the
:04:25. > :04:29.National Health Service". The honourable member for Uxbridge said,
:04:30. > :04:34."If people have to pay for NHS services they will value thdm all".
:04:35. > :04:37.Both he and the honourable lember for Surrey Heath are members of a
:04:38. > :04:43.government that has put the NHS into record deficit. These peopld are now
:04:44. > :04:51.masquerading as the saviours of the NHS. Wolves in sheep's clothing Did
:04:52. > :04:54.the honourable member for Totnes get it right when she rejected the
:04:55. > :04:59.duplicity of this argument hn the Leave campaign and decided to join
:05:00. > :05:05.the Remain campaign? I was delighted with what my right honourable.. My
:05:06. > :05:08.honourable friend, the Membdr for Totnes, said about changing her
:05:09. > :05:13.mind, which is a brave thing for politicians to do, and saying that
:05:14. > :05:18.she thought that the NHS wotld be safer if we remain inside a reformed
:05:19. > :05:22.EU. I believe that very profoundly, because the key to a strong NHS is a
:05:23. > :05:26.strong economy and I think there can't be any doubt that nind out of
:05:27. > :05:30.ten economists, the governor of the Bank of England, the IMF, the OECD,
:05:31. > :05:35.all of these other organisations, saying our economy will be stronger
:05:36. > :05:40.and it is a strong economy that delivers a strong NHS. Last week,
:05:41. > :05:43.the Prime Minister gave a wdlcome commitment to the closing of the
:05:44. > :05:49.loophole in the posting of workers directive. We will hold him to that
:05:50. > :05:52.but we are concerned about the exploitation of migrant workers and
:05:53. > :05:58.the undercutting of wages in this country as a result of that. On that
:05:59. > :06:03.issue, will the Prime Minister today commit to the outlawing of the
:06:04. > :06:07.practice of agencies that only advertise abroad for jobs that are
:06:08. > :06:11.in reality jobs in this country First of all, he and I absolutely
:06:12. > :06:14.agree about the evils of Modern Slavery Bill that is why thhs
:06:15. > :06:18.government passed the Modern Slavery Bill with all-party support. We ve
:06:19. > :06:21.doubled the fines that can be put on companies for exploiting labour in
:06:22. > :06:27.this way and we have strengthened the gang masters licensing `uthority
:06:28. > :06:29.and they have commenced and carried out a number of prosecutions,
:06:30. > :06:34.including in the eastern and, where I was yesterday, and so we continue
:06:35. > :06:38.to take action on every levdl to make sure people are paid their
:06:39. > :06:41.wages they should be paid and that protections are there on thd minimum
:06:42. > :06:46.wage and now on a national living wage. -- including in the E`st of
:06:47. > :06:50.England. I think all of those are vital and we will continue with
:06:51. > :06:54.those measures. I think people are entitled to a fair day's pax for a
:06:55. > :06:57.fair day's what. My question was about outlawing the practicd of
:06:58. > :07:02.advertising by agencies onlx in other countries. Tens of thousands
:07:03. > :07:05.of EU and other people who have migrated to Britain work in our
:07:06. > :07:09.public services and do a fantastic job. Many people in Britain are also
:07:10. > :07:13.concerned about immigration and their local communities. Surely what
:07:14. > :07:18.communities need is practic`l solutions like the migrant hmpact
:07:19. > :07:23.fund set up by Gordon Brown when he was Prime Minister to deal with the
:07:24. > :07:24.extra pressure on housing, schools and hospitals. Will the Prile
:07:25. > :07:29.Minister now concede that it was a mistake to
:07:30. > :07:34.abolish that fund and will he work with us to reinstate it as ` matter
:07:35. > :07:37.of urgency, to give support to those communities that are facing problems
:07:38. > :07:45.on school places and doctors' surgeries? He is absolutely right.
:07:46. > :07:47.In answer to the question about employment agencies that only
:07:48. > :07:52.advertise for overseas workdrs, we are looking at Battersea if we can
:07:53. > :07:57.ban that practice because wd don't believe that is right. Of course,
:07:58. > :08:01.the answer to so many of thdse questions is actually to make sure
:08:02. > :08:05.we are training, educating `nd employing British people and getting
:08:06. > :08:09.member qualifications they need to take on the jobs that are economy is
:08:10. > :08:14.creating an today's unemploxment figures are another reminder that.
:08:15. > :08:17.In terms of funds to help communities impacted by migration,
:08:18. > :08:21.we have a pledge in our manhfesto, which we are looking forward to
:08:22. > :08:24.bringing forward, with a controlled migration fun to make sure we put
:08:25. > :08:28.money into communities wherd there are pressures because, of course,
:08:29. > :08:31.there are some pressures and we do need to address them and I'l happy
:08:32. > :08:35.that we will be able to work on a cross-party basis to do that it cos
:08:36. > :08:39.I've said many times, there are good ways of controlling migration and
:08:40. > :08:42.one of them is the rules we are bringing in so people don't get
:08:43. > :08:45.instant access to our welfare system, but there are bad w`ys of
:08:46. > :08:46.controlling immigration. Le`ving the single market and wrecking our
:08:47. > :08:57.economy is certainly one of them. Today, a flotilla of boats hs due to
:08:58. > :09:02.come along the Thames compl`ining fishing quotas are not going to the
:09:03. > :09:07.UK domestic fleet. My have not seen them yet, but presumably thdy are on
:09:08. > :09:10.their way. The Prime Ministdr will be aware that reforms made three
:09:11. > :09:17.years ago put the power back into the hands of member states `nd it is
:09:18. > :09:22.the UK Government that has given nearly two thirds of the English and
:09:23. > :09:25.Welsh fishing quotas to just three companies, excluding small fishing
:09:26. > :09:32.communities along the coasts. Can the Prime Minister stop blaling
:09:33. > :09:36.Brussels on this and tell otr fishing communities what action he
:09:37. > :09:41.will take to allow them to continue their work and go further ott in
:09:42. > :09:47.collect Kingfish? First of `ll, can I thank him for the reforms we
:09:48. > :09:52.carried through in the last Parliament and the honourable member
:09:53. > :09:56.was crucial in delivering those changes. What we have seen hn the
:09:57. > :10:01.last five years is an incre`se in the value of the UK fishing industry
:10:02. > :10:07.of something like 20%. We export every year about one billion pounds
:10:08. > :10:12.worth of fish to the EU and there is no country in the world that has a
:10:13. > :10:16.trade agreement with the EU that doesn't involve tariffs, taxes on
:10:17. > :10:21.the sale of its fish. There is no way we would get a better ddal on
:10:22. > :10:24.the outside than the deal wd get on the outside. So working with fishing
:10:25. > :10:30.communities, working with fhshermen and keeping the market open and make
:10:31. > :10:34.sure we manage our fish stocks locally and appropriately is part of
:10:35. > :10:38.our plan. His government sthll handed quotas over to three very
:10:39. > :10:43.large companies at the expense of small communities around Brhtain, I
:10:44. > :10:48.hope he reflects on that. Mr Speaker, with eight days to go
:10:49. > :10:54.before the referendum, the Labour position is, we will be vothng to
:10:55. > :10:58.remain because it is the best way to protect families, protect jobs and
:10:59. > :11:05.protect public services. We would oppose any posed Brexit austerity
:11:06. > :11:10.budget, just as we have opposed any austerity budget put forward by this
:11:11. > :11:14.government. Will the Prime Linister take this opportunity to condemn the
:11:15. > :11:23.opportunism of 57 of his colleagues, who are pro-Leave, these ard members
:11:24. > :11:26.who backed the bedroom tax, backed cutting disability benefits and
:11:27. > :11:30.cutting care for the elderlx, who suddenly have now had a conversion
:11:31. > :11:37.to the anti-austerity movemdnt. Does he have any message for thel, does
:11:38. > :11:41.he have any message for thel at all? What I would say to the right
:11:42. > :11:47.honourable gentleman, there are very few times when he and I are on the
:11:48. > :11:51.same side of an argument. This must say to people watching at home, when
:11:52. > :11:55.you have the leader of the Labour Party and almost all of the Labour
:11:56. > :12:00.Party, Conservative Governmdnt, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, the
:12:01. > :12:03.Ulster Unionists and the Scottish National Party old saying, we have
:12:04. > :12:10.huge disagreements, but on this vital issue, the best option for
:12:11. > :12:14.Britain is to vote to remain in a reformed European union, re`lly says
:12:15. > :12:19.something. This is a huge choice for our country, choices have
:12:20. > :12:23.consequences. If we wake up on June the 24th and we have remaindd in,
:12:24. > :12:31.the economy can move forward. If we vote out, experts warn as wd have a
:12:32. > :12:35.small economy, lesser wages and less tax receipts. That is why wd would
:12:36. > :12:40.have to do have measures to address a huge hole in our public fhnances.
:12:41. > :12:44.Nobody wants to have an emergency budget, nobody wants to havd cuts in
:12:45. > :12:48.public services. Nobody wants to have tax increases. But there is
:12:49. > :12:54.only one thing worse than not addressing a crisis in your public
:12:55. > :13:00.finances through a budget, `nd that is ignoring it. If you ignore a
:13:01. > :13:04.crisis, you see your economx go into a tailspin, confidence is rdduced in
:13:05. > :13:12.the country. We can avoid all of this I voting Remain next wdek.
:13:13. > :13:28.Having recently undertaken ` real I'll tour of my constituencx, and
:13:29. > :13:35.Sam told -- sampled some of the nicest ales in the north, c`n I ask
:13:36. > :13:40.the Prime Minister to join le in nodding to the virtues and lassive
:13:41. > :13:44.benefits to the economies from small and medium-size breweries from up
:13:45. > :13:51.and the country? Happy to agree with my honourable friend, having spent
:13:52. > :13:55.last weekend in Kent and yesterday in Bury St Edmunds, I agree a large
:13:56. > :13:59.quantity of real ale is one of the best ways to get through thhs
:14:00. > :14:04.gruelling referendum campaign. The British beer industry is in good
:14:05. > :14:09.health because of the duty cuts from the Chancellor, because of the
:14:10. > :14:14.microbe Ruhe tax regime. We have a lot of craft beer coming through and
:14:15. > :14:20.the brewers I am talking to and going to see, they want the single
:14:21. > :14:29.market open and they want to remain in. On Orlando and the deaths in
:14:30. > :14:32.France, we aren't these benches join with the condolences expressed by
:14:33. > :14:37.the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. We are now only a
:14:38. > :14:42.week away from the biggest puestion the UK has faced in a long time and
:14:43. > :14:47.that is the continuing membdrship of the European Union. Exports, goods
:14:48. > :14:49.and services from the Scotthsh economy are massive important.
:14:50. > :14:56.Hundreds and thousands of jobs depend on them. Meanwhile, public
:14:57. > :14:59.services, including the NHS are supported by many hard-workhng
:15:00. > :15:05.people buy elsewhere in the European Union. Does the Prime Minister
:15:06. > :15:11.agree, if we want to protect jobs, public services, we must vote to
:15:12. > :15:17.remain in the European Union gesture Mark I do believe the most hmportant
:15:18. > :15:22.arguments is about the future of our economy. It seems obvious you can
:15:23. > :15:26.listen to the experts or make a common-sense argument. Todax we have
:15:27. > :15:30.access to a market of 500 mhllion people. For an economy like
:15:31. > :15:35.Scotland, such a big exporthng economy, there is no way we would
:15:36. > :15:39.get a better deal with the single market on the outside than we get on
:15:40. > :15:43.the inside. If we left we would seek our economy suffer, jobs suffer
:15:44. > :15:47.livelihood suffer. It is pl`in common sense. I agree with him, for
:15:48. > :15:52.jobs and livelihoods, we should remain in. There is a consepuence
:15:53. > :15:56.the public finances, if our economy is doing less well, public finances
:15:57. > :16:02.would be doing less well and that would have consequences for
:16:03. > :16:06.Scotland. Make a raise that with the Prime Minister? We have learned from
:16:07. > :16:08.a Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer and a former Labotr
:16:09. > :16:14.Chancellor of the Exchequer, there would be likely to be 30 billion
:16:15. > :16:21.pounds in cuts to public services or tax rises, where there to bd a
:16:22. > :16:25.Brexit vote. What impact wotld that have on public services in Scotland?
:16:26. > :16:32.Please, can we learn now before we vote? What impact would it have on
:16:33. > :16:36.the budget in Scotland that pays for the NHS in Scotland, schools in
:16:37. > :16:42.Scotland, local government `nd key public services. Is it not `nother
:16:43. > :16:47.reason why we must vote to remain in the European Union? What I would say
:16:48. > :16:52.to the right honourable gentleman, these figures are not based on what
:16:53. > :16:57.the Chancellor of the Exchepuer is saying, they are based on what the
:16:58. > :17:02.Institute for Fiscal Studies is saying. They are talking about at 20
:17:03. > :17:10.to 40 billion hole in our ptblic finances if regs it went ahdad.
:17:11. > :17:13.These are organisations quoted in this House against the government
:17:14. > :17:19.because they are respected for their independence. Decisions to cut
:17:20. > :17:24.public spending in the UK btdget do have an impact on Scotland. And to
:17:25. > :17:30.anyone who says, these warnhngs of course, they could be wrong, they
:17:31. > :17:33.could be inaccurate, this is an uncomfortable point to make to the
:17:34. > :17:37.right honourable gentleman, of course there were warnings `bout the
:17:38. > :17:43.oil price before the Scottish referendum. It turned out to be
:17:44. > :17:50.worse than the experts warndd. Thank you Mr Speaker. Since the tdrrorist
:17:51. > :17:56.attacks in Paris and Brussels, many of my constituents are worrhed that
:17:57. > :17:59.remaining in the EU increasds the risk of terrorism. Fear is
:18:00. > :18:04.exacerbated by the disgraceful comments of people like Nigdl
:18:05. > :18:08.Farage. Does my right honourable friend agree, security servhces are
:18:09. > :18:14.helped by the EU and not hindered? I would say directly to my honourable
:18:15. > :18:19.friend, I have done this job for six years, working with the Homd
:18:20. > :18:22.Secretary, I have seen how closely our intelligence and security
:18:23. > :18:27.services work with other services around the world. Of course we keep
:18:28. > :18:31.ourselves safe by investing in anti-terrorism policing and keep
:18:32. > :18:37.ourselves safe by working whth the Americans and the partnershhp. I am
:18:38. > :18:39.in no doubt increasing extent of intelligence exchange that takes
:18:40. > :18:45.place through the EU is of direct benefit. It is not just you need a
:18:46. > :18:49.border, you need information and intelligence to police the border
:18:50. > :18:55.properly. We are seeing an dnormous amount of exchange about crhminal
:18:56. > :19:01.records, passenger name records Outside the EU we can try and
:19:02. > :19:06.negotiate our way back into these agreements, but right now wd are in
:19:07. > :19:10.them and we are driving thel. Knowsley is expected to recdive ?10
:19:11. > :19:17.million in EU funding over the next three years. EU funding has helped
:19:18. > :19:22.attract his Mrs to the borotgh like QVC which created 2500 jobs. Isn't
:19:23. > :19:28.it the case of this important funding from the EU could bd lost if
:19:29. > :19:34.we vote to leave the Europe`n Union? The honourable gentleman makes an
:19:35. > :19:38.important point. Which is, hf you look at these independent, dconomic
:19:39. > :19:43.reports, they said there is no financial saving from leaving the
:19:44. > :19:47.EU. The Institute for Fiscal Studies said, we can include leaving the EU
:19:48. > :19:52.would not leave more money to spend on the NHS. Rather it would leave us
:19:53. > :19:56.spending less on public services or taxing more or borrowing more. I
:19:57. > :20:01.would argue there is a big dividend from remaining inside the ET and we
:20:02. > :20:06.will start to feel it next Friday as companies could see Britain have
:20:07. > :20:08.made a decision and job cre`tors and international investors would know
:20:09. > :20:18.Britain meant business and they would be investing in our country,

:20:29. > :20:33.declined since 2010, will hd focus on more jobs and a growing dconomy?

:21:05. > :21:09.Scotland, but they cannot vote next week. They leave for France on
:21:10. > :21:15.Sunday and are considering leaving permanently if we exit the DU. Will
:21:16. > :21:19.the Prime Minister join my call for them and others in a similar
:21:20. > :21:26.situation to stay, as they `re highly valued? There are many people
:21:27. > :21:29.who come to this country, work hard and make a contribution and help to
:21:30. > :21:37.build communities. It is important to get the numbers into the spec. 5%
:21:38. > :21:42.of the population are EU nationals, Italians, Germans, Polish and the
:21:43. > :21:52.rest of it. Only five peopld in the street will be EU nationals. Look at
:21:53. > :21:55.our NHS, 50,000 EU nationals, care homes, 60,000 EU nationals helping
:21:56. > :21:59.to look after elderly relathves with dementia and other conditions as
:22:00. > :22:04.they come to the end of thehr life. We do need to make sure people who
:22:05. > :22:06.come here are working and m`king a contribution, but we should
:22:07. > :22:16.celebrate the contribution they make. Given the government's recent
:22:17. > :22:22.enthusiasm for making forec`sts and predictions, can the Prime Linister
:22:23. > :22:27.please tell the House, in which year will we meet our manifesto
:22:28. > :22:32.commitment to reduce immigr`tion to the tens of thousands? At the last
:22:33. > :22:37.year for which EU migration was in Allen 's, the number of EU nationals
:22:38. > :22:40.and British nationals leaving our shores to work in Europe and the
:22:41. > :22:46.number of EU nationals coming to live and work here, the last year
:22:47. > :22:50.that was in balance was 2008. I would say to my honourable friend,
:22:51. > :22:54.yes, we need to do more to control migration from outside the DU, and
:22:55. > :22:58.we are doing that with the closure of bogus colleges and other
:22:59. > :23:06.measures. We are doing more inside the EU, not least saying people who
:23:07. > :23:10.come here, if they don't get a job after six months, they have to
:23:11. > :23:13.leave. If they were, they h`ve to contribute for four years bdfore
:23:14. > :23:15.they get full access to the welfare system. Those are big changds and
:23:16. > :23:18.sensible ways of controlling immigration. A nonsense of `lways
:23:19. > :23:23.pulling out of the single m`rket, damaging jobs and damaging the
:23:24. > :23:28.economy and having to explahn to our constituents why we have self impose
:23:29. > :23:32.a recession on our economy. Many from my constituency of Swansea are
:23:33. > :23:38.struggling to make ends meet. The World Trade Organisation sax if we
:23:39. > :23:41.leave the EU, we could face a major tariffs on trade. We would have to
:23:42. > :23:48.re-negotiate over 160 trade agreements. Does the Prime Linister
:23:49. > :23:52.agree with me, leaving the DU would hit hard-working families the most,
:23:53. > :23:59.raising the cost of living `nd it is to take a risk to take? The
:24:00. > :24:02.honourable lady is right. It is always the poorest who will get hit
:24:03. > :24:07.hardest if an economy suffers a recession. There are two waxs the
:24:08. > :24:14.cost of living can be impacted. If we lead the single market, go to WTO
:24:15. > :24:18.rules, we would have tariffs imposed on the goods they sell to Etrope.
:24:19. > :24:23.But also if the pound was to fall, which many independent experts
:24:24. > :24:27.forecast, the cost of living rises, shopping rises, the cost of holidays
:24:28. > :24:36.rises. It is not worth the risk we should not risk it, we should keep
:24:37. > :24:41.our country safe. Following the Chancellor's welcome announcement to
:24:42. > :24:45.launch the new Thames Estuary 2 50 growth commission, could thd Prime
:24:46. > :24:49.Minister outline his hopes for how the commission's focus will deliver
:24:50. > :24:52.the infrastructure and economic development that will allow North
:24:53. > :24:59.Kent to prosper, including ly wonderful constituency of Rochester?
:25:00. > :25:05.Always, whenever I get a qudstion from my honourable friend, H
:25:06. > :25:12.remember how grateful I am she is sitting for Rochester and Strood.
:25:13. > :25:16.Happy days. In terms of the 205 growth commission, the key `reas are
:25:17. > :25:20.skills and infrastructure. There is a serious amount of money bding
:25:21. > :25:24.committed to the infrastructure and we do need to look at things,
:25:25. > :25:27.including the lower Thames crossing, to make sure the economy in that
:25:28. > :25:35.region can make the most of its potential. 2500 people are dmployed
:25:36. > :25:39.in the ceramics industry in my constituency. Their jobs ard
:25:40. > :25:43.dependent on EU trades and rights are protected by the EU sochal
:25:44. > :25:49.chapter and their town centres have been rebuilt with EU funds. With his
:25:50. > :25:58.friends in the Leave campaign producing more spin than a potter's
:25:59. > :26:06.wheel... Does the Prime Minhster share my fear is that this by your's
:26:07. > :26:11.floors, a Brexit vote can ldave is picking up the pieces of a broken
:26:12. > :26:16.economy the years to come. H am going to pinch that sound bhte. The
:26:17. > :26:21.honourable lady is right, if we lead the single market and the Etropean
:26:22. > :26:25.Union, the council president has said, the process probably takes two
:26:26. > :26:29.years. After that you have to negotiate a trade deal with the
:26:30. > :26:33.European Union. If it is a trade deal like Canada, it could take
:26:34. > :26:37.seven years. We are looking at a decade of uncertainty for the
:26:38. > :26:43.economy. On the ceramic indtstry, I am advised by my Parliament`ry
:26:44. > :26:51.Private Secretary, who did do a worthwhile job of working in that
:26:52. > :26:55.industry before coming here... He may not be spinning wheels `ny more,
:26:56. > :27:00.but spinning for me very effectively! We exported billions of
:27:01. > :27:09.porcelain soup China and thd EU and if we were outside the EU, there
:27:10. > :27:12.would be a 12% tax. I don't want us to hit British manufactures,
:27:13. > :27:16.car-makers, aeroplane makers, we should be investing in thosd
:27:17. > :27:18.industries and helping them support and not making the situation more
:27:19. > :27:32.difficult, which is what regs it would do. 30 years ago when I was a
:27:33. > :27:38.lad, my parents quit their jobs .. 30 years ago my parents quit their
:27:39. > :27:44.jobs and they founded a small manufacturing business around our
:27:45. > :27:47.kitchen table. Today, British manufacturers, particularly small
:27:48. > :27:49.businesses are worried. Thex are worried because if we leave the
:27:50. > :27:55.European Union, they will continue to make their products to common
:27:56. > :28:01.European standards. Because they value the free market. They value
:28:02. > :28:07.the single market and they value the export. They are aware the Tnited
:28:08. > :28:10.Kingdom will have no say wh`tsoever in the formulation of those
:28:11. > :28:15.standards. And their compethtive advantage will be destroyed. What
:28:16. > :28:20.advice does my right honour`ble friend have for my parents, for
:28:21. > :28:24.small businesses and for thd millions of jobs that depends on
:28:25. > :28:31.them across the country washed your mark I always assumed my honourable
:28:32. > :28:36.friend was under 30, so I al shocked. But he makes an important
:28:37. > :28:40.point, if we were to leave we lose the seat around the table that sets
:28:41. > :28:44.the rules of the single market. Sometimes those rules can bd
:28:45. > :28:51.annoying or burdensome, but they are the rules we have two meet. If you
:28:52. > :28:56.leave and you have no say over those rules, you'd don't gain control you
:28:57. > :29:00.lose control. It is a cruci`l argument why the majority of small
:29:01. > :29:10.businesses back staying in DU, as well as a lot of larger as this is.
:29:11. > :29:20.That I endorse the comments and associate the SCOP about Paris and
:29:21. > :29:25.Orlando. Ironed assure the Prime Minister that the SDLP is bdhind him
:29:26. > :29:29.and his efforts to ensure a Remain vote but the Brexit campaigners have
:29:30. > :29:40.made our borders their resotnding war cry and will when it coles to
:29:41. > :29:45.the only land border between the UK and the EU, we're told nothhng will
:29:46. > :29:50.change. A critical economic change for Northern Ireland's voters in
:29:51. > :29:53.eight days... Camber primers to clarify this point and tell the
:29:54. > :29:58.people of Northern Ireland, what will become of the border if the UK
:29:59. > :30:03.votes to leave the EU? I th`nk him for his remarks about the Orlando
:30:04. > :30:07.shootings but on this issue, if we vote to stay in, we know wh`t the
:30:08. > :30:11.situation is. We know that the Common travel area works, wd know it
:30:12. > :30:15.can continue and everyone c`n have confidence in that. If we wdre to
:30:16. > :30:19.leave, and as the Leave campaigners want, make a big issue about our
:30:20. > :30:23.borders, then you've got a land border between Britain outshde the
:30:24. > :30:29.EU and the Republic of Irel`nd inside the EU. And thereford you can
:30:30. > :30:32.only either have new border controls between the Republic and Northern
:30:33. > :30:37.Ireland or, which I would rdgret usually, you would have to have some
:30:38. > :30:39.sort of checks on people as they left Belfast or other parts of
:30:40. > :30:44.Northern Ireland to come to the rest of the United Kingdom. We c`n avoid
:30:45. > :30:49.these risks. There are so m`ny risks here, risks to our children's jobs,
:30:50. > :30:55.risks Tony Hibbert in futurd, risks to our borders, risks to thd unity
:30:56. > :30:58.of the UK. -- risks to our children's fugitive top I s`y avoid
:30:59. > :31:03.the risks and vowed to remahn in the EU. Next week I will be vishting
:31:04. > :31:09.schools in my constituency to explain both sides of the ET
:31:10. > :31:12.argument to those who will be most heavily affected by a decishon they
:31:13. > :31:16.cannot make. Does the Prime Minister have any words for these people for
:31:17. > :31:20.the Remain segment? I am gr`teful for his hard work. This is `bout
:31:21. > :31:24.that even if those people in those schools aren't able to vote, will
:31:25. > :31:27.affect their futures, and I hope they will talk to their pardnts and
:31:28. > :31:32.grandparents after being inspired by my honourable friend about wanting
:31:33. > :31:36.to grow up in a country with opportunity. We're bound to have
:31:37. > :31:40.more opportunity if we remahn in a reformed EU with 27 other countries.
:31:41. > :31:44.I also think it goes to a point about what sort of country want our
:31:45. > :31:48.children to grow up in, not just one of economic and job of that unity is
:31:49. > :31:52.but one where our country is able to effect change and get things done in
:31:53. > :31:55.the world. We don't diminish ourselves inside the EU, we enhance
:31:56. > :32:03.the power of Britain and thd greatness of our country. Old Bob
:32:04. > :32:11.Approximately 11,000 Marks Spencer is employees, many with mord than 14
:32:12. > :32:16.years' service, are about to get a serious pay cut. Cuts to Sunday pay,
:32:17. > :32:19.bank holiday and anti-social hours pay, all made on the back of the
:32:20. > :32:23.national living wage, means they will take home less next ye`r than
:32:24. > :32:29.they do this year, with somd losing up to ?2000. This is not just any
:32:30. > :32:34.pay cut, this is a big, fat Marks and Spencer pay cut. Does the Prime
:32:35. > :32:38.Minister agree with his Chancellor that cutting take home pay `t M S or
:32:39. > :32:43.anywhere else on the back of the national living wage is wrong and,
:32:44. > :32:48.if so, will he moved to close the loopholes that make this possible?
:32:49. > :32:52.Obviously, we want to see the national living wage leading through
:32:53. > :32:56.into the bar having higher take home pay, not lower take home pax, and we
:32:57. > :33:00.would urge all companies to make sure that is the case. I haven't
:33:01. > :33:04.seen the information about Larks Spencer but they know, like any
:33:05. > :33:08.retailer, that they need to attract and retain and motivate staff that
:33:09. > :33:11.they have and it's absolutely crucial in retail, particul`rly with
:33:12. > :33:14.all the competition with online that they continue to do th`t, and
:33:15. > :33:23.they won't do that if they cut people's pay. I agree with the Prime
:33:24. > :33:28.Minister on Europe. When he said to the CBR on the 9th of November last
:33:29. > :33:31.year, and I quote, "Some people seem to say that Britain couldn't
:33:32. > :33:36.survive, couldn't do OK outside the EU, I don't think that is true, the
:33:37. > :33:41.argument isn't whether Brit`in could survive outside the EU, of course it
:33:42. > :33:45.could. So if, as I hope, despite the panic driven negativity frol the
:33:46. > :33:51.Remain camp and Downing Strdet, the British people vote next wedk to
:33:52. > :33:56.become a free and independent nation again. Will my right honour`ble
:33:57. > :34:01.friend join me in embracing the optimism and opportunity for our
:34:02. > :34:06.country and our people that such a momentous decision would brhng? I
:34:07. > :34:12.would say to my honourable friend, as I said at the CBI, of cotrse
:34:13. > :34:16.Britain can survive outside the EU. Nobody is questioning that. The
:34:17. > :34:19.question is, how are we going to do best? How are we going to create the
:34:20. > :34:24.most jobs, the most investmdnt, have the most opportunities our children,
:34:25. > :34:28.we'll do the greatest power in the world, get things done? And all
:34:29. > :34:36.those issues, stronger, safdr, better off, the arguments are on the
:34:37. > :34:39.Remain aside. Could I assochate myself and, indeed, all of ly party
:34:40. > :34:42.across the country with the remarks he made earlier on about thd
:34:43. > :34:49.killings in France and the brutal, phobic murders in Florida. The
:34:50. > :34:55.killer and his vicious, homophobic act do not speak for Islam. The
:34:56. > :34:59.wealthy Eve eat fuelling thd Leave campaign will be an harmed by the
:35:00. > :35:06.inevitable hike in interest rates that will follow Britain's dxit from
:35:07. > :35:10.the EU and the decline in sterling. The rate rise, however, will have a
:35:11. > :35:15.hit on millions of ordinary British people. It will push people to lose
:35:16. > :35:20.their homes through repossession and push low-income people further into
:35:21. > :35:24.crippling debt. Was he advises Tory Brexit colleagues that therd is a
:35:25. > :35:29.long-term economic plan on offer, in which he can help those people who
:35:30. > :35:35.are hard-working families not to suffer? It is to vote Remain on
:35:36. > :35:39.Thursday. He and I are often on opposing sides of arguments but I
:35:40. > :35:43.think it says volumes about the breadth of the campaign to remain in
:35:44. > :35:49.a reformed EU that we have the Liberal Democrats, as well `s the
:35:50. > :35:52.Labour Party, the Greens, the trades unions, and so many others, coming
:35:53. > :35:55.from different perspectives but all saying our economy will be better
:35:56. > :35:59.off so therefore families whll be better off, our country will be
:36:00. > :36:03.better off, if we remain in, and he's absolutely right in wh`t he
:36:04. > :36:06.says about interest rates. The last thing homeowners, home-buyers and
:36:07. > :36:11.our country needs is a hike in interest rates damaging our economy.
:36:12. > :36:17.I'm glad he's bought a long,term economic plan and that should have,
:36:18. > :36:25.as part of its plan, remainhng in reformed EU. Can I congratulate him
:36:26. > :36:29.for an array our manifesto pledge -- honouring our manifesto pledge and
:36:30. > :36:31.delivering this historic referendum. Unfortunately, we have heard some
:36:32. > :36:37.hysterical scaremongering dtring this debate. There are thosd in this
:36:38. > :36:41.House, and in the other place, who believe that if the British people
:36:42. > :36:45.decide to leave the EU, there should be a second referendum. Can he
:36:46. > :36:50.assure the House and the cotntry that whatever the result on June 24,
:36:51. > :36:56.his government will carry ott the wishes of the British peopld. If the
:36:57. > :37:02.voters to remain, to remain, and if the voters to leave, which H hope it
:37:03. > :37:05.is, then we leave. I'm very happy to agree with my honourable frhend In
:37:06. > :37:10.means we remain in a reformdd European Union, out means wd come
:37:11. > :37:14.out. And as the Leave campahgners have said and others have s`id, out
:37:15. > :37:20.means out of the European Union out of the European single markdt, out
:37:21. > :37:25.of the council of ministers, out of all of those things, and it then
:37:26. > :37:28.means a process of delivering that which will take at least two years,
:37:29. > :37:32.and then delivering a trade deal which could take as many as seven
:37:33. > :37:35.years, so I would say to anxone still in doubt - and there `re even
:37:36. > :37:39.members in this House still thinking about how to vote - if you haven't
:37:40. > :37:43.made up your mind yet, if you are still uncertain, when you think of
:37:44. > :37:50.that decade of uncertainty for our economy and everything else, don't
:37:51. > :37:54.risk it, and vote Remain. The North Middlesex Hospital accident and
:37:55. > :37:57.emergency unit is incompletd meltdown. Will the Prime Minister
:37:58. > :38:04.commit to taking swift action to tackle this crisis? I do understand
:38:05. > :38:09.it is a very busy accident `nd emergency unit. It has recehved over
:38:10. > :38:14.30,600 patients through its doors in April alone but it has managed to
:38:15. > :38:18.carry out 40,000 operations and more than 62,000 diagnostic tests every
:38:19. > :38:23.year. If we look at what has happened since 2010, there `re 20
:38:24. > :38:31.more doctors, 200 mating more nurses recruited by the trust. -- 280 more
:38:32. > :38:34.nurses. But I think this coles out to the core argument of tod`y. If we
:38:35. > :38:37.remain in, we will have a stronger economy and then we have to make
:38:38. > :38:41.sure we take the proceeds of growth in that economy and continud to put
:38:42. > :38:47.them into the NHS, as I've `lways done as Prime Minister. I'm looking
:38:48. > :38:52.forward to the British people giving me the opportunity to vote `gainst
:38:53. > :38:55.the vindictive emergency budget Will my right honourable frhend
:38:56. > :39:01.explained that if the Government is so strapped for cash, why is it
:39:02. > :39:10.still intent on spending ?50 billion on HS2? The point is that wd will be
:39:11. > :39:16.strapped for cash if you believe the Institute for Fiscal Studies, or the
:39:17. > :39:18.national Institute for it, can social research, both impeccably
:39:19. > :39:23.Independent, who say there will be a hole in our public finances between
:39:24. > :39:28.20 billion and 40 billion. Hf the economy shrinks and you havd fewer
:39:29. > :39:31.jobs and lower wages, you gdt less tax receipts. If you have ldss tax
:39:32. > :39:34.receipts, clearly you either have to make cuts or you have to put up
:39:35. > :39:39.taxes or you have to increase borrowing. It is a simple m`tter of
:39:40. > :39:43.mathematics. There is an easy way to avoid getting into that sittation
:39:44. > :39:48.and that is devoted to stay in a reformed EU next Thursday. Order.
