Hello and welcome to the Week In Parliament. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
It's still a UK Parliament, but now with added features. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
The Speaker signals a historic change in the rules. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
The House must forthwith resolve itself into the legislative | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
grand committee of England and Wales and, thereafter, | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
into the legislative grand committee of England. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
Scottish and Northern Irish MPs are prevented from voting on issues | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Meanwhile, there could be changes in the Lords as well. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
I urge this House not to abandon its right to say no. | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
One of the strengths of Parliament is that the two Houses | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
And also in the Houses of Parliament, the party | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
leaders clash over houses of a more general kind. | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
The Prime Minister gave no assurances to tenants, | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
If you are a tenant, you have the right to buy. | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
If you want to buy a home, here is help to save. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
As attention focused on Major Tim Peake's spacew`lk, | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
back on Earth, was it one slall step for the Commons, | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
or a giant leap for the constitution? | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
For the first time, a Bill being debated in the Commons entered | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
a new stage when it could bd decided on | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
It was called a Legislative Grand Committee, meaning | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland MPs were excluded, at least frol voting. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
The historic change was brotght in on the Government's | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
There will now be a joint ddbate on the consent motion for England | :01:49. | :01:57. | |
and Wales and the consent motion for England. | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
I remind honourable members that although all members may spdak | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
in the debate, if there are divisions, only members | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
representing constituencies in England and Wales may vote | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
on the consent motion for England and Wales, | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
and only members representing constituencies in England m`y vote | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
I am proud to be the first linister to stand at this dispatch box | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
to address the very first legislative grand committees | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
of England and Wales and of England only. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
Could the Secretary of Statd, since so many of the clauses have | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
been designated as applying exclusively to England or England | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
and Wales, could he tell thd House and those members who are excluded | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
from the vote, if there is one, that he has evidence that not | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
a single person from Northern Ireland is a landlord | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
in England and Wales and thdrefore has no particular interest hn this? | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
In many ways, we are the department of England. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
It is therefore fitting that the majority of clauses | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
in Mr Speaker's certification before this very first committee rdlate | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
It is worth noting the signhficance, how historical this is, | :03:15. | :03:29. | |
because for the first time in the history of this Housd of this | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Parliament, Members of Parlhament will be banned from participating | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
in divisions of this House based on nationality and geographhc | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
The honourable member's constituents in Perth and North Perthshire | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
who may have voted for him surely see this as a very fair mothon | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
to safeguard the United Kingdom by having a fair... | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
What they have done today with the creation of this grand | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
committee is create two Members of Parliament in this house, | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
that is a thing that we objdct to, that is the issue that | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Many of us welcome some moddst justice for England at last, | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
and we welcome the fact that at a time when Scotland | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
is being given so many powers of self-government, | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
we now have a small voice and a vote. | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
I encourage the Minister to go further and make sure we have | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
justice over money and over lawmaking for England | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
We want and recognise the nded for a stronger voice | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
We have always said a voice not a veto. | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
This grand committee is a vdto simply for those members elhgible. | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
That should not be happening in this way in a unified Parliament | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
I remind members, although H don't think members need to be relinded, | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
that if there is a division on the consent motion | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
for England and Wales, only members representing | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
constituencies in England and Wales may vote. | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
But I do remind honourable lembers that this extends to expressing | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
an opinion by calling out when the question is put. | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
I know the honourable gentldman knows that I know a Scottish | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
The question is the consent motion relating to England and Walds | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
As many as are of that opinion, say aye. | :05:43. | :05:54. | |
The first ever vote by only English and Welsh MPs. The English team | :05:55. | :06:18. | |
again, was it time to replace the UK National Anthem with an English | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
anthem, at least in sporting events? Should God Save The Queen bd | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
replaced with something mord like this? | :06:26. | :06:37. | |
One of the songs suggested by the proposed English anthem. | :06:38. | :06:51. | |
It has often seemed incongrtous when England has played agahnst | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
other nations, the Welsh and Scots sing a nation that reflects their | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
identity, but England sing `bout Britain, we see Britain and England | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
as synonymous, not only denxing the English to celebrate its nation but | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
it is a cause for resentment amongst other countries in the Brithsh | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
Isles. He said there'd been suggestions | :07:14. | :07:14. | |
for an English anthem God Save The Queen, Jerusaldm and | :07:15. | :07:24. | |
land of Hope and Glory, Jertsalem was the clear winner. Just `s | :07:25. | :07:34. | |
Jerusalem was the favoured choice of those who voted in the Commonwealth | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
Games poll, it seems to be `n early favourite amongst those in the | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
public. A campaign group is campaigning for jewellery Southern | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
to be played before England rugby matches. | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
One MP spoke up for keeping the British national anthem. | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
What greater pleasure can there be for a true born English man or | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
Englishwoman to listen to otr own national anthem? A national Anthem | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
for our whole country, our whole United Kingdom, of which England is | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
but a part, but an important part, and to listen to those words that | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
link us to our sovereign, who is part of that chain that takds us | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
back to our memorial historx? Toby Perkins won the right | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
to take his Bill on. But it's not likely | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
ever to become law. Now, could housing be one | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
of the main themes of this Last weekend David Cameron | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
unveiled his ?140 million plan to tackle poverty by pledging | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
to demolish brutal high-risd tower blocks and bleak housing schemes, | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
so as to tackle drug abuse At Prime Minister's Questions, | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn wondered if David Cameron h`d | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
thought about the wishes Every estate he announces hd wants | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
to bulldoze will include tenants and people that have | :08:53. | :09:02. | |
bought their homes on Right To Buy. Will those people, the leasdholders, | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
be guaranteed homes on thosd rebuilt estates that he is | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
proposing to build? Of course, I accept it is not | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
as carefully thought Which I gather is still going on, | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
it hasn't actually finished yet What we want to do is go | :09:17. | :09:26. | |
to communities where there `re sink estates and housing estates that | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
have held people back and agree with those local councils, | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
those local people, and makd sure that tenants get good homes, | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
make sure homeowners get rehoused I noticed the Prime Minister did not | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
give any guarantee to So there is another probablx larger | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
group on most estates that I have a question to ask hil | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
on behalf of, a tenant by the name of Darryl, who says, | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
will the Prime Minister guarantee that all existing tenants | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
of the council estates earm`rked for redevelopment will be rdhoused | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
in new council housing in their current communities | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
with the same tenancy conditions We are not going to be able to deal | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
with these sink estates unless we get the agreement | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
of tenants, unless we show how we will support homeowners, | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
unless we show how we will Isn't it interesting, | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
who here is the small-C conservative who is saying to people, | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
stay stuck in your sink est`te, have nothing better than wh`t Labour | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
gave you after the war? We are saying, if you are a tenant, | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
have the right to buy, if you want to buy a home, | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
here is help to save, if you are in a sink estate, | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
we will help you out. David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
in their weekly joust. Now cast your mind back to October, | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
and there was a mini-crisis The House of Lords had voted down | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
the Government's planned despite peers supposedly | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
having little or no say Ministers ordered a review | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
into the powers of the Lords. It concluded that peers shotld | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
lose their capacity to block Peers would instead be allowed | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
to send these laws back to the Commons, forcing MPs | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
to vote again, but would only be | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
able to do that once. The person in charge of the review | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
led a debate on his proposals. By having the ability to do | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
what the House of Lords does so well, to ask the House | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
of Commons to think again, we are doing what we have always | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
done, and to limit it to a ping without a pong, we are giving | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
the House of Lords certain rights they don't have at the moment, | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
we have a conversation between the Houses but | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
they have the final say. A second chamber, however | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
it may be constituted, should not be an echo | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
of the House of Commons. We are interested in ways | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
of strengthening the role of Parliament as a whole, | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
not to convert the House of Lords into something more akin | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
to an important debating society. Speaking as somebody who has served | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
in government for 13 years, it is no bad thing that the House | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
of Lords does have the chance to revise legislation, to s`y, | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
no matter how inconvenient, I urge this House not | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
to abandon its right to say no. Use it prudently, yes, | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
use it sparingly, yes, It is part of a wider concern | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
by the Government, they don't like it when they have been | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
defeated, no government likds it. One of the strengths | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
is that the houses are complementary, but that is | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
an argument against the removal of the House, as the House | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
of Commons cannot take up the slack. Something needs to be done | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
about the use of statutory instruments, secondary legislation, | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
and option three has within it If this clause three | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
is delivered by statute, what an occasion that is for | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
a future government to say, why don't we stop them doing that | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
with primary legislation as well? We will end up with legislation | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
preventing us from more than token opposition to anything | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
they put through. The House sometimes sells itself | :13:52. | :14:01. | |
short, it is more than just a revising chamber, it is a chamber | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
which on many occasions has reiterated the fundamental | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
foundation of what it is to live. Some moments from Wednesday's debate | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
in the House of Lords. Not all that much support | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
there for Lord Strathclyde's proposed changes to | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
how the Lords works. I'm joined in the studio | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
now by Dr Hannah White Welcome. We saw quite a bit of | :14:21. | :14:35. | |
reluctance from peers, thesd changes may be of interest to close | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
observers of Parliamentary procedure, how much significance | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
should we attach to them? In one sense, they would not reallx change | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
status quo very much at all, we would not see a radical difference | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
in what goes on. Actually, the review in some ways is a bit of a | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
distraction from wider issuds that we all ought to be thinking about, | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
about how the house of Lords is structured, its membership, and also | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
the wider issue which was r`ised by the tax credits debate, abott what | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
the government chooses to do using secondary registration. | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
Tears, always resistant to having their wings clipped, but thd | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
government could force thesd changes through. They could do that. I'm not | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
sure that it would be a wisd course of action but they could, if it | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
decided that was a priority for them to do. He suggested that it was a | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
bit of an opportunity missed for Lord Strathclyde. I would h`ve | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
thought so. It is odd to look at secondary legislation procedure in | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
isolation. The review identhfied wider issues such as the ond I | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
mentioned about what the government chooses to do using secondary | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
legislation, which were not covered in any depth, and also, the issue of | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
how the House of Commons looks at secondary legislation, argu`bly much | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
less well than the House of Lords. It was an opportunity missed, as you | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
say. What changes would you like to see to the House of Lords, ` broad | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
question I know, but perhaps you could summarise? As a starthng | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
point, it is a thorny issue which many have struggled with, I would | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
like to see the introduction of a retirement age for peers. And a | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
concerted effort for all parties to think about ways to bring down the | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
numbers of the House of Lords, one of the largest legislatures in the | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
ward. Looking to the future, will we see a more harmonious 12 months and | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
is of the Commons- Lords relationship, do you think? It | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
depends on both parties. It depends on how the government decidds to | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
proceed with the Lord Strathclyde proposals, whether it decidds to | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
proceed at all or whether it leaves a sword of Damocles hanging over the | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
House of Lords, and it depends whether they, how they decide to | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
deal with pieces of secondary legislation. Thank you for joining | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
us on the programme. Definitely not the last word | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
about the House of Lords. A look now at some of the other | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
stories in Parliament Peers have given first approval | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
to the Trade Union Bill, Under the Bill, strikes would only | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
go ahead if half a union's And in some sectors, | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
at least 40 per cent of members This Bill is about bringing more | :17:28. | :17:37. | |
democracy and transparency to industrial orations and it seeks to | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
achieve a better and fairer balance between the rights of workers and | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
the needs of people who relx on important public services. H don't | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
think it will be much of a surprise to anyone when I say that the bill | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
is extraordinarily partisan, vindictive and selective. It | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
breaches legal conventions, civil liberties, agreement between | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
political parties and reintroduces adversarial is. | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
Put on the spot over intelligence gathering. | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
Following the killing of two British jiahidists in an RAF drone strike | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
in Syria, David Cameron is challenged over how much | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
the Intelligence and Security committee, or ISC, should bd told | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
If you have excluded the circumstances surrounding the use of | :18:16. | :18:28. | |
that military asset, the military operation from the ISE, havdn't you? | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
No, I haven't, I have said they can look at the intelligence and | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
rounded... Hold on a second, hang on. We are currently engaged in an | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
operation to defeat a terrorist organisation that is intendhng to | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
blow up, kill and maim our citizens. We have to focus on that and think | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
about how we keep this country safe. It is a current operation. Hf you | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
don't think there is a cell of people sitting in Raqqa, trxing to | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
do damage to this country, then you do not know what your talking about. | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
Prime Minister, I am asking whether you have excluded the milit`ry | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
aspects of this operation from the ISC inquiry. | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
And bravely going across that final frontier. | :19:17. | :19:17. | |
The activities of astronaut Tim Peake inspire MPs to debate | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
space exploration and how bdst to encourage | :19:21. | :19:21. | |
He sends us these extraordinary aerial views alongside spacd suit | :19:22. | :19:38. | |
selfies, he gets a feeling of life on the space station as well as | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
these iconic views. The valte of the space sector has gone up to ?11 8 | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
billion in 2014. It has almost doubled with a potential to double | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
again. We need to believe what we can do. And I think this mission of | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
Major Tim people achieve th`t. I call on ministers to be 's lethod | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
and enable this industry across the entire UK, so that it can lhve long | :20:06. | :20:06. | |
and prosper. It was last summer that the car | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
maker Volkswagen admitted that 11 million of its vehicles had been | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
fitted with software designed to defeat checks | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
on emission controls. When the UK boss of Volkswagen came | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
to a committee session about the scandal, the questioning | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
quickly accelerated. You claim to be unable to qtantify | :20:21. | :20:33. | |
differences between laboratory testing and real-world levels but | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
experts suggest that your bdcause would have been sensitive under | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
real-world driving conditions. There is no prescribed one-off botndary | :20:44. | :20:52. | |
for what real-world driving is. I would invite you to go and look at | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
the independent analysis whhch has got nothing to do with us, nothing | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
to do with the major manufacturers. Those independent surveys m`y not | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
necessarily be full for real-world driving, because you and I could go | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
to work on the same route and drive the prickly. So there is no | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
definition of real-world drhving. I have got to renew down on this one. | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
I'm not saying that there not other manufacturers who might simhlar | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
problems, but why are you in the dock? Why can't you give us a | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
straight answer as to when xou drive your brand-new diesel vehicle out of | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
the showroom, that in real-world terms, how much pollution is that | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
car creating or not? You should know that, and surely you should know | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
after all the trouble you h`ve had in America and across Europd, I | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
cannot believe for one moment that you don't know that. I do not know | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
because there is no prescription or definition of real-world drhving. If | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
you look at the ADEC, the Gdrman motoring Association, they have | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
drawn out a definition of rdal-world driving and they have put it on the | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
Internet and I invite you to look at that. You are the one with the | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
problem with trust. If I bux a car from you, and I do buy Volkswagens, | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
I am not against them in anx direction at all, but if I buy a | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
brand-new car from you and xou claim that it does by, and then it does Y, | :22:20. | :22:29. | |
you said you don't know, I do not accept that. That is not a | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
legitimate answer. I have to refute what you said. You said to le why am | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
I in the dock? The reason I am sitting here for Volkswagen is | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
because in the emissions testing regime, the software did solething | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
to change the characteristics of the marks. That is clear. And I | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
apologise for that profuselx. Now, let's move onto real-world. There | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
was no evidence, and it is ly strong position that in real-world driving, | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
pre-and post, there is no difference. Don't you think that | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
actually your customers desdrve not just having their cars fixed but a | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
degree of compensation for the breach of trust they have stffered? | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
To pay compensation has to be a loss, and at this stage I sde no | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
reason for the to be a loss. As I said earlier, the adjustment of the | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
software, so far, the enginders tell us that there will be no difference | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
in fuel consumption as a result of this. There will be no diffdrence in | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
drive ability and the only other area that people talk about is on | :23:41. | :23:51. | |
the question of residual values And at the moment I have seen no clear | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
evidence that there has been any adverse impact on residual values. | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
And now let's take a look at what's been happening in the wider world | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
Here's Julia Butler with our countdown. | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
# There's a starman waiting in the sky | :24:07. | :24:15. | |
MPs have been paying tribute to David Bowie | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
A Commons early day motion said that he had been a musical | :24:18. | :24:26. | |
Arlene Foster has become thd first woman First Minister | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
The Democratic Unionist Party leader replaces | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
Scottish Secretary David Mundell has announced he is gay. | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
His declaration makes him the first openly gay Tory Cabinet minhster. | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
The new A-level politics cotrse is going to include more | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
female political theorists, after complaints | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
there were too few of them on the draft syllabus. | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
Schools Minister Nick Gibb said | :24:55. | :24:56. | |
Simone De Beauvoir, Rosa Luxemburg, and Hannah Arendt might feature | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
And finally, remember the polls putting the Tories neck and neck | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
with Labour ahead of the general election? | :25:08. | :25:09. | |
This is the Britain we will fight for with every breath, | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
tomorrow until 10pm when the polls close. | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
A new report suggests most pollsters got it wrong | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
because they didn't sample dnough Conservative voters. | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
Julia Butler bringing us all the news we need. | :25:20. | :25:28. | |
Some interesting things comhng up at Westminster in the next few days, | :25:29. | :25:38. | |
not least a debate over whether the | :25:39. | :25:40. | |
US Presidential hopeful Don`ld Trump should be banned | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
from entering the UK, following an online public petition. | :25:43. | :25:44. | |
So do join me for the next Week in Parliament. | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
Until then, from me, Keith Macdougall, goodbye. | :25:48. | :25:50. |
