Hello and welcome to Thursday in Parliament. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The Prime Minister outlines the case for bombing the terror | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
If we will not act now when our friend and ally France has been | :00:21. | :00:34. | |
struck in this way our allies could be forgiven for asking if not now, | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Jeremy Corbyn questions whether the proposed air strikes would succeed | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Does the Prime Minister accept that UK bombing of Syria food cause more | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
of what the US President called unintended consequences? | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
And peers warn about the future of Syria. | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
Whatever piece we achieve will be even more messy. It will be a | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
fractured peace. In the Commons, the Prime Minister | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
laid out a detailed case for He told MPs he believed Britain had | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
to strike at the heartlands of the so-called Islamic State, | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
also known as Isil, in Syria to David Cameron began his statement | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
by outlining the questions that Where are the ground troops to | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
help us meet our objectives? What is the strategy that brings | :01:24. | :01:36. | |
together everything that we are Is there an end to this conflict and | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
is there a plan for what follows? He went on to address each | :01:39. | :01:53. | |
of those concerns, In the last 12 months our police | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
and security services have disrupted no fewer than seven terrorist plots | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
to attack the UK. Every one of | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
which was either linked to Isil or I am in no doubt that it is | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
in our national interest for action to be taken to stop them | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
and stopping them means taking Mr Cameron said | :02:16. | :02:30. | |
the UK's allies were looking for help and that British forces had | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
the unique capability to carry out We should not be content with | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
outsourcing our security to If we believe that action can help | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
protect us then, with our allies we should be part of that | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
action, not standing aside from it. And from this moral point comes | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
a fundamental question. If we won't act now when | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
our friend and ally France has been struck in this way then our allies | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
in the world could be forgiven The Prime Minister also laid out | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
the legal basis of the move to carry out air strikes in Syria, citing | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
the UN Security Council resolution. And he turned to the issue | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
of ground forces. We believe | :03:07. | :03:20. | |
there are around 70,000 Syrian opposition fighters, principally the | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
Free Syrian Army, who do not belong to extremist groups and with whom | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
we can coordinate attacks on Isil. In addition there are the Kurdish | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
armed groups who have also shown themselves capable | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
of taking territory, holding And crucially relieving | :03:31. | :03:31. | |
the suffering that the civilian population had endured | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
under Isil control. We can't defeat Isil simply | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
from the air or through military It requires | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
a full political settlement but the question is can we wait for that | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
settlement before we take action? The Prime Minister said there would | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
be no vote in the House of Commons unless there was a clear majority | :03:48. | :03:56. | |
as he did not want to hand Some hours after the statement, | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn announced - in a letter to his MPs - | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
that he could not support the Prime Minister's position | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
and vote for air strikes. But in the Commons, he restricted | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
himself to asking a number On the question about whether | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
extending the UK bombing from Iraq to Syria is likely to reduce or | :04:13. | :04:24. | |
increase that threat, and whether it will counter or spread the terror | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
campaign Isil is waging in the Middle East, with that | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
in mind is it his view that the air campaign against Isil areas can be | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
successful without ground forces? If not does he believe that | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
the Kurdish forces or the relatively marginal Free Syrian | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
Army would be in a position to back up Isil-held territory, | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
to take back Isil-held territory, if Does the Prime Minister think an | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
extension of the UK bombing would contribute towards a comprehensive | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
political settlement of the Syrian civil war which is widely believed | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
to be the only way to ensure The Vienna conference last weekend | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
was a good step forward In the light of the record | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
of Western military intervention in recent years including Iraq, | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
Afghanistan and Libya does the Prime Minister accept that UK | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
bombing of Syria could risk more of what President Obama called | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
unintended consequences? It is now my personal view that on | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
balance the country would be best served by this House supporting his | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
judgment that the United Kingdom should play a full role in the | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
coalition to best support and shape the politics thus enabling the | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
earliest military and eventually We strongly support | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
the international initiative on Syria agreed in Vienna to secure | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
a ceasefire in Syria, the transition to stable representative | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
Government, and countering terrorist We believe that these gains | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
will only be secured through agreement and a serious | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
long-term commitment to Syria. May I ask the Prime Minister is | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
the UK supporting the international Syria support initiative and other | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
diplomatic efforts to secure that ceasefire in Syria, the political | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
transition and combating terrorists like Daesh and planning | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
for the long-term reconstruction Air strikes alone will | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
not be effective. They have got to be in coordination | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
with credible ground forces. The suggestion that there are 70,000 | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
non-Islamist moderate credible ground forces I have to say is | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
a revelation to me and I suspect Adequate ground forces | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
in my view depend on the So if the dictator Assad refuses | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
to resign, which is the greater Syria under him or | :06:58. | :07:07. | |
the continued existence Because you may have to choose | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
between one and the other. Air strikes alone will | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
not defeat Isil. The Prime Minister has already | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
heard that he will need to give much more evidence to this House to | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
convince it that the ground operations are sufficient, have the | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
capability and the credibility to deliver on the ground, which is what | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
he knows needs to be delivered. And what role could Saudi Arabia, | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
the UAE, Qatar and other Gulf States play | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
in delivering this victory if that is the direction in which we choose | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
to go as a country, as a House? What a pivotal moment was that | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
United Nations Security Council Can he confirm that it doesn't | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
just permit all necessary steps Does it not just allow all | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
necessary steps but that it actually calls upon member states | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
to take all necessary steps? What would it say about our judgment | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
if we failed to take heed of We on these benches know | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
from long experience the consequences of appeasing and | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
indulging terrorism for too long. Will the Prime Minister confirm | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
today that unlike last time the action foreshadowed today is against | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
Isil terrorists and nobody else? I ask the Prime Minister | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
before he comes to this House again to put the case for more war to | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
the vote that he should examine his conscience, that he should examine | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
all choices short of bombing. It is a case of life and death | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
and eventually for all I agree this is a matter | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
of integrity and there is no part of me that wants to take part | :08:58. | :09:09. | |
in any military action that I don't believe this 100% necessary | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
for our own safety and security. Now, is expansion at | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
Heathrow Airport in London vital Or would it be | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
an environmental disaster? Heathrow is already running | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
at 98% capacity. No fewer than 73 million passengers | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
used the airport in the last year. A third runway, built to | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
the north of the existing airport, is the central recommendation | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
of the lengthy report drawn up It would cost ?18 billion to build | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
and would create tens But not everyone wants the third | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
runway, and in a Commons debate, There is no current trust between | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
Heathrow Airport and the community. Why would | :09:58. | :10:08. | |
a third runway increase the trust? The report talks of a | :10:09. | :10:23. | |
noise levy. But for my residents they are | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
not interested in a noise levy. They are interested | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
in a good night's sleep. I therefore believe that it is | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
impossible to have too many runways. I live about 300 or 400 yards north | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
of the extended runway and so I see And I have to say that if you choose | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
to live in Twickenham you have to take into account the airport which | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
was there a long time before you And I am afraid the same | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
applies to people in Richmond. Sadiq Khan is the Labour candidate | :10:57. | :11:07. | |
to be the next Mayor of London. That joke came from the Conservative | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
candidate for London Mayor. And to remind ourselves | :11:12. | :11:20. | |
of the challenges we face in London last year alone almost 10,000 | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
Londoners died as a direct result There are children whose lungs are | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
underdeveloped in parts of London And a couple of months ago the | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
UK Supreme Court held that are there was in breach of the EU and UK | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
air quality directive. In those circumstances I don't see | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
how a new runway at Heathrow addresses the requirement we have to | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
meet the Supreme Court's judgment. I do have to say that | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
the honourable member for Tooting's position on this issue seems to ebb | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
and flow with the weather. He seems to say one thing to one | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
audience, His position on Heathrow is about as | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
authentic as Donald Trump's hair. That joke came from the Conservative | :11:53. | :12:01. | |
candidate for London Mayor. How do you accommodate 25 | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
million extra road passenger The Commission put the cost | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
at ?6 billion. Heathrow puts the cost | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
at ?1 billion. Transport for London has put | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
the cost at around ?20 billion. And that is just some | :12:18. | :12:18. | |
of the downside. You may consider accepting | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
that downside if the economic But what is amazing about the report | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
is that it makes the economic case There is a giant gap | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
between the report itself Heathrow is absolutely vital to | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
areas such as mine in Chesham, Amersham and in Buckinghamshire, | :12:36. | :12:43. | |
where in Buckinghamshire we have over 700 companies headquartered | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
in the region. And my constituents quite frankly | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
would rather see an expansion at Heathrow which would benefit | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
them economically than the building of HS2 | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
which does nothing for the economy. Even if it were built and could be | :12:58. | :13:29. | |
full at the point of completion. And it does not deliver the extra | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
connectivity that we all want. That does not hook up British business | :13:32. | :13:39. | |
with those destinations in China and Latin America. According to the | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
figures the number of new long-haul destinations would only increase by | :13:47. | :13:47. | |
seven. Heathrow Airport Ltd may be winning | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
on the amount spent on PR but this Parliament has a duty to assess what | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
is the optimum solution and not be How long does she think | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
that we can assess this? This is a debate that has | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
been running for 20 years. How many more years do we need to | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
debate this Will there ever be | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
a conclusion to this debate? There will be if the Prime Minister | :14:08. | :14:16. | |
considers the quicker, less costly You're watching Thursday | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
in Parliament, with me, Will you give up your salary, | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
Minister? the possibility of UK air strikes | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
on Syria. The House of Lords won't be asked to | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
vote on potential military action but with so much political and | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
military experience between them, peers are keen for their voices | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
to be heard. So David Cameron's statement | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
was read out and debated For the first time | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
in almost 300 years, we are facing a conflict that has a distinct | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
theological and religious element We must realise that facing this | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
conflict there must be an ideological response that is not | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
only national in dealing with the threat of extremism here but is | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
global in challenging the doctrines that draw so many people to | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
support Isis internationally. Other people are already doing | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
plenty of things. If one believes military action | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
is counter-productive, But if one believes it is necessary | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
for our own security, to suggest we should not employ | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
that military capability because others already are | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
is not only wrong but shameful. The intention is to improve | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
our effectiveness against Daesh We cannot should our responsibility | :15:47. | :16:14. | |
here. We see this ISAs force as a threat to our own way of life. -- IS | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
force. The intention is to improve | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
our effectiveness against Daesh and not pursue the Government's | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
vendetta against Bashar al-Assad. It can't make the slightest sense | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
while we are engaged in an involuntary and unavoidable war | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
against Daesh, which we must win, to be fighting on the same | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
territory another voluntary war I have to say that the Government's | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
predictions, which I assume is part of their policy, they have made | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
consistently over three years that Bashar al-Assad's regime | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
is about to collapse I spent last weekend in Damascus | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
and I was struck by the health of the economy and the resolution | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
and morale of the regime. I fear the Government | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
were very misconceived I hope now they will be able to | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
focus on the real enemy What we achieve, I hope we do, | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
in Syria, will be even more messy. This will not be | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
a comfortable pace, it will be a fractured peace, and the best we | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
can say about it is that fraction and uncertain and unsatisfying | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
though it is, it is better than | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
continuing this terrible war. If that is the case, | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
that's good enough for me. What contact do we actually have | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
a day to day with the Russians, the Iranians and, most particularly, | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
I'm afraid the answer to this must that we are talking about | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
military action on. Now, ministers are used to getting | :17:36. | :17:44. | |
requests and suggestions from MPs. But the Education Secretary, | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
Nicky Morgan, She was asked to give up her salary | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
for the rest of the year to improve her understanding | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
of the gender pay gap. Would the Secretary of State, | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
who I know cares about this issue, symbolically forego her salary | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
from 9th of November until the end of the calendar year so she knows | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
from personal experience what it feels like to do the work of a male | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
colleague but for 20% less salary? Wouldn't she say that all | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
governments have failed in this field and now the time is | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
not of declarations about change over a generation but to seize | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
the legislative agenda for which she would have massive | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
support across the House to finally bring equality | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
to women in our country? The honourable gentleman | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
can give up his salary if he feels so strongly about it | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
and wants to make a statement. The important thing is that this | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
government is taking action on an issue his party | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
did not take action on for 13 years | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
whilst they were in government. The honourable gentleman is right to | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
say that this does now need to be tackled by legislation, | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
which is why this government is going to be publishing regulation | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
shortly to make that happen. What specific policies | :18:59. | :19:18. | |
does the minister have Can I thank the chairman of the | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
Select Committee very much indeed. I know this is an area the Select | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
Committee will be looking at. She may be interested to know that | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
in the latest gender pay gap figures published earlier this month, | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
women aged between 40 and 49, saw a 1.6% drop | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
in the gender pay gap and that is repeated in the other | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
age gaps of over 50s and over 60s. But she is right to say that | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
this does need to be tackled. And the Chancellor's announcement | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
that VAT receipts from sanitary products would be used for | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
women's causes came under review. The women's sector is under | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
enormous pressure, especially specialist | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
organisations which, for example, The charity Eaves was forced | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
to close earlier this month. A body reported 67% of their | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
members are uncertain about the future sustainability | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
of their funding and generic providers | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
are increasingly being commissioned Isn't it time for a proper | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
sustainable funding strategy for services for victims of domestic | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
and sexual violence rather than gimmicky short-term fixes like the | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
tampon tax that only women pay for? I think it is a shame that | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
the honourable lady While we are in the position | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
where we have to pay this VAT, And I congratulate my honourable | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
friend from Colchester for coming up with the idea, that we use this to | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
provide additional support to those services and she is quite right that | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
we need those additional services. Back to the Lords and the Government | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
has faced renewed calls to introduce national identity cards in the wake | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
of the Paris terror attacks. The National Identity Card scheme, | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
which was set up by Labour, There were calls | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
for the government to look again. But particularly | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
in regard to the national security and the protection of all | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
of our citizens in counterterrorism and the assurance that we can give | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
this to them that the Government will consider again their position | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
on this before it is too late. I welcome the fact | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
the Government is not averse to U-turns, including very big ones, | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
and I hope on this one that they can reconsider and no-one will score | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
any political points because it is If it was a question | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
of the effectiveness of this, our view is that it was not going to | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
be effective because the very people you would want to catch would | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
not be the people who would comply. That is the reason spending | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
the money on better security, better surveillance, better use | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
of intelligence, the investments we have announced in national security, | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
the improvements to the funding of the police | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
and cyber security are the right way Nearly all European countries now | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
have national identity cards. Germany's latest card, | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
which is highly secure, includes a photo, a digital photo, | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
an electronic data function and biometric data | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
which can include a fingerprint. In these difficult circumstances, | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
when identity is at the heart of our problems, shouldn't all the | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
political parties now reconsider their positions on national identity | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
cards introduction. If other European | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
countries can have confidence in their ID card systems, | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
why can't we do the same? Times are changing, | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
the world is very different. The decision was taken to | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
abolish the national identity register and identity cards | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
introduced by the last Labour It was ?85 million to run and nearly | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
?1 billion to maintain the register. The second one was in terms | :23:07. | :23:16. | |
of effectiveness. The very people we might want | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
to have the identity of would be the last people to comply | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
with that. That is not to say we are not | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
doing anything about that. We are simply saying it is | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
a different approach. We have passports, we have driving | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
licences, passports at 84%, driving licenses at over 60%, and for all | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
people who come from outside the UK to be in the UK for a period in | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
excess of six months, they are also required to have a biometric | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
permit in order to do so. Would it not have been better to | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
have corrected the faults in the Labour Party proposals, | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
put that under operation so that now we would have | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
a system which was working? And isn't it odd that we are the | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
only country in Europe that thinks that this system without identity | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
cards is somehow or other superior? Should we not learn | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
from others just occasionally? At a time when the principal concern | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
we have is of national security, we have said we will choose to spend | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
the investment required to put in place ID into better equipping our | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
security forces, better securing our borders to make ensure we can | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
keep people secure and safe. I welcome the minister saying there | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
will be no rethink on identity cards because often the knee jerk reaction | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
is the one that leads to massive I don't see why we should | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
not try identity cards. Those of us who drive | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
have to carry a driving licence, Otherwise there's difficulties | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
with the police if you are stopped. I don't know why we shouldn't | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
see whether it actually works. And finally, former Foreign | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
Secretary William Hague has taken his seat | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
in the House of Lords. Lord Hague of Richmond, | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
as he will now be known, He stood down at this year's | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
General Election after a year He is one of 45 new peers whose | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
appointments were announced I, William, Lord Haig of Richmond, | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
do swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
her heirs and successors, The latest addition to | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
the red benches. I'll be back with the look at | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
the week's events in Westminster tomorrow but, until then, from me, | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
Georgina Pattinson, goodbye. | :25:52. | :25:56. |
