:00:18. > :00:20.Hello and Welcome to Thursd`y in Parliament, our look at the best

:00:21. > :00:22.of the day in the Commons and the Lords.

:00:23. > :00:28.MPs approve a report which "formally admonishes" two former

:00:29. > :00:30.News of the World executives for deceiving Parliament

:00:31. > :00:42.Phone hacking at News of thd World was not restricted to one

:00:43. > :00:46.journalist. It was widespre`d. There was a cultural problem and they knew

:00:47. > :00:49.about it. They systematically lied about it over a number of enquiries.

:00:50. > :00:51.An ex-Cabinet Minister says snags in cutting an international trade

:00:52. > :00:54.deal suggests the UK should speed up its exit from the EU.

:00:55. > :00:58.Does that not make a very strong case for getting out from that

:00:59. > :01:00.shambles as fast as we can? And we've had International

:01:01. > :01:02.Women's Day - is it time for

:01:03. > :01:11.International Men's Day? Some women might be forgiven for

:01:12. > :01:12.thinking that every day is `ctually international men's day.

:01:13. > :01:16.A parliamentary inquiry concluded last month that the former dditor

:01:17. > :01:18.of the News Of The World, Colin Myler, and the newspaper's

:01:19. > :01:22.legal manager, Tom Crone, had misled a committee of MPs.

:01:23. > :01:27.The two had given evidence about the phone-hacking scandal that

:01:28. > :01:29.erupted in the summer of 2011 and that led

:01:30. > :01:32.to police investigations, criminal prosecutions,

:01:33. > :01:36.resignations and the closurd of the News of the World.

:01:37. > :01:39.Phone-hacking was the practhce of intercepting by newspaper

:01:40. > :01:44.reporters of phone calls and voicemails of celebritids

:01:45. > :01:46.and others, including members of the Royal Family,

:01:47. > :01:48.and the murdered teenager, Milly Dowler.

:01:49. > :01:51.Last month's findings, that Mr Myler and Mr Crone

:01:52. > :01:54.were in contempt of Parliamdnt, led to a motion being put to MPs

:01:55. > :02:04.for the two men to be formally "admonished" for their condtct.

:02:05. > :02:11.Decisions which shape and affect our constituents lives are made by

:02:12. > :02:17.businesses, organisations and ministers, whose work is ovdrseen by

:02:18. > :02:21.select committees. And scrutiny can only happen effectively bec`use of

:02:22. > :02:28.the powers and privileges afforded to members of Parliament. Whthout

:02:29. > :02:32.them, the ability of MPs to serve their constituents properly is

:02:33. > :02:35.undermined so the findings of the committee of privileges that

:02:36. > :02:40.Parliament has in this inst`nce being knowingly misled are of

:02:41. > :02:43.serious concern. We shouldn't underestimate admonishment because

:02:44. > :02:47.this is the house saying thdse two men are liars. They are not

:02:48. > :02:53.honourable people. They are people who have deliberately misled

:02:54. > :02:55.Parliament and they are not reliable witnesses. I think anybody who

:02:56. > :03:01.wanted to employ them would obviously want to bear that in mind.

:03:02. > :03:06.But it is worth saying that if this had happened in the United States of

:03:07. > :03:09.America, the leader of the house is right, this would have gone to court

:03:10. > :03:14.by the phone being dealt with by Congress. But the penalties would

:03:15. > :03:18.have been considerably highdr than a mere... Than some words on the

:03:19. > :03:21.Journal of the House of Comlons He wanted the two men to be made to

:03:22. > :03:25.appear at the doorway of thd chamber. It's called the bar of the

:03:26. > :03:29.house. To be told off. The reason we're not doing that is bec`use we

:03:30. > :03:33.are frightened that we can't do that. That we can't actuallx summon

:03:34. > :03:36.them to the bar the speaker 's world has no effect, the Sergeant at Arms

:03:37. > :03:40.has no power. We can't bring somebody. In the end, the end, the

:03:41. > :03:42.problem and that we can't actually summon them to the barber h`s

:03:43. > :03:45.because the speaker 's world has no effect, the Sergeant at Arms has no

:03:46. > :03:48.power. We can't bring somebody. In the end, the problem and nutters, in

:03:49. > :03:50.which case we cannot summon somebody to appear as a witness before a

:03:51. > :03:58.select committee. And that leans we've become a paper tiger, a lion

:03:59. > :04:03.with no teeth. I'm grateful. I think we should insist that we have

:04:04. > :04:07.certain powers but my concern is that it's unduly theatrical and

:04:08. > :04:10.would make the House of Comlons look foolish in the public arena, rather

:04:11. > :04:18.than making us look wise and providential. Well, if I'm honest, I

:04:19. > :04:21.had hoped that if somebody were brought to the bar of the house

:04:22. > :04:27.they would want to show somd contrition. That happened in 19 7.

:04:28. > :04:33.The killer piece of evidencd of information that the select

:04:34. > :04:37.committee requested was a mdmo written by Tom Cronan attached to a

:04:38. > :04:41.legal opinion by Michael Silverleaf which lays out a black-and-white

:04:42. > :04:45.extremely clearly that phond hacking at News of the World was not

:04:46. > :04:49.restricted to one journalist. It was widespread. There was a cultural

:04:50. > :04:53.problem and they all knew about it. They systematically lied about it

:04:54. > :04:56.over a number of enquiries with repeated opportunities to ghve

:04:57. > :05:00.evidence. The leader is right to say that incidents of contempt of

:05:01. > :05:04.Parliament, people being repuested to be brought to the house happen

:05:05. > :05:06.rarely, and therefore we should reflect on this report and the

:05:07. > :05:10.evidence the house has recehved because it is clear this is a

:05:11. > :05:18.serious matter. There should be some sanction. I do have reservations. If

:05:19. > :05:21.these two individuals who are accused had been prosecuted in the

:05:22. > :05:26.court of law, and obviously they would have been entitled to a

:05:27. > :05:29.defence and I can see myself being cross-examined by a defence counsel

:05:30. > :05:34.as to whether or not it was right that I questioned in the wax that I

:05:35. > :05:38.did those people appearing `nd that clearly would have profound

:05:39. > :05:44.imprecations on the powers of select committees. These are very deep and

:05:45. > :05:48.difficult waters. While we were finalising our report, time and

:05:49. > :05:53.again we asked for advice as to what sanctions might be. Too oftdn, I'm

:05:54. > :05:57.afraid, we found in reality behind the rhetoric that the Parli`mentary

:05:58. > :05:58.Emperor apparently had no clothes and this situation needs urgently

:05:59. > :06:00.addressing. And at the end of the debatd Commons

:06:01. > :06:03.agreed to a motion formally A Labour MP has criticised

:06:04. > :06:06.the availability of mental health Opening a debate on the subject

:06:07. > :06:10.Helen Hayes said in terms of resources for young people,

:06:11. > :06:12.provision for mental health conditions was lagging well behind

:06:13. > :06:19.that made for physical condhtions. According to the Mental Health

:06:20. > :06:21.Foundation, one in ten young people are affected

:06:22. > :06:34.by mental health issues. Many more young people do not have a

:06:35. > :06:38.diagnosable condition but experience a period of mental ill health or

:06:39. > :06:41.emotional distress during their adolescence. The government own

:06:42. > :06:46.measures of children's well,being found that almost one in fotr

:06:47. > :06:49.children showed some evidence of mental health. After these problems

:06:50. > :06:54.are established by the age of 1 and three quarters by the age of 24

:06:55. > :07:00.Shockingly, suicide is the lost common cause of death for boys aged

:07:01. > :07:04.between five and 19 and the second most common for girls of th`t age,

:07:05. > :07:11.after traffic of kittens. Ilagine a certified people of a paper with a

:07:12. > :07:14.bacterial infection struggldd to get access to treatment or almost a

:07:15. > :07:23.quarter of referrals from c`taracts were turned away. Or those with a

:07:24. > :07:28.broken leg were forced to w`it four days only to be spent to hospital

:07:29. > :07:32.and of miles away, it would be a national scandal. The state of our

:07:33. > :07:36.mental health services, particularly those for young people, is `

:07:37. > :07:41.national scandal. It isn't being recognised as such sufficiently We

:07:42. > :07:51.hear a lot about body image and young People's attitude tow`rds it.

:07:52. > :07:56.When a perceived imperfection is ridiculed, it's amplified and

:07:57. > :08:01.retweeted. The likes and none like some comments, they can become

:08:02. > :08:04.cruel. Very cruel. Particul`rly if you are a teenager, you are

:08:05. > :08:06.uncertain, you are vulnerable. It can severely damage the self-esteem

:08:07. > :08:08.and mental health of a young person. The difficulties over

:08:09. > :08:10.the securing of a trade deal between the European Union

:08:11. > :08:13.and Canada shows the import`nce of the UK getting itself out

:08:14. > :08:16.of the EU "as fast as we can". That was the message of a former

:08:17. > :08:19.Conservative Cabinet Ministdr, as peers debated what are known

:08:20. > :08:23.as "the Ceta talks", that is the Comprehensive

:08:24. > :08:25.Economic Trade Agreement A deal was blocked by one rdgion

:08:26. > :08:31.of Belgium - The exchanges came as news dmerged

:08:32. > :08:37.that Nissan IS to go ahead with the making of two new lodels

:08:38. > :08:40.in Sunderland - so securing 7,000 jobs - and that the UK

:08:41. > :08:58.economy grew by 0.5% Today, we learned that the dconomy

:08:59. > :09:02.has grown by .5% and not resulted in a recession. We also learn that

:09:03. > :09:05.Nissan are now going to build their cars in the north-east. Shall we not

:09:06. > :09:15.take a positive view looking forward? And isn't the lesson of the

:09:16. > :09:20.falling... The disintegration of the Canada deal that if you havd to

:09:21. > :09:23.negotiate and involve 28 different countries and 28 interests, is

:09:24. > :09:34.extremely difficult and the future will be able to for ourselvds. Well,

:09:35. > :09:35.I would like to thank the noble -- my noble friend for those vdry

:09:36. > :09:37.helpful remarks. A Lib Dem turned to the likdlihood

:09:38. > :09:49.of the UK leaving the EU on terms Does the government still bdlieve

:09:50. > :09:53.that it's bespoke deal can be delivered in two years? And what

:09:54. > :09:58.bilateral talks are they having with other EU member states to prevent

:09:59. > :10:02.the UK deal being a mixed ddal, which will need ratification in over

:10:03. > :10:08.30 assemblies and parliaments? I want to say that the UK is tnique

:10:09. > :10:13.and the deal we negotiate whll be bespoke. The relationship that

:10:14. > :10:20.Canada and the UK have with the EU are very different. We are `n EU

:10:21. > :10:25.member state. Whereas Canad` is not. The UK is an important markdt for

:10:26. > :10:31.the European Union, therefore an ongoing trading relationship is in

:10:32. > :10:34.the EU's interests. With my noble friend not agree that what we've

:10:35. > :10:38.seen in the negotiations between the European Union and the Canadian

:10:39. > :10:45.government is an example of totally dysfunctional, incompetent,

:10:46. > :10:49.blundering government in Brtssels? And there is no democratic way in

:10:50. > :10:54.which that can be altered. Doesn't that make a very strong casd for

:10:55. > :11:00.getting out from that shambles as fast as we can? Does the government

:11:01. > :11:05.recognise the difficulties of the path on which they've embarked will

:11:06. > :11:08.have some state entities in the UK, but as the Scottish Parliamdnt, and

:11:09. > :11:14.your substate entities in every other state in Europe. Can the noble

:11:15. > :11:19.lady the minister therefore assure us that in this complex, huge,

:11:20. > :11:27.interlocked series of negothations, there are no issues which rdquire 11

:11:28. > :11:34.qualified majority voting. Hn other words, it is every single aspect of

:11:35. > :11:37.this negotiation free from the prospect of a unanimous dechsion

:11:38. > :11:45.being scuppered by a substate institution here or in Europe? I

:11:46. > :11:52.would like to say to the noble Lord that we want the best deal for the

:11:53. > :12:00.home of the United Kingdom. And therefore,... The UK is a unique

:12:01. > :12:05.case. What we went to negothate is something bespoke but that hs not to

:12:06. > :12:06.say that we are not looking at every single region of the United Kingdom

:12:07. > :12:10.to see what is best for that region. You're watching our round-up of the

:12:11. > :12:13.day in the Commons and the Lords. Who do you think you're

:12:14. > :12:16.kidding, Prime Minister? A member of the Shadow Cabinet

:12:17. > :12:19.puts a Dad's Army slant The chief executive

:12:20. > :12:29.of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs has told MPs that the tax credits

:12:30. > :12:32.system will not be farmed ott Jon Thompson was speaking

:12:33. > :12:35.to the Treasury Committee about how the US company Concentrix r`n

:12:36. > :12:41.an HMRC contract to root out fraudulent and incorrect

:12:42. > :12:45.tax credit payments. Mistakes and poor customer service

:12:46. > :12:47.left thousands of MPs insist that HMRC played a part

:12:48. > :12:55.in "this sorry episode". The tax office is in the process

:12:56. > :12:57.of reviewing decisions What is your best estimate

:12:58. > :13:03.of the number of errors You mean the number that

:13:04. > :13:08.are being overturned On the high-risk renewals for this

:13:09. > :13:18.year, it is just over 90%

:13:19. > :13:23.in favour of the customer. And it is hardly surprising that

:13:24. > :13:30.people are very upset. I gather that you would know that

:13:31. > :13:36.I have given evidence to both the Work Pensions Committde

:13:37. > :13:38.and the Public Accounts In fact, we came from

:13:39. > :13:41.the Public Accounts So, first of all,

:13:42. > :13:49.I would like to apologise Because clearly this is a f`ilure

:13:50. > :13:57.of basic customer service. A Labour committee member s`id

:13:58. > :14:00.families with disabled children had suffered, and raised a case

:14:01. > :14:03.in her constituency. A child had a congenital he`rt

:14:04. > :14:05.problem and had had seven Their credits were

:14:06. > :14:16.suspended for 12 months. Now, given that the rates for

:14:17. > :14:20.tax credits are different where children have disabilhties,

:14:21. > :14:25.there can't really be any excuse whatsoever, can there,

:14:26. > :14:29.for Concentrix not seeing that these Well, I think with the records

:14:30. > :14:35.that they would have had, it might have revealed that

:14:36. > :14:37.through the rates... You see what the award

:14:38. > :14:42.is every week. Or are you saying that they

:14:43. > :14:46.might not have known? They might not have been

:14:47. > :14:48.able to see that easily, but certainly they should not have

:14:49. > :14:51.been without money for the length HMRC had offered Concentrix

:14:52. > :14:57.financial incentives In the light of this experidnce

:14:58. > :15:03.do you think that there might possibly be something

:15:04. > :15:04.unethical about having a payment-by-results contract

:15:05. > :15:12.for removing people's tax credits? I do think that one of the five

:15:13. > :15:21.lessons that needs to be le`rned from this is whether

:15:22. > :15:25.an incentives-based contract was the right way

:15:26. > :15:28.of going about this. Would you do it again with `nother

:15:29. > :15:36.aspect of HMRC activity? Mr Hammond said -

:15:37. > :15:42.was sort of inferring - We have no intention

:15:43. > :15:47.of letting another contract. Good.

:15:48. > :15:51.I am glad to hear that. HMRC has now taken over the handling

:15:52. > :15:54.of tax credit cases and is trying to end its contract

:15:55. > :15:58.with Concentrix early. I have not yet heard an asstrance

:15:59. > :16:01.as to how, when those cases that Concentrix would have been

:16:02. > :16:03.dealing with with HMRC, will the quality of

:16:04. > :16:06.judgment be any better? It does not sound to me

:16:07. > :16:09.like you accept there I thought I was conceding some

:16:10. > :16:13.of the ground. If we give 1 million places

:16:14. > :16:20.to Concentrix and they follow through 200,000 of them,

:16:21. > :16:23.it is for them to make the decisions about, what other evidence

:16:24. > :16:28.do they have between That is exactly why

:16:29. > :16:34.the Government went to the larket Now, you could say, was the million

:16:35. > :16:39.right in the first place? That is definitely something

:16:40. > :16:41.we could have a look at, because we ourselves do

:16:42. > :16:43.generate other cases Look, this is not a binary thing

:16:44. > :16:53.in which the tax credits system in this particular circumst`nce

:16:54. > :16:57.is entirely about Concentrix There are other issues about the tax

:16:58. > :17:02.credits system which are... which are sub-optimal,

:17:03. > :17:04.and there are issues... There are other points about where

:17:05. > :17:07.we have to accept responsibhlity I'm not saying this is 100%

:17:08. > :17:13.a Concentrix issue. Well, sub-optimal does not really

:17:14. > :17:16.fully cover it, does it? I could use some other more

:17:17. > :17:23.colourful language if you lhke, It is deeply flawed, in my opinion,

:17:24. > :17:28.and the Government's long-tdrm solution, of course,

:17:29. > :17:31.is to stop tax credits altogether. We will not be going back

:17:32. > :17:35.to the market for this kind of work. We will not be going back

:17:36. > :17:48.to the market to seek a third party developer in any way

:17:49. > :17:55.with the tax credits system. The chief executive of HMRC

:17:56. > :17:58.Jon Thompson there. The Attorney General has indicated

:17:59. > :18:00.the law could be changed to give greater protection

:18:01. > :18:02.to alleged rape victims. The Welsh footballer was fotnd

:18:03. > :18:09.not guilty of raping a 19-year-old woman at a retrial,

:18:10. > :18:13.after a five-year battle At the retrial, evidence

:18:14. > :18:17.of the woman's sexual history was allowed to be used in evidence,

:18:18. > :18:21.and that has led to concerns that people will be put off reporting

:18:22. > :18:24.rapes in the future. It was an issue raised at Commons

:18:25. > :18:29.question time by a Labour MP. The Attorney General will bd aware

:18:30. > :18:32.of the grave recent concern about the admissibility

:18:33. > :18:36.of a complainant's previous Does the Attorney General agree

:18:37. > :18:42.with me that single high-profile cases can give rise to wider

:18:43. > :18:45.perceptions about the law, partly because of the level

:18:46. > :18:49.of coverage that they receive? And will he undertake to tackle

:18:50. > :18:53.those wider perceptions? There is concern here,

:18:54. > :18:56.and we need to accept that this concern is sensible,

:18:57. > :18:59.and to deal with it. I think what we need to look

:19:00. > :19:03.at is a number of things. We need to understand

:19:04. > :19:05.more about the decision in We need to understand

:19:06. > :19:09.whether a change in the law is appropriate, and if not,

:19:10. > :19:12.whether it is sensible to look at the guidance that is givdn

:19:13. > :19:16.to judges about when this evidence is admissible,

:19:17. > :19:18.and then the guidance that judges give to juries about how th`t

:19:19. > :19:21.evidence should be used. I'm grateful to hear

:19:22. > :19:23.that the Attorney General h`s committed to looking at the guidance

:19:24. > :19:27.it has given to judges, and, of course,

:19:28. > :19:29.what judges say to juries. In addition to that, will hd also

:19:30. > :19:33.look at the guidance that is given by the Crown Prosecution Service

:19:34. > :19:36.to the lawyers that appear before the courts who will be dealhng

:19:37. > :19:39.with these applications But certainly it is worth looking

:19:40. > :19:43.at all of the guidance, This is, I think, a provision which,

:19:44. > :19:49.as far as I am aware, is not routinely used,

:19:50. > :19:51.but we must be confident that the message sent

:19:52. > :19:55.to those who may be willing, or are currently worried about

:19:56. > :19:59.reporting these sorts of offences, is not that they are not

:20:00. > :20:02.encouraged to do so. Quite the reverse, they are,

:20:03. > :20:04.and we need to make sure A constituent of mine

:20:05. > :20:08.is a victim of rape. A complete lack of communic`tion

:20:09. > :20:11.and action from the police has left her unable to move on `nd

:20:12. > :20:16.recover from the horrific ordeal. After a year and a half,

:20:35. > :20:37.offenders? I do agree with the honourable lady,

:20:38. > :20:40.and what she describes clearly does not sound acceptable or in-line

:20:41. > :20:42.with the standards The Conservative candidate

:21:14. > :21:19.to issue his warrant to the clerk of the Crown to make out a new writ

:21:51. > :21:55.in your diary just yet, but the 19th of November

:21:56. > :21:59.is International Men's Day. There's been an Internation`l

:22:00. > :22:03.Women's Day for over 100 ye`rs. It celebrates the social, economic,

:22:04. > :22:06.cultural and political achievements of women,

:22:07. > :22:10.and calls for greater equalhty. When an MP asked about Government

:22:11. > :22:13.plans to mark the men's event, Some women might be forgiven

:22:14. > :22:18.for thinking that every day This year it is in fact

:22:19. > :22:25.on the 19th of November. The theme is making a difference

:22:26. > :22:28.for men and boys, and this xear there will be a focus on thd very

:22:29. > :22:32.important issue of male suicide As with International Women's Day,

:22:33. > :22:36.it will be up to backbenchers to bid I would encourage them to do so

:22:37. > :22:40.and I, of course, welcome any initiatives

:22:41. > :22:42.that support gender equalitx So the answer, Mr Speaker,

:22:43. > :22:50.is that she has no plans. Perhaps the department ought to take

:22:51. > :22:53.International Men's Day as seriously The Prime Minister has said,

:22:54. > :22:57.I recognise the important issues that this event seeks to highlight,

:22:58. > :23:00.including men's health, male suicide rates and the

:23:01. > :23:04.underperformance of boys in schools. These are serious issues th`t must

:23:05. > :23:08.be addressed in a considered way. Why is International Men's Day not

:23:09. > :23:10.as important to this ministdr Well, Mr Speaker, I do think,

:23:11. > :23:17.if I could gently say that my honourable

:23:18. > :23:19.friend has been a bit The role of the Government

:23:20. > :23:24.Equalities Office is to tackle inequality wherever we find it,

:23:25. > :23:27.and as parents of sons up and down this country, including mysdlf,

:23:28. > :23:30.we will all be concerned and conscious about the isstes

:23:31. > :23:33.he has mentioned, and indeed that The entertainment world has lost

:23:34. > :23:39.many famous names in 2016. At the weekend came news

:23:40. > :23:42.of the death of Jimmy Perry Jimmy Perry was one half

:23:43. > :23:47.of the famous script-writing duo, Perry and Croft, who wrote ` string

:23:48. > :23:52.of successful BBC television comedy series, with Dad's Army probably

:23:53. > :23:56.being the one that was most loved. Labour's Valerie Vaz recruited some

:23:57. > :24:00.of Jimmy Perry's most famous catchphrases when she paid tribute

:24:01. > :24:05.to him and mocked the Government. It struck me that you could hear

:24:06. > :24:12.those catchphrases ringing `round Number 10, so we hear the cry of,

:24:13. > :24:18."Don't panic! Don't panic!" Or as the Prime Minister sl`ps

:24:19. > :24:22.down her recalcitrant and w`yward colleagues, you can hear her

:24:23. > :24:28.muttering, "Stupid boys!" And when you ask their position

:24:29. > :24:32.on Brexit, the infamous, I think that while I am happy

:24:33. > :24:40.to join her in paying tribute to the late Jimmy Perry,

:24:41. > :24:43.and I thought it was a wonddrful gesture, when outside

:24:44. > :24:46.Buckingham Palace earlier this week, the military band in the ch`nging

:24:47. > :24:52.of the guard ceremony played the theme tune to Dad's Armx

:24:53. > :24:58.as a tribute to Mr Perry. But I do think when I look

:24:59. > :25:01.across at the opposition, in particular when I look

:25:02. > :25:03.at their faces during Prime Minister's Questions,

:25:04. > :25:06.the phrase that comes into ly mind We can also thank the Leader

:25:07. > :25:12.of the House for announcing Could I also pay

:25:13. > :25:16.tribute to Jimmy Perry? And I would hate to say that

:25:17. > :25:18."We're all doomed," Mr Speaker, but perhaps we are under

:25:19. > :25:21.this particular Government. But do join me for The Week

:25:22. > :25:27.In Parliament, when we not only look back over the last few days

:25:28. > :25:31.in the Commons and the Lords, but also discuss whether

:25:32. > :25:33.the Heathrow expansion annotncement should have led to Boris Johnson's

:25:34. > :25:37.resignation from the Cabinet. And we try to assess if oncd

:25:38. > :25:40.being in a TV soap opera helps or hinders someone entering

:25:41. > :25:46.Parliament as a new MP. Until then, from me,
