Is my hon. Friend aware that one of the most effective exit projects in London, based at Toynbee hall, supports the new orders for prostitutes? Those workers with drug-dependent prostitutes say that often there are co-dependency issues that can be dealt with only if the prostitutes are brought to diversion projects by the court. We all bring anecdotal evidence. I have been convening Safety First C...	19 May 2009	AYE
(3) Any decision of the Crown Court may be appealed to the Court of Appeal within 21 days of such decision. (4) Where an application has been made for an order under this section, the relevant sample and any information derived therefrom shall not be destroyed until such application and any appeal thereof has been determined. (3) At end of section 113(1) insert— "provided always that the protectio...	19 May 2009	AYE
"The Government should introduce a Bill to replace the existing regulatory framework governing the NDNAD. This would provide an opportunity to reassess the length of time DNA profiles are retained under regulatory oversight of the NDNAD." We agree. The use, retention and destruction of DNA records and the oversight that sits behind it require detailed primary legislation in their own right, with f...	19 May 2009	AYE
Last week, she said: "We will have as much discussion as we can and will try, if possible, to reach agreement on the allocation of time in the full day's debate on Report." That was after we had to accept that we would be given only one day. Again, in response to the hon. Member for Macclesfield, the Leader of the House said: "I have said that we will have discussions to make sure that we can try ...	19 May 2009	NO
I need to make a bit of progress, because the Bill— [Interruption.] Order. I am sorry to interrupt the right hon. Gentleman. I must appeal to the House: we must end the debate in an orderly manner. The Financial Secretary's argument should be heard, and then we can bring the matter to a proper conclusion. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. The Bill underpins our commitment to the short-term support th...	6 May 2009	NO

Question accordingly agreed to. Motion made, and Question proposed, (1) That, in the opinion of this House, staff who work for an hon. Member should be employed by the House, as a personal appointment and managed by the hon. Member; and (2) That the House of Commons Commission shall consider this decision and make recommendations for its implementation, including any transitional provisions which ...	30 Apr 2009	AYE

Member's position as a Member of Parliament; and (4) That the provisions of this Resolution shall come into effect on 1 July 2009 . —[Chris Bryant.] Does the hon. Member for South Staffordshire (Sir Patrick Cormack) wish to move amendment (g)? I wish j...	30 Apr 2009	AYE
In order to help the hon. Gentleman, it was explained earlier that the following motions can be voted against. The House can negate them if it so wishes. [Interruption.] The right hon. Member for Maidstone and The Weald (Miss Widdecombe) was very good at being a Home Office Minister, but she should let me do the chairing. She will find it easier. On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. As a mere ex-Home...	30 Apr 2009	AYE
The other issue that we need to clarify, which was raised by the right hon. and learned Member for Folkestone and Hythe (Mr. Howard) , concerns the position of the Government of Nepal and the court case. The Nepalese official who gave evidence to the court case did so in a private capacity. There was nobody there from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nepalese Government have not given a vie...	29 Apr 2009	AYE
(b) in sub-paragraph (b) (lower-emission van), for "£120" substitute "£125". (5) The amendments made by this Resolution have effect in relation to licences taken out on or after 1 May 2009 . And it is declared that it is expedient in the public interest that this Resolution should have statutory effect under the provisions of the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act 1968. That provision may be made...	28 Apr 2009	NO

(1) For the tax year 2009-10 the amount specified in section 35 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (personal allowance for those aged under 65) is replaced with "£6,475". (2) Accordingly, section 57 of that Act (indexation of allowances), so far as relating to the amount specified in section 35 of that Act, does not apply for that tax year.

My hon. Friend the Member for Newport, West (Paul Flynn) , with whom I often disagree, brought home the gravity of the decisions with which we were all confronted back in 2003 by the simple act of reading out the names this afternoon of all of our people who died in the operation in Iraq. Acknowledging that gravity is something that unites the House. A couple of other things also unite the House. ...	25 Mar 2009	AYE
The hon. Gentleman, as always, puts the argument so eloquently that I simply endorse what he says. Does my hon. Friend agree—I assume she does, as she will have signed off the information given by the Government at the time of this debate—that if the removal of the free speech clause will not affect the threshold of the offence, logically its retention cannot affect the threshold of the offence ei...	24 Mar 2009	NO
Whenever someone says that there are cases where the jury has to be excluded, they never come up with a convincing example. The one example of a case where the process is frozen, which the hon. Member for Stafford mentioned, is one that has nothing to do with national security. However, as the hon. Member for Hendon (Mr. Dismore) mentioned, in that case things seem to have gone very badly wrong le...	23 Mar 2009	AYE
Numerous constituents have raised with me such issues as assisted suicide, which has attracted a great deal of interest. Constituents on both sides of the argument have urged me to support their views. They expect these matters to be debated. My hon. Friend is making a very good case. That is exactly the point: our constituents expect us to be debating the issues, and they do not understand why we...	23 Mar 2009	NO
We took evidence in Committee, and I asked about what would happen to the kids of drug addicts if the parents' benefits were cut. One charity that supported conditionality could not answer that question. In Committee, the Minister for Employment and Welfare Reform said that the ideas about what would happen were fatuous and vacuous. He has been using such words quite a lot recently, and his resort...	17 Mar 2009	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed : 35, page 4, line 22 , at end insert—	17 Mar 2009	AYE
Well, it is not amateur dramatics, as the hon. Gentleman says; this is about trying to assist blind people and it depends on what side of the argument one is on. In my role as Minister for disabled people, I have also been able to voice my support for this measure. Indeed, when I spoke at the lobby that I mentioned, I gave an unequivocal nod towards the Government's commitment to it, and my right ...	17 Mar 2009	AYE
My right hon. Friend's interpretation of the views that I and other Labour Members expressed is a travesty. We are saying that the voluntary approach has been shown to be more effective in engaging people in the world of work, and we should pursue that approach. We are saying that any schemes that involve sanctions or people losing their benefit should be subject to a pilot scheme that compares th...	17 Mar 2009	AYE

Question accordingly agreed to. On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I seek your advice on whether the frustration that the House has experienced tonight is appropriate. Conservative Members called for a vote and then did not vote—and they did it deliberately in order to delay us from reaching a motion that would allow the youth of the country to debate in this Chamber. What makes their backsides any...	11 Mar 2009	NO
