which the Welsh Government have great hopes for, will be successful and that, in looking at it, we will form a different view. It is important to keep all one’s options open. As I was saying, NHS Blood and Transplant announced its new strategy on 11 July . It has a new chair who is full of vigour and who I am sure will do an extremely good job. performance in many other countries. There is no reas... 17 Jul 2013 NO
commitment in its manifesto at the next general election to regulate second jobs. That is why we have led the debate today. Our motion on the Order Paper states: “as part of a wider regulatory framework for second jobs, from the start of the next Parliament, no hon. Members should be permitted to hold paid directorships or consultancies.” There have been some interesting critiques of the draftsman... 17 Jul 2013 AYE
If the hon. Gentleman had been here to hear my opening speech, he would know that we have discussed our approach with the Police Service of Northern Ireland as well as other operational partners across the UK. While we are not seeking to opt in at this stage, we wish to negotiate and seek to influence so that we are in a position to opt in post-adoption, with the red lines. It is not the case that... 15 Jul 2013 AYE
Division 60 15 Jul 2013 NO
The Secretary of State says he is happy to go along with this agreement. Will he explain what agreement he is talking about? What we have agreed to do across the Government is table amendments to the Bill before the House at the moment that introduce things like a proportionality test, which is much needed and mirrors the situation in Germany. That is the kind of reform to the arrest warrant that ... 15 Jul 2013 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added. 10 Jul 2013 NO
I smiled when I heard Citizens Advice being quoted frequently today. Is that the same Citizens Advice that hired Polly Billington, a Labour adviser, in November 2012? She will be head of its campaigns and communications, and is a former senior adviser to the right hon. Member for Doncaster North. Is that why we have to have those definitive quotes all the time? I find it so. Maybe that is why the ... 10 Jul 2013 AYE
(i) the separation of the provision of core services from the provision of investment activities, (ii) the retention of a class of assets in the ownership of HM Treasury, (iii) the impact of any sale on the creation of a regional banking network. (2) A copy of the report in subsection (1) shall be laid before Parliament and sufficient time shall be given for the appropriate committees of both Hous... 9 Jul 2013 AYE
We accept the need to go further. Accordingly, we will be adopting the commission’s recommendation that the Prudential Regulation Authority should be given a secondary competition objective, and we will table amendments to the Bill to that effect in the autumn. Hear, hear. I am grateful for my hon. Friend’s contribution. The regulator will be created under the Bill, and given that it will be set u... 9 Jul 2013 AYE

Question accordingly negatived. Bill to be further considered tomorrow. Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 119(11) ), 8 Jul 2013 NO
Although the Minister clearly cannot intervene in investigations by the Serious Fraud Office because prosecutorial authorities are quite separate from the Executive, which has always been the case and will, I am sure, continue to be the case for centuries to come, it would be useful for him to indicate what the state of play is in relation to breaches of existing criminal law that might give rise ... 8 Jul 2013 AYE
There is also the international dimension. Part of the rationale for the Government’s current position on the 3% leverage ratio—or a leverage ratio of 33:1, if we want to put it that way—is that it is part of the new Basel regime. However, we have a particular issue in the UK. We are a global—some would say the main global—financial centre, but in a medium-sized economy. That gives us many great s... 8 Jul 2013 AYE
(6) A statement under this section must be published by the regulator concerned in the way appearing to the regulator to be best calculated to bring it to the attention of the public. (7) A regulator may charge a reasonable fee for providing a person with a copy of the statement published under this section. (8) A regulator must, without delay, give the Treasury a copy of any statement which it pu... 8 Jul 2013 AYE
“No important new policy can be decided in Brussels or anywhere else without the consent of a British Minister answerable to a British government and British Parliament.” Since that time, we have seen those assurances undermined time and again. I hope the Prime Minister is successful in negotiating a new relationship. If he succeeds in doing so, I will be cheering him and I will campaign for a yes... 5 Jul 2013 NO
Secondly, there are advantages in terms of tax revenue. Although schedule 19 imposes SDRT on fund managers matching investors for UK funds, the Exchequer would be advantaged by having more funds domiciled in the UK, as that would involve the paying of income tax, national insurance, VAT, business rates and other taxes by people who would be employed here, rather than in Luxembourg, Ireland and oth... 2 Jul 2013 AYE
My right hon. Friend, as always, is very acute and he realises that this is a political move. The change is being introduced with no analysis and no evidence base—it is a political move that will have significant redistributional consequences in favour of some areas at the expense of others, paying no regard whatever to the principles of localism that the Government used to proclaim. May I tempt m... 2 Jul 2013 AYE
Order. Mr Newmark, this is not an opportunity for you to make a speech; it was an intervention on new clause 10, and we would like it to be relevant. Will the hon. Lady give way? No, I will not give way now, as I want to carry on with my argument. There may be an opportunity later. and sticking fast. The Chancellor and the Prime Minister have also tried to pass this off as everybody else’s fault, ... 2 Jul 2013 AYE
segment of the debate, one of the key issues is tax avoidance, and Government Members made great play of the fact that the higher rate of income tax introduced at the end of the last Labour Government was not going to deliver much revenue because people would attempt to avoid it. I can understand that argument, but I think they are wrong, because we did not have a long enough period to see it work... 1 Jul 2013 AYE
for which the House has determined tax relief should be available. One might find people retiring earlier or locating in other jurisdictions. All those things have an impact. I sympathise somewhat with the point of the hon. Member for Islwyn (Chris Evans) about his and his party’s desire to target bankers, but if we want to create an entrepreneurial society, we must realise that not all the big we... 1 Jul 2013 AYE

I do not know whether it is the mention of New Jersey or technology that has prompted the hon. Lady’s intervention; I shall wait and see. My intervention is about the Minister’s mention of sharing the Lindisfarne Gospels the world over. Given that they have such massive heritage importance to the north-east and the world, is it not a shame that people will be charged to see them when they are on d... 26 Jun 2013 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added. 25 Jun 2013 NO
No, she clearly thinks that the House is still too confrontational, or too male-dominated or testosterone-driven. I am not entirely sure what she considers to be the cause of the tension. Finally, in summing up for the Opposition the hon. Member for Harrow West touched on many of the issues that his hon. Friends had raised in the debate, in particular the code of conduct. The Government’s position... 25 Jun 2013 AYE
He has defended that business strongly. Bill Gates is now doing something that a financial transaction tax would achieve universally, across the world. It would raise money from the speculative, gambling casino economy that the world has become and give it to those who are often mineral rich or agriculture rich but massively exploited by those of us who live on the fat of that speculation. I was g... 18 Jun 2013 AYE
Perhaps the Minister might be able to explain why it has taken nearly two years to make that amendment. If I understood him correctly, he said that the evaluation of all this process was being extended to the end of the summer, so if the revised letter is not going out until the end of this month or the end of next month, there will be very little time to judge whether that has made any difference... 12 Jun 2013 NO
The hon. Member for Birmingham, Selly Oak (Steve McCabe) seemed to imply that there was no room for practical co-operation, but there absolutely is. Much of our co-operation to fight crime and terrorism does not depend on EU-level instruments. Indeed, our operational partners co-operate closely on a daily basis and that will not change. We have been clear throughout this process that where there i... 12 Jun 2013 AYE
I mentioned the national group on sexual violence against children and vulnerable people. The issues we have been discussing today are part of its work, but only a small part, as consideration of the recent cases of organised predatory child abuse will be a significant part of the group’s activity. In response to whether the Home Office will be at the summit next week, I will be there in my role a... 12 Jun 2013 AYE
(1) If a pupil of sufficient maturity in attendance at a school to which section 403 applies requests to be wholly or partly excused from receiving sex and relationships education at the school, the pupil shall be so excused accordingly until the request is withdrawn. (2) The Secretary of State must in regulations define “sufficient maturity”. (3) A statutory instrument containing regulations unde... 11 Jun 2013 AYE
