I believe I have only a few seconds left. I would like to underline that we are committed to resolving this issue. We are monitoring it extremely carefully, with a focus on ensuring that performance at HMPO improves, that passport applications are processed efficiently and effectively and that urgent and compassionate cases are prioritised. I recognise the importance— Order. I do not know what und... 18 Jun 2014 AYE
I am not alone in wanting this change. The Joint Committee on Human Rights said in its report of October 2011: “We also support the amendment of the Public Order Act to remove all reference to offences based on insulting words and behaviour. This would enhance human rights and remove the possible incompatibility with the right to freedom of expression.” Peter Tatchell—an unlikely ally of mine, Mad... 17 Jun 2014 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed: 35, page 58, line 2, leave out clause 58.— (Mr Slaughter .) 17 Jun 2014 AYE
(i) the question of whether leave should be granted, or (ii) where leave is granted, the proceedings on any application under this section made with such leave; (b) in any other case, until the proceedings are finally determined.” (5) Omit subsection (8).” — (Mr Vara.) The Schedule provides that challenges to a range of planning-related decisions and actions may only be brought with the leave of t... 17 Jun 2014 AYE

(10) Sums received by a local authority under regulations under this section may be used by the authority for the purposes of any of its functions. (11) A local authority on whom functions are conferred by regulations under this section must have regard to any guidance issued by the Secretary of State about— (a) compliance by letting agents with the duty in section (Duty of letting agents to publi... 16 Jun 2014 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Main Question put. 12 Jun 2014 NO
I thank the Minister; we do have a little bit of time left. Does the Minister believe that people in this country will be better off at the time of the general election in 2015 than they were at the time of the last general election? Does she agree with the IFS that they will not be? The whole country will be better off, because we are fixing the economy, getting more people into work and seeing w... 12 Jun 2014 AYE
Division 3 12 Jun 2014 NO
“I’m not going to sign a blank piece of paper on your show”. Later the same day, my shadow also backtracked, saying that Labour supported the reforms, but that they did not go far enough. The Opposition have been in complete chaos and confusion about these landmark pension reforms—some of the most important that will ever be introduced. The reason why they have been in chaos is that they really do... 11 Jun 2014 AYE

Will the Solicitor-General give way? I have one or two more points to make, and then I shall see if I can give way again. [Interruption.] All right, I will give way. The hon. Member for Chesterfield talked about looking at the polling, but he should look at the polling, because the people of this country are starting to turn to the Conservative party and to recognise the achievements of the Conser... 14 May 2014 AYE
(b) not greater than two weeks rent for the accommodation in question. (9) Costs incurred by persons seeking accommodation for the undertaking of credit checks shall be reimbursed upon the signing of a tenancy agreement. (10) In this section, any reference to the grant or renewal of a tenancy shall include the grant or renewal or continuance of a lease or licence of, or other right or permission t... 13 May 2014 AYE
(6) Where a ticket is sold through a secondary ticketing platform, guidance issued under section (1) shall set out how the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 apply to tickets as unique goods, including— (a) how sellers must provide all relevant information about the ticket including but not limited to the face value of the ticket and a designated... 13 May 2014 AYE
Let us be clear. The custom-build sector already makes an important contribution to our housing supply with around one in every 10 homes being built or commissioned by individuals. That is much more than many volume builders are already building. It is important to say that custom-build and self-build are already facilitating a turnover of around £4 billion per year. As has been mentioned, there i... 7 May 2014 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 16 disagreed to. 7 May 2014 NO
If an unaccompanied, vulnerable child turns up at a police station, the police do not put them in a cell, but get in touch with social services. Why can we not do the same for unaccompanied children who come here as migrants or to apply for asylum? Why do we need to detain them? Surely our duty is to protect them. There is plenty of legislation that allows us to do that, and I have not heard an ex... 7 May 2014 NO
It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Slough (Fiona Mactaggart) . I pay tribute to her for her acceptance that SIAC was an error and a big problem. Indeed, it is rare in this place for any of us to admit making a mistake. The encroachment of secret justice started with that commission and has continued in a number of other ways. I am still concerned about the appeal rights and about what ... 7 May 2014 NO
It concludes: “Regulation is always a last resort and, as part of the review, we will also explore the scope for non-regulatory alternatives to promote further take-up.” I find that regulatory burden argument wholly unconvincing. As I have pointed out, the National Landlords Association and the British Property Federation are in favour of the proposal. When the representative bodies for the busine... 7 May 2014 AYE

I end by saying—I hope that you will indulge in me in this, Madam Deputy Speaker, because, strictly, it is beyond the amendment—that when we originally debated the matter in the House, there was great concern about recruiting for the reserves. I expressed the view that it had been seriously mishandled under the new assimilated structure controlled by the Regular Army. I also expressed confidence i... 29 Apr 2014 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 62(2) ), That the Bill be now read a Second time. 28 Apr 2014 AYE
The right hon. Member for Birmingham, Hodge Hill (Mr Byrne) supports the scheme, but I understand his concerns about the Washwood Heath maintenance depot. I agree with the hon. Member for Vauxhall (Kate Hoey) that it is wrong to brand people with genuine concerns about the line’s impact as nimbys. Tonight the House faces a great decision, one of national importance that will profoundly affect the ... 28 Apr 2014 NO
What is the payback? Our economy is the fastest-growing in the developed world. Wages are rising faster than they have done for seven years—that was announced today—and the private sector has created 1.6 million new jobs. That means that well over 1.5 million new families are finding work, and are able to meet the needs of their household budgets. I recognise that Government Members want to deal w... 8 Apr 2014 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Proceedings interrupted (Programme Order, 1 April ). The Chair put forthwith the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time ( Standing Order No. 83D ). Amendment proposed : 4, page 2, line 11, at end insert— 8 Apr 2014 AYE
Ministers have talked a lot about low incomes, and that is all very well, but is not the reality that the better off people are and the higher the rate of tax they are on, the more they benefit, so in fact higher-rate taxpayers benefit more than lower-rate taxpayers? The reality is that basic-rate taxpayers have benefited most from the measures that we have taken in increasing the personal allowan... 8 Apr 2014 AYE
says today, switching is the best hope for consumers. Last week, SSE announced a price freeze. This is not a Labour-style, 1970s legislatively imposed price freeze that would kill investment and scare away investors, but a price freeze borne of competition and an increasingly competitive market. SSE said that decisions taken to reduce delivery costs of the energy company obligation, and decisions ... 2 Apr 2014 AYE
Consideration and Third Reading 7. Proceedings on consideration and on Third Reading shall be completed in two days. 8. Standing Order No. 83B (programming committees) shall not apply to proceedings on Consideration and Third Reading.— (Mr Evennett.) Question agreed to.

On the starting rate of income tax for savers, we are cutting a 10p rate, not doubling a 10p rate. That will mean that 1 million more people will no longer pay tax on their savings. Opposition Members will be voting against that. The personal allowance will increase to £10,000 this year and £10,500 next year. Opposition Members will be voting against that. Were they to succeed, the personal allowa... 1 Apr 2014 AYE
