The hon. Member for Bournemouth, East (Mr. Ellwood) stood up for his constituency by calling for more resources for Dorset, and I now turn to that point. The resources provided to Dorset police authority have gone up by 47 per cent. since 1997, which is a 12 per cent. increase in real terms. I will come to this morning's report in The Times in a moment, but police numbers in the hon. Gentleman's a... 24 Feb 2009 AYE
Like the majority of my constituents who live along the boundary fence at Heathrow, and like my local borough council, I support the building of another runway at Heathrow. However, as you will rightly remind me if I carry on in this vein, Madam Deputy Speaker, this is not yet another debate about Heathrow, so I shall avoid that subject for the moment; there will be plenty more opportunities. I op... 24 Feb 2009 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added. 11 Feb 2009 NO
Will my hon. Friend give way? I have only two or three minutes before the guillotine falls. I want to be as brutally honest as the right hon. and learned Member for Rushcliffe. We do have problems discussing this issue in the Labour party: there is clearly a difference of opinion, and it would be wrong for us not to reflect that by debating the issue. However, I do not think that an Opposition day... 11 Feb 2009 AYE
We have had a short but interesting debate this evening, and I would like to deal with some of the issues raised. Interestingly, the hon. Member for Twickenham (Dr. Cable) said that capital expenditure simply is not taking place at the moment. I am glad to say that that is not true; I am sorry to disappoint him, but there is a great deal of work going on, and a great deal of extra capital expendit... 2 Feb 2009 NO

My hon. Friend the Member for Stroud (Mr. Drew) talked about educating children about food. I pay tribute to the year of food and farming which has made a huge contribution by bringing thousands of children on to farms so that they understand that food is not produced neatly wrapped in cellophane by supermarkets, but grown and reared on our farms. The hon. Member for Leominster (Bill Wiggin) refer... 30 Jun 2008 AYE
(a) the substitution for paragraph 36(2) of— "(2) The person to whom an application under this paragraph may be made is a judicial authority."; (b) the omission of the words "or senior judge" wherever occurring in paragraphs 36(4), 36A(3) and 37(2); and (c) the omission of paragraph 36A(2) and (5) to (7).".'.— [Mr. McNulty.] Brought up, and read the First time. 11 Jun 2008 NO
(7) If it appears to the Secretary of State that the advice contains material whose disclosure— (a) would be damaging to the public interest, or (b) might prejudice the prosecution of any person, the duty of Secretary of State under subsection (6) is to lay before Parliament a copy of a version of the advice, provided by or agreed with the independent legal adviser, that does not contain such mate... 11 Jun 2008 NO
Division 210 4 Jun 2008 NO
We then come to the claim about abandoning the target for pension credit take-up. That is old news, as we have established before. Last year, we had a stretching target to get 235,000 new claimants on to pension credit. All the indications are that we have exceeded that target, so for this year we have set an even more stretching target of 250,000. That shows our commitment to the poorest in socie... 4 Jun 2008 AYE

a foetus diagnosed with, or a child born with, the physical or mental abnormalities identified as a risk by those tests, (b) contact details for, where available, supportive service providers, including telephone help lines specific to the physical or mental abnormalities identified as a risk by those tests, and (c) the offer of a suitable opportunity to receive relevant counselling and such other... 20 May 2008 AYE

The hon. Gentleman has made his point, but it bears no resemblance to anything that I was talking about. I am sorry, I will not give way. Will the hon. Gentleman give way? I am not giving way again. I have been a patron of the Family Planning Association for about a decade. I support its aims and objectives, which include preventing women from getting pregnant in the first place, and I regret its ... 20 May 2008 AYE
