Members will be pleased that I intend to keep my comments brief. Our NHS is a monumental achievement and one that my party remains deeply proud of. There are many people alive today who remember what life was like before the NHS and who would never go back to a time when the poor could not afford treatment for preventable illnesses. That is the generation that truly understands what the NHS means ... 21 Nov 2014 AYE
“It is right that we make the new scheme consistent with the current framework.”––[Official Report, Child care Payments Public Bill Committee, 23 October 2014 ; c. 192 .] I urge her to reconsider her decision not to increase support for parents of disabled children. She can help today by increasing the maximum age at which disabled children become eligible for the tax-free child care scheme—and, i... 17 Nov 2014 AYE

Fundamentally in the end, I think those people who are speaking against the cap betray their own lack of confidence in their ability, should they wish to, to come to the House transparently and accountably and persuade the House— I have one minute left. No, I am not going to take any interventions; I am going to make progress. Those people who speak against the cap betray an enormous lack of confi... 26 Mar 2014 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Proceedings interrupted (Programme Order, 10 March ). The Deputy Speaker put forthwith the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time ( Standing Order No. 83E ). Amendment proposed: 30, page 102, line 31, leave out clause 119.—(Andy Burnham.) 11 Mar 2014 AYE
I am grateful to the Minister for some of the clarifications he has given so far. When he concludes his comments on new clause 16, will he confirm that the review of the guidance that he has invited me to chair will also consider the issue of consultation to ensure that it is genuinely pervious to public opinion and other clinical opinions in the area? I am happy to give my right hon. Friend that ... 11 Mar 2014 AYE

Housing associations say that tens of millions of pounds are likely to be lost through the build-up of arrears. Reports this morning estimate that 144,000 people have fallen behind with their rents since the introduction of the bedroom tax and that 14% have received eviction notices. Was that really meant to happen? Was this eviction of the poor really the plan of the Government? In October, resea... 12 Feb 2014 AYE
“Patients requiring elective care will have the right, in law, to choose from any provider who meets NHS standards of quality at NHS costs”. If I am right, that is called “any qualified provider” or “any willing provider”, which is exactly what this Government have pursued. Labour’s rewriting of history is breathtaking. “pursuit of targets and financial balance at the expense of quality of care.” ... 5 Feb 2014 AYE

Order. The Minister is not giving way. He has limited time, and we will hear him. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. In the longer term, we need to do more to prevent people from ending up in hospital as a result of avoidable crises. As my hon. Friend the Member for St Ives (Andrew George) said, we need to make two big shifts. The first involves a move to a much greater focus on preventing ill healt... 18 Dec 2013 AYE
I think the Minister will find that the organisations to which he is referring took the view that something was better than nothing, because nothing was previously on offer. It is stretching the point to suggest that these organisations are endorsing the Government’s approach, because that is far from the truth. The problem the hon. Gentleman has is that fuel poverty went up. It went up in the boo... 4 Dec 2013 AYE

But if we look at what the Government are trying to do, they are getting spending down from 47.4% of GDP to about 40% of GDP. We know from our history that about 40% of GDP is a sustainable level of Government spending. It is a level that I personally would like to see reduced further, but it is none the less a level that has been consistently affordable over the long run, certainly going back to ... 22 Apr 2013 NO
There are two issues here. First, it was not clear to me, but it has since been signalled to me, that the Leader of the House has concluded his speech; I thought he was giving way to the hon. Gentleman. Secondly, the hon. Gentleman should not accuse someone of misleading the House, which I thought I heard him suggest. Mr Speaker, I said he “would not want to” mislead the House. I am genuinely grat... 16 Apr 2013 NO
I wish to speak briefly to Lords amendment 2, which would be a major change to the Bill, and to amendment (a) to Lords amendment 3, which stands in my name and that of the hon. Member for Worthing West (Sir Peter Bottomley) . I will curtail my remarks, because I want to give other Members the opportunity to speak. Lords amendment 2 would be a major change. The issue here is not just about big corp... 16 Apr 2013 NO
Does not the hon. Gentleman agree that businesses throughout Britain have been laden down with regulation, particularly in employment, and that we have to try constantly to make it easier for them to take people on, particularly at the moment, when we need to do that to create jobs? With the greatest respect to the hon. Gentleman, I disagree. We have heard this argument about the overburdening of ... 16 Apr 2013 NO
This is the reality for many people in this country—not for the Chancellor’s millionaire pals, but for the millions of ordinary people in this country who are facing the reality of unemployment and, for those in work, squeezed living standards, under-employment and increasing insecurity. The truly startling but unsurprising reality, confirmed by the OBR, is that people will be worse off in 2015 th... 15 Apr 2013 NO

(c) for any relief, other than a relief that— (i) so far as it is applicable to goods, applies to goods of every description, and (ii) so far as it is applicable to services, applies to services of every description.

have supported us on this all along, and they have good reason for doing so. I want to try to persuade the hon. Member for Hayes and Harlington that Labour is right to support the Government’s position, so let me explain our position. If the Opposition spokespeople have changed their position— They have not changed their position. Well, if they have come to see the wisdom of the position adopted b... 13 Mar 2013 NO

Question accordingly agreed to. Bill read a Second time. On a point of order, Mr Speaker. On the Floor of the House today, we heard many times that the Bill should be committed to a Committee of the whole House. The Minister was asked whether that was possible, and he gave his reasons why he believed not. For clarification, Mr Speaker, and before we vote on the programme motion, is it possible to ... 5 Feb 2013 AYE
Labour introduced civil partnerships legislation in 2004 and since then, in a very short period, they have become widely and readily accepted. It has quickly become time to finish what was started then and I am very pleased that we are making progress with this Bill today. It is clear that there are concerns relating to detailed aspects of the Bill and it is, of course, right that they should be e... 5 Feb 2013 AYE
