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 AYE
(5) The amendment made by paragraph (3) comes into force on 28 April 2014 . (6) Where, having been satisfied as mentioned in subsection (4) of section 99A of the Finance Act 1986, the Commissioners for Her Majestys Revenue and Customs have recognised a market as a growth market in anticipation of the coming into force of the amendment made by paragraph (3), that recognition has effect on and after... 25 Mar 2014 AYE
(2) The amendment made by this Resolution comes into force at 6 pm on 19 March . 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. Question put, 25 Mar 2014 AYE
(4) Accordingly for that tax year— (a) section 21 of that Act (indexation of limits), so far as relating to the basic rate limit, does not apply, and (b) section 57 of that Act (indexation of allowances), so far as relating to the amount specified in section 35(1) of that Act, does not apply. And it is declared that it is expedient in the public interest that this Resolution should have statutory ... 25 Mar 2014 AYE
Some people have referred to this as the Lamborghini Budget. That may well be so, because there is one person in this Chamber who has shown that he can out-accelerate a Lamborghini. That is the shadow Chancellor in retreating from his predictions on the economy, such as the 1 million jobs that were never lost and the triple dip that never came. Is the right hon. Gentleman calling me a Lamborghini?... 25 Mar 2014 AYE
I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to amend the Representation of the People Act 1983 to disenfranchise all residents of Scotland eligible to vote in any United Kingdom General Election held after 18 September 2014 in the event of a positive vote in the Scottish Independence referendum; and for connected purposes. Ireland, Wales, and England have laws passed upon them in this Ho... 25 Mar 2014 NO

Let us remember that the Investment Management Association has deliberately failed to include those items in its draft statement of recommended practice. Will the hon. Gentleman give way? I am always delighted to hear from the hon. Gentleman, but I must make progress. It is worth adding that the FCA sits on the working group that reviews the IMA’s SORP. To put the SORP of the IMA—the fund managers... 17 Mar 2014 NO
Will the Minister give way? A poetic conclusion was nearly reached; but before I conclude I give way to the hon. Lady. I understand that the Minister is anxious not to rush to a conclusion, but can he tell us what time scale he has in mind? I urge the House to disagree with the Lords in their amendment 1. I shall of course be disagreeing with the Government’s disagreement with Lords amendment 1. 17 Mar 2014 AYE
designs to unregistered designs would change? In a nutshell, does he think that more people would register their designs as a result of clause 13? It will obviously take some time for the system to bed in. Can the Minister give us a time scale? When will the evaluation take place and how long will it last? I do not want to give a time scale. The hon. Gentleman has already referred to one that I ga... 12 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 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment made: 8, page 96, line 2, after ‘individuals’ insert ‘aged 18 or over who are’.—(Dr Poulter.) Amendment proposed: 29, page 100, line 29, after ‘Authority’, insert ‘and the Secretary of State’.— (Mr Jamie Reed.) 11 Mar 2014 NO
Under this Bill, the HRA would be responsible for overseeing the ethical review of health and adult social care research. As access to patient information may involve the consideration of ethical issues, it makes sense for the HRA to make decisions on applications for access to confidential patient information for research purposes. If my hon. Friend will forgive me, I will not give way. I have on... 11 Mar 2014 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Proceedings interrupted (Programme Order, this day ). The Speaker put forthwith the Question necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time ( Standing Order No. 83E ). Amendment proposed : 19, page 81, line 27, at end insert— 10 Mar 2014 NO
will review evidence of concerns about local authorities’ commissioning practice to establish whether it is appropriate to ask the CQC to undertake a targeted review under section 48 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008. Getting the message out to commissioners that the powers will be used is important in itself to concentrate minds. They will be under the spotlight if they fail in their commiss... 10 Mar 2014 NO
(a) promote and safeguard the health and well-being of carers; (b) ensure that effective procedures exist to identify patients who are or are about to become carers; (c) ensure that appropriate systems exist to ensure that carers receive appropriate information and advice; and (d) ensure that systems are in place to ensure that the relevant general medical services are rendered to their patients w... 10 Mar 2014 NO
Question accordingly negatived. ‘(1) A person (“P”) who provides regulated social care for an individual under arrangements made with P by a public authority, or paid for by a public authority, is to be taken for the purposes of subsection (3)(b) of section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998 (acts of public authorities) to be exercising a function of a public nature in doing so. (2) This section appli... 10 Mar 2014 NO
On new clause 24, local authorities are already under a duty to work with their local clinical commissioning groups and others through the health and wellbeing boards to undertake joint strategic needs assessments and to develop joint health and well-being strategies. Statutory guidance published in March 2013 makes it clear that these must be published and have specific regard to “what health and... 10 Mar 2014 NO

Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 125 agreed to. 10 Feb 2014 AYE
We can debate whether we should replace the words “smoking in cars” with the words “smoking in enclosed public places”. However, the arguments that are made by Government Members are all too often the wrong arguments and they are being left behind by society, which wants us to move again. That is why I support the Lords amendments. Protecting children is one of the most important responsibilities ... 10 Feb 2014 AYE
My hon. Friend the Member for North Swindon (Justin Tomlinson) talked about how people can set up their own business, and how that is a real engine for social mobility, and how this Government are helping people through the new enterprise allowance. Under us, businesses are setting up at the rate of 2,000 a month. That is what we want—young people setting up in business, older people and women set... 5 Feb 2014 NO
“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 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 112 disagreed to. 4 Feb 2014 AYE
against them could not possibly result in a conviction at trial. That means that the evidence against a person is so undermined that no conviction could be based on it. “a failure of the trial process”. The burden is not on the defendant to prove that they were innocent. In R (AH) v. the Secretary of State for Justice, the divisional court ruled that a miscarriage of justice occurs where an indivi... 4 Feb 2014 AYE
