Question accordingly negatived. Main Question put.	30 Apr 2009	AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. Motion made, and Question proposed, (1) That, in the opinion of this House, staff who work for an hon. Member should be employed by the House, as a personal appointment and managed by the hon. Member; and (2) That the House of Commons Commission shall consider this decision and make recommendations for its implementation, including any transitional provisions which ...	30 Apr 2009	NO
(3) That the provisions of this Resolution shall apply whether or not the interest in question depends essentially upon, or arises out of, the hon. Member's position as a Member of Parliament; and (4) That the provisions of this Resolution shall come into effect on 1 July 2009 . —[Chris Bryant.] Does the hon. Member for South Staffordshire (Sir Patrick Cormack) wish to move amendment (g)? I wish j...	30 Apr 2009	AYE
In order to help the hon. Gentleman, it was explained earlier that the following motions can be voted against. The House can negate them if it so wishes. [Interruption.] The right hon. Member for Maidstone and The Weald (Miss Widdecombe) was very good at being a Home Office Minister, but she should let me do the chairing. She will find it easier. On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. As a mere ex-Home...	30 Apr 2009	AYE
The other issue that we need to clarify, which was raised by the right hon. and learned Member for Folkestone and Hythe (Mr. Howard) , concerns the position of the Government of Nepal and the court case. The Nepalese official who gave evidence to the court case did so in a private capacity. There was nobody there from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nepalese Government have not given a vie...	29 Apr 2009	NO
(b) in sub-paragraph (b) (lower-emission van), for "£120" substitute "£125". (5) The amendments made by this Resolution have effect in relation to licences taken out on or after 1 May 2009 . 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. That provision may be made...	28 Apr 2009	AYE
6. CORPORATION TAX (SMALL COMPANIES' RATES AND FRACTIONS FOR FINANCIAL YEAR 2009)	28 Apr 2009	AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. Question put,	28 Apr 2009	AYE
(1) For the tax year 2009-10 the amount specified in section 35 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (personal allowance for those aged under 65) is replaced with "£6,475". (2) Accordingly, section 57 of that Act (indexation of allowances), so far as relating to the amount specified in section 35 of that Act, does not apply for that tax year. (3) This Resolution does not require a change to be made in the a...	28 Apr 2009	AYE

Given the limited time that I have to respond to the debate, it is clear that I must focus on some of the major issues. My hon. Friend the Member for Great Grimsby (Mr. Mitchell) spoke exclusively about rates in ports. Rather than responding in detail now, I refer him to the fact that there will be a debate on the Floor of the House next Wednesday on the regulations that the Government propose to ...	25 Mar 2009	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added.	25 Mar 2009	AYE
My hon. Friend the Member for Newport, West (Paul Flynn) , with whom I often disagree, brought home the gravity of the decisions with which we were all confronted back in 2003 by the simple act of reading out the names this afternoon of all of our people who died in the operation in Iraq. Acknowledging that gravity is something that unites the House. A couple of other things also unite the House. ...	25 Mar 2009	NO
Division 87	24 Mar 2009	AYE
Government amendment 131. We come to the anonymous witnesses part of the Bill. Members will recall that the anonymous witness provisions in the existing law passed through the House in one day last year, and through the other place in two days. At that point, we were promised proper consideration of the provisions in a full debate, in a full Bill. We are now left with a Report stage, effectively o...	24 Mar 2009	NO
The hon. and learned Member for Harborough says that we are suffering from them, but I was about to say that my mistakes pale into insignificance when compared with the triumphs of this Administration, of whom I have been an adornment. Name the triumphs! Another hon. Gentleman on the Opposition Front Bench asks me to name the triumphs. I could name a number of them, but I shall name just one. Acco...	24 Mar 2009	NO
The hon. Gentleman, as always, puts the argument so eloquently that I simply endorse what he says. Does my hon. Friend agree—I assume she does, as she will have signed off the information given by the Government at the time of this debate—that if the removal of the free speech clause will not affect the threshold of the offence, logically its retention cannot affect the threshold of the offence ei...	24 Mar 2009	NO
We took evidence in Committee, and I asked about what would happen to the kids of drug addicts if the parents' benefits were cut. One charity that supported conditionality could not answer that question. In Committee, the Minister for Employment and Welfare Reform said that the ideas about what would happen were fatuous and vacuous. He has been using such words quite a lot recently, and his resort...	17 Mar 2009	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed : 35, page 4, line 22 , at end insert—	17 Mar 2009	NO
Well, it is not amateur dramatics, as the hon. Gentleman says; this is about trying to assist blind people and it depends on what side of the argument one is on. In my role as Minister for disabled people, I have also been able to voice my support for this measure. Indeed, when I spoke at the lobby that I mentioned, I gave an unequivocal nod towards the Government's commitment to it, and my right ...	17 Mar 2009	NO
My right hon. Friend's interpretation of the views that I and other Labour Members expressed is a travesty. We are saying that the voluntary approach has been shown to be more effective in engaging people in the world of work, and we should pursue that approach. We are saying that any schemes that involve sanctions or people losing their benefit should be subject to a pilot scheme that compares th...	17 Mar 2009	NO

Like my hon. Friend, I am glad to say that over the past decade there has been record investment in the arts in this country, both inside and outside London. As an MP with a constituency outside London and as a Minister who has visited a number of very active artistic endeavours outside London, I cannot remember when the arts scene outside the M25 was as vibrant and as active as it is today. I am ...	11 Mar 2009	AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I seek your advice on whether the frustration that the House has experienced tonight is appropriate. Conservative Members called for a vote and then did not vote—and they did it deliberately in order to delay us from reaching a motion that would allow the youth of the country to debate in this Chamber. What makes their backsides any...	11 Mar 2009	NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 119(11) ),	11 Mar 2009	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 118(6) ),	11 Mar 2009	AYE
I am unhappy at any suggestion that the possession of cannabis—and skunk, of course, is so strong—or other potentially serious offences can be dealt with, not by a judicial authority but by something happening in the street, no record of which is kept at all. Like another hon. Member who spoke earlier, I want to declare an interest in that I am a serving special constable. I am also a member of th...	11 Mar 2009	NO
Question accordingly negatived. I have been advised that hon. Members seek a Division on amendment 16. On amendments 15 and 16. There cannot be a Division on amendment 15 because it is in a different group and has not been moved.	11 Mar 2009	NO
Amendment 14, in schedule 2, page 23, line 26, leave out subparagraph (3). As a London Member of Parliament, I agree with the right hon. Member for Greenwich and Woolwich (Mr. Raynsford) about the importance of Crossrail to the London economy; I am conscious that it will have real and considerable benefits, and I am anxious to ensure that we do not impede its progress. However, there are differenc...	11 Mar 2009	NO
"at the first instance of an initial prospectus being published for the imposition of an approved BRS", and that it would continue for the whole period for which the BRS existed. That means that it would be a long task in many cases, and that, too, would make it more difficult to get people of good quality on the board. We are told: "In appointing members to the Board the levying authority must ha...	11 Mar 2009	NO
