On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Although the two motions have been taken together, would it be possible to vote on each of them separately if necessary? Yes, of course. Further to that point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Many of us who would like to support the appointment of a chair of the Electoral Commission but who do not want to support the salary would very much like to have a separ... 17 Dec 2008 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Main Question put. 15 Dec 2008 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed: at the end of the Question to add: 15 Dec 2008 NO
My hon. Friend the Member for Warwick and Leamington (Mr. Plaskitt) made a brilliant speech about bank regulation. I was lost for most of it, but he really seemed to know what he was talking about. My right hon. Friend the Member for Croydon, North (Malcolm Wicks) made an erudite speech in which he spoke passionately about welfare reform and the value he attaches to it. My right hon. Friend said t... 15 Dec 2008 NO
Question accordingly negatived. On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. This is a point of order for you, because the motion that the House has so narrowly approved was very different from what you suggested last Wednesday. Will you please reflect on that and come back to the House with another statement tomorrow? The House has not agreed to any motion; it was an amendment that was put forward. Main Que... 8 Dec 2008 AYE
In addition, there has been an element of party political knockabout tonight, although some speeches have been very good. I simply put it to Government Members that irrespective of whether they agreed or disagreed with the previous Conservative Government, tonight's true debate is not about who was right or wrong; the true debate tonight is whether the Executive or Members of Parliament should dec... 8 Dec 2008 NO
I am very grateful, Mr. Speaker, and I will bring my remarks to an end, as other Members want to speak. We must consider both principles that I mentioned, and investigate these matters calmly and in a considered manner, but at the right time. May I inform you, Mr. Speaker, that one of the reasons why the Labour Benches are so gratifyingly full is that we are on a four-line box—a form of Whip that ... 8 Dec 2008 NO

2. Any further Message from the Lords may be considered forthwith without any Question being put. 3. The proceedings on any further Message from the Lords shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion one hour after their commencement. —[Mr. Frank Roy.] Question agreed to. Lords message considered. Lords amendment : No. 7A. 25 Nov 2008 AYE
"must be taken over the physical and emotional welfare and the dignity of people under eighteen who take part or are otherwise involved in programmes...irrespective of any consent given by" a parent or guardian. Children "must not be caused unnecessary distress or anxiety by their involvement in programmes or by the broadcast of those programmes." All I ask today is that the broadcasters should st... 25 Nov 2008 AYE
Does the hon. Lady know that in one development on a suburban street in south-west London the developers have proposed—because there is no street parking—a subterranean garage with a hydraulic lift to take the cars down, as if it were in the middle of Manhattan? I thank the hon. Lady for that example, and I am happy to trade another horrifying example from this past year—a year after the changes i... 24 Nov 2008 AYE
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker— [Interruption.] Order. Will Members leaving the Chamber please do so quickly and quietly, so that I can hear the point of order? Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. You will be aware of the confusion, caused by the statement by the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families in this place last Thursday, about access to the serious case review in th... 24 Nov 2008 AYE
I believe, Mr. Deputy Speaker, that we have agreement to move these amendments formally as the government agree with all— Lords amendment No s . 113 and 127 agreed to [Special Entry]. Lords amendment: No. 1. I beg to move, That this House agrees with the Lords in the said amendment. With this it will be convenient to discuss Lords amendments Nos. 25 to 33, 35, 36, 108 to 112, 114, 116, 128, 129 an... 19 Nov 2008 NO
"(a) in the interests of national security, (b) in the interests of the relationship between the United Kingdom and another country, or (c) otherwise in the public interest", however that "public interest" would be defined outside of national security. In other words, things could be secret simply because Ministers certified that they needed to be in the interest of avoiding embarrassment, or for ... 19 Nov 2008 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Question put, That this House disagrees with the Lords in the said amendment:— 19 Nov 2008 AYE
I am sorry, but I do not think that the Minister is answering the points made in the debate. He is certainly not answering our case, outlined by my hon. Friend the Member for Luton, South (Margaret Moran) , that different chief constables decide to interpret requests differently. The position is shambolic; it must be tidied up. I will get to that point later. I was stating our belief that, in gene... 19 Nov 2008 NO
Will the Minister clarify what she just said? Does the measure apply to the procurement of refurbished buildings as opposed to new ones? I shall check—but I understand that we have been through that a number of times, and that we have said that the measure will apply to new buildings that are required. I shall make absolutely sure that I am correct to say that, but my understanding is that the mea... 18 Nov 2008 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Government a mendment (g) to the Lords amendment made. 18 Nov 2008 NO
We should not underestimate the challenges inherent in delivering a fully operational scheme in a little over 16 months, but, despite its complexity, it is important for us to set a target and try to meet it. We are committed to introducing the feed-in tariff as soon as possible. However, choosing an arbitrary date at this stage will fetter our ability to deliver a fully functional and effective s... 18 Nov 2008 NO
"We devised our own amendment that did not specify a school council because we did not want to be too prescriptive; we wanted to give schools the opportunity to be creative and respond appropriately to their own circumstances, devising their own ways of gathering students' views".—[ Official Report, House of Lords, 1 July 2008; Vol. 703, c. 228-29 .] "schools would not have to alter what they were... 17 Nov 2008 AYE
The hon. Gentleman, with his usual prescience, anticipates an argument that I intend to develop. I am grateful for his extremely warm words; he has been a significant influence on me, a new boy on the Committee, and on my understanding of its proceedings. A sifting Committee. I strongly object to the short time allocated to this important debate. I do not believe that the Leader of the House or he... 12 Nov 2008 NO
(a) questions tabled in accordance with Standing Order (Regional Grand Committees (questions for oral answer)); (b) statements by a Minister of the Crown, in accordance with paragraph (5) below; (c) general debates on specified matters.

Will my hon. Friend give way? Mr. Deputy Speaker— You have only five minutes. It being one and a half hours after the commencement of proceedings on the motion, Mr. Deputy Speaker put the Question already proposed from the Chair, pursuant to Order [this day]. Question put, That the amendment be made:— 12 Nov 2008 NO
Division 314 10 Nov 2008 AYE
I certainly regard the hon. Gentleman as a friend for giving way. I was accusing not him of distributing Focuses—they would get lost in his vast constituency—but the hon. Member for Manchester, Withington (Mr. Leech) , who remains absent from this debate, as he has from the entire debate, as we shall make clear in Manchester. I shall remain as free with my remarks as the right hon. Gentleman is wi... 10 Nov 2008 NO
