Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added.	17 Dec 2014	AYE
The hon. Member for Edinburgh East (Sheila Gilmore) suggested that the comparison with the private rented sector was something of an afterthought. Uncharacteristically for her, she had not read the impact assessment we published in 2012, in which we made that very point. We heard from some of my hon. Friends about how their local authorities have been very proactive in this area. We heard how, in ...	17 Dec 2014	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Clause 24 ordered to stand part of the Bill.	16 Dec 2014	NO
I want to take on board the point about universities and freedom of speech. As I have said previously, universities’ commitment to freedom of speech and the rationality underpinning the advancement of knowledge mean that they represent one of our most important safeguards against extremist views and ideologies. The duty is not about restricting freedom of speech. We have not had the advantage of s...	16 Dec 2014	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Clause 1 ordered to stand part of the Bill.	15 Dec 2014	NO
I completely understand why the Government have decided that within the 14-day period there should be no appeal or review, but I cannot understand why paragraph 8 of schedule 1 prohibits or prevents the judge from considering whether there is a basis for the order or retention in the first place. All the judge can do is ensure that those who are considering the matter are doing so diligently. He i...	15 Dec 2014	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 62(2) ), That the Bill be now read a Second time.	8 Dec 2014	AYE
Further public accountability will be provided by the new watchdog mentioned by the hon. Member for Rugby (Mark Pawsey) . We will be converting Passenger Focus into a new body, Transport Focus, which will better describe its reason for existence: it will now be commenting on the state of the roads as well as the modes of transport that use them. When Brunel was building his bridge, there was no pl...	8 Dec 2014	NO
I do not want to preview the Adjournment debate too widely, although we do want to generate interest in it, but my case is that although the Government have attempted to introduce steps to alleviate such impacts, they are actually mitigating the unfairness rather than dealing with its cause, which is the way the Treasury taxes pensions that are effectively a second pension on the same job because ...	3 Dec 2014	NO
“The Bill establishes the secure college in law. Beyond the legal framework, the legislation does not specify details of the regime to be delivered within the secure college.” The most obvious example of that is the secure college rules. Effectively, the secure colleges are the old-style Borstals, and everybody knew that they did not work. Indeed. One of the fundamental problems is that there is n...	1 Dec 2014	AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 107 disagreed to.	1 Dec 2014	AYE

In a way, the wording does not matter. The net effect of those criteria is to set up retrospective tests that mean that the chilling effect will apply. Interveners are typically charities, not-for-profit organisations and others who may perhaps have funds to pay their own costs, but The hon. Gentleman is missing the point. Why should those who row in to back a judicial review that they lose be aut...	1 Dec 2014	AYE

My hon. Friend rightly says that it was this Chancellor who set that carbon floor price, causing considerable difficulties for our industries. We are still having to go through hoops with those industries to get the relief they need. My right hon. Friend the Member for Torfaen (Paul Murphy) stressed the importance to our manufacturers of remaining in the EU and the very real fear that the Conserva...	26 Nov 2014	NO
economic recovery, but to make sure we never get into this mess again. That is why it is all about finding the right balance: between ensuring that those with the broadest shoulders take the biggest burden and ensuring the UK remains internationally competitive and open for business. The motion's final point related to creating new funds for health and care. Since 2010, the Government have increas...	26 Nov 2014	NO

The hon. Member for Clacton (Douglas Carswell) , who has not returned to his seat, said that there was 100% agreement within his party. I hope he spoke to its economics spokesman before he made those comments, because he may find that that is not the case. I want to make a point about prima facie evidence. It is not a requirement under the 1957 extradition convention that requesting states provide...	19 Nov 2014	AYE
environment that we can have prosperity, growth and indeed the environmental protections that she is so passionate about. I strongly support, and urge her to support, the deregulation target. Why does the Minister present regulation as always being anti-business, given that so many businesses are saying that smart regulation is good for a competitive environment? Of course, if we can achieve the r...	18 Nov 2014	NO
I most certainly do agree with my hon. Friend. It is a peculiar world—I would use the word “bonkers”—when someone earning £100,000 can benefit more from a new Government scheme than somebody on perhaps £20,000. It is important that the Government think again on some of these points. Universal credit is still in its infancy and is being gradually rolled out. It seems to make little sense to limit h...	17 Nov 2014	NO
“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	NO

such as having a multiple-negotiated outcome, rather than the European arrest warrant. We will not be able to talk about the other implications of Europol and Eurojust for the actions of the European Court and the ability of the Home Secretary to pass laws that protect us. All in all, I think that this is a very unfortunate outcome for Parliament today—a very clever parliamentary trick, but very p...	10 Nov 2014	NO
Secretary promised a debate on the European arrest warrant and promised a vote on it, and she has not given it. Do you agree that that is not a reply to a business motion debate? I think I have set out the position clearly and there is nothing at this stage for me to add, but Members will form their own view. That is the fairest thing I can say—Members will form their own view. I think I am right ...	10 Nov 2014	AYE
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. She makes a point that she and other Labour Members have been fighting for. This Government are bequeathing the people of England a fractured landscape in the NHS, in skills and in transport, but we are embarking on a journey to empower people and places across England to work together, and we are placing the bus at the centre of that, as has been done so well i...	5 Nov 2014	NO
(a) the extent to which the current legislation governing prostitution in England and Wales acts as an effective deterrent to demand for sexual services from exploited persons; (b) the extent to which the current legislation governing prostitution in England and Wales enables effective enforcement action against those trafficking people for sexual exploitation; and (c) the extent to which alternat...	4 Nov 2014	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Proceedings interrupted (Programme Order, this day). The Deputy Speaker put forthwith the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time ( Standing Order No. 83E ) New Clause 2	4 Nov 2014	NO
I am encouraged that the Minister says her mind is open and that there will be further consideration. Can hon. Members take that as a distinct hint for more progress in the Lords? If my right hon. Friend will allow me to continue my comments, I will speak first about new clause 1. The new clause would open the way for the GLA’s remit to be extended to any area of work or sector, which would be a m...	4 Nov 2014	NO
