It being later than three hours before the moment of interruption, the proceedings were interrupted (Programme Order, 14 May ). 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 made: 13, page 25, line 32, at end insert— “(aa) the duration of driving licences to be granted to drivers with rel...	23 Jun 2014	NO
This is all about individuals’ rights to walk on private property, just as I walked over the Duke of Northumberland’s land yesterday. I do not want to belittle or trivialise cases in which property owners experience significant stress, but there are already powers that permit landowners and land managers to apply to a local authority to make an order to divert or close a public path that crosses t...	23 Jun 2014	NO
I have another general point on my hon. Friend’s suggestions on how such decisions could be made more quickly. I hope that he welcomes this Government’s introduction of neighbourhood planning, which for the first time gives people who are not professional planners or elected local councillors the ability to draw up a plan for their neighbourhood. The key point about a neighbourhood plan is that it...	18 Jun 2014	AYE
My hon. Friend the Member for Warrington South (David Mowat) made a thoughtful and well informed contribution, like his previous contributions. Sadly, we have to conclude, like him, that Labour has nothing serious to say. My hon. Friend the Member for Daventry (Chris Heaton-Harris) comprehensively demolished the Opposition policy. He is absolutely right to point out that price controls stifle inve...	18 Jun 2014	NO
I believe I have only a few seconds left. I would like to underline that we are committed to resolving this issue. We are monitoring it extremely carefully, with a focus on ensuring that performance at HMPO improves, that passport applications are processed efficiently and effectively and that urgent and compassionate cases are prioritised. I recognise the importance— Order. I do not know what und...	18 Jun 2014	NO
I am not alone in wanting this change. The Joint Committee on Human Rights said in its report of October 2011: “We also support the amendment of the Public Order Act to remove all reference to offences based on insulting words and behaviour. This would enhance human rights and remove the possible incompatibility with the right to freedom of expression.” Peter Tatchell—an unlikely ally of mine, Mad...	17 Jun 2014	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed: 35, page 58, line 2, leave out clause 58.— (Mr Slaughter .)	17 Jun 2014	NO
(i) the question of whether leave should be granted, or (ii) where leave is granted, the proceedings on any application under this section made with such leave; (b) in any other case, until the proceedings are finally determined.” (5) Omit subsection (8).” — (Mr Vara.) The Schedule provides that challenges to a range of planning-related decisions and actions may only be brought with the leave of t...	17 Jun 2014	NO

I thank the Minister; we do have a little bit of time left. Does the Minister believe that people in this country will be better off at the time of the general election in 2015 than they were at the time of the last general election? Does she agree with the IFS that they will not be? The whole country will be better off, because we are fixing the economy, getting more people into work and seeing w...	12 Jun 2014	NO
Division 3	12 Jun 2014	AYE
“I’m not going to sign a blank piece of paper on your show”. Later the same day, my shadow also backtracked, saying that Labour supported the reforms, but that they did not go far enough. The Opposition have been in complete chaos and confusion about these landmark pension reforms—some of the most important that will ever be introduced. The reason why they have been in chaos is that they really do...	11 Jun 2014	NO

Will the Solicitor-General give way? I have one or two more points to make, and then I shall see if I can give way again. [Interruption.] All right, I will give way. The hon. Member for Chesterfield talked about looking at the polling, but he should look at the polling, because the people of this country are starting to turn to the Conservative party and to recognise the achievements of the Conser...	14 May 2014	NO
(b) not greater than two weeks rent for the accommodation in question. (9) Costs incurred by persons seeking accommodation for the undertaking of credit checks shall be reimbursed upon the signing of a tenancy agreement. (10) In this section, any reference to the grant or renewal of a tenancy shall include the grant or renewal or continuance of a lease or licence of, or other right or permission t...	13 May 2014	NO
(6) Where a ticket is sold through a secondary ticketing platform, guidance issued under section (1) shall set out how the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 apply to tickets as unique goods, including— (a) how sellers must provide all relevant information about the ticket including but not limited to the face value of the ticket and a designated...	13 May 2014	NO
Will the hon. Lady give way? No; as I said, I am not going to give way. Order. The House must listen to the hon. Lady. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I will not detain the House for long. I want to talk to new clause 13. I was hoping that my hon. Friend the Member for Shipley (Philip Davies) would not divide the House on it, but it has highlighted yet again the extremely important issue of food ...	13 May 2014	NO
I reassure the Minister that, as of September, that will be in the national curriculum, so all is under control. I am very grateful to the hon. Gentleman for highlighting that. To complete the set, may I use this opportunity to mention the important work done by credit unions that operate junior savers clubs in schools in the constituencies of many hon. Members? It would be great to have them in m...	13 May 2014	NO
The hon. Member for Rutherglen and Hamilton West raised the issue of guarantees being sold with products. Consumer protection regulations already prohibit traders from presenting statutory rights as a distinctive feature of their offer, so a guarantee that offered no more than a consumer’s statutory rights would already be prohibited. We have now made it easier for consumers to get their money bac...	13 May 2014	NO
The duties of custody officers include maintaining good order and discipline, but the provisions in the Bill will not by themselves allow them to use force for that purpose. That will not be possible unless specific provision is made in the secure college rules, in which the boundaries on the use of force should be set out. I repeat that we intend to consult on our approach to secure college rules...	12 May 2014	NO
(a) must treat the fact that the offence was committed in any of those circumstances as an aggravating factor; and (b) must state in open court that the offence was committed in such circumstances. (4) It is immaterial for the purposes of paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (2) whether or not the offender’s hostility is also based, to any extent, on any other factor not mentioned in that paragraph....	12 May 2014	NO
New clauses 37 to 42 deal with the use of open prisons and release on temporary licence. My hon. Friend mentioned the case of Michael Wheatley. It is an extremely concerning case, and, as my hon. Friend and other Members would expect, we are looking very carefully at what occurred. When we have completed our investigations, we will consider what further action needs to be taken. One of the challen...	12 May 2014	NO
“That is the intention, so the new clause has been drafted to have that effect.”—[ Official Report , 11 March 2014; Vol. 577, c. 244 .] The new clause proposed in March—we had a full debate and discussion about it—suggested that if the commissioners were content with the proposals put forward by a TSA, full public and patient consultation would kick in, whereas if the commissioners were not conten...	12 May 2014	NO

(4) In this section ‘place’ includes a place on board a vessel or other means of transport.” I read those subsections for the enjoyment of the Leader of the House, who I am delighted to say has joined us, to point out what a ludicrously complex piece of drafting that is, and what a ludicrously complex Bill it is. We point that out because attending that complexity is cost—enormous cost. The Secret...	30 Apr 2014	NO
(c) on any subsequent occasion, the name contained in a resolution under the terms of subsection (6)(a) shall replace the previous name in the same manner; (d) unless the context requires otherwise, in any enactment, instrument of other document passed or made before this subsection comes into force any reference to the National Assembly for Wales is to be read as, or as including, a reference to ...	30 Apr 2014	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 62(2) ), That the Bill be now read a Second time.	28 Apr 2014	AYE
The right hon. Member for Birmingham, Hodge Hill (Mr Byrne) supports the scheme, but I understand his concerns about the Washwood Heath maintenance depot. I agree with the hon. Member for Vauxhall (Kate Hoey) that it is wrong to brand people with genuine concerns about the line’s impact as nimbys. Tonight the House faces a great decision, one of national importance that will profoundly affect the ...	28 Apr 2014	NO
We also recognise that air services in some of the more remote parts of the UK represent a vital connection to the rest of the country. That is why there is an air passenger duty exemption for flights from the highlands and islands of Scotland. I am grateful for the exemptions for the highlands and islands of Scotland, but does the Minister think that the devolution of APD to Scotland and Wales wo...	9 Apr 2014	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Proceedings interrupted (Programme Order, 1 April ). The Chair put forthwith the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time ( Standing Order No. 83D ).
