We must look at what is going on in our country. The north-east is suffering desperately from unemployment and under-employment. A careful, tailored approach is needed. That could be led by jobcentres if they were freed from the ministerial diktats from the centre and were able to use their expertise to work with young people to get them into the labour market with proper jobs, thereby starting th...	9 Apr 2014	NO

Order. I wish to call the Minister by 3.45 pm at the latest, so I ask the hon. Member for Gainsborough (Sir Edward Leigh) to ensure that he has sat down by then. I am grateful, Mr Caton. I apologise for not being here at the beginning of the debate, but I was at the Council of Europe. I wanted to come back here to speak on this measure especially, because I have campaigned for it for many years. T...	9 Apr 2014	NO

What is the payback? Our economy is the fastest-growing in the developed world. Wages are rising faster than they have done for seven years—that was announced today—and the private sector has created 1.6 million new jobs. That means that well over 1.5 million new families are finding work, and are able to meet the needs of their household budgets. I recognise that Government Members want to deal w...	8 Apr 2014	NO

Ministers have talked a lot about low incomes, and that is all very well, but is not the reality that the better off people are and the higher the rate of tax they are on, the more they benefit, so in fact higher-rate taxpayers benefit more than lower-rate taxpayers? The reality is that basic-rate taxpayers have benefited most from the measures that we have taken in increasing the personal allowan...	8 Apr 2014	NO

Standing Order No. 83B (programming committees) shall not apply to proceedings on Consideration and Third Reading.— (Mr Evennett.) Question agreed to.

On the starting rate of income tax for savers, we are cutting a 10p rate, not doubling a 10p rate. That will mean that 1 million more people will no longer pay tax on their savings. Opposition Members will be voting against that. The personal allowance will increase to £10,000 this year and £10,500 next year. Opposition Members will be voting against that. Were they to succeed, the personal allowa...	1 Apr 2014	NO

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

(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.

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

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

I am grateful to the Minister for some of the clarifications he has given so far. When he concludes his comments on new clause 16, will he confirm that the review of the guidance that he has invited me to chair will also consider the issue of consultation to ensure that it is genuinely pervious to public opinion and other clinical opinions in the area? I am happy to give my right hon. Friend that ...	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

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.

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.
