Question accordingly agreed to. Clause 26 ordered to stand part of the Bill. 10 Sep 2013 AYE
The hon. Member for North Down (Lady Hermon) intervened on the hon. Member for Banff and Buchan and referred to future elections “imminent or otherwise”. I would like to clarify that that is an existing definition under PPERA, not something new that the Bill would introduce. The Minister mentioned me, so I appreciate his giving me the opportunity to say that the Bill amends existing legislation, s... 10 Sep 2013 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Proceedings interrupted (Programme Order, 3 September ). The Chair put forthwith the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time (Standing Order No. 83D ). Clause 1, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill. 9 Sep 2013 NO
Order. The hon. Member for Brighton, Pavilion (Caroline Lucas) will be aware that we are pressed for time and that the mover of the amendment must have the opportunity to respond. I am sure that she will bear that in mind. I associate myself with the comments of the hon. Member for Nottingham North (Mr Allen) about the way in which the debate has been organised and the high number of amendments th... 9 Sep 2013 NO
I thank my hon. Friend for rising to make that point, which is valuable and is addressed by some of the amendments. The Bill is straightforward about those who should be covered by our register. I repeat that we are being very specific about the transparency we are seeking to achieve. We regard Ministers and permanent secretaries as the key decision makers. I cannot state that much more simply. Wi... 9 Sep 2013 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 62(2) ), That the Bill be now read a Second time. 3 Sep 2013 AYE
As the hon. Gentleman will know— [ Interruption. ] Order. The right hon. Gentleman must be heard; let us hear him. As the hon. Gentleman will know, the MPs’ code of conduct covers some of the misdemeanours to which he refers. What we are doing in relation to lobbying is specifically about third party lobbyists. In conclusion, I reiterate that the Bill is about transparency, openness and fairness. ... 3 Sep 2013 NO

which the Welsh Government have great hopes for, will be successful and that, in looking at it, we will form a different view. It is important to keep all one’s options open. As I was saying, NHS Blood and Transplant announced its new strategy on 11 July . It has a new chair who is full of vigour and who I am sure will do an extremely good job. performance in many other countries. There is no reas... 17 Jul 2013 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added. 17 Jul 2013 AYE
We must focus on improving productivity in the NHS so that we can do more with the resources that we have. As the Secretary of State outlined, that is about improving the technology in the NHS so that we can spend more money on care and free up staff time. If we use technology to better join up health and social care, staff will spend less time on paperwork and more time with patients, which will ... 17 Jul 2013 NO
commitment in its manifesto at the next general election to regulate second jobs. That is why we have led the debate today. Our motion on the Order Paper states: “as part of a wider regulatory framework for second jobs, from the start of the next Parliament, no hon. Members should be permitted to hold paid directorships or consultancies.” There have been some interesting critiques of the draftsman... 17 Jul 2013 NO
If the hon. Gentleman had been here to hear my opening speech, he would know that we have discussed our approach with the Police Service of Northern Ireland as well as other operational partners across the UK. While we are not seeking to opt in at this stage, we wish to negotiate and seek to influence so that we are in a position to opt in post-adoption, with the red lines. It is not the case that... 15 Jul 2013 NO
Division 60 15 Jul 2013 AYE
The Secretary of State says he is happy to go along with this agreement. Will he explain what agreement he is talking about? What we have agreed to do across the Government is table amendments to the Bill before the House at the moment that introduce things like a proportionality test, which is much needed and mirrors the situation in Germany. That is the kind of reform to the arrest warrant that ... 15 Jul 2013 NO
I am not suggesting that one should always be alert to the financial cost of issuing prescriptions, but I think it is right and fair to say that many general practitioners are aware of it. Increasingly, prescribing GPs—in other words, all GPs—are taking on the huge responsibility of bearing in mind the cost to the national health service of the prescriptions they issue their patients. It would be ... 10 Jul 2013 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added. 10 Jul 2013 AYE
I smiled when I heard Citizens Advice being quoted frequently today. Is that the same Citizens Advice that hired Polly Billington, a Labour adviser, in November 2012? She will be head of its campaigns and communications, and is a former senior adviser to the right hon. Member for Doncaster North. Is that why we have to have those definitive quotes all the time? I find it so. Maybe that is why the ... 10 Jul 2013 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Bill to be further considered tomorrow. Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 119(11) ), 8 Jul 2013 AYE
Although the Minister clearly cannot intervene in investigations by the Serious Fraud Office because prosecutorial authorities are quite separate from the Executive, which has always been the case and will, I am sure, continue to be the case for centuries to come, it would be useful for him to indicate what the state of play is in relation to breaches of existing criminal law that might give rise ... 8 Jul 2013 NO
There is also the international dimension. Part of the rationale for the Government’s current position on the 3% leverage ratio—or a leverage ratio of 33:1, if we want to put it that way—is that it is part of the new Basel regime. However, we have a particular issue in the UK. We are a global—some would say the main global—financial centre, but in a medium-sized economy. That gives us many great s... 8 Jul 2013 NO
(6) A statement under this section must be published by the regulator concerned in the way appearing to the regulator to be best calculated to bring it to the attention of the public. (7) A regulator may charge a reasonable fee for providing a person with a copy of the statement published under this section.

“No important new policy can be decided in Brussels or anywhere else without the consent of a British Minister answerable to a British government and British Parliament.” Since that time, we have seen those assurances undermined time and again. I hope the Prime Minister is successful in negotiating a new relationship. If he succeeds in doing so, I will be cheering him and I will campaign for a yes... 5 Jul 2013 AYE
The hon. Gentleman mentions the important pursuit of growth. Will he enlighten the House on what happened to his party’s five-point plan for growth, including his commitment to a reduction in VAT? We are desperately keen for the Government to bring forward any measures—whether measures on VAT or bringing forward capital infrastructure—that would stimulate growth. Any Chancellor worth his or her sa... 2 Jul 2013 AYE
My right hon. Friend, as always, is very acute and he realises that this is a political move. The change is being introduced with no analysis and no evidence base—it is a political move that will have significant redistributional consequences in favour of some areas at the expense of others, paying no regard whatever to the principles of localism that the Government used to proclaim. May I tempt m... 2 Jul 2013 NO
