"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."

Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment disagreed to.	24 Nov 2008	NO
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	NO
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	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	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Government a mendment (g) to the Lords amendment made.	18 Nov 2008	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Madam Deputy Speaker then proceeded to put the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that hour. Main Question put and agreed to.	12 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	AYE

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	AYE
My right hon. Friend the Member for North-West Hampshire drew attention to the amendments on the Order Paper; there are a number of amendments on the motion on regional Select Committees, including an amendment on whether London should be included. There is a big debate to be had on that, but there is also concern about whether the mover of the amendment will even get the opportunity to be called ...	12 Nov 2008	NO
Division 314	10 Nov 2008	NO
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	AYE
Division 312	10 Nov 2008	NO
Let me clarify the proposal for the benefit of the hon. Gentleman and my hon. Friend the Member for Broxbourne (Mr. Walker) . The amendment would ensure that the accounts of the reclaim fund listed those who had participated in terms of the amounts that they had transferred, but also listed those who had not participated. In essence, what my hon. Friend the Member for Fareham (Mr. Hoban) is rightl...	3 Nov 2008	AYE
As chair of the all-party group on the community and voluntary sector, and one to whom the sector has been talking loudly on this issue, I very much appreciate the spirit in which my hon. Friend the Minister has tabled this amendment, as he promised that he would following our debate in Committee. He has been as good as his word. I will, if necessary, follow him into the Lobby to support new claus...	3 Nov 2008	NO

In a sense, my right hon. Friend is filling the role that I hoped would be played by my hon. Friend the Member for Canterbury in explaining the background to what my hon. Friend told us during the main Second Reading debate. Might not the point made by our right hon. Friend the Member for East Yorkshire (Mr. Knight) about Canterbury being reasonable carry more weight if it had not included in the ...	29 Oct 2008	AYE
My hon. Friend seems to think that any words of wisdom that come from his borough council are not to be challenged in any way. All I can say is that his attitude is very different from mine. My hon. Friend has been very generous in giving way. I may be able to answer his question. Government legislation to be introduced in 2010 will allow fixed penalty fines to be issued, and I should have thought...	29 Oct 2008	AYE
"we could be merely transporting the problem to a neighbouring council." The hon. Member for Manchester, Central (Tony Lloyd) , who spoke to support the Manchester City Council Bill, said: "The most sensible way forward is to have a national framework."—[ Official Report , 12 June 2008; Vol. 477, c. 524 .] rose in his place and claimed to move, That the Question be now put.

"one quality sets London 2012 apart" from the Sydney and other games: "Legacy; an intelligent, strategic approach to the morning after." She was referring to the morning after what will be the greatest games in Olympic memory, which will have benefits for young people and the east end for the rest of our lives. Question put, That the original words stand part of the Question:—	29 Oct 2008	AYE
I am proud to have been part of the process of considering the Bill and I urge the House to give it a Third Reading. I would like to add my welcome to the Bill. It will have an enormous impact on the way in which we order our economy and how the Government work. I am not sure that many people have assimilated that yet. In this place, we are often accused of short-termism; perhaps we are considerin...	28 Oct 2008	AYE
