Well, it is not amateur dramatics, as the hon. Gentleman says; this is about trying to assist blind people and it depends on what side of the argument one is on. In my role as Minister for disabled people, I have also been able to voice my support for this measure. Indeed, when I spoke at the lobby that I mentioned, I gave an unequivocal nod towards the Government's commitment to it, and my right ... 17 Mar 2009 NO
My right hon. Friend's interpretation of the views that I and other Labour Members expressed is a travesty. We are saying that the voluntary approach has been shown to be more effective in engaging people in the world of work, and we should pursue that approach. We are saying that any schemes that involve sanctions or people losing their benefit should be subject to a pilot scheme that compares th... 17 Mar 2009 NO
The right hon. Gentleman has suggested that the Government are wholly motivated by altruism, but a rather helpful Library note makes it clear that there was a Warwick agreement in 2004, and the trade union Unite has categorised this particular legislation as "red" under its traffic light system, which means: "Those policies and priorities where there is a disagreement between affiliates and the Go... 13 Mar 2009 AYE
The First Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means took the Chair as Deputy Speaker ( Standing Order No. 3 ). I beg to move, That the House sit in private. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 163 ). 13 Mar 2009 NO

Like my hon. Friend, I am glad to say that over the past decade there has been record investment in the arts in this country, both inside and outside London. As an MP with a constituency outside London and as a Minister who has visited a number of very active artistic endeavours outside London, I cannot remember when the arts scene outside the M25 was as vibrant and as active as it is today. I am ... 11 Mar 2009 AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I seek your advice on whether the frustration that the House has experienced tonight is appropriate. Conservative Members called for a vote and then did not vote—and they did it deliberately in order to delay us from reaching a motion that would allow the youth of the country to debate in this Chamber. What makes their backsides any... 11 Mar 2009 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 119(11) ), 11 Mar 2009 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 118(6) ), 11 Mar 2009 AYE
I am unhappy at any suggestion that the possession of cannabis—and skunk, of course, is so strong—or other potentially serious offences can be dealt with, not by a judicial authority but by something happening in the street, no record of which is kept at all. Like another hon. Member who spoke earlier, I want to declare an interest in that I am a serving special constable. I am also a member of th... 11 Mar 2009 NO
Question accordingly negatived. I have been advised that hon. Members seek a Division on amendment 16. On amendments 15 and 16. There cannot be a Division on amendment 15 because it is in a different group and has not been moved. 11 Mar 2009 NO
Amendment 14, in schedule 2, page 23, line 26, leave out subparagraph (3). As a London Member of Parliament, I agree with the right hon. Member for Greenwich and Woolwich (Mr. Raynsford) about the importance of Crossrail to the London economy; I am conscious that it will have real and considerable benefits, and I am anxious to ensure that we do not impede its progress. However, there are differenc... 11 Mar 2009 NO
"at the first instance of an initial prospectus being published for the imposition of an approved BRS", and that it would continue for the whole period for which the BRS existed. That means that it would be a long task in many cases, and that, too, would make it more difficult to get people of good quality on the board. We are told: "In appointing members to the Board the levying authority must ha... 11 Mar 2009 NO
1. Paragraphs 4 and 5 shall be omitted. 2. Proceedings on consideration shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion three hours after the commencement of proceedings on the motion for this Order. 3. Proceedings on Third Reading shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion four hours after the commencement of proceedings on the motion for this Orde... 11 Mar 2009 AYE
So that the general public can understand what is happening in the debate, will the Minister say whether he agrees with my analysis of the conciliation process—that a stalemate is likely and that the matter will go back to the Commission, where it will remain beyond the life of the Commission? Does the Minister anticipate a result before the European elections? We will know one way or the other wh... 10 Mar 2009 NO
I accept the point of my hon. Friend the Member for Halton (Derek Twigg) about the £2 billion, because that is essential to keep Jobcentre Plus going and working effectively. I also take his point—not least because we recently announced the Houghton report—about the role of local government of all political persuasions in working with its local communities to do everything possible for local labou... 10 Mar 2009 NO
I am pleased that the Minister is admitting that we will now be pulling away from the system that exists in this country, which did not seem to come across in his earlier remarks, but who is the DPP going to answer to? The DPP will be answerable to the Assembly for the use of resources and the administration of its office—that is very clear—but not for individual prosecution decisions, which are e... 4 Mar 2009 NO
I was reassured by the statement of the Deputy Leader of the House on the record that notwithstanding anything that may be before the House this evening, the duties, powers and responsibilities of the Committee on Standards and Privileges or the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards are not affected. It was enormously helpful to have that on the record, endorsed by my hon. Friend the Member for... 3 Mar 2009 AYE

"A company has a relevant non-lending relationship if— (a) the company stands, or has stood, in the position of a creditor or debtor in relation to a money debt, (b) the money debt did not arise from a transaction for the lending of money...and (c) the money debt is one of the kinds mentioned in subsection (2)." We then go through five other subsections to clause 479 to try to wrestle with the com... 3 Mar 2009 AYE

I should first say that the term "acting Speaker" is certainly not in the Standing Orders. Standing Order 83E(2)(c) speaks of "The question on any amendment, new clause or new schedule selected by the Speaker for separate decision". That is clear. Subsection (3) states: "On a motion made for a new clause or a new schedule, the Speaker shall put only the question that the clause or schedule be adde... 2 Mar 2009 AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. Amendment 140 agreed to. On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. My understanding is that we voted on new clause 23 although it had never been moved. Could we vote on my amendments 84 and 85, which were supported by 216 Members of Parliament? I think we should vote on those amendments. 2 Mar 2009 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. New clause 23 added to the Bill. 2 Mar 2009 NO
Amendment 96, page 6, line 7, leave out '£5,000' and insert '£7,500'. Amendment 97, page 6, line 18, leave out '£5,000' and insert '£7,500'. Amendment 98, page 6, line 35, leave out '£1,000' and insert '£1,500'. Amendment 99, page 6, line 35, leave out '£5,000' and insert '£7,500'.— (Mark Tami.) Amendment proposed: 121, page 6, line 38, at end insert— 2 Mar 2009 NO
This has been a very interesting debate. The proceedings of the Neill committee have been set out in some detail, so I shall not repeat them. The clause would end the big donor culture at a stroke. Some may argue for a cap of less than £50,000. I notice that the Liberal Democrats started to do that today. That, as the Lord Chancellor pointed out, is a flat contradiction of the Liberal party policy... 2 Mar 2009 NO

The hon. Member for Clwyd, West (Mr. Jones) paid tribute to the lamb from his constituency. He knows that Welsh lamb as a brand—like Hereford and others—has succeeded in overcoming many obstacles by clearly identifying its origin as a mark of quality and integrity. That is why people search it out. The hon. Gentleman and the hon. Member for Westbury (Dr. Murrison) spoke with passion about mandator... 24 Feb 2009 NO
The hon. Member for Bournemouth, East (Mr. Ellwood) stood up for his constituency by calling for more resources for Dorset, and I now turn to that point. The resources provided to Dorset police authority have gone up by 47 per cent. since 1997, which is a 12 per cent. increase in real terms. I will come to this morning's report in The Times in a moment, but police numbers in the hon. Gentleman's a... 24 Feb 2009 NO
Like the majority of my constituents who live along the boundary fence at Heathrow, and like my local borough council, I support the building of another runway at Heathrow. However, as you will rightly remind me if I carry on in this vein, Madam Deputy Speaker, this is not yet another debate about Heathrow, so I shall avoid that subject for the moment; there will be plenty more opportunities. I op... 24 Feb 2009 NO
