I confirm for the hon. Member for Rochdale that I will, of course, meet representatives of the asbestos victims support groups. I have met many such groups, trade unions and others who have campaigned on this issue, just as I have met those, including the Association of British Insurers, who are opposed to our doing anything at all about it. I shall not go through the history of the Bill or the le... 16 Oct 2009 AYE
As I understand clauses 1 and 2, they put back the old common law, but one of my concerns is the possibility for parallel litigation. Indeed, the Association of British Insurers has talked of a flood of exposure-related cases relating to different types of toxic products. However, having studied the Bill carefully, I think the association is being overly alarmist, because it is tightly drawn. I am... 16 Oct 2009 NO

Amendment 9, page 2, line 28, leave out 'have regard to' and insert 'comply with'. The amendments have the same intention for clause 2 as the previous amendments relating to clause 1. Amendment 4 is ther... 16 Oct 2009 NO
"If a decision not to implement a Law Commission proposal (in whole or in part) has been taken before the first reporting year, subsection (1)(b) does not require any report to deal with the proposal so far as it is covered by that decision." That means that if the Government decided not to implement part of a Law Commission proposal, the remaining parts, about which they had not reached a decisio... 16 Oct 2009 NO
Division 222 16 Oct 2009 AYE
On many occasions, when there has been some weird and wonderful House of Lords decision, the House has passed legislation to put the law back to what people thought it always was. I remember that the decision on causation in the Fairchild case was corrected in the House—putting the law back to what people thought it was before the House of Lords messed around with it. There is nothing particularly... 16 Oct 2009 NO
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Before we get to the Bill, I would like to raise with you an issue arising from what the Leader of the House said at column 449 yesterday in answer to a question put by my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Sleaford and North Hykeham (Mr. Hogg) . The Leader of the House said: "We obviously have to judge things by the rules and standards that obtai... 16 Oct 2009 NO
Who does my hon. Friend think is most likely to pay back that money early? What kind of person? Would he hazard a guess as to whether a richer or a poorer person would have that kind of money up front to pay back their loan more quickly? I am not sure of the answer to that question, but I suspect that the money would not come from somebody who saved in a credit union; it would be more likely to co... 14 Oct 2009 NO
The hon. Gentleman has been described many times as having two brains, and perhaps that explains how two totally different positions can be maintained within the same head. That is the only possible explanation, because it would cause most of us great mental perturbance if we tried to square that circle. I am not sure of the answer to that question, but I suspect that the money would not come from... 14 Oct 2009 NO

I am aware that we do not have a great deal of time for Third Reading, but I would like to thank right hon. and hon. Members, especially those who participated in Committee, for their deep consideration of the clause... 13 Oct 2009 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed : 27, page 50, line 8, at end insert- 13 Oct 2009 NO
I am very well aware of the interest my hon. Friend has shown in the issue-as has my hon. Friend the Member for Stroud (Mr. Drew) -and I think there is a way to ensure that the regional strategies and local spending reports take into account many of the concerns they have raised. I invite them both to a meeting with the Secretary of State and me to look at how we can take forward some of those imp... 13 Oct 2009 NO
New clause 17 proposes abolition of the Standards Board for England and the Adjudication Panel for England, which are two important and effective bodies. If that were to happen, councillors and members of local authority standards committees who look to the Standards Board for advice, guidance, training and direction about the conduct regime for local authority members would be cut adrift. In 2008... 13 Oct 2009 NO

(b) both current and proposed future spending. (4) Local spending reports shall be updated as frequently as is reasonably practicable but in any event at least once every two years. (5) The first report under this section must be laid before Parliament no later than 12 months after this Act is passed. (6) In this section the term "Local Spending Report" has the same meaning as in the Sustainable C... 13 Oct 2009 NO

We are also aware of other issues around parish polls, which my hon. Friend did not necessarily mention, such as their scope and conduct. That is why we recognised in the "Communities in control" White Paper that we need to make the rules governing parish polls more accessible and better understood and to define their scope more clearly. That is why my Department is taking work on parish polls for... 13 Oct 2009 NO
Proceedings interrupted (Programme Order, 8 June ) The Deputy Speaker put forthwith the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time ( Standing Order No. 83E ). Amendments made: 21, page 13 leave out lines 20 and 21 and insert- '(5) Schedule 8A makes further provision about trusts in respect of which an order is made under subsection (1).'. Amendment 22, in pag... 12 Oct 2009 NO
I was able to visit Ireland with Action on Smoking and Health just before the new law was introduced there. Does my hon. Friend agree that it has been introduced in a pain-free way, that most of the costs have been paid by the tobacco manufacturers and that businesses have not suffered? I agree with my hon. Friend and thank her for making that point. I attended a meeting with the Porthcawl cancer ... 12 Oct 2009 NO

I will give way if my hon. Friends give me a moment. It has been suggested that removing the display of tobacco would impact on business by reducing footfall trade—that is, the sale of other items to customers who come to buy cigarettes. By definition, by the time that a customer is in the shop their foot has already fallen. Of course, the provisions in the Bill will apply equally to all tobacco r... 12 Oct 2009 NO
Unfortunately, the Minister was very unhelpful in his summing up and he seemed to think that my hon. Friend was speaking complete rubbish. It is easy to dismiss remarks, buy my hon. Friend was obviously making very prescient comments. The Liberal Democrats will not oppose new clause 12. Although there is some regret about the fact that it has appeared so late in the day, I think that ultimately it... 12 Oct 2009 AYE

Bill read the First time; to be read a Second time on Friday 16 October , and to be printed (Bill 147). Presentation and First Reading ( Standing Order No. 57 ) Mr. Colin Challen presented a Bill to make provision for the introduction of a reward scheme for users of bus and rail services; and to extend the Bus Concessionary Fares Scheme. Bill read the First time; to be read a Second time on Friday... 21 Jul 2009 AYE
I do not like to disagree with Mr. Speaker, but I think that you used those terms-or something like them, anyhow. I submit to the House that, whatever was said or not said, it is a point of fact that Mr. Michael Martin, in his last election, did not stand as a Labour candidate. Nor did he stand as a Labour candidate in 2001. He stood as the Speaker seeking re-election and therefore as an independe... 21 Jul 2009 AYE
Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 83 (7) A), 21 Jul 2009 AYE
Will the hon. Gentleman add to that list, why was it good enough for the electors of Glasgow, East to have a by-election during the summer last year? The Government are arguing differently from the Dispatch Box this year. You were, Mr. Speaker, kind enough a few minutes ago to say that the point that I made was a point of fact. It is indeed a point of fact— I do not like to disagree with Mr. Speak... 21 Jul 2009 AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Given that the title of the motion is "Select Committee on Reform of the House of Commons", how can the fact that the Government allowed only an hour and a half for debate and the Chairman of the Committee voted in favour of the closure give Back Benchers any confidence? Is that not an abuse of the House, and does not it nega... 20 Jul 2009 NO
