“The Bill establishes the secure college in law. Beyond the legal framework, the legislation does not specify details of the regime to be delivered within the secure college.” The most obvious example of that is the secure college rules. Effectively, the secure colleges are the old-style Borstals, and everybody knew that they did not work. Indeed. One of the fundamental problems is that there is n... 1 Dec 2014 NO

In a way, the wording does not matter. The net effect of those criteria is to set up retrospective tests that mean that the chilling effect will apply. Interveners are typically charities, not-for-profit organisations and others who may perhaps have funds to pay their own costs, but The hon. Gentleman is missing the point. Why should those who row in to back a judicial review that they lose be aut... 1 Dec 2014 NO

My hon. Friend rightly says that it was this Chancellor who set that carbon floor price, causing considerable difficulties for our industries. We are still having to go through hoops with those industries to get the relief they need. My right hon. Friend the Member for Torfaen (Paul Murphy) stressed the importance to our manufacturers of remaining in the EU and the very real fear that the Conserva... 26 Nov 2014 AYE
economic recovery, but to make sure we never get into this mess again. That is why it is all about finding the right balance: between ensuring that those with the broadest shoulders take the biggest burden and ensuring the UK remains internationally competitive and open for business. The motion's final point related to creating new funds for health and care. Since 2010, the Government have increas... 26 Nov 2014 AYE

I always give way to the hon. Lady and she always then serves up the most impossible and difficult interventions. I think she is the Michael Holding of interventions, with these very fast balls being bowled at me. My stumps have disappeared behind me, but what I would say is that I would apply exactly the same rules to those people as to anybody else. If someone commits an offence currently for wh... 24 Nov 2014 NO
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. She makes a point that she and other Labour Members have been fighting for. This Government are bequeathing the people of England a fractured landscape in the NHS, in skills and in transport, but we are embarking on a journey to empower people and places across England to work together, and we are placing the bus at the centre of that, as has been done so well i... 5 Nov 2014 AYE
(a) the extent to which the current legislation governing prostitution in England and Wales acts as an effective deterrent to demand for sexual services from exploited persons; (b) the extent to which the current legislation governing prostitution in England and Wales enables effective enforcement action against those trafficking people for sexual exploitation; and (c) the extent to which alternat... 4 Nov 2014 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Proceedings interrupted (Programme Order, this day). The Deputy Speaker put forthwith the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time ( Standing Order No. 83E ) New Clause 2 4 Nov 2014 AYE
I am encouraged that the Minister says her mind is open and that there will be further consideration. Can hon. Members take that as a distinct hint for more progress in the Lords? If my right hon. Friend will allow me to continue my comments, I will speak first about new clause 1. The new clause would open the way for the GLA’s remit to be extended to any area of work or sector, which would be a m... 4 Nov 2014 AYE
(2) A person may be in a situation of exploitation whether or not— (a) escape from the situation is practically possible for the person; or (b) the person has attempted to escape from the situation. (3) The consent or apparent consent of the person of the exploitation is irrelevant where any of the means set forth in section 9(1) has been used.’— (Diana Johnson.) Brought up. 4 Nov 2014 AYE
Despite the Crown Prosecution Service guidelines, children are still prosecuted. It should be an imperative for us in this legislation to stop that from occurring in the future, and this Bill provides us with an opportunity to do that. I point out to the Minister that in July the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child urged the Government, in relation to trafficked children and to all children co... 4 Nov 2014 AYE
To those who argue that there is no evidence of sex-selective abortion in the UK, I pose a question: what reason do we have to doubt the word of these organisations? If the testimony of these women and those who work with them is not enough, consider the statement of the GP and former BPAS consultant, Dr Vincent Argent, who said he had “no doubt” that this was a problem in the UK and that there we... 4 Nov 2014 AYE

Order. That is very unseemly conduct from the hon. Member for Easington (Grahame M. Morris) . I know you are an excitable chap and a keen parliamentarian, but the voice of Cleethorpes must be heard. Question put ( Standing Order No. 23 ). 29 Oct 2014 AYE
When we talked about Remploy and the staff who used to work there, a couple of points made by the right hon. Member for East Ham (Stephen Timms) were wrong. In fact, 80% of former employees have now found jobs or are receiving specialist tailored employment and support to help them find one. These are the sort of things we are doing to help disabled people, as well as helping an extra 116,000 peop... 28 Oct 2014 AYE
As I understand the Bill, it proposes that in the event of a custodial sentence of less than 12 months the recall mechanism can be triggered. Many offences are punished not by custodial sentences but by serious community penalties. Why have the Government taken the view that offences punished by such sentences should not trigger the ability to recall the Member? I must correct my hon. and learned ... 27 Oct 2014 NO
If the hon. Lady has concerns about local commissioning decisions, she should take them up with local commissioners. Time forbids me from going into the rationing of services by the previous Labour Government. It is important that clinical services are now designed and delivered by front-line health care professionals, and if she is concerned about them, I am sure she will take that up with her lo... 15 Oct 2014 AYE
Travel times are a genuine issue. If somebody is expected to travel—during the day as part of their work, rather than to and from work—that time should be included for minimum wage calculation purposes. I shall repeat the number for the pay and work rights helpline, which investigates these complaints: 0800 917 2368. Zero-hours contracts will be discussed in more detail in the Small Business, Ente... 15 Oct 2014 AYE

Will the Deputy Prime Minister give way? I will give way, but then I must make progress. Given that there are many in the House who have very strong concerns about this—I will vote for the motion, but with a very heavy heart—will the Deputy Prime Minister and Prime Minister commit to coming back to the House very regularly, particularly early in October when we return, to make statements to the Ho... 26 Sep 2014 AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. Bill read a Second time. On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. During the debate, many points of great interest have been raised and it has been suggested that further amendments will be made. I therefore think it would be highly beneficial if the Bill were referred to a Select Committee. I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving me notice of his intention... 5 Sep 2014 NO
