Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added. 19 Oct 2009 AYE
They want to abolish the flexible new deal, when it has just got going on the advice of Lord Freud, who said last year: "The New Deals have been enormously successful". What they are offering instead is simply a new report, which is just a con and a rehash, and which, importantly, has less money behind it than our investment to support the unemployed. They say that they will spend £600 million ext... 19 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

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
That leads me to my second question to the Deputy Leader of the House. I think that she may have gone some way to allaying my concern, which is that all the recommendations of the Committee, when it reports to the House on or after 13 November , should be put to the House to be decided on a genuinely free vote. I say that with the Patronage Secretary looking at me with a friendly smile. This has b... 20 Jul 2009 AYE

Diageo's proposal is twofold. The first part is to close the packaging plant in Kilmarnock-one of three in Scotland-along with the cooperage in Port Dundas that was mentioned. The second part is to make a new investment of some £100 million, creating 400 new jobs elsewhere in Scotland. I understand that, as my right hon. Friend said, this has been greeted in Kilmarnock, where the greatest number o... 15 Jul 2009 AYE
The similarity is there. How would a proper relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States be prejudiced if both countries had to meet the same standard-probable cause? The suggestion has been made that a number of high-profile extradition cases have been unbalanced and unfair. I cannot accept that. I believe that the evidence on these matters is important. At first glance, the Oppo... 15 Jul 2009 NO

I have to say that I have not heard my right hon. Friend the Member for Sheffield, Brightside (Mr. Blunkett) say that. I believe that the treaty is an effective modernisation of this aspect of the relationship between the US and the UK. The reason why we did that is quite simple—and I believe that the hon. and learned Member for Beaconsfield (Mr. Grieve) agrees that we need effective judicial co-o... 15 Jul 2009 NO
Section 2 of the 1948 Act provided that a citizen of Eire who was a British subject immediately before 1 January 1949 could retain that status by making a claim in writing to the Secretary of State under certain conditions. That provision was replaced by section 31(3) of the British Nationality Act 1981, which allows those born in the Republic before 1949 to make a claim in writing to remain a Bri... 14 Jul 2009 NO
Section 31(3) of the British Nationality Act 1981 currently provides for British subjects born in the Republic of Ireland before 1949 to make a declaration to retain the British subject status they acquired at birth. The new clause seeks to extend that provision to those born after 1949. I shall not repeat the historical background that my hon. Friend the Member for Thurrock (Andrew Mackinlay) has... 14 Jul 2009 NO
preliminary Draft budget 2010 8 Jul 2009 AYE
That would be a costly and time-consuming exercise. Schemes are required to keep records for only six years, and finding that information would be either impossible or costly. Our experience of other pension law, such as trivial commutation, is that such record keeping would represent significant administrative burdens. Most schemes do not have complete records and it would be unrealistic to expec... 8 Jul 2009 AYE
My hon. Friend the Member for Taunton was wrong about one thing. He said that online bingo was taxed at 15 per cent., but the truth is that it is rarely taxed at all, because the vast bulk of it is run through offshore websites that pay no tax in this country. Even if they are subject to European Economic Area regulation, or whitelisting, they do not contribute to the process. They certainly do no... 8 Jul 2009 NO
I question the Minister's statement that beer is not a price-sensitive commodity. May I just clarify that that was not my statement? It was a quotation from one of the expert witnesses to the Treasury Committee. Let me start again. I question the so-called expert's statement that beer is not price-sensitive, or the Minister's acceptance of that statement, because if it were as self-evidently true ... 7 Jul 2009 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed: 37, page 2, line 10, leave out '£6,475' and insert '£10,000'.—( Mr. Jeremy Browne. ) 7 Jul 2009 NO
Order. The hon. Gentleman's remarks may well be correct, but perhaps we will restrict ourselves a little more to the terms of the new clause. I think that I have made my point. On the other hand, the shadow Chancellor has a history of being enthusiastic about flat-rate taxes. He came into office saying that he would consider their introduction, but it was only when he did so that he realised how f... 7 Jul 2009 NO
Does my hon. Friend agree that there has been some talk in the past 48 hours that if this new clause is passed tonight, the following morning the Government will not be able to collect taxes, the markets will crash and government will grind to a halt? Does he not agree that these are tales to frighten children and that people should decide to vote tonight on the merits of the arguments and not on ... 7 Jul 2009 NO

I cannot give way; I have very limited time. Another argument that is put forward is that the scheme will not help diminish fraud. Clearly the 24 European Union countries that have opted for an identity card scheme think that it will help attack fraud. It is not the key element, but it is one element. Of course, the Opposition want the scheme to be compulsory so that they can get their arguments a... 6 Jul 2009 NO
I have very little time, but I will. Will the Minister give me a guarantee that he will meet the consortium from Norfolk to discuss the issue at the earliest possible opportunity before the recess? I shall be happy to meet the hon. Gentleman and a representative from his constituency, although as I have inherited a large backlog of meetings from my predecessor, it may not be possible before the re... 6 Jul 2009 NO
Adjournment (summer) 1 Jul 2009 AYE
The convention is that it is only the hon. Member who secured the debate who intervenes, but I will give way. I am grateful to the Exchequer Secretary for giving way to me. Will the FSA also focus on the bespoke banking market in Northern Ireland, which is very different from the banking market elsewhere? Scotland also has different conditions. Will the FSA take those into account? I cannot answer... 1 Jul 2009 AYE
