(2) The amendment made by paragraph (1) has effect in relation to cases where the application for the amusement machine licence is received by the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs after 4 pm on 26 March 2010 . And it is declared that it is expedient in the public interest that this Resolution should have statutory effect under the provisions of the Provisional Collection of Taxe... 30 Mar 2010 AYE

5. Stamp duty land tax (relief for first-time buyers) 30 Mar 2010 AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. Question put, 30 Mar 2010 AYE
Difficult decisions will be demanded of us, but we will approach that challenge determined to protect vital front-line services-in health, education and police numbers-while we bring borrowing down. Because we blunted the force of the recession, our tax receipts are better than expected. Borrowing this year is £11 billion lower, but our plan to halve the deficit will continue at the same pace. We ... 30 Mar 2010 AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 118(6) ), 23 Mar 2010 AYE
I hope the Bill can now pass. With leave of the House, Mr. Deputy Speaker, I shall reply quickly to the hon. Members for North-West Norfolk (Mr. Bellingham) and for Somerton and Frome (Mr. Heath). First, I thank them very much indeed for their kind words, which are much appreciated. I put on record my thanks to both of them and their colleagues, who have served on a variety of Bills with me. They ... 23 Mar 2010 AYE
Question put and agreed to. Clause 32 accordingly ordered to stand part of the Bill. I beg to move amendment 4, page 21, line 29, leave out "may" and insert "shall". With this it will be convenient to discuss amendment 5, page 21, line 29, leave out "any of". Clause 33 covers the extent of the proposed Act. My amendments seek to strengthen the provisions which, as drafted, will allow the Governmen... 23 Mar 2010 NO

I accept everything that the Minister is saying, but EC regulation 1107/2006 is being reviewed. Is that not an opportunity to use the regulation itself, or an addendum to it, to make it absolutely clear that airlines are expected to allow people to bring on board their own personal oxygen cylinders or concentrators for use in the cabin? Surely that is an issue that can be cleared up this year. My ... 17 Mar 2010 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added. 16 Mar 2010 AYE
Whatever Ministers' motives, they have done for Britain what Philip Larkin said our parents do to us all. Strangely, they have let down the parents as much as their children. All those ambitions frustrated by a cut in the number of university places-more than a quarter of a million will miss out this year. For that reason alone, it is time to change. It is time to dare to dream again of a change f... 16 Mar 2010 NO
Exactly. As my hon. Friend suggests, Sir John's approach is already different from that of the ombudsman. Her approach was based on the scrutiny of individual cases, coupled with the requirement to prove that policyholders had relied on regulatory returns. Sir John has taken a flexible approach that already differs from that approach. The accusation levelled at the Government is that that we have ... 16 Mar 2010 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added. 9 Mar 2010 AYE
It is bad enough that the Government fudged and then ditched their own criteria, and that they failed to make the case for the new imagined benefits from unitary councils in Norwich and Exeter, but the proposals could have even more damaging effects. As we have heard, they could lead to a rise in council tax across the county of Devon, and we need to see them dropped. This has been a lively and oc... 9 Mar 2010 NO
I believe that MPs and Ministers are right to protest in their local areas if they feel the need to. As to marches, we on this side of the House are very good at marching, because we have had years of experience of marching to save our NHS. A local decision will involve the local MP, and he or she may be a Minister. The local NHS will involve patients, carers, the public and other key partners. Th... 9 Mar 2010 NO
I shall be brief, because we have made our position clear as we have debated the various groups of amendments this evening. The Bill is the usual random collection of measures-very much an omnibus Bill. Some are more unpalatable than others, and there are some good aspects which we have been pleased to support, such as compensation for the victims of overseas terrorism. The big problem for us-one ... 8 Mar 2010 AYE
Does it not surprise the hon. Gentleman that the Government never held any proper consultation with local authorities in order to discover whether this was a power that they wanted? Does not one usually ask people whether they want a power before one announces that the power is to be given to them? My hon. Friend asked a specific question about petitions. I am able to confirm that where a petition... 8 Mar 2010 NO
My hon. Friend the Member for Hendon (Mr. Dismore) commented on the views of the Joint Committee on Human Rights and has tabled some amendments, to which I shall speak shortly. The right hon. and learned Member for Sleaford and North Hykeham (Mr. Hogg) made a thoughtful speech that summarised some of the dilemmas that we face in balancing the need to protect our citizens with the need to gain thei... 8 Mar 2010 NO
I shall not detain the House any further, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Thank you for allowing me to make a brief contribution. I look forward to hearing the Minister's reply. The Crown Estate has a very strong sense of its responsibilities as steward of public resources. It manages its property assets as a trust and is conscious of who owns the assets it manages and who receives the income. I hope that I c... 4 Mar 2010 AYE
Amendment made to motion 6 : (a), at end add Main Q uestion, as amended, put and agreed to.

Division 97 4 Mar 2010 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed: 3, page 97, leave out lines 36 to 40 and insert- 2 Mar 2010 NO
What is distinct about Parliament that might justify provisions that are different from those that apply elsewhere? That is the central question running through our review of the legislative framework. We believe that while we must allow Parliament to exercise its democratic functions, we must also ensure that people are allowed to protest, because the right to protest is a valuable part of our de... 2 Mar 2010 NO
In addition, the Lord Chancellor should understand, in respect of his answer to me, that there is a proposal from the Wright Committee for speech-length restrictions on Report. We could get through the business that is before us much more quickly without the need for knives, or at least by having knives for any proposal that was multi-consenting, as it were, without the need for them late in proce... 2 Mar 2010 AYE
(a) the charges payable to Regional Counting Officers in connection with a referendum held on the voting system for parliamentary elections, and (b) sums payable in respect of increases in superannuation contributions required to be paid by local authorities in consequence of fees paid as part of those charges, and (2) the payment out of money provided by Parliament of any expenditure incurred by ... 2 Mar 2010 AYE
