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
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added.	11 Feb 2009	AYE
Will my hon. Friend give way? I have only two or three minutes before the guillotine falls. I want to be as brutally honest as the right hon. and learned Member for Rushcliffe. We do have problems discussing this issue in the Labour party: there is clearly a difference of opinion, and it would be wrong for us not to reflect that by debating the issue. However, I do not think that an Opposition day...	11 Feb 2009	NO
I will give way, but I am conscious of time and have a lot of points to cover. Given that the hon. Gentleman was not here for the rest of the debate, I hope that he will be very brief. I am grateful to the Minister. He knows that I am very fond of him and of Hartlepool, and that when I was a Minister, we spent a great deal of money on Hartlepool. One problem that we had when I was a Housing Minist...	11 Feb 2009	NO

I know that there is a desire to get on to the next set of amendments, but this is an important principle. I wish to press amendment No. 91 to a Division, and I urge hon. Members to support me. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Amendments made: 31, page 4, line 15, leave out 'two' and insert 'one'.

My hon. Friend the Member for High Peak (Tom Levitt) spoke of his own experience of the disastrous effect of a Tory recession on skills, employees and employers, contrasting it with the resilience that he observes on the ground in his constituency and the Labour response to a global downturn. He spoke of Tarmac's Jesuitical determination to invest in skills during a recession. He is right: busines...	3 Feb 2009	NO

If ever we saw a sign that the Conservative party is not ready for government, it is in the motion that it put before us tonight. What does it offer? Delay, indecision and more consideration. Just remember—the Conservatives used to accuse us of being obsessed with reviews. What do we have from them now? We have, "Let's have a review, let's put off the difficult decision." British business and the ...	28 Jan 2009	NO

"This is a valuable initiative which will help to encourage low income savers and we look forward to working with the Government to ensure that the scheme is a success." The hon. Member for Fareham asked about the automatic rolling over of accounts. As I explained, account providers will have to put in place a default option in cases where savers do not provide instructions about what they want to...	13 Jan 2009	AYE

Let us be clear. The choice is straightforward: you can vote against Second Reading, as Her Majesty's official Opposition want us to do, or you can support investment in businesses up and down the UK. You can support a Bill that will be part of a package of measures to help economic growth, or you can vote against it and propose unworkable amendments. You can be optimistic— Order. I think the hon....	12 Jan 2009	NO

"Commission that we need to provide 1.5 per cent. of GDP for the stimulus package to strengthen the economy".

My hon. Friend the Member for Warwick and Leamington (Mr. Plaskitt) made a brilliant speech about bank regulation. I was lost for most of it, but he really seemed to know what he was talking about. My right hon. Friend the Member for Croydon, North (Malcolm Wicks) made an erudite speech in which he spoke passionately about welfare reform and the value he attaches to it. My right hon. Friend said t...	15 Dec 2008	NO
If the Opposition told us where the axe would fall, we would know which school to visit, but it is revealing to look at the list of speakers in today's debate. There are 27 schools in the constituency of South Cambridgeshire, and four would be closed under Conservative plans. Two of the 17 schools in the constituency of Ilford, North are set to be closed, and the same is true of five of the 36 sch...	11 Dec 2008	NO

It would be interesting to have some indication from the Minister as to whether that forms any part of the Government's thinking. Beyond that, I have nothing to add, and I look forward to any further comments that the Minister might have. I join others in congratulating those in the other place on all their hard work. I especially congratulate my colleagues, Lord Oakeshott, Lord Kirkwood and Lord ...	25 Nov 2008	NO

Does the hon. Lady know that in one development on a suburban street in south-west London the developers have proposed—because there is no street parking—a subterranean garage with a hydraulic lift to take the cars down, as if it were in the middle of Manhattan? I thank the hon. Lady for that example, and I am happy to trade another horrifying example from this past year—a year after the changes i...	24 Nov 2008	AYE
