I also want to emphasise to the Committee-the hon. Gentleman acknowledged this in moving the amendment-that we have committed to reviewing the implementation of free personal care within the first 12 to 18 months of the policy coming into force. After that review, it will be possible to reconsider the predicted costs of delivering free personal care and the conditions for eligibility, if necessary...	12 Jan 2010	AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. Bill read a Second time. Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 83A(7) ),	11 Jan 2010	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 62(2) ), That the Bill be now read a Second time.	11 Jan 2010	NO
"open the flood gates for increased litigation against schools". As the hon. Member for Yeovil (Mr. Laws) pointed out, how is the local government ombudsman going to be able to enforce loosely defined guarantees about the quality of education? The hon. Member for Yeovil is also right to question, as we do, the value of personalised home-school agreements-a point also well made by the right hon. Me...	11 Jan 2010	AYE

Further, evidence does not suggest that outsourcing the forecast would improve its accuracy. The Treasury's fiscal forecasts since 1997 have been marginally more accurate than the forecasts for the UK made by many independent international organisations, such as the OECD, the IMF and the European Commission, and no more or less cautious than the range. Instead, the Government's approach is to stre...	5 Jan 2010	AYE

The hon. Lady may still wish to respond, bearing that point in mind. I understand the concerns that have been raised, and we have looked into some of those raised by the Devon OSC. The PCN has confirmed that equipment to undertake open and minimally invasive procedures is in place in Plymouth. Additional equipment has been ordered, after discussion with a senior surgeon at the Royal Devon and Exet...	9 Dec 2009	NO
With the leave of the House, I will respond to the points made about amendments 35 and 36. I am grateful for the support of the hon. Member for South-West Bedfordshire (Andrew Selous) , and I note that my hon. Friend the Member for Northavon (Steve Webb) tabled similar amendments in Committee. I see the point that the Minister makes. However, the explanatory notes on the duty "to consult children,...	9 Dec 2009	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. '(1) The Secretary of State must, before the end of the period of three months beginning with the day on which the Act is passed, publish and lay before Parliament a report setting out an assessment of progress made towards meeting the 2010 target. (2) The 2010 target is that in the financial year beginning with 1 April 2010 , fewer than 1.7 million children live in...	9 Dec 2009	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. 'The Secretary of State shall make regulations setting out reduction in the causes of poverty targets.'.- (Andrew Selous.) Brought up, and read the First time.	9 Dec 2009	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added.	8 Dec 2009	NO
Despite remarks from the Opposition, my hon. Friend the Member for Ealing, Acton and Shepherd's Bush (Mr. Slaughter) has been a doughty campaigner for his constituency, including against the injustices that have come in under the Conservative council. The hon. Member for Croydon, Central (Mr. Pelling) made some telling points about highways maintenance in Croydon. This is a problem across the coun...	8 Dec 2009	AYE
May I also say that one of the- No, I will not give way to the right hon. Gentleman for the moment, because I want to address some important points that were put to me. If he will sit down, I will proceed with my answer. I will come on to deal with other points- [Interruption.] I will give way to the shadow spokesman first and then to the right hon. Member for Charnwood (Mr. Dorrell) . I am still ...	8 Dec 2009	AYE

My hon. Friend the Member for Cities of London and Westminster (Mr. Field) described the fag end of a Parliament that we are undoubtedly in at the moment. As we all know, we have reached the stage whereby the Government are pointlessly going into a last six months because they cannot call an election with any confidence of winning at the time that they normally would. We therefore have to fill the...	26 Nov 2009	AYE
I think that I have made my point. I urge the hon. and learned Gentleman to recognise that I have given him 100 per cent. reassurance about the purpose of paragraph 3. I hope that we can make the rest of this debate very short, and get on to the next issue. That concern has boiled down to the situation before us, where it is accepted that there might be an inquiry-rather than an inquest-and, there...	12 Nov 2009	AYE
The paragraph in question is paragraph 3 of schedule 1. The paragraph is about suspensions pending inquiry under the 2005 Act. The hon. and learned Gentleman's point is covered by the drafting in that paragraph, so there is absolutely a belt-and-braces approach. "has indicated approval to the Lord Chancellor, for the purposes of this paragraph". The purposes of that paragraph—paragraph 3 to schedu...	12 Nov 2009	AYE
I am not sure where that leaves aims for a Digital Britain. The Home Office paper, "Protecting the public in a changing communications environment", would better serve the public by enabling roaming than by some of the other activities planned for e-mails and such like. Now, a burden is placed on the consumer to find the ability to access more than one network. Consumers sometimes have to purchase...	11 Nov 2009	NO
Given that the staff working at the sharp end do not want to be involved in mandatory sanctions for women with children up to the age of three, why does my hon. Friend think that Ministers are so wedded to those mandatory sanctions? They have not explained themselves and my hon. Friend might be able to shed some light on this issue. I do not accept that sanctions are necessary. All that can be sai...	10 Nov 2009	NO
I do not accept that sanctions are necessary. All that can be said for them is that they provide a structure for the relationship, because staff cannot simply give up the attempt to make contact; they must continue the encouragement. That is the only beneficial aspect of a sanctions programme that I can see, and if it is to be used so rarely, why invoke it? In an earlier intervention, which was ra...	10 Nov 2009	NO
Leaving aside the example of drunkenness that has been given, as we are talking about sexual infidelity, is it not true that we are not talking about somebody who intended to kill or who was out for revenge? We are talking about someone who snapped and lost control, and a jury should therefore have all the facts. The hon. Gentleman sums it up exactly. Somebody snaps and loses control, and whether ...	9 Nov 2009	NO
I agree, and as the right hon. Gentleman will know, we have today been invited by the Home Secretary to extend the remit of the advisory committee to look at the possibility of admitting intercept evidence in coroners' inquests. I cannot speak for the right hon. Gentleman, but I would happily agree to the remit of the committee being widened in that way. With the leave of the House, I wish to repl...	9 Nov 2009	AYE
It is tempting on these occasions to load the IPC with a huge number of responsibilities. Part of what I have tried to set out is a balance of powers, so that it is the role of Government to set out need, get the skills strategy right and obtain the investment. The job of the IPC is to make a specific judgment about specific developments. That said, I am sympathetic to the point my hon. Friend mak...	9 Nov 2009	NO
"where D acted principally out of a desire". The key phrase is "acted principally". The jury decides whether someone acted principally out of the various matters referred to in the amendment. The Minister's problem with the subjective nature of "perceived" does not arise unless the jury thinks that that is the principal reason. No reasonable jury could possible believe that in the circumstances sh...	9 Nov 2009	NO
I will be very brief—briefer than I would otherwise be—one reason being that like many Members of the House, I would like to hear the views of the right hon. and learned Member for Folkestone and Hythe (Mr. Howard) , if, indeed, Mr. Deputy Speaker, you were minded to call him at any stage. In that hope, I will be as brief as I can be. It is exactly the same with a coroner's inquest. If somebody ha...	9 Nov 2009	AYE
We have made clear that on the question of public subsidy for nuclear—it was clear in the White Paper produced by my right hon. Friend the Member for Barrow and Furness (Mr. Hutton) —we are not going to provide public subsidy for the construction, operation and decommissioning of nuclear power stations. Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 83A ),	9 Nov 2009	NO
Division 241	9 Nov 2009	AYE
Indeed. I have no doubt that when we come to the third and fourth days, whenever they might be, we will find that yet more important business has been shuffled into the programme. The truth is that this House is being denied an opportunity to make very important changes to the constitution, or, if it is not ready to make them, at least to debate them. I am afraid that this Government like to shut ...	3 Nov 2009	NO
The right hon. and learned Gentleman will also be aware that there is a very high expectation of a statement tomorrow—the second day in Committee—so we will lose yet more time. That is again something that could not have been factored in when the programme motion was first considered. I remember, in the days when I was in Committees upstairs, time after time the habit crept in of putting in the kn...	3 Nov 2009	NO
