This is a matter of principle, as my noble Friend Lord Davies explained clearly in the other place earlier today, on which the Government are unwilling and, indeed, unable to move. In that context, the House should be clear that to lose the Railways Bill because of this matter would be unfortunate, not least because of the level of consensus on the Bill in this and the other place. The speed at wh... 6 Apr 2005 NO
I beg to move, That the Bill be considered in the following order, namely, clause 18, clauses 1 to 17, new clauses, new schedules, clause 19, schedules 1 and 2, clause 20 and remaining proceedings on the Bill. The proposed order of consideration will ensure that we can deal with the reasons why the Government are amending clause 18. I know that it is a remaining area of concern, and I want hon. Me... 6 Apr 2005 NO

The position on the sunset clause is the biggest absurdity of all. We have a Labour peer—Baroness Hayman, previously a Member of this House—putting forward the eminently sensible suggestion of a sunset clause, to come into effect after a year, for this legislation, which is acknowledged on all sides to be temporary, emergency and not entirely well considered. That is not acceptable. To say that to... 10 Mar 2005 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed: (b), in line 5, leave out from "effect" to end.—[Mr. Lidington.] 10 Mar 2005 AYE
Does the Secretary of State agree that Sinn Fein should take note of the fact that those who have sought and sustained a constructive dialogue nevertheless find themselves with no alternative but to support the sanctions? That is a consequence of the strains that the IRA's actions have now placed on the process. Sinn Fein really must reflect—I am sure that it will—on our debate and start visibly t... 10 Mar 2005 AYE

Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment, as amended, agreed to. 9 Mar 2005 NO
Far more important than that almost but not quite arcane point about the standard of proof is the condition that the suspect must have the best opportunity to answer the case against him. I have been greatly cheered by the attitude of my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary to reviewing the system of special advocates. Will my hon. and learned Friend give way? No, I do not have time and others wan... 9 Mar 2005 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment disagreed to. 9 Mar 2005 NO
I cannot give way to the right hon. Gentleman. I will just complete my five minutes before I resume my place. I realise that he is on the side of the angels but his particular angel is being too naive if he thinks that we are half way near to getting the sort of terrorism legislation that the House should approve, in any circumstances, once it is given the proper time to debate it. I regret that I... 9 Mar 2005 NO

Division 37 19 Jan 2005 NO
In the constituency of the hon. Member for North Wiltshire, there are now 2,365 more nurses, and 849 more doctors, in his strategic health authority area. North Wiltshire has 290 more teachers than in 1997, and Wiltshire has 63 more police officers. Unemployment has fallen 63 per cent. since 1997. None of that was mentioned in the criticisms that he levelled. That comes on top of announcements thi... 19 Jan 2005 AYE
"The tax plans unveiled by the Tories fail the credibility test." It is worth reading a little more. It says: "The White Queen in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland claimed she had believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. The Conservatives are less ambitious in wanting voters to believe in only three". One thing we do know is that even on the basis of those numbers that fail th... 19 Jan 2005 AYE
