Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 7 agreed to.	8 Apr 2010	AYE
Lest we do not have time for a Third Reading debate, perhaps I can trespass upon your time, Mr. Deputy Speaker, to wish the Minister, as I did in Committee, every good fortune for the future. I am delighted to have the opportunity to do so on the Floor of the House. I have enjoyed being her shadow and hope that I am able to enjoy being a substance in due course. Whatever happens, we wish her well ...	8 Apr 2010	NO
I feel strongly that we are moving into a new phase of politics, with all the Facebooks, Twitters and the rest. The question of disconnection remains important, but I congratulate my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Beaconsfield (Mr. Grieve) on the extent to which we have made progress in removing some of the more objectionable things from the Bill. I just do not think that that has gone far...	8 Apr 2010	AYE

The introduction of pre-legislative scrutiny has also added to work loads. However, it has made a lot of legislation a great deal better and I welcome it. I welcome the fact that four out of five draft Bills that received pre-legislative scrutiny in the 2008-09 Session were introduced. There are also private Members' Bills, which in some cases allow Members to bring their own policies into law. I ...	7 Apr 2010	AYE
"subordinate legislation" has the same meaning as in the Interpretation Act 1978. (13) In the application of this section to Scotland- "costs" means expenses; "injunction" means interdict.'.- (Mr. Timms.) Brought up, and added to the Bill.	7 Apr 2010	AYE
I refer the Committee to the comments that I made a few moments ago regarding my concern about the time scale, which was why I tabled the amendments. I look forward to the Minister's response. Taking my cue from the hon. Gentleman, I refer him to the remarks that I made a few moments ago, which I hope he found reassuring. In the light of that reassurance, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendme...	7 Apr 2010	AYE

The effect would be to end this debate now, to pass the Standing Order, and to allow us to get on with it. Order.

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 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

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
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.

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
