Question accordingly negatived. Proceedings interrupted (Programme Order, this day). The Chairman put forthwith the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time ( Standing Order No. 83D ). Clause 26 ordered to stand part of the Bill.	19 Jan 2010	AYE
If the proposal became law under a Tory Government, that Government would be wholly in hock to their anaphylactically Eurosceptic tendency, with internal rows about what did or did not require a referendum. I can just hear the hon. Members for Stone and for Shipley (Philip Davies) condemning their Government for not holding a referendum on the slightest treaty that comes around. Even if I did supp...	19 Jan 2010	NO
They would have to ask for it. That raises an obvious question. Why do the Government think that this particular provision is at all desirable or necessary? Can the Minister identify any matter on which the Government may currently be defeated which they cannot bring back before the House at their discretion? No. The hon. and learned Gentleman makes a good point. As for my saying that it did not m...	19 Jan 2010	NO
"taking these first steps towards its stated objective of making Government more accountable to Parliament." Even when the Committee looked at the Bill, it believed it was getting something that we are not getting even in the debating of the Bill. The Committee indicated that "the Government's approach to constitutional modernisation has been a rebalancing of power". Those were the promises that w...	19 Jan 2010	AYE
Those are the very issues that we are looking at. I will table amendments on the issue for consideration in Committee, by which stage we will have further clarity on the points that the hon. Gentleman made. His contribution was important, and I know that my right hon. Friend has also been supportive on the matter. The second notable aspect of the debate was the fact that, for the first time in my ...	18 Jan 2010	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added.	13 Jan 2010	AYE
Let us not forget the contribution that commercial businesses need to make to avert costs in energy and reduce their carbon emissions. We help with expert advice, interest-free loans and mechanisms such as climate change agreements and the emissions trading scheme. The right hon. Member for Suffolk, Coastal (Mr. Gummer) , who is no longer in the Chamber- Yes, he is. Ah, there he is! Thank you. The...	13 Jan 2010	NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Bill read a Second time. Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 83A(7) ),	11 Jan 2010	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 62(2) ), That the Bill be now read a Second time.	11 Jan 2010	AYE
"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	NO
If the amendment standing in the name of the hon. Member for Wellingborough (Mr. Bone) were passed today, one of its inadvertent consequences would be that most of those days would be devoted to consideration of the nine Bills presented by the hon. Member for Hendon (Mr. Dismore) earlier today. I will not deviate from what I intended to say, which is not as extensive as it would be if I followed e...	6 Jan 2010	NO

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	NO

We have not got the time to get into the details of what happens if somebody has continuing needs with dementia. They have both health needs and care needs. The point that the hon. Gentleman has made about the Bill is clear-those on the Tory Benches would do nothing. They suggest that we would not provide the care at home in cases of advanced dementia that we all know is needed. I am not going to ...	14 Dec 2009	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	AYE
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	NO
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	NO
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	NO
I draw the hon. Gentleman's attention to the fact that in preparing a UK child poverty strategy, consideration must be given to any necessary measures required in respect of housing to support the tackling of child poverty, as set out in clause 8(5)(d). We are currently analysing the impact of housing on child poverty to inform the first child poverty strategy, and that analysis will determine the...	9 Dec 2009	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added.	8 Dec 2009	AYE
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	NO
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	NO
I welcome everything that my hon. and learned Friend has said. She will recall that I raised an issue to do with the Scottish Gypsy Traveller community earlier. Is she in a position to come back to me on the question of whether she believes that they are covered under the legislation by the category of race? My understanding is that there is already a case about that, although at first instance I ...	2 Dec 2009	AYE

I will not waste time. I shall speak to amendment 32, standing in my name, and to amendment 31, standing in the name of the hon. Member for Heywood and Middleton (Jim Dobbin) , who apologises for not being able to be here today. "The Charity has suspended the recruitment of new prospective adoptive parents to ensure that the Charity is not in breach of the Regulations or in breach of the tenets of...	2 Dec 2009	NO
