Fundamentally in the end, I think those people who are speaking against the cap betray their own lack of confidence in their ability, should they wish to, to come to the House transparently and accountably and persuade the House— I have one minute left. No, I am not going to take any interventions; I am going to make progress. Those people who speak against the cap betray an enormous lack of confi...	26 Mar 2014	AYE
(5) The amendment made by paragraph (3) comes into force on 28 April 2014 . (6) Where, having been satisfied as mentioned in subsection (4) of section 99A of the Finance Act 1986, the Commissioners for Her Majestys Revenue and Customs have recognised a market as a growth market in anticipation of the coming into force of the amendment made by paragraph (3), that recognition has effect on and after...	25 Mar 2014	NO
(4) Accordingly for that tax year— (a) section 21 of that Act (indexation of limits), so far as relating to the basic rate limit, does not apply, and (b) section 57 of that Act (indexation of allowances), so far as relating to the amount specified in section 35(1) of that Act, does not apply. And it is declared that it is expedient in the public interest that this Resolution should have statutory ...	25 Mar 2014	NO
Some people have referred to this as the Lamborghini Budget. That may well be so, because there is one person in this Chamber who has shown that he can out-accelerate a Lamborghini. That is the shadow Chancellor in retreating from his predictions on the economy, such as the 1 million jobs that were never lost and the triple dip that never came. Is the right hon. Gentleman calling me a Lamborghini?...	25 Mar 2014	NO
I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to amend the Representation of the People Act 1983 to disenfranchise all residents of Scotland eligible to vote in any United Kingdom General Election held after 18 September 2014 in the event of a positive vote in the Scottish Independence referendum; and for connected purposes. Ireland, Wales, and England have laws passed upon them in this Ho...	25 Mar 2014	NO

Let us remember that the Investment Management Association has deliberately failed to include those items in its draft statement of recommended practice. Will the hon. Gentleman give way? I am always delighted to hear from the hon. Gentleman, but I must make progress. It is worth adding that the FCA sits on the working group that reviews the IMA’s SORP. To put the SORP of the IMA—the fund managers...	17 Mar 2014	AYE
Will the Minister give way? A poetic conclusion was nearly reached; but before I conclude I give way to the hon. Lady. I understand that the Minister is anxious not to rush to a conclusion, but can he tell us what time scale he has in mind? I urge the House to disagree with the Lords in their amendment 1. I shall of course be disagreeing with the Government’s disagreement with Lords amendment 1.	17 Mar 2014	NO

Motion lapsed ( Standing Order No. 9(3) ). Motion made, and Question proposed, That this House do no adjourn.—(Amber Rudd.) As my right hon. Friend the Member for Barking (Margaret Hodge) has repeatedly argued, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs is not tackling this problem seriously enough and “pursues tax owed by the smaller businesses but seems to lose its nerve when it comes to mounting prosecu...	5 Mar 2014	AYE

their rights and will continue to do so, but my conclusion is that I do not believe that imposing a travel ban on those promoting the Bill, which is supported by Ugandan parliamentary and public opinion, would achieve the results that he and my hon. Friend the Member for Reigate wish. Free, tolerant, open and inclusive societies are better able to fulfil the aspirations of their people. They are m...	12 Feb 2014	NO
Further to the speech that my hon. Friend the Member for Bromley and Chislehurst (Robert Neill) made earlier, will the Minister confirm or deny that the Liberal Democrats stood in the way of a fairer deal for rural areas? There is more that local government can do to hold down costs. An example can be seen in the tri-borough initiative in west London, involving Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington a...	12 Feb 2014	NO
happens. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman’s hon. Friends can take note that he is struggling to make himself heard above the noise. I am happy to be ignored in perfect silence or to be heckled, but when the noise is so close, it is a little difficult to hear oneself think. One expects an element of quiet—perhaps it comes with being a schoolteacher. The hon. Member for Scunthorpe (Nic Dakin) , my neighbo...	12 Feb 2014	NO
Housing associations say that tens of millions of pounds are likely to be lost through the build-up of arrears. Reports this morning estimate that 144,000 people have fallen behind with their rents since the introduction of the bedroom tax and that 14% have received eviction notices. Was that really meant to happen? Was this eviction of the poor really the plan of the Government? In October, resea...	12 Feb 2014	AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 125 agreed to.	10 Feb 2014	AYE
We can debate whether we should replace the words “smoking in cars” with the words “smoking in enclosed public places”. However, the arguments that are made by Government Members are all too often the wrong arguments and they are being left behind by society, which wants us to move again. That is why I support the Lords amendments. Protecting children is one of the most important responsibilities ...	10 Feb 2014	AYE
My hon. Friend the Member for North Swindon (Justin Tomlinson) talked about how people can set up their own business, and how that is a real engine for social mobility, and how this Government are helping people through the new enterprise allowance. Under us, businesses are setting up at the rate of 2,000 a month. That is what we want—young people setting up in business, older people and women set...	5 Feb 2014	AYE
“Patients requiring elective care will have the right, in law, to choose from any provider who meets NHS standards of quality at NHS costs”. If I am right, that is called “any qualified provider” or “any willing provider”, which is exactly what this Government have pursued. Labour’s rewriting of history is breathtaking. “pursuit of targets and financial balance at the expense of quality of care.” ...	5 Feb 2014	AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 112 disagreed to.	4 Feb 2014	NO
against them could not possibly result in a conviction at trial. That means that the evidence against a person is so undermined that no conviction could be based on it. “a failure of the trial process”. The burden is not on the defendant to prove that they were innocent. In R (AH) v. the Secretary of State for Justice, the divisional court ruled that a miscarriage of justice occurs where an indivi...	4 Feb 2014	NO

Under the previous Government, we had an approach that decided that Whitehall and the Secretary of State knew best. We had centrally driven initiatives, such as the national strategies, that included chunking and told teachers how they should teach. Rather than empowering teachers, they deskilled them. As the shadow Work and Pensions Secretary has said, that led to shocking levels of English and M...	29 Jan 2014	AYE
“showed me his gardens, which are for variety of evergreens, and hedge of holly, the finest things I ever saw in my life.” Motion lapsed ( Standing Order No. 9(3) ). Motion made, and Question proposed, That this House do now adjourn.— (Mr Evennett .) The Olympia was constructed from 1844 to 1846 and remains on site today. Let me return to Sayes court. When John Evelyn moved out in 1694, it was ren...	22 Jan 2014	NO
I shall try to be at least as economical as the hon. Member for Caerphilly (Wayne David) . The Commission’s programme is a fascinating and important one. The modest motion before us asks only that we take note of the document and regard it as “a useful tool” for looking at that programme, so I am happy to support it. I thank the hon. Member for his succinctness. I had better make this my applicati...	22 Jan 2014	AYE
