Will my hon. Friend give way? Mr. Deputy Speaker— You have only five minutes. It being one and a half hours after the commencement of proceedings on the motion, Mr. Deputy Speaker put the Question already proposed from the Chair, pursuant to Order [this day]. Question put, That the amendment be made:—	12 Nov 2008	AYE
My right hon. Friend the Member for North-West Hampshire drew attention to the amendments on the Order Paper; there are a number of amendments on the motion on regional Select Committees, including an amendment on whether London should be included. There is a big debate to be had on that, but there is also concern about whether the mover of the amendment will even get the opportunity to be called ...	12 Nov 2008	NO

I certainly regard the hon. Gentleman as a friend for giving way. I was accusing not him of distributing Focuses—they would get lost in his vast constituency—but the hon. Member for Manchester, Withington (Mr. Leech) , who remains absent from this debate, as he has from the entire debate, as we shall make clear in Manchester. I shall remain as free with my remarks as the right hon. Gentleman is wi...	10 Nov 2008	AYE

I respect what my right hon. Friend says; he has significant experience in such matters. As I said, the Government are not convinced that the right way forward is to require the employer to help the union to organise the ballot. A couple of my hon. Friends have tempted me to give undertakings, but I am afraid that I cannot do that this evening. As I said, however, we are always happy to have a dia...	4 Nov 2008	NO
Let me clarify the proposal for the benefit of the hon. Gentleman and my hon. Friend the Member for Broxbourne (Mr. Walker) . The amendment would ensure that the accounts of the reclaim fund listed those who had participated in terms of the amounts that they had transferred, but also listed those who had not participated. In essence, what my hon. Friend the Member for Fareham (Mr. Hoban) is rightl...	3 Nov 2008	AYE
As chair of the all-party group on the community and voluntary sector, and one to whom the sector has been talking loudly on this issue, I very much appreciate the spirit in which my hon. Friend the Minister has tabled this amendment, as he promised that he would following our debate in Committee. He has been as good as his word. I will, if necessary, follow him into the Lobby to support new claus...	3 Nov 2008	NO

"one quality sets London 2012 apart" from the Sydney and other games: "Legacy; an intelligent, strategic approach to the morning after." She was referring to the morning after what will be the greatest games in Olympic memory, which will have benefits for young people and the east end for the rest of our lives. Question put, That the original words stand part of the Question:—	29 Oct 2008	AYE
I am proud to have been part of the process of considering the Bill and I urge the House to give it a Third Reading. I would like to add my welcome to the Bill. It will have an enormous impact on the way in which we order our economy and how the Government work. I am not sure that many people have assimilated that yet. In this place, we are often accused of short-termism; perhaps we are considerin...	28 Oct 2008	AYE
(b) improving the sustainability of the buildings that already form part of the civil estate; and (c) ensuring that any new buildings procured for the civil estate are in the upper quartile of energy performance. (3) Where any new building procured for the civil estate is not in the upper quartile of energy performance, the report must state the reasons why this is the case. (4) A report under thi...	28 Oct 2008	AYE
Government amendment No. 44. The amending provisions in the group concern various reporting obligations on both Government and business. The key issue is the corporate reporting of emissions, which we have, of course, discussed before at various stages of the Bill's passage. Levels of reporting on greenhouse gas emissions in the UK are already high. Many companies currently report their emissions ...	28 Oct 2008	AYE
"That duty is constant...It will weigh on our shoulders for as long as we wish to dwell on a living and thriving planet, and hand it on to our children and theirs." I am a multilateralist. I do not believe that Britain should act alone, but this Bill provides for the Secretary of State to give leadership in our international negotiations and, at all times, to have the flexibility to ensure that ot...	28 Oct 2008	AYE
Division 297	28 Oct 2008	AYE
I stand corrected, Madam Deputy Speaker. I was searching for a form of words that my constituents down the Dog and Duck would think adequately expressed the Government's behaviour, but I suppose it would be best to say that they say one thing and do another. That is the backdrop to the Bill. None the less, I welcome the Government's late conversion to feed-in tariffs, for which the Conservatives h...	28 Oct 2008	AYE
Ninety-nine per cent. of it does. I very much appreciate the 1 per cent. concession that he indicates he was willing to make. As far as climate change is concerned, we need to develop matters in partnership, not least with the bus operators. I am keen that they should play a part in the improvement of emissions as far as buses are concerned. I hope that we will get into serious discussions on that...	27 Oct 2008	NO

(3) Subsection (2) is without prejudice to any right of ...	27 Oct 2008	NO
I think, however, that the Minister has already said that the decision on whether non-elected members should have a vote on the ITA should come up after each local authority election at the very least, so that it could be repeated. Indeed, there was some suggestion that the voting members on the ITA might be able to vote on the rights of non-elected members at any time. That might deal with the pr...	27 Oct 2008	AYE
The hon. Gentleman will be aware that we have already given the traffic commissioner the power relating to the three-month extension, but his suggestion would almost take us into the game of finding a further extension. It is a question of where we draw the line. All the advice that we have received is that the process should be well on the way, if not complete, after nine months. That is why we h...	27 Oct 2008	AYE

That is one of the intentions and we made it clear that we would want to see it happen. Our purpose is to ensure that we get in place the structures and requirements to deliver decent bus services throughout our towns and cities. Having reviewed the provision further, the Welsh Assembly Government have indicated that they wish to preserve the flexibility for the Welsh Ministers to appoint—and henc...	27 Oct 2008	NO
Division 290	27 Oct 2008	AYE
An interesting range of contributions has been made to our discussions about one of the major elements of the Bill. It was interesting that the hon. Member for Wimbledon (Stephen Hammond) started with an attack on the Minister of State, Department for Work and Pensions, my right hon. Friend the Member for Doncaster, Central (Ms Winterton) , who undertook a great range of work in listening carefull...	27 Oct 2008	AYE
I shall certainly address that point and return to the matter of the peer review at a later date. When my predecessor met the hon. Gentleman and my hon. Friend the Member for Norwich, North, he stated clearly that the Department would examine the Rowland research and take expert advice on it, and that has been done. The hon. Gentleman mentioned other countries' payments to their nuclear test veter...	22 Oct 2008	NO
The kaleidoscope of science is coming to a rest. Careful consideration has been given to the Bill in this House and another place, and the new consensus has been captured. If science leads the field and challenges our basic beliefs and ethics— On a point of order, Mr. Speaker.
