Before I do so, I should like to reaffirm the importance that we place on family doctors. The relationship between a patient and their local GP is one of the most important features of the NHS. As Nye Bevan said, "The family doctor is in many ways the most important person in the Service." Will my hon. Friend give way? I will not, because I have only a few minutes to respond. The Opposition Front-...	23 Apr 2008	AYE
And the Petitioners remain, etc. Motion made, and Question proposed, That this House do now adjourn. —[Mr. Michael Foster.] Whereas approval for generic drugs is the responsibility of each member state, the European Medicines Agency, or EMEA, is responsible for approving biosimilar drugs throughout the European Union.

It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Wimbledon (Stephen Hammond) , a fellow London MP. We enjoy excellent bus services in this great capital city, courtesy of TFL and on behalf of Mayor Livingstone and the citizens of London, in contrast to the various bus experiences that we have heard from hon. Members from different parts of the country. Will my hon. Friend give way? If my hon. Friend...	26 Mar 2008	AYE

The right hon. and learned Gentleman gave his reasons for wanting an inquiry, and they were pretty clear. My hon. and learned Friend the Member for Medway (Mr. Marshall-Andrews) supported the case for an inquiry. He said that he does not want to learn lessons so that mistakes are not repeated. He said that he wanted to look at those responsible, and he wanted to ensure that they were brought to bo...	25 Mar 2008	AYE

A month of preparation, a month in gestation, a month of research, and that is all that the hon. Gentleman could come up with. The fact is that the great democracy of Germany and its centre-right Government are endorsing the treaty, the French Parliament has already ratified it, and the new Spanish Government are committed to it. I was enthralled by my hon. Friend's list of supporters of the Conse...	11 Mar 2008	NO

No one should leave the House saying that the European Scrutiny Committee did not consider the matter right to the end, including the question of a referendum. We took our job seriously, and I believe that those who have participated in the past 11 days of this debate have taken it seriously, too. The hon. Gentleman is recorded as having voted against a referendum nine times in the Committee. I un...	5 Mar 2008	AYE

Division 116	4 Mar 2008	NO
Question proposed, That the clause stand part of the Bill. I am delighted to rise in support of clause 4. It does not so much "secure for the workers by hand or by brain", but it does secure increased powers for the European Parliament. Although that may be one and the same thing. [ Laughter. ] Clause 4 fulfils the statutory requirement that any increases in the powers of the European Parliament m...	3 Mar 2008	NO
As I said earlier, what really astounds me in all this is the lack of transparency that taints this clause. I can do no better than to quote from the agreed conclusions of the European Scrutiny Committee—which is chaired by the hon. Gentleman—on the way in which the process had been tainted. It states in, I think, its most recent report, the third one of this Session, that "we reiterate our earlie...	3 Mar 2008	NO
My hon. Friend makes a very important point, as always. Do the Government have any plans to publish that, and if not, why not? I am delighted, and modestly surprised, to be responding to this debate so early in our proceedings, but glad that I have prepared a couple of hours in response. I am not sure whether the amendments tabled by the hon. Member for Stone (Mr. Cash) were intended to wreck the ...	3 Mar 2008	AYE
The hon. Gentleman makes an assertion in respect of section 2(2), rather than section 1(2) of the 1972 Act. If the hon. Gentleman will allow me to make a little progress and if time allows and the Committee's patience bears it, I will, of course, give way to him if he so wishes. This reflects the powers and definitions in the general provisions in section 1(2) of the 1972 Act, contrary to the hon....	3 Mar 2008	AYE
I shall speak very briefly. We should be quite clear about what is happening here. This legislation is being guillotined, not programmed. It is being cut short in a most brutal and unhelpful manner. Presumably, that is happening because we are frightened of debating in this Chamber every massive change to the way in which we organise our affairs. The House of Commons has always been jealous of its...	3 Mar 2008	NO
Order. I reminded the hon. Gentleman during his own contribution that the debate on qualified majority voting is tomorrow. I know that the Minister has made some reference to it. I hope that he will make a brief comment at most, and then we can move on. Of course, as usual, I will abide by your strictures, Mrs. Heal, and we may, of course, have the opportunity to debate that in tomorrow's proceedi...	3 Mar 2008	AYE

Order. Perhaps the Minister will now address his remarks to the amendment and the treaty. I take your instruction, Madam Deputy Speaker. I was just getting to the partnership between the Conservative party and the Czech President, but I will pass on that. Greenhouse gases in this country have gone down since 1997 by 7 per cent.
