Question accordingly negatived. I have been advised that hon. Members seek a Division on amendment 16. On amendments 15 and 16. There cannot be a Division on amendment 15 because it is in a different group and has not been moved.	11 Mar 2009	AYE
Amendment 14, in schedule 2, page 23, line 26, leave out subparagraph (3). As a London Member of Parliament, I agree with the right hon. Member for Greenwich and Woolwich (Mr. Raynsford) about the importance of Crossrail to the London economy; I am conscious that it will have real and considerable benefits, and I am anxious to ensure that we do not impede its progress. However, there are differenc...	11 Mar 2009	AYE
1. Paragraphs 4 and 5 shall be omitted. 2. Proceedings on consideration shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion three hours after the commencement of proceedings on the motion for this Order. 3. Proceedings on Third Reading shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion four hours after the commencement of proceedings on the motion for this Orde...	11 Mar 2009	NO
So that the general public can understand what is happening in the debate, will the Minister say whether he agrees with my analysis of the conciliation process—that a stalemate is likely and that the matter will go back to the Commission, where it will remain beyond the life of the Commission? Does the Minister anticipate a result before the European elections? We will know one way or the other wh...	10 Mar 2009	AYE
I accept the point of my hon. Friend the Member for Halton (Derek Twigg) about the £2 billion, because that is essential to keep Jobcentre Plus going and working effectively. I also take his point—not least because we recently announced the Houghton report—about the role of local government of all political persuasions in working with its local communities to do everything possible for local labou...	10 Mar 2009	AYE
If the Secretary of State wants to agree to it, it may not have to go to a vote; otherwise, I will press it. I fear that I will have to disappoint the hon. Member for Wellingborough (Mr. Bone) . I hate also to disappoint the hon. Member for Aldridge-Brownhills (Mr. Shepherd) . I made my argument today in sorrow, not in anger. Why cannot the Secretary of State accept the validity of the points that...	4 Mar 2009	AYE
I was reassured by the statement of the Deputy Leader of the House on the record that notwithstanding anything that may be before the House this evening, the duties, powers and responsibilities of the Committee on Standards and Privileges or the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards are not affected. It was enormously helpful to have that on the record, endorsed by my hon. Friend the Member for...	3 Mar 2009	AYE

"A company has a relevant non-lending relationship if— (a) the company stands, or has stood, in the position of a creditor or debtor in relation to a money debt, (b) the money debt did not arise from a transaction for the lending of money...and (c) the money debt is one of the kinds mentioned in subsection (2)." We then go through five other subsections to clause 479 to try to wrestle with the com...	3 Mar 2009	NO

That is exactly what I intend to elaborate on, by explaining how the statutory guidance that we wish to provide, which will flow from the national strategy for adults with autism, will address key issues at local level without creating the risk of rigidity, inflexibility and inability to deliver change that might be unintended consequences of other measures. Will the Minister explain how the statu...	27 Feb 2009	AYE
The First Deputy Chairman of Ways and Means took the Chair as Deputy Speaker ( Standing Order No. 3 ). I beg to move, That the House sit in private. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 163 ).	27 Feb 2009	NO
The hon. Member for Bournemouth, East (Mr. Ellwood) stood up for his constituency by calling for more resources for Dorset, and I now turn to that point. The resources provided to Dorset police authority have gone up by 47 per cent. since 1997, which is a 12 per cent. increase in real terms. I will come to this morning's report in The Times in a moment, but police numbers in the hon. Gentleman's a...	24 Feb 2009	AYE
Like the majority of my constituents who live along the boundary fence at Heathrow, and like my local borough council, I support the building of another runway at Heathrow. However, as you will rightly remind me if I carry on in this vein, Madam Deputy Speaker, this is not yet another debate about Heathrow, so I shall avoid that subject for the moment; there will be plenty more opportunities. I op...	24 Feb 2009	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added.	11 Feb 2009	NO
Will my hon. Friend give way? I have only two or three minutes before the guillotine falls. I want to be as brutally honest as the right hon. and learned Member for Rushcliffe. We do have problems discussing this issue in the Labour party: there is clearly a difference of opinion, and it would be wrong for us not to reflect that by debating the issue. However, I do not think that an Opposition day...	11 Feb 2009	AYE
I will give way, but I am conscious of time and have a lot of points to cover. Given that the hon. Gentleman was not here for the rest of the debate, I hope that he will be very brief. I am grateful to the Minister. He knows that I am very fond of him and of Hartlepool, and that when I was a Minister, we spent a great deal of money on Hartlepool. One problem that we had when I was a Housing Minist...	11 Feb 2009	AYE
(2) The register shall be maintained by the Commission in such form as they may determine and shall contain, in the case of each such notice, all the information contained in the notice as it has effect for the time being in accordance with paragraph 18.

Amendment 21, page 23, line 11, leave out 'paragraph 1(5)' and insert 'paragraph 1A'. Amendment 22, page 23, line 15, leave out from 'which' to end of line 23 and insert 'an order under paragraph 3— (i) was applied for; (ii) was made.' . — (Mr. Wills.) Amendment proposed: 74, page 25, line 22, leave out 'a county court' and insert 'the High Court.'— (Mr. Djanogly.)	9 Feb 2009	AYE

If ever we saw a sign that the Conservative party is not ready for government, it is in the motion that it put before us tonight. What does it offer? Delay, indecision and more consideration. Just remember—the Conservatives used to accuse us of being obsessed with reviews. What do we have from them now? We have, "Let's have a review, let's put off the difficult decision." British business and the ...	28 Jan 2009	AYE

I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, and Mr. Speaker for giving me the opportunity this evening to raise this issue, which is of great importance to my constituents. "the link between healthcare spending and health outcomes", "Recent developments in circulatory drug therapy (especially statins) are acknowledged to be highly cost effective", but we do not make full use of them. Our death rates from car...	21 Jan 2009	NO

The hon. Gentleman also made a point about pension credit, and I think he talked about the 7 per cent. rate. We have not assumed a 7 per cent. interest rate, if I heard him correctly on this matter. Pension credit rules are more generous than those of the previous minimum income guarantee, and they assume a notional rate of income at a rate of £1 for every £500 or part of £500 savings held above t...	21 Jan 2009	AYE
I shall concentrate on the specific points that have been made, but if I do not have time to respond to all of them, I shall endeavour to write to hon. Members. I shall give way to the hon. Gentleman, particularly as his former colleague, the hon. Member for Hemel Hempstead, would not. Absolutely. The hon. Gentleman has pointed to the inherent contradiction in the Conservatives' policy: they say t...	21 Jan 2009	AYE
Such an approach enables the EU and the UK to achieve our international and domestic objectives, increasing security and prosperity for EU member states' citizens, as well as those of Russia. The murder of Alexander Litvinenko was mentioned. It was a chilling crime, which placed thousands of innocent residents and visitors at risk. The courts here have issued a warrant for the arrest of Andrei Lug...	20 Jan 2009	NO
I want to refer briefly to the comments made by the hon. Member for Taunton (Mr. Browne) . I agree with him that it is disappointing that there has been an increase in the level of irregularities. The figures that he quotes mostly relate to the fact that there is a larger EU following the accession of Bulgaria and Romania. Overall, the levels of fraud that were found by the European Court of Audit...	20 Jan 2009	NO
