Division 55 16 Jul 2012 NO
Meaning: pay staff less in the south-west. I have made it clear, as the Minister of State, Department of Health, my right hon. Friend the Member for Chelmsford (Mr Burns) has, that we are not proposing any reductions in pay as a consequence. I do not believe they are necessary or desirable in achieving the efficiency challenge. I have a simple question for the Secretary of State. Is he therefore o... 16 Jul 2012 NO
I would be very happy to elect them. The public say that they do not like the way in which peers are currently selected. That is the top thing they do not like about our political system. Whenever people are asked in polls, the overwhelming majority want to elect a significant number of Members of the other place. No, the right hon. Gentleman did not leave me any time to take interventions, so I a... 10 Jul 2012 NO

The project may be some way off, but our constituents—mine and others across the conurbation—will not forgive us if we do not highlight today the impact that it could have. If it damages our area, our constituents would rightly not forgive those of us sent to this place to stand up for the interests of the areas that we serve. It is a pleasure to follow my hon. Friends the Members for Bournemouth ... 4 Jul 2012 AYE
No, I am not going to take any more interventions; the hon. Gentleman can sit down. We should be seeing the investment from the bank bonus tax and a temporary cut in VAT. The Bill— [Interruption.] Order. Please—I cannot hear Mr Esterson speak. The Bill does nothing to help grow the economy or get us out of the problems we face. The House should vote against it. Question put, That the Bill be now r... 3 Jul 2012 AYE
“Group 6” means Group 6 of Part 2 of Schedule 8 to VATA 1994 (protected buildings); “relevant consent” means— (a) in the case of an ecclesiastical building to which section 60 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 applies, consent for the approved alterations by a competent body with the authority to approve alterations to such buildings, or(b) in any other case, conse... 3 Jul 2012 AYE
The Exchequer impact is also in question. The Exchequer says that the measure will raise money, but the Self Storage Association’s brief states: “In its calculations the Government has not taken into account the significant reclaim of VAT under the CGS rules, which Deloitte have calculated to be £43m based on the detailed results of their survey…According to Deloitte many operators, particularly t... 3 Jul 2012 NO
I will have to bring the Back-Bench speeches to an end at 19 minutes past, so there are three minutes left. I strongly support the brilliant speeches of my hon. Friends the Members for Kilmarnock and Loudoun (Cathy Jamieson) and for Bishop Auckland (Helen Goodman). There are clearly qualms on the Conservative Benches about this disastrous policy. The hon. Member for Mid Bedfordshire (Nadine Dorrie... 2 Jul 2012 NO
Question accordingly negatived. The Deputy Speaker then put forthwith the Question necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time ( Standing Order No. 83E ). Amendment proposed: 23, page 2, line 36, leave out clause 4.—(Rachel Reeves.) 2 Jul 2012 NO
To be fair, that is not what my hon. Friend said, although I did not agree with everything that he did say on that issue. I shall take this opportunity to say a word or so about avoidance, because the Government are keen to address that. Before I do that, I give way to my hon. Friend. I am a Government Back Bencher who is not massively enthusiastic about the reduction in the top rate; I think that... 2 Jul 2012 NO

As I mentioned, there is existing overcapacity in the refining industry in the UK and Europe, and the declining My hon. Friend asked whether there should be a parliamentary inquiry, but that is a matter for the relevant Select Committee. Given the work that we are doing on developing a long-term strategic approach, I would welcome an investigation that would take that approach into account, and we... 27 Jun 2012 AYE
My hon. Friend the Member for Caerphilly said that, in the previous Parliament when we introduced individual registration, there was consensus on the timetable, and it is more important to get the measure right and to make the register comprehensive than it is to do what the Conservative party in the coalition is doing, which is to make it more difficult to create an accurate register, meaning tha... 27 Jun 2012 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. The Chair then put forthwith the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time ( Standing Order No. 83D ). Clauses 22 to 24 ordered to stand part of the Bill. 27 Jun 2012 NO
at separate times when they could be doubled up. There is therefore much sense in holding elections at the same time. In some polling stations there had been queues at other times of the day, but by about 9 o’clock—and certainly by 9.15 or 9.30—there were serious issues. One extra staff member was deployed at the Ann Tayler centre at 9 pm, where there were particular problems, but, a whole hour be... 27 Jun 2012 NO
He particularly says: “I would welcome a discussion with you on how we can ensure that everything we do in Parliament emphasises our cross-party support for the Armed Forces and the people who serve in them.” In conclusion— claimed to move the closure ( Standing Order No. 36 ). Question put forthwith, That the Question be now put. 26 Jun 2012 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added. 26 Jun 2012 AYE
I welcome the support of the hon. Member for Leicester West (Liz Kendall) for the single exam board proposal and wholeheartedly congratulate New College school on its transformation, and on the “yes you can, yes you will” ethos. My hon. Friend the Member for East Hampshire (Damian Hinds) raised concerns about grade inflation, early entry for GCSE, re-sits and modularisation, and rightly pointed ou... 26 Jun 2012 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed: 18, page 31, line 6, leave out ‘first’ and insert ‘second’.— ( Wayne David.) 25 Jun 2012 NO
the boundaries? Can he see any reason why Liberal Democrats in particular should vote for it, given that it would be one of those rare occasions when turkeys vote for Christmas? We all saw the terrible riots which scarred English cities last summer. That is all the more reason to ensure that all groups in our society are effectively represented on our juries. The last thing we want is an electoral... 25 Jun 2012 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added. 20 Jun 2012 AYE
Will the Minister explain at what level market-facing pay would be set for a police officer? The motion rests on a misrepresentation of the notion of regional or local, and the hon. Lady is attempting a second misrepresentation by bringing police officers in at this point, when the debate ought to be about the NHS and teachers, and the civil service where it is under the control of central Governm... 20 Jun 2012 NO
I always think it is faintly amusing that when we talk about disabled people in this House, Cabinet Ministers often find more time to talk among themselves—as some of them are doing now on the Treasury Bench—than to listen to the debate. I hope the Minister replying to this debate will recognise that this is a sensible motion that is looking for consensus, and that he will respond in keeping with ... 20 Jun 2012 NO
Amendment proposed : 9, page 4, line 13, at end insert— ‘(5A) All higher and further education institutions must cooperate with local officers in providing a comprehensive list of students in all forms of residential accommodation. (5B) Such lists must be provided at the start of each academic year. (5C) Local authority officers must write individually to all students with an electoral registratio... 18 Jun 2012 NO
It is a pleasure finally to partake of the Committee stage of the Bill and of your chairmanship, Mr Amess. I will give way briefly to the hon. Gentleman, but I will not give way many times. It is slightly disingenuous of the hon. Gentleman to suggest that Northern Ireland is exactly the same as everywhere in Great Britain, given the threat that there was in 2002 to local authority canvassers, part... 18 Jun 2012 NO
I gave the hon. Lady a lot of latitude to correct the record, but she needs to do that only once. My hon. Friend has corrected the record and put the matter straight. I heard the hon. Member for Penistone and Stocksbridge (Angela Smith) talking from a sedentary position, so let me say that we are working very closely with the Electoral Commission on this matter. It is represented on the programme ... 18 Jun 2012 NO
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 62(2) ), That the Bill be now read a Second time. 11 Jun 2012 AYE
On the measures we are proposing on settlement agreements, the all-party group on micro businesses, in its response to the call for evidence on compensated no-fault dismissal, for which I am extremely grateful, supported the idea that employers should have the option of using “a new simpler route to end employment relationships”. The all-party group states that in return for compensation employers... 11 Jun 2012 NO
