Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. As a result of the Government’s actions, the richest pay more tax on capital gains, more stamp duty on their homes, more tax on their pension contributions, and more on income tax. As the Institute for Fiscal Studies has confirmed, the rich are now paying a higher percentage of income tax than at any time under the previous Administration. Given our measures to boost ...	12 Mar 2013	NO
My hon. Friend makes a good point. The contents of the entire Bill show how the Government have already resisted the attempts of many in the banking lobby. Several hon. Members talked about RBS. The Government believe that RBS’s future is as a major UK bank with the majority of its businesses in the UK as regards personal, SME and corporate banking. United Kingdom Financial Investments Ltd continu...	11 Mar 2013	AYE
Will my hon. Friend give way? I was about to finish, but I will give way. Does my hon. Friend agree that it is a rule of law that if the Government are not able to defend an action and the evidence they are not able to put into court goes to the heart of the case, thus making the case unfair, they have the right to apply to strike the case out? If a case is untriable, the Government are able to st...	7 Mar 2013	AYE

not been debated at all because we have not had time to do so. Is that not a reason for allowing renewal after a short time? Now that the Minister is talking about engaging Parliament and now that his right hon. and learned Friend the Minister without Portfolio is back in his place, is it not a good moment to address the idea that Parliament should be engaged by ensuring that the reviewer who can ...	4 Mar 2013	NO
Amendment 43, page 5, line 5, leave out ‘(whether or not the Secretary of State)’. Amendment 44, page 5, line 11, leave out ‘person concerned’ and insert ‘party’.

People have been shocked by the stories they have heard. A constituent of mine, a young man I have known since he was a child, went to Pakistan to work in a hospital voluntarily because he is a doctor. He was picked up by the Pakistani authorities and tortured for six weeks. He was then interrogated by British intelligence officers, after torture. That is unacceptable. He is now in such a state th...	4 Mar 2013	NO

Question accordingly negatived. More than three hours having elapsed since the commencement of proceedings on the programme motion, the proceedings were interrupted (Programme Order , this day ). The Deputy Speaker put forthwith the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time ( Standing Order No. 83E ). Amendment proposed : 3, page 5, line 18, at end insert—	26 Feb 2013	NO
The hon. Gentleman makes an important point. The Competition Commission was very clear that innovation could be stifled by the potential anti-competitive practices in the sector, so it absolutely follows that encouraging innovation by ensuring that no anti-competitive practices are going on will allow consumers ultimately to get a better deal, and that is in their interests. A few red herrings wer...	26 Feb 2013	NO
child care industry also support our proposals. I admit that not everyone is supportive. I can only say that we are giving people the opportunity to offer more places, it is not compulsory, and it is certainly not something that we will allow providers who do not invest in high quality to do. We will also allow good nurseries who hire high-quality staff to have more flexibility and to expand, agai...	13 Feb 2013	AYE
A number of Members have highlighted the lack of an active criminal investigation. When pressed on this yesterday by my colleague, the shadow Secretary of State, the Secretary of State said that “she went on and on about the police”.—[ Official Report , 11 February 2013; Vol. 558, c. 613 .] Really? Does the Secretary of State really think that such a patronising and condescending manner is the way...	12 Feb 2013	NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Bill read a Second time. On a point of order, Mr Speaker. On the Floor of the House today, we heard many times that the Bill should be committed to a Committee of the whole House. The Minister was asked whether that was possible, and he gave his reasons why he believed not. For clarification, Mr Speaker, and before we vote on the programme motion, is it possible to ...	5 Feb 2013	AYE
Labour introduced civil partnerships legislation in 2004 and since then, in a very short period, they have become widely and readily accepted. It has quickly become time to finish what was started then and I am very pleased that we are making progress with this Bill today. It is clear that there are concerns relating to detailed aspects of the Bill and it is, of course, right that they should be e...	5 Feb 2013	NO

Twenty-seven months ago, in October 2010, I tabled an amendment that said that the boundary changes were being rushed through and should be postponed until the next Parliament. I was right then and I am right now. Hon. Members agree that this is a serious issue, and that we should look to try to have more equal constituencies, but the logic that has been followed does not do that. We need common-s...	29 Jan 2013	AYE
“In the case of Ministers of Religion and other jobs which exist to promote and represent religion, the Bill recognises that a church may need to impose requirements regarding sexual orientation, sex, marriage and civil partnership or gender reassignment if it is necessary to comply with its teachings or the strongly held beliefs of followers.” I believe the Act already provides safeguards against...	29 Jan 2013	AYE
The new legislation that we are seeking to agree will have no effect on the validity of the marriage, but it means that the person will be removed from the succession. That matters because throughout the whole history of English Parliaments, Scottish Parliaments and Irish Parliaments, the succession has always been determined by Parliament, not the monarch. Parliament decided what should happen at...	28 Jan 2013	AYE
That is absolutely correct. That clarification was right; the amendments are within the scope of the Bill. I have no intention of disputing your ruling, Mr Deputy Speaker, and that was not the intention of my comments. I merely wanted to say that this Bill has never had the intention of addressing the religion of the monarch or indeed of those in the line of succession. I thank the hon. Gentleman ...	28 Jan 2013	NO

My hon. Friends raised a number of equally important points. My hon. Friend the Member for Meon Valley (George Hollingbery) talked about the barriers to investment in the private rented sector and drew attention to concerns about the impact of new regulation. My hon. Friend the Member for Rugby (Mark Pawsey) , who is an active member of the Communities and Local Government Committee, reminded us o...	23 Jan 2013	NO

Question accordingly negatived. It being after nine o’clock, the Chairman put forthwith the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that time (Programme Order, 8 January ). Question put (single Question on successive provisions of the Bill), That clauses 1 to 3 stand part of the Bill; and that the schedule be the schedule to the Bill.	21 Jan 2013	AYE
As the Minister knows very well, my question was this: what are his figures on absolute poverty? The hon. Lady will know perfectly well that the Labour Government never forecast poverty rates. She was a Work and Pensions Minister with—if I remember rightly—responsibility for child poverty, and never once forecast poverty rates, but in opposition she suddenly believes that this Government should do...	21 Jan 2013	NO
I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Southend West (Mr Amess) for securing this debate on such an important subject, and I pay tribute to him and my hon. Friend the Member for Enfield, Southgate (Mr Burrowes) for consistently championing the cause of human rights in Iran. As my hon. Friend the Member for Enfield, Southgate has just said, one of the most striking and appalling aspects of ...	16 Jan 2013	AYE
We could have carried on with Warm Front and the status quo, but it would have taken us over 80 years. In fact, we may never have got there because over the past five years, despite the amount of money that Labour threw at the problem, fuel poverty was going up. We need a transformation in the way we deliver fuel poverty solutions, as well as delivering more investment. The green deal and the ECO ...	16 Jan 2013	NO
