Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 19 4 disagreed to .	17 Apr 2012	AYE
I agree with much of what has been said about the Government’s change of heart on the definition of domestic violence. I pay tribute to my hon. Friends the Members for South Swindon (Mr Buckland) and for Maidstone and The Weald (Mrs Grant), and I congratulate the Secretary of State on changing the definition to include the ACPO definition, as was urged upon him by Opposition Members, one of whom i...	17 Apr 2012	AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 1 disagreed to.	17 Apr 2012	AYE
We know from our own experience as Members of Parliament that many of our constituents insist on coming to see us in our offices and working face to face, because that is how they can best get across their grievances. Why are the Government insisting on denying people the right to see somebody face to face? The right hon. Gentleman’s points go more to scope, which is not the subject of this debate...	17 Apr 2012	AYE
That leave be given to bring in a Bill to make provision to introduce leave, pay and allowance arrangements for parents of children born to surrogate mothers equal to those available to parents whose children are born to them; and for connected purposes. Today is the day when I hope the House will take the first step to closing this legal loophole. I am grateful for the support that I have had fro...	17 Apr 2012	AYE

Consideration and Third Reading 6. Proceedings on Consideration and on Third Reading shall be completed in two days. 7. Standing Order No. 83B (Programming committees) shall not apply to proceedings on Consideration and Third Reading .—(Angela Watkinson .) Question agreed to. Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 41A( 3 ) ),	16 Apr 2012	AYE
There is one tax increase that Labour has supported: the increase in the additional rate of income tax to 50p, which the hon. Member for Pontypridd (Owen Smith) spent so much time on. What is the effect of the 50p rate? We have the assessment of HMRC. What has the 50p rate achieved? More people work overseas; total income has fallen by between £2.9 billion and £4.4 billion; and GDP is between 0.2%...	16 Apr 2012	AYE

(i) removing certain reliefs from excise duty for black beer, (j) removing certain reliefs from excise duty for angostura bitters, and (k) removing tax relief on interest from tax reserve certificates. That it is expedient to authorise any incidental or consequential charges to any duty or tax (including charges having retrospective effect) that may arise from provisions designed in general to aff...	26 Mar 2012	AYE
(1) In section 14E of the Hydrocarbon Oil Duties Act 1979 (rebated heavy oil and bioblend: private pleasure craft), after subsection (7) insert— “(7A) A relevant declaration must include an acknowledgement that nothing in this section or done under it (including the making of the declaration) affects any restriction or prohibition under the law of a member State other than the United Kingdom on th...	26 Mar 2012	AYE
(2) For the purposes of Part 3 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010, for that year— (a) the standard fraction is 1/100ths, and (b) the ring fence fraction is 11/400ths. (3) In paragraph (1) “ring fence profits” has the same meaning as in Part 8 of that Act (see section 276 of that Act). Question put,	26 Mar 2012	AYE
Order. There is so much noise that I am not sure the Chief Secretary can even hear that his right hon. Friend the Member for Haltemprice and Howden (Mr Davis) is seeking to intervene. Perhaps he can hear and does not want to give way, but if he cannot hear, he is not able to give way. You are quite right, Mr Speaker. I could not hear my right hon. Friend, but I am happy to give way to him. My righ...	26 Mar 2012	AYE
Does my hon. Friend agree that part of the problem is that such a complex piece of legislation is before the House? The Government’s thinking was not developed in the early stages, and the Conservatives’ coalition partners have contributed nothing throughout our scrutiny in Committee. That is why, at this late stage, the Opposition are still left trying to amend and improve the Bill. Does my hon. ...	20 Mar 2012	AYE
I am reassured by what the Minister has said, and I urge Government Members to support the Government. I rise to support the amendment and to speak against anything that will allow 49% of the capacity of our local hospitals to be used for private patients. The Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Act 2003 placed a cap on the level of income that a foundation trust could earn fro...	20 Mar 2012	NO
Given that the Opposition have tabled a bad amendment, and given the renewed focus on a commitment to integrated care for the benefit of older patients and people with mental health problems, I believe that we should support the Government this evening. I support the amendment relating to Monitor and NHS foundation trusts. The Government seek to amend the Bill to allow— [Interruption.] Order. I th...	20 Mar 2012	NO
That this House has considered the matter of whether the House should defer consideration of Lords Amendments to the Health and Social Care Bill until after disclosure of the NHS transitional risk register. Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 118(6) ), That the draft Public Bodies (Abolition of the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) Order 2012, which ...	20 Mar 2012	AYE
He sat there last Tuesday saying, “No, we are in favour of £20 billion of efficiencies”, yet he is wandering all around the country with his hon. Friends saying, “No, it is £20 billion of cuts.” Frankly, Mr Speaker, if I recall correctly, that is what you would have me describe as an erroneous view. In the past few minutes, we have seen a perfect demonstration at the Dispatch Box of why the right ...	20 Mar 2012	AYE
Amendment (a) to Lords amendment 49 would establish a rapporteur on human trafficking, as is explicitly required by the European directive. The argument for that was best made by the hon. Member for Wellingborough (Mr Bone) in a debate in Westminster Hall, when he pointed out: “One of the problems surrounding human trafficking is the lack of reliable information and data analysis permitting us to ...	19 Mar 2012	NO
I am grateful to the right hon. Lady for that assurance, which I take to be an invitation to write to her. I had another seven or eight questions, but I shall not labour the House with them this evening. Before I sit down and allow others to take the matter further, may I once more express my sincere gratitude to all the parliamentarians who took part in the research work? I think this may be the ...	19 Mar 2012	NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Motion made, and Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 118(6) ),	19 Mar 2012	AYE
That is not just my opinion; it is the considered opinion of the Information Commissioner, who has had the benefit of viewing the transition risk register. He ruled that “disclosure would go somewhat further in helping the public to better understand the risks associated with the modernisation of the NHS than any information that has previously been published.” This is the last opportunity for thi...	19 Mar 2012	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Clause 2 ordered to stand part of the Bill.	14 Mar 2012	NO
I thank Madam Chairman—my hon. Friend—for putting that on the record. I am delighted that the Opposition Front Benchers support what the Bill seeks to do for bill payers in Devon and Cornwall and that they have chosen not to oppose it in any way. I do not think that the case is proven that either amendment 1 or new clause 1 will make a huge difference or improve the Bill significantly, but they do...	14 Mar 2012	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Main Question put.	13 Mar 2012	NO
I was delighted to listen to the speech of the right hon. Member for South Shields (David Miliband) . As I listened to it, and to the speech of the right hon. Member for Leigh (Andy Burnham) , I reflected on how odd changes in political fortunes are. Those two were the über-Blair reformers, but it was clear from their speeches—both thoughtful in their different ways—that they had turned away from ...	13 Mar 2012	NO
All those cases are the subject of ongoing live investigations, and it would therefore be inappropriate for me to comment further. However, I note the valuable role that the PSNI and the HET play in helping bereaved families find justice. We remain strong supporters of the HET. Both my right hon. Friends the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland have on many occasions high...	7 Mar 2012	AYE
Will the Minister give way? No, I shall not, as I have already said. According to the shadow Chancellor, who, as ever, cannot be quiet, low interest rates are a sign of trouble. He would rather have higher interest rates, a bigger squeeze on families and an even bigger fall in living standards. Tackling the deficit in a fair way means that we have to ensure that tax credits are targeted at our poo...	5 Mar 2012	NO
My hon. Friend the Member for Sittingbourne and Sheppey (Gordon Henderson) made a great speech. He was right to point to the falling costs of wind energy and its future as a reliable source. He was also right to remind us that home-produced renewables not only help us to meet our carbon targets, but add to the UK’s energy security by reducing our exposure to fluctuating international fossil fuel p...	5 Mar 2012	NO
