Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added.	21 Jan 2014	AYE
We received more than 1,100 written responses and more than 7,000 responses to the online questionnaire. One of those responses was 2,000 pages long, so the “demonstrates a high level of acrimony within the industry and is littered with claims and counter-claims”, which just shows that it is important to make sure that we get this right. The breadth and depth of views expressed in the Chamber toda...	21 Jan 2014	NO

I thought that the hon. Member for Corby (Andy Sawford) was very fair in his remarks about enforcement in his constituency. There is clearly more to come and I heard what he said about the new penalty figures and the penalties that have been levied. I am sure that my colleagues in BIS will take note of what he said. The hon. Member for Blaydon talked about care workers. As my right hon. Friend the...	15 Jan 2014	NO
Order. This has been a quiet and dignified debate. Members who were not present during it have now come into the Chamber. I ask them to have the courtesy to listen to the Minister. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I do not know whether the Opposition are embarrassed by previous occasions when they claimed more would be paid from a bankers’ bonus tax than was actually paid in bankers’ bonuses. Perh...	15 Jan 2014	NO
‘(1) The Secretary of State must lay before both Houses of Parliament a report on the performance of all providers contracted to provide officers to perform the duties of supervisor or responsible officer as described in this Act after one year of this Act coming into force. (2) The report must include— (a) an assessment of the information made available by each provider to the public, and their a...	14 Jan 2014	NO
I am really pleased that the commission has been set up. The hon. Member for Penrith and The Border (Rory Stewart) is exactly the right man to lead on it, and I ask him to come over the Pennines as quickly as he can. He will be made to feel welcome in the north-east, because people there have lived through this, and although I am telling their story, I can never relate to it in the way they can. T...	14 Jan 2014	NO
The point I am making is that the rules, which pre-existed this Government by the way, are very clear: investigation is not the same thing as Let me make the point, because it has been raised, that all the bidders on our list have experience of either working with offenders or across the wider criminal justice system. This is exactly the broad market that we want to see deliver these services. Bel...	14 Jan 2014	NO
We heard excellent speeches from my hon. Friend the Member for Stone (Mr Cash) , my right hon. Friend the Member for Ross, Skye and Lochaber (Mr Kennedy) , and my hon. Friends the Members for Stroud (Neil Carmichael), for Daventry (Chris Heaton-Harris) and, of course, for North East Somerset. I must say that my hon. Friend the Member for Stone made a fantastic contribution. It was generous to me, ...	13 Jan 2014	AYE

That Labour councillor introduced an article 4 measure with immediate effect to prevent the conversion of more premises from other use classes to that of a betting shop. Let me quote that Labour councillor’s words on the Southwark council website— [ Interruption. ] She is a Labour councillor, and Labour Members might want to listen to her. She knows a lot more about this than they do. Councillor F...	8 Jan 2014	NO
No, I will not take any more interventions. Order. The House should listen to the Minister. The Chairman of the Select Committee also recognised that Labour did not deliver enough houses when in government. As housing Minister, I have had the privilege of meeting mothers from Peckham who have secured a shared ownership home; a right-to-buy couple from Swindon who have now got their own home; a you...	8 Jan 2014	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed: 1, page 3, line 5 , at end insert ‘but shall not be less than 80 per cent of the average civil compensation recovered by mesothelioma claimants.’.—(Tracey Crouch.)	7 Jan 2014	NO
I regret to hear what the Minister is saying. One thing he could do is to change the clawback from 100% to 75%, which would at least give people a little more money. Some things are out of my hands, and such is the legal situation in relation to clawback. I cannot change that through the Bill. It just happens: if someone gets compensation, there is clawback on it at 100% because taxpayers’ money i...	7 Jan 2014	NO
I would like to associate myself with the thoughts and best wishes to the right hon. Member for Wythenshawe and Sale East (Paul Goggins) . He is a good friend. He has been a good friend to the people of Northern Ireland, both as Minister and outside of that role. We respect him greatly and hope he will return to health and strength in a short period of time. In conclusion, it is clear that somethi...	7 Jan 2014	NO
The Minister talks about fair deals between water companies. Is he satisfied with the terms for the supply of water from Wales to Severn Trent, especially given that Severn Trent is apparently selling on 30 million litres of water a day to Anglian Water at commercial rates? Of course, that is happening on the back of Welsh resources. The hon. Gentleman is tempting me to get into the specifics of i...	6 Jan 2014	NO

I thank the Minister for giving way. I think he was somewhat churlish in not acknowledging that many Opposition Members are also extremely grateful to those who work in food banks. When I went to my local church-run food bank, I found that the people there were not political; the one thing they wanted to tell me was how shocked they were that so many of the people coming to them were suffering fro...	18 Dec 2013	NO
Order. The Minister is not giving way. He has limited time, and we will hear him. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. In the longer term, we need to do more to prevent people from ending up in hospital as a result of avoidable crises. As my hon. Friend the Member for St Ives (Andrew George) said, we need to make two big shifts. The first involves a move to a much greater focus on preventing ill healt...	18 Dec 2013	NO
(a) on the basis of whether an authority’s relevant basic amount of council tax for the financial year beginning with 1 April 2013 would have been excessive if that amount for that year and for the immediately preceding financial year had been determined under section 52ZX of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 as amended by this section, (b) on the basis of whether an authority’s relevant basic...	17 Dec 2013	NO
Local authorities often work with residents, community groups and MPs to promote the best interests of residents in matters such as the siting of local health provisions and national infrastructure developments. If the Government’s proposals pass, the Secretary of State could use clause 39 to block such collaboration, ultimately to the detriment of residents. Time and again, the Secretary of State...	17 Dec 2013	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment (b) proposed to Lords amendment 155.—(Cathy Jamieson.)	11 Dec 2013	NO
Indeed, the Minister cited Florida as an example earlier. The panel comes to the conclusion that it strongly calls for the establishment of real-time data sharing and I hope that the Government will listen to that. With the leave of the House, Madam Deputy Speaker. I thank all hon. Members for their contributions. It has been a good debate and a number of important issues have been raised, so I wa...	11 Dec 2013	NO
With respect, I am even more confused than before. What is the point of bringing in an offence that will change the behaviour of bankers, but will not, by itself, defend the banks? As I understand it, if the behaviour that we seek to stop is reckless banking, the reason that it should be criminalised is in order to stop banks failing and the financial system crashing. It is difficult to prove that...	11 Dec 2013	AYE
Let me clarify my point about the employment allowance. From the moment it was announced in the Budget, our immediate critique was not that it should not be introduced —we supported its introduction from the beginning—but to say, as we have continued to say, “Bring it in as soon as possible—why wait?” If there were compelling reasons for the wait, it would be understandable, but I am afraid that I...	10 Dec 2013	NO

Of course, competition for funding remains extremely high and the quality of applications is increasing all the time. For example, in the previous round of Inspired Facilities, Sport England received more than a 1,000 applications for about £55 million of funding when it had only £16.2 million available. If a club is unsuccessful in its application, Sport England offers individual feedback and sup...	4 Dec 2013	AYE

West (Geraint Davies) and for Sefton Central (Bill Esterson), and although I did not agree with much of the contribution from the hon. Member for Rochdale (Simon Danczuk) , it was thoughtful and entertaining in places. My hon. Friend the Member for Enfield North (Nick de Bois) recognised the massive deficit that the Labour party left at the end of their time in government and that the debate was v...	4 Dec 2013	NO
I think the Minister will find that the organisations to which he is referring took the view that something was better than nothing, because nothing was previously on offer. It is stretching the point to suggest that these organisations are endorsing the Government’s approach, because that is far from the truth. The problem the hon. Gentleman has is that fuel poverty went up. It went up in the boo...	4 Dec 2013	NO
