An interesting range of contributions has been made to our discussions about one of the major elements of the Bill. It was interesting that the hon. Member for Wimbledon (Stephen Hammond) started with an attack on the Minister of State, Department for Work and Pensions, my right hon. Friend the Member for Doncaster, Central (Ms Winterton) , who undertook a great range of work in listening carefull...	27 Oct 2008	AYE
"(12) Where a child was accommodated by the local authority under this section immediately before being detained, the child shall continue to be deemed a "looked after child" for the purposes of section 23(1)(b) and section 24 of this Act save for the provision of accommodation." (13) In this section "detained" means detained in a remand centre, a young offenders institution or a secure training c...	8 Oct 2008	AYE
Interestingly, new clause 23 touches on some of the same issues, but proposes a more informal approach. It contains some interesting ideas; indeed, I would be rather surprised if something similar were not operating in the best local authorities. I am therefore not convinced that there is a need to legislate at this stage; rather, perhaps new clause 23 sets out some good practice that should be en...	8 Oct 2008	AYE

"if we fail in our endeavours to make the notification scheme work, we will not need to return to the House with primary legislation and we will implement the registration scheme, despite our concerns about whether it will work as well as everyone would like it to."—[ Official Report, Standing Committee B, 21 October 2004 ; c. 289-291.] We believe that local authorities should devise and publish a...	8 Oct 2008	AYE
"that—on average—around 9 per cent. of all statutory instruments transpose EC legislation...I believe this is the correct figure." "has previously researched Mr Farage's claim, made on Today , that this figure is 75 per cent., and found that it is supposedly based on a German government statement, although no-one has actually discovered it. Mark points out, however, that this whole area is a conte...	8 Oct 2008	AYE
What would my hon. Friend say to the former miner whom I met only last Thursday? That former miner may have seen this debate in a crystal ball. He was put out of work in the '80s when the north Staffordshire coal mines were not only completely closed, but filled in with concrete day after day. What would my hon. Friend say to him? He is still embittered about it now. I would say to him that there ...	7 Oct 2008	AYE

All politicians in Northern Ireland have a responsibility to build on the stability that has already been granted through the peace process, and we all have a responsibility to play our part to secure more investment and jobs by completing devolution. That is not to say, however, that families are not feeling the pinch, in Northern Ireland as much as elsewhere. Energy bills, petrol and food are al...	9 Jul 2008	AYE

Question accordingly negatived. It being more than one and half hours after the commencement of proceedings, Mr. Speaker put the remaining Question s necessary to dispose of proceedings on the motions relating to Members' salaries , pursuant to Order [ 1 July ]. Main Question put:—	3 Jul 2008	AYE
Order. I am sorry to cut off the hon. Gentleman, but he has had his eight minutes. Could I just say— Order. I dare say that the House could listen to some speeches for a considerable length of time this afternoon because of their informed and reasoned content, but we are operating under a time limit. If the House did not hear the last remark by my hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth, West (Sir ...	3 Jul 2008	AYE
(2) In section 6 (excise duty on hydrocarbon oil) after subsection (1A) (as substituted by section 11 of this Act) insert— "(1AA) In every Budget Statement and pre-Budget Statement the Chancellor of the Exchequer must provide a forecast for oil prices and set out anticipated yield from fuel duty and VAT on fuel for that price and for a range of prices up to 50 per cent. above his forecast. (1AB) T...	2 Jul 2008	AYE
The hon. Gentleman is talking about stability, so could he say by how much the regulator would bring the price of oil down under new clause 8, if it increased by 5p? The hon. Gentleman and his colleagues have undoubtedly talked in the past about the fuel duty regulator that operates in France. However, if the fuel duty regulator is the panacea for the problems that he is describing, can he explain...	2 Jul 2008	AYE
My remarks on amendments Nos. 89 to 91 apply to some extent to this group of amendments as well. It is better that we have clarification in the guidance than not at all, but it would have been better still if it were in the Bill. However, in this case, the guidance does not render what is in the Bill meaningless or unnecessary, so the Minister can make her case for doing it in guidance if that is ...	2 Jul 2008	AYE
We are not experts in this place—we cannot be. People out there spend their entire lives dealing with tax, and not only that—they may spend their entire lives dealing with one tax, such as capital gains tax or the taxation of overseas domiciled residents. Sometimes, they deal with just a subsection of that subject. If we are to maximise the advantage that we can get from their embedded knowledge, ...	2 Jul 2008	AYE

I made it clear that we were conscious of the fact that 1.1 million people— Households. Several hon. Friends are obviously hoping to offer help at this point. May I add to that point? Am I right in thinking that when my right hon. Friend says that the Treasury is focused, she means that it is focused on introducing a package that fully compensates those who are not yet fully compensated? Yes. I fe...	1 Jul 2008	AYE

My hon. Friend the Member for Stroud (Mr. Drew) talked about educating children about food. I pay tribute to the year of food and farming which has made a huge contribution by bringing thousands of children on to farms so that they understand that food is not produced neatly wrapped in cellophane by supermarkets, but grown and reared on our farms. The hon. Member for Leominster (Bill Wiggin) refer...	30 Jun 2008	AYE
Let us be clear: when there are good environmental or other reasons for saying no to a project—a power station or a wind farm—the answer should be no. That is right and proper. However, we must say yes if we want energy security and if we wish to tackle global warming. That is why the not-in-my-backyard people need to be faced down. I am happy to give way to the eminent Whip. rose in his place and...	30 Jun 2008	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed: No. 300, page 77, line 7, leave out 'the regional development agency for its region' and insert 'a local authority for an area within its region (whether singly or jointly with other local authorities)'.— [Mrs. Lait.]	25 Jun 2008	AYE
I understand that amendments Nos. 340 to 355, tabled in the name of the hon. Member for Sheffield, Attercliffe (Mr. Betts) , have been accepted by the Government. I am therefore prepared to select them for separate Division. We will deal first with amendments Nos. 340 and 341. Amendments made : No. 340, in page 33, line 3, after "received", insert "(i)". No. 341, in page 33, line 4, after "applica...	25 Jun 2008	AYE

However, in a subsequent parliamentary answer to me, that figure crept up to a firmer 45, plus an unspecified "larger number of less complex cases".—[ Official Report , 31 March 2008; Vol. 474, c. 712W .] Hon. Members who have been following proceedings on the Bill closely will know that we have returned to the idea of mission creep again and again. To me, that larger number of less complex cases ...	25 Jun 2008	AYE
Ten years ago, people questioned whether the British NHS could survive. It is a testimony to the extraordinary work done by nurses, doctors and all NHS staff— [Interruption.] I ask Opposition Members just to take a lesson from "herstory"; she only has a few minutes. In the 10 years since I have been in this House, the NHS is more firmly than ever part of the fabric of British national life. "we no...	24 Jun 2008	AYE
We have, with the shift from pillar one to pillar two of the common agricultural policy, and we continue to make our case. The party of the right hon. Member for Wokingham, would not even engage on the European stage; if it were still in power, we would not have achieved that progress. That gets to the core of today's debate. On the one hand, the Conservative party says that it will match our spen...	24 Jun 2008	AYE
My hon. Friend the Member for Dartford (Dr. Stoate) made a very strong case in support of the improvements that we are making to primary care, as did my hon. Friend the Member for Wigan (Mr. Turner) . He well knows that he will get not only a new health centre but three new GP practices in one of the most under-doctored areas of the country. He also made an important point about the huge public he...	17 Jun 2008	AYE

I do not accept that they are flawed, and I certainly do not accept that they are Kafkaesque, going back to the 1920s or anything else. What we have replicated for special coroners is the provision that pertains to the judiciary everywhere else in this land. It is arrant nonsense to suggest that a special coroner suitably appointed by the Secretary of State and the Lord Chief Justice is somehow a ...	10 Jun 2008	AYE
