Question accordingly agreed to. Motion made , and Question put accordingly, 14 Dec 2009 NO
Perhaps I was a little harsh with the hon. Gentleman opposite from Scotland. Therefore, much as I would like to agree with my hon. Friend, if I was harsh with the hon. Gentleman, I have to be harsh with him, because this is a London or south-east matter. My hon. Friend the Member for Wimbledon (Stephen Hammond) asked me- On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. May I just point out that I am not the Memb... 14 Dec 2009 NO
We have not got the time to get into the details of what happens if somebody has continuing needs with dementia. They have both health needs and care needs. The point that the hon. Gentleman has made about the Bill is clear-those on the Tory Benches would do nothing. They suggest that we would not provide the care at home in cases of advanced dementia that we all know is needed. I am not going to ... 14 Dec 2009 NO
The hon. Lady may still wish to respond, bearing that point in mind. I understand the concerns that have been raised, and we have looked into some of those raised by the Devon OSC. The PCN has confirmed that equipment to undertake open and minimally invasive procedures is in place in Plymouth. Additional equipment has been ordered, after discussion with a senior surgeon at the Royal Devon and Exet... 9 Dec 2009 NO
With the leave of the House, I will respond to the points made about amendments 35 and 36. I am grateful for the support of the hon. Member for South-West Bedfordshire (Andrew Selous) , and I note that my hon. Friend the Member for Northavon (Steve Webb) tabled similar amendments in Committee. I see the point that the Minister makes. However, the explanatory notes on the duty "to consult children,... 9 Dec 2009 NO
Question accordingly negatived. '(1) The Secretary of State must, before the end of the period of three months beginning with the day on which the Act is passed, publish and lay before Parliament a report setting out an assessment of progress made towards meeting the 2010 target. (2) The 2010 target is that in the financial year beginning with 1 April 2010 , fewer than 1.7 million children live in... 9 Dec 2009 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. 'The Secretary of State shall make regulations setting out reduction in the causes of poverty targets.'.- (Andrew Selous.) Brought up, and read the First time. 9 Dec 2009 AYE
I draw the hon. Gentleman's attention to the fact that in preparing a UK child poverty strategy, consideration must be given to any necessary measures required in respect of housing to support the tackling of child poverty, as set out in clause 8(5)(d). We are currently analysing the impact of housing on child poverty to inform the first child poverty strategy, and that analysis will determine the... 9 Dec 2009 AYE
May I also say that one of the- No, I will not give way to the right hon. Gentleman for the moment, because I want to address some important points that were put to me. If he will sit down, I will proceed with my answer. I will come on to deal with other points- [Interruption.] I will give way to the shadow spokesman first and then to the right hon. Member for Charnwood (Mr. Dorrell) . I am still ... 8 Dec 2009 AYE
I shall take one more point of order. Sir Patrick Cormack. Further to that point of order, Mr. Speaker. For further clarification, if the motion moved by the hon. Member for Somerton and Frome (Mr. Heath) is carried and we move on to the next business, we shall then have to debate the IPSA motion on a future occasion. Presumably you would then be minded to accept another amendment such as that whi... 2 Dec 2009 AYE
I welcome everything that my hon. and learned Friend has said. She will recall that I raised an issue to do with the Scottish Gypsy Traveller community earlier. Is she in a position to come back to me on the question of whether she believes that they are covered under the legislation by the category of race? My understanding is that there is already a case about that, although at first instance I ... 2 Dec 2009 AYE
(6) "Service-provider" has the meaning given in section 28.'.- (Vera Baird.) Amendments made: 180, page 145, line 32 , leave out 'or, in Scotland, an owner of the premises'. Amendment 181, page 146, line 1, leave out from beginning to 'all' in line 3. Amendment 182, page 147, line 5, leave out 'or, in Scotland, the owner of the premises'.- (Vera Baird.) Amendment proposed: 37, page 162, line 13, l... 2 Dec 2009 AYE
(n) make provision about who is to be treated as being, or as not being, a person entitled to occupy premises otherwise than as tenant or owner. (5) In this section- "common parts" means, in relation to premises, the structure and exterior of, and any common facilities within or used in connection with, the building or part of a building which includes the premises but only in so far as the struct... 2 Dec 2009 AYE
Division 13 2 Dec 2009 AYE
Schedule 9 — Work: Exceptions 2 Dec 2009 AYE
I will not waste time. I shall speak to amendment 32, standing in my name, and to amendment 31, standing in the name of the hon. Member for Heywood and Middleton (Jim Dobbin) , who apologises for not being able to be here today. "The Charity has suspended the recruitment of new prospective adoptive parents to ensure that the Charity is not in breach of the Regulations or in breach of the tenets of... 2 Dec 2009 AYE

My hon. Friend the Member for Cities of London and Westminster (Mr. Field) described the fag end of a Parliament that we are undoubtedly in at the moment. As we all know, we have reached the stage whereby the Government are pointlessly going into a last six months because they cannot call an election with any confidence of winning at the time that they normally would. We therefore have to fill the... 26 Nov 2009 AYE

I am not sure where that leaves aims for a Digital Britain. The Home Office paper, "Protecting the public in a changing communications environment", would better serve the public by enabling roaming than by some of the other activities planned for e-mails and such like. Now, a burden is placed on the consumer to find the ability to access more than one network. Consumers sometimes have to purchase... 11 Nov 2009 NO
I agree, and as the right hon. Gentleman will know, we have today been invited by the Home Secretary to extend the remit of the advisory committee to look at the possibility of admitting intercept evidence in coroners' inquests. I cannot speak for the right hon. Gentleman, but I would happily agree to the remit of the committee being widened in that way. With the leave of the House, I wish to repl... 9 Nov 2009 AYE
It is tempting on these occasions to load the IPC with a huge number of responsibilities. Part of what I have tried to set out is a balance of powers, so that it is the role of Government to set out need, get the skills strategy right and obtain the investment. The job of the IPC is to make a specific judgment about specific developments. That said, I am sympathetic to the point my hon. Friend mak... 9 Nov 2009 NO
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 59 disagreed to. 9 Nov 2009 NO
I will be very brief—briefer than I would otherwise be—one reason being that like many Members of the House, I would like to hear the views of the right hon. and learned Member for Folkestone and Hythe (Mr. Howard) , if, indeed, Mr. Deputy Speaker, you were minded to call him at any stage. In that hope, I will be as brief as I can be. It is exactly the same with a coroner's inquest. If somebody ha... 9 Nov 2009 AYE
