designs to unregistered designs would change? In a nutshell, does he think that more people would register their designs as a result of clause 13? It will obviously take some time for the system to bed in. Can the Minister give us a time scale? When will the evaluation take place and how long will it last? I do not want to give a time scale. The hon. Gentleman has already referred to one that I ga...	12 Mar 2014	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Proceedings interrupted (Programme Order, 10 March ). 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: 30, page 102, line 31, leave out clause 119.—(Andy Burnham.)	11 Mar 2014	AYE
I am grateful to the Minister for some of the clarifications he has given so far. When he concludes his comments on new clause 16, will he confirm that the review of the guidance that he has invited me to chair will also consider the issue of consultation to ensure that it is genuinely pervious to public opinion and other clinical opinions in the area? I am happy to give my right hon. Friend that ...	11 Mar 2014	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment made: 8, page 96, line 2, after ‘individuals’ insert ‘aged 18 or over who are’.—(Dr Poulter.) Amendment proposed: 29, page 100, line 29, after ‘Authority’, insert ‘and the Secretary of State’.— (Mr Jamie Reed.)	11 Mar 2014	AYE
Under this Bill, the HRA would be responsible for overseeing the ethical review of health and adult social care research. As access to patient information may involve the consideration of ethical issues, it makes sense for the HRA to make decisions on applications for access to confidential patient information for research purposes. If my hon. Friend will forgive me, I will not give way. I have on...	11 Mar 2014	AYE

will review evidence of concerns about local authorities’ commissioning practice to establish whether it is appropriate to ask the CQC to undertake a targeted review under section 48 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008. Getting the message out to commissioners that the powers will be used is important in itself to concentrate minds. They will be under the spotlight if they fail in their commiss...	10 Mar 2014	AYE
(a) promote and safeguard the health and well-being of carers; (b) ensure that effective procedures exist to identify patients who are or are about to become carers; (c) ensure that appropriate systems exist to ensure that carers receive appropriate information and advice; and (d) ensure that systems are in place to ensure that the relevant general medical services are rendered to their patients w...	10 Mar 2014	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. ‘(1) A person (“P”) who provides regulated social care for an individual under arrangements made with P by a public authority, or paid for by a public authority, is to be taken for the purposes of subsection (3)(b) of section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998 (acts of public authorities) to be exercising a function of a public nature in doing so.

Motion lapsed ( Standing Order No. 9(3) ). Motion made, and Question proposed, That this House do no adjourn.—(Amber Rudd.) As my right hon. Friend the Member for Barking (Margaret Hodge) has repeatedly argued, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs is not tackling this problem seriously enough and “pursues tax owed by the smaller businesses but seems to lose its nerve when it comes to mounting prosecu...	5 Mar 2014	AYE

their rights and will continue to do so, but my conclusion is that I do not believe that imposing a travel ban on those promoting the Bill, which is supported by Ugandan parliamentary and public opinion, would achieve the results that he and my hon. Friend the Member for Reigate wish. Free, tolerant, open and inclusive societies are better able to fulfil the aspirations of their people. They are m...	12 Feb 2014	NO
Further to the speech that my hon. Friend the Member for Bromley and Chislehurst (Robert Neill) made earlier, will the Minister confirm or deny that the Liberal Democrats stood in the way of a fairer deal for rural areas? There is more that local government can do to hold down costs. An example can be seen in the tri-borough initiative in west London, involving Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington a...	12 Feb 2014	NO
happens. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman’s hon. Friends can take note that he is struggling to make himself heard above the noise. I am happy to be ignored in perfect silence or to be heckled, but when the noise is so close, it is a little difficult to hear oneself think. One expects an element of quiet—perhaps it comes with being a schoolteacher. The hon. Member for Scunthorpe (Nic Dakin) , my neighbo...	12 Feb 2014	NO
Housing associations say that tens of millions of pounds are likely to be lost through the build-up of arrears. Reports this morning estimate that 144,000 people have fallen behind with their rents since the introduction of the bedroom tax and that 14% have received eviction notices. Was that really meant to happen? Was this eviction of the poor really the plan of the Government? In October, resea...	12 Feb 2014	AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 125 agreed to.	10 Feb 2014	AYE
We can debate whether we should replace the words “smoking in cars” with the words “smoking in enclosed public places”. However, the arguments that are made by Government Members are all too often the wrong arguments and they are being left behind by society, which wants us to move again. That is why I support the Lords amendments. Protecting children is one of the most important responsibilities ...	10 Feb 2014	AYE
My hon. Friend the Member for North Swindon (Justin Tomlinson) talked about how people can set up their own business, and how that is a real engine for social mobility, and how this Government are helping people through the new enterprise allowance. Under us, businesses are setting up at the rate of 2,000 a month. That is what we want—young people setting up in business, older people and women set...	5 Feb 2014	AYE
“Patients requiring elective care will have the right, in law, to choose from any provider who meets NHS standards of quality at NHS costs”. If I am right, that is called “any qualified provider” or “any willing provider”, which is exactly what this Government have pursued. Labour’s rewriting of history is breathtaking. “pursuit of targets and financial balance at the expense of quality of care.” ...	5 Feb 2014	AYE

against them could not possibly result in a conviction at trial. That means that the evidence against a person is so undermined that no conviction could be based on it. “a failure of the trial process”. The burden is not on the defendant to prove that they were innocent. In R (AH) v. the Secretary of State for Justice, the divisional court ruled that a miscarriage of justice occurs where an indivi...	4 Feb 2014	NO

Under the previous Government, we had an approach that decided that Whitehall and the Secretary of State knew best. We had centrally driven initiatives, such as the national strategies, that included chunking and told teachers how they should teach. Rather than empowering teachers, they deskilled them. As the shadow Work and Pensions Secretary has said, that led to shocking levels of English and M...	29 Jan 2014	AYE
“showed me his gardens, which are for variety of evergreens, and hedge of holly, the finest things I ever saw in my life.” Motion lapsed ( Standing Order No. 9(3) ). Motion made, and Question proposed, That this House do now adjourn.— (Mr Evennett .) The Olympia was constructed from 1844 to 1846 and remains on site today. Let me return to Sayes court. When John Evelyn moved out in 1694, it was ren...	22 Jan 2014	NO
I thank the hon. Gentleman for his comment, and clearly those are issues that all charities have concerns about. The amendment would also reduce the amount of red tape for charities simply seeking to help people who are unable to bear their own burdens. I have been contacted by charities—in Northern Ireland and across the UK—highlighting how some constituency boundaries split towns between two con...	22 Jan 2014	NO
What did you say? Hansard will prove whether or not I did, and it may even identify the Minister. Ministers of course ratify decisions and good ones ensure that their decisions go through, but, frankly, I can think of numerous examples where that has not been the case. Going to special advisers and civil servants, although usually with general ministerial consent—perhaps not from the particular Mi...	22 Jan 2014	NO
I am grateful; the hon. Gentleman has a couple of minutes to tell Parliament what it needs to know. In the judgment of the Home Secretary, which of the six people who will be released from their TPIMs, and who were considered so dangerous that they needed to have those restrictive measures, still pose a security threat? The Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Act 2011 provides for the ...	21 Jan 2014	AYE
