In the constituency of the hon. Member for North Wiltshire, there are now 2,365 more nurses, and 849 more doctors, in his strategic health authority area. North Wiltshire has 290 more teachers than in 1997, and Wiltshire has 63 more police officers. Unemployment has fallen 63 per cent. since 1997. None of that was mentioned in the criticisms that he levelled. That comes on top of announcements thi... 19 Jan 2005 NO
"The tax plans unveiled by the Tories fail the credibility test." It is worth reading a little more. It says: "The White Queen in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland claimed she had believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. The Conservatives are less ambitious in wanting voters to believe in only three". One thing we do know is that even on the basis of those numbers that fail th... 19 Jan 2005 NO

We are still consulting on that, as the hon. and learned Gentleman knows as a court recorder. It specious to suggest that the House of Lords will lose expertise. Retired Law Lords can remain in the House and contribute if they wish. There has been discussion about the location of the new court, as I said. Lord Millett said: "The fact is that this House can no longer provide the accommodation, reso... 17 Jan 2005 NO
The hon. Member for South Suffolk said how differently we in this country treat deaths on the road from deaths arising from rail or air crashes, or other causes. Other hon. Members made the same point, including my hon. Friend the Member for Halifax (Mrs. Mahon) . I think that we are going through a gradual cultural change in this matter. I am glad to say that the number of people injured is falli... 11 Jan 2005 AYE
Question accordingly agreed to. Queen's recommendation having been signified— Motion made, and Question put forthwith, pursuant to Standing Order No. 52 (Money resolutions and ways and means resolutions in connection with bills) , 10 Jan 2005 AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Main Question put forthwith, pursuant to Standing Order No. 62 (Amendment on Second or Third Reading) , and agreed to. 10 Jan 2005 AYE
Is the hon. Gentleman saying that ports should work only in daylight hours? Is he saying that he would sweep away the exemptions that exist for safety reasons? He needs to do a little more homework. The hon. Member for Vale of York raises detailed issues in a rather confused way, and she, too, has clearly not understood the wide-ranging nature of our consultation and the support for the Bill from ... 10 Jan 2005 NO
