2014-12-17 Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added. Passed 302 264
2014-12-17 The hon. Member for Edinburgh East (Sheila Gilmore) suggested that the comparison with the private rented sector was something of an afterthought. Uncharacteristically for her, she had not read the impact assessment we published in 2012, in which we made that very point. We heard from some of my hon. Friends about how their local authorities have been very proactive in this area. We heard how, in ... Rejected 268 300
2014-12-16 Question accordingly negatived. Clause 24 ordered to stand part of the Bill. Rejected 219 298
2014-12-16 I want to take on board the point about universities and freedom of speech. As I have said previously, universities’ commitment to freedom of speech and the rationality underpinning the advancement of knowledge mean that they represent one of our most important safeguards against extremist views and ideologies. The duty is not about restricting freedom of speech. We have not had the advantage of s... Rejected 218 301
2014-12-16 That is hardly robust encouragement from the Government. It appears that the Liberal Democrats have had a change of heart. They now admit that section 78 of the 2010 Act was the right approach all along. We still have time before the election to make pay transparency a reality. It does not require primary legislation. Section 78 already gives the Government the power to make regulations to require... Passed 260 10
2014-12-15 Question accordingly negatived. Clause 1 ordered to stand part of the Bill. Rejected 224 303
2014-12-15 I completely understand why the Government have decided that within the 14-day period there should be no appeal or review, but I cannot understand why paragraph 8 of schedule 1 prohibits or prevents the judge from considering whether there is a basis for the order or retention in the first place. All the judge can do is ensure that those who are considering the matter are doing so diligently. He i... Rejected 222 303
2014-12-15 If someone fails a fitness test through no fault of their own and they do not qualify for ill health retirement, they will get a redeployed role or an unreduced pension. That will be put on a statutory footing in the national framework—a full, unreduced pension, if not an alternative role. Having heard the words of the Minister, I think the whole House can now support the statutory instrument. I a... Rejected 263 315
2014-12-08 Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 62(2) ), That the Bill be now read a Second time. Passed 278 12
2014-12-08 Further public accountability will be provided by the new watchdog mentioned by the hon. Member for Rugby (Mark Pawsey) . We will be converting Passenger Focus into a new body, Transport Focus, which will better describe its reason for existence: it will now be commenting on the state of the roads as well as the modes of transport that use them. When Brunel was building his bridge, there was no pl... Rejected 201 295
2014-12-05 Question accordingly agreed to. Question put accordingly, That the Bill be now read a Third time. Passed 148 7
2014-12-05 What could a Government Bill have done instead? It could have set out where the revenues would come from to fund the promise. It could have hypothecated some element of taxation. It could have set up an independent body to ensure that the revenue was dedicated to the causes that are, in and of themselves, enormously admirable. But the Government chose not to do that. Instead, they chose to support... Passed 147 7
2014-12-05 (2) An order under subsection (1) shall not be made unless a referendum has taken place in the United Kingdom and more than 50% of those casting a vote do so in favour of meeting the target. (3) This Act shall only have effect in those years where the United Kingdom records a budget surplus. (4) The Secretary of State may vary the target mentioned in section 1 by an order contained in a statutory ... Rejected 6 147
2014-12-05 (a) the amount payable by the United Kingdom to the European Union. (b) Welfare benefits paid to foreign nationals. (c) Welfare benefits paid to UK nationals living abroad. (d) The administrative costs of the Department for International Development and its agencies and associated public bodies.” —(Philip Davies .) Brought up, and read the First time. Rejected 6 149
2014-12-05 Question accordingly agreed to. Question put accordingly, That the clause be read a Second time. Rejected 8 150
2014-12-05 “as soon as reasonably practicable”. When will that be? What does that mean? Will we have to wait for a report to come out a year hence? It is completely meaningless and I cannot believe that anyone has fallen for it. My hon. Friend’s amendment, which is very sensible indeed and should be welcomed by the whole House, says that the statement should be made after “no more than 10 days during which b... Passed 148 8
2014-12-03 I do not want to preview the Adjournment debate too widely, although we do want to generate interest in it, but my case is that although the Government have attempted to introduce steps to alleviate such impacts, they are actually mitigating the unfairness rather than dealing with its cause, which is the way the Treasury taxes pensions that are effectively a second pension on the same job because ... Rejected 211 294
2014-12-01 “The Bill establishes the secure college in law. Beyond the legal framework, the legislation does not specify details of the regime to be delivered within the secure college.” The most obvious example of that is the secure college rules. Effectively, the secure colleges are the old-style Borstals, and everybody knew that they did not work. Indeed. One of the fundamental problems is that there is n... Passed 318 196
2014-12-01 Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 107 disagreed to. Passed 316 200
2014-12-01 Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 103 disagreed to. Passed 314 202
2014-12-01 Question accordingly agreed to. Lords amendment 97 disagreed to. Passed 317 205
2014-12-01 In a way, the wording does not matter. The net effect of those criteria is to set up retrospective tests that mean that the chilling effect will apply. Interveners are typically charities, not-for-profit organisations and others who may perhaps have funds to pay their own costs, but The hon. Gentleman is missing the point. Why should those who row in to back a judicial review that they lose be aut... Passed 321 205
2014-12-01 Division 100 Passed 321 205
2014-11-28 Subsection (4) says that if “the relevant local housing authority has not decided whether to inspect the dwelling-house or the common parts” or has decided to inspect them but has not carried out the inspection, or has conducted an inspection but has not decided whether to serve a relevant notice, or has decided to serve a relevant notice but the notice has not yet been served, in all those circum...

2014-11-28 The Chairman of Ways and Means took the Chair as Deputy Speaker (Standing Order No. 3 ). I beg to move, That the House sit in private. Question put forthwith, ( Standing Order No. 163 ). Rejected 3 45
