To find the right response to the challenges that exist, including the demographic challenges, we must start with the right attitude. We must open our arms to an ageing society, not wring our hands. We need to be positive about how we can help older people not simply to get by, but to flourish and live full lives in times of both health and illness. Today, we have debated the dementia strategy-a n...	27 Jan 2010	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Question proposed, That the clause stand part of the Bill.	26 Jan 2010	NO
Well, I have much greater faith in the British voter than any of the Conservative Members present. Can the Minister not see that, when it comes to many other aspects of this place, and in other fields, a period of time is provided for, in respect of the so-called revolving door? We do not want the Door to the Chamber to become a revolving door. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendme...	26 Jan 2010	AYE
If the hon. Gentleman looks at his history books, I think that he will find that there was not a consensus about the NHS-very far from it. The Conservative party did not support it at the time, but I shall not take that historical analysis any further. If the manifesto commitments were expressed in those terms, I think that the other place would recognise that the will of the people had spoken. Sa...	26 Jan 2010	AYE
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way on that basis. He always dances elegantly between reason and common sense-indeed, he gave a nod in the direction of conservatism, for which I suppose we must be grateful-but I wonder where, in his attack on hereditary power, he sees the monarchy. I did not know that he was a republican and I am rather surprised to hear that he is. If he is indeed a re...	26 Jan 2010	NO
I feel sure that the right hon. Gentleman has a different, unrelated point of order. Yes, Mr. Speaker, it is a wider point of order. The problem is that many Members of the House find the process extremely difficult to accept in any case. It would be helpful if the Government recognised that an explanation is owed to the whole House on matters of this kind. I am very grateful to the right hon. Gen...	26 Jan 2010	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment proposed: 3, in page 1, line 3, leave out clause 1.- (Mr. Hoban.)	25 Jan 2010	AYE
Conservative Members continually ask, "Who is in charge?" They do not have an answer. As I have said, we are clear that each authority has its own responsibilities. Amendment 5 would require the FSA to have regard to proceedings for the council for financial stability when considering its financial stability objective. Again, it is unnecessary-I shall mention one or two amendments that I believe t...	25 Jan 2010	AYE
Let us not forget the contribution that commercial businesses need to make to avert costs in energy and reduce their carbon emissions. We help with expert advice, interest-free loans and mechanisms such as climate change agreements and the emissions trading scheme. The right hon. Member for Suffolk, Coastal (Mr. Gummer) , who is no longer in the Chamber- Yes, he is. Ah, there he is! Thank you. The...	13 Jan 2010	AYE
The hon. Member for Havant talked about progression, which is an important issue. He talked about the report of the right hon. Member for Darlington (Mr. Milburn) and the importance of trying to inspire apprentices to build their skills up to the higher education level. We have committed-again in the skills strategy-to introduce an apprenticeship scholarship fund from the autumn, and we are curren...	13 Jan 2010	AYE
I am grateful to the Minister for his patience in giving way, but he again spoke about people with the highest care needs. We all agree that we should encourage as many people as possible to live at home and introduce a system to enable that-there is no argument about that. However, it is simply untrue that the Bill focuses resources on those with the highest care needs. Those who need residential...	12 Jan 2010	AYE
Amendment 20 addresses the issue of carers. It would insert the wording: "Any process under subsection (4C) may not be contingent on the activity of, or acquiring, a carer." Even in a situation where carers would still be able to input their knowledge and expertise to design reablement packages, it would be difficult for them to be assured that that was being carried out appropriately if they were...	12 Jan 2010	AYE
I also want to emphasise to the Committee-the hon. Gentleman acknowledged this in moving the amendment-that we have committed to reviewing the implementation of free personal care within the first 12 to 18 months of the policy coming into force. After that review, it will be possible to reconsider the predicted costs of delivering free personal care and the conditions for eligibility, if necessary...	12 Jan 2010	AYE

Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 62(2) ), That the Bill be now read a Second time.	11 Jan 2010	NO
"open the flood gates for increased litigation against schools". As the hon. Member for Yeovil (Mr. Laws) pointed out, how is the local government ombudsman going to be able to enforce loosely defined guarantees about the quality of education? The hon. Member for Yeovil is also right to question, as we do, the value of personalised home-school agreements-a point also well made by the right hon. Me...	11 Jan 2010	AYE
Further, evidence does not suggest that outsourcing the forecast would improve its accuracy. The Treasury's fiscal forecasts since 1997 have been marginally more accurate than the forecasts for the UK made by many independent international organisations, such as the OECD, the IMF and the European Commission, and no more or less cautious than the range. Instead, the Government's approach is to stre...	5 Jan 2010	AYE

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
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
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 31(2) ), That the proposed words be there added.	8 Dec 2009	NO
Despite remarks from the Opposition, my hon. Friend the Member for Ealing, Acton and Shepherd's Bush (Mr. Slaughter) has been a doughty campaigner for his constituency, including against the injustices that have come in under the Conservative council. The hon. Member for Croydon, Central (Mr. Pelling) made some telling points about highways maintenance in Croydon. This is a problem across the coun...	8 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
(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'.

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	NO
