I thank the Minister for giving way. I think he was somewhat churlish in not acknowledging that many Opposition Members are also extremely grateful to those who work in food banks. When I went to my local church-run food bank, I found that the people there were not political; the one thing they wanted to tell me was how shocked they were that so many of the people coming to them were suffering fro...	18 Dec 2013	AYE
Order. The Minister is not giving way. He has limited time, and we will hear him. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. In the longer term, we need to do more to prevent people from ending up in hospital as a result of avoidable crises. As my hon. Friend the Member for St Ives (Andrew George) said, we need to make two big shifts. The first involves a move to a much greater focus on preventing ill healt...	18 Dec 2013	AYE
(a) on the basis of whether an authority’s relevant basic amount of council tax for the financial year beginning with 1 April 2013 would have been excessive if that amount for that year and for the immediately preceding financial year had been determined under section 52ZX of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 as amended by this section, (b) on the basis of whether an authority’s relevant basic...	17 Dec 2013	AYE
Local authorities often work with residents, community groups and MPs to promote the best interests of residents in matters such as the siting of local health provisions and national infrastructure developments. If the Government’s proposals pass, the Secretary of State could use clause 39 to block such collaboration, ultimately to the detriment of residents. Time and again, the Secretary of State...	17 Dec 2013	AYE
I did not get much of an impression of that in the hon. Lady’s contribution, but I give way to her. The Minister has also just repeated the ridiculous notion of the £3.8 billion for the integration of health care. That is not new money. It includes care— Order. I call the Minister. I note the position in Salford, and I recognise that finances in local government are tight. However, the Opposition ...	16 Dec 2013	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. Amendment (b) proposed to Lords amendment 155.—(Cathy Jamieson.)	11 Dec 2013	AYE
Indeed, the Minister cited Florida as an example earlier. The panel comes to the conclusion that it strongly calls for the establishment of real-time data sharing and I hope that the Government will listen to that. With the leave of the House, Madam Deputy Speaker. I thank all hon. Members for their contributions. It has been a good debate and a number of important issues have been raised, so I wa...	11 Dec 2013	AYE
With respect, I am even more confused than before. What is the point of bringing in an offence that will change the behaviour of bankers, but will not, by itself, defend the banks? As I understand it, if the behaviour that we seek to stop is reckless banking, the reason that it should be criminalised is in order to stop banks failing and the financial system crashing. It is difficult to prove that...	11 Dec 2013	NO
Let me clarify my point about the employment allowance. From the moment it was announced in the Budget, our immediate critique was not that it should not be introduced —we supported its introduction from the beginning—but to say, as we have continued to say, “Bring it in as soon as possible—why wait?” If there were compelling reasons for the wait, it would be understandable, but I am afraid that I...	10 Dec 2013	AYE

West (Geraint Davies) and for Sefton Central (Bill Esterson), and although I did not agree with much of the contribution from the hon. Member for Rochdale (Simon Danczuk) , it was thoughtful and entertaining in places. My hon. Friend the Member for Enfield North (Nick de Bois) recognised the massive deficit that the Labour party left at the end of their time in government and that the debate was v...	4 Dec 2013	AYE
I think the Minister will find that the organisations to which he is referring took the view that something was better than nothing, because nothing was previously on offer. It is stretching the point to suggest that these organisations are endorsing the Government’s approach, because that is far from the truth. The problem the hon. Gentleman has is that fuel poverty went up. It went up in the boo...	4 Dec 2013	AYE
If we are seriously thinking of replacing about 15 GW of capacity with offshore wind and even gas, which is more expensive, it is hard to see how that would not put up energy prices. Of course it would put up energy prices both for our energy-intensive users and our consumers. Those Members who think that fuel poverty matters should give some thought about how they will vote this afternoon. I have...	4 Dec 2013	NO
That is the second time the hon. Gentleman has talked about my timetable. The Opposition insisted on three days in Committee; we said they could have less. indicated dissent . If the hon. Gentleman talked to his own Whips, he might get some sense. That is exactly what happened. Second Reading and that the Opposition will vote for it this evening. It is important that we get the Bill through the Ho...	2 Dec 2013	NO

The hon. Member for City of Durham (Roberta Blackman-Woods) made a point about child care and called for action from this Government. This Government are taking action on that matter, with tax-free child care, increased provision for two-year-olds and increased provision for three and four-year-olds. I would have thought that the hon. Lady welcomed that. I noted her welcome of this week’s announce...	27 Nov 2013	AYE
Question accordingly negatived. ‘After section 89(1) (remote operating licence) of the Gambling Act 2005, insert— “( ) The Commission shall hold a list of persons who have registered to be excluded from remote gambling. ( ) It shall be a condition of a remote operating licence that an operator must exclude any person who has registered for self-exclusion with the Commission.”.’. — (Jim Shannon.) T...	26 Nov 2013	AYE
Will the Minister give way? I want to make some progress; I have too much to get through. When I have made some progress, I will come back to the hon. Gentleman. I thank hon. Members for raising the important issue of sporting integrity and the need to ensure that operators have an obligation to report suspicious market activity. I want to clarify what the Minister has just said about the FCA and ...	26 Nov 2013	AYE
(a) before the end of the period of three months beginning with the day on which the time off was taken or on which it is alleged the time off should have been permitted, or (b) within such further period as the tribunal considers reasonable in a case where it is satisfied that it was not reasonably practicable for the complaint to be presented before the end of that period of three months. (3) Wh...	20 Nov 2013	AYE
Will the Secretary of State give way? I am sorry, but I have to press on. I also want to deal with— Order. The Secretary of State is not giving way and he has very little time to finish. I also want to deal with the cost of the Reserves. The ratio is 1:5—the cost of training and maintaining a Reservist is one fifth of the cost for a Regular Army soldier. I will not dwell on the Opposition’s positi...	20 Nov 2013	AYE
“the most family-friendly Government…ever”. “I cannot ask parents to accept such a controversial change with no real guarantee it will save them money—in fact it could cost them more.” While we welcome extra support for disadvantaged two-year-olds, one in three councils tell us that they do not have enough places to meet this policy. Childminder agencies are up in the air, with no clarity about ho...	19 Nov 2013	AYE
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. On page 20 of today’s Order Paper, it states that tomorrow’s debate is on the “Abolition of the bedroom tax.” As there is no such thing as a bedroom tax—and I pray in aid page 390 of “Erskine May”, which states: “A notice which is wholly out of order may be withheld from publication on the Notice Paper”— does that mean that the Opposition day will not now...	11 Nov 2013	NO
Question accordingly negatived. Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 62(2) ), That the Bill be now read a Second time.	11 Nov 2013	NO
In the light of that, the Opposition are right not to trust the Secretary of State’s gut feeling. There has been no piloting, no parliamentary scrutiny, no commitment that those under criminal investigation cannot bid, no costings and no interest from the Government in the competence of providers. Ministers cannot say that they have not been warned. For those reasons, I hope hon. Members vote in f...	11 Nov 2013	AYE
I pay tribute to my hon. Friend the Member for Wealden (Charles Hendry) , who made a heavy hitting and thoughtful speech. He pointed out that Labour’s plans are already undermining investment, forcing up costs and increasing the political risks. He has estimated that the cost of Labour’s price freeze to consumers’ bills will be £1 billion. We have just heard an exchange about tariffs. Is the Minis...	6 Nov 2013	AYE

Voting for this Bill tonight does not mean I will be giving a green light to the whole project. There is still some way to go for me to be persuaded that the pros outweigh the cons, and I shall be looking at things very seriously. But one thing I would say is that if there is one person in this Chamber who can persuade me of that, it is the Secretary of State. We should not forget that Hitachi bui...	31 Oct 2013	AYE

I am confused, Mr Deputy Speaker, about what I am being asked to do. Am I being asked to pay a bigger percentage by results or am I being asked not to do it at all? I do not think that the Opposition know. I have also been asked whether the system will involve contractors passing back difficult cases. That will not happen for two reasons. First, the decision on whether an offender has become a hig...	30 Oct 2013	AYE
