Thu 11th Mar 2010: High Speed Rail | Business of the House | Commons debates. Of course, I am delighted for the regions that will benefit from this announcement, but I remind the Minister that an awful lot of the country lies west of Reading. Can he give me a date for the... Business of the House | Commons debates. The problem of course is that there are not many days left now to do these things. I am waiting in particular for the motion to dissolve Parliament. I have asked for it for the last two weeks and... Tue 9th Mar 2010: Non-Domestic Rates | Oral Answers to Questions - Communities and Local Government | Commons debates. May I ask the Minister to look yet again at how empty property tax works at the moment? I have a lot of constituents who have converted agricultural property into workshops, in line with... Thu 4th Mar 2010: Chair (Terminology) | Business of the House | Commons debates. I am listening to the right hon. Lady with care and respect. She says that this is an untried system that has not been experienced in our Parliament; no, it has not, but it has in many other... Chair (Terminology) | Business of the House | Commons debates. I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for that. If we agree to that new role for the Chairman of Ways and Means subsequent to today's votes, however, we will need to prepare for that, so that...

I will maintain a more stately andante, but I hope to be... Business of the House | Commons debates. The entire Government are sounding a little provisional at the moment. May I join in the tributes to Michael Foot? He was a member of a west-country radical family of some note, and was of a... Wed 3rd Mar 2010: Bribery Bill [ Lords] | Royal Assent | Commons debates. May I say to the hon. Gentleman how much I agree with everything he is saying? I pay tribute to his role in bringing about such legislation. He might recall that I had a go when I promoted a Bill... Communications Allowance - [Frank Cook in the Chair] | Westminster Hall debates. I have not got time-I have only six minutes. It is also right that we should be able to write proactively, directly to constituents on matters that affect them and on how we are doing our job as... Communications Allowance - [Frank Cook in the Chair] | Westminster Hall debates. I am glad the extra time the hon. Member for Battersea (Martin Linton) took came out of my allocation, Mr. Cook. I congratulate the right hon. Member for Streatham (Keith Hill) on securing the... Tue 2nd Mar 2010: My hon. Friend may not recall this, as I do not think that he was a Member of the House at the time, but during the debates on the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005, the Government's... It is the opposite. I spent rather a large part of my life dealing with the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act in Committee and on Report. One of the criticisms, which I thought Conservative Front Benchers at... I should like to make it plain to the hon. Gentleman that I am not talking about the findings. The findings should clearly state whether there was a reasonable case that a Member had been misled... I thought that that was the case. This is a question of who or what we are going to be consistent with. We cannot be consistent with both, but obviously at some stage, there has been... There is a slight sense of a work in progress about this group of amendments, which is to be entirely expected when trying to translate into legislation the Kelly Committee proposals and to... That was my point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, and you have corrected the matter. Thank you.
