Thu 13th Nov 2008: Business of the House | Commons debates. This is going to sound very trivial, but it is actually quite important to our landscape and countryside. May we have a debate on conkers or, perhaps more properly, on invasive pathogens on... Wed 12th Nov 2008: Regional Accountability | Business of the House | Commons debates. The right hon. and learned Lady is talking about accountability to the regions. She knows how unhappy many of us in the south-west are about the composition of the south-west regional Select... Business of the House | Commons debates. We will. Business of the House | Commons debates. I certainly welcome the hon. Gentleman into our big tent. Let me bring him back to the point that he was making until he was perhaps led astray by his colleague. We need the time in the debate to... Business of the House | Commons debates. While the hon. Gentleman is illuminating the duties of the Leader of the House and the Deputy Leader of the House, I wonder whether he is as perplexed as I am by the fact that they both have... Business of the House | Commons debates. On that point, I hope that the hon. Gentleman will not limit the time available to the Leader of the House to the extent that she cannot answer one simple question on the south-west. How can it... Mon 10th Nov 2008: Post Office Card Account | Opposition Day - [20th Allotted Day] | Commons debates. I hope Members do not decide that they cannot vote with us tonight, because they will not have another opportunity to express their support for their post offices. My constituency has already... Thu 6th Nov 2008: Business of the House | Commons debates. May I associate myself with the point that the hon. Member for Mid-Sussex (Mr. Soames) made about the need regularly to update the House about the two conflicts that are being waged in our name... Thu 30th Oct 2008: Business of the House | Commons debates. May we have a debate on what I can only call bogus land banks? An internet site is offering 209 so-called building plots in my constituency for up to £18,000 a time in the village of Dean,... Audit | Oral Answers to Questions - Treasury | Commons debates. How is it that the auditors of big companies, whose job is to ensure regularity and probity in the public interest, can apparently wave through the accounts of big companies whose finances, it... Audit | Oral Answers to Questions - Treasury | Commons debates. What assessment he has made of the effectiveness of audit in the regulation of financial institutions; and if he will make a statement. Tue 28th Oct 2008: Anti-corruption Champion | Justice | Written Answers. To ask the Secretary of State for Justice if he will make a statement on his role as anti-corruption champion. New Clause 16 - Carbon emissions reduction targets | Orders of the Day | Commons debates. I am puzzled, because the Minister has said on a large number of occasions that she does not want to prejudge these matters, yet is not the entire Bill based on prejudging the issues and on the... Thu 23rd Oct 2008: Business of the House | Commons debates. I think the House will agree that it is as important that we show as great an interest in small businesses as in the situation of the people in the City. Notwithstanding yesterday's statement on... Mon 20th Oct 2008: Political Parties and Elections Bill | Orders of the Day | Commons debates. As the right hon. Gentleman knows, this is a matter that we discussed in the Hayden Phillips group. To his credit, the Lord Chancellor accepted the fact that there were anomalies whereby, as... Political Parties and Elections Bill | Orders of the Day | Commons debates. The right hon. Gentleman is absolutely right about billboards and all the nonsense used by the political parties, but I want to mention one aspect of central party funding that causes me concern... Political Parties and Elections Bill | Orders of the Day | Commons debates. The Lord Chancellor is speaking as though the Hayden Phillips committee had never existed, yet he and I served on it for many long months and strove mightily to reach consensus until the... Thu 16th Oct 2008: Department of Energy and Climate Change | Business of the House | Commons debates. I welcome the statement, although I did not quite hear the detail about the insulation scheme that the Leader of the House advertised in advance. I am strongly in favour of that scheme, which is... Business of the House | Commons debates. All through the recess, I wrote to many of my constituents who contacted me saying that I was absolutely sure that Ministers would want to make two statements within the first week or so of our... Total student debt in this country is now about £22 billion. The average real student debt is about £33,000 after a three-year degree. One third of all students who have ever taken out...
