Most recent appearances
- Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Employment Law (Beecroft Report) (21 May 2012)
“Does the Minister agree that when we look at employment legislation, we should look not only at no-fault dismissal, but at all such legislation in the round? Activation policies that help people to get into work are as important as focusing on what happens when the relationship between an employer and employee goes wrong.”
- Public Bill Committee: Finance (No. 4) Bill: Clause 5 - Main rate of corporation tax for financial year 2012 (26 Apr 2012)
“I note the hon. Gentleman’s comments that nobody gets it right all the time when we refer to the previous Government’s record, yet he is quick to criticise this Government as they try to clear up the mess that we are in. He should apply the same standards to the previous Government as to this Government.”
- Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Leveson Inquiry (25 Apr 2012)
“The Secretary of State is a fellow Surrey MP whom I have grown to respect as a model professional. He knew that the BSkyB deal was controversial when the issue was moved to his Department. Will he explain what measures he took to ensure that the bid process was fair, transparent and open?”
