Most recent appearances
- Business of the House (2 Jul 2009) has video
“The "Building Britain's Future" White Paper, which was published earlier this week, states in terms that "the Government hopes that time will also be available in each House to debate this document." As responses have to be in by 21 September, can the Leader of the House tell us when we will have an opportunity to debate the White Paper? We were promised such a debate in the White Paper...”
- Oral Answers to Questions — Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Topical Questions (2 Jul 2009) has video
“On Monday the Prime Minister launched the White Paper "Building Britain's Future". There is no reference in that document to farming, the rural economy or recycling. With the exception of a reference to the Flood and Water Management Bill, DEFRA is completely invisible in it. Why does DEFRA not seem to appear at all in "Building Britain's Future"?”
