- Business of the House: Clause 4 — Obligation to notify subscribers of reported infringements (7 April 2010) has video
John Randall: It really is kind of the Minister to give way. I support him in what he says about copyright. I have a real problem, however, as a result of a constituency case in which someone was accused of illegal downloading. We found out that the IP number-I have to say that I am a member of the Luddite society on this issue-was not unique, so the provider gave an IP number and the person who thought...
- Amendment of the Law (25 March 2010) has video
John Randall: As my hon. Friend knows, I am a great supporter of cider, and I have noticed from some of the bottles in this place that the Wildlife Trusts are working in conjunction with cider makers because of that advantage to the environment, which I hope will not be lost with the increase in tax.
- Amendment of the Law (25 March 2010) has video
John Randall: It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Leyton and Wanstead (Harry Cohen), who made what I guess was a valedictory speech, like that of my hon. Friend the Member for Macclesfield (Sir Nicholas Winterton). The House will miss them. I am not quite ready for the concept of the hon. Member for Leyton and Wanstead as one of Parliament's saviours through advising the Prime Minister and the...
- Amendment of the Law (25 March 2010) has video
John Randall: Excesses of any ideology are bad and wrong. I am a pragmatist, and I think we should just get on with the way we live our lives, and not adhere strictly to such ideologies, so the hon. Gentleman is right in one way. My hon. Friend the Member for Sevenoaks (Mr. Fallon) made a wonderful speech-it was short and to the point-and we should take a great deal of encouragement from, and listen to,...
- Amendment of the Law (25 March 2010) has video
John Randall: I am listening very intently to my hon. Friend. When I was younger, the balance of trade payments statistic was always put up-it was on the news and we were well aware of it-but in recent years it seems to have disappeared from our screens. Can he tell me why that is?
- Amendment of the Law (25 March 2010) has video
John Randall: Does the hon. Gentleman agree with his leader's statement that the country needs savage cuts?
- Points of Order (25 March 2010) has video
John Randall: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I feel rather confused about something, so I hope that you can help me. There was some talk earlier, in the exchanges about private Members' Bills, about the wash-up, but as far as I can see from the Order Paper there are three more Fridays set down for private Members' business. Surely there would be ample opportunity to discuss those Bills, if not on 23 or...
- London Hospitals — [Mr. George Howarth in the Chair] (17 March 2010)
John Randall: I shall use my minute as best I can. It is a shame that we have to rush these things, because the issue is obviously of great importance to everyone in London. I notice from the annunciator that the business in the main Chamber seems to be about to finish. It is a shame that three hours will be wasted there, when we could be discussing this matter in the main Chamber. When we have these...
- Business of the House: High Speed Rail (11 March 2010)
John Randall: While welcoming the Government's conversion to high speed rail, I am very disappointed, as are many thousands across the country, that this does not mean the end of the Government's plans for a third runway at Heathrow. To raise a key item for my constituents in Uxbridge, south Ruislip and Ickenham, has the Minister any idea how much wider the existing Chiltern line will have to be?
- Opposition Day — [5th Allotted Day]: Health Care in London (9 March 2010)
John Randall: I welcome the opportunity to follow the hon. Member for Islington, North (Jeremy Corbyn). I, too, received an e-mail from a commissioner, which contained the worrying words: "Targets and centralisation have driven morale to an all-time low, with money wasted and no flexibility to be innovative or unique." I go to regular meetings on this issue with my two colleagues from the other Hillingdon...
- Opposition Day — [5th Allotted Day]: Health Care in London (9 March 2010)
John Randall: The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. We want Ealing to keep its hospital, because we do not want lots more cases coming to Hillingdon. The people of Ealing deserve to have their A and E department there. I know Hillingdon hospital. I was first a customer there in 1967, and my family and I have been using it since then. It is doing an excellent job. It has never had a particular golden age....
- Written Answers — Home Department: Repatriation (22 February 2010)

John Randall: I am disturbed to hear the Minister say that that will not be him. Can he explain why?
- Bill Presented: Damages (Asbestos-Related Conditions) (No.2) Bill (5 February 2010) has video
John Randall: I congratulate the hon. Member for Hendon (Mr. Dismore) on bringing the Bill back to the House and on his tenacity on this important subject. I mean this with no disrespect to him, but it is very much a lawyer's Bill. As a layman, I listened to his explanation hoping to find out exactly how the Bill would work. I think I got the general drift, but some of the more intricate parts of it...

John Randall: It was very good, though.
- Bill Presented: Anti-Slavery Day Bill (5 February 2010) has video
John Randall: I shall be brief, because I am anxious for this and the following business to be discussed. I pay tribute to my hon. Friend the Member for Totnes (Mr. Steen) for his work on these issues. He has talked to me about many of them for some considerable time, and he has opened my eyes to a very serious issue; occasionally he has caused them to close after a very lengthy discussion, but mostly he...
