Orders of the Day — Foreign Affairs and Defence (11 Dec 2000)

Mark Hendrick: May I start by thanking the people of Preston, Walton-le-Dale and Bamber Bridge who placed their trust in me by sending me to the House. Those areas were well served by my predecessor, Audrey Wise, who battled for many years on issues such as health, unemployment, housing and immigration. It is an honour to follow in her footsteps in such a wonderful town. I have represented Preston in a...

Orders of the Day — Foreign Affairs and Defence (11 Dec 2000)

Mark Hendrick: Former.

Orders of the Day — Vehicles (Crime) Bill (18 Dec 2000)

Mark Hendrick: Does the hon. Gentleman accept, first, that the free movement of goods, services and people is allowed within the European Union? Therefore, as the boundaries in which we can move freely are far greater than those of individual nation states, would it not be more appropriate to have a European Union flag than a Welsh flag, the flag of St. George or the Union flag? Secondly—

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: RAF Procurement (15 Jan 2001)

Mark Hendrick: How many new aircraft his Department plans to procure for the RAF; and if he will make a statement. [143718]

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: RAF Procurement (15 Jan 2001)

Mark Hendrick: Will my hon. Friend comment on the disgraceful way in which BAE Systems announced the job losses, given in particular the recent Indian Government announcement that they intend to buy the Hawk jet? Many of the job losses are associated with the work force on that jet.

Opposition Day: Manufacturing Industry (24 Jan 2001)

Mark Hendrick: Does the right hon. Gentleman accept that the corporation tax rate set in Ireland at the time was discriminatory, with foreign firms encouraged to invest by being given a preferential rate of corporation tax? I think that that has since been outlawed in the European Union.

Orders of the Day — House of Commons (Removal of Clergy Disqualification) Bill ( 6 Feb 2001)

Mark Hendrick: The right hon. Gentleman makes a serious charge, and a great deal of what he says seems to be based on innuendo. Will he give us an example of circumstances in which loyalties may be challenged?

Oral Answers to Questions — Environment, Transport and the Regions: Contaminated Land (13 Feb 2001)

Mark Hendrick: If he will make a statement on cleaning up contaminated land. [148451]

Oral Answers to Questions — Environment, Transport and the Regions: Contaminated Land (13 Feb 2001)

Mark Hendrick: Is my hon. Friend aware that low-level radioactive waste is being dumped at Clifton Marsh, on the outskirts of Preston, causing great concern to the residents of Preston and the Fylde? Can she give me some reassurance that the activities taking place there are safe, and are not a threat to public health or the environment?

Orders of the Day — Budget Resolutions: Amendment of the Law ( 7 Mar 2001)

Mark Hendrick: I think that the confusion was about whether churches could be included in the scope of suitability for VAT reductions. The 5 per cent. level at which the grant is aimed does not contravene any European Union legislation.

Orders of the Day — Regulatory Reform Bill [Lords] (Programme): European Security and Defence Policy (19 Mar 2001)

Mark Hendrick: Does not the hon. Gentleman think it strange that Front Benchers of his own party trumpet a possible Turkish veto of any such arrangement when, despite Mr. Rumsfeld's comments, they cannot find sufficient evidence for an American veto of such operations?

Orders of the Day — Regulatory Reform Bill [Lords] (Programme): European Security and Defence Policy (19 Mar 2001)

Mark Hendrick: Does the right hon. and learned Gentleman agree that the fact that the EU may consult NATO effectively gives NATO the choice of being involved or not?

Orders of the Day — Regulatory Reform Bill [Lords] (19 Mar 2001)

Mark Hendrick: The previous Government signed the common fisheries policy, which largely led to the current position. The Government have done much to reform it. Also, the number of abattoirs more than halved in the two years before the Government came to office. The rural White Paper, which was published in November last year, pledged £8.7 million for abattoirs.

Orders of the Day — Regulatory Reform Bill [Lords] (19 Mar 2001)

Mark Hendrick: Will the right hon. Gentleman give way?

Orders of the Day — Regulatory Reform Bill [Lords] (19 Mar 2001)

Mark Hendrick: Does not the right hon. Gentleman accept that the halving of the value on the Nasdaq exchange in New York has much to do with profit warnings by major American multinationals and little to do with the Government's sale of the spectrum, which brought so much money to the Exchequer?

Orders of the Day — Regulatory Reform Bill [Lords] (19 Mar 2001)

Mark Hendrick: Does my hon. Friend agree that the right hon. Member for Wokingham (Mr. Redwood) failed to recognise that spectrum, for example, is a finite resource and should not be given away free, willy-nilly, to telecommunications companies? It is in the interests of the Government and the public that we maximise revenue from the sale of spectrum, and thereby help to pay for schools, hospitals and the...

Orders of the Day — Regulatory Reform Bill [Lords] (19 Mar 2001)

Mark Hendrick: As someone who has served in the European Parliament, I point out that it introduces legislation that wipes out thousands of regulations throughout the EU—resulting overall in a net reduction in legislation in the 15 member states. Furthermore, I note that the hon. Member for Tiverton and Honiton (Mrs. Browning) said that with regard to regulation as a Minister under the previous...

Orders of the Day — Regulatory Reform Bill [Lords] (19 Mar 2001)

Mark Hendrick: Does the hon. Gentleman accept that the previous Government introduced 3,367 regulations in 1995, 3,291 in 1996, and 3,199 in 1997?

Orders of the Day — Regulatory Reform Bill [Lords] (19 Mar 2001)

Mark Hendrick: The hon. Gentleman says that he agrees with the minimum wage. but he obviously does not because he calls it a burden on, not a benefit to, the workers. Does the hon. Gentleman accept that crocodile tears are shed over the figures quoted? Does he also accept that the figures from the Institute of Directors differ greatly from those given by the chambers of commerce?
