Brazil (Violence and Police Corruption) (15 May 2009)

Mark Hendrick: Let me start with the words of Severino Silva, a Brazilian photographer: "Each day the violence grows, the firepower increases...their power of destruction is much higher".

He continues: "when I get a story the first thing I think is: I have to make it out alive...it's a conflict. It's an urban...

Mark Hendrick: I congratulate my hon. Friend on introducing the Bill. Given the economic downturn, the financial crisis and the vulnerability of many people in our society today, is it not important that the Government do not get into the same sort of position as the banks? The banks would only give people money when they did not need it and when the economy was doing well; now that the economy is doing...

HMRC Office (Chorley) (25 Feb 2009)

Mark Hendrick: Does my hon. Friend agree that the Government, particularly through HMRC and the Department for Work and Pensions, seem to be doing their best to make HMRC and DWP staff feel extremely uncomfortable.

Friend the Member for Ealing, Acton and Shepherd's Bush (Mr. Slaughter) made the point that a Government of the centre left could not find a road to peace, and it seems likely that we will have a Government of the right in Israel shortly.

Mark Hendrick: My right hon. Friend will be aware that Joseph Stiglitz chairs a UN commission looking into the financial needs of many developing countries.
