Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Police Officers/PCSOs (Bassetlaw) (26 Oct 2009) has video

John Mann: Luckily for the Minister, I got the figures last Friday from the chief superintendent. We have only 16 police officers covering the whole of the Bassetlaw and Newark division, and that is because all the rest are down in the city of Nottingham, which has had loads of murders. As it now has nothing like that number of murders, is it not time that the Government intervened to get the police...

Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Topical Questions (21 Jul 2009) has video

John Mann: Despite the efforts of various bird-brained councillors who have not yet got the gist of the Department's excellent new guidelines on the staking of graveyards, does the Minister welcome the fact that the Co-operative funeral service has now agreed to fix any gravestone wrongly staked over the past 10 years and consider any in its jurisdiction that have been staked at all?

Political Parties and Elections Bill (Extension of Carry-over): Clause 8 — Declaration as to source of donation (13 Jul 2009)

John Mann: The hon. Gentleman suggests that parties might take the complicated step of asking to check people's tax returns. Currently, when he and his party receive a donation to the Huntingdon dining club, for example, do they check the donor's bank statements to see whether they have also donated to Ribble Valley dining club, for instance, or Horsham dining club, in order to ensure that the maximum...

Political Parties and Elections Bill (Extension of Carry-over): Clause 8 — Declaration as to source of donation (13 Jul 2009)

John Mann: I am a little bemused about where all the treasurers with these problems will be. I have examined every set of accounts for the past four years for every constituency party on the Electoral Commission's website, and I can inform my right hon. Friend that there are very few local parties across the House that receive such large donations, either from abroad or from this country. This is not a...

Point of Order (13 Jul 2009)

John Mann: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. A motion was passed on 3 July last year in relation to removing the preferential tax status of Members of Parliament apropos second homes and capital gains tax. Although it may not have found favour with the House of Commons Commission, it was passed by the House, and therefore should have been implemented. What concerns me is that it has not been...

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Illegal Drugs (6 Jul 2009)

John Mann: What estimate he has made of the number of people addicted to illegal drugs.

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Illegal Drugs (6 Jul 2009)

John Mann: The estimate is 329,000, so, ever since I gave detailed recommendations to the previous Home Secretary, and the one before that, and the one before that, the numbers have gone up. Yet, the numbers in my constituency have gone down, as they have for overdoses, deaths, hospital admissions from overdoses, and burglaries. When will the Minister's Department look at those recommendations and see...

Parliamentary Standards Bill (29 Jun 2009) has video

John Mann: The unease is among Members of Parliament, is it not? It is not among the general public, who wonder why we have not managed to throw out people who are on the fiddle.

Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Topical Questions (9 Jun 2009) has video

John Mann: The prevailing economic philosophy is that the free movement of labour across Europe is good for the economy. Does the Chief Secretary agree with me that his Department needs to provide statistics to demonstrate whether a worker permanently resident in this country who gets a job has a greater economic multiplier effect than a temporarily resident migrant worker who gets the same job?

Points of Order (12 May 2009) has video

John Mann: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. It is stated on page 370 of the 22nd edition of "Erskine May" that "parliamentary government requires the majority to abide by a decision regularly come to, however unexpected", and page 368 says: "Technically...the rescinding of a vote is a new question, the form being to read the resolution of the House and to move that it be rescinded". On 3 July 2008,...

Oral Answers to Questions — Work and Pensions: Speaker's Statement (11 May 2009)

Oral Answers to Questions — Work and Pensions: Jobseeker's Allowance (11 May 2009)

John Mann: Does the Minister have any estimate of how many of the figures for the UK relate to Eddie Stobart Ltd? That company has been abusing the TUPE legislation across the country to make large numbers of people redundant in small groups. It has failed to consult properly or pay for proper consultancy, including in my constituency.

Members' Allowances (30 Apr 2009) has video

John Mann: One underlying theme resonates throughout this debate, sometimes spoken, sometimes not, and I hope that the Kelly committee will determine its views on this absolutely. I am talking about the pay of Members of this House. I take a different view from many of those who have suggested that Members of Parliament are badly paid. I think that the level of remuneration is appropriate, but we will...

Members' Allowances (30 Apr 2009) has video

John Mann: All sorts of systems could be proposed. However, the critical point is that there should be a defendable cap on the amount of money that can be spent. I have suggested that that cap should be decided on a civil service basis. Civil servants in Sheffield or Leeds can claim £127.50 per overnight stay, or per 24 hours. That would, of course, get one into what I have described as the...
