Estimates 2014-15 — Department for Work and Pensions: Housing Costs (Reformed Welfare System) ( 3 Mar 2015)

John Hemming: The hon. Gentleman makes a valid point. Social landlords have had a relatively simplistic approach to designing property to suit the demands of the market. That creates a difficulty, in as much as one should recognise that there are real difficulties in the financial costs of living alone, including paying rent. The hon. Member for Aberdeen South said that the changes to universal credit mean...

[Andrew Rosindell in the Chair] — Backbench Business — Harvey’s Law ( 2 Mar 2015)

John Hemming: I join the hon. Gentleman in congratulating all the campaigners who raised this issue, which is very important to pet lovers. For most of my life, I have had a pet. Sadly, two of them got run over close to our house, and we found them not very well or dead. However, it would have been much worse if we had not known what had happened. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that it would not be...

John Hemming: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the contribution by the hon.

Opposition Day — [18th Allotted Day]: Members’ Paid Directorships and Consultancies (25 Feb 2015)

John Hemming: I refer the House to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. It contains an entry for JHC, which stands for John Hemming & Co., a company I founded in 1983. It currently employs about 260 staff and has a turnover of £20 million. I have declared in the register an income of around £180,000 from that company. I attend a meeting once a month and chair the board meeting. I...

Opposition Day — [18th Allotted Day]: Members’ Paid Directorships and Consultancies (25 Feb 2015)

John Hemming: The problem with that question is that the hon. Lady has made an assumption that I do not make other donations to charity. I do make other donations, but they are not set out in my entry in the register. I am sorry, but that claim is basically wrong. I do a vast amount of casework. I have my advice bureau on Saturdays, and the maximum number I have dealt with is 38 groups of people....

[Mr James Gray in the Chair] — Backbench business — Animal Welfare (Non-stun Slaughter) (23 Feb 2015)

John Hemming: I thank the right hon. Gentleman for his well-informed and impressive speech. Does he see no role for additional labelling?

Point of Order (11 Feb 2015)

John Hemming: On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I provided your office with a copy of the minutes of the petitions committee of the European Parliament of 11 November—

Point of Order (11 Feb 2015)

John Hemming: In terms of discussing this at the Procedure Committee, the fact that I cannot even raise the point of order is in itself a useful piece of information for it to consider.

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council ( 4 Feb 2015)

John Hemming: Rotherham, like all local authorities responsible for children, submits a return to the Government on what is happening to the children—the SSDA903 return. Every year, Rotherham is audited on what happens with its finances, so that the finances are not fabricated. In the SSDA903 returns, certain children leave care for “other” reasons; they may be trafficked, they may be abused—we do...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Child Sexual Abuse (Independent Panel Inquiry) ( 4 Feb 2015)

John Hemming: I have documentary evidence to substantiate the allegation that the Foreign Office recently turned a blind eye to child abuse in St Helena. We are also aware of the recent banning of the American journalist Leah McGrath Goodman from investigating child abuse in Jersey. In both cases, that was done by UK Government authorities in recent years; I am not arguing that Ministers were involved. Are...

Living Wage (Reporting): Human Fertilisation and Embryology ( 3 Feb 2015)

John Hemming: This is a difficult issue for everybody. I have a real difficulty with this, which is that I cannot see the difference between modifying mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA. Both are inherited, and both can prevent inherited diseases. If we agree to this as a process, we are, in essence, potentially agreeing to swapping a pair of chromosomes—[Interruption.] I know that we are not agreeing to...

Living Wage (Reporting): Human Fertilisation and Embryology ( 3 Feb 2015)

John Hemming: They remain—

Living Wage (Reporting): Human Fertilisation and Embryology ( 3 Feb 2015)

John Hemming: I will not take lots of interventions because it would damage the debate. They remain inherited, and, in essence, we face the same difficulty. My concern is a legalistic one, which is that we are moving away from a society in which we value people as people to one where we start looking at people in terms of what categories they fall into and things such as that. To that extent, I cannot back...

Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government: Firefighters’ Pensions ( 2 Feb 2015)

John Hemming: I was one of the Members who backed the Government given the assurances from the Minister, but the documentation from the employers indicates something else. What clarification can she give about what the employers are saying?

Written Answers — Department for Work and Pensions: Roads: Safety ( 2 Feb 2015)

Written Answers — Ministry of Justice: Non-molestation Orders (26 Jan 2015)
