- Business of the House (19 Nov 2009) has video
Peter Bone: I congratulate the Leader of the House on becoming parliamentarian of the year. More importantly, however, in the annual review of Cabinet Ministers' rankings she has shot up from No. 11 to No. 2. As the founder, and sad to say only, member of HOTS-Harriet's Official Tory Supporters-may I ask her for a statement about whether her rise is likely to continue, and whether she can break through...

- [Hugh Bayley in the Chair] — Health Inequalities (12 Nov 2009)
Peter Bone: Once again, we have heard the Government say that we have the national capitation formula that is based on the needs of particular areas, but they are not meeting those figures because they are overfunding elsewhere. If I had a pound for every time a Minister has told me, "We are closing this gap," I would be a very rich man, but there is no evidence that they are closing the gap. If it is...
- [Hugh Bayley in the Chair] — Health Inequalities (12 Nov 2009)
Peter Bone: My hon. Friend is making a powerful speech as usual. Am I right in thinking that only the Conservative party has guaranteed to increase spending on health?
- [Hugh Bayley in the Chair] — Health Inequalities (12 Nov 2009)
Peter Bone: If we passed legislation that required manufacturers to use one kind of labelling, it would be done. Nobody in the EU would do anything about it, such as fining us. Are we not in favour of bringing powers back from Europe?
- [Hugh Bayley in the Chair] — Health Inequalities (12 Nov 2009)
Peter Bone: You are wrong.
- [Hugh Bayley in the Chair] — Health Inequalities (12 Nov 2009)
Peter Bone: I want to start, Mr. Bayley, by saying that it is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship. I also want to congratulate the right hon. Member for Rother Valley (Mr. Barron) on how he introduced the report that we are discussing today and on how he carried out the inquiry into this issue. As usual, he did so with great diligence, hard work and fairness. The report brings to the...
- [Hugh Bayley in the Chair] — Health Inequalities (12 Nov 2009)
Peter Bone: Does the hon. Gentleman agree that one of the problems of the Sure Start system is that it is not getting to the hard-to-reach cases? That is what the Sure Start centre in my constituency tells me. It is working well, but it is not getting to the very difficult and hard-to-reach groups.
- Business, Innovation and Skills: First Capital Connect (12 Nov 2009) has video
Peter Bone: My constituents use those services. For the sake of balance in this debate, can the Minister tell us how many Labour MPs are sponsored by ASLEF?
- Business, Innovation and Skills: Small Businesses (12 Nov 2009)

- Business, Innovation and Skills: Small Businesses (12 Nov 2009)
Peter Bone: Would the Minister recommend to the Secretary of State that he sits Lord Sugar down in a room, looks at him mournfully, stabs his finger at him a couple of times and says, "You're fired"?
- Residential Roads (Adoption) (11 Nov 2009) has video
Peter Bone: The Minister is giving a very good response, but may I pick up his point about money being provided by the Department for Transport? In Wellingborough, the Department is suggesting putting in a bus lane for about 60 yards, which will speed up buses by three seconds at a cost of £2 million. Local people say that that is nonsense, but unless the infrastructure is put in, all the rest of...
- Residential Roads (Adoption) (11 Nov 2009) has video
Peter Bone: I apologise for not being here at the beginning of the debate, but in the next two and a quarter hours of it, will my hon. Friend comment on the 52,000 new houses being developed in north Northamptonshire? The problem is that when councils reject plans because the roads will not be adopted and the infrastructure will not be in place, the decision is overturned by the Government inspector, as...
- Residential Roads (Adoption) (11 Nov 2009) has video
Peter Bone: I declare an interest as I lived on such an estate, with the raised kerbs, with a young child. I was told that the reason that the roads were not being adopted was not the developer's fault, but that of Anglian Water, because it had not done the sewerage. In his remaining time, perhaps my hon. Friend could develop that important issue.
- Olympics: Energy National Policy Statements (9 Nov 2009) has video
Peter Bone: Can the Secretary of State say why the contents of his statement were leaked to the press over the weekend before it was made to Parliament?
- Oral Answers to Questions — Culture, Media and Sport: Topical Questions (9 Nov 2009) has video
Peter Bone: I congratulate the Secretary of State on being voted Stonewall politician of the year, but I am somewhat disappointed to find that in the annual review for ministerial responsibilities, he has been demoted to the bottom of the Cabinet. Does the Prime Minister not share the other organisation's view of him?

- Points of Order (5 Nov 2009) has video
Peter Bone: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. During business questions, there appeared to be a planted question to which the Leader of the House made a mini-statement about the communications allowance. Many Back Benchers would have liked to question the Leader of the House about that. Have you, Mr. Speaker, been given any indication that a proper oral statement will be made?
- Business of the House (5 Nov 2009)
Peter Bone: My constituents, Mr. and Mrs. Kemp and their eight-year-old daughter went to Egypt. As they went through the airport, they passed through an automatic temperature control. The little girl had a slight temperature: they had their passports confiscated, they were removed to a filthy isolation hospital and they were detained there against their will. May we have an urgent statement from the...
