Lord Bassam of Brighton: In 1996 Siemens Business Services Ltd and the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) of the Home Office agreed a specification and contract for the development and operation of an integrated casework system. For a number of reasons delivery in the timescale originally anticipated did not occur. Officials have however worked closely with Siemens to ensure that the Information Technology...
Mr Keith Hampson: As far as I can remember off the top of my head, that is a little unfair. Siemens is so much bigger as a company than GEC. Siemens is worth £14 billion to £15 billion, whereas GEC is worth £3 billion to £4 billion. I believe that GEC's latest account shows that it has been spending about 7 per cent. on research, which is higher than Siemens.

Theresa Villiers: ...have robust processes which they employ to manage potential conflicts of interest effectively. The specific arrangements are set out as follows: (a) September 2008, Gauging clearance study work for Siemens: This work involved Interfleet checking that Siemens' “City Train” concept vehicle profile would pass along the UK rail network including the Thameslink routes. Interfleet confirmed...
Diana R. Johnson: Bringing Siemens, manufacturing wind turbines, to the Humber is vital for jobs and a breakthrough on renewables, which will hopefully increase the UK industry in this area. Local councils and businesses are doing everything they can to attract Siemens to the area, but we face very strong foreign competition. Will this Government do what the last Government did and back this bid? Will the...
Charles Hendry: The renewable heat incentive is not actually related to the offshore wind development sector, in which Siemens is looking to operate. We are working closely with Siemens. Yesterday I chaired the offshore wind developers forum to consider the barriers to potential investment. We see this as a massive opportunity for Britain to secure the sort of green jobs that the hon. Lady is talking about...
Kelvin Hopkins: In awarding the Thameslink contract, did the Secretary of State take into account Siemens’ industrial relations record? Siemens’ global business strategy has been described as aggressively anti-union, and staff currently working for First Capital Connect on the existing Thameslink bid have not been reassured by the Government that their terms and conditions will be protected by the...
Mr Michael Colvin: I am reassured to learn that German standards are higher than ours. Siemens, which is a large company that is trying to take over the Plessey company in my constituency, is much involved with hearing aids. It is a most unwelcome takeover bid—I could not miss the opportunity of making that constituency point. Siemens is an extremely powerful company and it is nonsense to set fines for people...
Sadiq Khan: The Siemens Mobility Ltd’s factory in Vienna is an established facility which Transport for London (TfL) has assessed to ensure it can produce trains to the quality and reliability standards needed to serve Londoners on one of the world’s busiest underground lines. The recent award of the Piccadilly line train contract is a key step in allowing Siemens to progress its plan to build a new...
Alan Campbell: On short-termism and regional assistance, I know that my right hon. Friend shares my concern about today's decision by Siemens to invest in a plant in France rather than on north Tyneside. Quite apart from the fact that the French factory will not be making the same product as the north Tyneside one, that suggests an appalling lack of commitment by Siemens to finding a secure future for the...

Edward Davey: ...as Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, I represent all of them. I am working extremely hard to make sure we get investment in the energy sector in this country and we are working with Siemens. The hon. Lady may be interested to know that, in fact, Siemens did not sign the most recent letter from a number of companies about this issue. In our discussions with Siemens, the...

Theresa Villiers: ...of potential conflicts of interest. In September 2008, prior to the issue of the Invitation to Tender, they notified the Department that they had carried out some gauging clearance study work for Siemens. In January 2009 they notified the Department that they intended to bid for potential Notified Body approvals contracts with all Thameslink bidders (Alstom, Bombardier, Hitachi and...
Chris Williamson: ....] However, just a few months later, when the Government could have done something positive to show that they meant those words, they awarded preferred bidder status for the Thameslink contract to Siemens rather than to Bombardier in Derby. Ministers seem to have ignored the provisions within the invitation to tender documentation. The ITT states that the successful bidder must demonstrate...
Mr Neil Hamilton: Diolch yn fawr, Lywydd. A yw'r Prif Weinidog wedi gweld bod cydgwmni mwyaf Ewrop, Siemens, yn cyfarfod heddiw, neu’r penwythnos yma, yn y Cotswolds i lunio ei strategaeth ôl-Brexit, ac y bydd Joe Kaesar, prif weithredwr Siemens yno? Mae wedi dweud bod Siemens wedi ymrwymo'n llawn i'r DU, beth bynnag fydd yn digwydd. Mae'n dweud, Rydym ni yma ar gyfer yr hirdymor...gan fod y DU yn lle da i...

The performance of the telecoms maintainer is monitored on a monthly basis, with clearance targets of between two and six hours, depending on the...
Nick Clegg: I certainly agree with the hon. Lady’s latter point. There is absolutely no way that a multinational such as Siemens would invest that amount of money if we were on the brink of pulling out of the European Union single market. I have been in several discussions with Siemens board members, as have many members of the Government, to persuade them to make that decision, and I am delighted that...
