Public Bill Committee: Climate Change Bill [Lords] (3 Jul 2008)

Frank Cook: I am very conscious, gentlefolk, of the common aspirations of the Committee in so far as climate change is concerned. With that in mind, I have a serious announcement to make. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that this is the last occasion on which members of the Committee will have to suffer somewhat bilious interpretations of “Erskine May” and the pedantic...

North East Air Support Unit (Teesside) (13 May 2008)

Frank Cook: ...of us in such splendid isolation today. To my mind, the topic is every bit as important as police service restructuring. In view of what I shall say later, it might be best for me to set out the climate of that debate. The argument concerned whether we should merge the police forces of Northumbria, Durham and Cleveland into one force. It was suggested at the time that the force should be...

Palestinian Territories (Israeli Policy) (18 Jan 2006)

Frank Cook: The very change in climate to which my right hon. Friend refers—that Israelis could visit those areas at one time but can no longer do so in safety—is surely indicative of the fact that a solution to the problem is running further and further away as a direct result of the measures that have been taken over the years.

NATO Enlargement (17 Jul 1998)

Mr Frank Cook: It is always a pleasure to follow the right hon. Member for Wealden (Sir G. Johnson Smith)—not that I follow his politics. I follow him more in friendship. We have shared quite a few exchanges in defence debates over the years. I have been a Member of the House for more than 15 years and have taken part in quite a number of defence debates. Some might say that my contributions have been...

Mr Frank Cook: ...the same position then as is Russia today? Will service men and women return to this country to find that they have nowhere to live? Will they be housed in tented accommodation, regardless of the climate? That is a distinct possibility if we go down this route. Can we expect a developer, who is responsible for the properties and who fills the houses with civilian tenants over time, to...

Social Policy Protocol (Confidence Motion) (23 Jul 1993)

Mr Frank Cook: .... Member for Southend, West (Mr. Channon) reminded us. I was present throughout yesterday's debate, except for 12 minutes when I took a cuppa and a sandwich in the Tea Room. I have heard all the exchanges today, except during two periods when I was speaking on the telephone behind the Chair. I make no complaint about being present all that time, because I had the privilege of hearing the...

Treaty of Maastricht (Social Protocol) (22 Jul 1993)

Mr Frank Cook: ...of the national referendum, but also as someone who realised over the years that it was unrealistic to maintain that stance. We have been in too long, and we have become embedded too deeply, to change now. I suppose, too, that I was attracted by the improved conditions common throughout Europe that appear to be beneficial to European citizens. I visited Holland and Germany, I appreciated...

Orders of the Day — Defence Estimates (19 Jun 1990)

Mr Frank Cook: ...for the Armed Forces. The Minister displayed the degree to which the Government are bereft of any insight into the current situation. As I tried to point out to the Minister, circumstances have changed so dramatically and rapidly in the 12 months that no one anywhere knows exactly where we stand. We would be spending our time better trying to collect our wisdom and analysing collectively,...
