Tim Loughton: ...work and dedication of the commission on social workers, whose members were so willing to reconvene to update our original report and to make further recommendations in light of the deteriorating climate, as highlighted by the baby P case and other high-profile cases. Today we are making further recommendations, and I would very much like the Secretary of State to respond to them. First,...

Post Office Closures (Adur and Worthing) (17 Dec 2007) has video

Tim Loughton: ...with a very uncertain future. Understandably, some postmasters—although not the majority in my constituency—have decided to take the money and run. I am not saying that I am against all change. Because of competition and the way in which post office services are evolving, those services need to be rationalised. No one denies that. My party has put forward proposals for...

Orders of the Day — Adoption and Children Bill — [3rd Allotted Day]: Clause 136 — Extent (20 May 2002)

Mr Tim Loughton: ..., as it has done throughout its passage. As the Minister said, we have achieved an awful lot. The number of Government amendments tabled on Report shows that the Government have been willing to make many changes. To give them credit, they have responded to many of the concerns that we expressed in Committee, including those relating to the three-year limitation, which we discussed earlier,...

Orders of the Day — Adoption and Children Bill (29 Oct 2001)

Mr Tim Loughton: ...report—released last Tuesday—highlighted claims from Mr. McWilliam's first two wives about his violent and cruel tendencies towards them and the children. It noted that he had changed his name twice and that Mrs. McWilliam had five police convictions.

Public Bill Committee: Homes Bill: Clause 8 - Home condition reports (23 Jan 2001)

Mr Tim Loughton: ...time-limited. They are effectively condoning a system under which a house sale could be based on a home condition report carried out six months, a year or even 18 months ago, since when fundamental changes might have been made to the building's soundness—not least, in today's climate, through flooding. That weakness raises the question of cost. During the frenetic activity that went...

Greening Government Initiative (18 Jan 2001)

Mr Tim Loughton: ...government initiative, in 1998 and 1999; the pre-Budget reports and those on the comprehensive spending review; and the reports on the sustainability of world trade, on EU environment policy and climate change, genetically modified organisms, and water and energy efficiency. I take the point made by the hon. Member for Bury, North (Mr. Chaytor), who queried how these reports come up for...

Orders of the Day — Finance Bill: Climate Change Levy (2 May 2000)

Mr Tim Loughton: ...interesting experience of interviewing the Financial Secretary before the Budget. I found it odd that the Financial Secretary did not open this part of the debate with some words in support of the climate change levy. It was even more odd that so few Labour Members wanted to contribute to the debate, despite the fact that the proposal takes up more than 80 pages of the Bill. The history...

Mr Tim Loughton: ...passing a burden to other competitive British companies as well. It is no surprise that, just yesterday, the Select Committee on the Environment, Transport and Regional Affairs said: We do not believe that the Climate Change Levy meets the tests of good taxation. The system of exemptions, negotiated agreements and reduced rates has produced an extremely complex and cumbersome market...

Mr Tim Loughton: ...the patient was taken to the delivery ward and in July 1999 we had a new Bill altogether. No sooner had it arrived in the delivery ward, than the lead gynaecologist and the whole medical team were changed, replaced by rookies who were not privy to the patient's history, condition or entire medical records. All that time, the patient was left in limbo, not knowing whether she was going to...

Energy Tax (20 Jul 1999)

Mr Tim Loughton: ...Select Committee on Environmental Audit, and I have had a longstanding interest in green taxes and carbon tax, but what is on offer today is not a carbon tax. Let us dispense with all the spin. The climate change levy is nothing more than an energy tax, and that is rightly the title of the debate. It is a tax by stealth, another red herring of a green tax, and a masterful piece of...
