Outdoor Activities — Motion to Take Note (16 May 2013)

Lord Haworth: ...I wish to make my brief contribution to this debate. The Radical Ramblers has been in existence for more than 30 years; we celebrated our 30th anniversary earlier this year, on the Sunday after the Eastleigh by-election, almost exactly 30 years after our first walk, which was on the Sunday after the Bermondsey by-election. I am sure that the noble Lord, Lord Greaves, remembers both those...

Queen’s Speech — Debate (1st Day) (8 May 2013)

Lord Hill of Oareford: ...of Honour, I was struck by an odd pattern. He first became a government Minister in 1988, the year when the SDP merged with the Liberal Party. In 1994, the year when the Liberal Democrats took Eastleigh from the Conservatives, he became government Chief Whip. In 1998, the year when the Liberal Democrats overtook the Conservatives in local elections, he became Leader of the Opposition. In...

David Gauke: ...again escaped membership of the library committee, and will bring his expertise, and occasionally independent views, to the deliberations. I welcome, also, as a new Member, my hon. Friend the Member for Eastleigh. I said in Committee last year that the Bill before us then was the product of consultation, and that is once again the case. Thirty-six formal and informal consultations were...

Public Bill Committee: Finance (No. 2) Bill: Clause 2 - Personal allowance for 2013-14 for those born after 5 April 1948 (23 April 2013)

Chris Evans: No. The hon. Gentleman has missed the point. I know that he is very new to the House and I welcome him and thank him for that intervention. I spent a number of weeks in Eastleigh. It is a nice place, not so much for us, but it is a nice place. My point was that we get nowhere by talking about previous records. We should only talk about what is happening here and now. A constituent might be an...

Catherine McKinnell: ...very much targeted at those on modest incomes of up to £25,000, which is not a huge amount in today’s society, considering the astronomical cost of food and fuel and bills. If the hon. Member for Eastleigh is still concerned about the benefit to people on higher incomes, perhaps he should have a word with his colleagues and ask them to stop  supporting the...

Finance (No. 2) Bill: New Clause 2 — Rate of VAT (18 April 2013)

Albert Owen: ...of power at their disposal. I hope that the Liberal Democrats will support us. They have made such a big issue of it in the past. There is only one Liberal Democrat here today, the hon. Member for Eastleigh (Mike Thornton), but I would be happy to take an intervention from him, if he feels as strongly as his party did—not him personally—before the general election. It is a big...

Tributes to Baroness Thatcher (10 April 2013)

Conor Burns: ...Mr Chope) in Southampton, Itchen, his then constituency. Over the years, she was enormously supportive of my efforts to get elected to this place. I remember that in 2001, she came to support me in Eastleigh. We took her to a health club in a visit covered live on Sky News. The chief executive of the entire group had come to welcome her.

Mike Thornton: ...will increase. I am sure that is not the intention. We need to develop and build houses. To ensure appropriate development while protecting our country’s green spaces, we must innovate. At Eastleigh borough council we work with developers to purchase properties that would not otherwise be bought. We then rent them out. It would be a real help if the Government could lift the...

Don Foster: I begin by thanking those Members who gave a welcome to my hon. Friend the Member for Eastleigh (Mike Thornton). I join them by adding my own welcome. The hon. Member for Newcastle upon Tyne North (Catherine McKinnell) is absolutely right. The debate may have been robust, but it was genuinely thoughtful. It is thus a great disappointment that when she closed the debate and the hon. Member...
