Care Bill [HL]: Second Reading (21 May 2013)

Earl Howe: ..., it will also ensure that people do not have to sell their home in their lifetime to pay for residential care. Following the failure of Southern Cross, the Bill clarifies local authorities’ duties to protect people’s interest in the event of the failure of a provider, and creates a new regime for financial oversight of larger care providers. In the debate on the gracious...

Economy: Growth — Motion to Take Note (16 May 2013)

Lord Soley: ..., the growth factor is very important. There are two other points that I want to make in relation to aviation. First—again, the Minister will have heard this before—air passenger duty is a disaster for the aviation industry. It is massively outpricing us in competition with other countries and other airlines. We need to reduce air passenger duty. I know that we cannot do that...

Queen’s Speech — Debate (5th Day) (15 May 2013)

Lord Chidgey: ..., could my noble friend, either now or later, provide your Lordships with a brief on the progress made by the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State since December 2011 on their post-Busan duties, and by the former Working Party on Aid Effectiveness? With more than 48% of the world’s population now living in democracies, the current western model for development and aid investment...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Petrol Prices (15 May 2013) See 9 other results from this debate

Robert Halfon: Despite the fact that the Government have cut and frozen fuel duty, prices at the pump have gone up by 60% since 2009. Last year a motion for a full OFT inquiry into price fixing by oil companies was passed unanimously in the House. We were approached by a whistleblower who suggested that the things we have seen over the past two days had been going on. Does my right hon. Friend agree that...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (15 May 2013)

Alan Reid: This Government have helped motorists in my constituency by cutting fuel duty by 13p on the mainland and 18p on the island, compared with Labour’s disastrous plans. Now that the European authorities are investigating the oil companies, will the Government ensure that oil companies here obey the rules and end any price fixing that might be going on? It is important that the...

Eric Pickles: ...State for Energy and Climate Change, my right hon. Friend the Member for Kingston and Surbiton (Mr Davey) who, among other things, gave the House a masterclass on Professor Hills’ theory of fuel poverty. That clearly demonstrated that my right hon. Friend is completely on top of the job. The right hon. Member for Don Valley (Caroline Flint) announced three Labour policies. Just...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members' Business: Vehicle Fuel Duty (14 May 2013) See 19 other results from this debate

Daithí McKay: I thank the Member for giving way.  The fact of the matter, which most parties have ignored today, is that in the North we have some of the highest rates of fuel duty in these islands and in Europe.  Nobody has addressed that.  Amid all the Member's bluster, does he have any ideas on how to reduce the cost of fuel for consumers?

Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Private Sector Job Creation (14 May 2013)

Alan Reid: Small businesses in remote areas such as Argyll and Bute have been greatly helped by the Government’s decision to freeze fuel duty and to introduce the island fuel duty discount. This means that businesses on the islands of Argyll and Bute benefit from fuel duty being 18p a litre less than it would be under Labour’s plans. I very much welcome the Government’s policy, and...

Home Affairs (9 May 2013)

Barry Gardiner: ..., who was formerly in charge of that service, had been moved to other work. At that point, a rota of staff managed the service. It is a constant problem that staff are rotated and moved to other duties, leaving half-finished cases to be picked up again only when the MP chases up the inquiry. In one legacy case last year, we were given repeated assurances over a period of several years that...

Outlawries Bill: Debate on the Address — [Ist Day] (8 May 2013)

David Cameron: ...have now cut the deficit by a third, cut immigration by a third, cut crime by more than 10%, cut taxes for more than 24 million people, capped benefits, capped the increase in rail fares, frozen fuel duty, helped to freeze council tax, cut billions from the bloated cost of government, and, yes, secured a real-terms cut in the European budget as well. In spite of what we just heard from the...

Public Bill Committee: Finance (No. 2) Bill: Clause 5 - Small profits rate and fractions for financial year 2013 (25 April 2013)

David Gauke: ...from the Opposition are not workable, but our measures will be a radical change and will make a dramatic difference for businesses across the piece. That is why we are taking steps such as freezing fuel duty—we are not putting that up—which is also helping businesses. We are a Government who are taking practical action to help businesses, create jobs, and ensure that the United...

Scotland Office: Budget 2013 (24 April 2013)

Alan Reid: I congratulate the Government on cancelling Labour’s planned fuel duty increase and introducing an island fuel duty discount in the Budget, which means that fuel duty on the mainland will be 13p a litre cheaper than it would be under Labour and 18p a litre cheaper on the islands. A Labour Government would have destroyed the Argyll and Bute economy. I congratulate the Government on...

David Cameron: ...hon. Gentleman what this Government have done. We have taken 2 million of the lowest-paid people out of income tax altogether. We have delivered a tax cut for 24 million people. We have frozen the fuel duty. We are freezing the council tax up and down the country, and if people want to make an impact, they should vote Conservative on 2 May to make sure they keep their council tax down.

Stephen Pound: ...Committee ran through its greatest hits. I congratulate him on eschewing the false modesty to which others might have succumbed when he told us about his successes with regard to air passenger duty, corporation tax and fuel laundering. How right he was to avoid excessive modesty. The respect that many of us who have served on the Committee have for him probably grew today. The hon. Member...

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

David Gauke: ...to redress them. That is why there is a freeze in council tax, which the hon. Member for Edinburgh East does not support, but which we think does help a number of people. We are seeing a freeze in fuel duty, which means that it is 13p per litre lower than it would otherwise be. I will not deny that we have had to take some difficult decisions when it comes to the public finances. We have...

Marcus Jones: ...effect of the Government’s policies on older people. Will she not accept, however, that the triple-lock guarantee for the state pension, the three-year council tax freeze and the fact that fuel duty is 13p a litre less than it would have been had her party been in government are all policies that are designed to support older people on fixed incomes?

Finance (No. 2) Bill: Part 2 — Devolution of Wales Long Haul Rates of Duty (18 April 2013)

Sajid Javid: I thank all hon. Members who have taken part in this energetic debate, which has aroused strong passions in some parties. Clause 183 sets the air passenger duty rates for 2013-14. These rates were first announced at Budget 2012 and took effect from 1 April 2013. The rates have increased by inflation only. Because of rounding, band A has remained the same, so about 80% of passengers have seen...

David Gauke: ..., we recognise the pressures that households face and we are taking action to support them with the cost of living. Indeed, in our debate earlier this afternoon I set out some of the policies. I have touched in this speech on the personal allowance and one could also point to our policies on fuel duty and beer duty, which were announced in the recent Budget, and on council tax, which are...

David Gauke: ...nearly £600 better off in cash terms under this Government. From next year, that figure will rise to more than £700. That is not the only action that we are taking to help households with the cost of living. The fuel duty increase that was planned for September will be cancelled. The Finance Bill keeps fuel duty frozen at current levels, maintaining the longest freeze in fuel...
