Pension Credit and Personal Expense Allowance (Duty of Consultation and Review): New Clause 11 — Guidance on offences that involve hatred on grounds of sexual orientation (24 Mar 2009) has video: Tom Harris: ...remember a conversation that we had a couple of years ago, in which he said, "Tom, the only remotely left-wing thing about you is that you quite like poofs." I have a long history of support for gay rights in this House. It is a matter of some regret that I have to speak against what the Government are trying to do tonight by removing the so-called Waddington amendment. If one speaks to...
Home and Constitutional Affairs (2 Dec 2003): Mr Tom Harris: ...will know that an answer was not sought to the Ulster question during those 50 years; and why should it have been? Members of this House should be elected on an equal basis. For example, I am not gay, but I am happy to vote on civil partnerships.

Date range:
to
You can give a start date, an end date, or both, to restrict results to a particular date range; a missing end date implies the current date, a missing start date implies the oldest date we have in the system. Dates can be entered in any format you wish, e.g. “3rd March 2007” or “17/10/1989”.
Person:
Enter a name here to restrict results to contributions only by that person.
Section:
Restrict results to a particular parliament or assembly that we cover (e.g. the Scottish Parliament), or a particular type of data within an institution, such as Commons Written Answers.
Column:
If you know the actual column number in Hansard you are interested in (perhaps you’re looking up a paper reference), you can restrict results to that.

TheyWorkForYou search is case-insensitive, and tries to match all the search terms within a document.
To search for a person, just enter their name – we will search our database of people, as well as searching speeches made by that person, or that mention that person.
To search for an exact phrase, use quotes (""). For example to find only documents contain the exact phrase "Hutton Report":
"hutton report" Also put a word in quotes if you don't want to perform stemming (where e.g. searching for the singular of a word also tries to search for the plural).
To exclude a word from your search, put a minus ("-") sign in front, for example to find documents containing the word "representation" but not the word "taxation":
representation -taxation
If you want to search for words only when they're used near each other in the text, use "NEAR". For example, to find documents containing the word "elephant" near the word "room":
elephant NEAR room
