Orders of the Day: New Clause 19 — Power to remove or reduce burdens (15 May 2006)

Kenneth Clarke: ...use of the measure if they ever assumed office. However, let us wait for his explanation. Turning to the criminal law, I have suggested that the procedure could be used to end the illegality of fox hunting. Most of the great liberal reforms abolishing criminal penalties have been introduced by the House, but some people advocate the introduction of things that they regard as liberal...

Orders of the Day — Prevention of Terrorism Bill: Clause 1 — Power to Make Control Orders (9 Mar 2005)

Mr Kenneth Clarke: ...Member for Sleaford and North Hykeham (Mr. Hogg), along with a crowd of amendments covering the entire Bill. It is a bizarre means of proceeding. The House spent more than 700 hours considering fox hunting, yet it is debating the substance of this Bill in three hours in bizarre procedural terms. It is clear that we should return to the matter and have proper legislation. Whichever party...

Hunting With Dogs (18 Mar 2002)

Mr Kenneth Clarke: I have never taken part in a debate in the House on foxhunting, but we have debated it so frequently in recent times that it is necessary for me to give a word, at least for the benefit of my constituents. I have not changed my mind, although I have the greatest respect for those who have over the years. I have always voted against a ban on foxhunting and I have always made it perfectly clear...

Orders of the Day — British Shipbuilders (Borrowing Powers) Bill (9 Jul 1987)

Mr Kenneth Clarke: ...we have an excess capacity of shipbuilders for conceivable merchant orders. It does nobody any good, given that we expend large amounts of intervention fund money, to keep the merchant yards in the hunt for those merchant orders that exist. If we suddenly greatly expand potential capacity by giving intervention fund support to the naval yards to go for merchant shipping orders, the result...

Orders of the Day — Ports (Financial Assistance) Bill (25 Mar 1981)

Mr Kenneth Clarke: ...an emergency offer for two months only to two ports which will close unless something is done to help them through the present crisis. It is not a long-term guarantee. Here I must correct my hon. Friend the Member for Wirral (Mr. Hunt), who seemed to think that this was guaranteed stability. If that severence is successful, and if, thereafter, plans can be produced which give the ports...

Commuter Rail Services (London) (19 Dec 1980)

Mr Kenneth Clarke: ...evening, but I have no doubt that there are considerable variations in those averages. For example, Sundridge Park and Bromley North, mentioned by my hon. Friend the Member for Ravensbourne (Mr. Hunt), are used by more than that average figure, and I have no doubt that Sir Peter Parker and the British Railways Board will bear in mind his submissions about those stations, as I hope they...

County of Merseyside Bill [Lords] (19 Feb 1980)

Mr Kenneth Clarke: ...and emphasise that my remarks are in no way meant to wind up this debate. The County of Merseyside Bill is a private measure, sponsored in this House by my hon. Friend the Member for Wirral (Mr. Hunt) I do not know how many sponsors this Bill has had during its long passage or how many Ministers have intervened at various stages, but it is not appropriate that I should wind up the Bill as...

Orders of the Day — LONDON TRANSPORT BILL (By Order) (23 Oct 1979)

Mr Kenneth Clarke: ...Member for Newham, South that nobody could be complacent about the progress that was being made in dockland. It really was not adequate to the needs. My hon. Friend the Member for Ravensbourne (Mr. Hunt) said that it was a terrible disgrace that such an important part of the capital city is still in such a bad condition and that we have not yet begun the proper revival of that area....

Clause 9: Teacher Training Colleges (Closure) (11 Mar 1975)

Mr Kenneth Clarke: ...a full three-year rundown period until 1977, so that all students at the college can complete their courses. At the moment I am in the middle of an exchange of correspondence with Lord Crowther-Hunt, the Minister of State at the Department of Education and Science. I am trying to get a quick assurance from him that the full three-year rundown period will be guaranteed. At the moment there...

Debate on the Address (2 Nov 1971)

Mr Kenneth Clarke: ...as adequate. The character of my constituency around Nottingham is varied. There are old mining towns at one end and rolling farming acres at the other over which the Quorn has been known to hunt. In satellite towns of the city of Nottingham. between, Beeston and Stapleford are Rushcliffe contains a great deal of industry, mostly light industry, but including mining and textile...
