Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: New Clause 8 — MCZs: duty to manage and mitigate impacts upon existing activities (26 Oct 2009) has video

Austin Mitchell: ...George), who is the vice chair of the all-party group on fisheries—I am its chair. Our interests are common and we work in the same way, except that he tends to run with the fishing fox and hunt with the conservation hounds. That is understandable, because he is a Liberal Democrat and, thus, naturally confused about his objectives. I do not think that we are sharply opposed, but it...

Fisheries (7 Dec 2005)

Austin Mitchell: ...of fishing, particularly in his constituency. I accept that the hon. Gentleman would wish to welcome a new Member to the House—that election, however, was decided more on the issue of fox hunting than on fishing—but it is not legitimate to do so with an attack on the newcomer's predecessor, who is missed by Labour Members and who worked vigorously and diligently for the cause...

Orders of the Day — Identity Cards Bill (28 Jun 2005)

Austin Mitchell: ...who sleep rough, people who move house and flit around, people who are just not traceable, people who stay out of the way of authority? What will happen to them? Are we going to employ bounty hunters to go out and hunt those people down in order to force them to have a passport? If we make the ID card free for such people, it will increase the charge levied on other people enormously. It...

Fisheries (2 Dec 2004)

Mr Austin Mitchell: ...into the regional management structures. The fishing industry must be listened to by the Commission and the Government. We must have co-operative management of fishing. For too long, it has been a hunting industry and it is crucial to bring it into a process of co-operation and consultation if we are to achieve the sustainable fishing future that we need. If we can work towards that goal...

Orders of the Day — Limited Liability Partnerships Bill [Lords] (23 May 2000)

Mr Austin Mitchell: ...the meeting of the parliamentary Labour party last week produced an enormous list of proposals from Labour Members for the legislative programme next year. These proposals included measures to deal with hunting with dogs; housing, including multiple occupancy; pensioners and carers, especially action on long-term care; the regulation of the private security industry; regulation and reform...

Financial Services (15 Feb 1994)

Mr Austin Mitchell: ...all come pouring in. Fraud does not work that way. A fraudster will not rush in saying "Here's the evidence, Mr. Auditor!" It is all well concealed, and unless the auditor has an obligation to hunt fraud down—become the "white hunter" of the British economy—fraud will not be detected. A passive approach to audit, such as the Audit Practices Board is recommending, is simply a...

New clause 1: Convergence Criteria: Assessment of Deficits (4 May 1993)

Mr Austin Mitchell: ...term as it drains away the industrial economy. We know the consequences of the exchange rate mechanism because we have been there and been through the inevitable processes in that form of convergence. Fox hunting is described as the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable. Those who pursue the mirage of monetary union are the uncomprehending in pursuit of the unobtainable. I do not see...

European Community Documents: Cable and Broadcasting Bill [Lords] (8 May 1984)

Mr Austin Mitchell: ...from the composition of the panel — it recommended the rapid, deregulated development of commercial cable systems. Following a note of dissent from the Opposition, that was followed by the Hunt committee. It was one of the less successful committees of inquiry. It was as though the good Lord Hunt set out deliberately to put his mistress's voice into the report. It effectively took...

Bill Presented: Reuters (Flotation) (27 Jan 1984)

Mr Austin Mitchell: ...by other newspapers. The matter has been completely absent from the correspondence columns of The Times, which is an interested party in the debate. Others have focused on the titillation of the hunt for the golden prizes, transforming a tragedy into a treasure hunt. There has been no adequate serious coverage of the matter even in newspapers that are interested parties. Parliament should...

Broadcasting (Cable Systems) (2 Dec 1982)

Mr Austin Mitchell: ...that report. That is tantamount to getting criminals to write their own judgments or special interests to agree to their own demands. That report was immediately followed by a quick reply from the Hunt committee, which is a classic example of how to get what one wants without specifically asking for it. This is a tame committee, with a former Cabinet secretary, whose whole experience is...

British Broadcasting Corporation Licence Fee (25 Apr 1980)

Mr Austin Mitchell: ...him to address his remarks to meant that he was aware of this dichotomy in my mind between populism and Reithianism. But it would be wrong for someone like me to join in the atmosphere of witch hunt which is unleashed by cuts. Cuts turn section against section in an organisation and in society at large. They turn interest against interest as each struggles to avert the weight of cuts from...
