[Frank Cook in the Chair] — Internet Fraud (5 Nov 2008)

Nigel Evans: ...;one that I have not heard of before. I believe that the onus is on the Government, working with the financial institutions, to run an advertising campaign. I cannot remember the last campaign on ID fraud. Capital One, in trying to sell its credit cards, now and again says that one can take out protection against ID fraud. How about the Government working with the financial institutions in...

Oral Answers to Questions — Health: Christmas Adjournment (18 Dec 2007)

Nigel Evans: ...hope to secure an Adjournment debate in the new year, so that the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs can answer that important point.

Mr Nigel Evans: ...route. The drinks industry has a responsibility to its customers, to parents, as my hon. Friend the Member for Castle Point (Dr. Spink) mentioned, and to society at large.

Orders of the Day — Social Security (20 Feb 1996)

Mr Nigel Evans: It is 4 per cent. People who come into this country and seek asylum are not always from the traditional countries that one might expect; often, they have decided to come here to better their economic livelihoods.
