Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Donations (Political Parties) (11 Dec 2007) has video

Andrew MacKinlay: We are talking about smoke and mirrors, and funding of political parties. Does my right hon. Friend think that we could be told how Conrad Black got his peerage? Can we be reassured that the reason was nothing so grubby as to involve money? There is no logic as to why even the Conservative party would have asked that man. He does not attend the House of Lords—he soon will not be able to...

Andrew MacKinlay: ..., but they might never have done so. Once the legislation is in train, there will be an awful lot of very bewildered and frightened people in abject poverty and alone, because they will have been smoked out. The remedy is not automatically to deport those people. Each case needs to be looked at sensitively.

Points of Order: Intelligence and Security Committee (Annual Report) (11 Jul 2006)

Andrew MacKinlay: How can my right hon. Friend justify to the House of Commons the fact that the response to which he has just referred was not available in the Vote Office at 11 o'clock today? By such smoke and mirrors, the interference will be that, somehow, the House has taken cognisance of the response. It so happens that I raised the issue on a point of order 10 minutes ago, and a number of hon. Members...

Orders of the Day — Health Bill (29 Nov 2005)

Andrew MacKinlay: ...some credit for possibly knowing what we are talking about. Legislation and administration would be much better, and we could have started to combat MRSA a lot earlier, had people listened. On smoking, we are told that the chief medical officer nearly resigned. He should have resigned, in my view. It is not very brave of him to say that he nearly resigned. It is an extremely important...

Orders of the Day — Health Bill (29 Nov 2005)

Andrew MacKinlay: A large part of England, anyway. Earlier, the right hon. Member for Charnwood (Mr. Dorrell) said that employers and employees are working gradually to provide smoke-free workplaces. The truth is that employers are now moving to insist on smoke-free workplaces because they fear litigation. Whether or not we pass the Bill, employers are receiving a growing weight of advice that they could face...

Andrew MacKinlay: ...on both Front Benches with regard to private clubs. As I understand it, both the Opposition spokesman and the Secretary of State are saying that even in private clubs, people will not be able to smoke at the bar because of the duty of care to employees. But what about another point, which the hon. Member for South Cambridgeshire (Mr. Lansley) has already raised? What about the duty of...

Business of the House (10 Nov 2005)

Andrew MacKinlay: May I take the Leader of the House back to the reply that he gave me last week? When I asked for a free vote on a total smoking ban, he impertinently suggested that I was not supporting the manifesto on which he and I were elected. That is a dangerous argument for him to advance. Does he really want me to produce an audit of those things that we have implemented that were not in our manifesto...

Clause 1: NUMBER OF MEPs, ELECTORAL REGIONS AND ELECTORAL SYSTEM (24 Feb 1998)

Mr Andrew MacKinlay: ...why they are unable to. I use the word "unable" deliberately, because, if they cannot advance such reasons, we must conclude that they are unwilling and we are entitled to ask why. I think that the smoking gun goes back to the Foreign Office, which has significantly failed the people of Gibraltar for a decade or more. I ask the Home Secretary to consider re-examining the matter. There is...

Mr Andrew MacKinlay: ...Conservative Members go into the Lobby to support the Chancellor who hit the poorest hardest. The Chancellor's reference to the channel tunnel route was another feature of the Budget and it was a smoke screen for his inactivity and not knowing where to go. The Secretary of State for Transport also referred to the route in a statement this afternoon. The route, they argue, is important for...
