Opposition Day — [18th Allotted Day]: Unemployment in the UK (7 Oct 2008) has video

Tony McNulty: .... We got a sub-prime cabaret from the Little and Large of the Tory Front Bench. That is a real shame, because we are discussing a serious matter. The Conservatives are playing the same game of smoke and mirrors with this issue as they are playing across the piece on policy, to hide the wasteland and absence of any Conservative policy. They propose either what we are already doing or what...

Tony McNulty: ...to engineer debates so that one can leave when necessary. I demur from those who suggest scurrilously that I left the Room for nicotine intakes. You will know, Mr. Gale, that the Corridor outside this Room is non-smoking. I have not broken that ruling—and my nose is not growing in any way as I make these remarks. I have written two letters to you, Mr. Gale, on points that needed...

Public Transport (Leigh) (15 Mar 2005)

Mr Tony McNulty: ...privatisation, we have had to review the relative priority of major local transport schemes. I would not say as abruptly as my hon.

Transport (15 Jun 2004)

Mr Tony McNulty: ...are difficulties and problems but that everything will be OK if public spending on transport is frozen—or, indeed, cut, as the shadow Chancellor has suggested. The Opposition have given us smoke and mirrors all over again. They agree with the CBI report but are not allowed by the shadow Cabinet to promise to put in the money and funding necessary for the task. That is typical. The...

Public Transport (Overcrowding) (4 Mar 2004)

Mr Tony McNulty: ...our slam-doors, we want them back, and we do not like the new stuff at all"—assuming that such a society is not in existence already. The issue is all about balance. I am stupid enough to smoke, so for all the rather decaying elegance of the slam-door rolling stock, I could not care less because there was a smoking carriage and that was all I wanted, as it was only an hour-long...

Written Answers — Transport: Taxis (10 Jul 2003)

Mr Tony McNulty: We consulted nationally on smoking in taxis in 1999–2000. In March 2001, we announced that while we recognised the merits of banning smoking in taxis, we did not consider that the case was sufficiently strong to make a commitment to legislate when parliamentary time permitted. This was because we were satisfied that the present voluntary approach whereby taxi or private hire vehicle...

Mr Tony McNulty: ...to stop him or her. We are talking about a brand new architecture of governance for London, and the mayor especially and the assembly had better understand that. If they think that it is all about smoke-filled rooms in Charles square, Walworth road, Millbank and wherever the minority parties live these days, they have another thing coming.

Mr Tony McNulty: ...response is that the comprehensive spending review is, "An irresponsible electoral binge, and the country cannot afford it." We listen to another, and the response is, "It is not real. It is all smoke and mirrors. It is all hype." One group is saying that we are spending far too much money and the other that we are not spending money at all because there is no money. Even the hon. Member...

Orders of the Day — Greater London Authority (Referendum) Bill: Referendum (11 Feb 1998)

Mr Tony McNulty: ...most detailed debate. The principal Opposition party may well have some difficulty with pre-legislative referendums, and that is entirely fair and reasonable, but it should not try to hide with smoke and mirrors the fact that the amendment is essentially a wrecking amendment. Baroness Hamwee and others in the other place deserve an ever-so-slight slap on the wrist for not going through...
