Opposition Day: Disabled People (17 Feb 1987)

Mr Robert Wareing: ...of hospital into an alien environment after six months, only to receive at best inadequate attention and at worst the fate of being completely ignored. In terms of this Government's expenditure on Trident and armaments, implementing section 7 costs very little—very little in terms of the £3·5 billion tax reductions for the very rich. There is no reason why the Government...

Student Support (12 Mar 1986)

Mr Robert Wareing: ...on grants. They talk of the poor taxpayer. "It is not our money," they say, "it is the taxpayers' money." Meanwhile, they are helping out some of the rogues in Johnson Matthey and spending money on Trident as if there were no tomorrow. They do not refer to the taxpayer then. We should ensure that the future is prosperous. We can do that only by making real investment in people. That means...

Orders of the Day — Disabled Persons (Services, Consultation and Representation) Bill (17 Jan 1986)

Mr Robert Wareing: ...we have to have flag days for scanners to screen for breast cancer and to raise funds for kidney machines? What sort of a society is it that allows that to happen? Many people would like to see flag days for Trident, cruise and Polaris. I suggest that there would be few givers. I hope that the Government will look favourably, at least today, on the Bill and will not repeat the shabby...

Social Security (Reform) (18 Jun 1985)

Mr Robert Wareing: ...is now probably limited to a year or two. The Conservatives should be challenged on the cash limits for the social fund. Under this Government, there are cash limits for the social fund to aid poor and disabled people, but there are no cash limits when it comes to Trident or satisfying the greed of the NATO generals. I would never discredit the Government by saying that they have failed,...

Mr Robert Wareing: ...to the House how the Government can cut the real value of the heating allowance to old and disabled people and the housing capital investment programme on the one hand, but allow the cost of Trident to treble on the other hand? Is the right hon. Lady proud of the fact that to millions of our fellow countrymen and women she has become the personification of all that is unjust in our society?

Opposition Day: Local Authorities (Capital Expenditure) (27 Feb 1985)

Mr Robert Wareing: ...Government's economic policy should transcend even the needs of people living in squalor in many of our urban areas, no doubt he would support the profligate expenditure by the same Government on Trident, which the Secretary of State admits has increased in cost threefold or fourfold? What is the difference between the two?

Local Government (Rates) (6 Feb 1985)

Mr Robert Wareing: ...talk to his right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence, who was Secretary of State for the Environment at the time of the Toxteth riots, and ask him how he gets money from the Cabinet. When the Trident programme was introduced, we were told that it would cost £4·3 billion, but last week, taking the exchange rate of June last year, we were told that the cost would be...
