I wish to present a petition to the House from Mr. Ron Holden and residents of the constituency of Tiverton and Honiton in Devon.

The petition states:

The Petition of residents of the constituency of Tiverton and Honiton in the Devon region of England regarding the Government's response to the Parliamentary Ombudsman's reports on Equitable Life,

Declares that the Petitioners either are or they represent or support members, former members or personal representatives of deceased members of the Equitable Life Assurance Society who have suffered maladministration leading to injustice, as found by the Parliamentary Ombudsman in her report upon Equitable Life, ordered by the House of Commons to be printed on 16 July 2008 and bearing reference number HC 815; and further declares that the Petitioners or those whom they represent or support have suffered regulatory failure on the part of the public bodies responsible from the year 1992 onwards, but have not received compensation for the resulting losses and outrage.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to uphold the constitutional standing of the Parliamentary Ombudsman by complying with the findings and recommendations of her Report upon Equitable Life.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.

[P000421]

— from debate entitled “Equitable Life (Tiverton and Honiton)”

1. Have a quick scan of the speech under the video, then press “Play”.
2. When you hear the start of that speech, press “Now!”.
3. The timestamped video will then appear on TheyWorkForYou – thanks from everyone who uses the site :)

Some videos will be miles out – if you can't find the right point, don't worry, just try another speech!

• Sign in if you want to get on the Top Timestampers league table!
• If the video suddenly jumps a couple of hours, or otherwise appears broken, let us know.
• If the speech you're looking for is beyond the end of the video, move on to the next video chunk.
• If you're right at the start of a day, it's quite possible the start of the video will be the end of the previous programme on BBC Parliament, skip ahead some minutes to check :)
• Hansard is not a verbatim transcript, so spoken words might differ slightly from the printed version. And a small note – if the speech you are looking out for is an oral question (questions asked in the first hour or so of Monday–Thursdays in the Commons), then all the MP will actually say is their question number, e.g. “Number Two”.
• The skip buttons move in 30 second increments (you can go back before the start point), and you can access a slider by hovering over the video.
