The reorganisation of maternity services in Greater Manchester was necessary—

Debate on the Address: Health and Education (11 Dec 2008)

David Chaytor: It was necessary because—

Debate on the Address: Health and Education (11 Dec 2008)

David Chaytor: Before we leave the topic of the reorganisation of maternity services and the development of much stronger community-based maternity services, is not the great irony for the Opposition that, if they had pursued their policy of listening to the medical profession without any interference from primary care trusts, acute trusts or the Department of Health, the changes would have been made many...

Business of the House (11 Dec 2008)

David Chaytor: May we have a debate on the role and powers of local authority trading standards services, because as trading conditions get more difficult, the likelihood is that there will be more disputes between consumers and retailers? I shall tell the Leader of the House about the long struggle that my constituent, Mr. James McMahon, has had with the major national company, Everest Windows, to get...

European Affairs ( 9 Dec 2008)

David Chaytor: Is the reality not that the impact of the financial crisis has changed public opinion? More than ever, the British people understand that we can start to solve the crisis only through co-operation with our European partners, which is the point that the Conservative party cannot stomach.

European Affairs ( 9 Dec 2008)

David Chaytor: It is not true.

Business of the House: Safeguarding Children (20 Nov 2008)

David Chaytor: Is it not the case that there are significant variations in the proportion of children at risk who are taken into care not only between the UK and other European countries, where outcomes have generally been better for many years, but between English local authorities? If there has been a move in the UK towards being more reluctant to put children in care, could that be because, for many...

Business of the House (20 Nov 2008)

David Chaytor: Twice in the past 18 years—in Bosnia and in Rwanda—western Governments have been reluctant to intervene in ethnic conflicts that subsequently escalated into genocide. This month, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is on the brink of another civil war, only two years after its presidential election, following 10 years of civil war and 35 years of dictatorship. The Prime Minister, the...

Oral Answers to Questions — Innovation, Universities and Skills: Higher Education (20 Nov 2008)

David Chaytor: Does the Secretary of State think that it is remotely conceivable that our leading research-intensive universities can remain internationally competitive without a lifting of the current cap on fees? Does he agree that the real issue is not the raising of the cap, but the provision of the right mix of grants and scholarships to ensure that the brightest young people, whatever their family...

Oral Answers to Questions — Children, Schools and Families: Sure Start (17 Nov 2008)

David Chaytor: I thank the Minister for her recent visit to my constituency to see the work in progress at Broad Oak high school, which is the most recent high school to have a children's centre located on site. In view of the remarkable achievements of children's centres and their great popularity with parents, will she tell the House whether there is now cross-party consensus on the future development and...

Business of the House (13 Nov 2008)

David Chaytor: For the best part of 40 years, since the Government of Harold Wilson established the excellent Girobank, the Post Office has been involved in one way or another with banking services. In view of last week's interesting suggestion by Lord Mandelson about a possible future role for the Post Office in banking services, and regardless of what our right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Work...

Energy and Climate Change: Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Road Transport) (13 Nov 2008)

David Chaytor: What his most recent estimate is of the proportion of UK greenhouse gas emissions attributable to the road transport sector.

Energy and Climate Change: Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Road Transport) (13 Nov 2008)

David Chaytor: Does my hon. Friend agree that the use of graduated vehicle excise duty is an important measure in reducing emissions from road transport? Does she also agree that exempting the current vehicle fleet from graduated VED—for which the forces of conservatism on both sides of the House have lobbied—would be counter-productive to the Government's climate change strategy? Will she speak to her...

Energy and Climate Change: Topical Questions (13 Nov 2008)

David Chaytor: In four weeks, the UN climate change conference in Poznan will consider the European Union's climate change and renewable energy package.

Business of the House (30 Oct 2008)

David Chaytor: At the end of next month, the ballot papers will go out to every household in Greater Manchester for the referendum on the future of public transport in the region. The proposals include an element of peak period congestion charging. As we have been reminded, in our discussions on the Local Transport Bill on Monday we were not able to consider the amendments on road pricing. Will my right...

Business of the House: Standing Orders Etc. (Energy and Climate Change) (28 Oct 2008)

David Chaytor: The representatives of the smaller parties have made several valid points and I support the comments that the Chairmen of the two Select Committees made. I especially want to reiterate the argument presented by the Chairman of the Environmental Audit Committee, of which I am a member. In his opening remarks, the Deputy Leader of the House recognised the Environmental Audit Committee's...

Business of the House: Standing Orders Etc. (Energy and Climate Change) (28 Oct 2008)

David Chaytor: I am grateful for those comments. The conclusion that I draw from the anomaly is that, while the fact that existing Select Committees have a forward programme of work in place supports the case for making no change until 1 January, we also need to review the terms of reference of all the affected Select Committees. The Deputy Leader of the House said that he wanted to review the...

Orders of the Day: New Clause 16 — Carbon emissions reduction targets (28 Oct 2008)

David Chaytor: Would my hon. Friend accept that we have an opportunity to revisit the 2016 zero carbon target and bring it forward? That target was set when our ambition was to build 3 million homes by 2020—a quarter of a million homes, or more, a year—and given the state of the housing market and the housing industry, those homes will not be built in the next two, three or four years unless the...
