Lynne Jones: If it really is not possible to prosecute such people-although the use of intercept evidence ought to be an option-why not simply put them under surveillance? Given the small number involved, and the cost of the legislation and possible litigation, would that not be cheaper and more effective, especially as a number of those subject to control orders have absconded?
Lynne Jones: What recent research he has (a) commissioned and (b) evaluated into the scientific case for man-made climate change; and if he will make a statement.
Lynne Jones: I thank my hon. Friend for that answer. In this country, there has been a broad consensus that the risk of dangerous climate change is real. It is based on broad and deep scientific evidence, with acknowledged uncertainties, that we cannot go on pumping billions of tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere without serious adverse effects. Does she agree that, if we are to continue to...

Lynne Jones: Will the hon. Gentleman give way?
Lynne Jones: The Government may have a manifesto mandate, but surely the whole point of legislative scrutiny should be to establish whether the legislation that they propose will be effective in fulfilling that mandate.
Lynne Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what steps he plans to take to implement a personal carbon incentive scheme; when the scheme will be introduced; and how it will operate.
Lynne Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what minimum professional qualification is required of those who carry out work capability assessments for her Department.
Lynne Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what assessment he has made of the level of access to independent mental health advocates by qualifying patients in (a) Birmingham and (b) England; (2) which primary care trusts (a) have and (b) have not commissioned independent mental health advocate (IMHA) services; and if he will establish a national database of IMHA services.
Lynne Jones: Those of us who feel that we ought to move to a more proportional system cannot support the Liberal Democrat proposal, because it would break the link between the Member and the constituency. I would find it absolutely onerous to be a Member of Parliament representing the whole of Birmingham, for example, along with other Members. Why are the Liberal Democrats not supporting the proposal put...
Lynne Jones: My right hon. Friend has suggested that his own preference is for AV, but the Government set up a royal commission to look into this matter, and I wonder why they are not proposing to put forward the recommendation of the Jenkins commission in the referendum. It would certainly not be tainted by any party political considerations.
Lynne Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many and what proportion of appeals to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) against police investigations of complaints were upheld in each of the last three years; and how many such appeals resulted in a re-investigation (a) undertaken by the police, (b) supervised by the IPCC, (c) managed by the IPCC and (d)...

Lynne Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether (a) his Department and (b) each of its agencies have plans to sign up to the 10:10 campaign to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10 per cent. in 2010.
Lynne Jones: rose-
Lynne Jones: Does the Minister intend to address my point about predatory takeovers and the involvement of hedge funds?
Lynne Jones: A week today, we will know whether Cadbury shareholders have succumbed to the offer from Kraft, worth 850p a share. There is still time for investors to look to the long-term value of the company, which is currently in good health, with no debts. In contrast, Kraft's debts will have gone from $10 billion in 2006 to $30 billion if it succeeds in taking over Cadbury. However, the signs that...
Lynne Jones: That is exactly right. My hon. Friend makes my point for me.
