Oral Answers to Questions — Work and Pensions: Jobcentre Plus (31 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: I am not quite sure of the Minister's definition of an answer. For my constituents, who have to rely on the regional office in Canterbury, the problems are still great. They would just laugh if they heard the answer to that question.

Topical Debate: Standards and Privileges (27 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: Would the hon. Gentleman really be comfortable with public advertising of vacancies for our staff? This is a sensitive area. Would he really want a Tory secretary, for example? Would I really want a Lib Dem researcher? I think possibly not.

Business of the House (27 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: As the Leader of the House seems to be in a responsive mood, may I refer her to next Monday's business? The House faces the problem of considerable congestion, because the Housing and Regeneration Bill, with all those Government amendments—and Opposition amendments as well—is likely to take the whole day, yet we also have an important order on Northern Rock to debate. Will she reflect and...

Oral Answers to Questions — Northern Ireland: Paramilitary Organisations (26 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: The Secretary of State must be concerned about the apparent increase in paramilitary beatings, especially in some of the most deprived districts across the Province.

Business of the House (20 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: May I tempt the Leader of the House to be a bit more enthusiastic about having a debate on Tibet? She merely says that she notes that it might be a subject for a topical debate, but that is not very enthusiastic. Can she tell me any subject that is likely to be more topical next Thursday than what is going on in Tibet?

Points of Order (18 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. This morning you will have noticed news coverage of the Secretary of State for Defence trying to gag coroners by taking legal action. Have you had a request from the Secretary of State to come to the Dispatch Box and make a statement on this important matter?

Oral Answers to Questions — Children, Schools and Families: European Council (17 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: Why did the Prime Minister not answer the question about the future of Peter Mandelson as our European Commissioner? Surely he should be putting his right hon. Friend the Member for Leicester, West (Ms Hewitt) out of her misery.

Amendment of the Law: Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation (13 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: On the point of late substitutions, the Secretary of State will be aware that stories are circulating widely today that the Chancellor changed his growth forecasts in the last few hours before the Budget statement and changed them upwards. Does the Secretary of State think that is true and does he also think that the Chancellor will live to regret that change?

Business of the House (13 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: Turning to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill, and bearing in mind that the Leader of the House and I have been veterans of much similar legislation over the years and that we have usually been on the same side of the argument, may I put it to her that it is in the interests of this House that when there are issues of conscience, as there are in respect of this proposed legislation,...

Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Carrier Bags (13 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: Does the Minister not understand that the Chancellor's proposals would be much more welcome if the tax raised was ploughed back into environmental charities? Otherwise, it will just look like another stealth tax.

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (12 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: When the Prime Minister was Chancellor of the Exchequer, it was widely spun that he gave Tony Blair only two days' notice of his Budget proposals. Can we assume that the current Chancellor has been more co-operative?

Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Prison Overcrowding (11 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: Should courts not be obliged to set minimum sentences in every single case, thus eradicating at a stroke the scandal of prisoners being released early just because of prison overcrowding, rather than because it is in the national interest?

Business of the House (6 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: Following the serious and well-publicised problems in Scotland last May, when we had multiple elections, will the Leader of the House ensure that a Minister comes to the Dispatch Box next week to assure us that the European and local elections—and, possibly, a general election next year—will not all take place on the same day, causing confusion?

Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Northern Rock (Granite) (6 Mar 2008)

Andrew MacKay: Does the Chief Secretary recall that Ministers kept reassuring us that Northern Rock had a very strong loan book?
