Business of the House (14 Jan 2010)

Andrew MacKay: Given that the Leader of the House was sitting next to the Prime Minister at Prime Minister's Question Time yesterday, she will have heard the succinct question from my hon. Friend the Member for Westbury (Dr. Murrison) about the Prime Minister's views on the situation in the western Sahara, and she will know that the Prime Minister became geographically challenged. His reply was confusing...

Oral Answers to Questions — Northern Ireland: Police Recruitment (16 Dec 2009)

Andrew MacKay: That is extremely good news and everybody involved should be congratulated. It has not been easy. Can the Minister give an assurance to the House that once we reach the 30 per cent.-the sooner, the better-the special arrangements will cease and we will return to straightforward recruiting?

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (16 Dec 2009)

Andrew MacKay: The whole House will endorse what the right hon. and learned Lady said about those fallen soldiers, and our thoughts will very much be with their families. However, may I turn to the home front and other families who will be desperately worried that their own loved ones might not return home for Christmas because of the British Airways cabin crew strike? Although there has been good news this...

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Student Visas (14 Dec 2009)

Andrew MacKay: I am not sure that the Minister fully answered the earlier question, watching as I was on the screen in my office, about referees being confirmed as British and suitable for purpose. Will he now answer that question?

Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government: Housing Transactions (8 Dec 2009)

Andrew MacKay: Even without the unpublished figure, which is presumably pretty bad, is this not a sad little tale? It is all hype, spin and nonsense. It is about spending taxpayers' money to set up schemes that have benefited hardly anybody. Would the Minister care to apologise?

Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government: Topical Questions (8 Dec 2009)

Andrew MacKay: Following my earlier question, the Housing Minister responded to my hon. Friend the Member for Wycombe (Mr. Goodman) by saying that 1,800 homes had been purchased through the rent-to-homebuy scheme. That seems at variance with the written answer the Minister gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Welwyn Hatfield (Grant Shapps) on 16 October, when he said that the number was zero. Has the...

Business of the House (3 Dec 2009)

Andrew MacKay: In warmly welcoming the Leader of the House's announcement that there will be a debate on the pre-Budget report, may I ask her to clear up one query? As there is always such a debate, why was she not able to say that there would be one in previous weeks? The reason cannot be her lack of competence. Could it be that the Prime Minister micro-manages everything so much that she is not allowed to...

Oral Answers to Questions — Children, Schools and Families: Afghanistan and Pakistan (30 Nov 2009)

Andrew MacKay: Bearing in mind the fact that in the Prime Minister's last two statements to the House, he has quite rightly stressed the need for all our NATO allies to commit far more troops to Afghanistan and that he has also stressed that he would make great efforts to ensure that would happen, does he understand that it is disappointing and disturbing for many of us that this afternoon he has been...

Points of Order (26 Nov 2009)

Andrew MacKay: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. You will have clearly heard earlier the right hon. Member for Rotherham (Mr. MacShane) refer to a Member of the other place as "corrupt". That was not only wrong, but unparliamentary. The right hon. Gentleman has now left the Chamber. What arrangements can be made for him to return to the Chamber and withdraw the unwarranted remarks?

Business of the House (26 Nov 2009)

Andrew MacKay: In every single previous year, the appropriate Secretary of State has come to the Dispatch Box to give an oral statement on the local government settlement, and there has been, entirely separately, a pre-Budget report from the Chancellor. Why is that not happening this year, and what have the Government got to hide?

Oral Answers to Questions — House of Commons Commission: Energy Efficiency (House of Commons) (26 Nov 2009)

Andrew MacKay: Notwithstanding the comprehensive list that the hon. Gentleman has just read out, it seems to many of us in the Palace of Westminster that when the weather is uncharacteristically warm outside it becomes even hotter inside. Most of us have something in our homes called a thermostatic control. Could that not happen here, and save the taxpayer a lot of money?

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (11 Nov 2009)

Business of the House (5 Nov 2009)
