Covid-19: Aviation ( 3 Jun 2020)

Theresa May: I refer the House to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. Aviation supports 1 million jobs in the UK, including 114,000 in aerospace and 1,700 in my constituency, and international air travel is necessary for trade; without it, there is no global Britain. Given that, instead of introducing measures to close Britain off to the rest of the world, why are the Government...

Prime Minister: Engagements ( 3 Jun 2020)

Theresa May: My right hon. Friend has rightly been focusing on keeping people safe, but that task goes beyond covid-19, so can he give me the reassurance that as from 1 January 2021, the UK will have access to the quantity and quality of data that it currently has through Prüm, passenger name records, the European Criminal Records Information System and SIS—Schengen Information System—II, none of...

Covid-19 (12 May 2020)

Theresa May: First, I pay tribute to all those in the NHS, in care homes and in other settings for working so hard to save lives. But I also pay tribute to all those other workers—the people in local authorities and the emergency services, and others, as well as volunteers, including those in communities across my Maidenhead constituency, who are ensuring that the country can keep going. Let me say to...

Covid-19: Transport (12 May 2020)

Theresa May: I refer the House to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. The Prime Minister said that aviation is crucial for our country and our economy. I received a letter yesterday from the Secretary of State telling me that aviation supports more than half a million jobs, and about 1,700 of those workers are in my constituency. Aviation underpins the global reach of our economy,...

Domestic Abuse Bill (28 Apr 2020)

Theresa May: Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. May I add my thanks to all those who have made this hybrid debate possible, because this Bill is hugely important? Domestic abuse damages lives. It can cost lives and it can scar adults and children for the rest of their lives. Of course, it also costs our society and economy dear. We all owe a debt of gratitude to those who have had courage to speak out about...

Windrush Lessons Learned Review (19 Mar 2020)

Theresa May: May I first associate myself with the unqualified apology that the Home Secretary has given to the Windrush generation? I have given my own apology previously, but I do so again today. This generation came here, they were British, they were here legally, they worked to build our country and they should not have been treated in this way. I recognise the commitment that my right hon. Friend has...

Prime Minister: Engagements (18 Mar 2020)

Theresa May: My right hon. Friend is rightly engrossed day to day in dealing with the developments of covid-19, but I would like to ask him to cast his mind a little further forward. The chief scientific adviser and the chief medical officer have been clear that the best solution to this is a vaccine, but the chief scientific adviser has said that that could be as much as a year away. He has also...

Covid-19 (16 Mar 2020)

Theresa May: May I join the Secretary of State, and the shadow Secretary of State, in commending and paying tribute to all who work in our national health service, on whom we rely from day to day, but on whom we rely all the more under these conditions? May I press the Secretary of State on two points that have been raised by others? The advice from the World Health Organisation was very clear: test,...

Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2020)

Theresa May: There is no doubt that, as my right hon. Friend the Chancellor and other speakers have acknowledged, this Budget has had to be delivered against the very difficult background of the coronavirus. We had already seen a slowing in world growth and expectations of that in the coming months, and we have now also seen the negative impacts for economies around the world of the coronavirus. These are...

Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2020)

Theresa May: I thank my hon. Friend for her intervention. She is right to refer to the hospitality sector and the various elements of business within it, and the impact that the positive measures that the Chancellor has introduced will have on South Derbyshire, as they will on my constituency and constituencies across the country. This was a difficult Budget to deliver, but I commend the Chancellor for...

Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2020)

Theresa May: I thank my hon. Friend for intervening. That is important—one of the interesting and exciting aspects of where we are going as a Government is the emphasis on science and on recognising that, if we are to have the economy of the future, we have to generate and develop ideas that will deliver prosperity for the future. On the subject of ideas, I should say that people are very important. The...

Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2020)

Theresa May: Obviously, the hon. Gentleman is absolutely right that commitments were made in that agreement. I am sure the Government will look very closely at how they can deliver on those commitments. The figures that have been announced in the Budget are the Barnett consequentials of the decisions that the Government have taken, but I am sure that he will have an opportunity to raise that matter...

Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2020)

Theresa May: I will not give way. If I allow the right hon. Gentleman to intervene, the time will be taken out of my time, so I apologise for not doing so. I simply want to make this point: it is important that we take a holistic approach to the use of funds from the shared prosperity fund, so that we genuinely deliver that country that works for everyone. To conclude, I simply say that a country that...

Written Answers — Home Office: Daniel Morgan Independent Panel ( 3 Mar 2020)

Theresa May: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the timeframe is for the publication of the report of the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel.

Terrorist Offenders (Restriction of Early Release) Bill (12 Feb 2020)

Theresa May: My right hon. and learned Friend raises the issue of risk. He and the Government are absolutely right to be addressing the question of the automatic early release of terrorist offenders, but terrorist offenders will still be released at some point. That is why rehabilitation—the work that is done both in prison and when they are out of prison—is so important. There have been many efforts...

Rail Services: Maidenhead, Twyford and Branch Lines — [Sir David Amess in the Chair] ( 5 Feb 2020)

Theresa May: I am grateful to the Minister for recognising the point I made about the balance between Crossrail and Great Western, but the point is that there needs to be a choice for constituents at Maidenhead so those who want a fast service can still get a decent fast service—and a good number of them. The danger is that it sounds as if the industry—I hope the Department is not thinking this—is...

Rail Services: Maidenhead, Twyford and Branch Lines — [Sir David Amess in the Chair] ( 5 Feb 2020)

Theresa May: I beg to move, That this House has considered rail services for Maidenhead, Twyford and linking branch lines. I am pleased to have obtained this debate, because the train services in my constituency—for the mainline stations of Maidenhead and Twyford, and the branch line stations of Wargrave, Furze Platt and Cookham—are absolutely critical for my constituents and local businesses. Many of...

Rail Services: Maidenhead, Twyford and Branch Lines — [Sir David Amess in the Chair] ( 5 Feb 2020)

Theresa May: The western rail link to Heathrow has been an issue throughout most of my time in Parliament. It has long been talked about, plans have been drawn up and people have looked at it. It has overwhelming support from business, different constituents and different political parties locally. It is something that global Britain would definitely benefit from having. I certainly support the hon....

Rail Services: Maidenhead, Twyford and Branch Lines — [Sir David Amess in the Chair] ( 5 Feb 2020)

Theresa May: I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend. It is as important that we ensure services on the branch line, and that those of his constituents who wish to come to Twyford to use its services directly are able to park. That would also be in the interests of my constituents who live in the Twyford streets that those individuals would otherwise be parking in. Those are issues with the current...
