Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: Let me reassure Nina that there is absolutely no chance of that happening to someone in those circumstances. We are working hard to do what we want, which is to give a guarantee to EU citizens that they will have their rights respected—all those who have come to this country. The only circumstance in which I could ever envisage a future Government trying to undo that guarantee would be if...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: I do not really have a pasa doble, so I can promise that that is not the case. Let me thank the right hon. Gentleman for his kind remarks and good wishes to my amazing wife Samantha and my lovely children, who are all watching from the Gallery today. He is absolutely right: the pressure in these jobs often bears hardest on those we love around us. Let me send my best wishes to his family as...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: Those words mean a lot from my right hon. Friend, who has spent so much time in this House. It is a special place. I think Prime Minister’s questions, for all its theatrics, does have a purpose, because it is a time when every week the Prime Minister has to know absolutely everything that is going on in Whitehall. Often you find out things that you want to stop pretty quickly before 12...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: First, let me join the right hon. Gentleman in paying tribute to all those who lost their lives in Srebrenica. We should make sure that we commemorate the event properly every year. This year there will be a service in the Foreign Office, where commemoration will be given and testimony read out. We should think of it alongside the terrible events of modern history such as the holocaust. This...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: First of all, specifically on the Brain family, Mrs Brain came to this country on a tier 4 student visa to study for a Scottish history degree. She completed it and her husband and son came as dependants. We have given them an extension until 1 August to put in an application for a work visa in the normal way, and I very much hope that will happen. On Trident, there will be a vote in this...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: I thank my hon. Friend for what she says about the cancer drugs fund, which has helped many people and families in our country. She is absolutely right to raise the issue of contaminated blood, and I can today announce that we will spend the extra £125 million that we have identified. A much fairer and more comprehensive scheme will guarantee that all those infected will, for the first time,...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: On the economic record, 2.5 million more jobs, the deficit cut by two thirds, 2.9 million apprenticeships, a million more businesses, and a growth rate that has been at the top of the developed world are all because of the choices that we made. Because we did that, we have been able to back our NHS with a 10% funding increase, which is more than £10 billion in real terms in this Parliament....

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: I thank my hon. Friend for his kind remarks. When it comes to education, there is a very strong record to build on. We have 1.4 million more children in good or outstanding schools than in 2010. We have seen the free school movement really take off, with over 300 free schools open. I visited one yesterday that is outstanding, as a quarter of them are, which is an amazing record when we think...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: I thank the hon. Gentleman for his kind remarks. I try to answer questions from this Dispatch Box, but it is difficult sometimes when I have not seen the specific story, and I have not in this case. I recall from previous occasions that we are still investing in cataract operations and that the number of people receiving them is going up. However, I will look carefully—this afternoon—at...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: The figures are remarkable—when a constituency gets to an unemployment rate of 1.9%, that is very close to full employment. We had 2.4 million apprenticeships in the previous Parliament, and there are already an extra 500,000 in this Parliament, taking us towards the target of 3 million in this Parliament. I am confident that we can achieve that target if we work hard. These are not just...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: I absolutely agree with the hon. Gentleman. We have seen in the west midlands 173,000 more people in work under this Government. We have seen something of a renaissance in manufacturing, particularly in the automotive sector, some of which is, indeed, in the black country. It is vital for that industry that we have proper access to the single market. I think he is right; this is one of the...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: I thank my hon. Friend for his kind remarks. We have seen unemployment fall in all these constituencies and the claimant count going down. More importantly, we now see 450,000 fewer children in households in which nobody works. Think of the effect of having a parent or a loved one in work helping to put food on the table and providing a role model for their children. That is really what this...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: What I say to the hon. Lady, and indeed to all SNP Members, is that when Lord Smith himself says that the vow to create a powerhouse Parliament was kept, the SNP should pay attention to that, and recognise that a promise was made and a promise was delivered. I have talked many times at this Dispatch Box about creating this powerhouse Parliament; what I have not seen is the SNP using any of...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (13 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: I thank my right hon. and learned Friend for his very kind remarks. I remember that one of the toughest conversations I had in politics was when I was Leader of the Opposition and I was trying to get him to join my Front Bench. He was on a bird-watching holiday in Patagonia; it was almost impossible to persuade him to come back. Not many people know this, but my right hon. and learned...

Written Answers — Prime Minister: UK Withdrawal from EU (11 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Ilford South during my Oral Statement on the Outcome of the EU Referendum on 27 June 2016, Official Report, column 40.

Written Answers — Prime Minister: Armed Conflict: Parliamentary Scrutiny (11 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: I refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Filton and Bradley Stoke (Mr Lopresti) during my Oral Statement on the Report of the Iraq Inquiry on 6 July 2016, Official Report, column 904.

Written Ministerial Statements — Prime Minister: Annual Report of the Chief Surveillance Commissioner and Report on the use of Section 94 Directions by the Interception of Communications Commissioner ( 7 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: I have today laid before both Houses a copy of the latest annual report from the Chief Surveillance Commissioner and a copy of a report by the Interception of Communications Commissioner on his oversight of directions issued under section 94 of the Telecommunications Act 1984. Both reports provide rigorous and independent oversight and scrutiny of the use of covert investigatory powers. The...

Report of the Iraq Inquiry ( 6 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: Let me briefly respond to that, because I want to leave as much time as I can for colleagues to make their points. I think the right hon. Gentleman is right to praise the families for the dignity that they have shown. I understand the regret over the time taken, and I think we all feel that. The only point I would make is that when you have an independent report, you have to allow it to be...

Report of the Iraq Inquiry ( 6 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: My right hon. and learned Friend makes good points. Let me respond. In terms of Cabinet responsibility, yes, before a decision such as this is made we need to have a Cabinet meeting and Cabinet discussion, but I would not try to substitute that for the work that the NSC now does, in which the head of MI5, the head of MI6 and the Chief of the Defence Staff are around the table. They sit there...

Report of the Iraq Inquiry ( 6 Jul 2016)

David Cameron: I thank the right hon. Gentleman for his remarks. He rightly said that it is a sombre day—he is absolutely correct. He highlighted a number of the very serious mistakes that were made, not least on planning for the aftermath. He asked specifically why I did not mention the specific Tony Blair note to President Bush. I was trying to be very careful in my statement to accurately summarise...
