Oral Answers to Questions — Education and Science: Undergraduate Course Applications (27 Feb 1990)

Andrew Mitchell: In view of the widespread welcome that the Government's plans for expanding the higher sector of education have received and the fact that they must also be paid for, is it not perfectly fair, right and proper that students themselves should make some modest contribution to the expense of implementing those plans?

National Health Service and Community Care Bill (Allocation of Time): Interpretation (14 Mar 1990)

Andrew Mitchell: It seems that my amendment No. 158 is not likely to be reached this evening. My right hon. and learned Friend knows the great importance attached to extending and clarifying the role of the Audit Commission. Is my understanding correct that, in its place on the amendment paper this amendment will now receive Government support?

Business of the House (29 Mar 1990)

Andrew Mitchell: Will my right hon. and learned Friend find time for a debate on the valuable work undertaken by the Audit Commission? Many hon.

Andrew Mitchell: Further to the intervention by my hon. Friend for Hendon, South (Mr. Marshall) has my hon. Friend noticed that clause 1 does not apply to Scotland, but that clause 2 does? Does she not find that an extraordinary anomaly? In tune with what my hon. Friend said about Northern Ireland, should that not be addressed at this stage so that we can do something about it?

Orders of the Day — Licensing (Low Alcohol Drinks) Bill: Low Alcohol Liquor Not to Be Intoxicating Liquor for the Purposes of the Licensing Act 1964 (20 Apr 1990)

Andrew Mitchell: Let me add to the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Hendon, South. My experience in Scotland is entirely the opposite of what my hon. Friend suggests.

Staying near Tain on Easter Ross, I found it extremely difficult to find a drink at all. One has to...

Andrew Mitchell: I want to go back to the point about territoriality and the question whether the Bill applies outside our shores. My hon.
