Donate to our crowdfunderDavid Cameron: I refer the hon. Member to the press notice issued by my office on 19 May 2010. A copy is available on the No. 10 website at: http://www.number10.gov.uk/news/latest-news/2010/05/her-maje stys-government-49840 Copies have also been placed in the Library of the House.
David Cameron: I am today outlining machinery of government changes affecting a number of existing Departments of State. These changes are a result of the formation of the coalition Government and will help implement the programme for Government. Further adjustments may be made and announced in due course. The Cabinet Office As previously announced the Deputy Prime Minister has been given special...
Lord Falconer of Thoroton: ...-term Parliament, so that if the turkeys with whom he now associates lose a vote of confidence, they will not have to leave government. What a marvellous sight the coalition is! The language of Cameron and Clegg is the language of love. It reminds me painfully of those "Spitting Image" programmes in the 1980s. Do noble Lords remember the noble Lords, Lord Owen and Lord Steel, and the boy...
David Anderson: ...61,000 said, "No, we do not want that," 13,000 of them saying, "We support the Liberal Democrats." However, they did not support the Liberal Democrats to put the right hon. Member for Witney (Mr Cameron) into No. 10 Downing street. Unfortunately, Members on the Liberal Democrat Benches have let those 13,000 people down, because they have let the Conservatives back in with an agenda that...
Murdo Fraser: ...the Scottish Parliament. By contrast, as my good friend—or, I should say, having heard his speech, my excellent friend—Mike Rumbles reminded us, within three days of becoming Prime Minister, David Cameron was here at Holyrood and then at St Andrew's house to meet the First Minister. There could be no clearer signal of the intention of the new UK Government to have a more fruitful...
Lord Harries of Pentregarth: ..., in a country most people have never heard of, in the remote highlands of that country, people have been celebrating. Dressed in the local costume, they were filmed holding up a large poster of David Cameron. The reason is that the new Prime Minister has met Benny Wanda, a West Papuan leader who was granted political asylum in this country, and because of this meeting these desperate...
Jeremy Lefroy: ...and Rowley Regis (James Morris). Later, I should like to touch on the importance of the Commonwealth, in which I am a great believer. First, however, I want to pay tribute to my predecessor, David Kidney. Mr Kidney represented Stafford for 13 years with a great degree of diligence. He is much loved in the constituency for his work there, but he is also widely respected for the work that he...
David Cameron: I am placing a copy of the new list of Cabinet Committees in the Libraries of both Houses. The details are available on the Cabinet Office website.
David Cameron: Last week I published the "Ministerial Code". Copies of the code have been placed in the Libraries of both Houses and also the Vote Office. The "Ministerial Code" sets out the principles underpinning the standards of conduct expected of Ministers and how they should discharge their duties.
Charles Walker: ...on the Chamber; and it is the first time that I have been in the House with a Conservative Prime Minister, and I would like to pay tribute to my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron). He spent four long, hard years getting us to this position. He made huge personal sacrifices in his life, and I wish him the very best as he leads this country through some difficult times. He...
Baroness Royall of Blaisdon: ...and the many government jobs that Nick Clegg, Vince Cable and Chris Huhne have been given. And why should they not be? The Benches opposite are full of bedfellows as completely natural as those of David Cameron and Nick Clegg themselves. Think of the noble Lord, Lord Greaves, and the noble Lord, Lord Tebbit, or the noble Earl, Lord Ferrers, and the noble Lord, Lord Lester of Herne Hill....
Peter Robinson: With your permission, Mr Speaker, I will answers questions 5 and 9 together. The deputy First Minister and I spoke to the Prime Minister, David Cameron, immediately on his appointment, and we met him last Thursday during his visit to Northern Ireland. In the past week, we also held separate meetings with the Secretary of State, Owen Paterson, and the Northern Ireland Office Minister of State,...
John Bercow: ...made and subscribed the Affirmation required by law: Sir Stuart Bell, for Middlesbrough Thomas Docherty, Dunfermline and West Fife Right honourable John Whitaker Straw, Blackburn Right honourable David Blunkett, Sheffield, Brightside and Hillsborough Right honourable Peter Gerald Hain, Neath Jake Berry, Rossendale and Darwen James Dobbin, Heywood and Middleton Right honourable Kevin John...
Annabel Goldie: That is most encouraging. As Prime Minister, Gordon Brown did not come to the Scottish Parliament in three years; David Cameron came within three days. That is a symbol of the new working relationship between our Governments and our Parliaments. One of David Cameron's first commitments is to order the Treasury to look at the fossil fuel levy, which could release millions of pounds for green...
John Bercow: ...Whips. The following Members took and subscribed the Oath, or made and subscribed the Affirmation, required by law: Sir Peter Hannay Bailey Tapsell, for Louth and Horncastle Right honourable David William Donald Cameron, Witney Right honourable Nicholas William Peter Clegg, Sheffield, Hallam Right honourable William Jefferson Hague, Richmond (Yorks ) Right honourable George Gideon Oliver...
David Cameron: Thank you, Mr Speaker-Elect. On behalf of the whole House, may I be the first to offer you congratulations on your election? I note this is your second electoral success this month. I have to say that there were times during the general election when I was a little concerned about your safe return to Parliament, but I am glad to see that the mostly Conservative-inclined voters of Buckingham...
Paul Butler: .... The recent Westminster election underlined how far down the list of the British Government’s priorities the North is: it was not mentioned even once during the election campaign, and, when David Cameron mentioned it, it was to say how many cuts he would make in the North if he became Prime Minister. An issue on which there has been some convergence of opinion recently among the...
Iain Gray: ...mind 20. Yes, there are £6 billion of cuts coming from the Con-Dem parties over there, but this is the alliance that Alex Salmond is part of: cuts, cuts, cuts. Yesterday, Alex Salmond wrote to David Cameron, telling him that he does not want cuts here. Can I suggest that he uses his mighty hand to write to his Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing to tell her that we do not want her...
Annabel Goldie: To ask the First Minister when he will next meet the Prime Minister, David Cameron. (S3F-2387)
Murdo Fraser: ...consultation might lead to the Parliament being overlooked. It is therefore essential to establish a good working relationship with Westminster to ensure that we are consulted on relevant issues. David Cameron has pledged to strengthen the working relationship between the UK and Scottish Governments and I am sure that the new Secretary of State for Scotland will play a role in that...
