Donate to our crowdfunderDavid Borrow: ...from which many of the aircraft will fly-that is not necessarily true of all parties in the House. I was interested to read the comments of my hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow, South-West (Mr. Davidson) in a debate on 1 March. My hon. Friend talked about shipyard conveners visiting Opposition parties. They came away reasonably happy from a meeting with the Liberal Democrats: "However,...
Lord Davies of Oldham: ...in the course of this debate. Divergences among the Members of the Opposition about their economic policies has stood out-divergences that are reflected in approaches to this issue as well. When David Cameron went to Scotland he indicated that he did not foresee-I concede that this was a couple of years ago-any real changes with regard to the Barnett formula. I wonder why that speech was...
David Cameron: May I first echo what the Prime Minister said about Michael Foot? Obviously, I did not serve with him in the Commons, but I have always admired his writing, his brilliant oratory and, above all, his dedication to this House of Commons. While I did not agree with much of what he said, not least about the Soviet Union and disarmament, he held all his views with conviction and with passion, and...
Jonathan Bell: Thank you, Mr Speaker. The Member makes his point well. I thank the leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition, Mr David Cameron, and the shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland who have shown statesmanship in their support of what the Assembly is doing today. It appears that, for the Conservative Party, putting the best interests of Northern Ireland first is more important that the paltry...

Sadiq Khan: I, too, congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Inverclyde (David Cairns) on his success in the ballot. Last night, I read the ten-minute Bill speech that he delivered on 20 October, and he referred in his introduction to the tragedy that occurred on 19 December 2007, when the Greenock-based tug, the Flying Phantom, sank in thick fog on the River Clyde with the loss of three of her...
Baroness Morris of Bolton: ...in this journey; men such as my right honourable friend Iain Duncan Smith, who first tasked the party with looking more like the country it aspired to lead, and then my right honourable friend David Cameron, who took action immediately he became leader to promote candidate diversity. With determined women and enlightened men there is hope that one day we will live in a world where women...
Baroness Noakes: ...was a way of conferring a range of civil rights on same-sex partners. But the truth is that civil partnerships are about relationships and commitment. In turn, as my right honourable friend David Cameron said at our conference last autumn, these things are the bedrock of our society. For some, that commitment is enhanced and deepened by an element of religious ceremony. I believe that if...
Baroness Morris of Bolton: My Lords, my right honourable friend David Cameron made clear in his evidence session to the Speaker's Conference that he accepted the principle of reporting candidate data, as, indeed, did all the leaders of the main political parties. He explained that the desire and determination to make progress on the diversity of our candidates means that we monitor closely their gender, ethnicity and...

It is good to see another woman moving forward in the business world, particularly in manufacturing. Wales, too, needs to move...

I fully associate this side with that full and whole-hearted apology, as has my right honourable friend David Cameron. We also join the noble Baroness in sending those very sincere apologies to those affected who are attending all the events today. We share the respect rightly accorded to Margaret...
David Cameron: On behalf of the Opposition, I welcome what the Prime Minister has said and the moving words of the Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who spoke last November of "the tragedy-the absolute tragedy-of childhoods lost." This was something that happened under British Governments of all parties, and the apology made is on behalf of all of us. We on the Conservative Benches join the Prime...
