Questions to the Mayor of London — Priorities for London: Priorities for London (29 Jul 2019)
Sadiq Khan: ...to make London a fairer city where all Londoners get the opportunities that our city gave to me and my family. I am proud that despite years of Government cuts and austerity supported by the Conservative Assembly Members around the Chamber, which devastated our city and our public services, we are delivering the changes that Londoners want to see. We have prioritised tackling violent crime...
Summer Adjournment (25 Jul 2019)
Lloyd Russell-Moyle: ...schools in my constituency: Moulsecoomb primary school and Peacehaven community school. They are at opposite ends of my constituency and in different local authorities, one Labour-controlled, one Conservative-controlled. Moulsecoomb primary school has had a total funding cut of £388,000, equivalent to £595 per pupil, since 2015, and in the last 12 months it has lost 11 staff,...
Priorities for the Government - Statement (25 Jul 2019)
Baroness Smith of Newnham: I am grateful to the Minister for repeating what appeared to be the Prime Minister’s, or the Conservative Party’s, election manifesto—whenever the election comes. There were so many priorities that it was difficult to see any priority. But one issue that came out, as my noble friend Lord Newby pointed out, is that of a points-based immigration system. The Prime Minister indicated that...
Mental Health Act 1983 — [Ms Karen Buck in the Chair] (25 Jul 2019)
Neil Coyle: ...decision is made.” Our right to make bad decisions is enshrined in legislation. I apologise to any smokers present, but they make a bad choice every time they light a cigarette, and arguably the Conservative party has chosen badly in selecting the right hon. Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson). The fourth and fifth principles are: “An act done, or decision made,...
United Kingdom’s Ambassador to the United States: Leaked Messages - Question for Short Debate (25 Jul 2019)
Baroness Smith of Newnham: ...10 yesterday and in the House of Commons earlier today. However, we have heard no real commitment to foreign policy. When the leak happened, the response of Boris Johnson—then a candidate for the Conservative leadership—was strange. I would have assumed that, in the context of a leak, the person who is at fault is not the one who has been leaked but the one who has done the leaking. As...
Priorities for Government (25 Jul 2019)
Boris Johnson: ...—a policy promulgated by this Government—have increased by £4,500, for those who are on it, since 2010, and wages are now rising faster than inflation for the first time in a decade. It is the Conservative party that is committed to higher wages and higher skills; the Labour party wants higher taxes and fewer jobs.
Speaker’S Statement: Business of the House (25 Jul 2019)
Valerie Vaz: ...for Aylesbury (Mr Lidington), who has stood down from his Front-Bench post after 20 years. He started as a special adviser to Douglas Hurd. I hope we see the like of those people again in the Conservative party. I, too, want to pay tribute to Paul Evans, who has been absolutely fantastic. He has had a distinguished career in the House. He has been very supportive when I have asked him...
Council of Europe: House of Lords Members’ Contribution - Question for Short Debate (24 Jul 2019)
Lord Russell of Liverpool: ...describe it as very educational. I am the only member of the UK delegation who is politically unaffiliated—I am the only representative of the 180-odd Cross-Benchers. I sit with the European Conservatives Group because that happens to be the political grouping of the Government of today. Should there be a general election and our new Prime Minister gets it wrong, as he is quite capable...
Birmingham Commonwealth Games Bill [HL] - Report: Amendment 2 (24 Jul 2019)
Lord Snape: ...million gap, which must be closed before the Commonwealth Games go ahead. If the gap cannot be closed in this way, how will it be closed? Perhaps the noble Lord who speaks on behalf of the Liberal party should not knock an idea that seems enormously attractive to me. I fought three elections as a local councillor, only one of which was successful. If I were still a member of my local...
Arrangement of Business - Announcement (24 Jul 2019)
Baroness Smith of Basildon: I am grateful to the Chief Whip for that response—probably. I can tell him that I had a letter from one of the candidates in the Conservative Party leadership election who was not very happy about the idea of a Joint Committee, but that was Jeremy Hunt and he lost, so I was rather hoping that the new Prime Minister might be a little more sympathetic. In his final hours as Chief Whip, might...
Local Housing Allowance and Homelessness — [Mr Adrian Bailey in the Chair] (24 Jul 2019)
Eddie Hughes: ...it. I frequently agree with her. I felt the need to speak in this debate because I was concerned that too many Opposition Members would make it seem like a world of doom and gloom, as if the Conservative party was doing nothing to support homeless people—I understand it to be the opposite. Immediately before coming to Parliament, I had been with YMCA Birmingham for three years. Just...
Oral Answers to Questions — Scotland: 20 Years of Devolution (24 Jul 2019)
David Mundell: If that was a question about a separate English Parliament, I should say that I am clear, as is the new leader of the Conservative party, that England does not need its own separate Parliament.
Oral Answers to Questions — Scotland: Leaving the EU: Effect on the Union (24 Jul 2019)
Ian Murray: ...by his promises, it would be his last day in office, so I wish him well and thank him for his unstinting courtesy in that role. The new Prime Minister’s election yesterday means that the Scottish Conservative and Unionist party is now the Scottish Conservative and Brexit party, which means that it is abandoning Unionism. Is not the new Prime Minister now as big a threat to the Union,...
Oral Answers to Questions — Scotland: Leaving the EU: No Deal (24 Jul 2019)
Tommy Sheppard: Let me read this for fear of misquoting the Secretary of State. He told the last Scottish Conservative party conference: “Unfortunately Mr Johnson seems to behave in a way that suggests he is only focused on his own self interest and not on the interests of our country, and I find that very disappointing.” Has the Secretary of State now overcome his disappointment, and will he continue to...
Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (24 Jul 2019)
Theresa May: I am pleased to hand over to an incoming leader of the Conservative party and Prime Minister who I worked with when he was in my Cabinet, and who is committed, as a Conservative who stood on a Conservative manifesto in 2017, to delivering on the vote of the British people in 2016 and to delivering a bright future for this country.
Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (24 Jul 2019)
Theresa May: I thank my hon. Friend for his question. I also thank him and my right hon. Friend the Member for Chesham and Amersham (Dame Cheryl Gillan) for the dignified way in which they conducted the Conservative party leadership election. He has been an advocate for the Government doing more on mental health during his time in this House, and he has championed the need for us to do more on mental...
Transport Links: Nottinghamshire — [Mr Philip Hollobone in the Chair] (23 Jul 2019)
Ben Bradley: ...to drive that change. I hope that the potential for a focus on regional infrastructure will come good under a new Prime Minister. It is unfortunate that this debate coincides with the new Conservative party leader’s speech to the 1922 Committee, which I am sure has distracted many colleagues this afternoon. I thank all my constituents for their engagement on this debate. Many commented...
Universal Credit: Managed Migration - Statement (23 Jul 2019)
Baroness Buscombe: One reason I became a Conservative was that there was an incredible advertisement in 1979 that said, “Labour Isn’t Working”. It showed lines and lines of people outside what we then called the employment exchange. That was a long time ago, but in 2010—the noble Lord knows this—20% of working-age households were still entirely workless. We have got that down to 13.9%. It is still not...
Child Maintenance Service — [Sir Edward Leigh in the Chair] (23 Jul 2019)
Marion Fellows: ..., I introduced a private Member’s Bill, the Child Maintenance Bill, based on the many issues that were highlighted as I tried to help constituents. The CMS has been roundly criticised by all parties in this place, which should signal to the Minister that it is time for sweeping reforms and an urgent root-and-branch review. The Government have a clear responsibility not just to parents or...
UK Trade and Investment Strategy — [Philip Davies in the Chair] (23 Jul 2019)
Graham Stuart: ...for Hornchurch and Upminster. She asked about the 100 days. We will continue to prepare for no deal to be the outcome, which is not the avowed intent of either of the leadership contenders for the Conservative party. We prepared and were in a good position ahead of 29 March, and we are working with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to be able to meet questions...
