Suicide (Prevention): New Clause 6 — Compensation for noise pollution (25 Apr 2012)

Kwasi Kwarteng: I am sure the hon. Gentleman appreciates that aviation is vital not only to this country, but to the community he represents, and certainly to the community I represent. I therefore want to understand the drift of his comments. Is he saying that BAA should cease to operate and that Heathrow should shut down? What exactly is he proposing?

Friend the Member for Rochester and Strood (Mark Reckless) will come to that in his speech,...

[Jim Dobbin in the Chair] — Aviation ( 4 Jul 2012)

Bank of England (Appointment of Governor) Bill ( 6 Jul 2012)

Kwasi Kwarteng: Is there not a danger that this whole process will create a media circus of the kind we see in the United States, and undermine the man or woman appointed as Governor before they even take up their position?

Bank of England (Appointment of Governor) Bill ( 6 Jul 2012)

Kwasi Kwarteng: The contrast with the United States of America is very interesting, but surely the point is that Congress in America has jurisdictional right of veto over a whole range of appointments. That does not apply to this House, so to focus simply on the appointment of the Governor of the Bank of England without considering other appointments seems to be slightly bizarre, if that is the development...

Bank of England (Appointment of Governor) Bill ( 6 Jul 2012)

Bank of England (Appointment of Governor) Bill ( 6 Jul 2012)

Kwasi Kwarteng: I want to hear my hon. Friend’s view on my suspicion that constituents simply want the Bank of England to do its job and do not want the process to be politicised any more than it needs to be. A move towards a Treasury Committee veto would make it more political and less appealing to the very constituents to whom he has referred.
