Malcolm Wicks: ...weather payments are a key part of our strategy to tackle fuel poverty. They provide extra help towards heating costs for the poorest and most vulnerable members of our society in periods of exceptionally cold weather. They are paid to pensioners receiving the minimum income guarantee, and to people receiving income support or income-based jobseeker's allowance who have children under the...
Mr Roger Freeman: I shall answer the second question, which falls to me, and I am sure that my hon. Friend the Minister of State for the Armed Forces will answer the first later. However, I must point out that we have moved—or shall do shortly—to tri-service rotary-wing training, which I am sure the whole House will believe is sensible. My hon. Friend will answer the question about fixed-wing training. As...

Kitty Ussher: The information requested regarding recorded temperatures on consecutive days is not held by this department as this is not how the award of cold weather payments is determined. A cold weather payment is made to an eligible customer when the average temperature has been recorded as, or is forecast to be, 0°C or below over seven consecutive days at the weather station linked to the customer's...
Nick Harvey: As Minister of State for the Armed Forces I authorised the provision of military assistance to the Ministry of Justice in the event of industrial action by prison officers following a formal request for assistance by the Ministry of Justice.

Table 3 details the number of RAF medical personnel by Ministry of Defence establishment. These figures do not include dental officers and other ranks.

Mr Ivor Caplin: I understand what the right hon. Gentleman is saying, but he made a number of comments about the overall pattern of low flying and I am trying to put the whole thing into context in response to what he said. The undulating terrain of the north-east of England, largely an area referred to as low flying area 12, which also includes part of the right hon. Gentleman's constituency, offers...
Jeremy Quin: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr. Twigg. I want to start by congratulating my hon. Friend the Member for Ynys Môn (Virginia Crosbie). I knew her before she arrived at this place. I thought she would be a brilliant advocate for her constituents and she has proved to be so, in the way that she has been tackling me directly about this vital base and vital employer in her...
John Greenway: Having listened to the catalogue of despicable slurs against my right hon. and hon. Friends which were masquerading as Labour party policy on the Royal Air Force, I want to bring the House back down to earth and consider what is happening in the RAF at the moment, particularly as it affects personnel and training. This debate marks the culmination of a year's association between myself and...
Nick Harvey: The number of passes that have taken place at DTE Donna Nook, DTE Holbeach, DTE Tain and DTE Cape Wrath for each aircraft type since 2004 and the air base from which the flights originated are contained in the following tables: DTE Donna Nook Number Station Aircraft 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010( 1) RAF Coningsby Typhoon - - - 117 - - 35 RAF...
Anne McIntosh: I am delighted to have secured this debate on the programme for the jet fighter, known as the Typhoon. It is my first in this Chamber, so it is a great honour to present the case in favour of the programme this afternoon. May I declare a modest interest, in that I have a personal equity plan in British Aerospace? I also have a local constituency interest, as there are two RAF bases in the...
Julian Brazier: In April 2014 all Air Cadet Organisation gliding was paused due to airworthiness concerns with the Grob Viking conventional glider and Grob Vigilant motorglider fleets utilised by the Air Cadet Volunteer Gliding Squadrons (VGS). Substantial operational, technical and commercial negotiations with a range of aerospace leaders in this field have failed to find a value for money approach to...
John Greenway: I am grateful for the opportunity to catch your eye, Mr. Deputy Speaker, just two hours or so before the House rises for a very long recess, and to raise a matter of considerable importance to my constituents and to the constituents of my hon. Friends who represent North Yorkshire seats. I am grateful that my hon. Friend the Member for Richmond, Yorks (Mr. Hague) is in the Chamber to support...
Mr Willie Hamilton: I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to nationalise certain toll bridges without payment of compensation. It is well known that the Standing Orders of the House do not permit a private Member to move a Motion or to introduce a Bill which would involve a charge on the public revenue. This fact explains the confiscatory nature of the language which I use, although the more I...
Andrew Robathan: The tables provide the figures from FY 2011-12 detailing the number of entrants from recruitment centres in each of the constituent parts of the UK. However, this does not provide a comprehensive picture of where these individuals originate from geographically, as they may not always apply to join the services through their nearest career office or may choose other means by which to apply....
Priti Patel: My hon. Friend is absolutely correct. Some of this speaks to planning policy with regard to neighbourhood plans and respecting the work that has been undertaken. I know her constituency relatively well, and am only too familiar with the Dartford crossing. Thank goodness we got rid of the tolls and everything else with a lot of joint effort. This is a major issue, because local plans need to...
