Conservative MP for Surrey Heath ( 5 May 2005 – current)
Did you mean Michael give?
Mr John Fraser: ...total rate burden that will be borne by much poorer people than they. Let us bear in mind that the percentage of tax that is paid by ordinary working-class people has gone up hugely since the Tory Government got into office. The next point that I argue is that the poll tax is not only inequitable as between one person and another but does not have regard to ability to pay between one...
Nigel Dodds: The motion has been tabled by those who believe that apologists for gunmen should have no place in government. The vote this evening will be a test for every Member of the House. Do they want a Government involving IRA/Sinn Féin or a Government who are exclusively and totally committed to peaceful and democratic means? We have been castigated about stunts. What greater political stunt is...
Lord McNally: ...to close the debate on the gracious Speech from these Benches. As ever, it has been a reminder of the extraordinary breadth of experience available to us in this House in addressing all aspects of government policy. It has also offered an example of persistence: we have heard how the noble Lord, Lord Moran, struggled through the floods and how my noble friend Lady Linklater was turned off...
Lord Howie of Troon: ...were often joined by the noble Lord, Lord McNally, in those days; I am sure that he is still as favourably inclined towards her as he was then. The problem arose from Gilligan's assertion that the Government had inserted certain information, knowing it to be wrong. It would be hard to think of anything more serious to allege. Gilligan excuses himself by saying that most of his report was...
Professor Ross Cranston: I shall begin with a specific point concerning Iraq and the operation of our forces there. Although we are what the law regards as an occupying power, our presence there is governed in the main by United Nations Security Council resolutions, notably resolution 1511 of October last year. That situation will change in the near future, but the basic principles involved will remain the same....
...the Affirmation required by law: James Mark Dakin Purnell, for Stalybridge and Hyde Right honourable John Alan Redwood, Wokingham Yvette Cooper, Pontefract and Castleford Right honourable Michael Andrew Ancram, Devizes Right honourable John Matthew Patrick Hutton, Barrow and Furness Simon Hugh McGuigan Burns, West Chelmsford Francis Cook, Stockton North Jim Knight, South Dorset...
Michael Gove: ...they richly deserve. Britain's contribution to extending the cause of liberty has been distinguished, and it is a source of pride to me. In a proper spirit of bipartisanship, I pay tribute to this Government for their role in defending the cause of freedom in Sierra Leone, Kosovo and Iraq. I hope that it will not be considered wrong of me, however, to pledge that I shall use my position...
Ed Vaizey: ...a former resident of my constituency, the poet laureate John Betjeman, who wrote beautifully about his constituency, as well the constituency of my hon. Friend the Member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove) and my own constituency. Finally, my hon. Friend the Member for Hornchurch made a brilliant maiden speech that evoked the battle of Britain, the spirit of which he maintained in his...

Michael Gove: When he intends to initiate discussions on the future of the British nuclear deterrent.
Andrew Selous: ...as common ground, and move on to say that it is hugely in our national interests to encourage and value committed, loving and responsible fatherhood. There are ways in which we can do that. The Government have made the defeat of child poverty one of their key objectives. That is a noble and worthy aim, and I salute the Government for trying to achieve it, but the Minister will know from...
Michael Gove: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many students sat A-level chemistry in (a) 2005 and (b) 1997.

Michael Gove: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much was spent on television licences for prisons, broken down by establishment, in 2004.
Tom Harris: ...is time that cyber crime was recognised for the serious crime that it is. Following the recent sentencing of teenager Joseph James McElroy to 200 hours of community service for breaking into a US Government laboratory system, detective chief superintendent Len Hynds, the former head of the national hi-tech crime unit, called on the Government and the courts to reform sentencing policy to...
Michael Gove: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what discussions he has had with the (a) Police Service of Northern Ireland and (b) Irish Government on combating organised crime.
Michael Gove: Will the Leader of the House be kind enough to make space in Government time for a debate on centralisation in the national health service? Many of my constituents are deeply concerned that a centre of excellence in my constituency—the upper gastro-intestinal cancer unit in Frimley Park hospital—may close in order to be merged with the cancer services at the Royal Surrey hospital in...
