Scottish Football (Tax Liabilities) (29 Feb 2012)

Thomas Docherty: ...with the Court of Session. For the two clubs involved, despite the support of the SPL and the SFA, it will probably take months to recover the money to which they are legally and morally entitled from Duff and Phelps. The second category of club involves any club in Scotland—or elsewhere—that has entered into financial transactions with Rangers, for example over the transfer of...

[Mr Charles Walker in the Chair] — Backbench Business — Dairy Industry (13 Sep 2012)

Thomas Docherty: ...for coming along. Members will know that despite the favourable market conditions, the UK dairy sector has been a source of dispute for a number of years. During the summer, the public campaign led by dairy farmers to protest against large cuts in milk prices captured the British public’s imagination. The profile generated by that campaign combined with the lobbying and overwhelming...

Written Answers — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: Turks and Caicos Islands (29 Oct 2012)

Mark Simmonds: Since the UK Government's announcement on 12 June that elections will be held on 9 November, we have actively supported the interim Government in the Turks and Caicos Islands, led by the Governor, to prepare for elections which are free and fair and which are held to the highest possible international standards. The UK Government have funded a number of projects to support this and will...

Backbench Business: Air Passenger Duty ( 1 Nov 2012)

Thomas Docherty: ...of Ministers. I would be grateful, however, if he could indicate whether in the near future he would be prepared to meet a cross-party delegation of Members with an interest in the Caribbean, led by me and the right hon. Member for Saffron Walden—I am sure that the hon. Member for Romford (Andrew Rosindell) and others would be keen to take part too—to discuss the impact of APD on the...

Mindfulness-Based Therapy ( 4 Dec 2012)

Chris Ruane: I wish to make a speech about mindfulness and unemployment. I have given up a lot to be here tonight according to my hon. Friend the Member for Dunfermline and West Fife (Thomas Docherty). I could have gone to the Irish ambassador’s Christmas party. That is how important my speech is. [ Interruption. ] I think that my hon. Friend is going there now. The World Health Organisation states...

Written Ministerial Statements — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: Turks and Caicos Islands (11 Dec 2012)

Mark Simmonds: ...Parliamentary Association organised an election observer mission with participation from Gibraltar, countries from the Caribbean region and the hon. Member for Dunfermline and West Fife (Thomas Docherty) and my hon. Friend the Member for Rochford and Southend East (James Duddridge). The mission’s full report will be issued shortly, but I note their initial statement that “the voters...

[Dr William McCrea in the Chair] — Overseas Territories (Governance) (11 Dec 2012)

Thomas Docherty: The hon. Gentleman makes an incredibly powerful and valid point. He is absolutely right, and I pay tribute to Joe Bossano for the way he led the observer mission; he spoke very eloquently, and with some credibility, about the role of overseas territories, which, of course, include Gibraltar. We need to encourage not just EROs but the overseas territories’ politicians to work together where...

Wild Animals in Circuses Bill (18 Jan 2013)

Thomas Docherty: ...the Minister to make a positive announcement when he responds to the debate. There is currently a licensing arrangement in place.

Member for Somerton and Frome (Mr Heath), and my hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow South (Mr Harris)....

Commercial Lobbyists (Registration and Code of Conduct) Bill ( 1 Feb 2013)

Thomas Docherty: ...Committee’s agenda and I did not wish to pre-judge anything. I hope that has provided some reassurance to the hon. Gentleman. I thank the hon. Gentleman for raising that issue, because he has led me on nicely—perhaps he read my mind—to the registration of lobbyists, which is dealt with in clause 1. As set out in the Bill, those who undertake this activity—I hope we have had a good...

Armed Forces (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill ( 1 Feb 2013)

Mark Francois: It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Wrexham (Ian Lucas) and I commend the hon. Member for Dunfermline and West Fife (Thomas Docherty) for bringing this Bill before the House and giving us the opportunity to discuss what we all instinctively agree is an important subject. I also pay tribute to his knowledgeable service on the Defence Committee. He mentioned the important work of...

Business of the House ( 6 Mar 2013)

Thomas Docherty: ...the Budget. I confess that it has been a while since I have been invited to Downing street. I am sure I am on the guest list for the current temporary occupant’s next supper club, but I have been led to believe that it says on the plaque on the door, “First Lord of the Treasury”. I am not an eminent parliamentarian like you, Mr Speaker, but I understand that the First Lord of the...

[Mr David Crausby in the Chair] — Wright Committee ( 2 Jul 2013)

Thomas Docherty: ...Wokingham (Mr Redwood), he busts the myths about some of the rebellions that have taken place on the Government side and he points out that some of the most effective and important rebellions were led by Members who were part of the 2010 intake. I am referring to the entirely sensible pushing back against the Deputy Prime Minister’s nonsensical ideas for House of Lords reform, the EU...

Defence Reform Bill (16 Jul 2013)

Thomas Docherty: ...the Minister heard me give only last week when he met members of the Defence Committee representing both sides of the House. There are three reasons for the overruns and programme delays that have led to some of the biggest procurement problems in the last 20 years: those involving the Type 45 destroyer, the joint strike fighter and the Queen Elizabeth class carrier. First, there is the...

Business of the House: Trident Alternatives Review (17 Jul 2013)

Gemma Doyle: ...but they have been replaced with new uncertainties. Indeed, the hon. Member for Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport (Oliver Colvile) and my hon. Friend the Member for Dunfermline and West Fife (Thomas Docherty) outlined those threats, which are real. They are not imaginary or historic; they are very much present. We cannot predict what will happen. It is this age of uncertainty that is one of...

Water Industry ( 5 Nov 2013)

Gavin Shuker: .... It is a pleasure to follow the right hon. Member for Wokingham (Mr Redwood). I think that he and I will agree about one thing: the botched privatisation of the late 1980s and early ’90s has led us to a wholly undesirable situation. However, we are where we are. As someone who, in the past couple of years, has had responsibility on the Opposition Front Bench for the issue of water, I...

Business of the House: Amendments to Bills (Explanatory Statements) ( 6 Nov 2013)

Tom Brake: ...Walker), for his thoughtful and charmingly concise opening comments, and for explaining to the House the reasoning and conclusions of his Committee. I will set out a little of the history that has led to this debate, although I am a little disappointed that my hon. Friend the Member for North East Somerset (Jacob Rees-Mogg) did not do so. I will then explain why the House should support...

Bill Presented — High Speed Rail (London - West Midlands) Bill: Water Bill (25 Nov 2013)

Public Bill Committee: Water Bill: Clause 1 - Types of water supply licence and arrangements with water undertakers ( 5 Dec 2013)

Thomas Docherty: ...and vibrant market—[Interruption.] The hon. Member for Tiverton and Honiton says that it is yet to be tested. May I remind him who introduced retail competition in Scotland? It was the Labour-led Scottish Executive. I also gently point out that the Liberal Democrats were part of that coalition.

Public Bill Committee: Water Bill: Schedule 2 - Water undertakers’ duties as regards water supply licencees ( 5 Dec 2013)

Thomas Docherty: ...example from Wales, there has been a prolonged, protracted legal battle between the water company and the paper mill owner, which has resulted at every stage in defeat for the water company. It has led to a regrettable situation for the wider community, where the paper company has been able to argue that it is cheaper for it to be serviced by another water provider. It has, in effect,...

Public Bill Committee: Water Bill: Clause 47 - Flood insurance (12 Dec 2013)

Thomas Docherty: .... We are thankful that no lives were lost. I want to bring the Minister back to our earlier exchange, because I have had a chance to read the evidence that we took in response to questions led by the hon. Member for Newton Abbot. I must press the Minister, because there was genuine confusion in the evidence session. Mr Kerr said that a group of people whose houses were built before 2009...
