Orders of the Day — Post Office. ( 4 Mar 1929)

Mr Philip Snowden: ...that I thought I would offer these few observations. May I just say one word about one or two matters raised by the hon. Member who opened the Debate, in a very interesting speech. A word about the penny post. The hon. Member said that some time ago he sought the views of a number of commercial organisations in regard to the desirability of re-introducing the penny post, and he told us...

Congestion Charging ( 4 Mar 2003)

Lord Carter: My Lords, is my noble friend aware that there are pluses and minuses with this scheme? I have driven into Westminster every day since the charge was introduced, and I have yet to pay a penny. That is because every day I bring in a blue badge holder who is disabled, so the car is exempt. Our journey time has reduced by 25 per cent and it has not cost us a penny. I think it is a super scheme.

Health and Social Care Levy Bill (14 Sep 2021)

Andrew Murrison: I am loth to give the hon. Gentleman an extra minute, but I must ask him how much he would put on income tax. I know that his party was famously keen on putting a penny on income tax, but he has just made a whole load of spending commitments—particularly raising incomes for care staff. I assume he has costed that. If so, will he say how many pennies on income tax he proposes to burden our...

Oral Answers to Questions — Post Office.: Picture Postcards. (30 Jun 1921)

Professor Sir Charles Oman: ...forms of code messages and messages on the border between questions and statements, and that the result of the examination of them by those putting them through is that some are fined an extra penny and those who are not fined an extra penny are not divided from the other kind by any reasonable line? May I also point out—

Civil Services and Revenue Departments Estimates and Supplementary Estimate, 1923–24.: Post Office. (24 Jul 1923)

Captain Reginald Berkeley: The argument that was advanced in favour of the penny postage, that by cheapening the postage you will increase revenue because you will increase the general volume of correspondence, is just as true to-day as ever it was, and if the right hon. Gentleman can see his way to go back to the penny postage in addition to conferring a substantial boon on the community he will increase the revenues...

Orders of the Day — Agriculture: Farm Subsidy Shock. (12 Feb 1962)

Captain James Duncan: ...). A mathematically-minded farmer in my constituency has worked out that the cost of this £344½ million which is the total cost of agriculture this year payable by the taxpayer is equal to one penny a meal. I would only ask whether the housewife would get off as cheaply as one penny a meal if Britain joined the Common Market.

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Army Sports Control Board ( 3 Mar 1992)

Kate Hoey: The Minister is well aware that the armed services sports body does not give a single penny to rugby league. Will he please explain why, in the list of sports and games that are supported, we find that there are apparently more people who support and provide funding for model aircraft than support and provide funding for rugby league, and why a sport that is universally recognised as a great...

Economic Crime: Law Enforcement ( 7 Jul 2022)

Kevin Hollinrake: ...Ian Foxley, who blew the whistle on GPT Special Project Management in 2011—a company that was found guilty last year and faced £28 million in financial sanctions—been without a single penny of compensation or a single penny of earnings for 11 years? The legislation is not broad enough or all-encompassing, and it needs urgent reform.

Orders of the Day — Abolition of Warrant Sales (Scotland) Bill ( 9 Feb 1990)

Dennis Canavan: Not yet—and I have not paid a penny in poll tax either. I do not intend to pay either the £50 fine or a penny of poll tax. I will gladly pay arrears to the local authority for services rendered as soon as any Minister can tell the House that the poll tax is to be abolished, but I am certainly not participating in the payment of an evil tax which has been imposed on the people of Scotland...

International Development Bill [H.L.] (16 Jul 2001)

Lord Rea: ...the Committee that the word "poverty" includes ill health and that the term "anti-poverty measures" includes the provision of health services, even if the people who receive such services are not a penny better off and may in fact be a penny worse off if they had to pay a small fee for the much needed improved services?

Bill Presented — European Union Act 2011 (Amendment) Bill: Clause 10 — Duties of consortia as to commissioning certain health services ( 7 Sep 2011)

Nadine Dorries: ...it has been given. I want to answer some of the accusations made about me in response to the amendment. I do not have the press barons’ money to mount and fund a campaign. I have not received a penny. In fact, I am broke. My office has not received a penny in funding.

Water Privatisation (Scotland) (14 Dec 1992)

Henry McLeish: ...how capital expenditure operates. Does he not accept that the Treasury allows Scottish local authorities, by way of a signed piece of paper and a bottom-lined activity, to borrow that money? Every penny of the debt and the service comes from the consumer. Therefore, the taxpayers of Britain do not provide a penny towards the provision of the water service.

Written Answers — Treasury: Excise Duties: Alcoholic Drinks (15 Jan 2008)

Vincent Cable: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if he will estimate the revenue which would be raised per annum by increasing duty on spirits by (a) one penny, (b) five pence, (c) 10 pence and (d) 20 pence; and if he will make a statement; (2) if he will estimate the revenue which would be raised per annum by increasing duty on wines by (a) one penny, (b) five pence, (c) 10 pence and...

Public Bill Committee: Savings Accounts and Health in Pregnancy Grant Bill: Clause 2 ( 9 Nov 2010)

David Hanson: .... I simply ask the Minister to reflect on all those issues, because the three-year gap that we are proposing will not cost any money. That is the key thing. It will not cost the Minister a single penny. The pilots have ended. The scheme would cost £115 million this year, next year and the year after. If we do not progress the scheme and do  not scrap it, as in clause 2, we can use that...

Orders of the Day — Supply.: PUBLIC HEALTH BILL [Lords]. ( 4 May 1936)

Ordered, That so much of the Lords Message [29th April] as relates to the appointment of a Committee on the Public Health Bill [Lords] be now considered."—[Sir G. Penny.] So much of the Lords Message considered accordingly. Ordered, That a Select Committee of Seven Members be appointed to join with the Committee appointed by the Lords to consider the Public Health Bill [Lords]. Ordered,...

Crime ( 8 Dec 1995)

Bridget Prentice: I say "pennies" because, in comparison to the amount of money that is lost to local businesses as a result of theft and so on, the amount of money that has been put into CCTV has been pennies. I hope that the hon. Gentleman will agree with that. Secondly, will the hon. Gentleman join me in supporting the unique position in Lewisham, which I described, where the video goes directly to the...

Scottish Parliament: Transport ( 5 Nov 2003)

Iain Smith: ...I am not expecting him to pay for the Borders rail line himself. Let us hear what the Conservatives said in their 2003 manifesto. It committed them to funding a series of road projects, but not a penny was committed to funding rail projects. The Conservatives need not talk to me about funding. I have read the manifesto and I repeat that not a penny was committed to funding of the rail network.

Oral Answers to Questions — Work and Pensions: Child Support Agency ( 5 Jul 2004)

Mr Chris Pond: Last year, 85.7 per cent. of decisions on old scheme cases were correct to the nearest penny—the best ever level of accuracy, against the target of 82 per cent.—and 14.3 per cent. contained errors. From a sample of new scheme cases taken in February and March this year, 82 per cent. of decisions were correct to the nearest penny, against an agency target of 90 per cent. We will not be...

Opposition Day: Tax Cuts and Public Services ( 1 Mar 2000)

Bill Rammell: ...failed to do so, as they consistently fail to do every time the issue is discussed. There is a total lack of candour in the Liberal Democrats' spending plans. We hear their repeated attack on the penny that will come off the basic rate of income tax on 1 April this year. The Prime Minister has made it clear that the penny off the basic rate of income tax is to compensate for other tax...

Oral Answers to Questions — Wales: Policing ( 8 Sep 2010)

David Jones: As I have already indicated, the cost of the police commissioners will not be a penny more than the authorities that they replace. The hon. Gentleman may like to know that I have already held a meeting with the Welsh Local Government Association. I have also seen the letter to which he alludes, and I have passed it on to colleagues in the Home Office. I reiterate that it will not cost a penny...
