Simon Hamilton: ...grow our economy. Let us not forget that the eurozone has suffered considerably over the last number of years and has been in decline in large parts. There are huge opportunities, beyond Europe, to trade to, for example, the Middle East, the Far East, and to South and North America and other parts of the world that have been encumbered by the fact that we have been a member of the...
Michelle McIlveen: A full assessment will depend on the new arrangements that will be put in place and on how well we can exploit the opportunities that leaving the European Union will present. Certainly, the early impacts of Brexit have been beneficial. The fall in exchange rates has increased the expected value of the basic payment for this year. Farm-gate prices have also improved, partly as a result of...
Jesse Norman: The Government has no plans to intervene in the National Agreements used in the engineering construction industry. These agreements are voluntary between employer trade associations and trade unions.
Diana R. Johnson: To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how many trade negotiators his Department plans to employ by the end of the current fiscal year.
Keith Brown: ...for being late for the start of the debate. As members will know, this is the second in a series of debates that are focused on the challenges that Scotland faces as a result of the recent European Union referendum. At the outset, it is important to restate a fundamental point about how Scotland voted in the referendum and about Scottish democracy: people in every single local authority...
Mike Nesbitt: ...Opposition day is next Monday. I am pleased that the final warm-up match, as it were, was on an issue as important as the future of Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom outside the European Union. I am particularly pleased to see so many members of the Democratic Unionist Party with us. I am just glad that the debate did not clash with the Conservative Party conference, because I...
Robin Walker: ...and at every step of these we will work to ensure the best possible outcome for British workers. We will speak to as many other firms, organisations and bodies as possible – research institutes, trade unions, regional and national groups and businesses up and down the country, to establish the priority issues and opportunities for the whole of the UK.
Nick Hurd: ...consumers to create the conditions for future success across the UK. The economic recovery of recent years means that our economy is better able to withstand the challenges of exiting the European Union. Our industrial strategy will support and encourage companies to trade internationally, create a business environment that will attract overseas investors to locate for the long term and...
Greg Hands: ...from a position of economic strength. We have the tools we need to address the challenges ahead and mitigate risks, especially with the creation of the new Department for Exiting the European Union. We are confident we will get the best possible trade and investment deals for all parts of the United Kingdom as we leave the EU. We will also continue to work closely with the Scottish...
Lord Prior of Brampton: Food labelling rules are set at European Union level and provide a framework for mandatory information to be provided on food labels as well as ensuring that food information is not misleading. This Government has pressed for better information for consumers during negotiations relating to food labelling in Europe. Food businesses are responsible for ensuring their products are safe and...
Chris Leslie: ..., legal services, asset management, and much more besides. We all rely on the future success of this sector. We cannot forget, of course, that the banking crisis shook confidence in the sector—not just among traders and businesses themselves but among the public—and taxpayers were left to pick up the pieces. Since 2008, the UK has seen its markets hit, with fewer...
Sam Gyimah: We will work with prison governors—I have had meetings with the Prison Governors Association—and the Professional Trades Union for Prison, Correctional and Secure Psychiatric Workers to determine what is the right number to enable staff to do their jobs. The hon. Member for Hammersmith (Andy Slaughter) mentioned Wormwood Scrubs. I was there and met the governor, Steve Bradford,...
...reason why any university in this country should not be an accredited living wage employer. I hope that one outcome of the amendments would be to reinforce many of the campaigns led by students unions and trade unions to persuade universities to become accredited living wage employers. As well as proposing publishing information to push for transparency, the amendments would strengthen...
Tom Brake: On a point of order, Mr Speaker. You may be aware that in July the person who is now the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union said that on 9 September—last Friday—the Prime Minister would “trigger a large round of global trade deals with all our most favoured trade partners.” Bearing in mind that there was no statement on 9 September, do you think that...
Barry Gardiner: ...would be covered by the existing provision in the 2002 Act regarding national security—so ministers would be empowered to directly intervene.” The Government created a commercial crisis. They sent shock waves through the industry and unions alike. They risked a diplomatic dispute with one of our key future trading partners, and in the end all they have done is pretend to give...
Ruth Smeeth: Children across the country returned to school last week. Research from the Association of Teachers and Lecturers trade union suggests that a quarter of them were potentially malnourished because free schools meals were not available during the school holidays. That is heart-breaking, but we still do not know the scale of the problem because no proper research has been carried out. May we...
Robin Walker: ...Ireland to ensure a UK-wide approach to our negotiations. My ministerial collegues and I have also discussed the next steps with a range of organisations, including the General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress and key business groups.
