to join the European Union.
Under the Maastricht criteria, the fiscal deficit would have to be 3% or less off GDP.
That simply isn't the case.
It currently runs it over 7%.
So a CZ Things stand at the moment.
The economics of pure fantasy.
Stevenson Like you, Mr Speaker, the borderlines growth initiative has proved to be very popular in the borderlands region on the initiatives that within it will be implemented the next year or two.
Will the Secretary of state commit to the booth?
Nothing.
My honorable friend won't be surprised.
I missed the end of his question.
A czar prime minister was cheered, but I think he was asking me to commit to the delivery of the board lands growth deal way Have the quantum Bernard's and very soon we're going to have heads of terms.
Barbara Wait, Secretary of State, picked one side is fluffy rhetoric on this.
When he's looking at the regional growth steals for Edmund the Lord Ian's Well, he looked at the mess that his government have made over the closure off the HMRC office in Livingston.
In the move to Edmund.
Well, he does.
His predecessor did come to Livingston and Wesleyan.
Speak to my constituents, Speak to the worker, Speak to the unions and the elected representatives on Look at what can be done to fill the gap on the mix made by his government.
I'm very happy to speak to the honorable lady outside the chamber about her concerns on that.
Yes.
Speaking on the subject off the quantum for the island steel to which the Secretary of State has already a affair.
Well, he confirmed that he will pursue with Treasury.
A basis is different from the capital funding off other deals because otherwise the deal for the island will never be a meaningful one.
The honorable gentleman raised a very good point.
I mean, previous previously these deals have been done on the basis of per capita on way recognized for the islands is accused geographical area per capita will be a different would bring a very low outcome.
So we are in discussions with Treasury about raising the way come to question the prime minister 100 lower Mr Spake a question Number one Mr.
Speaker Prime Minister, This'll big.
I should begin by saying that we have course condemned the attack on Iraqi military bases hosting coalition forces.
Iran should not repeat these reckless and dangerous attacks, but was instead pursue urgent de escalation.
Mr.
Speaker, I know that the thoughts of the house are also with our friends in Australia as they tackle the bushfires as they are with the families of those killed in the Ukrainian air crash.
Mr.
Speaker, This morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others in addition to my duties in this house.
Further meetings later today.
Mr.
Speaker Motor neurone disease is a terrible terminal illness, with 1/3 of people dying within a year on more than half within two years of diagnosis.
The last thing terminally ill people and their families should be worrying about are their finances.
The scrap six months campaign by the Motor Neurone Disease Association, which is based in my constituency of Northampton South, has managed to bring the important issue of payments to those with terminal illnesses to the fore, and I welcome that part to work and pensions Review of the Special Rules for Terminal Illness announced last July.
But can I ask the prime minister to join me in pressing the d W.
P to complete its review and to scrap six months.
Well, Mr Speaker, I like to pay tribute to my honorable friend and the work he's doing for those suffering from from motor neurone disease, which is indeed a a terrible illness on dhe.
We're doing everything we can to ensure that the welfare system works for sufferers of that illness.
And that's why the developer working pensions is is indeed looking at how they can change the way we help people nearing the end of their life with the most severe conditions, including motor neurone disease.
And I'm sure that my right front section state for D.
W.
P will be only too happy to meet my old friend.
Early meeting is convened Middle position.
Jeremy Corbyn Thank you, Mr Speaker.
I would like to start by paying tribute to Andrew Miller, the former member for Ellesmere Port in Eston, who said they died on Christmas Eve.
He said they lost in this house.
He spent over 20 years here, was an expert on science and technology, made an enormous contribution.
This house, our thoughts are with his family and his friends, and he's deeply lost more.
One on this on this side of the house for the great contribution that he made.
I also I joined the prime minister in sending sympathies and support The friends in Australia, where the fires have claimed over 20 people along with the loss of human life for hundreds of millions of animals have also been destroyed as a result of this.
This is a warning of what global warming does to all of us, and we've got to take this very, very seriously the threat of climate change.
And I joined the prime minister also in thoughts going to the friends and family of those who died savvy in the Ukrainian plane that crashed in Tehran last night.
Mr.
Speaker, following last night's attack on the United States bases in Iraq, can the prime minister confirm that he opposes any further retaliation or escalation in violence in a situation where the region is in really risk of going into a full scale war?
Well, Mr Speaker, of course, I can confirm that and Aiken point out to the right of a general of the United Kingdom's working solidly since the crisis began to bring together, in particular our European allies in their response and the house would have noted the E three declaration that was issued by France, Germany and the United Kingdom, in which we drew particular attention to the baleful role played in the region for a very long time by Qassem Suleimani.
That was a collective European view, but of you that doesn't yet appeared to be shared by the right honorable gentleman.
I've been interested in his commentary that he hasn't yet raised that matter.
Jeremy Corbyn.
Think you're following the government's support The United States over the assassination off General Soleimani is the prime minister confidence that United Kingdom troops and civilians are not at further risk in the region and beyond to speak of I can, of course, confirming that's an important question that the AST, far as we can tell them, that the were no casualties last night sustained by the US and no British personnel were injured in the in the attacks on dhe.
We are doing everything we can, of course, to protect U K interests in the region.
With HNS Defender H.
Miss Montrose operating in heart state of readiness to protect shipping in the girlfriend as a house her yesterday from my right or your friend The second state for defense.
We've relocated nonessential personnel from Baghdad to Tagi Onda.
We will do everything that we can to prevent an escalation.
Jeremy Corbyn government has said that it's sympathetic to the assassination of General Schiller.
Mani, What evidence has the prime minister got to suggest that this attack on him on his death was not an illegal act by the United States?
Well, Mr Speaker, clearly the strict issue of legality is not for the UK to determine since it was not our operation.
But I think that most reasonable people would accept that the United States has a right to protect its bases on personnel.
Andi, I would remind the house that the individual concerned Cassin Sulamani was not Aeneas was not any responsible for many years, amongst other things, arming the Houthis with missiles with which they attacked innocent civilians arming Hizbollah with missiles which again they used to attack innocent civilians, sustaining the Assad regime in Syria, one of the most brutal and barbaric regimes in the world.
And of course, supplying improvised explosive devices to terrorists who are, I'm afraid, killed and maimed British troops.
That man had the blood of British troops on his hands.
Mr.
Speaker, if we stand by international law, as I'm sure the government does on, would want to, then surely killing somebody in a foreign territory is an illegal act and should be condemned as such.
If we believe in international law, that should be the solution to the problems in the world on as a permanent and as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council can as a permanent member off the U.
N.
Security Council.
Could the government say what representation have been made to ensure that the Iranian officials that want to attend the Security Council in order to try to bring about a resolution to the very dangerous situation in the region, will be allowed to attend and in the event of the U.
S.
Administration blocking them?
What representation will he personally make to President Trump to make sure the U.
N can operate in the way that it should on must be able to operate?
I think the right honorable gentleman is probably well aware that thing.
The United States has a duty under international law to allow people to visit the U.
N and That is indeed the position that the UK supports.
Jermichael Iraqi parliament passed a resolution calling for foreign troops to leave their country.
Can the prime minister confirm that the British government will respect any decision made by a sovereign parliament in government in Iraq that may make such a request in the future on will respect and we'll respect the sovereignty of Iraq as a nation.
Well, Mr Speaker, I I spoke to a CZ the high school.
Imagine I've spoken extensively to our friends around the world, including our friends in Baghdad.
On promise, I don't know who of course, is like many people in Iraq, has come to rely and depend on the support of coalition forces, not leads from the UK.
And as he will know, there is a very significant NATO mission in Iraq at the moment, helping in the fight against diet.
And I think it is.
It is my wish to wish of this government.
I think you should be the wish of this house that we should do everything that we can to support the security on the integrity way.
My question wasif the government respect the sovereignty of Iraq, its parliament and its government, and the prime minister did not answer that question.
The United States actions have undoubtedly escalated the risk of a dangerous conflict in an already destabilized region, putting civilians, UK troops and nationals at risk on leaving the Iran nuclear deal in danger of being dead in the water.
This government's response is not putting the interests of this country first, but instead seems more interested in prioritizing the prime minister's relationship with President Trump over the security off the region and off this country isn't the truth isn't the truth, Mr Speaker, that this prime minister is unable to stand up to President Trump because he's hitched his wagon to a trade deal with the United States on that prioritizes everything else that he ought to be considering.
Well, Mr Speak, I was kind of waiting for the little Green Men thing to come out of the end of the trade deal.
This is absolute fiction, but what I will say is that the UK will continue to work for de escalation in the region.
I think we're having a great deal of success in bringing together a European response on in bridging that the European response without, of course, of our American friends on working both with the Iranians and with the Iraqis to dial this thing done.
But he should be in absolutely no doubt that this is of course, the leader of the opposition was famously received £10,000 from Iranian press TV.
He should be in absolutely no doubt that we are determined to guarantee with over everything that we can the safety and security of the people of Iraq, where where is he, of course, would disband NATO.
And it is this government that will continue to stick up stick up for the people across the Middle East who have suffered, who have suffered at the hands of Qasem Soleimani and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard sports that he has read on whose terrorism he's promoted.
I'm very surprised at the end of these exchanges that he has yet to condemn the activities.
I think.
The last 10 years there have been volumes of reports, independent reviews and recommendations, calling for an end to inappropriate inpatient care for people with learning disabilities or challenging behaviour.
In the wake of the Winterbourne View scandal alone, there were seven such reports as we start a new decade with my right honourable friend state How many people are still trapped in inappropriate care settings and instruct the Department of Health Toe Act on those recommendations on the asks of families and campaigners.
So these very vulnerable people can get the care they need and deserve, I think my right honorable friend for the passionate campaign that she she wages.
I can tell that the number is current number is 2190 which is Peyton the Unacceptable.
But it is moving down.
My writer friend Health Secretary tells me the number is coming down rapidly.
We have we have a pledge to reduce it by 50%.
And I'm sure that hey will meet her very shortly in Blackfoot.
Thank you, Mr Speaker.
Can I welcome you to your place?
Wish you all members and staff are to get you And I associate myself with the remarks of the Prime Minister for our friends in Australia In the tragedy of the Ukrainian airline crash and Mr Speaker, we want to see a resumption of democracy in Iraq.
We want to see that eternal peace and of course we support all measures to make sure that diplomatic efforts could get us to a better place.
Mr.
Speaker, Prime minister who should determine the future of Scotland, the prime minister or the people who live in Scotland.
Speaking, I think the answer is very clear.
It's the people of Scotland voted decisively.
Only only four members of the most successful political partnership in history by decisive a majority in a once in a generation choice.
Mr.
Speaker, this is a boat democracy.
16 people of Scotland 40 to remain in the European Union, yet they're being dragged note of unit against our will by this prime minister.
2019 The people of Scotland elected the majority of SNP MPs.
The Westminster.
The Scottish National Party won the election on the premise off Scotland's right to choose.
It's on future, rejecting the prime minister who lost more than half his seats, and Scotland Mr Speaker today, the Scottish Parliament will decline legislative consent to the Missouri boat were deliberating later today.
Why is this conservative government dismissing the will of the people of Scotland, ignore their voicing, disregarding our parliament?
Mr.
Speaker, I think the real question is, why does the SNP keep going on about breaking up most successful union in history to distract, to distract from their abundant failures in government.
In spite of getting an extra nine billion, they getting £9 billion a year from the UK exchequer which, of course, they would lose if they were finishing the breakaway There.
They are mismanaging that there are mismanaging their health care on your C, I'm afraid No, it is not the fault of Scottish pupils, but you're seeing Scotland Scottish schools falling behind in any case, to concentrate on what you're doing and stop going on about about breaking up agree.
At the heart of our one nation government is our manifesto commitment.
A strong society needs strong families After last week's £165 million boost to extend the troubled families program, will Prime Minister outline how the government will additionally, fulfill our manifesto pledge to champion family hopes to, And, I quote from our manifesto, serve vulnerable families with intensive integrated support.
They need to care for our Children why I pay tribute to my honorable friend little that she has done to campaign for families, and it was thanks to her.
I think that we put family hubs in the manifesto.
So be in no doubt that we're working with with local authorities to champion and to deliver family hubs.
Thank you.
Finally, it appears that some action is being taken going to Northern Rail.
Well, the prime minister commit stripping them of their franchise on Willie.
Also commit to devolving the tower on the money to the region so that local people have the power over their local transport and never have to suffer the appalling catalogue of delays, overcrowding, cancellations and disruptions that have gone on far too long.
I have to say to the auto related, I must I share her right rage and I do understand what she what she is saying on Dhe.
We are developing contingency plans for a replacement for Northern Rail, but what we're also doing and she raises the point.
We're also looking at the whole way the Franchising system operates, and she'll have seen Keith Williams is are very, very valuable report on that Paul Homes, My right honourable friend has always been a vocal advocate of localism.
So what advice can you give to my constituents who are concerned about the local Lib Dem counsel's unwanted housing plan in a way which would lead to even more over development without securing the vital infrastructure that easily needs.
Well, my, I'm not surprised what he says about the cavalier behavior of lived of Libyan councils in an East East Lee.
We will make sure that in so far as we need to build many more homes, which we do, we will, of course, supply the infrastructure necessary and do it on brownfield sites.
Thank you, Mr Speaker.
The prime minister is a man of vision.
Apparently.
What is his vision for the constitutional relationship between Wales and England in the events off Irish reunification of Scottish independence?
The our relationship, like the relationship of the whole United Kingdom, will go from strength to strength.
Wheelabrator has a track record of breaching environmental legislation in the U.
S.
A and now seeks to build a massive incinerator in the beautiful Test valley.
Local residents are looking to this government because of their concerns about emissions levels.
Onda, seeking reassurance from my right honourable friend that regulations on emissions from incineration will be further in hearts and greener alternatives encouraged.
I have seen her point with great concern, Mr Speaker, because as we move to a a net zero economy to rule by 2050 under the groundbreaking conservative government, it is vital that we tackle that kind of emissions.
That's why we're establishing Office for Environmental Protection and I will chair a new Cabinet committee to drive forward action.
Old climate change across the whole of Thank you, Mr Speaking a happy New Year to you and all your stuff and everyone in the hosts.
The prime minister knows that his great get Brexit done slogan was vacuous.
He also knows it's not even in the beginning with no deal firmly back on the table.
So he knows that knowledge that any job lost on any impact on bullish industry are the result of his Brexit policy is finally at his door.
Speaking culture to the predictions of the gloom stirs.
Unemployment is at a record low.
We put on about 800,000 jobs since the since the referendum and we will we will indeed get Brexit done by January 31st.
Thank you, Mr Speaker, for social Justice for life chances for opportunities for the next generation.
Education is the key on that is why the prime minister's pledge for additional funding is so welcome, especially for historically under funded areas such as Dorset and Pool.
But equally important, our discipline and standards well, the prime minister ensure that there is a continued focus on the most disadvantaged, especially when it comes to vital literacy and numeracy skills.
Yes, indeed, I will.
Mr.
Speaker and I, I pay tribute.
By the way, my own river.
Remember teachers who can pay for safe over.
Since then, it's synthetic phonics, which has done such a huge amount to help kids to read in this country.
This is the only country in the G seven where performance of disadvantage pupils has actually improved in reading since 2000 and nine.
We need to do more on my little friend says.
That is why we're investing more now.
Record sums in education.
Brendan Ohara No, you like you must speak up, Margaret Immediate.
They're all exactly that.
The Union of United Kingdom can only be maintained by consent.
Yet despite winning three elections seeking to test that consent, the plane minister insists that the SNP government doesn't have a mandate to hold another independence referendum.
So pretty tell me exactly what mechanism as available to the Scottish people to get their consent or otherwise, for maintaining this union and should go about exercising that Mr.
Speaker, I can only repeat my my point, which is that the Scottish people do have a mechanism.
They used it in 2014.
It's a referendum on it took place.
It took place.
And it was As as I think, members opposite A ll confirmed it was a once in a David Morris.
Thank you, Mr Speaker.
Mr.
Speaker.
Udbina, Northern MP like myself would welcome the news that there's going to be more money spent in the north of England.
I want to reiterate that Morgan needs the Eden Project with my right honorable friend, The Prime Minister like to come to more consume me and about getting the Eden Project back in more Come again to make more come the best place on the face of this earth, Davis to speak of the Eden of.
I just heard from my little friend, the Chancellor that he does indeed, Mr Speaker of the House would know that the Eden Project is now thanks to the chancellor Very likely to come to market.
Thank you, Mr Speaker.
More than two years I have been camping apart from my constituents and heart hell on 4000 other low income road chef workers across the UK who have waited more than 20 years to receive, share or set money that is rightfully theirs.
In 2018 there was a breakthrough when hmrc again to repay millions of pounds and wrongfully pay tax.
However, understand that they're trying now to recoup tax on every penny possible from those low income workers.
Given that the trust was set up as a non tax employee ownership scheme, Does the prime minister think it is fair that Hitcher Marcy would seek to run rough short over that on?
Well, we know meet with me in order to discuss this protracted cycle.
Yes, of course, I make a general point that we've done a huge amount to raise toe, raise a burden of lift about of taxation on the low paid and lifting the living wage by the biggest ever increase.
But I know that my writer friend, the chance of a welcome opportunity to discuss the particular matter raises in person.
Shelley's father in the period 2018 to 2019 overseas companies investing in Northern Ireland created nearly 1500 new jobs.
Would my right honorable friend agree with me that if storm won't want to be up and running again, then this year that number would be considerably higher?
And that is important.
But no stone is left unturned in efforts by the North violent parties to seek agreement so that the normal island assembly can be properly functioning again.
Thank you, Mr Speaker.
I'm proud to say the UK is now the third highest recipient of foreign investment in the world.
But Norman Island could get even more than it currently does if, as my problem with friend, right, he says, if people took their responsibilities and got storm on up and running again.
Tommy Sheppard, Mr Speaker in the twilight of the last parliament, but with the Scottish affairs on Health select committees produce reports under drugs crisis.
Both reports drew on international evidence and recommended a change in the law to allow vulnerable addicts to be able to consume substances in secure facilities under medical supervision.
Now, I know this is a complex on dhe controversial area, and I'm not expecting the prime minister make policy in the hood, but I want to ask him, Will he consider on a pilot basis the establishment off overdose prevention centers in order to gather evidence as to whether this could help prevent deaths in this country as it has in other countries?
I'm grateful to the on Remember, because he's raising a very important issue in a difficult problem.
And the question is, how do you introduce as it were consumption rooms without encouraging consumption?
That's the challenge that we face is he knows we are having a drugs summit this'll year.
It will be held in Scotland, but we will be a Nazi and a short my local.
Any checks trust.
It's currently consulting on closing stroke rehabilitation service support from hospital stuff on the ward of rightly very concerned about a pro's closure on the impact it will have on local residents, particularly those in my rural communities.
So kind of the prime minister, are you willing to work with myself under Health secretary, take this matter seriously and proof of residence.
Official claims that world congratulate my on welcome her and you eat all new calling to their first edition of prime minister's question time.
Thank you.
Thank you, Toe.
Thank her for raising her concerns with me.
I'm I've heard just now from the health secretary passing the ball straight down the line.
Hey, hey Is indeed going to address the matter that she raises Boston.
We're putting record sums.
Indian HS is our intention to help Bishop like much of the rest of the country Hospital Amy Waiting times in country have bean under constant pressure.
With the latest figures showing that almost 1/4 of a tendencies are waiting four hours or more to be seen.
I'm aware that the government has made commitments to invest in the N.
H s.
So would the prime minister agrees to meet a delegation from Coventry to discuss the prospect of opening a second walk in center in the city to alleviate some of the pressure on our overstretched A Any department.
I thank her for raising issue with me, and if I can't do it, I'm sure the Health secretary camp.
So David, my right honourable friend, share my concerns about the lack of education, achievement and aspiration among so many of our working class boys across the country.
Well, you make it a top priority for his government to ensure that all school Children throughout the country are given the opportunities to maximize their talents.
Yes, I can, Mr Speaker, and not not only a reinvesting record sums in primary and secondary education, but we're also setting up a national skills fund to help those who don't know everything that they are candidates for university.
But I have a huge amount to offer the economy and every help they could get have massive, massive potential, Mr Speaker, Happy New Year to You and everyone else in the chamber in the prime minister detail what steps he has taken working in concert with Germany and France in helping to restore the Iran nuclear deal since he was appointed prime minister in July.
Well, I'm grateful to the man.
He raises a very important point.
A Z knows it Czar view that the J.
C.
P L remains the best way of preventing a nuclear proliferation in Iran.
The best way of encouraging the rain's not to develop a nuclear weapon on dhe.
We think that after this crisis has abated which, of course, we sincerely hope it will that way forward will remain.
It is a shell that is currently being avoided, but it remains a shell into which we can put substance again, Mr Speaker, In in recent months, the performance of West Midlands rail for my constituents and for constituents across the region has been absolutely woeful.
Will he agree with Andy Street, the West Midlands man, that if they do not shape up by the end of January, that they, too, should have a a new inspection by the secretary of transport and potentially have a franchise taken away?
Mr.
Speaker of the house, who have heard what I had to say already to the honorable lady about the performance of various franchise holders across our rail network.
We are looking at the whole issue, and the bell is tolling for West Midlands.
Well, if I hear my honorable friend correctly during the festive season that thinking about a minister basking in its hammer can stick may be contemplating his minded.
But mind there is absolutely nothing complete with the mandate one by my colleagues here on the patio, 45% popular votes on 80% of the seats.
Our Monday is unassailable one, So the payments are qualities over.
It's not take to deliver on that Monday.
Scottish government has another ready Edinburgh Viva 2.0 Discussions begin.
I think I think I think I've given this answer a couple of times already.
The people of Scotland, I had the chance to decide.
They decided emphatically in favor remaining in the in the UK on DDE that I think I think that decision that decision should be respected very much respect warmly welcome the prime minister commit continued commitment to invest on the level up across our country.
This would be particularly welcoming Corbeau that continues to be one of the poorest parts off the UK.
So will the prime minister confirmed to the people of karma that we will continue to be at the heart of his government's plans to invest in the regions of the country?
Absolutely.
Mr.
Speaker, I could confirm that and my old friend and I have discussed this issue many times.
Continue received, or the cash it get through the shared prosperity fun.
But we will do extraordinary things with infrastructure.
The A three a three.
You name it to improve transport core more road rail transport on the N H s a swell, Turo pens answer.
But every awful hopefully Kourtney will be their final question.
Culleton.
Thank you, Mr Speaker.
In 2005 my constituents, Stephen Gallons, did a bad thing for which is serving a life sentence in prison.
But on the 29th of November, it was the third man on London Bridge.
He wrestled the knife wielding, murderous terrorist to the ground so that police marksman could shoot him dead.
Steven is rightly serving life in prison.
But will the prime minister congratulating pay tribute to Stephen for his bravery that day, which no doubt saved lives?
Well, Mr Speaker, I thank the opera General for his questioning and for making a very good point, which I think the whole house would agree.
I'm lost in admiration for the bravery of of Steven Gallagher on indeed others who went to the assistance of members of the public on that day and fought a very determined terrorist.
And I obviously is not for the government to decide these things.
But it is my hope that that gallantry will in due course, be recognized in the proper way.
Border halibut very much.
Mr.
Speaker, I seek your advice yesterday on re entering the building for the first time after Christmas, I witnessed one off wash cases of abuse off security staff.
I have seen in my time here one of the members off the other police who I will name so as not to incriminate anybody else.
Lord Ken Maginnis had forgotten his past, something that we have all been guilty off.
However, instead of taking the advice of the security staff who, as we all know, are here for their security under safety, he proceeded too terribly, abused and shape at both the member of staff.
Call it a trick it, seeing that they not know who he was.
He had been here for 46 years and refusing to take the advice off on assistance of both myself, the security staff and the police that then attended.
I have reported this incident to the authorities, but I seek your advice as the member is no elected.
So I'm interested to know to whom he is accountable on what can be done to make sure no member of staff on the estate is ever treated in that way.
What abused in the minor which I others witnessed yesterday.
First of all, let me say no member of stuff either should have to put up with abuse way Have a policy that runs through all of this estate.
And I would always encourage members to respect the people occurring out their duties to make sure we're safe.
And that's well, I would also say normally we would not name member of either house in this way.
But what I do take very seriously is that stuff carrying out their duties should not have to put up with abuse.
Where that would say is we are aware of the situation.
I would expect bills in another place to look into that on.
I want to reassure those started.
It will not be tolerated on.
We will ensure that that message goes across to all members toward him.
I too public, Mr Speaker, I don't think it will have escaped anybody's attention, but nevertheless I think it's worth making the point that we went through a ll.
The name's a order paper for Prime minister's questions.
Onda number of other colleagues on both sides got in and we finished at about 12 31 on No one on DNO.
One had to suffer abuse from the way with that may I wish you a very happy new year of many.
I'm not saying I don't want to use up the time on that basis.
Top figure.
I'm grateful to Lear.
It'd Sally Luca, who was originally from Casa Go, had a British passport on Waas before he was arrested and imprisoned at Belmarsh resident in the London borough of Harold, was recently found dead in his cell.
Whilst the prison service ombudsman appears to be investigated, there appear to have bean delays according to his family and getting a postmortem to take place.
I wonder what avenues are available to me as a member of Parliament from the centre of London borough of Harrow to encourage that autopsy to take place as a matter of urgency.
This year's been raised, nor the Home secretary is here in the team.
But I say it's not a tissue for me personally.

Scotland and Northern Ireland have voted to remain in the European Union on every single occasionally have been given, including the European Union referendum in 2016 and thereafter.
And whilst I acknowledge that the prime minister and his party won a majority of seats in England and a respect that outcome in England, I would ask them on the benches opposite to pause and consider that the prime minister did not win the majority of the seats in wheels.
He didn't win any seats in Northern Ireland and indeed it was remained parties that one that one.
The majority of seats in Northern Ireland and in Scotland, where the Conservative and Unionist Party student a manifesto off delivering Brexit on preventing a second independence referendum they were reduced to a rump off.
Six MPs on the Scottish National Party won the election emphatically.
So I would just ask that perhaps this afternoon could not be another session of Scotland.
Get back in your box.
But there might be some respectful recognition off the democratic desire off my constituents in Edinburgh, Southwest and the majority of constituents in Scotland to have remained in European Union and therefore robber than lectures about delivering the will of the British people.
Let us seriously consider that it is the role of opposition to scrutinize bills while I realise inevitably breaks.
It will no happen, although I hope and believe that Scotland will find a way around that for Scotland.
That doesn't mean to see that there aren't very legitimate concerns about the way in which the government are seeking to deliver Brexit on I Will yes fact that 16.5 million people voted for parties either supporting remain or a public vote on the deal visits 14.5 million for the oven ready Brexit.
We've been prepared and therefore there is in fact a Democratic mandate to put this deal to the people.
I have to see that I think that ship has sailed on that because of the outcome off the election in England, however, the ship has not sailed on Scotland's constitutional future because, like it or not, the Conservative Party was reduced to a rump of representation in Scotland in the general election on my party won 47 out of the 59 seats, surely a matter of concern in a democracy which is not a unitary steep but consists of several nations that no matter how many amendments I and my colleagues put forward to this bill, I'm probably every other Bill in the session.
We are unlikely to achieve a single amendment and rather than the bri ng and jeering which occurred when the leader of my group, the right honorable member for Ross Guy Loch Arbour got upto ask his questions this afternoon.
I would suggest to those opposite if they really believe in preserving the Union of United Kingdom, they want the might want to show a little bit more respect, not necessarily to me or my right honorable friend, but to those who sent us here to abdicate.
Enjoyed your people in Scotland want on whether the benches opposite like or not, majority people in Scotland do not want to leave the European Union and the majority of people in Scotland want a second opportunity to Lucas Scotland's constitutional future In the light off England's decision to leave the European Union.
I defy any Democrat to see that that's not a reasonable position on.
I would just gently suggest to the benches opposite that jeering at the representatives of waters in Scotland.
Shooting us down and rubbishing are legitimate concerns is not a sustainable position.
For the next five years, I will yes, I think the right on with lady for giving way, I'm a unionist on.
Yet I share her concern that there is a need for the voices from the various on diverse parts of the United Kingdom to be heard on she is right to say that it is unlikely the government will accept any of the amendments that are being put forward today that represent very legitimate concerns, not least on the part of those of us who represent Northern on, actually who have come together in a rather unprecedented way all the 1,000,000 parties to back many of these amendments.
So I do hope going forward post the withdrawal agreement that there will be more consultation amore discussion, including the representatives of the various parts off the United Kingdom.
Okay, there's not much about which myself and the right honorable gentleman will agree.
But we can agree on this point and there needs to be a recognition in the triumphalism off the wind in England.
And I understand that because we feel pretty triumphal about Darwin in Scotland.
But the triumphalism of the conservative unionist parties win in England.
If they really say that they are a unionist party, then they're required to engage properly with the representatives off the other parts of the United Kingdom.
Now this brings me to em the terms of the amendments.
I wish to move to Dean just before I get onto a the amendments Number 38 on the ones associated with that.
I just want to res again with the Treasury bench points I made yesterday about sweeping pirates, which the government is taking to itself in causes 3 12 13 14 18 21 and 27 two.
Make it to to make delegated legislation making provisions for a dose of devolved policy.
Now I know the secretary of state's tried to publish my interventions yesterday, but if he's had time to be the independent report off the Scottish Parliament Information Center overnight, he will see that this is not some SNP party political diatribe.
But it is a matter of fact on careful analysis off the bill that the government is taking to itself the right for British ministers acting alone to make delegated legislation in relation to devolved areas can.
This shows that the paragraph which the SNP have complained about and a number of occasions is actually going to take place now.
The minister tried to deflect me yesterday by seeing first of all, that the power of related to reserved matter is simply not corrected.
Quite clearly, result relates to devolved matters, and then he tried to see that the power they were taking was simply technical.
But of course, the minister will know that the Sewell convention doesn't apply to delegated legislation, But Mr Chair probably wouldn't matter if it did, because the government's prepared to drive option horses convention, but rather, interestingly, the government's delegated powers memorandum in relation to the spill states that the UK ministers won't normally make regulations in relation to devolved tedious without the agreement of the relevant devolved administration, which is what the Sewell Convention says.
But we know that lately, Sewell on that convention has been more honored in the breach than it's a being bait.
So I want to ask the minister again.
Can he revisits his remarks from yesterday?
Will he acknowledge, for the record and these Air Mattress, which of course may be litigated in the future?
So the record might be quite important?
Will, he acknowledged, for the records that the clauses to which I've referred do give U K government ministers the power to make delegates of legislation in relation to devolved matters and will, he acknowledged, for the records that that is an incursion into devolved policy, which rightly causes concern not just for the Scottish National Party.
But for all those who believe in the devolved settlement, and I know it's history.
But 22 years ago, 75% of the people of Scotland voted for that devolved settlement, and it's worth remembering that the background against which they did Saul was years and years of Scotland voting labour.
But getting a conservative government.
No, we have years and years of Scotland voting SNP.
But getting a conservative government.
Andi, I think it's quite reasonable if one looks at history to draw a lesson from that, that there probably will be another constitutional referendum in Scotland soon because a similar tension exists as to the tension which existed in the 19 nineties.
So I look forward to eating from the secretary of state later on to D, with an acknowledgement off the power that is being taken to the British government here.
No overall, Mr Cheer, I would see that what this bill is a boat is about the executive taking as much part of itself as possible, not just from the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly, but also from this parliament swinging use of delegates of legislation.
Andi in relation to close 26 which I'll come to in a moment from the judiciary now.
The Conservative and Unionist Parties manifesto revealed that the governments in was to change the balance between government, parliament and the courts.
And it's my honorable friend, the member for Central Air, Shar said yesterday.
In this bill, we see the beginning of the changing off that balance.
But we also see a continued attack on rights, not just to the undermining of you citizen's rights, as we heard yesterday, not just the undermining of workers rights, which will come to nature to d but also the rights off child refugees.
And I think it's fair to see that business proposal in this part, which were discussing just now, which has excited the most public comment on.
I've certainly received many communications from constituents who are very worried about this.
In this connection.
I wish to move the amendments in the name of my honorable friend, the member for cover and old uncle site, New Close at 43 Amendment 28 an Amendment 29 or at least to address them at this stage, Mr Cheer, whether or not they're moved, is perhaps a matter for later because Mr Chair, right now across Europe, there are thousands of unaccompanied Children living in the most desperate circumstances.
Many of humor secreted from their families and legal family union is a lifeline to these Children who would other rise, risked their lives and dinghies or in the back of Lorries in order to reach a place of safety with their family.
And we've seen some pretty awful evidence recently off what can happen when refugees resort to Dinis or the back of Lorries.
And in recognition of that fact.
And 2000 and 18 across party coalition in this house included prominent members of all parties, including conservative Muniz Party recognized the humanity we need for family reunion to continue and secured a legal commitment from the then government to negotiate a replacement for it.
For the rules currently in place when we leave the European Union and for the government to seek to remove those protections known risks causing panic amongst refugee families currently separated in Europe with potentially tragic consequences.
And it's also deeply on six unacceptable to constituents of many different MPs in this house.
Now the government see they're going to continue with refugee family reunion.
So it's really not clear to me why they're going to the trouble of taking the commitment out of this bill unless they want to hedge their bets of it on based on past experience.
That's what I suspect the are up to.
Because without this obligation in the bill will be no obligation on the government to ensure that family being and continues beyond the very restrictive rules in United Kingdom law.
