Minister, the Cabinet Office work across all government the apartments to drive it to ensure the rollout across the United Kingdom and they were working with the Public Health on that. The chairman identified Food Shortages that we have a disproportionate impact on vulnerable groups. Can you tell us what work they were doing with schools and hospitals to make sure this wasnt an issue . I know how seriously she takes these issues and working at the the permit of education and the part of work and pension to ensure vulnerable groups have protection. Electoral law supervises the message. And to control and supervise the campaign on social media where most of our constituents are more likely to get the message for adequate control. My right honorable friend launches the consultation next year and outlined in this session and they are well aware who is talking to them on social media. Questions to the Prime Minister. Number 131, mister speaker. The Prime Minister. The house will be shocked by the news that 39 bodies have been discovered in a lori container, this is an unimaginable tragedy. The thoughts and prayers of all members who lost their lives in their network. Im receiving regular updates, the home office will work with Ethics Police to reestablish what has happened to my honorable friend the home secretary after these questions. I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. I will have further meetings later today. Can i associate with the tragedy in a 6 . I dont normally do that but on this occasion i am with him. Good to see the pm of pmq. It was only ever done once. A long list of shortcomings, could he do something. Some control of them. I tried to reply in the generosity of spirit to and expect from me, i received excellent advice for a wide range of advisors and officials. It is the role of advisors to advise and government to decide and i take full responsibility for everything the government does. My right honorable friend achieved what many said was impossible and negotiated a new brexit deal. Does the Prime Minister share my regret that many of the Party Opposition including the leader of the opposition voting to delay us leaving with a deal on october 31st, not least after what you said in this house on 22 february 2016 that his party welcomed the fact that it is up to the british people to define what will remain in the European Union . My right honorable friend as so often speaks with complete good sense and i do think it was a remarkable thing, last night and approve the second reading of the bill. It is a shame the house will at the end, there is still time for the right honorable gentlemen to do that and explain to people how he proposes his promise that he made repeatedly on the will of the people to get brexit done. Enlighten us now. Thank you, mister speaker. I join others in deep sadness of todays news that 39 people have been found dead in a lori container. Can we just think what it mustve been like for those 39 people obviously in a desperate and dangerous situation for their life to end suffocated to death in a container, this is an unbelievable human tragedy that happened in our country at this time. We obviously need to look at the whole situation and ask what happened. Also i do pay in enormous tribute to the Emergency Services who have gone to the scene to deal with it. All of us think what it is like to be a Police Officer or firefighter to open that container and 39 bodies, dealt with in an appropriate and humane way. Think for a moment what inhumanity has done to other human beings at this terrible moment. Yesterday before the Prime Minister decided to delay his own withdrawal bill he promised to maintain let me finish. Let me finish. Decided to delay his own withdrawal bill. If you care to look you will see what it says. He promised to maintain environmental, consumer, and workers rights. Why then did the primus to have these commitments removed from the legally binding Withdrawal Agreement . I dont think we could have been clearer yesterday in our commitment to have the highest possible standards for workers rights, for environmental standards. One of the things that brought the house together was the knowledge that as we go forward and build our future partnership with the eu, it is open to members on all sides of the house to Work Together to ensure whatever the eu comes up with we can match and pass into the law of this country and a lot of support across the house. I find it peculiar that he now wants this bill back because he voted against it last night and he whipped his entire labour party against it. It was a remarkable thing the house successfully defied his urging and approved that deal. What i think we would like to hear from him now is his commitment to getting brexit done. That is what the public wants and they are worried that all he wants is a second referendum. Jeremy corbin. The Prime Minister doesnt answer the question i put to him which was about environmental, consumer, and workers rights. I am not surprised, mister speaker, because he once said employment regulation was backbreaking and he voted for the 2016 antitrade union act which stripped away employment protections and the provisions in the bill offer no real protection at all. Yesterday in the Withdrawal Agreement debate the Prime Minister pledged the nhs was safe in his hands. If that is the case, will he be backing our amendment today which would undo the very damaging privatization of nhs . Mister speaker, showing complete failure to study what we actually passed last night in the historic agreement. It is very clear and open to this house, to do better where it chooses on social protection is indeed this country often does. We are a groundbreaker. We are a groundbreaker, mister speaker, in this country and i am afraid to say that the right honorable gentlemen has no other purpose in seeking to frustrate brexit to cause a second referendum. As for the nhs this is t party with sound management of the economy took this country back from the abyss and enabled us to spend 34 billion pounds on the nhs, a record investment and, mister speaker, as i promised on the steps of downing street, to begin the upgrade of 20 hospitals and as a result of the commitment this country is making in this government is making 14 new hospitals, mister speaker, will be built in the next ten years. That is the commitment to the nhs. Order order you are in and cordial individual, yelling from a sedentary position of the top of your voice. Calm yourself, mister jeremy corbin. Two questions, we are still waiting for an answer though we could do with a translation of the first part of this response. I hate to break it to the Prime Minister but under his government and that of his predecessor privatization has more than doubled to 10 billion pounds in our nhs. There are 20 nhs contracts out and he promised 40 hospitals and reduced that to 20 and turns out reconfiguration is taking place in just six hospital so these numbers keep tumbling down, unfunded spending commitments he liberally makes around the country. The Prime Minister continues to say that he will exclude nhs from being up for grabs in future trade deals. Can he point to which clause in the Withdrawal Agreement bill secures that . I must say the speaker is wrong about privatization of the nhs. Those 14 hot bills, 70,000 extra stops including 17,000, they were not paid out of private funds. They were taken by the nhs. The reason we are able to pay for them, this party and this government is in sound management of the economy putting up corporations and raking the economy in a way that nationalizing companies the way he would do. He asked about the nhs in any future free trade deals. I understand his visceral dislike of america and his visceral dislike of free trade. Jeremy corbin. I asked the Prime Minister which clause in the bill protect the nhs and obviously it was time for him to help us with an answer on that. He should also be aware there is no public Capital Allocation made for the funding commitment. All he said is the seed funding. I am not sure what seed funding is but it doesnt sound it doesnt sound like the commitment we were seeking and sounds awfully like private finance going into the nhs in order to get a third deal with the issues it faces. Mister speaker, less than one year ago they said the check and customs control between Great Britain and Northern Ireland would damage the fabric of the union. Given the field does damage the fabric of the union does he agree with himself . I believe, i know this was raised many times in the house, preserve and we go forward to together as one United Kingdom, new afraid trade deals in a way that would be impossible previously. This is a great advance for the whole of the uk and intends to develop that together with our friends in Northern Ireland but i must say to the right honorable gentlemen i think it is a bit rich, mister speaker, to hear from him about his sentimental attachment to the union between Great Britain and Northern Ireland when he spent most of his political life supporting the ira. Jeremy corbin. Mister speaker. Mister speaker, the Prime Minister has a habit of not answering any questions put to him. Northern ireland will remain on Single Market rule within the eu on goods and agricultural products. The rest of the uk will not as the honorable member pointed out yesterday. It creates a very real border down the irish state, something he said in terms to a conference he would never do and it wasnt that long ago. Might have been when he became the tory leader. The Prime Minister told the house on saturday there would be no checks on goods moving between Northern Ireland and Great Britain but yesterday the brexit secretary confirmed to the European Union committee the Northern Irish businesses sending goods to britain would have to complete export declaration forms. Is the Prime Minister right on this or is the brexit secretary right on this . They cant both be right. The United Kingdom is preserved whole and entire by these arrangements and the whole of the uk will be allowed to come out of the European Union so that we can do free trade deals together. There will be no checks between Northern Ireland and gb and no tariffs between Northern Ireland, between Northern Ireland and gb, we protect the Customs Union and i may say, mister speaker, the defense of the union from somebody who not only campaigned to break up Northern Ireland by his support of the ira but also wants to spend the next year in a referendum not just on the eu but another referendum on scotland. That is what he wants. This is a threat on the labor front bench. Jeremy corbin. I wonder if the Prime Minister has read clause 21 of the bill. The good friday agreement was one of the greatest achievements of the house led by labor correlation at that time. The Prime Minister said he would refuse to comply with the law. He threw Northern Ireland under the bus, ripped up protection for workers rights in environmental standards. And try to prevent genuine democratic scrutiny and debate. The whole withdrawal bill as signed by the previous Prime Minister is a terrible treaty. This deal is worse than that. Even if he is not that familiar with it does the Prime Minister accept that parliament should have the necessary time to improve on this terrible treaty. This government and this party delivers on a mandate. And said we couldnt open the Withdrawal Agreement and the backstop. Couldnt get a new deal. And did their utmost. The utmost to stop it going through parliament and we got it through Parliament Last night. This is the government that delivers on its promises with 20,000 more Police Officers and we are. And Education Funding around the whole country and more than that increasing the minimum wage, increasing minimum wage by the biggest amount since its inception. It delivers on brexit and the priority of the british people. There may be more, closed question. Martin vickers. Mister speaker, we will invest in infrastructure in every corner of the uk including 13 billion pounds north of the country. And one thing that boost the local economy. And improves access to those by an upgrade to the a 15 between lincoln and a 180 and the eastwest rail freight connection. Can they confirm the support for those proposals . And confirm support for those proposals, i will remember meeting my honorable friend and his constituents in the core door. The issue of crossing the railway line, mister speaker. It is never far from my door. And i have undertaken from the apartment of transport, seek to find a solution, save means for pedestrians to cross the railway line in addition to the other pledges. Ian blackburn. Thank you, mister speaker. What we learned about this morning, 39 people taken from this house should distress us all. And people put themselves. And and learned the lessons. And Emergency Service had to avail themselves, and as humanity we must learn from this terrible tragedy. In the last hour the first ministers of scotland and wales joined forces to oppose the tory government damaging brexit is a bill that risks jobs, opportunities and the entire economic future. Scotland, this toxic tory brexit or any brexit and overwhelmingly to remain. The Prime Minister stop ignoring scotland and confirm today that he will not allow this legislation to pass unless consent is given by the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish Parliament and it is up to the members of the parliament to approve this and delighted to say they did and didnt proceed with the support of many scottish nationalist mps or any of them. If he disagrees with this deal and disagrees about the way forward can i propose to him he has a word with other opposition parties and joins support for a general election. Ian blackburn . There we have it. The consent the Scottish Parliament has asked is meaningless in the Prime Ministers eyes, so much for the agenda and the message in 2014 that we were to leave the United Kingdom, that this was a union of equals torn asunder by this Prime Minister. They dont like the truth but the people of scotland our parliament doesnt matter. That is what the Prime Minister thinks of our government in scotland. The Prime Minister was yet again defeated by this house. The Prime Minister said he wants scotland to trust him but how can we . Fired twice for lying, found unlawful by the courts, the Prime Minister sold scotland out time and time again. Parliament, scotland cannot trust this. So desperately wants and election. And the meaningful extension and bringing on a general election. They defined our future in scotland. Such an exciting element. He might part his courage down the line. And blocked 1. 2 billion, 200 million more secured for Scottish Farming thanks to the hard work of scottish conservatives and it is the smp with their lackadaisical, the highest taxes anywhere, Educational Status and inadequate healthcare and european policy that would take that from scotland back into the eu and hand back control of scotland to brussels and their manifesto, at the polls. When my right honorable friend was seeking to become leader of the conservative party i was the only one of our colleagues who asked for anything in pertaining to support. I asked for three things. And he would make me a duke because my wifes panties becoming a justice and the leader of the opposition thoroughly agrees with me that south end becomes a sit in. When will these things happen . Im grateful to my right honorable friend and i can say to him your policy remains unchanged and we should leave the eu at the end of this month and we believe the eu on october 31st. The honorable members will comply and i will report to the house in due course. When my honorable friends request, the duke and justice duchess of the city, i will take that to the house. Mister larry shearman. Mister speaker, i wonder if the Prime Minister has seen the operating images of children being killed, mutilated, seriously injured and given the turks and other allies, we thought with the kurds, good and trusted friends in the United States is a major ally of us but Good Relationship with donald trump. Will he step up to the plate and show the British Government cares about this and was willing to do something . I think the right honorable gentleman and he was right to raise this issue, it is an appalling state of affairs in northern syria. Something the British Government has actively deplored. And last weekend. And urged him to a standstill. Everybody shares the honorable gentlemans feelings in civilian life. And those close allies with variance, they are working closely and that is what the policy is running and persuade american friends we cannot simply turn a blind eye to what was happening in syria. Jackie doyle price. The tragedy of the constituency this morning. And to find the perpetrator. And with all of that this morning Prime Minister. I agree with what my honorable friend has said in the chamber. To put ourselves in shoes of those Emergency Services. Is the right honorable gentleman has said, they asked to open that container for the crime that had taken place. I share a strong desire now for the perpetrators of that crime and all those who engage in similar activity. As we know, this trade is going on, all such traders and human beings should be hunted down and brought to justice. Diametrically opposing outcomes cannot be equally beneficial, the Prime Ministers great deal is so good for Northern Ireland, the markets and customers union, how does this deal with the constituency for exactly the same catch but did not have access to the Single Market and one has a great deal. What does the other one have . The Fishing Community of scotland have a fantastic community by the end of next year. The entire coastal waters. Managing the fishery in the interest of scotland and to drive and even better deal and better deal, even better access to european markets. That is an opportunity that will be wantonly thrown away by the abject servile policy of the s p who handed back control of scottish fishing to brussels. My right honorable friend achieved the first landmark of his premiership to getting his house to vote by a comfortable majority. By a comfortable majority of brexit. And the reasonable and statesmanlike way i would hope for he will go on a month or two time to deliver brexit before having the general election on the sensible basis of a mandate for government on cooler negotiations that will follow. Will my right honorable friend get over his disappointment and accept that october 31st, it is devoid of any symbolic or political content and will fade away into historical memory very rapidly, having reflected, let us now he is about to table a reasonable timetable motions so that this house will complete with finalizing the details of the withdrawal bill so we can move on a basis which might begin to reunite the nation once again for the future. My right honorable friend, we cannot now know what the eu will do in response to the request from parliament. I stress it wasnt my request but a request from parliament to have a delay. We are awaiting their reaction to parliaments request for a delay. I must respectfully disagree with my right honorable friend. I think it would be in the best interest of this country and of democracy to get brexit done by october 31st. I will wait to see what our eu friends and partners say in response both to the request for a delay from parliament and also to the insistence by parliament that they want a delay. I dont think the people of this country want a delay. I dont want to delay and i intend to press on but i have to see what our eu friends will decide on our behalf. That is a result of the decision he took last night. The National Farmers union reported this week that 16 million apples have rotted away because the immigrant workers that normally pick those for the country have chosen not to. Immigration must be a big part of the referendum in the Prime Minister promised on the system, this isnt going to allow you to pick fruit. What does the Prime Minister plan to do to stop the scandal of british food rotting away in fields . To the best of my knowledge, there are nationals working in this country that never before, it is a great thing but we have as he knows the eu settlement scheme to encourage people to register as if there was any doubt about this but also we will be bringing an australian style immigration system to make sure all sectors have access to the labor they need. Can i congratulate the Prime Minister on achieving so many things that were impossible. In light of that, could i ask him to instruct the Cabinet Office to bring in a male prima janitor in the honor system which value women less than men before he makes good on his undertaking to my honorable friends . Speaking as the oldest son who has not seen any benefit from that, i understand completely what she says. I reflect on her request and she speaks for many people around the country wishing to seek fairness and equality the way we do these things. There are families that have children suffering from epilepsy, many who had canvas when driven unlawfully or huge sums of money for medical cannabis. On 18 march, in several months time made available on 19 september, when will to assure those children made it legally . The disparate difficulties for people who require medical use, that we changed the way we do things. The nhs made clear, and the prescribed for medicinal use. It was in the best interest of their patients and i can tell my answer is not while we take it up personally with him and the secretary of state so he gets the satisfaction he needs for reassurance. When a high profile person was accused of a sexual crime wrongly and had his livelihood and reputation destroyed, would rather fight him in court them compensate him. Might the Prime Minister consider making it clear to the police it is their duty to address injustice rather than create and perpetuate it and pay compensation rather than waste taxpayer money on malicious litigation rather than doing so. I completely agree with that. A difficult balance to be struck because we do not wish to discourage, investigate and prosecuting offenses wherever they may be no matter how high they made the. And where they manifested, should be a duty upon the police not just to apologize but to make amends. When is the Prime Minister, in relation for the general election for Free Television with 75 when is something going to be done on this . The bbc, honorable gentlemen knows full well, they should be funding those tv licenses and we continue to make that argument vigorously and you asked me to put the screws on the bbc we certainly will. It is women and children, a population of 200,000 people in the next 10 years, a former mining town with pockets of full house outcomes and with funding pumped, 20 miles away with High School Services which will my right honorable friend reversed the decision of the secretary to approve this to listen to the needs and concerns of my constituents but represented at the local area. My honorable friend, i see myself and she does good work for them. I can tell her the first step, the Health Secretary called on me at the Princess Royal hospital and asked to come forward with further proposals to help us but taking up further points with him. More at risk, highlighted just this week, the government decision to scrap this with 75 without further risk of scamming. They are now expecting fraudsters to go doortodoor collecting licenses. They prioritize economic give them the funding they need to investigate and prosecute these crimes and rivers the decision to scrap that. I must correct what you said about our decision. It is the bbc and i was very clear. They should be clear what is happening. It is up to the bbc to fund these but on the point about scamming he is being reasonable and we will ensure that we give people the protection and security they need, not another 20,000 Police Officers on the streets of our country. Given widespread sadness the popular and respected member will be standing down at the next general election it gives me great pleasure to call mister richardson. It is a pleasure to be called as you have pointed out, it is unfortunately will unfortunately it will not be my right honorable friend the Prime Minister. I would like to ask my right honorable from the Prime Minister, many members like myself last night but voted against we would be delighted to accept a reasonable compromise for this bill and this was not a vote for revocation and discussed. I tried to thank my right honorable friend for his support and i thought he was going to ask. He was going to be rebuilt along with many others across the country. I congratulated him as the conservative member and the lighted on all the work he has done. On the bill, mister speaker. Im delighted the house voted in favor of the bill. They will the end but not the means. They voted to delay brexit again and they must now see what the eu says about that request for the land bible study their answers closely to see how we proceed. Last saturday the Football Club players experienced racist slurs, were spat upon and experienced the most disgusting behavior during a grassroots match. Will the Prime Minister congratulate the manager for taking the players off which was a very courageous decision and can he explain to the house why bigotry has currently been emboldened under the current government . [shouting] mister speaker. The honorable lady who until her last point, racism in football is utterly disgusting and should be stamped out at every possible opportunity and she will have seen what happened in bulgaria. Im delighted to say the head of the Bulgarian Football Association was dismissed from its position as a result of what happened in that match. We will do to stamp out racism wherever it takes place in this society and whatever form it takes. Thank you, mister speaker. I want to see coverage throughout my constituency so i support the Network Initiative between the government and providers. The reciprocal agreement ensures my constituents across the United Kingdom. Will Prime Minister assure me he understands the connectivity is a top priority and the funding that needs to get going . Once again the voice of scotland, thank you very much to my honorable friend, we are indeed engaged in leveling up not just the provision of broadband across the whole of the country but also improving mobile signal as well. It is our ambition to have 90 of the uk covered by 4g mobile signal with planning laws to make it easier for the infrastructure to be put in place and the chancellor assured me the honorable ladys particular request will be addressed. The mayor of london has cut air pollution in Central London by a third. The Prime Minister support the mayors plan to expand that zone and does he oppose the third runway at heathrow that will reverse these games . I am ask and allies to as the honorable gentlemen about the failure of the mayor of london to improve air quality. Where i was mayor of london, we cut nitrous oxide emissions by 16 . I can tell him this government, on the eu. It remains the case that i have lively doubts about the ability of promoters of the scheme and to meet standards of air quality and noise emissions in that matter. The right of peaceful protest. On 15 august when three weeks ago propakistani organizations held violent protests outside the commission. This sunday there are threats of 10,000 people brought to demonstrate outside the entire commission undivided. What action is the government going to take to prevent protests this sunday . Mister speaker, i join my honorable friend who speaks strongly of welfare constituencies in deploring demonstrations that end up being intimidated in any way at all. It is a Police Operational matter but the home secretary and she will be raising it but we must all be clear in this house that violence and intimidation anywhere is totally unacceptable in this country. Mister speaker, eight consultations of the millions of people by the league scandal. By what stage, the primary trend his government going to get a grip and this feudal system once and for all . Mister speaker, i thanked the honorable gentlemen and he raised something of importance to all our constituents and we have a strong package of reforms, we legislate to been new leasehold houses and reduce future crime rates 20, reduce future crime rates to 0 in all but exceptional circumstances and we all closed be legal loophole that subject leaseholders to an accessible cost. He raises an important issue and we are on it right now. Toxic and carcinogenic there are plans for a new gravel quarry in these courses. The influence of the minister to make sure the Environment Agency does not allow quarry anger on this gravel pit until the bromate is fully assessed. I thank my honorable friend for raising that point about a toxic bromate plume. It reminds me of emanations we hear from parts of the house. I will get on it immediately to the environment secretary and make sure thank you, mister speaker. Women have a sexual abuse often stay silent. They blame themselves for the shame and guilt they feel. They break down because they feel no one will ever be leave the man fear repercussions if they speak out. The fear of not being believed means brave women put on a smile and go about their daily life, an example of which we heard from my colleague from canterbury. This very silence provides perpetrators of that abuse the very get out of jail free card they need. Today i asked the most powerful man in the United Kingdom one single question. Does he agree with me that any woman who is subjected to sexual abuse of any kind should be believed . Yes or no . I think she raises a crucial issue many people in this country feel. And and and he was a potential victim. And the certainty someone we can turn to for reassurance and support. It does not mean as a country we will do enough. And and they are not going in the right direction. Women must have the confidence. And on the in soaring insurance system. To be launching satellites into space from europes first horizontal spaceport. In order to achieve this we need government agencies, will the Prime Minister use his options to ensure the uk and cia have the resources they need to make the most of this exciting opportunity . I congratulate my honorable friend for the prospect of this new spaceport that this government is constructing and he has done an outstanding job. We all have a favorite candidate who might take it to trial, one of the new specials the we proposed, maybe a horizontal spaceport. It will take off on a horizontal trajectory. Even if we were to recruit the right honorable gentlemen to be the first pilot there is a risk he would end up somewhere else on the earth. Maybe venezuela. Thank you, mister speaker. Im in favor of the eu i would vote for the eu Single Market. The European Union didnt exist, we would probably have to invent it. So i asked the Prime Minister about the trappings of power, to abandon reason, embrace breakfast, after so much trade and prosperity across these islands. There are clearly two schools of thought, two sides of the british psyche and the country has been divided. We of 47 years of eu membership in the context of an intensifying federalist agenda in the eu. We have a difference of National Destiny and seek a new and Better Future as a proud, independent, general, global, free trading economy. That is what we can do. That is the opportunity this country has and i hope he will support it and help us to deliver brexit, deliver the mandate of the people and get it done by october. Douglas ross. We saw what happened with money products with that shortly. It has nothing to do with the dispute from the eu. What are they doing to get it done as quickly as possible . My honorable friend, on this issue, absolutely right. My right honorable friend, the chancellor in the United States, the scotch whiskey being penalized in the way that it is and we hope those tariffs will be withdrawn as soon as possible but it has been raised repeatedly at the highest level. Myself and my colleagues, the remarks made earlier about this horrific death in s6. It is good manners to say thank you when our friends help us out. With the primacy like to express his gratitude to the 19 labor mps who voted for his deal last night and the leader of the opposition, to help push through his bad brexit deal . Mister speaker, the honorable lady for giving me the opportunity, i do indeed i think i did indeed last night and im happy to repeat again today to all members of the house who have so far joined the movement to get brexit done. I cannot yet catch her in that number and perhaps i could ask her in return to seize her mission to brussels, asking for them not to give us a deal. I think that was a mistake. I hope in the cross party spirit that she supports that she will endorse that deal. Order. We are going to leave the british house of commons as members moved to other business.
