Inadvertently i would accept, i defer to you in the house of her developer minister will know the issues on virtual participation of the house itself, all decisions have been made on that basis of motions moved by the leader of the house. The house of Commons Service will be more than happy to facilitate virtual participation and dbase if the house voted for it. I am more than happy to accept. A matter for the Prime Minister the government he leads. Show these for us. Prime minister. This morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others in addition to my duties in this house, i shall have further meetings. Thank you, mister speaker. During the pandemic my constituency in northwest cambridge, i have seen ordinary citizens doing extraordinary work helping the elderly and the vulnerable and that has been repeated across the country in every single constituency. Giving true meaning to the words community spirit. With my right honorable for intake of opportunity not only to acknowledge the fantastic work that has been done by so many people but also to give a huge thank you to each and every one of these Unsung Heroes of our country. I thoroughly concur with my right honorable friend and congratulate all the volunteers for the spirit and achievements for the people of this country. I was delighted we had a first chance to honor them. The leader of the opposition. On the eleventh of may the Prime Minister said the governments covid19 strategy will be governed by the science. On the 21st of september the government says scientific advisors gave clear advice, a package of intervention including a Circuit Breaker will be needed to prevent an exponential rise in cases. Why did the Prime Minister reject that advice and abandon the science . We will do whatever it takes to fight this virus but since he quotes the sage advice i will remind him on page 1 it says all the interventions considered have associated cost in terms of health and wellbeing and policymakers will meet to consider Economic Impact and associated harm alongside the epidemiological assessment and the advice i have today is if we do the regional approach commending itself to the house and the right honorable gentlemen on monday, we can bring down the virus. And support that approach. Neither to, the Prime Minister talks of the costs since he rejected sages advice the 21st of september i remind him the our race has gone up, the infection rate, hospital admissions 275 a day, yesterday, 421 covid19 patients, and is there a clear view what is happening. They were heading in the wrong direction. On monday, the difference between this stage of the pandemic, the house knows very well the disease is a more strongly in some parts of the country than others, the figures are running 670 cases on 33 cases per 100,000 in cornwall, 530 cases in newcastle, 32, a tiered approach the we set out on monday and the right way forward. We want to put in the most stringent measures necessary in the places where the virus is surging to get it done where it is surging. His labor friends in those part of the north of england where we want to work with them to put those stringent measures in place to deliver the reductions the whole country wants to see. Will he support those measures. The Prime Minister is behind the curve again. This morning, what he just quoted including but conservative counsel, said interest statement they support restrictions, keep up, Prime Minister. The big problem but Prime Minister has from sage minutes that make it clear the two main policies, local restrictions simply havent worked. They play a vital better part and they do not have a second spike. Track and trace, their words. A marginal impact, and, lets not have the usual nonsense. It is somehow knocking the nhs. And after 12 billion pounds, these track and trace system have gone so wrong. Thanks to nhs test and trace, testing more than any other country in europe. You know where the disease is surging. It is regionally distributed rather than nationally distributed, that is a chance to do the right thing, he wants to close businesses in areas across the country where the incident is. He wants to do it now. And nothing in the areas where the instance is higher, calling for a National Lockdown. To impose more stringent measures, he failed even to turn up. I know for someone whos been an opportunist all his life. It is difficult to understand but having read and considered the sage advice, the circuit break in the national interest. Genuinely concluded, it is the failure of the Prime Ministers strategy that means tougher measures are unavoidable. Sage advice that a Circuit Breaker should act to reduce, should reset the incidence of disease for a lowerlevel answer the epidemic back by approximately 28 days or more. All three are vital and that is why labor practices. Can the Prime Minister tell us what is his alternative plan to get are below one . The planet plan the right honorable gentlemen supported on monday. To seize this moment to avoid a misery of another National Lockdown in which he wants to go head long by delivering a regional solution. Opportunism is the name of the game for the party. They back the war he backed the rule of six and refused to vote for it. The spokesperson said that a National Lockdown would be disaster us. At 5 00 he was calling for it. Lets go back to the approach on monday, lets try to avoid the misery of another National Lockdown which he would want to impose as i say in a headlong way, lets Work Together as he was prepared to do to keep kids in school who he would yank out of school in a perimeter he way, and keep jobs and livelihoods supported in this country and take the commonsensical regional approach and kindly spell out to all the colleague across the whole of the country that is the best way forward is indeed he did on monday. It is apparently opportunistic. And this morning he supports a circuit break. And are below one. I cant think of a single scientist to back. He will note the chief medical officer, the chief medical officer, it is not confidence nor is anyone confident that the proposals for the highest rate would be enough. Is tier 3, the highest tier. Why is the Prime Minister so confident his approach will get it below are one or is that no longer the government plan . He is misrepresenting the position, what our advice is, the regional measures of tier 3 at all levels were implemented in full with the support and active cooperation as we have seen from the city region like i paid tribute, i thank him for what he is doing and full and proper enforcement if they were able to conduct proper local test and trace, then yes those measures would deliver, mister speaker, the reduction in the our local regionally that we need in order to avert what none of us want to see, except the right honorable gentlemen having performed this extra a uturn, none of us wants to see and that is the disaster, the disaster of a National Lockdown. We dont want to go there. We want the regional approach and he should cooperate. I supported the government on all measures so far and i take them up on it but this measure is wrong at a Circuit Breaker is in the national interest, the government has rejected it. And we are at the tipping point, and answer a question. The telegraph quotes senior government sources saying the chances the Prime Minister backing a circuit break in the next two weeks are 80 . Is that right . Why doesnt he do it now, save lives, fix testing or protect the nhs. This is supporting the government one day, performs dramatic uturn, and pull support the next. He wants of measures and refuses to everybody can see what he is doing. Labor said it themselves. Good crisis for the labour party and the one they wish to exploit. We see this as a National Crisis so we are going to turn around and the way we are going to do it, i rule out nothing in combating the virus. The local, regional approach, will drive down the virus if it is properly implemented, that is what he should be supporting. He supported on monday, this is the opportunity to keep things going, keep our kids in school, to keep our business is going, that is what people of the country want to do and to suppress the virus where it is surging. I hope not for the first time he will change his mind. One of the great unsung achievements of the Coalition Government was the extra help of businesses. As an experienced father himself the pm knows how vital baby to baby contact is as well as support networks for new parents. Lockdowns make that when they are most needed, they have dwindled and safe context. Will Prime Minister urgently look at reversing this and supporting apparent infant premium proposal by the Parent Infant Foundation to lockdown babies catch up . Mister speaker, i thank my right honorable friend. Is that experienced father himself but inexperienced campaigner on this issue. I am very pleased they have continued throughout this crisis to prioritize our vulnerable families and that is what they are going to do throughout the winter and drop the pandemic. Ian blackburn. Yesterday the end of the Job Retention scheme will lead to one of thousands of businesses across scotland and United Kingdom demanding thene tory government on its reckless plans scrapped the game. Prime minister, in the next fortnight you have two choices, extend this scheme on us like sonata and unemployment on our people this winter. What is the Prime Minister going to choose . What is the Prime Minister going to choose . I think the right honorable gentlemen. The chancellor has unveiled the job support system, a scheme that will go through to next year and for those, with universal credit which is going through 50,000 through next april at least. Ian blackburn . That and so does show the Prime Minister, universal credit, what the Prime Ministers saying to those who could be saved, people dont want to hear the excuses we get, these half measures, they lost their jobs, the highest rate of redundancy since 2009. We are headed towards a tory winter of mass unemployment created by the Prime Minister and the chancellor. We know what the Prime Ministers tori colleagues are saying, primary straps next job could be on the back benches, he just doesnt know it yet. The Prime Minister, does he realize he will never not ever be forgiven for the damage is about to cause people up and down southland. I say to the right honorable gentlemen this gentleman is continuing to support people across the whole uk, many billions of pounds for scotland alone but i will congratulate the support for the tiered approach, and the Party Opposite some vestige of consistency in normal gelatinous behavior. Doctor matthew offers. On monday i met with the planning collective to discuss building safety. It was designed to support residential evaluation and lending on buildings over 18 million but the Housing Communities and local
