Good government depends on Public Service giving full and frank advice. Given a lifetime of service to the United Kingdom and we owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. Good government depends on Public Service giving full and frank advice. I want our Public Services to have the confidence to do that. And defending values and principles. The whole house mister speaker, the whole house will want to join me in sending our deepest sympathies to families and friends of families and children, the student paramedic who was killed in a Traffic Accident while on duty. This is a reminder of all Emergency Services who risk their lives on our behalf. And regarding the tragic accident last week. The Prime Minister is wearing green. When it is weaker the committee for Climate Change already reports they were going to miss the target. The policy ambition implementation fell short of what is required. What we need is policy to actually deliver. The primacy wants to leave a climate legacy so will she put forward the ban on patrol from 20142030 or earlier and when will she insure the wind tower . We have an excellent record dealing with Climate Change is a government. We have outperformed on our first and second budget in 2017. We are on track to meet the third and latest projection suggests over 90 of our required performance for the fourth and fifth carbon budget. We are the first major economy to legislate for net 0 emissions by 2015. The other countries following one of the most extensive Rail Networks in the world and they have to rely on their cars. Will the primus to join me in reopening a station in my constituency in the next step to improving liquid transport. Can i say to my honorable friend he has been campaigning on this issue. He met ministers, this is in an area about to benefit from refurbished modern trains from december of this year on the railway franchise. In relation to the station up here, the department of transport, the call to reopen the station, i know he will continue to campaign on behalf of all his constituents. Jeremy corbin. I regret that. The comments made about him are beyond unfair and wrong giving Honorable Service and he should be frank for it and the whole house, deeply regretting the feeling to resign in this movement. I join the Prime Minister, the family of Terry Winchell who died as part of Emergency Services giving service to people. Many people welcomed the point the prime estimate when appointed about burning injustices. Has she agreed with me that access to justice is vital to tackle injustices . Prime minister . There are many burning injustices that can be tackled in a variety of ways and that is the action i have taken as Prime Minister and home secretary and one example, the rate disparity audit which sheds a light on inequality in Public Services. It is enabling us to put into place action that people across the country whatever their background, whatever their background will have access to Public Services they need. Mister speaker, this year marks the 70th anniversary of the legal aid and advice act introduced by the postwar labor government, gave people access to justice, not just the rich. And was an essential pillar of the welfare state of the society. They slashed legal aid and the results are clearly unfair. And other notforprofit legal aid providers has more than have. There are legal aid debits across the country. Does the Prime Minister think that has helped or hindered the fight against burning injustices. The point i was making that he fails to recognize is the whole question of burning injustices is not about access to the legal system and members of the opposition, if the labour party actually really cared about burning injustices. Jeremy corbin. Some people have very short memories. It is all right. The Coalition Cut legal aid, but also brought in fees for employment tribunal. The then minister of climate relations piloted that through the house. The unison, the employment fees were canceled. Legal aid affects people. Like marcus. Like marcus, a 71yearold on pension credit, a leaseholder who is threatened with being a victim. I pay taxes and National Insurance all my life, how is it right that im being bullied and threatened with homelessness the state wont protect me and goes on to say i have been working every night for the past 6 months collecting evidence. Ive got no idea if i prepared my evidence correctly. Doesnt marcus try to save his own home tried deserve legal aid to get proper representation . Obviously i recognize the concerns marcus has about taking his case but the right honorable gentlemen might reflect on the fact that a quarter of the ministry of justices budget is spent on legal aid. We spend 1. 6 billion pounds on legal aid last year which committed to ensuring people can access the help they need in the future but that is only one part of the picture. We published the plan for Legal Support to maintain and improve access to those in need and conducting a fundamental review of criminal legal aid which will consider criminal legal aid throughout the lifecycle of a criminal case. There are aspect of this issue we are looking at but i think it is important that we insure that we are careful, the provisions we make to legal aid and a quarter of the ministry of justice budget is spent on legal aid. Just so everyone is aware labor is committed to restoring legal aid funding for family law, for family law, for housing, for benefits appeals, nutritional review preparation, inquests, and real action on immigration cases and as we announced yesterday, we will enter leasehold scandal. The work in pensions is failing disabled people. The ministry of justice spent tens of millions of pounds each year depending appeals, 2 thirds of which were won by kindness. Rather than spending millions defending incorrect and often immoral decisions, wouldnt that money have been better used increasing Poverty Level benefits and providing legal aid disabled people wrongly denied their basic dignity . What this government has done for disabled people, we are committed to tackling these things so everyone can go as far as their talents take them. People with Health Conditions at a record high. We are seeing many more people, over 900,000 more disabled people in work as a result of what this government has done but the right honorable gentlemen is really interested in tackling injustices the biggest injustices to tackle is in his own labour party and deal with antisemitism. Jeremy corbin my party is totally committed to eliminating racism in any form, antisemitism in any form and while she is about lecturing how about the investigation into islamohphobia in her own party. Mister bowie, you are as noisy as your illustrious late namesake, david bowie. Nothing like as melodic. Jeremy corbin. Mister speaker. One lecture she might not want to take from me but she might care to listen to what the United Nations said when they, quote, condemned the uk government for its grave and systematic violation of the rights of disabled people. And 200 Million Pounds in compensation, people wrongly deported from this country. And their lives pulled apart. People have given their life to this country and services. And that scandal would not have happened if legal aid hadnt been cut by the government, those people were denied any representation in court. The right honorable gentlemen clearly lets look at the issue of people in the winthrop generation. I apologize for what people happened in the winter generation. I am very clear they are british, they are here, they have a right to be and this should not have happened. We apologize for the mistake that has been made. He raises questions about people who were incorrectly deported. The initial historical review, around 11,800 detentions and removals which they looked at, they identified 18 people most likely to have been wrongly deported or removed. Also six were removed or detained under the last labor government and i say to the right honorable gentlemen the way he talks you would think he was a man of principle but what have we seen from him . Labor policy is to ban nondisclosure agreements his staff has to sign them. He was antiracist, now he is antisemitism. He has been a eurosceptic all his life, now he backs remaining. The words of marx, those are my principles and if you dont like them, i have others. [shouting] i know the right honorable gentlemen, when marx is responding, only goes to point out the side show. Coming from the Prime Minister who created a hostile environment talking about the wind rush scandal, who ordered go home vans to drive around london, refuses to acknowledge islamohphobia in her own party and his party consorts with racists and antisemites in the European Parliament and sucks up to those governments across europe, we dont need those kind of lectures. One Legal Aid Firm says we see more people, more desperate and in more extreme need than they were 5 years ago. There is nowhere to send them. Those people are invisible to the system. This is a denial of peoples basic rights. The laid cuts have overwhelmingly affected the poor and people with disabilities. Without equal access to justice there is no justice. Today in modern britain millions are denied justice or they dont have the money. Isnt that a disgrace . Isnt that a burning injustice . The right honorable gentlemen may do his best to ignore antisemitism in his party but i think he should listen, i think he should listen to the words of the former labour Party General secretary who said who we may be the party of antiracism once again. He has asked questions about government. Let me tell him about injustice. It is an injustice when you force people who are working hard day and night to earn an income for their family to pay more taxes because the labour Party Economic policy in government led to the destruction of our economy. What do we see from the labour party . They want you to pay more taxes was you by home they want you to pay more taxes. He wants to leave something to your children they want you to pay more taxes. Labors 9 billion pound family tax, labor used to have a slogan of education, education, education, now it is just tax tax tax, injustice injustice. [applause] [shouting] im a unionist with every fiber of my being and that is colleagues going through participation in the referendum without a section where Public Services in scotland are mismanaged and an economy that is pursuing policy that cuts off circulation and not because they are in the interests of scotland. Will the Prime Minister join me in the legal referendum and prioritize the interests of the people of scotland. My honorable friend is right, the people in scotland in 2014, it was a once in a generation vote. Now laying the foundation front of the vote in 18 months time. The s p often claims scotland is being ignored by and s p government obsessed with another referendum against the wishes of the clear majority of scotts. People who agree with my honorable friends, people in scotland, the Scottish Government focuses on improving their schools, improving their health service, improving their economy, not one that focuses on separation. Every time the Prime Minister speaks in scotland, the vote goes up. Mister speaker, mister speaker, mister speaker, today is memorial day. I trust everyone in this house will want to recognize the unbelievable sacrifice, yesterday i met some of the survivors of genocide. We must do all we can to call out the genocide deniers, that we lend the lessons for mans inhumanity to man in the continent of europe and never again should this happen in europe or anywhere else. Can i join with the Prime Minister, a pity candidate for leadership did not stand up in the United States yesterday. Can i pay tribute. The only parliamentarian to sit in the house and the Scottish Parliament and European Parliament, scotland wants to get on. Mark carney said the uk economy does not appear to be growing. To depict the financial crisis of 2008, the uk is already in recession. They are with us, will the primus to ignore what they want in times of recession. In relation, i agree with him, we hope humanity will learn from it. All too often we see that is not the case. I was in the summit in poland working encouraging them. Working together to see political stability for their people in the future. The right honorable gentlemen talked about the state of the uk and im pleased to see we have the best record in the g7 in terms of growth, the longest quarterly period of growth of any of the countries in the g7 and i say to the right honorable gentlemen we have record numbers of people in employment, record low unemployment and investment in our economy. This is an economy that is doing well but it could really take off and if the right honorable dental and had voted for brexit and voted for a deal. Perhaps we can look at the facts. The brexit bill so far for Financial Services companies alone is as much as 4 billion. Farm investment project in the uk, 14 , the lowest level in 6 years, car production fell 15 in may, the 12th straight month of decline. The uk retail sales experienced the worst june on record. The near stagnation of the Service Sector in june, one of the worst performances seen in the past decade. We have the evidence, Prime Minister. How your legacy will drive the uk economy into the cliff into another recession. How does the Prime Minister sacrifice the jobs and livelihoods of people across the uk to please backbenchers. Take no deal off the table and take positive action to restore confidence in the economy. The blame for any recession at the door of the brexit just government that is incapable of doing the job. The right honorable dental and talked about the car industry. He didnt reference the fact that in the last week we have seen the announcement by jaguar land rovers about electric vehicles, 2700 jobs at the plant and bmw announced they will manufacture electric many, 5000 jobs in that plant. The right honorable gentlemen knows that he could take no deal off the table by voting for the deal. If he wants to talk about economic forecasts and the future of the economy he should get more reflection on the fact the forecasts for scotland show that its economy will grow slower than the rest of the United Kingdom under s p government. The work can be beneficial especially when delivering on the peoples priorities. Will you agree with me the excellent work on the Council Leadership which is conservative would award a fund that we could all agree on the keynote of our local community . The point he makes is what we have seen is the benefit across Party Working. This could be immensely positive for the local communities. And to the next phase we believe in that, and across Party Working to show what can be achieved. Children as young as 7 were groomed and exploited for displacing drugs to move across the country and treated as couples and victims but 2 thirds of counsel having no plan for this kind of expectation. If she was to secure any legacy, will she instruct the secretary across departmental to tackle the crime and criminalization of multiple ones. Can i say to the honorable gentlemen we are continuing our work, the government responded to the review of the modern slavery act and we took on the majority of recommendations from the independent review including independent guardians the we hope created the concept we created looking at the issues he references of criminalization forced to undertake elective it is addressed in the modern slavery act to look at what we can do bringing the end to this crime. Due to extreme pressure and services, leaders of health and human services, an incident where the pressure has impacted one hospital in particular. This is worrisome for all families. Will my right honorable friend assure me she will do what she can to enable Health Benefits to resolve the situation as soon as possible . Can i say to my honorable friend it is an important issue for her and her constituents and we are aware of the issues. We know the hospital is taking steps to rectify. Formal council took 2 Million Pounds of additional funding, how to alleviate pressures on the nhs trust. I assure my honorable friend the secretary of state will meet mps to discuss this matter recognizing the importance of this issue for constituents. In the run up to the 2010 general election the conservatives in my constituency claim, and within a matter of months, we are closing demand downgrading them. They are proposing half of those that remain leaving for fulltime children after the original 9. Will Prime Minister tell us what sort of guarantee the government can give for any future policy they want people to believe . Prime minister. We recognize the importance of ensuring children have access to highquality care. We are putting extra money in social care including children but also the sort of services that are delivered. It is important for us that we have taken a number of steps to improve the facilities that are available when looking after children
