Following the last joint committee on eu negotiations between the wales, scottish and uk governments, at a great set of principles regarding areas with eu law were published. Can the ministers please get this house and update of what tangible actions the uk governt has undertaken to institute these . Well, mr.

Theres an awful lot of Technical Work ongoing between officials, between the Scottish Governments and the Welsh Government of uk administration that many functions beneath that but were working positively in order to come to position to establish which can be devolved as quickly as possible as the power from the European Union to the uk. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Will feel like the scottish sector promised the Welsh Assembly following prexy . If so id like to sector kenny name one power that will be devolved . Mr. Speaker, i mentioned there were 60 were areas officials are working on. We want to move forward with the powers of the Scottish Government as was the Welsh Government will be extended but we also need to maintain the integrity of the uk market. We need remember everything were doing needs to do business. We want business to continue to export. Also one business to have the opportunity to take maybe some of the scottish market. Order. Questions to the Prime Minister. Dennis skinner. [shouting] thank you, mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, i know members across the house will have been appalled by last night cowardly terrorist attack in new york. Our thoughts are with all those affected and we stand united with the people of new york. Here, here. Mr. Speaker, mims on both sides of the house have been deeply concerned about allegations of the treatment in westminster. My right honorable friend the leader of the house has been meeting with counterparts in hopeful all sides can Work Together quickly to resolve this. I have written to all Party Leaders inviting them to meeting early next week so we can discuss a common transparent independent grievance procedure for all those working in parliament. We have a duty to ensure everyone coming here to contribute to public life is treated with respect. Here, here. Mr. Speaker, this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others, and in addition to my duties in this house, i shall have further such meetings later today. Dennis skinner. Is the Prime Minister aware theres been some very powerful Research Done on the question of highspeed rail . What it says is that in the suburbs of the south, the first 140 miles, 30 of it has been dedicated to tunneling to avoid knocking houses down . Yet in the north we are now told the percentage is only 2 to the whole of the north. Why . Because hs2 says its too costly to knock the houses down. Will she arrange for a meeting with people from my area and order to avoid another 30 houses being knocked down in newton . And isnt it high time that this government stop treating our people like secondclass citizens . [shouting] can i say to the honorable gentleman im sure department of transport come up should the department of transport will be happy to look into the question he is raised. But, of course, hs2, the reason why were doing hs2, is that it is important to increase the capacity of the Railway Lines going through the north texas will be an important contribution to the United Kingdom economy and i can assure him if he looks at everything that this government has done with the northern powerhouse, the midlands engine [shouting] the significant investment across and for structure across all parts of the country, this s is a government that wants to ensure that this is a country that works for everyone. I want to join the Prime Minister and add my thoughts along with others or with new yorkers. The shocking scene new york brought back all four members of terrorist attacks here, and as we degrade added space it will export its difficult ideology. Will my right honorable friend urge our International Partners to join with us in delivering the recent u. N. Resolution to investigate and prosecute daesh terrorists who can hold them to account for their vile crimes . My honorable friend raises a very important point, and it is important we ensure that we have a complete response to this issue that does involve dealing with the problem but also deals involved in faulty with terrorism wherever it occurs. But our message is very clear that our values will prevail, at the terrorist will not win. But as we do this we do need to ensure that we work as she said with International Partners. We want to try to make sure that there is in syria and iraq, that we develop a safe place as they reemerge from this terrorist threat which is been on their sugar also affected us here and elsewhere across the world. But crucially, and weve done a lot of work in this common helping those actually to gain evidence that can be used to ensure that anybody who is involved in the horrors of attacks that we see, anybody whos involved in horrors of attacks actually can be properly brought to justice. Jeremy corbyn. Thank you, mr. Speaker. On the question of the Sexual Harassment allegations of the Prime Minister quite rightly refer to, just to put on the record im happy to meet with the Prime Minister and all Party Leaders to discuss this. We need better protections for all in this house. This house must involve workplace trade unions and that, but its also incumbent on all parties to have robust procedures in place, to protect and support victims of sexual abuse and harassment. I join with the Prime Minister incident our solidarity to the people of new york and their mayor bill de blasio for the appalling terrorist attack that took place yesterday. I hope the whole house would join him in paying tribute to the two former labour colleagues who sadly passed away this week. The member from camborne and frank, the number of aberdeen north. Both did you notice could work at opposite ends of the uk to diligent represent their community and constituency. They will be sadly missed by all of us, particularly in the labour party who they serve so well for their entire lives. Mr. Speaker, in 2010 the Labour Government intervened through hmrc to shut down isle of man scheme used to import yachts into the European Union, and thus avoid tax. A similar scheme has recently been expos relating to the import of Business Jets into the isle of man. So can the Prime Minister assure the house that hmrc investigates these new allegations diligentl diligently . The right honorable gentleman has made an number of references and discretion and i will address all of them. On the first point, it is absolutely essential and he is right that we have processes that Political Parties have processes to do with allegations of misconduct, also that obviously we have miniscule code and proper investigations take place against the miniscule code where that is appropriate. But i believe it is also crucial for everybody working in this parliament, be the work you for a member of parliament, for the house authorities or a journalist working in this parliament, that there are proper processes in this parliament for people to be able to report misconduct. And for that to be dealt with. And i think that is very important and im grateful to him saying he will meet with me, and hope other Party Political leaders, i see the lid of the is and peace is nodding his at this point, to look at this particular issue. Can also join him in paying charitable frank and candy, frank was first elected in 1987 turkey served to served to separate terms as the mp for aberdeen. Shared the administration to me for five years emma was a tireless campaigner for safety in the oil and gas industry and im sure everybody will recall the commitment with which he served in this house and join in offering condolences to his family and friends. And candy of course was first elected in 1997 when i was first elected pic she served for eight years as a member of parliament but she was a strong campaigner for womens rights in this build issues and continue to champion those causes after she left this house. Once again im sure members across the house will join in offering my condolences to her family and friends. The right honorable gentleman talked then about tech support. I can assure him that where cases are referred to hmrc in relation to tax avoidance they do take them seriously, do look into those matters seriously. We have taken action collectively as a government over the last few years since 2010 when he first came in and we secured almost 160 billion pounds an additional compliance revenue since 2010 through a number of measures that weve taken to ensure we clamp down on tax evasion and avoidance. Mr. Speaker, 957 Business Jets in the isle of man seems a bit excessive for any island anywhere, and i hope it is investigated and do tax is collected from those people that are trying to avoid it. Estimates of the skill of tax dodging range from 34 billion, which is around the size of our schools budget, to 119 billion, which is a is the size of the nhs budget. The isle of man avoidance allegations are part of a wider leak from the bermudabased law firm, said to be on a similar scale to the Panama Papers. Will the Prime Minister commit the hmrc to fully investigate all evidence of uk tax avoidance and evasion from this leak, prosecute where feasible . I had given the that audible general assurance in my first answer that hmrc does take these issues very seriously, does investigate and does take action and where appropriate tax loopholes are closed. What is important is that if we look at the record that we have we seek him i mention the 160 billion of of additional compliance revenues since 2010. Weve announced over 75 measures since 2010 to tackle tax avoidance and evasion. Right honorable gentleman wanted done by the Labour Government. We have been continuing to act on this particular issue so we will be raising billions of pounds more as a result of that. I think most people would recognize hlr mc does rather want to collect tax hmrc. Thats its job and does look to make sure it does so as much as possible. Well, mr. Speaker, its rather strange been that britain reportedly has blocked a french led proposal which would replaced bermuda of the European Union tech save and blacklist or Prime Minister could explain why that would be the case . The Panama Papers exposed many wealthy individuals and big businesses avoid attacks to offshore trusts. Labour backed any necessary changes to toughen our laws against aggressive tax avoidance. And just yesterday, mr. Speaker, just yesterday we try to strengthen legislation on Beneficial Ownership of trust with amendments we placed the finance bill. Why did the government vote against them . Can i say to the right honorable gentleman that he raises the issue of in fact, this government has taken action in relation to that come action that was that taken by the previous Labour Government. So this is, if he says to me that the sole question of tax evasion is something that needs to be constantly looked at, i government needs to be prepared to act, my answer is yes, we are and we will. Mr. Speaker, its a strange kind of pattern here because in 2015 alone, in 2015 alone, conservative members of the European Parliament voted against five reports to introduce methods of fighting tax avoidance and evasion. And last week hmrc admitted to Multinational Companies avoid paying 5. 8 billion taxes in 2016. And despite this, hmrc is currently cutting another 8000 staff. So can the Prime Minister assure the house that in the upcoming budget, instead of more cuts to hmrc they would get more resources to tackle the scourge of aggressive tax avoidance and evasion . I have reassured the right honorable gentleman that hmrc is acting, has been acting, since his concert conservative partyn come in 2010 and will continue to act. But, of course, the right honorable gentleman in asking these questions might want to reflect on why it was before the dissolution of Parliament Earlier this year it was the labour party that stopped and refused to support tax avoidance and at the tax avoidance brought forward by this government. His party stopped it. [shouting] mr. Speaker, my question was why [shouting] conservative mps opposed what was [shouting] well, mr. Speaker [shouting] last month European Parliament inquiry set up in the wake of the Panama Papers claimed the uk is obstructing the fight against tax dodging and moneylaundering. And just last week the eu competition commissioner announced an inquiry into uk taxation rules that may have institutionalized tax avoidance by multinational corporations. Isnt the Prime Minister concern vital revenue is being lost to fund schools and hospitals . Will she changed the rules in the budget . Cant i say to the right honorable gentleman, we have taken extra 160 billion pounds an additional compliance revenue since 2010. And he says, he comments on measures that were being proposed this week. As i sit in my previous answer, we wouldve had more tax evasion, at the tax evasion measures in place at the labour party have not blocked them before the last election. This party and government has been not just acting in the uk, weve been working with the crown dependencies, working with the british overseas territories, and we been leading the world it was a conservative Prime Minister [shouting] it was a conservative Prime Minister who put this on the agenda of the g7 and the g20 for International Action against tax avoidance and evasion. [shouting] mr. Speaker, if we are leading the world, perhaps she could explain how the amount of tax paid by the superrich in income tax has fallen from 4. 4 billion, to 3. 5 billion since 2009. Earlier this year the Public Accounts Committee said the hmrc record of getting multimillionaires to pay the taxes was, and i quote, dismal, and that the superrich were getting help with their tax affairs that is not available to other taxpayers. Our schools budget being cut. More people waiting longer for treatment. [shouting] more people order. We do tend to have large over excitement and weak but i just give notice for those of you commissions are like to get to the end of the order paper to facilitate backbench inquires as well. Some members are eating only into their own time, all the time in the world. Jeremy corbyn. Mr. Speaker, since members of physical excited i must say it again. Our budgets are being cut. [shouting] more people waiting longer for treatment of the National Health service. More elderly and disabled not getting the social care they need. Does the Prime Minister think it is acceptable that when it comes to paying taxes, there is one rule for the superrich, and another for the rest of us . The top 1 of earners in this country are paying 28 of the tax burden. That is of the highest percentage ever under any government. [shouting] and once again the right honorable gentleman is wrong. Over the next two years, 2. 5 billion pounds extra is being put into our schools, as a result of decisions taken by this conservative government. But i will tell him, he talks about spending on schools and hospitals, ill tell him where the real problem lies. Today we stand nearly 50 billion interest to those we have borrowed from as a result of the legacy of the labour party. [shouting] that is more than we spend on the nhs. It is more than was we spin onr order. The Prime Ministers answer will be heard as indicated on the question from right honorable gentleman lead of the opposite would be heard. You are a senior denizen of the house. Any extra gesticulation is not good for you. Calm yourself, man. We spend 50. Pounds on debt interest every year, payments to people we borrow, more than ns pavo, more than our school budget, more than we spin on defense but thats a result of the economy we were left by the labour party government. [shouting] and what does the right honorable gentleman want to do . He wants to borrow 500 billion pounds more that wo
