Can the Prime Minister guarantee any agreements that produce sovereignty will be protected for the whole of the United Kingdom and they will exit on the 30 first of december as a whole . I can make that guarantee and our position on fish hasnt changed. We will only make progress if the eu accept the reality we must fear would control access, very important at this stage to emphasize that. Thank you, mister speaker. Todays International Day for the lamination of violence against women and girls. On average a woman is killed by a man every 3 days, a shocking statistic and the pandemic has made a significant increase in the mystic abuse. I am sure the whole house would agree to end domestic violence. The Prime Minister may remember in august of last year the ministerial code says, quote, there must be no harassment, no leaking, no misuse of taxpayer money or conflicts of interest. Thats 5 promises in two sentences. How many of those promises does the Prime Minister think his ministers have kept . Prime minister . The ministers of this government working hard and doing an outstanding job in delivering peoples priorities, and if you wait a little longer, you will hear the ways the government is taking the country forward with one of the ambitious programs in infrastructure for generations and if he wants to make alletions about ministers, hes welcome to do so with choices. Why dont we go through these commitments starti with harassment, the former independent advisor of ministerial standards colude the home secretarys behavior was in his words in breach of the ministerial code and he said can be described, intimidating or insulting behavior that makes an individual feel uncomfortable, frightened, less respected or put down, what message does the Prime Minister think it sends that the independent status wa resigned but the home secretary is still opposed. Prime minister. The home secretarys decisions are amounted for him but the home secretary has apologized for any way the conduct fell short and i make no apologyor standing by home secretary who is getting on with delivering on peoes priorities including 6000 of the 20,000 police on streets to fight crime instituting considerable resistance in australianbased immigration system, getting on with delivering what the people of this country, once you show a steely determinaon, that is why i continue to bash them. The reality is any other Prime Minister any other home secretary would have resigned. Onto the mets, over the summer we saw restrictions, the Prime Ministers plans to go into a Second National lockdown were leaked all over the National Papers resulting in a truly chaotic press conference and more leaking in the last 24 hours. This serial leaking is causing huge anxiety to millions of people about what happens next. There is supposed to be an inquiry underway but can the Prime Minister telus is he closer to working out who in his government is leaking this information . I already told you as soon as we have any information we will bring it to the house, the right honorable gentlemen is concentrating on trivia, to see his support and support of politicians across the house for tough measures we are putting in, he makes various attacks on leadership and handling of the ministerial code. If the leader of the opposition whetheor why what still a meer of the labour party. Does he support vital members and membership of the labour party. What is the answer to that question . The fact that Prime Ministers queions, not the leader of the opposition. Thankfully we dont want to lose it. The difference is i am tackling issues in my parties. I take it from his answer that he has no idea who is leaking from his government so that is in the no call him. The most serious of the problems of the codeno misuse of taxpayers money. For weeks i raise concern about the government spraying taxpayer money on contracts that dont deliver. The Cabinet Office response he just the government purchase not 50 million unusable items, but 180 million and a new report by the office identifies the farthest set of 215 Million Pounds of faith marks in the us that it cant use. Will the Prime Minister come theme . How many hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayer money has been wasted on equipment that cant be used . Prime minister. 99. 5 of the question answered directly instead of 32 billion items this country has secured conformed and higher early to what we checked, of all the lines of attack we heard so far, if you remember, the National Pandemic on a scale we hadnt seen before, the government was being attacked bthe labour party for not moving fast enough to secure ppe, to unblock the blockages in the system, that is what he said at the beginning of the pandemic and complain we move too slow. The prime minter doesnt know how much tax money is sted or doesnt care. So far harassment leaking taxpayers money. It is not looking good so far. The next one is no perceived conflict of interest. Let us start on this one. Last week we learned about connections that were 10 times more likely. This week the sunday times reports the Health Secretary appointed his closest friends to key advisory role, this friend is a major shareholder specializing in lobbying of the government, and with the government contracts during the pandemic. Was the Prime Minister aware of this conflict of interest . Prime minister . Insofar as there are any conflicts of interest, all the contrasts, shifting heaven and earth to get the ppe treatments. The hatred of the private sector. And government working with the private sector that the uk produced the worlds first reusable treatment for this, the worlds first, worked hard to secure huge numbers of the worlds first Room Temperature vaccine. It is common sense conservative government working with the private sector rather than obama dating them and relying exusively on a deranged form of state control. How much could you have done that . Kcking the taxpayer. And wasting public money and obvious conflicts of interest. The same old story. One is public and the other for the Prime Minister and his friends. Look at the contrast for public money, a contract that wont deliver, and pay raises for the key workers who kept the country going during the pandemic and you get a blank check but if you are on the frontline tackling covid19, picking up the bill, will the Prime Minister get his priorities right, stop wasting taxpayer money and give police officers, firefighters, re workers and other key workers the pay raise they obviously deserv key workers, Public Sector workers as he knows, the army, the nurses are getting 12. 6 more than they were 3 years ago and to continue to increase living wages, the government is not only delivering preschool meals descending on developmentsround the world. The coronavirus package, 200 billn pounds package support with livelihoods across the country, overwhelmingly prioritized and theeason we can do that is we have a government that understands the strong economy. And to allow the economy to boce back, thats what the government is doing. The promised increase in education funding. It is spent on School Building repair for voluntary control, and these types of schools were unable to apply the most recent in urgent need of repair. Yes indeed. That is why we are located 500 Million Pounds this year for essential maintenance and upgrades on top of 1. 4 billion and 20 Million Pounds going nearly 6 million to academies trust, i trust you to continue, ian blackburn. A sourcof unity are cross the United Kingdom. Every major party makes it a mission of helping the most vulnerable. And that remains the commitment. The senior government minister. Prime minister . The point that they invented it. They delivered the poorest and neediest in the world, in any you, one of the biggest, the secondbiggest in the g7, whether in percentage terms or cash terms and that will continue. Weve seen a massive increase, for collected overseas commitments but the right honorable gentlemen will note that is a huge benefit to scotla, people doing a fantastic job in development overseas. Ian blackburn. I am glad the words i caught were his and that is what he told the house of commons and i take it what has gone on, 0. 7 remain in place. We need to recognize covid19 is a global pandemic, some nations, one bank estimates the pandemic will push an estimated 170 billion people in property and they are rising. 11 Million Girls never account for education. Around the world. Does the Prime Minister agree with me, keeping it at 0. 7 is not only the right thing to do but the sensible thing to do helping with the eradication of covid19. Prime minister. The uk should be playing a leading role in eradicating covid19 around the world and that is why one of the wonderful features is approved, it is going to be sold at cost and i wonder if he knows how much the uk will give to the global vaccine alliance. We should be proud of what we are doing, 800 million to say nothing of what we are doing and other organizations. We are in the lead in promoting not just inventing vaccines and making sure they gethose vaccines. They should be very proud of what they are doing. Kate griffiths. Thank you, mister speaker. I welcome what the Prime Minister said, by 2025, meeting its target, hands Prime Minister. They will use the freedom after the policy, to beautify the landscape, less prone to flooding, for the nature of the climate fund. Several ousand hectares by 2025. 3 weeks ago i asked the prime minist to support extreme hardship during covid19 by raising the allowance by 20 poun a week. The ministers havent found that mon, they found hundreds of millions of contrts handed t to that. Can i ask the Prime Minister again, will he raise the allowancey 20 pounds a week, will he explain why conservatives, dont deserve extra help. Prime minister. I will be happy to look at that grant again, you look at what we have done, substantial increases in living wage, doing our best to support our crossbow whole of th uk, with remarkable features, is the benefits to fa disproportionately. They welcome the valuable contribution, and keeping its space for constituents facing challenges, are not having that, now is not the time for that. I do agree with that and we have frozen ministerial sin 2010 and i know others have hed my honorable friend and i encourage them not to proceed. Lets go to Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland community is concerned, fully implementing on the first of january. Their top priority is to ask the eu for adjustment and risk, this request is therefore a stacked protocol through the transition period. Willful Prime Minister give support to the task . Prime minister . We will not extend the transition but we make arrangements to help our businesses in Northern Ireland and a 1year adjustment for disruption to the flow of medicine and we launched a 200 million support service to help others and that goes into more details announced shortly. Thank you. Flood risk is a key concern for many constituents, for flood risk would be once in 100 year eventuality but the village floated three times this year alone. Will my right honorable friend commit to seriously beefing up as part of the planning process . An expert on that, what i can say it is important local authorities follow rules in making planning decisions, with 2 billion pounds to protect 300,000 at risk across the country. Greater manchester system cuts carbon emissions. Over the Prime Minister extends to the sector to improve access and muchneeded support to businesses of my constituency . I am grateful to the honorable gentlemen, i will study the plan with care though i should tell him there is already a massive Infrastructure Program underway already and it may be as the chancellor will nounce in due time could benefit from those investments. Andrew rossiter. With the london area potentially entering lockdown measures and the devastating consequences this will have on jobs, livelihoods, businesses and physical and mental health. As the Prime Minister is committed to following the evidence we agreed to full public costbenefit analysis on its impact on our economy and Public Health before he introduces anything that will lead to years of economic harm that could end up being worse on peoples lives than the virus itself. I have a high regard for my honorable friend and hes right to hold the danger that lockdowns can do, they have to be weighed against the damage of coronavirus that drives out all other patients from hospitals that affect the health of nonabca24 patients and we will be setting out analysis with health and social impacts of the tiered approach, and the tearing decisions as weve done in the past. When 72 londoners burned to death because of planning defects we also never again, hundreds of thousands, the nonexistent ew x one form. Will the Prime Minister commit, the 2017 secretarys promised to end this near feudal absurdity of tenure once and for all. She is right to call attention to the despair difficulties, i supervised very much with Mortgage Companies and realize they are not necessary for buildings under 18 meters. And we get on with the work of removing planning from all the buildings we can and that is what the government is continuing to do. I welcome a green industria revolution, particularly commments to public transport but sustainable rules has always been a challenge. In my Constituency Community transporters trialing a low carbon the we the leaves could be a model to transform across the uk so will my right honorable friend to meet with me and kevin car about the justice model and look at the commitment of buses being used for those services . It isn excellent question. We are developing a National Bus Strategy that will look at the needs of how to get people to use our buses and championing low carbon buses for a rural mobility funds to support demands in rural areas. Increasing steadily as working families including publicsector key workers struggle to make ends made. Can the Prime Minister tell us whether he thinks the medium pay of teaching assistants of 1400 pounds, 18,000 pounds is enough to live on and i ask the Prime Minister, Public Sector, will he instead give a pay raise . She is right to value the amazing job they do for a teaching assistant, getting kids back in the next few months. And to increase Public Sector pay, inflation package for the third year. To support the increase in living wage, and we see these things because they understand how to run the strong econom reporter can i warmly welcomthe recent announcement to boost funding for armed forces, the best ways we can help our veterans the campaigns he is running to support, and the ability we are encouraging businesses to hire veterans for the national iurance tax break for businesses that do so and making it easier for veterans to join the civil servants. Yorkshire at the global fireside economy cutting carbon by 3800, and green collar jobs returning the treasury. Delaying investment for this evolution. Unployment is soaring. Will he start the recovery . As she knows, the government is treated to thindustrial revolution which will generate 250,000 jobs acss the country in the immediate term, i cant see any reason why it should not. News of the covid19 vaccine, constituents get sick to the highest Quality Asset to healthcare. They would do just that. They will make sure those plans are brought forward as quickly as possible despite labor politicians. Yes indeed. To oppose nationality, we are going ahead
