And loyal subjects, the commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in parliament assembled. We give your thanks to your majesty for the gracious speech that your majesty. I call the leader of the opposition, mr. Jeremy corbyn. Mr. Corbyn we commemorate the members we have lost in the last year. Sadly, mr. Speaker, this year must mark the passing of those days e lost in horrific and weeks. A fire has killed at least 79 people. What makes it both a tragedy and outrage, every single one of those deaths could have been avoided. The community are demanding answers and entitled to those answers. Thousands of People Living in blocks around the country need reassurance and the Emergency Services, especially rescue Foreign Services deserve our deepest respect and support. I want to play a warm tribute to my members of ken sing ton. They have demonstrated while her local community put her faith in her, her determination to ensure that every family is rehoused locally is an exemplary work as a dedicated member of parliament. We welcome to her house. Lessons must be learned in the Public Inquiry and a disaster that never should have happened must never happen again. The terrorist attacks in manchester, London Bridge and Finsbury Park caused dozens of injuries and traumatized people with willful disregard for human life. The attacks in the early hours on monday morning is a reminder to us all that hate has no creed and violence has no religion and we must stand up to hatred to whoever the target and stand together against those who would drive us apart. And last night, hundreds of people assembled along the Finsbury Park mosque to give that message. Our communities and our country are strongest when we are united. As our late colleague joe cox said, we have far more in common than that which divides us. A year ago joe was taken from us. Joe was driven by love and by an imagery. It was in the spirit of that passion for peoples lives and justice that so many events were held in her memory around the country last weekend including one in my constituency near the site of the attack that was a day later. A great gettogether. We should remember that these events continue year end and year out. Earlier this year, we lost the father of the house who had served his constituents for 47 years and previously worked for harold wilson. Oe was an iconic figure in the labour party and campaigned to bring peace to the middle east. And it was my pleasure to travel with him to many countries in the region and i loved the conversations we had with him. Nobody had a short conversation with the joe. [laughter] mr. Corbyn he will be remembered. Mr. Speaker, i want to congratulate the mover and seconder of the queens speech. Rst, i do congratulate the newest member on his speech. And i went to visit my mom and i hope he will understand the deep love of humanity that motivated those who agreed to go to the common during those days. And i would like to thank him for taking time out for his responsibility looking after his extensive Property Portfolio and pending to his directorship of the u. K. Water partnership. I hope a Labour Government will be able to come to his aid by taking water back into public wnership and to the aid of his tenants by ensuring the responsibility of tenants that ll homes are has beentation. The member will pursue his other interests in parliament and his interest in defense and africa and Rural Affairs and i agree with part of what he said when he spoke of the need to adhere of all of the agreements on climate change. I thank him for that part of his speech. Thorn, the honorable whose speech was articulate and he is a form erwinner of the university challenge. So he would be able to do that. He mentioned benjamin. He once said, if i want to read a book, i write one. Well, mr. Speaker, it seems the honorable gentleman has taken it to new levels. Writing or cowriting six books during the Seven Members he has been a member of this house. And i have been looking through the back cat logs of his book and one book stands out. It is a mustread. I hope it is reprinted. It came out in 2011 and the book said, after the coalition. I dont want to cut across his liter rear representations but perhaps a sequel may be in the offing. The latest coalition may already be in some chaos. Nothing would emphasize that chaos more than the queens speech we just heard. A program from a government that has lost its majority and apparently run out of ideas all together. This wrob a thin legislative program even if it was for one year, but for two years . Two years. There is not enough in it to fill up one year. Mr. Speaker, it is therefore appropriate to stop welcoming from what is not in the speech. Firstly, there is no mention of crapping it. Can the Prime Minister assure us, the conservative plan is now being withdrawn . Notably, neither is any mention of ditching the triple lock. Brits will be grateful to know if that has been binned. All the people might be keen to some clarity around the governments policy on social care, whether it is still what was originally set out in the manifesto or what was later amended to or Something Else entirely. And a matter of historical record but looking on a conservative website the manifesto has been taken down entirely and no longer exists. The Prime Minister like to confirm that food is not after all going to be taken from the mouths of infants and younger children will continue to receive Universal School meals. Only subject to schools, mr. Speaker, there was nothing about grammar schools in the gracious speech. Does the Prime Minister agree with her predecessor that it is dilutional that expanding the number of grammar schools is a good idea or even a right idea . Mr. Speaker, the good news may even extend to our friends. If the Prime Minister can practice the barbaric of fox hunting will be banned. The government has embarked on very difficult negotiations concerning brexit which the whole house will want to scrutinize. Unfortunately, there have been some leaks where the other side in the process expressing dismay the weakness of the governments negotiating skills. But enough about coalitions of chaos for the democratic unions party. We must get onto the issue of brexit. Labour accepted that the decision of the referendum has been taken. We are leaving the European Union. The question is how and on what terms. The government could begin negotiations on a far better footing and accept what was in the house last year and granted full rights to European Union nationals living in this country. I hope now that the minority government would indeed listen to the wisdom of this house a bit more and work in partnership with our european neighbors. I thank the rightful gentlemen. During the Election Campaign he refused to rule out the second referendum on our e. U. Membership given that negotiations have commenced, will he rule out the second referendum now . Mr. Corbyn i dont think you have been my speeches. I made it clear we would negotiate sensibly and fairly with the European Union and bring the results of those negotiations back to this house. We get a brexit deal that puts jobs and the economy first. No deal is not better than a bad deal. Its a bad deal and not viable for this country. We need full access to the single markets and customs arrangement that provides britain with the exact same benefits as now. Neither must arbitrary targets for immigration be prioritized over the jobs and Living Standards of the people of this country. Lets decide our policy on the basis of the need of our communities and our economy, not o the tune of sin civil of crosby or the hate campaign or indeed, mr. Speaker, the hate campaigns of some sections of our press, whose idea of patriotism is to base themselves in an overseas safe haven. Thank you, mr. Speaker. I thank the honorable gentleman for giving way. And i would like to ask, can you confirm the contradiction where he plans not to refuse immigration numbers but also enjoy recruiting overseas. Is it not the right gentleman that he is a bit wobbly . Mr. Corbyn we made it very clear throughout the Election Campaign and before that those employers that recruit lowpaid workers from overseas exploit them in this country and run away with the profits are wrong and making money out of poverty and grossly exploiting very Vulnerable People on both sides of the channel. The majority position on the markets is clear. What is the position on the Second Market . Mr. Corbyn again, mr. Speaker, our position has been absolutely clear. R position is we need free access to the european markets to protect industries and jobs in this country. And lets have a little bit less from the other side of the dangerous threat of turning britain itself into a tax haven which would hurt jobs and private sectors here. We do not yet know the official title of the governments much trumpetted great repeal bill. But if we are talking about taking back control, Parliament Must be able to scrutinize legislation. Thankfully, mr. Speaker, the game grule of this gracious speech allows for greater debates and greater scrutiny. That must include ensuring that the human rights act and our commitment to European Convention on human rights and the human rights of everyone in this country remain completely and totally impacted and we will surely do. By working with the administrations, responsibilities such as agriculture and fisheries will be did he involved to those administrations and not the house will be in order. Ed in whitehall. And on the subject, i wish the Prime Minister every success in reconvening talks with all parties to restore the assembly in bell fast as soon as possible. We very much hope that any done deal with the d. U. P. In this place respects the overriding priority of the good friday agreement to maintain peace in Northern Ireland. Mr. Speaker, a state visit from the spanish head of state was announced for july, but can the Prime Minister update the house that she can expect the United States head of state to visit any time in the future . Just a question. Mr. Speaker, as i said earlier as i said earlier mr. Speaker, as i said earlier, Public Service workers such as fire service, Police Received huge praise when there were terrorist attacks. But, its not good enough to be grateful to our Public Service workers only at a moment of crisis and disaster. They deserve dignity, the dignity of fully funded services , the dignity of not seeing their jobs cut and Living Standards fall. There are now 20,000 fewer Police Officers than when the conservatives came into office in 2010. Mr. En the police speaker, when the police raised this subject with the then home secretary, do you know what . She accused the Police Officers of crying wolf. I hope that current Prime Minister will correct the mistake of the former home secretary. The gracious speech promises them all the powers they need. But what the police and Security Services deserve and the public demands is that they will have ll the resources that we need, all order. Order. It is clear that the member of the opposition is not getting way. For those firefighters worked incredibly long shifts, in part because there are 600 fewer firefighters in london. 10 fewer fire stations in london, cuts in closures forced through by the previous mayor of london and talking to those firefighters, mr. Speaker, exhausted from their work who went into a burning building to save people, i said why do you do it . Why do you go in because you know it is difficult . Its because we are firefighters and what we are trained to do. We need more of them. There needs to be greater security for all of them in the future. We have to properly fund our fire services, not just at a time in crisis. Mr. Speaker, i welcome the fact of the questionery, but can we take action now . And the council for its ommitment this week to install sprinklers. But such minimal fire Safety Standards cannot be left to a postcod lottery. Will you make emergency funds to councils and restore sprinklers . The government should be committed to a Public Safety bill to implement the recommendations of the 2013 inquiry into the fire and revert its guidance to remove a requirement to remove sprinklers. It could do so. Additional to any other recommendations that come from the tower inquiry. What he said about sprinkler systems to highrise flats. We have 116 in my city. At the moment, only eight knows the recommendations have sprinklers and 30 Million Pounds in all of those flats. Would the gentleman with me to provide the money for all local authorities to put sprinklers into high rises . Mr. Corbyn i thank my friend and during the discussion we held in westminster hall, my friend raises a similar point about the number of tower blocks and i dont suppose many members live in tower blocks. Just think of the sense of fear that so many people had. They are living on the 15th, 16th floors, no helicopter can land and reliance not able to get out or the fire to be contained. We need to give everyone that assurance and local authorities that have seen massive cuts in their budgets over the pass past years need the resources to install the necessary sprinkler systems and Fire Prevention systems and cannot use the excuse that money isnt there. The money has got to be there to ensure we save lives in the future. And we will support the government if it is able to bring that forward. Must move on. I want to thank him for visiting the area and making this an absolute priority. Will he ensure and the government ensure that Disaster Relief in North Kensington and the issue of people is made the absolute number one priority . Mr. Corbyn thank him for the support he has given and the work that has been done there. Because whats happened in the tower is terrifying for all those there and i have to say the problems that have been ensued since then and what happens when you cut local authority spending to the bone and local authorities cannot cope. We need properly funded good quality Public Services in this country. The Prime Minister says public support will be made available to those affected by the tower fire. They should have had access to aid beforehand. And when they were raising concerns about fire safety, they were ignored and ignored by a conservativecontrolled local authority. The lessons of the failed program must be learned. We cannot have social housing on the cheek and cannot have Public Services on the cheek. We have to invest in them. Will the Prime Minister now hold the cuts to the police, cuts that the former commissioner called an absurdity . Those cuts have affected our prisons, too, mr. Speaker. Her majesty inspector of prisons expressed his concern about the lack of prisons one that could have employed another 3,000 prison officers. Our childrens schools are facing budget cuts. Can the Prime Minister confirm whether cuts per pupil funding are going ahead . And could she clarify the status of the National Funding formula . Teachers are going through incredible stress and the difficulties of maintaining employment of teachers. The gracious speech mentioned legislation to prevent victims of Domestic Violence, but does that include restoringing legal aid or the funding to reopen the many refuges that have been closed . We welcome reform of Mental Health legislation to give it greater priority and welcome assurance that no Mental Health trust receives budget cusses this year. Will she call on the Public Service will she call time which means our nurses are 14 worse off today than they were 17 years ago . As the Prime Minister is aware, some nurses and other Public Service workers have been forced to resort to using food banks along side over a million other people in this country. Rising inflation, the effects of low pay, falling incomes are going to hit more families. The six million workers earning less than the minimum wage, those subject to benefits freeze and the 5. 5 million public servants. We owe them a lot better deal than has been given by this government in the past seven years. My party labor lost almost 13 million votes, mr. Speaker. And that was because, mr. Speaker, we offered hope and opportunity for all and a real change to our country. He Prime Minister, she began the Election Campaign saying if i lose just six seats, i w
