We warn all those who have died in all wars and result to try and build a peaceful future with the next generation. Last week, i asked the same question six times. He has had a week to think about it. I want to ask him one more time. Can he guarantee that next april, no one is going to be worse off as a result of cuts to working tax credits . Clear. Me be what i can guarantee you april is there albeit 11,000 personal allowance. There will be a National Living wage. On the issue of tax credits, we suffered in the house of lords that taken the proposals away for the will come forward with. Ew proposals if he once to spend the next five questions asking it all , how it fits with the new politics, i an not sure but over to you. Mr. Speaker, this isnt about entertainment. This is not funny for people who are desperately worried about what is going to happen next april. If the Prime Minister will listen to the questions that are then perhapsblic, the Prime Minister will listen to a question that was raised by his honorable friend who last week concerning tax credit changes said that changes cannot go ahead next april. What is the Prime Ministers answer to his friend . Very much the same answer i gave to him. In three weeks time, we will announce our proposals and you will be able to see what we will do to deliver the high pay, low tax, lower welfare economy we want to see. Thats what we need. We also believe its right to reform welfare. Meantime, he has to think about this. How are we going to fund the Police Service . How are we going to fund the Health Service . To pay for theg programs were talking about today . He has opposed every single reform to welfare that has come forward. The answer to the question is you will find out in three weeks time. Carry on. Stock the Prime Minister makes choices and he has made a choice concerning working tax credits, which has not worked well so far but he must be aware. A serving soldier with two children, a partner, would lose over 2000 pounds next april. I asked a question. The questions will be heard and the answers will be heard. Surely, that is the point of our parliament, that we were able to put questions to those serving. Question i have a from a veteran of the first gulf war. His family is set to lose out there is fear and trepidation about whether we will get by. Is this how the government treats veterans . Let me take the case of the soldier. All soldiers will benefit from the 11,000 pound personal allowance that comes in next year. They will be able to earn more money before they even start paying taxes. Serving soldiers that have children will benefit from the 30 hours of childcare and serving soldiers and others will be able to see our proposals on tax credits in exactly three weeks. What i would say to the serving soldier is he is not dealing with an Opposition Party who said they cannot see any use for u. K. Forces anywhere in the world. That serving soldier wouldnt have a job. Can i invite the Prime Minister to lend his mind to another area of service . I know he is hundred dig himself out of a hole with the offer this morning, which we await the detail of but there is a question of and i quote dr. Whof command cliff mann, said this winter will be worse than last winter and last winter was the worst we have ever had. Can the Prime Minister guarantee there will be no winter crisis in the nhs this year . When it comes to the Royal College of emergency medicine, sayingpport what we are about a sevenday nhs and the Junior Doctors contract. I would urge everyone and all Junior Doctors to go on the department of Health Website because you will be able to see no one working legal hours will lose out in any way at all. Pay rise and it will deliver a stronger and safer nhs. It is benefiting from 10 billion pounds that we put in, money the Labour Party Said they did not support. I believe the nhs has the resources that it needs and thats why we see a treaty more patience with more treatments, more tribes drugs being delivered. We have a Strong Economy supporting our strong nhs. Thank you, mr. Speaker. I note the Prime Minister has not offered any comment about the winter crisis of last year or what will happen this year. Re is mr. Speaker order, order. The leader of the opposition is entitled to ask questions andout a barrage of noise the Prime Minister is entitled to answer questions without a barrage of noise. Mr. Jeremy corbyn. If the Prime Minister wont say theuestions, i renowned kings fund, which has a normas expertise in nhs funding , and i National Health service cannot continue to maintain standards of care and balance the books. A rapid and serious decline in patient care is inevitable unless something is done. Which is rising faster, nhs waiting list or nhs deficits . With the deal directly kings fund. What we have done is appoint a new chief executive to the nhs. He produced the stevens plan he said required these 8 billion pounds of government funding. We are putting in 10 billion pounds behind that plan. The result you can see is we have a 1. 3 million more operations, 4. 7 million more diagnostic tests. What is going up as the number of treatments, successful outcomes. If he wants to know who is heading for a winter crisis, i would predict its the labour party. Look at his appointment. Policyisor his new advisor, a communist. Mr. Speaker. I raised was the National Health service in case he had forgotten. I would like to remind him that since he took office in 2010, the english waiting list is at the by one third. Peoplere now 3. 5 million waiting for treatment in the nhs. If this party cannot match his actions by his words, i put this to him. Will he just get real . A problem. Its in a problem of deficits in many hospitals, a problem of waiting lists, of the financial crisis. Issue now addressed that and ensure everyone in this nhs . Ry can rely on the he talks about the Health Service. Let me tell in what has happened since i became Prime Minister. The number of doctors is up by 10. 5 thousand. Fewer patients waiting more than 52 weeks to start treatment and we have introduced the cancer drugs fund. And we have seen rates of hospital acquired infection plummet down. Because we have had a Strong Economy, because we have some of the strongest growth in the world, unemployment coming down, inflation on the floor. We are able to fund nhs. Thank you. The uks economy is by far the largest of the g 20 nations. And consumers move online soda criminals. Do you agree the powers bill must give our Security Forces the powers they need to keep us safe while ensuring the proper control and how we use that power . I think its one of the most important bills this house will discuss and its going through prelegislative scrutiny. Out very clearly what this bill is about, why its necessary. Let me make one simple point. Two medications data the Communications Data is absolutely vital in catching rapists, child of the doctors child abductors. The question is do we need that when people are using social media to commit those crimes . My answer is yes, we must help the police and Security Services to keep us safe. Thank you very much. Weeks remembrance of events, we remember all of the from past and present conflicts and we show our respect to the veterans and families. Does the Prime Minister agreed everything must be done to deliver on the military government the spirit and the letter . I agree with both parts. These services are very important up and down the country. The military covenant is one of the most important things we have where we make a promise to our military that because of the sacrifices they make, they goodd not have a less treatment than other people in our country and where we can, we should provide extra support. This is the first government to put the military government. Ovenant properly into law whether its hospital treatment, free transport, a tax discount and so many other things. Is the Prime Minister aware many Service Windows continue to be deprived of their forces change inf theres a their personal circumstances . Does he agree this is a clear breach and the spirit of the military covenants and what will he do to rectify this . We made a big change last year to make sure that many people who had remarried were able to get their pensions. That was a step forward welcomed. If there are further steps we need to take, i am happy to see what can be done. , remember in the last budget we try to put right the Police Widows situations. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Will the Prime Minister join me in congratulating the town of inconstituency, a finalist the high street awards . Will he confirm whether the u. K. Government will be Holding Discussions with the Welsh Assembly government about Business Rates to councils in wales . I join him in congratulating. I dont know if its in the same category for this prize as my hometown, which has been dominated. I might toss in conflict of interest. Wales, itld say is in is open to the Welsh Government should they choose to take the approach we are taking of devolving not business rate that business rate so there is a better connection between the money raised and decisions made to attract investments and industry to the area. Both schools which invest heavily in teaching for music, dance, art, yet while he is Prime Minister, the schools which educate 93 of our studes have cut teachers in those subjects. Legacy be that britain stopped being a world leader in creating Cultural Industries . I dont accept that. If you look at whats happened with school funding, its been protected. We want to continue protecting school funding. What i would make no apology for is a very clear focus we have on getting the basics right in our school. Its essential we get more children learning the basics, getting the basic qualifications and on top of that, its been more possible to put in place the art, dance, drama i want my children to have. Damien collins. The puddle on the port of dover. It causes chaos. As he government completes its final work on the Spending Review, will the Prime Minister give special consideration for the need for urgent situations . I recognize the Serious Problems caused to residents and businesses. We have our word implemented shortterm measures to reduce ing ampact, including us contingency measure. Thise happy to build on work. I understand the pressures and will do what i can to relieve them. What will happen this weekend . Thousands of people who served [indiscernible] its probable a Service Person would only get 31,000 pounds. I am very grateful to the gentleman for raising this issue. The defense secretary is looking at it. We have tried every year to try and make progress whether on the issue of widows, particular groups who have been disadvantaged. I am happy to look at the points he makes. Thank you, mr. Speaker. As the world societies have identified the need for one million Tech Professionals by 2020, one might bridge the skills gap through apprentices. However, for everyone plays available, 20 people apply. Will the Prime Minister double its efforts to bring the number two 3 million . To 3 million target is essential and i believe we can achieve it. One of the ways we will achieve it is making sure more of our young people have the qualifications necessary to apply for apprenticeships. Lots of people apply but when you knock out the people havent got the qualifications, the number comes down. I am delighted to announce that advice onf my apprenticeships to try to make sure we work with businesses to stratford isllion, going to help me to make sure we get businesses to deliver on this agenda. Does the Prime Minister realize my constituents faced a double when the on police cuts from its Spending Review and from the new home Office Formula which cut 14 on police . One from my watch group, one from police commissioners, the constables all saying this process is stalled. How many blue lights do we have to have before we hit meltdown . The reforms to the Police Funding formula is a consultation on which no decisions have been taken. I congratulate the Lancaster Police because crime is down by 5 over the parliament. Pounds,is 180 million which is the same as 2003. Found thatorate lancaster is exceptionally wellprepared to face its future financial requirements. Crime hasry where fallen significantly since his government took office this government took office. Thank you, mr. Speaker. My constituents went out on monday. 150derstand there are some patients in need of critical burn care. Will the Prime Minister consider offering practical humanitarian medical assistance . I think my friend is right to raise this tragic event that took place last friday. All of our thoughts are with the victims and their families. I think its a very good suggestion to look at whether we can offer specialist help and support. I will see what can be done. The Prime Minister will understand the heartbreak of the death of a child. The parents are not to know what happened to the ashes of that ild as is the case with katrina and families up and down the country. Would the Prime Minister agree to meet to discuss why we need into whaty happened to that case around a ashes baby ashes . I am happy to arrange that meeting. Im not aware of this case. Let me look at it carefully and see what i can do. I was delighted at the chance to launch the new national commission. Of the Prime Minister confirm this is the start of a new era like important decisions rose and railways will. Roads and railways low bring growth and prosperity to the region . People in yorkshire have long felt there has not been a fair enough deal in terms of transport funding on roads and rail. I think people can now see there are 13 billion pounds being spent on transport in the north as part of our plan to rebalance the economy. We continue to invest in improving. Thank you, mr. Speaker. It wasninth of september said to be select committee, and i quote, it are no plans to tell channel 4. Can the Prime Minister confirm that that remains the governments position . No discussions are underway to privatize and bus, in peril this much loved and important Public Institution . I am a huge fan of channel 4. It was a great conservative innovation. I think it was a combination of Margaret Thatcher that helped bring channel 4 to our screen. I want to make sure channel 4 has a strong and secure future. All of the to have options, including to see where the private investment could help in the future. Lets have a look at all of the options. Lets help clear our mind. Many say, private is that an public is good. Lets have a proper look and make sure this Great Channel continues to be great, many years t
