Speaker questions for the Prime Minister. David cameron 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. Mike even fantastically corrupt nigeria is asking britain to clean up its act and introduce Beneficial Ownership registered to the overseas territory. Will the Prime Minister achieve this at the corruption summit . Yes, we haver asked three things of the overseas territories and crown dependencies. We asked for Automatic Exchange of Tax Information we asked for ommon reporting spam and standard and central Beneficial Ownership registries. The firstdelivered on two and they will be following and delivering on the third. That is what he asked for and thats what is getting. We have unprecedented housing growth. Does the Prime Minister agree that we must build sufficient starter homes so that the dream of homeownership become something that everybody really cant afford . Prime minister i want to thank my neighbor and honorable friend for raising the question. We are building more houses and right across england. Were building more Affordable Homes. The legislation going through this house and the other place will make sure we deliver on our manifesto pledge. The homes you want to see, affordable for people to buy. Even at this late stage labour party should stop locking this bill. Corbyn thank you mr. Speaker. Celebrate Great National events in this house with the Prime Minister join me in wishing Sir David Attenborough a very happy 90th birthday cam for all the ways he has presented Nature Programs on television and awaken to the ideas of sony people to the fragility of our ecosystem. On the side of the house we are that the European Union has strengthened workers rights in many ways. In march while the Prime Minister was trying to undermine workers rights with his trade the European Commission put forward proposals to close loopholes in the posting of workers directives. Which would stop employers exploiting Foreign Workers and undercutting National Rates of pay. Will the Prime Minister confirm that his government will protect workers and will back these reforms to stop this and grotesque exploitation of many workers across this continent . I joined ther right honorable gentleman in wishing a happy birthday to david attenborough. We grew up with him as a teacher about the natural world. He is a remarkable man i am proud to say that the Royal Service ship the arctic ship is going to be named after david attenborough. There was strong support for boaty mcboatface. The submarine on the boat will have that name. We dog with our partners seize americans what is being proposed. I can tell them today that the yellow card procedure has been invoked i National Parliaments over this. Demonstrating the importance of these actions. The best thing we can do for workers rights in this country is celebrate the National Living wage introduced by a tory government. Corbyn the National Minimum wage was a labor introduction. This is a corruption of the very idea of it. My question was about the posting of workers directives. This would prevent the grotesque exploitation by unscrupulous employers of workers being moved from one nation to another in order to undercut the wages of the second nation. Will the Prime Minister be absolutely clear and will the British Government support this very very important reform to stop this exploitation . Minister we are working with the dutch government. Let them put them up on something. Hes just described to the National Living wage as a corruption. The National Living wage, seven pounds 20 an hour is a pay rise for some of the poorest people in our country. , he shouldink before get up and say he supports the National Living wage in fact the government for producing it. Support a wagei rise obviously. It is not a living wage. As is generally understood. Saying yes seems 31 of the hardest words for the Prime Minister. Couldnt he just say whether he does or does not support the posting of workers records . He might be aware that patrick mitford a former advisor the said that theher European Union has a negative effect on the city of london. And he would want the shackles of European Regulation removed. Does the Prime Minister believe that the membership hurts the city of london does he believe that the European Union regulation of the finance sector in britain and British Administered tax havens would help the sort of people exposed underlinedma papers by my friend in his earlier question . Minister we basically agree with each other about the European Union. I will try to identify a question in that lot. Disagree with the economist. He wants to see Manufacturing Industry in our country obliterated. I think theyll be a disaster step if we follow the advice that he gives. In terms of the city of london, we need the right regulation for the city of london to continue its massive rate of job creation and Wealth Creation in our country. We also need to remain members of the Single Market which is absolutely vital for this important sector of our economy. Thepe that im that as on issue of the National Living wage we can find some eight agreement. Corbyn i asked what he about the u. K. Administered tax havens that received large sums of money that shouldources and must be closed down as it should any tax evasion in the city of london. We need a British Government is prepared to chase down this level of corruption. This government has done more than any previous government to deal with this issue. Making sure that our overseas territory and crown dependencies behave in a responsible way. Taking part in the Automatic Exchange of Tax Information. That is never happened before. They signed up to a common reporting standard. They are getting central registries so we can find out who owns the companies in each territory. Realf these things are progress. Of course we would like to go further. At have public registries of Beneficial Ownership like we are introducing in this country. Not because of anything a labor government did because of the decision right conservative Prime Minister. Where i would urge him to be fair on these issues is that many of them have gone much further than many developed countries. You get more information now out of some of our crown dependencies that you would get from the United States in terms of delaware. Lets be fair about this. He should knowledge this. Cojeremy corbyn. he said he welcomed the proposal for tax transparency reporting. Conservative members of the European Parliament vote against the proposal. Did they not receive a memo from him or what . People expect that people pay andr taxes in this country tomorrow the European Parliament will be voting again on country by country reporting. Can he assure the house that the conservative members of the European Parliament will support these measures as he told us they would a month ago . Prime minister the most important things that we support these measures. It has been a conservative government has put these forward. Disagreement is i dont think we should set a minimum tax rate for these countries. That has a was been a position of labor governments that while we want to make sure all these territories behave properly we dont actually sent them a minimum tax rate. That is the difference. If he wants to swap voting records that have a whole session on it. Weve got plenty of material in here. Corbyn that was a very long answer. [laughter] he couldve quite simply said whether or not he supports these proposals and if his conservative members of the European Parliament are going to vote for them. Will be veryister well aware of the concern across the whole country about the question of unaccompanied child refugees in europe. They are in the desperate plight and a very dangerous situation. Everyones heart reaches out to them. We have to do more than that. I got a letter this week from a worker with child refugees. Childrensome of the have family members in this country. Can the prime mister confirm there will be no delay and excepting 3000 unaccompanied child refugees into this country to give them support that they need and allow them to enjoy the childhood they and all our children deserve . Prime minister we will follow the amendment. That is the law of the land. To consult for carefully with local authorities to make sure that as we take these children in we are able to house them and close them and feed them and make sure they are properly looked after. So we have the capacity of our care system. They are already struggling because of the large number of unaccompanied children that come in. Two figures can put this in context. Unaccompanied children arrived last year. Even before the scheme was introduced. The second figure is under dublin children with a connection to the u. K. Kennerly claim asylum. Weve accepted 30 such transfers since february. There wont be any delay. To follow the law, we have to talk to our local authorities. During president obamas recent visit was the Prime Minister able to talk to him about the issue of chinese dumping . Introducing tariffs of 288 . Keep backing british steel, increase the tariff and tell the chinese to go to the back of the line. I did discuss this issue with president obama. 03 United States and the European Union has taken action against chinese dumping. The excess steel capacity in china is much higher. The antidumping tariffs we have produced have been very effective and in some categories have reduced chinese exports by as much as 98 . He shouldnt believe some of the figures put around that the eu doesnt work. It does work. Were outside the eu we might be subject to those tariffs ourselves. The Prime Ministers government was elected with 37 of the vote. Im sure he would acknowledge the success of nicholas sturgeon in being returned victoriously with 46 of the vote. The highest of any Political Party in National Elections currently in western europe. On the anticorruption summit, has the Prime Minister read the appeals from nigerian campaigners who say that our efforts were sadly undermined in countries such as your own. Our corrupt to hide their illgotten gains in your luxury homes and Department Stores and car dealerships. The role of londons Property Market is to conceal stolen wealth and this has been revealed in these documents. What is the privacy going to do about this . Congratulater i Nicola Sturgeon on her victory. Im sure you would congratulate bruce davidson. [applause] we have something in common. They have gone from majority the minority. While conservatives and gone from coalition to majority. The whole point of holding that theit in london is to say action is necessary by developed countries as well as developing countries. One of the steps were taking to make sure that Foreign Companies that own u. K. Property have to declare who the beneficiaries are will be one of the ways we make sure that plundered money from african countries cant be hidden in london. Max it would be helpful if he would confirm that that list will be publicly available. Could he explain why seven Police Forces in the u. K. Have launched criminal investigations into conservative mps with electoral fraud . It that a conservative Police Commissioner conserve in such a role when being under Police Investigation . Minister lets be clear about this anticorruption summit. Nobody is lecturing anybody. One of the reasons this issue doesnt get addressed is because countries and politicians are too worried about addressing it. Knowing that no country is perfect. It is right for us to take the lead. We are entitled to raise this important issue. As for what he says about the electoral commission, the whole point of that is to be independent and the Police Forces are independently. That is the hallmark of an uncorrupt country. Congratulating k. D. Born who was reelected. Significantly for her work in helping victims. Commite Prime Minister to introducing a british bill of rights . Minister i have happy to make that commitment. What we saw in the elections was a very large increase in turnout. New role in our country is doing well. Congratulate the other winners. We all look forward to working with the mayor of london for the benefit of londoners. When he was left out of the governments plans whole businesses got together and produced a privately financed theme to do the work for city. It is been with the department of transport for two years. Does the Prime Minister think that the department of transports attitude shows incompetence or indifference to the scheme is been put forward . I think youre being unfair to the department. Passengers will benefit from 500 brandnew carriages on the railway. 1. 4 billion pounds of investment is going into whole stations. For it becomes the u. K. City of culture. I understand the department of transport is considering to complete the electrification. We have a Strong Economy and we are investing in our infrastructure. Stephenson i recently visited silent night. Created 40 fulltime jobs. Will the Prime Minister can join me in helping the Company Additional 250 pound thank you bonus . Prime minister ive happy to join my honorable friend to congratulating silent night. I rumored visiting with hand in 2014. Act then they employed 800 people. They now employing 1100 people. Businesses are expanding out of his government. Our target is 3 million apprentices in this parliament. Already in 2016 at least 46 women have been murdered in the united kingdom. This number would be much higher if not for refuges. I am begging the Prime Minister to exempt refuge accommodations from the changes to housing benefits for 2017. I dont want to hear a stock answer. He knows and i know that wont shifting. Es will he exempt the refuges . Please. We delayed the introduction of this change so we could look at all of the possible consequences and make sure we get it right so that we help vulnerable people. Mike hiv infection rates in the u. K. Are on the rise. My honorable friend will be of preexposure prophylactic treatments. Me toe agree to meet with review this on acceptable . Prime minister my understanding is nhs is considering the commissioning responsibility. I want them to make a decision on this quickly. In this month if possible. There is no doubt that there is a rising rate of infection. These treatments can help the difference. Trial sites. Ng they are already underway. He is right to raise this. I will make sure he needs to raise the issue. Every other person to my right has been an anxious Council Tenant usually a mother or father or two with three children living in a onebedroom flat. Often in tears. They cannot afford to rent in the private market. They cannot afford a starter home. Can the Prime Minister explain impractical and meaningful terms why the housing bill will not make their intolerable situation worse . There is ater series of things that i believe will help them. Ising sure the right to buy there for Housing Association tenants as well as Council Tenants with the full discounts makes a difference. Because youve got help to buy which means people need
