CSPAN Question Time January 20, 2014

Sugar aimed to reduce the sugar content of food and drink by up to 30 because of the twin epidemic of type ii diabetes. Volunteer arrangements with manufactures are wellintentioned have not work. Will the Prime Minister meet with a delegation of Health Experts to discuss this issue . Can we get his support in the war on sugar by asking him to give up sugar and sugary drinks for one day this week . Im sure the last proposal will have the strongest support of mrs. Kimmitt so i will take that up if i possibly can. Can i first of all commend the honorable gentleman for raising this issue, for speaking out on issues of diabetes and obesity with such consistency because they are major Health Concerns for our country. Were taking them very certainly. We are rolling out the Nhs Health Check program to identify all those between 4074 at risk of diabetes. Childhood obesity rates are falling but there is more that needs to be done. Im happy to facilitate discussions between him and my right honorable friend, the health secretary, to have good discussions we want. We take this seriously. We think the responsibility deal has achieved great things but theres more to be done. Mr. Speaker, last week i had the honor of opening the new Network Rail Regional operating center at Three Bridges in my constituency. Here, here. Can my right honorable friend and say what investment this government is putting into the existing rail network to help commuters and travelers over and longterm economic plan . My honorable friend is right. Investing in infrastructure is a key part of our longterm economic plan to make sure that britains economy can be a success now and the future. We have seen major investment in the southeast, all delivering new services and i can tell him that between 2015 and 2020 were planning to invest over 56 billion on roads, rail and local transport. And its important that it is three times as much as the plane investment in hs2. So to those who fear that a just to will take all the investment enabled. Three times as much will be spent elsewhere. Ed miliband. [shouting] mr. Speaker, rbs are expected to ask the government to approve bonuses over 100 on does the Prime Minister think thats acceptable . What i can tell the children about rbs is will continue with their plans for rbs that seem bonuses come down by 85 , that its in the bonus ball at onethird of the level that it was under labour, and i can confirm today that just as weve had limits on cash bonuses of 2000 pounds of rbs, issued an last year, we will do the same next year as well. Mr. Speaker, i think we can all agree with this general sentiment, but today i am asking for specific question. Rbs are talking to parts of the government about the proposal debate over 100 bonuses. He is the Prime Minister. The taxpayer will foot the bill. Will he put a stop to it right now by telling rbs to drop this idea . Ill tell him exactly what we are saying to rbs and it is this. If there are any proposals to increasincrease the overall prat his pay and bonus bill at rbs, at the Investment Bank him any proposals for that, we will be doing. What a pity the Party Government never took an approach like that. [shouting] mr. Speaker mr. Speaker, mr. Speaker however long it takes. The questions will be heard and the answers will be heard. Mr. Ed miliband. Mr. Speaker, on not asking about increases in pay our bonuses. Im asking a very simple question. Im asking a very simple question about the proposal that is expected to come forward from rbs which is to pay more than 100 bonuses on day. Now we know when rbs is making a law, when they themselves say they have been these kind of bonuses are a risky one way bet, we know it shouldnt be allowed to happen. Mr. Speaker, when ordinary firms are facing a costofliving crisis, surely he can say that the people under 1 million earning a Million Pounds, a bonus of 1 million should be quite enough. It is not asking about the overall pay and bonuses at rbs what on earth is in the . Thats what he should be asking about. And what ive said very clearly is that the remuneration, for total pay bill, at that Investment Bank must come down. I have to say, mr. Speaker, to get a lecture from the right honorable gentleman wind we had from them the biggest bust anywhere in the world at rbs can read 125 mortgages at northern rock, we had all the embarrassment about fred goodwin. He comes here every week, he comes here every week to complain about a problem created by the labour party. Last week it was betting. This week its banking. He rises up with all the authority, moral authority of reference flowers [laughter] wheres the apology for the mess they made of rbs in the first place lacks. [shouting] the last two years my counsel opportunity sudden growth and has greater 370 Million Pounds worth of investment. Youth unemployment has seen record [inaudible] given that Life Sciences barred engines for growth, was support with the government give to realize our plan of a lifesize cluster based around these worldrenowned centers of excellence . I think my right honorable friend makes a very good point about the strength that sutton has. Obviously, weve got the box to attract life science businesses to britain. Would also got the investment in apprenticeships. That is important. And, of course, the office of life science as he knows bring the Business Department help the apartment together to help bring Life Sciences jobs here, working with local enterprise partnerships i think theres a great opportunity for more investment in these important businesses. The market dawkins inquest concluded last week with a verdict of unlawful killing but it also found errors in the police investigation. Last week also saw wallis admitting he lied about the right honorable member. Does the Prime Minister except it is the urgent that we reform the independent Police Complaints commission for . First of all can recommend what he said about the importance of people respecting the outcome of the inquest. We have proper Legal Process in this country and we should respect their outcomes. He also knows theyre still an ongoing independent Police Complaints investigation into the case and we shall let it do its work. Im always prepared to look at reforms of organizations like this. There was a big reform some years ago to make the ipcc much more independent. He shaking his head and think it is a working. Very happy to look at argument. I have to say in issue of pc walls this was shocking to see an email that purported to be someone who witnessed and if it and youre told its a member of the public and it turns out its a serving Police Officer that was deeply troubling and deeply disturbing. Am not saying all is well. I think the vast majority of the British Police service to a magnificent job. They put they put their lives on the line for us day after day. Im happy to look at proposals to how we can strengthen this arrangement. [inaudible] im grateful for what my honorable friend says. I think we have seen the regionareachable growth fund pre some real economic Success Stories and that is being combined with our longterm economic plan to encourage businesses to take on employees, to put in place the infrastructure. And as he says quite importantly, to back exports in terms of britains performance and get out there and sell to the world. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Given that weve recently had reports that half a dozen terror suspects could soon be released onto our streets, can the Prime Minister give an assurance the Public Safety will not be compromised once the government experiment with terrorism controls expires . What i can assure and the house is we will always take every step necessary to keep the british Public Safety i think the measures are working well. Its a complete myth to pretend that control orders would be kept in place forever. Many, many people were taken off control orders during the resistance of that set of measures. And all of the time i listen very carefully to the head of the metropolitan Police Service and to the heads of the Security Service were involved in drug of these measures and who advises on how best to keep our country safe. In the First Six Months of last year, we benefited from the highest number of business startups in our history. The unemployed claimant count is down to 2. 5 . Will the Prime Minister join me in praising the entrepreneurial spirit and also redouble governments efforts through ukip to have more grocery firms to export . My honorable friend is right. We are seeing an enterprise revolution in our country again, 400,000 more businesses in existence today compared to 2010. I think the point he makes about Small Businesses and export is particularly important are currently one in five is an export. If we can turn it into one in four we would wipe out our trade deficit so i support excellent work he does to call to account encourage them to do everything they can to back britains entrepreneurs. Ed miliband. [shouting] mr. Speaker, there are five all over the country with capacity recorder of a million two and 50,000 houses when nothing is happening. Some of them some of them being hoarded by developers. Im in favor of giving power to developers to hold land without building on it, use it or lose it to the Prime Minister said the policy was enough. Does he still believe that . Which is a demonstration no one do we edit banks collapsing and all the rest of it. What i would say to the honorable gentleman is that House Building is picking up. Were seeing a big increase in Housing Starts but a big increase in housing completion. Why i think his policy as a comment put the nuts is this reason that is if you say to developers and companies were going to confiscate land and lets you build, they will not go ahead with the building in the first place. His approach is to put a freeze on the whole on Development Rather than get britain building which is what we need to have happen. The Prime Minister is incredibly complacent. How complacent, how complacent at the lowest level since 1924. Im interested in what he says about the policy because his own housing minister says the policy might make a contribution. The mayor of london says we should be able to have a use it or lose a close. Developer should be under no illusion that they can sit on their land and wait for prices to go up. So is the policy nuts or is it the right thing to do . What we need to keep going with is the policies of this government is saying the House Building increased. I know he doesnt like the fact, nearly 400,000 new homes delivered since 2010. Housing starts in the last quarter were the highest level for five years. 89 the trough in 2009 when he was sitting in the cabinet. 16 increase in Housing Starts over the last 12 month compared with the year before. Heres the question he needs to answer. Is a shadow ministers goal round of posing are planning reform even though they are important to get britain building, it time and again they are criticizing proposals like help divided that are helping our better countrymen and women realize the dream of homeownership. Heres one for him. If he cares about House Building and homeownership, why not make get on with hardworking people . Mr. Speaker, in Labour Council there are five far more housing than in tora council. His housing measures as he supported to the mayor of hans stacey supports. He doesnt know what he thinks. Heres the reality. He is not doing enough to close the gap between supply and demand. The truth is a number of social Housing Starts is down. He shelved his plan for new and rents are rising because except that britain is building 100,000 fewer homes so we need to meet demand a . Of course we need to build new homes. Thats why we are of reform the Planning System which they oppose. Thats what weve got help divided which they oppose. Thats why we are helping in all the ways to get britain building. What we are seeing, tried to is he is now having to jump around all over the place. It started off with the deficit reduction wasnt going to work. Now he can make that argument. And it was we needed plan b. He can make that argument. Next the cost of living but yesterday we saw inflation fall to 2 . What we see as a government thats got a longterm economic plan and an opposition that hasnt got a clue. [shouting] can i welcome the government youth commitment that my local community is benefiting of the potential of shale gas . Can encourage the Prime Minister to do more to British Companies and the scientific careers to do more [inaudible] legitimate concerns that both technology and the potential incremental impact . I think my honorable friend is absolutely right to raise this and to make the remarks that he does. I think that shale has a huge potential for our country. Figures ar on that it would recovered just 7 of the reserves, that would provide us with gas in this country for 30 years. Weve clearly got to do a far better job at explaining and working with communities about the benefits and also talking frankly about the process. I think theres a huge amount of myths that are being put round en route to frighten people about shale gas extraction whereas we can see into United States they can be extracted safely and cleanly, providing effective lowcost energy, green energy for our homes and for a businesses and make our country more competitive at the same time. As you said it, [inaudible] will the Prime Minister agreed to meet with me and other representatives of the south to discuss this issue to see if we can get these paratroopers and released from prison . I know how important this issue is and i raised it personally with Indian Government ministers when i was recently in india. I discussed it with a foreign secretary. Ill go on making sure we do everything that we can pick up a Meeting Needs to be arranged between members of this house of commons representing the constituents and ugly the foreign secretary represents one of these constituents itself, im very happy to arrange that. Investing in research and innovation is essential for our economic future. Does the Prime Minister agreed the open university use Smart Research project to improve infrastructure and just one example of how leading the way for our longterm economic plan . I visited the open university. Its extremely Impressive Organization i but its also leading a very important export drive in terms of our universities i congratulate them for the representation on the forum and for the open university is doing but i think there are many opportunities for milton keynes, not least provided by a just as well and i look forward to discussing it with them in the future. [inaudible] cant afford to go to work. All because their wages are not going far enough. Will the Prime Minister find except the cost of living is stretching families to breaking point . I except we are still recovering from the Great Recession that took 3000 pounds out of the typical familys income. But what were seeing now is more people in work including in wales if we are seeing real wages now starting to rise. I think we can be confident yes, its difficult, yes, its still hard work but our economy has grown and we want that to be a recovery for everyone in our country. The number of people in receipt of the jobseekers allowance fell 31 between november 2012 and november 2013. Youth unemployment fell by even more impressive 40 . Does the Prime Minister share my view that the governments longterm plan is already giving employers the confidence to get hiring again and . Im grateful for what my honorable friend says because absolutely key part of a longterm economic plan is to see a growing number of people in work in our country. Usage 1. 2 million more people in work. Private Sector Employment is up 64,000. Theyre still further to go, particularly in the west a lens where we need to get particularly young people back to work with the figures in his own constituency are very encouraging. On his inquiry, instead of ordering Civil Servant to investigate, why doesnt the Prime Minister just ask lord jeffrey what they agreed with Margaret Thatcher . And whether that anything to do with the west and helicopter deal at the time . I for the audible children might have gone to Conspiracy Theory too far on this one. Look, it is very important that we get to the bottom of what happened and that is what ive asked the cabinet secretary to review this review. Able establish the facts, the process is underway. I want it t
