We at the federal trade commission have a dual mission, which is to protect American Consumers and promote competition. He do that in a couple of different ways. That we are a civil Law Enforcement agency. We bring lawsuits against companies who engage in unfair or deceptive acts or practices. We also engage in policy and to promote best practices and advocate for laws that we think are needed. Whatur specific question, i can tell you is that we are interested in protecting consumers when it comes to the noble because it noble ecosystem. Noble entirety of the ecosystem. Of the mobile ecosystem. That American Consumers are protected and that there is a competitive landscape. The federal trade commission, monday on the communicators at 8 00 p. M. Eastern on cspan two. Wednesday, David Cameron said the referendum in crimea was illegal. He warned that if russia continued to take further actions, more sanctions would be put into place. The Prime Minister also answered questions about Mental Health care, unemployment figures, and childcare policy. This is just over 30 minutes questions to the Prime Minister. Thank you, mr. Speaker. I am sure the whole house will wish to join me in paying tribute to tony band who died last week. He made many speeches in this ofse and alongside a record public service, he was also a great writer, a great campaigner, no matter whether you agreed with his views or not. He will be missed by both sides of this house and our thoughts are with him and other members of his family at this time. Im sure you also join me in paying tribute to the Winter Paralympic Team, following a Great Success at the sochi games. Especially Kenny Gallagher who won our first ever gold medal at the winter paralympics and our most successful winter paralympic and with four medals. Meetings. Ng, i had mr. Speaker, im sure the will agree with the remarks in congratulating the paralympic team. Today, unemployment has fallen 63,000. Longterm unemployed is also falling. This is evident where we have seen growth of the private sector continue. Does my right honorable friend agree that we must maintain this growth by continuing to tackle the deficit, support industry, and continue with our longterm conomic . First of all, absolutely the link with the paralympic games. She is also absolutely right about these unemployment figures. They show unemployment going up, they show unemployment coming down. A Record Number of people in work in our country, a Record Number of women in our country , and a Record Number of youth employment, too. Private Sector Employment has gone up by 118,000, publicsector unemployment has gone down by 13,000. 10,000 more jobs created in the private sector. The important thing is what it means for britains families. It means that millions of people have a chance at dignity and civility and security. I hope it will be welcomed across the house. Mr. Miller band. Nd. R. Miliba he will be remembered as a champion and a great parliamentarian who defended the rights of backbenchers against the executives. He spoke his mind and he spoke up for his values. Everyone knew where he stood and what he stood for. Our condolences go to his children and his family. Great he was someone of great decency. I also want to join the Prime Minister in paying tribute to the fantastic Winter Paralympic Team for their Great Success in kelly in particular gallagher and jade everingham 10. Everingham he also shares my deep concern for the ukrainian servicemen were shot and killed at a military base in crimea yesterday. Hes actually correct that the referendum in the crimea is illegitimate and illegal. Together in 10 days and held at the point of a russian kalashnikov. This cannot be accepted or legitimized by the international community. We should be absolutely clear about what has happened here. This is the annexation, effectively, one countrys territory by another country. We must be absolutely clear about our interest, which is to see a rulesbased International System or countries obey the rules. If we turn away from this crisis and dont act, we will pay a very high price in the longer term. We should be clear that this referendum is illegitimate. We must be clear that consequences must follow and we should work with our European Partners and with United States , and strong, consistent robust response. I think the Prime Minister for that answer. I would like to ask him about the meetings that are coming up. White house has indicated that there sanctions will be expanded. Im sure the whole house will support the idea that the travel ban will also be expanded. Will be supporting wider economic trade sanctions on the russian federation. As we discussed previously in the house, the European Union set out some very clear triggers. We said that if the russians did not take heart in a Contact Group with the Ukrainian Government to take forward discussions, then asset freezes and travel bans should follow. Placehave been put into on monday. I believe further actions on that front should be taken at councilpean administrators, which i will take part in on thursday. We should also respond to the fact of this annexation. We said if there were further action to destabilize ukraine and this annexation is that action, for the consequences need to follow. We need to set that out on thursday in concert with our European Partners and at the same time we need to put down a very clear warning that if there was further destabilization, for instance going into the Eastern Ukraine in any way, then we would move to a position of the sorts of economic sanctions that we discussed in the house last week. The Prime Minister knows that from the side of the house he will have our support for the toughest possible diplomatic and theomic measures given totally illegitimate actions that they have taken. I also welcome the announcement yesterday that the g7 allies will gather next week in the hague. It seems inconceivable that they could remain in the g8. Does the Prime Minister now agree that this meeting of the g8 should go further and explicitly decide to suspend russia from the group of g8 advanced economies . I was one of the first people to say that it was unthinkable for the g8 to go ahead as planned. We one of the first countries to suspend all preparations for that g8 and i strongly suspend the g7 and i strongly support the g7 meeting that will take place on monday. It is important we moved together with our allies and partners and i think we should be discussing whether or not to expel russia permanently from the g8 if further steps are taken. That is the meeting we will have on monday and i think it is the right way to proceed. To thei add my words support that must be given to tony band . He was a great demand. I work with one of his sons for several years on five policies. 2. 7 million qualified people is the Prime Minister least with the abandonment of his intentions . What im sure we can agree on is that it has been an excellent move by a conservative chancellor in a Coalition Government to make sure that the first 10,000 pounds of income you earn you dont pay tax on. That benefits peoples earnings all the way up to 100,000 pounds. That has worked so far that is that is worth over 700 pounds to a typical income taxpayer. It is highly worthwhile. Im looking forward to what the chancellor has to say. That gentleman aware that this week i have received from the palestinian friend and email which tells me he the israelis have assassinated a friend in his house and another brother of a friend has been shot dead by the army . We have spent our time from one funeral to another. When the right honorable gentleman was in israel last week, did he raise with constant stream of killing of innocent palestinians by the israelis, and what is he going to do about it . I did not raise that specific case which the right honorable gentleman raises his in the house today, but i did raise with the Prime Minister the importance of how the israelis behave in the west bank and elsewhere. I raised the issue of settlements, which i believe is unacceptable and needs to stop. I was also strongly supporting to findsraeli minister peace. There is a prospect now because americans are leading a set of talks that could lead to a framework document being agreed. I think it is in everyones interest to put all the pressure to moven both parties forward. It would mean so much to ordinary israelis and ordinary palestinians and to the rest of us. Has now fallen for the past 12 months from 4. 9 to 3. 8 . It was helped by resurgence in british manufacturing. Compared to one. 8 Million Manufacturing jobs lost under the previous labor government, what are Prime Minister agree with me that our longterm economic land is delivering to the north of england . My honorable friend makes an important point, which is we want to have a balanced recovery. We want to see growth and employment met across the country. It is worth noting that since 2010, 80 of the rise in private Sector Employment has taken place outside london. The Unemployment Rate in the unemploymentll the rate in the west is lower than it is in london. We will do everything we can backing apprenticeship and backing industry to make sure that continues. A drug was given to women to determine pregnancy in the 60s and 70s. The potency was 18 times of the morningafter pill. As a result, thousands of babies are born with deformities. Theres never been a Public Inquiry or compensation for the victims. Will the Prime Minister discussed this issue . Lookwill be very happy to at the case the honorable lady mentions. Clearly, this is an important issue. Anyone who has had a disabled child knows the enormous important he of this issue the enormous importance of this issue. Will my right honorable friend acknowledge that the benefits of economic recovery in my constituency are somewhat tempered by uncomfortable pressures on Housing Development and in adequate Rail Infrastructure . Notwithstanding that these matters must be dealt with, is it not increasingly clear that there is a need to do more to stem the flow of the continuing floor population to the southeast by imaginative measures which will spread the benefits of recovery throughout all regions . I think my friend makes a point that we want a recovery, a longterm economic land is working, and important part of that plan is Infrastructure Investment that we are making. Obviously hs two is important in rebalancing between north and south. Lets be clear that we are spending three times more on other transport schemes in the next parliament as we are on hs two. That includes projects like rail electrifications to bristol, nottingham, sheffield and others. All of this can make a difference and it is all part of our plan. Mr. Speaker, in recent days the countrys leading Mental Health charities have joined together to give deep concerns about Mental Health services. The impact on those who experience Mental Health problems, there families and our country. As the Prime Minister agree with me that Mental Health should have equal irt with physical health in our Health Care System . Agree with the right honorable gentleman about the debate that took place in this house. A number of honorable members took some very brave and bold. Teps i thought those incredibly brave and right thing to do. Terms of whether Mental Health should aperitif with other forms of health care, yes it should. We have legislated to make that the case. Let me ask about some specifics that would suggest were moving away from an equal footing that we both want to see. Mental health chair of the nhs budget is falling. Services are being squeezed, there are few Mental Health feds and more young people are being treated in adult psychiatric wards. This is not just bad for the but forals concerned, the future. As a Prime Minister agree that this really shouldnt be happening . Obviously, we have decided to increase Health Spending rather than reduce Health Spending. Health spending is not 12. 7 building across his parliament. We have legislated parity. We have also put in place proper waiting times and disciplines, things like Mental Health therapies that werent there before. There is still further to go. We need commissioners to really focus on the importance of Mental Health services, but the money is there, the legal priority is there, we need Health Service to respond. The problem is, the Mental Health budget has fallen for the first time in a decade. It is not getting the share of money that it needs. I would urge him to look at the specifics. We need to ensure that the consensus in this house is reflected in the daily decisions being made up and out the country up and down the country in Mental Health service. Will the Prime Minister agree to enshrine equality for Mental Health in the nhs constitution in order to send a mission a message to decisionmakers to they get better access to treatment and care they need . The point i would make is these. We have put 400 Million Pounds into the talking therapies, which i think is very important in terms of Mental Health provision. Mental Health Provision is reference very clearly in the mandate which is given to nhs documentwhich is a key in terms of the Health Service. Hes apt is is absolutely right to say that the way the Health Service works, there is still a culture change in treatment of Mental Health and helping with problems that needs to change and be put in place. I think on that there can be all many smallrt. Businesses in sheffield have incomes at or below the current welfare cap. Would my right honorable friend look at doing more for Small Businesses are reducing the burden of regulation, lowering tax and increasing thresholds, as well as offering expert assistance to help them take on more apprentices . Our longtermof economic plan is to help Small Businesses to take more people on. Absolutely key to that is the willyment allowance that come in this april, which is a cut of 2000 pounds. It is important that we all encourage Small Businesses to take up this money and also to take on more people. Time, we are abolishing Employers National Insurance contributions for the under 20 ones from april 2015, so some pennies in this constituency can start planning to take on more people. Last week the deputy Prime Minister wrongly told the house that child care costs in england were coming down, while they continue to grow up in wales. The house of commons says it is not the case. This week, the deputy Prime Minister is offering a preelection bribe on childcare and which wont come into effect 2015. Tember 2000 will the Prime Minister get a grip on this policy, help hardworking fan families with their child care because of the cost of living crisis today . Im afraid to say the honorable member is wrong on both counts. Actually, we are seeing easing of cost pressures in england. Im afraid in wales they are still going up. He might want to talk to the National Assembly government about that. The point of the deputy Prime Minister and i were making yesterday is we want to help hardworking families with their childcare costs. From 2015, for every child you have you can save up to 2000 pounds on your childcare costs. Speaker,eresting, mr. We can now hear that the labor Party Opposes this move. Clearly, they dont welcome it. You have a very clear choice of the election. If you vote for parties on the side of the house you get help with your childcare and if you vote labor you get nothing. With the Prime Minister john with me in praising conservative for 68 years. Providing real
