This is 35 minutes. Questions to the Prime Minister. Thank you, mr. Speaker. I am sure the whole house will join me in condemning the sickening murders in syria of the japanese journalist kenji goto and the jordanian pilot lieutenant moaz alkasasbeh, and i am sure that the thoughts and prayers of the whole house will be with their families at this very difficult time. We should also think of our own pilots and their families, and of all those who serve. I can assure the house that we will not stop until the murderous isil extremists who are behind this, and their poisonous ideology, are eradicated. This morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in the house, i shall have further such meetings later today. May i associate myself with this morning i had meetings with the comments that the Prime Minister has just made . A constituent of mine, an agency worker, told me that he only pays income tax if he works overtime. Part of his wages is paid in expenses, even when he is on holiday, which affects his National Insurance contributions and therefore his benefit and pays income tax if he works pension entitlement. The sum of £16 a week is deducted from his wages to administer his payroll, and he even has to pay for his own pay slip. Is that any way in which to treat our working people . We are looking into abuse by the socalled Umbrella Companies that can sometimes bring such things about, but the broader point is that i want to help people like that by cutting their taxes and taking them out of income tax altogether. We have already taken 3 million of the lowestpaid people out of income tax altogether, and we plan to enable people to earn £12,500 before they start to pay income tax, which will take another 1 million out of it altogether. Will the Prime Minister welcome the increase in the number of students especially those from the poorest backgrounds who are applying for university . Will he confirm that both universities and students would lose as a result of the reduction in funding that would be caused by a cut in fees . How could a policy that only helped rich graduates possibly be called progressive . My right honorable friend is absolutely right. The coalitions University Policy was a longterm policy which has resulted in a Record Number of students going to university, as well as an increase in the number of University Students from the poorest backgrounds. That is good for our country good for students, and good for universities. What a contrast with the party opposite, who told us four years ago that they were going to get rid of tuition fees and who, four years later, have absolutely nothing to say about it. When will they make up their minds . I join the Prime Minister in condemning the appalling murders of the jordanian pilot and the japanese hostages by isil. These were sickening and despicable acts, and simply reinforce our determination to defeat that evil organization. Everyone pays stamp duty on stock market transactions except hedge funds, who are allowed to avoid it. That is costing many hundreds of millions of pounds. Why is the Prime Minister refusing to act . I have to say that for 13 years, during many of which he was in the treasury, they did absolutely nothing about this. What this government has done is more than any previous government to make sure that individuals and Companies Pay their taxes properly. I have to say i am delighted that he has raised the economy on the morning after his shadow chancellor could not name one single Business Leader who backed labour. This is Prime Ministers questions and he should try to answer the question. I asked him a very specific question about why hedge funds are not paying stamp duty on stock market transactions. It is costing hundreds of millions of pounds. He is being funded to the tune of £47 million by the hedge funds. Everyone knows that is why he is refusing to act, but what is his explanation . Let me just remind him that when we came into Office Foreigners did not pay stamp duty on the properties they bought, foreigners did not pay Capital Gains tax on the properties they bought, and because of his tax rates City Hedge Fund managers were paying lower tax rates than the people who cleaned their offices. That is what we had to sort out. But let me put it to him again. The day after his shadow chancellor was asked on television whether he could think of one single Business Leader, do you know what he said, mr. Speaker . He said, bill somebody. television whether he could bill somebody is not a person bill somebody is labours policy. I will tell the Prime Minister what people on this site are doing. We are standing up for hardworking families and businesses while he is a friend of the tax avoiders. I am going to keep asking him the question until he answers it. It is a very specific question about hedge funds avoiding stamp duty on their share transactions. It is costing hundreds of millions of pounds. He is bankrolled by the hedge funds. He claims he wants to act on tax avoidance. Why wont he act . If he has a good submission for the budget, he can talk to the chancellor about it. He says what they are doing on his side of the house. Let me tell him what he has been doing on his side of the house. Two former Labour Health secretaries completely condemned his Health Policy. All the leading University Vicechancellors condemned his University Policy. And he cannot find one single Business Leader to back his Economic Policy. Is it any wonder that the chuckle brothers have lodged an official complaint and said they do not want to be compared to the two clowns opposite . I am afraid i am going to keep asking the question until he has an answer. Let me explain it to him. You cant help him george. Youre too far away. Let me explain it to him very simply. Everybody pays stamp duty on their share transactions. Order. I apologize for interrupting. The questions and the answers will be heard. This is a Democratic Chamber and no one, but no one, is going to be shouted down. The point is very simple and very obvious, and i hope everyone can grasp it. Let me explain it to him very simply. Everybody pays stamp duty on their share transactions, but the hedge funds are protected. We have been calling for action on this. It could raise of hundreds of millions of pounds. Why wont he act . We have acted on stamp duty. We will continue to act on stamp duty, but he sat for 13 years in the treasury and never did anything about it. If he wants to make sure that he acts on tax avoidance and evasion, why does he not start with labours biggest donor, mr. John mills yes, we all remember this who gave his donation in shares in order to cut his tax bill . Has he paid back the taxes yet . I am really pleased the Prime Minister wants to talk about donors. Let us talk about his donors. £7 million [interruption] order. The question will be heard. It is a very simple point. I have had to make it a second time, and i will make it as many times as necessary. The right honorable gentleman will be heard. £7 million from lord laidlaw, a tax exile living in monaco. £3 million from Michael Hintze with a Company Based in jersey. And michael spencer, who gave him £4 million, involved in the libor scandal. Same old tories. Let us give hima fifth chance. I know he does not do his homework, but this is his fifth chance. The hedge funds are avoiding tax to the tune of hundreds of millions of pounds. Will he now promise, from that dispatch box, to act for the National Health service . We had labour for 13 years. No action on stamp duty, foreigners not paying stamp duty, foreigners not paying Capital Gains tax, no bank levy. He talks about tax exiles. Andrew rosenfeld, the man who raises his money, was for years a tax exile living in geneva. That is what we get. But is it any wonder he wants to find one particular issue to raise today . He cannot talk about minimum wages because his policy is to cut them, he cannot talk about Energy Prices because his policy to keep them up, he cannot talk about universities because his policy to trash them, and he cannot name a single Business Leader who supports labour. No wonder the person who wrote things can only get better says it no longer applies to labour. So basically, he has been found out. Five chances to answer the question, no answer coming. Let us close that tax loophole so we can have more doctors, more nurses, more care workers and more midwives. This is the difference. This is a Prime Minister who will not tackle tax avoidance for the simple reason that too many of his friends would get caught in the net. They are the party of mayfair hedge funds and monaco tax avoiders, and under him, you always know that it is one rule for those at the top and another rule for everyone else. There is only one person who has been found out this week and that is the leader of the labour party. His Economic Policy has collapsed. His Health Policy has collapsed. His universities policy has collapsed. The most vital election in a generation is coming, and people can see the choice. A labour party that is antienterprise, antibusiness and that is falling apart under scrutiny, and a conservative party turning this country around. That is the choice competence from us, chaos from them. This week we have seen that fear is spreading across this land among Senior Business people. Will my right honorable friend reassure me that he will stay the course of his [interruption] order. The honorable gentlemans question must be heard. If he wants to continue the last bit of it, he can. Will my right honorable friend reassure me that he will stay the course to prosperity with his longterm economic plan . We will stay the course because we can now see 1. 75 million more people in work, the deficit down by half, the british economy growing faster than any major economy in western europe, and business and enterprise large and small saying we have the right plan and we should stick to that plan. It is competence versus chaos. They were elected by fewer than 15 of the public and their first elections cost £80 million. Why will the Prime Minister not scrap these ridiculous police and Crime Commissioners and instead put the money into frontline policing that would keep our communities safe . She might want to ask why her former colleague alun michael stood for one of these posts. I think this is bringing accountability to our police service, because Everybody Knows there is now one person they have to account to. In the past, people did not know how to access their police authorities. They do now. When my right honorable friend visits yorkshire tomorrow, he will be spoiled for choice by the number of businesses that are investing in creating jobs in leeds, bringing unemployment in my pudsey constituency down 55 , in leeds west down 39 , and in morley and outwood down 51 . Does that not show that all parts of leeds are contributing to the northern economic powerhouse, thanks to this governments economic policies . I am very much looking forward to explaining how our longterm economic plan will really benefit and continue to benefit yorkshire and northeast lincolnshire. He is absolutely right. We have got employment up by 114,000 since the election. Private Sector Employment is up by almost 200,000 since the election. Come to morley and outwood. The shadow chancellor says come to morley and outwood. Believe me, i will be there, and i am afraid to say i have a plan to increase unemployment in that constituency by one, to give him a bit more time to remember a single business man who supports him. The labour party was in power for 13 years and failed to deliver a single additional power to scotland that was outlined in the vow. The conservatives and the lib dems have been in power for five years and, like labour, they are not proposing the real home rule that was promised. Does the Prime Minister and the leader of the labour party now understand why the voters of scotland are sick of the westminster parties, in contrast with the snp, which will always put Scotland First . This Coalition Government has actually taken part in a massive exercise of devolution to the scottish parliament, and have already set out a significant extra increase in powers that will take place whoever is standing at this dispatch box after the election. Yes, we have had a westminster government here for the last five years. We have an snp government in scotland, and as the new labour leader in scotland has pointed out, under the snp, a and e waiting times in scotland are now worse than they are in england. So apparently, it is all right to compare scotland and england, but of course, it is not all right to compare england and wales. That is interesting, isnt it . It is a fascinating political strategy for the scottish labour leader to say that life is always better under the tories but i agree. Given the success the Prime Minister claims for the coalitions longterm economic plan, why, if allowed to govern alone, does he want to change it to bring in even deeper cuts to Public Services . I believe that after seven years of economic growth, which is what we will have had by 2018, we should be starting to pay down the deficit by running a surplus. I think that is something that every business and every family in the country will understand. You need to fix the roof when the sun is shining, and as far as i can see, it is only the conservative party that will offer that at the next election. When the Prime Minister comes to yorkshire, he might reflect on the promise he made to a barnsley business to support efforts to secure a Major International contract to manufacture solar panels. Billions of pounds of investment depend upon him keeping his word, but delays in whitehall mean that the deal is now at risk. Will the Prime Minister do what he said he would do intervene to make sure that we can bring hundreds of good, skilled jobs to this country . I understand uki investment, the department of energy and Climate Change and the Foreign Office have all been providing advice. So i will look to see if there is anything that can be done in the whitehall system that is getting in the way of this company, and i will write to the honorable gentleman. My constituent mr. Mohammed naved bashir was arrested in december. Despite pointing out on numerous occasions that he had a different name from that of the wanted man, he was held in prison cells in halifax for three days. It was confirmed that the police had arrested the wrong person only when he was transported and presented to a judge in glasgow. Will my right honorable friend ask the home secretary to look into this case and perhaps supply the answers that mr. Bashir is not getting to the questions he is putting to the police . This sounds like a very concerning case. My understanding is that West Yorkshire police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the arrest and detention of mr. Bashir. I cannot give the house the specifics of the case because it involves ongoing legal action, but i will discuss it with the home secretary. Of course, one option would be for mr. Bashir to make a formal complaint to the independent Poli
