And now to london for Prime Ministers question time live from the british house of commons. Every wednesday while parliament is in session Prime MinisterDavid Cameron takes questions from members of the house of commons. Prior to question time the house is wrapping up other business. This is live coverage on cspa cspan2. A reminder of the sacrifices that Police Officers make on our behalf every day of every year. Oon a happy note im sure the house will wish to congratulate professor higgs who is sharing this years nobel prize for physics. It is a richly deserved recognition of his research and attribute the uks world leading universities where his research was carried out. Mr. Speaker, this morning 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. Tom maheras. Can i associate myself and my constituents entirely with attribute the primers has made to the victims of terrorism in nairobi and to the treaty under duncan, and, of course, offer up congratulations to the professor. Mr. Speaker, can the Prime Minister can from the less than a third of families will benefit from his mild tax break . I can confirm is all married couples paying basic rate tax will benefit from this move. Ill tell you what i think this is important. Its not about the money. Its about the message. I think marriage is a Great Institution and i think we should be supporting marriage including through the income tax system. Nigel evans. Prime minister, with the disappearance of the minimum practice income guarantee, many doctors surgeries serving remote rural areas like the one in my constituency faced death by one guy. This are a lot of elderly residents and, indeed, a number of children who dont have access to great public care, transport to go into neighboring areas. Will investigate this issue and ensure that my constituents will not be isolated and less they will continue to receive the Excellent Services they do from their doctor a surgery . I will look carefully of the case that he makes. I represent a large role constituency whether are still small practices. I think it is the case many more doctors surgeries are offering many more services with Practice Nurses and other assistance given to patients and we want to see a growth of that, not least make sure people can go to gp surgeries rather than emergency units if its a gp they need but i will look at the specific point that he makes. Mr. Ed miliband. [shouting] mr. Speaker, i join the Prime Minister and send my condolences to the friends and families of the british nationals murdered in nairobi and all of those killed in that cowardly act. It was a heinous act of terrorism and remind us of importance of combating terrorism at home and around the world. I also joined in paying tribute to andrew duncan. His death is a terrible tragedy and is a reminder of the bravery shown by our brave men, policemen and women day in, day out on our behalf. And i send my condolences to his family and friends. On a completely different note i join them until brings a tremendous achievement of peter higgs in winning the nobel prize of physics. He is a Great British scientist. While were about it, mr. Speaker, happy birthday to the Prime Minister. [cheers and applause] mr. Speaker, mr. Speaker, on monday, on monday the Prime Minister said and i quote, theres a certain amount you can do Freezing Energy Prices. While the chancellor said in his Conference Speech it was something out and i quote can he tell us is Freezing Energy Prices a good idea or a communist plot . [laughter] ill b leave the comments of plot to him. [laughter] first of all, can i thank them [cheers and applause] and i thank him for his kind remarks. Of course, theres nothing id rather be doing on my birthday than this. [laughter] what this government is doing is legislating to put people on to the Lowest Energy tears. I think theres a real step forward. What i have to say on this issue of just promising a freeze it is a classic case of saying one thing and doing another. Month after month he stood at this dispatch box as Energy Secretary and produce policy after policy, regulation after regulation, target after target, all of which were Energy Prices up. Whats clear from that answer is he has no answer on labours energy price freeze. And what is clear is it wont happen under him but it would happen under a Labour Government. Now, he mentioned his policy on terrorist and he says that his policy will be the Cheapest Energy tariff. Can you explain why at least 90 of the country will get no benefit of his policy . First of all that is, thats lets been all a bit of time on a. Lets examine the fact he is committed to a new decarbonization target i would add 125 pounds to everyones bill in the country. Perhaps you would like to mention that when he gets to see. He also didnt mention the fact that just 12 hours after making his pledge he said he might not be able to fulfill it because of International Wholesale gas prices. And isnt that the case . What he is promising is a price increase before a promise, a broken promise at any price increase after promise. One price increase, one broken promise, another price increase. That sounds like every Labour Government since the war. Ed miliband. So what is clear is that he is floundering around and he has no answer to labours energy price freeze. He didnt even defend his own policy, which will benefit 90 of the country. Hes got no idea. He said he wants to bring Energy Prices down. Can he confirm and get prices have gone up by 300 pounds since he became Prime Minister . I can tell them that Energy Prices doubled under labour, electricity prices went up by 50 . Let me make this point. Theres one thing government cant control and that is the International Wholesale price of gas. I know youd like to live in some sort of marxist universe where you can control all these things but he needs a basic lesson in economics. Perhaps he should remember what labours own industry minister has said. In an effort, this is what he said. Labour minister sat in the government with him in the last government in an effort to appeal to tribal socialism and a minority in the country, hes put at risk millions of jobs. Is put up a sign over the country, dont invest here. That is the new left wing labour party. [shouting] mr. Speaker, i do suggest he goes away after Prime Ministers questions and try to work out his position on the energy price freeze. Because initially he said the policy was nuts. And he said on monday that it struck a chord, and the free the Energy Prices could make a difference. Hes got no idea what he thinks about this. Now, why are Energy Prices so high . Once again he didnt answer the question. I want to remind him, i want to remind them of the work of a previously of the opposition who said this. When the gas prices go up they rushed to pass the costs onto us and yet when the gas prices are coming down we wait a very long time before we see anything coming through on our bills. Mr. Speaker, that was him that said that. Why has he changed his mind . What we need is a more Competitive Energy market that consumers benefit. What he seems to be suffering from is complete, complete amnesia that he was the Energy Secretary. Let me remind them of one of the first acts this government took. We inherited an Energy Policy from him that would have put 179 pounds on every single bill because of his renewable heat initiative. We canceled it. That was his policy. While we are dealing with quote, lets have a guess who said this. Who said this . To deal with the problems of climate change, energy bills are likely to rise. Who said that . Anyone . The last Energy Secretary. Who stood here and pushed our prices again and again and again. Everyone wants low prices. We will get them by dealing with the causes of the low prices instead of a gimmick that collapsed after 12 hours. [shouting] ed miliband. Mr. Speaker, says he wants low prices but prices are going up on his watch. That is the reality. Can he confirm that while his Energy Policy is the cheapest, benefits almost nobody, a fact he didnt deny, a 20 month freeze in bill would save money for 27 million households and 2. 4 million across this country . Twelve hours later he said he might not be able to keep his promise. This isnt a policy. Its a gimmick. The reason its a gimmick is he is in favor of a decarbonization target that would add 125 pounds to everybodys bill. Its obvious why he wants to talk about the cost of living because he hasnt got an Economic Policy anymore. He told us over and over again that if you cut spending you damage Public Services. Not even the bbc disagree with that and he told us over and over again, if you cut spending the economy wont grow. The shadow chancellor said keep going. Let me tell you the best birthday present i could have. The shadow chancellor staying in the shadow cabinet. [shouting] ed miliband. Mr. Speaker [shouting] everyone thank you he said something very interesting. He said he doesnt want to talk about an Economic Policy. He wants to talk about the cost of living. It doesnt matter he doesnt realize come he doesnt realize that Economic Policy is about the cost of living, and hundreds of thousands to millions of families are facing in this country. Whatever you say about his true the forum, where the cost of living crisis in this country. Energy bills are rising and he supports the energy companies, not the consumer. We have a Prime Minister who always stands up for the wrong people. [shouting] we know what is costofliving policy is. It is more spending, more borrowing and more debt. That would lead to higher taxes and higher Mortgage Rates. That is the double whammy that we get every family in this country. But not only have i got a birthday present of the shadow chancellor staying in post, and its a daily i also have this special birthday treat, which is a shadow chancellor yesterday revealed the election campaign. He said it all depends on the two of them together because and i quote, and im not making this up, they would win because of their experience, their track record, and the credibility. [laughter] that is i have to say, mr. Speaker, that is like the captain of the titanic running on his safety record. [laughter] thank you, mr. Speaker. Millions of people using a post Office Account of his contract is due to expire in 18 months. Its vital for these people and the future of post office is continues after 2015. I hope the government ensures that it does. The post Office Card Account has been a great bonus for many people. I think its a help not only for post offices but also particularly elderly people have access to the source of accounts and i look very carefully at what he says. Thank you, mr. Speaker. [inaudible] intervening in the Mortgage Market because banks are failing to provide mortgages so that young people can get on the housing ladder. Now look, the problem we are also intervening by putting everyone on the Lowest Energy tariff. But what the leader of the opposition cant control although he would like to is International Gas prices. He needs a basic lesson in economics and it sounds like the honorable gentleman does, too. Thank you, mr. Speaker. International chemicals argueareused in a variety of dis which a bound version used the widely advertised on the internet. Does my right honorable friend agree with me that action needs to be urgently taken, to prevent the importation of these substances in capsule form where they can only be planned for human consumption . There have been some extra in a series of cases of young people in particular suffering from these sorts of medications that youre able to order on the internet. I look carefully to what she says about whether there is further legislative or regulatory action that can be taken in order to protect people from substances that may be safe in other circumstances it shouldnt be marketed in this way. What is the Prime Minister taking away 7 billion pounds a year of support to children, up to 2015 . We are putting in more support for children. We are providing the childcare not just for fouryearolds and threeyearolds by the childcare for two year old. Weve introduced for the first time a pupil bring them so children from the poorest homes are actually going to get more money following them into school. He shakes his head. Frankly, he should be sitting there in shame at the oecd report that came out yesterday that showed that after a lifetime in education under labour our young people are at the bottom of the league in terms of results. That is what she should be focused on. Order. Its time the house heard from john randall. [shouting] can i draw my right honorable friends attention to the recent report by in real college about the detrimental Health Effects of aircraft noise . And could he make sure that when the government decides, looks at the davis commissions report, that health and environmental considerations are paramount . Well, my right honorable friend hasnt had a chance to speak from the back benches in what he just has and i look forward to hearing many other contributions from him and he brings a huge amount to the south. Hes absolutely right to raise the issue about environmental noise and i can tell him that will be included in the howard davis report and he will be making a speech about this issue since. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Does the Prime Minister think its acceptable since he came to office the number of people claiming jobseekers allowance for more than two years has increased by 390 . What has happened since i became Prime Minister is the number of workers household has gone down to its lowest level. The number of households claiming benefits has gone down. While were at it, issue looks at what is actually happening in the northwest, since the election 18,000 more people employment, 45,000 more people employed in the private sector, unemployment has fallen in the northwest i 7000 since the election. And as i said, she should be talking up her region instead of talking it down. I wonder if the Prime Minister seeks a bbc icm report showing that despite reductions in spending, the majority of people think that Services Provided by local government disagree with me that you can get more for less . When i woke up this month and heard that the bbc was reporting that you can cut public spending and make Public Services better, i thought i had died and gone to heaven for a moment. [laughter] but it is worth looking at and its one of the many pillars of labours policy that has collapsed today. They thought that the public spending cuts would lead to lack of economic growth. The imf show them that is wrong. They thought the public spending cuts would lead to worse services, the bbc, lets praise the bbc for once, told him that is wrong. Thats whats happened today. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Labours child text into will be great for working parents, so said forced johnson to does the Prime Minister a dream . We are helping working parents with childcare and that is what the tax relief on childcare that this government will be introducing will be all about. Thank you, mr. Speaker. In january my constituents was tragically killed when it hit by a driver who had over 10 previous conviction for dangerous driving and was disqualified from driving at the time. Now, over 8000 people signed a petition calling for the law to change the drugs have been convicted of dangerous driving or disqualified should receive tougher since his. Now, will the Prime Minister received his petition and disagree the law should be looked at . I will certainly look at the petition that he talks about and i would like to join my honorable friend and offering my condolences to the friends and families. This is the most appalling crime, as he says, someone with 10 previous convictions who was disqualified at the time driving dangerously and killing two people and stuffing out of their lives. The senseless tenures but as i understand the maximum sentence for a crime like this is 14 years. The government has introduced a new offense of consular looking at this whole area but i can also tell him that justice secretary as the Sentencing Council to review the sentencing guidelines for serious driving offenses. I think we should look at this specific case in the light of that. Thank you, mr. Speaker. A family in my constituency earning 18,000 a year are paying in energy bills. So why is the Prime Minister sizing with energy bosses rather than hardpressed families . I want to see Peoples Energ
