In an inspiring the future that i would encourage you to do so because its not only good for the country, its an incredibly enjoyable way to spend some time. Thank you, mr. Speaker. From Cabinet Office figures, 67 of people in the Senior Civil Service were based in london last year with the highest reports in the last five years does of the matter should not accept his policy in moving several service israeli . We are introducing regional hubs for the civil service. Of course, there are many Uk Civil Servants who work in scotland and support the people in scotland. But it is inevitable the large number of Civil Servants in london, considered the capital of United Kingdom, but weve got to make sure they represent the country who they serve. Mr. Speaker, thank you. We know that special advisors are required to submit their emails and their telephone text to public view because thats under the freedom of information. What is the policy of the government on the question of using whatsapp, which they are using to conceal government business from public view . I hesitate to admit to my honorable friend that i never personally gives whatsapp in my life. But im happy to be able to reassure him that all aspects of government business are properly recorded and ministers and subjects to a foia request as normal despite the rumors he has heard spirit that probably makes two of us then. Questions to the Prime Minister. Number one, mr. Speaker. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday marked a momentous day for the family and friends at the 96 victims of the hillsboro disaster. Over the last 27 years their search for justice has been met with obfuscation and hostility instead of sympathy and answers. As i said that house in 2012 about the hills were independent panel report committed longer families had to wait for so long and to fight so hard just to get to the truth. I know the whole house will wish to join in praising their courage, the patients and their resolve. They have never folded into pursuit of the truth and we all owe them a great debt of gratitude. Here, here. 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. Mims davies. I wouldve very much like to comments on the hillsboro, along with members on all sides of this house and pay tribute to the dems, their families and be resilient other campaigners who continued to strive for the truth in the pursuit of justice. Here, here. In my constituency of easily the Service Provided crucial to peoples daily lives including who i have met with who highlight their important local deli but does he agree with me the recent the announcement of 2. 4 billion pounds of funding is only possible because of a strong conservative majority. My friend is right. We made a choice to put 12 billion pounds into the nhs and the last parliament. 19 Million Pounds into the nhs in this parliament and we want to see strengthen primary care. Our vision is gps coming together and having in their surgeries therapist, Mental Health practitioners to other clinics so people can get the health care they need and we take the pressure off hospitals. That will only happen with a government that keeps investing in our nhs. Jeremy corbyn. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Yesterday after 27 years and 96 people who tragically lost their lives at hillsboro and their families find and their families finally receive the justice they were entitled to. I welcome the fact that Prime Minister has apologized for the actions of previous government. I join him in paying tribute to all those families who campaigned with such dignity, steadfastness and determination to get to the truth of what happened to the loved ones on that dreadful afternoon. I also pay a very warm tribute to my friends the members for liverpool walton, lee, holden and other mps who relentlessly campaigned with great difficulty over many years. I hope the whole house today will be united in the making that all those involved in the lies, smears and coverups that have decoupled this whole inquiry will now be held to account. Here, here. Last week that Prime Minister told the house that he is going to put rocket boosters on his proposals. This weekend in the light of the widespread unease including amongst his own mps it seems the wheels are falling off the rocket booster. The government is considering a uturn. Can that Prime Minister confirm whether or not [laughter] the uturn is being prepared for or not . First to le let me join the right honorable gentleman in praising those who campaigned so hard and so long to get justice for the victims of hillsboro. This process took far too long but i think it is right and that pay tribute to the honorable member that we had that jones report. We responded to the jones reporter also wanted to mention the former attorney general who took the case to the high court for the government himself to argue for the vital second inquires. Turning to the issue of academies i havent yet met a rocket booster with the wheel on it [laughter] but im sure Rocket Science is only not my subject or i will repeat again, academies are raising standards in our schools. I want a system, and i want a system where its teachers running schools, not bureaucra bureaucrats. It was a much of an agitator, but so, can the Prime Minister, can the Prime Minister tell us whether he will [shouting] if the members opposite will be patient enough, they might to the question i put into the Prime Minister, which is another very simple one. Coty tells whether he would bring forward legislation to force against the wishes of good and outstanding schools to become academies in the upcoming queens speech, yes or no . Obvious i generally prevent the queens speech but on this one example, i can help them up and we have academies for all and will be in the queens spee speech. Well, thank you we look forward to that but there is still time for the uturn which im sure is at the back of a Prime Ministers mind. Its been recorded that the government is considering allowing good local authorities to for multiAcademy Trust us. Ironically this would give local authorities more responsibility for running schools and they have no. Although the Prime Ministers previously suggested local authorities are Holding Schools back. Why is this costly reorganization of schools necessary to schools that are already good or outstanding . Why is he forcing it on them . As i said last week, i like repeats on television, im happy to have them on the house as well. As i said last week, outstanding schools have nothing to fear from becoming academies entities have a lot to be. Just because a school is outstanding or good doesnt mean it cant have further improvement. Not least, not only what we want to seize outstanding schools helping other schools in their area. Often by being part of an Academy Trust. He raises the issue the local authorities, but to question so far come to very clear answers, third question comfort clear answer. Perhaps if you do with the excess invites in his own party we would listen to them a bit more. But they may be [shouting] of course there are lots of ways that schools can become academies. They can convert and become academies, they can be sponsored by outside organization. They can work with other schools in the area. They can look a working with the local authority. The schools that want to go on using local Authority Services offered to do so. Academies are greater academies for all those repulsive. What we are seeing from labour i said is they are now moving in favor of academies goes. Perhaps when he gets to his feet he says does he favor a academies or not . Jeremy corbyn. Mr. Speaker, the trend will be aware that sometimes repeats on television get more viewers than the first time round. The chief executive of the Largest Academy chain in london, the harris academy, has warned that a far more fundamental thing that the Prime Minister should be worrying about, why the school should become academies or not is actually teacher shortages. The academies, mr. Speaker, dont want us. Parents dont want to the teachers dont want to. Governor still wonder. And so the councils and if you dont want to. Who actually does want this top down reorganization he is imposing on our education . Okay. Question for come answer for, he says it wants this. Lets start with michael him of the chief inspector of school. I think someone quite worthwhile listening to. A categorization can lead to rapid improvements and i firmly believe it is right to give more autonomy to the front line. Oecd. They have been in the news today. The words get too controversial for the oecd, i do the trend towards academies as a very Promising Development in the uk which is another rather prescriptive education system, so they supported. What about endless Academy Trust the supported . He asked another question gary king for four inches. If you shout you will not hear the answer. [shouting] he asked about teacher shortages. The fact is that are more School Places and more teachers under this government than the then there were under labour. Why . Because we got a successful economy and we are putting it into our childrens schools and future. The our Record Number of children in oversize classes and in supersized classes and that is getting worse. Is he is looking for support for his Academy Session proposal, he might care to phone up his friend, the leaders of hampshire, west sussex and is on county council who are deeply concerned and opposed by. He might care to listen to counselor carter, the concert chair of the county Councils Network who says the change will lead to a poor education system. So why is he pushing it through with so much opposition, so much concern and such a waste of money when we should be investing in teachers and schools, not top down reorganization . Because they keep the council tax down and provide good service i hope well see more of them in 10 days time. [shouting] on teachers apply just to be clear, just to be clear, 13,000 more teachers than 2010 to give a whole Accurate Answer to his fourth question, again he asked who else would support the academies. Let me quote the Academy Trust because she said this, i used to be very skeptical and resistant to academy status. But during the process of developing the academy ive been increasingly convinced this is the way forward. That is what mortimer people parsing. That is why 1. 3 million more children in good and outstanding schools. That is what almost nine out of 10 converter a database are good or outstanding schools. We are clear on the side of the house. We back aspiration, back opportunity, back investment in our schools. We want every child to get the best. Its labour who want to hold back opportunity. Mr. Speaker, this seems to be a pattern developing here. [shouting] the pattern is quietly simply this. He has the Health Secretary that is opposing a contract on doctors against the wishes of patients and the public and the rest of the medical profession. He has an education secretary imposing yet another tory top down reorganization that nobody wants. We will his government show some respect and listening to public, parents and patients, and, indeed, professionals who have given their lives to Public Service in education and health and change its away, listen to them and trust other people to run Services Rather than imposing thing from above . I will tell him the pattern that is developing. We consume 1. 9 billion more people being treated in our health service. Weakens the 1. 3 million more children in good or outstanding schools. Thats the pattern developing come a strong economy, investing into our Public Services. The other pattern i have noticed is i one might tip labour leader. Entity carries on like this i will soon be on my sixth. [shouting] thank you, mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the government [inaudible] is substantial and befitting the tremendous endeavors this government has undertaken to save the industry. It stands in contrast with its disrespectful comments of labours policy adviser who said this to crises have been good for labour. Could ask the Prime Minister whether there is any indication it could help expedite which could provide the longterm viable future that we all hope for and the workers who live in my constituency . I want to thank my honorable friend for welcoming me yesterday. Before coming to his constituency i visited and i met with the management and with the trade unions and editor can constructive discussion. I did make the conservative leader who doesnt excellent job. If you want me to be sticking you better stop interrupting everybody. Its not going to get you any votes. [shouting] little tip for you there. [laughter] a serious point which is the areas where we can help, we can help empower, helping procurement, help on issue of pensions. I the very constructive conversation going on but i say get from thi the dispatch box wi want to do everything we can to secure the future not only for portal but also for steelmaking in britain coping with a massive oversupply, collapse in prices on china so we must do all we can. Theres no guarantee of success but if we work hard, get a proper sales process and get behind on a bipartisan basis we can see success. Following the hills for inquiry, we join in all of the comments database and thus far in relation to the families and paying could do all the campaigners for justice. Last night the government was defeated for the second time in the house of lords on the issue of refugee children being given refuge in the United Kingdom. There arent many members of the house as there are many members of this house in all parties including who would wish us to do much, much more in helping providing refuge for unaccompanied children in europe at the present time. Will the Prime Minister please reconsider his opposition and stop walking by on the other side speak with i dont think anyone can accuse this country of walking on by in terms of its refugee crisis. Lets be very clear about what weve done. Personal taking to 20,000 refugees from outside of europe which i think is all parties support. Last week announcing the for the 3000 principally unaccompanied children and children at risk from outside your that we will be taking. Third of all of course in our normal refugee procedures last you we took over 3000 unaccompanied children. But where i disagree respectfully with the lordship house is those people who work in European Countries are in safe European Countries. To compare somehow children or adults who are in france or germany or italy or spain or portugal or greece, to compare that with children stuck in nazi germany i think is deeply wrong and will continue with our approach which includes by the way of being the second largest donor of any country anywhere in the world into those refugee camps. Just as in the 1930s there are thousands [shouting] theres no comparison, mr. Speaker, apparently. Apparently theres no comparison between thousands of children needing refuge in the 1930s and thousands of children in the present time. Yet order, order. Order. Im not interested in somebody yelling out their opinion of the honorable gentlemans question. This is the home of free speech. The honorable gentleman and every other member will be heard, however long this session takes. Very clear. Mr. Angus robertson. Europe all estimates 10,000 unaccompanied children in europe have disappeared. This is an existential question about the safety of vulnerable children. The Prime Minister thinks it is not the responsibility of the United Kingdom to help unaccompanied children in europe. So i ask them, so i asked kim, who has the moral responsibility to feed them, to clothe them, to educate them and give them refuge . If not us and everybody in europe . Let me answer that very directly. First of all any unaccompanied child who has direct them in britain on claiming asylum can come to britain and quite right, too. But he asked the question who is responsible for refugees was the person who was responsible is the country which they are in. Look, i want britain to play our part but you have to ask yourself, do we do better by taking a child from a refugee camp or taking a child from lebanon or from jordan then would you taking a child from france or italy or germany . And as i said to compare this to the 1930s is frankly to insult this country who are neighbors and partners. [shouting] thank you, mr. Speaker. The group, one of europes largest independent manufacturers, make transmissions electronics and last week were on board the queens award for innovation. Adp export goods across the globe with our International Trade increasing by over 50 last year. Will my right honorable friend join me in congratulating adp and will they set out what government is doing to support exporters, reach new markets . Isolate join my honorable friend in congratulating adp. Its difficult we went t the queens award for export to the do deserve respect we currently have one in five anthonys the export. If we can make that in one in four we will bite out of trade deficit. We are encouraging that, but were also encouraging it as i saw yesterday in south wales by encouraging, by getting the supplies and components industry for
