CSPAN2 Prime Ministers Questions From The British House Of Commons May 18, 2016

Tell us the stroke of 12. I will be doing it in pace. The only idea is to give the governors metonymy. Its what happened with the economy schools. Weve already heard a bit of criticism that people have given metonymy to look at fenton name. The autonomy sentencing. A salute to praise charles. The National Anthem as they crowned path. The thing is, michael, you are a conservative. You are a civil war in the conservative party at the moment. Youve got a long memory. Nine is reasonable. There are two conservative parties. You dont come together on what they do presently in its heart to see coming together after the referendum. I understand what youre telling us. The original referendum as the labour party itself was torn apart then. There is nothing new in politics. There will undoubtedly be a very important. After the referendum or everybody has a reassessment. Weve got another month and its not pleasant. The opposition to the government install from within their own type. Wouldnt you say the role of the actual legal opposition is almost left out while they battle on. Well, indeed. I think weve seen the last parliamentary year, literally went the opposition 60 feet of legislation in the house of lords. The government doesnt have to pay too much attention to those types of laws, even the small majority should be able to overturn them. They do, the vast majority. The compromiscompromis e, the one where there is a point that the government didnt want to compromise have always had their doubts and go on with what the lord has said. Around 60. I couldnt possibly two defeats in the house comments. That is unusual for a majority government. It is. It is. For example, the academy issue on the Child Migrants issue and that is because there is a little tiny majority what you can do. Now the crown. Back into the carriage, placed there by the crown jeweler. The final act of this pageant. They will make their way back to buckingham palace. Queen alexandra state coach. The coach is on board. And theyll be on their way. The important memory of course that carriages do not pay the charge in Central London because they are in that sense very fuelefficient gear in ive got to put it to you because its not my opinion. But we are just getting a little in terminal battle of the conservative party. You would expect it to be worse than it is. We have never had a go which is as meaningful as this referendum. So its not surprising that people take it very seriously. And you would expect a little. I have to say its gone too far in yesterdays hearing damage to the conservative party. They will be the but important job of record alleviation after were the party that together again. One of the advantages of a bean in june as it does actually give us time before the next election. That is important. You are absolutely about party, but you saw some of these battles in the first year of the conservative government, didnt you, just which way. Very difficult. Passions run high and people have good deepseated opinions about certain things and believe they are right. Its really important for officials, the surgeon arms and speaker to try to rise above that and be impartial and have friends and colleagues on all sides of the chamber. Most importantly to be seen to be impartial. That is one of the things i try to do. People are always pointing the finger saying youre giving a certain privilege to one side or the other. Their actions rather than what you say is really important to keep in the world, but also allow the house to express itself. Will we see them still fit years, 100 years . I think we may see some are rated in the top 50 or 100 years. We brought them back. It goes to the strength of demand. We are making for the Michael Dobbs lecture on by the ladies and gentlemen, thank you all very much. I think we successfully covered and enjoy the politics. Thanks to the further right, historian professor k. William and the former surgeon arms of the house of commons it thank you to our parliamentary correspondent, susan q. For that insight and thank you, two for watching as the queen and other members of the royal family are headed out to the palace. The comments return to their place as far as i can be on my monitor here, and scurrying away as fast as they can, probably if people alluded to more refreshment. At 238 caught this afternoon, Bbc Parliament will have live coverage of the queens speech debate, where this will actually be debated, with the Prime Minister will be putting the case for the bills outlined in this queens speech and the leader of the opposition will have his say. Then it will be jeremy corbins first outing in this role as leader of the opposition. To join us at Bbc Parliament at 2 30 for that life debate. Thank you were watching us morning and i hope youve all enjoyed it. Have a very good afternoon. At the houston senator and for business this morning. The house members will continue working on defense programs policy bill. Yesterday in the house, new york democrat Jerrold Nadler spoke about the situation with the Guantanamo Bay prison facilities. Nt here is what i have to say. Thank you, mr. Chairman. I yield myself this time. Mr. Chairman, this memo straight 1032 and 1033 of the bill which prohibit the funds to transfer detainees from Guantanamo Bay, cuba to the United States or to expand facility to house an individual current aim and guantanamo. Simply put, the section isisguao designed to make it as difficult as possible to transfer detainees to a differentshameful authority. My amendment is intended to do the opposite and finally bring to a close a chapter of america history. The Administration Policy says the following. The administration strongly object to several provisions of the bill that relate to the detention of soviet guantanamo. If the administration said many times before, operating weakened their facility by draining resources on the damaging relationships with key allies and partners and emboldening violent extremists. They submitted a comprehencomprehen sive plan too safely and responsibly close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay cuba and bring this chapter of our history to a close. Rather than taking steps to2 close the facility, the operation. N. Section 1032 and 1033 withates,r continue to transfer guantanamo detainees to the United States or construct and modify the United States to house detainees. S. These restrictions that limit the ability to take the steps necessary to develop alternative locations for the detention facility and from failing the facility at guantanamo, close quote. Mr. Chairman, in 2016 United States continues to hold people indefinitely who have not been charged or convicted of anyposey crime in some cases have been judged not to pose any threat to the united dates. By continue to hold prisoners indefinitely without chargingpp them is inconsistent with our support of liberty. Some will say detainees are. Dangerous and some but some are not. They are merely people captured in some way who have not been charged. Some of them are simply victims of the fact that the United States paid bounties to people in afghanistan years ago and turning people. The hatfields turned to thest mccoys because why not come youre giving them a bounty for 2000 a head. But the truly dangerous, we have to prosecute them and his convicted punished them p appropriately. No one has ever escaped. Theres a reason to spend so much money and guantanamo and how this continuing shame on the reputation of the United States. Speaking of money coming in at most thes most expensive prison by fire. We have spending about 2. 9 million annually per prisoner. It costs less than 35,000 per prisoner told someone in a super max facility in the United States. Frankly they dont deserve spending. We should be spending money in the United States, not on defense. No one will argue the money could not be better somewhere te else. Finally, i would like to submit for the record a letter signed by 30 retired generals urging the congress to close the detention facility at guantanamo. End quote president george bush when he said the facility have become a propaganda to enemies. For obvious reasons, it weakens our security, drains resources, emboldened enemies and it is contrary to liberty and everything we stand for. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and that these restrictions on closingg detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. Th cheaply and without subjectingng us to the continued propaganda against one time appeared thank you. I reserve the balance of myman,i time. The gentleman from texas isn recognized. Ttee, mr. Chairman, im pleased to yield one minute to the distinguished member of the Armed Services committee, gentlelady from indiana. The gentle ladies recognize. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Highrises strong opposition to the gentlemans amendment. I take particular issue at the point made by the gentleman from to keep guantanamo open. I declare to you that we cant afford to close at. Lets look at the numbers. According to south com, the annual operating cost is over 100 million. However, according to this administration some figures, the cost to renovate facilities nearly half a billion dollars and not including the annualal operating costs. Mr. Chairman, what is the life of an american worth . Are we willing to stand here and have the conversation . I dont think so. This would not make americans safer. Mo its in the best interest of our National Security to keep Guantanamo Bay opened in the number show is number show its also the best best interest of the american taxpayer. I also want to respond to another quick comment over here where he taught about some of those people are just merely detained. I want to remind us in this chamber, these are the worst off the worst. These are the most hardened terrorists the world has everf n seen and more important they they have the blood of americans that should be kept in the face facility where they are. I urge my colleagues to reject the amendment. Digital video that is the gentleman from new york ishave . Recognized. How much time do i have . One minute. Mr. Chairman, i yield myself the balance of my time. Weve heard again the mantra from the other side. These people are the worst of the worst. They have american blood on their hands. Some of them may. But many of them dont. They have not been tried. Of i dont know with what Authorities Say they are the worst of the worst picture of some, not of others. What kind of system is it to simply take people, not try them, not accused them and hold them indefinitely because somebody says they are the worst of the worst. What authority and what groove. As to the funding, it costs between three and 5 million from a 2. 9 million in 2013, closer to 5 million per person per year to hold someone in a super max facility. If we do we share. According to its incredibly expensive to keep them there for a reason. Again, some people ought to be tried and sentenced to life in prison or whatever. Some of them have found not to be a danger to the United States. Repeating over and over again the worst of the worst and thats simply not true. E some of them know they do not make the case. I yield back. The gentleman from texas is recognized. Im pleased to yield one to the gentleman from ohio, dr. Lindstrom. Thank you here the rise in opposition to the nadlerer amendment because it would alloe detainees housed at guantanamo to be transferred to the United States. Why do you want to do that . To endanger communities . I served at abu ghraib and we to release prisoners. Weve seen our enemies capable of planning and in some instances launching attacks. Currently the move is not allowed. We asked the president for details on a plan. It was that it was comprehensive. It didnt say where they would be house or how much it would cost the tax they are. This was not a serious plan. Dea but we do need however is a consistent policy and how to deal with future terrorist detainees. I would agree with that. Guantanamo remains our best option right now. A safe and appropriate location to hold detainees. It is secure and our homeland. Guantanamo provides humanene conditions with appropriate access to health care, the samei as our troops out of there. They have recreational material and i yield back. The gentleman yields back. Gentleman from texas is recognized. Im pleased to yield one minute to the distinguished gentleman who serves on the select committee. Mr. Pompeo. The gentleman is recognized. Thank you, mr. Chairman. I rise in opposition to the nadler amendment as well. These are the worst of the worst. The detainees are not coax and bottle washers can lead to serious men who are meant to do serious harm. Ki i want on the time i have talking about an argument made in favor of closing this facility. Of an argument that says these men attacked america because the existence of Guantanamo Bay. It is inaccurate, false if the facts dont support the claim. We have evidence from al qaeda, from terrorists but their reasons for their attacks. As it was mentioned in these cases. Iraq, afghanistan and even the crusades were mentioned hundreds of times. Guantanamo bay is not the reason they attacked america. The we wrote mr. Clapper. He to confirm this is not a motivation for the attacks. Of these attacks began well before the existence of Guantanamo Bay. The fact that Guantanamo Bay acts as a nation to promote terrorism is false and must be reject it as wallaces amendment. Jamaat from texas recognized. Im pleased to yield to the Armed Services committee, gentleman from colorado, mr. Kaufman. The gentleman is recognized. Mr. Chairman, i rise today in strong opposition to this amendment to the Obama Administration suffers to close the prison with responsible ando dangerous. A report from january of this year by the office of the director of National Number of guantanamo detainees released by the obamaareturnin administration has doubled since the last recidivism report in 2015. Those who remain in Guantanamo Bay are the worst of the worst. It is safe to presume that if released an even higher percentage of them would remain a threat to our National Security. Any attempt to transfer these detainees in the home state of colorado or to any other state. Congress has responsibility. They must remain in place. Thank you. He i yield back to the maximum from texas is recognized. How much time do i have lefte five seconds. Okay coming thank you. I am pleased to yield everything we have left to theis chair of the Oversight Committee page apology from missouri. Ha in that gentlelady is recognized. Dm mr. Chairman, it is reckless to propose this amendment. Not only does it allow them to come here on our own shores inin her neighborhood and the Administration Costs potentially 475 million to move them here. But it also removes the prohibition that these detainees could be transferred to somalia, libya area. We do not want these terrorists released back onto the battlefield where they could kill our soldiers. This is a reckless amendment they needs to be defeated. We need to keep them at gitmo, user taxpayers dollars wisely and ensure the safety of our neighborhood. I yield back. On secretary, we proudly get 72 of our delicate to to the next person of the United States. [cheers and applause] u. S.
