That is what we will continue with. And that is why we will stick to the longterm economic plan. Eliminating the deficit, net migration down into the tens of thousands, no topdown reorganization, why did the Prime Minister make these promises, and why did he break them . We said we would get the deficit is down, and the deficit is down by half. From a disgraceful situation left by our neighbor. I thought the gentleman would take the opportunity to talk about the vital still interests in his contingency that well talk about later on today. Im working as hard as we can to try to make sure we keep still production growing in our country. But i have to say to him, as hes introduced a political element, so might i. Production is up. And to this Government Employment in industry is up where it was down under labor. Why is that . Because weve got a car industry thats growing, were got an Aerospace Industry thats growing, weve got construction thats growing. Were getting britain back to work. Is my friend aware in the past 12 months, over 60 journalists have been killed in the course of their work, including those at Charlie Hebdo last week. I attended several other members of parliament to find in paris, of a declaration by representatives of every european country, recognizing the vital role of journalists in a free society. And pledging to do Everything Possible to protect that safety. Will my friend reaffirm that commitment today . I pay tribute to my friend for the work he does in supporting the freedom of the press. I certainly reiterate what he says today. When this most struck me is when i visited jafna in northern sri lanka, and went to see a newspaper office, that would have been shot up, bombed and burned. That brings home to you what journalists in other countries have for years faced in bringing the truth and putting in front of the people, which is a vital part of a Free Democratic system. And obviously the events in paris are truly horrific. I think the duty of everyone in public life is not necessarily to say whether or not we agree with this being published or that being published, theyre all going to have their opinion. What matters is we should always defend the right of people to publish whatever is inside the law and in their opinion right to publish. Thats our job and we must do it properly. Mr. Speaker, were seeing a meltdown in emergency care. Yet the Prime Ministers Health Secretary accuses us of whipping up a crisis. Isnt it time for some honesty this government has simply failed . Absolutely, we do face real challenges this winter with the pressures on a e. The University Hospital trust proves what can be done with the extra resources that were putting in, and the excellent management of that hospital. Because last week, 96. 6 of people going to a e in her contingency were seen within hours. Last week i met chloe, an apprentice who had started her a apprenticeship. The Prime Minister congratulates all those people who have jobs that started apprenticeships in my contingency, where unemployment has fallen by 30 in the last year alone. Further evidence that the governments longterm economic plan is delivering better quality jobs and opportunities for people across the region. I certainly join my honorable friend in congratulating chloe and starting her apprenticeship. Nearly 4,000 people have begun an apprenticeship since 2010. The claimant count is down 42 since his election. Young people on unemployment benefit month after month, that is down by 58 in the last year alone. This recovery is gathering pace. It is providing jobs for people. And each one of those jobs is the chance for them to provide a Better Future for their families. Weve got to stick to the plan and a key part of the plan is getting the deficit down. Under such pressure theyre downgrading the cause of some of the sickest people in the country. In the east of england 57 people are believed to have died waiting for an ambulance that never arrived. Isnt the Prime Minister ashamed this is what happens when the torreys are on the nhs . A change was made without the knowledge of the trust. As soon as it was found out, the chief executive reversed the decision and ordered an independent investigation, carried out by someone from outside the trust. And the investigation found there had been no harm to patients. It is important to put this in context. He quite rightly says its very important that we conduct this debate in a good and civilized way. Now, the weekend, the leader of the opposition, was asked seven times whether he had used the phrase that he wanted to weaponize the nhs. Seven times he refused to answer the question. Everybody knows that he said those words. And if he had a shred of decency in him he would get up and explain, he shouldnt have said those words and apologize. [ shouting ] Stephen Lloyd thank you, mr. Speaker. A few weeks ago a tragic event occurred in my contingency where a girl was killed in a traffic accident. Since then the school have rallied around to support the family, her parents. They have raised money to try and bring the grandparents to join them at the funeral. The home office has refused to say, and said the relatives have gone. I have even gone one step further and said i would act as a guarantor that the relatives will return to zimbabwe. Prime minister, will you intervene . Its absolutely horrific when children are killed in accidents like this. We all know in our own contingencyies that it happens. Ill make sure the home office has a careful look to see what can be done. Gregory campbell. Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister will be aware that the public and Small Businesses across the uk have had to endure high fuel bills in recent years. In recent weeks, the price has been steadily dropping, and fuel prices at the pump have not reduced by anything like that. Last week the chancellor indicated that some action would be taken against fuel companies. What action . I think we should welcome this fall in oil prices. Were beginning to see prices fall quite substantially at the pumps. But i agree with him, we want to see that go further and faster. Some of it will depend op the buying strategies that the fuel companies have. But well make sure that the government does everything it can to make sure the fuel prices are passed on. Alex shellbrook. Thank you very much. Mr. Speaker, on the 30th of january, i should be holding a summit in my constituency bringing together some of the fantastic work the organizations like why and peter smith in rockwell have helped di men sha. Does my friend degree with my that dementia is one of the greatest challenges that we face in this country, and the Strong Economy fails to invest in di men sha. Youre right, this is a crisis for our country. Its been creeping up. As a sort of silent crisis. Because the diagnosis rates for dementia havent been high enough. I dont think theres been enough action across our country to deal with this. Theres a clear dementia strategy doubling money going into research. Were training more people in our nhs and care homes to deal better with people with dementia. And also were making sure more people in the community become dementia friends with a target of over 1 Million People becoming dementia friends. Every member of the cabinet became a dementia friend. I commend of what he is doing getting together all of the organizations that can help people. We spread the word about good practice. Because people with dementia dont just need health care, they need help whether theyre at the post office or banks or bus or train station. They need help in every part of their lives. We all have a role to play. According to the role college of nursing the number of nurses in london has fallen by 4. 5,000. The Prime Minister said the number isn rising. Whos right . The fact is, nationwide we have 3,300 more nurses. And i can give him some figures for his own constituency. If we look at the nhs red bridge commissioning group, this year is getting an increase in funding of 4. 79 and the numbers of staff in that are up. If we look at for instance, the box hospital what we had is last week over 6,630 people were seen within four hours. And performance across the london area has been very good. Ill make one further point to him, which he might want to bring home to his own local authorities, and i think this is important when we consider what is happening in social care. Is that hes, two authorities, red bridge, who are seeing the reserves go up by 65 million since 2010 and forest up by 26 million since 2010. That is what is happening. And that actually was right. Finally, let me give him the information on forest as a whole in terms of the funding of money. That has provided 22 more doctors, 27 more nurses, 146 more beds. [ shouting ] there are over 3 Million People with diabetes in this country. The report calls for education for people to prevent type 2 diabetes, education for people to know when to approach their gp with symptoms for type 1 or type 2. And education of people with the condition so that they can selfmanage and take pressure offer the nha. Will the Prime Minister look at the report and act on its findings . I will certainly look at this report. Because i think of all the health care conditions there are, one of the ones which we if we act on it fastest we can have a huge effect on diabetes. If you look at the costs of things like amputations and other treatments because people getting diabetes you can make an enormous impact. He raises the issue about being able to selfregulate. Theres Exciting New Technology coming forward in terms of diabetes. And i want to make sure that technology is rapidly adopted by the nhs. Mr. Speaker, the independent obr says the governments longterm spending plan means capping 1 million Public Service workers. Can the Prime Minister tell the country, which million Public Services he is planning to cut . What the obrs say is actually what the treasury say, which is everyone who last night voted for the fiscal mandate is committed to 30 billion pounds of adjustment in the next two years. On this side of the house my party has set out exactly how we meet that. It is 13 million of department cuts, 12 billion of welfare cuts and 5 billion from tax evasion and avoidance. The labor party has told us did yly squat of how they will spend that money. There is a challenge for the labor party, if youre going to sign up for 30 billion pounds of adjustment, isnt it time you told us which taxes are going to go up, what youre going too do to debt and how youre going to wreck this countrys economy. Thank you mr. Speaker. My honorable friend has the story of allison on page 6 today. Under this government women are flourishing, 20 of businesses are run by women. Does my honorable friend agree with me, women, especially from essex, are part of our great economic plan. Absolutely. Those wheels are turning. I think it is important, as the point he makes, of course i look at this every morning. The fact is, under labor female unemployment went up by 24 . Under this government, the number of women in work is highest since records began. The proportion of women that begin businesses in this country is up by a third. If we can get the same level of female entrepreneurship in england as in america, we would wipe out the female unemployment that we have. Mr. Speaker at 1 00 this afternoon, number 10 downing street parents and children is calling on the Prime Minister to personally get involved to get england to stop a bureaucratic internal prevention of the transatlantic which has an effect on young boys, that wouldnt have to go away. Will the Prime Minister get involved with this and get this resolved as a matter of urgency . I will try and find time to see these parents today. I was looking at this issue last night, where their child, exactly the same age as my son. I saw his picture on the local football team, and it made me think how vital it is to get these drugs through as quickly as we can. Theres been a debate about whether these drugs should be licensed quickly. I will meet them. I will have a look at this petition and see what can be done. What is worse, to forget the deficit exists or have no plan to bring it back into balance . Speaker, i think as it were in the three stages of manner, i think the final i think they have finally set in the deficit. Theyve voted for 30 billion pounds of adjustment. But they cannot manage to tell us how much theyre going to raise in taxes what theyre going to do in spending. Theyve had four and a half years to come up with an economic policy. And theyve got absolutely no plan for our country. My 94yearold constituent was taken by ambulance to hospital where she waited six hours in a corridor before being admitted. The next morning she was moved to another hospital because there were no beds available. Does the Prime Minister think asking the ale, the 360 inpatient beds as he proposes will make such an appalling instance much more likely in the future . 94 of people this year so far have been seeing a doctor within four hours. Everyone who is a neighboring member of parliament knows that he is absolutely instrumental in spreading Disinformation Campaign about his local hospitals. For once, he should take the truth and put it on a leaflet. [ shouting ] some people are very quick to criticize when there are challenges. It must also be right to celebrate its successes. The Prime Minister congratulates milton King Hospital and university of buckingham for establishing a new medical school that will not only train the next generation of clinicians, but raise standards at our hospitals . Im very happy to join my honorable friend in doing that. Making sure we educate the next generation of doctors and nurses, and clinicians is absolutely vital. What we see under this government is 9,000 more doctors, 3,300 more nurses. We are treating 1. 3 million more people in a e. There are 6 million more outpatient appointments. Thats actually happening in rnhs. All credit to the hard working staff who are carrying out that vital work. Mr. Jim sheridan. Mr. Speaker, the recipients are often demonized. Does the Prime Minister agree that the taxpayers have always been asked if you can afford above the minimum wage the hard working families, state dependency . Im in favor of the living wage. I think those organizations that can pay the living wage should pay the living wage. I think its a very good thing that should happen. But in addition to that, i notice there is opposition. Maybe he could start it in his own backyard. [ shouting ] but in addition to that, seeing min muj wages rise we should also be taking the lowest paid people out of tax. Well hear more about the terrorist attacks in paris now from british home secretary teresa may who told members in the house of commons that allowing the uk government to have access to phone records is necessary to combat terrorism. Order. Secretary teresa may. Thank you mr. Speaker. With permission i would like to make statement about the terrorist takes in paris. It will take some time for us to learn the full details but its clear. 17 innocent people were murdered in cold blood and a number of others were injured. The terrorist who taked the jewish supermarket claim his actions were carried out in the name of isil. Cherif and said the two brothers were associated with al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in yemen. The same al qaeda affiliate that had been in contact with men who earlied rigby in 2013. As the aweppalling events in paris were unfolding this house was investigating the security bill which is set by the independent join Terrorism Analysis Center and remains. This mean a terrorist attack in our country is highly likely and could occur without warning. Three serious terrorist plots have been disrupted. Nearly 600 people from this country have traveled to syria and iraq to fight. Around half of them have returned. There are thousands of people from across europe who have done the same. As i said during the passage of the Counter Terrorism bill and on many preetrepeated occasions the government will do everything it can to keep them safe. As soon as the attacks in france took place the government increased security at the uk border. Officers forced the police and other organizations intensified checks on passengers vehicles and goods entering the uk. We offered the french government all assistance necessary including the full cooperation of our police a intelligence agencies. On sunday before i attended the peace rally in paris i held talks in counter parts for europe and the United States and canada to discuss what action we can take together. There was firm support and defeat the idealology that lies behind the threat. Officials the security minister and i will keep up the space when it comes to passenger name records with other european Member States. On monday the Prime Minister defense secretary and i held a security meeting with senior officials to review the paris takes and the risks to the uk of a similar attack. Of course, weve long had detailed plans for dealing with these kinds of attack ps. The house will recall the attacks in mumbai in 2008 when terrorists armed with explosives took the lives of more than 150 people. Since 2010, we have improved our Police Firearms capability and the speed of our military response through range of other measures. We have improved joint working between the Emergency Services to deal specifically with gun attacks. Specialists joint Police Ambulance and fire teams are in pla
