Fuel Poverty | Energy and Climate Change | Written Answers

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change what estimate he has made of the number of (a) individuals and (b) households in (i) England, (ii) Wales and (iii) Scotland who spend...

Kingston Hospital | Commons debates

I warmly congratulate my hon. Friend on her campaign, which has eerie echoes of the campaign that we fought in Cheltenham in 2006 to preserve maternity and other services. Is she aware that...

Clause 1 - Temporary validity of certain Orders in Council | Terrorist Asset-Freezing (Temporary Provisions) Bill (Allocation of Time) | Commons debates

Am I right in thinking that, when a suspension of the Supreme Court's decision was requested, the Court refused it on the ground that it would simply be "a procedure that is designed to obfuscate...

Schedule 4 - Reservoirs | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

My hon. Friend makes a welcome contribution and raises an important issue. I thank the Minister and the hon. Member for Vale of York for their important and constructive contributions to the...

Schedule 4 - Reservoirs | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

This Bill, if a little late and perhaps a little rushed-certainly today-is an important and much needed piece of legislation, which we continue to support. In just a few minutes, flood water has...

New Clause 10 - Resilience of critical infrastructure | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

Typically, my hon. Friend is absolutely right. It is in the interests of insurance companies themselves to get many of the issues relating to flooding and insurance sorted out. They do not want...

New Clause 10 - Resilience of critical infrastructure | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

Given the limited time available, I shall speak to new clause 14, which I want to press to a Division. Insurance is a huge issue; an amendment in the name of the right hon. Member for Makerfield...

New Clause 3 - Pilot schemes for adoption of private drains | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

We have little time remaining, so I want to ask the Minister a question. He mentions many consultations, and there is much public concern about these issues. Does he agree that two important...

New Clause 3 - Pilot schemes for adoption of private drains | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

New Clause 3 - Pilot schemes for adoption of private drains | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

I am not sure whether that intervention was addressed to me or the Minister, but anyway, the hon. Lady did not resolve the problem of what it is difficult to avoid calling a mistake in new...

New Clause 3 - Pilot schemes for adoption of private drains | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

The amendments address hugely important issues. I am concerned, however, that there are real problems with new clause 3, as there were with the identical clause tabled in Committee. I agree with...

New Clause 2 - Regular maintenance of water courses | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

I can reassure the right hon. Gentleman that if he had tabled any amendments, the notes on those would have been on extremely dark blue paper.

New Clause 2 - Regular maintenance of water courses | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

I am absolutely in agreement with the hon. Gentleman on that. In fact he could have taken the words out of my mouth. The Government's proposal to break up that shared service is very much to be...

New Clause 2 - Regular maintenance of water courses | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

The right hon. Gentleman makes an eloquent point. The spirit of it is exactly right. It underlines the risk of endlessly creating more and more bureaucracy and responsibility. Some of it may be...

New Clause 2 - Regular maintenance of water courses | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

I shall continue the spirit of cross-party friendship by expressing support for new clauses 2 and 9. New clause 2 addresses an issue on which many of our constituents have sought a lot of...

New Clause 22 - Social tariffs | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

I hope that the House will forgive my pressing this point. In fact, just for once, it is not the ministerial guidance that we, and the Scout Association, are worried about. The concern is about...

New Clause 22 - Social tariffs | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

The explicit assurance that I and the Scout Association were looking for, however, was on the exercise of the remit in respect of the concessionary charges scheme. We want an assurance that Ofwat...

New Clause 22 - Social tariffs | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

I am sure that the right hon. Gentleman was listening carefully, but that is not what I said. I said that, because the subsidy was going to be spread across a very large number of people-in...

New Clause 22 - Social tariffs | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

The right hon. Gentleman makes a fair point. Some of the figures put forward by Thames Water, which I can share with him another time, suggest that the number affected is a small percentage of...

New Clause 22 - Social tariffs | Compensation Act 2006 (Amendment) | Commons debates

I would like to start by echoing the remarks of the Minister and the hon. Member for Vale of York (Miss McIntosh) about the positive atmosphere that prevailed in Committee. I share their desire...
