House of Commons Monday 5 March 2012 Votes and Proceedings No. 271 1857 House of Commons Monday 5 March 2012 Votes and Proceedings The House met at 2.30 pm. PRAYERS. 1 Questions to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions 2 Statement: European Council (Prime Minister) 3 Opposition Day: Leader of the Opposition (Un-allotted day) (1) Jobs and growth in a low-carbon economy Motion made and Question put, That this House believes that the achievements of the previous administration and cross-party support for the Climate Change Act 2008 underpin the attractiveness of the UK to green investment; notes this Government’s promise to be the greenest Government ever; regrets that under the present Government investment in clean energy, particularly wind power, has declined and the UK has fallen to thirteenth in the world for investment in green growth; further regrets the delays to the Green Investment Bank, the lack of clarity over financing of the Green Deal, the uncertainty surrounding funding for carbon capture and storage, the chaotic mismanagement of the cuts to the feed-in tariff for solar power, and the undermining of zero-carbon homes; further believes that the effect of these policy failures, mixed signals from the Government and open hostility from Government backbench Members to action to cut carbon emissions have exacerbated investor uncertainty, hit small and medium-sized businesses, and reduced the UK’s ability to attract, retain and increase investment; rejects the idea that the transition to a low-carbon economy is a burden and believes it has the potential to be a major source of jobs and growth for the UK; and calls on the Government to bring forward an active industrial strategy for low-carbon growth by providing a stable policy framework to unlock private investment, improving public procurement, developing a low-carbon skills strategy, rebalancing the economy to support growth in the regions and encourage manufacturing, and engaging communities in the transition to a low-carbon economy.—(Caroline Flint.) The House divided. Division No. 482. Ayes: 218 (Tellers: Mr David Hamilton, Jonathan Ashworth). Noes: 275 (Tellers: Mark Hunter, Mr Philip Dunne). Question accordingly negatived. (2) Living standards Motion made and Question put, That this House believes that next month’s Budget should include a real plan for jobs and growth in order to boost the stalled economy, help hard-pressed families, pensioners and small businesses, bring down unemployment, and so ensure that the deficit is brought down and done so in a fair way; notes that while the banks are receiving a tax cut this year, the Institute for Fiscal Studies analysis shows that families with children will lose an average of £580 per year from tax and benefit changes coming into effect in 2012-13; further notes that up to 200,000 couples with children who work part-time face losing all their working tax credit of up to £3,870 per year from April 2012 if they cannot increase their working hours to 24 hours per week, further squeezing family living standards; further 1858 Votes and Proceedings: 5 March 2012 No. 271 recognises that, in addition to ending the principle of universal child benefit, the Government’s unfair and ill-thought-through changes to child benefit will mean that a family with two earners each earning £40,000 would keep all its child benefit, but a single-earner family on £43,000 would lose it all, at a cost of £2,450 per year for a family with three children; and calls on the Chancellor to use extra revenue from tackling tax avoidance to cancel his changes to eligibility rules for working tax credits and announce in the Budget an immediate and urgent review of his changes to child benefit, to report before they come into effect in January 2013.—(Rachel Reeves.) The House divided. Division No. 483. Ayes: 220 (Tellers: Phil Wilson, Chris Ruane). Noes: 284 (Tellers: Greg Hands, Mark Hunter). Question accordingly negatived. 4 Water Industry (Financial Assistance) Bill (Allocation of Time) Ordered, That, at the sitting on Tuesday 6 March, proceedings on the adjourned debate on Second Reading of the Water Industry (Financial Assistance) Bill shall (so far as not previously concluded) be brought to a conclusion two hours after their commencement at that day’s sitting.—(Jeremy Wright.) 5 Business of the House (7 March) Ordered, That, at the sitting on Wednesday 7 March, paragraph (2) of Standing Order No. 31 (Questions on amendments) shall apply to the Motion in the name of Mr Nigel Dodds as if the day were an Opposition Day; proceedings on the Motion may continue, though opposed, for three hours and shall then lapse if not previously disposed of; and Standing Order No. 41A (Deferred divisions) shall not apply.—(Jeremy Wright.) 6 Sittings of the House (20 March) Ordered, That on Tuesday 20 March the House shall meet at a quarter to Ten o’clock and no committees shall meet earlier than half past Three o’clock.—(Jeremy Wright.) 7 Adjournment Subject: Golden anniversary of Livingston New Town (Graeme Morrice).

General Committees: Reports 12 European Committee B in respect of European Union Documents No. 15936/10, No. 16219/10 and No. 16392/10, relating to the EU Citizenship Reports 2010, and No. 18122/10, relating to the Commission Green Paper on less bureaucracy for citizens: promoting free movement of public documents and recognition of effects of civil status records Mr Jim Hood (Chair) reported the following Resolution: That the Committee takes note of European Union Documents No. 15936/10, No. 16219/10 and No. 16392/10, relating to the EU Citizenship Reports 2010, and No. 18122/10, relating to the Commission Green Paper on less bureaucracy for citizens: promoting free movement of public documents and recognition of effects of civil status records; and supports the Government’s view that European citizenship should be understood as defined in the Treaties, which make clear that citizenship of the EU is additional to and does not replace national citizenship; recognises that the Government is approaching each measure individually to ensure it is proportionate, effective and offers value for money; and further notes that the Government is supportive of the objectives of the Green Paper but does not consider that the Paper is able to provide evidence of the need for change in some areas, and that much can be achieved through the sharing of best practice and closer co-operation between Member States.

  • New Culture Minister Jeremy Wright, Appointed This Week After a Cabinet
    New culture minister urged to digitise export licences for art works: New culture minister Jeremy Wright, appointed this week after a Cabinet reshuffle prompted by the resignation of David Davis and Boris Johnson, is being asked to prioritise the introduction of digital export licences for art works in time for Brexit. Unlike other categories of exports, the export of art, antiques and cultural goods remains a paper-based system, despite requests from art market leaders to speed up the process with a digital alternative. 12.07.2018, Antiques Trade Gazette: New culture minister urged to digitise export licences for art works New culture minister Jeremy Wright, appointed this week after a Cabinet reshuffle prompted by the resignation of David Davis and Boris Johnson, is being asked to prioritise the introduction of digital export licences for art works in time for Brexit. Wright, the former attorney general and a criminal barrister, was unveiled as secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport (DCMS) to replace Matt Hancock, who moved to become health secretary after just six months heading the DCMS department. Paper-based licences Unlike other categories of exports, the export of art, antiques and cultural goods remains a paper- based system, despite requests from art market leaders to speed up the process with a digital alternative. The pressure to solve the issue has grown with concerns about possible border delays for art and antiques exports to the Continent once the UK leaves the EU in March 2019. “One area affecting the art market that falls in the remit of the DCMS, which is increasingly urgent, is the need for making export licensing digital,” chairman of the British Art Market Federation, Anthony Browne, told ATG.

  • The UK's EU Referendum
    The sixth in DeHavilland's UK/EU referendum series, this briefing takes stock of the situation following the agreement at the European Council on the 19th of February. It looks at the campaign rules for British ministers, as senior figures declare their positions and presents the results of a DeHavilland poll of parliamentarians on their stance. Date set The 23rd of June 2016 has been set as the date that the UK will vote on whether it wants to remain a member of the European Union. After months of painstaking negotiations since Prime Minister David Cameron promised the referendum over three years ago, a deal agreed in Brussels has provided the catalyst for the date to be set, and cabinet ministers to start declaring their positions, having been allowed to campaign on either side of the debate by a wary PM. immigrants.

How did we get here? The Disinformation Age assembles a remarkable group of historians, political scientists, and communication scholars to examine the historical and political origins of the post-fact information era, focusing on the United States but with lessons for other democracies. Bennett and Livingston frame the book by examining decades-long efforts by political and business interests to undermine authoritative institutions, including parties, elections, public agencies, science, independent journalism, and civil society groups. The other distinguished scholars explore the historical origins and workings of disinformation, along with policy challenges and the role of the legacy press in improving public communication.
