That this House is deeply concerned by the introduction of charging for use of the new Child Maintenance Service and that a lack of resources means that £2.9 billion of the £3.9 billion arrears owed to single parent families is not being collected; deplores the fact that money once intended for the upbringing of children is now being taken solely for Government coffers and that receiving families will lose out by over £70 a year which could pay for anything from winter coats to school trips or to put food on the table; refutes the idea that charges act as an incentive for parents to make private arrangements; questions how charging passes the Government's flagship family test, which includes an assessment of what impact a policy has on families most at risk of deteriorating relationships and breakdown; is mindful that a statutory child maintenance system was set up 21 years ago to address the suffering caused by child poverty and the financial costs that were otherwise being met by the state; and urges the Government to end charging for use of the child maintenance system and ensure adequate resources to collect arrears.

Another issue is whether site owners that are local authorities use the same policies. Any review should encompass local authorities that own parks and also have the 10% rule, because they certainly do not justify the fee they take for the pitch in terms of work carried out on sites.

That this House commends the efforts of Macmillan Cancer Support in its campaign to abolish car parking fees for cancer patients; notes that 45 per cent of cancer sufferers are worried about fees and that the average patient pays £325 for parking over the course of their treatment; and calls on English hospitals to follow those in Scotland and Wales in removing or lowering parking charges for cancer sufferers.

That this House notes with concern the presentation to HM Treasury by Dr Christopher Sier, a former consultant to investment managers, and David Norman, formerly Chief Executive of Credit Suisse Asset Management (UK) that high pension and saving fund hidden costs are not fully understood by consumers, could damage the fragile savings culture in the UK, are estimated to cost 67.2 billion a year with the greatest cost being wages and bonuses for traders and fund managers, and are rising; further notes that even the costs which are made public reveal that UK funds are in many cases more expensive to invest in than funds in France, Germany and the US; believes that without reform pension funds management business opportunities for the UK financial services industry could be lost; and calls on the Government to take urgent action to drive pension charges down and help the next generation of pensioners and the communities they live in to have a safer, more secure future.

That this House calls on utility providers such as BT and electricity companies to re-assess decisions taken several years ago to impose additional charges on customers who choose not pay their bills by direct debit, as this places an unduly harsh penalty on vulnerable groups such as those on low incomes, single parents and elderly people.

That this House welcomes the recent decision of the Office of Fair Trading to act against a fee-charging debt management company in respect of misleading advertising; notes, however, that this is only one symptom of much more widespread problems across the fee-charging sector, with customers often being encouraged to take out the most profitable arrangement from the business's perspective rather than the most appropriate one for the individual; and calls on the Government to replace the current discredited system of self-regulation with a statutory regime.

Does my hon. Friend accept the suggestion that there are to be no ballots because most of them might be lost if parents knew all the facts? That situation is being avoided simply by not making provision for a ballot in the first place.

Does my hon. Friend agree that if the possibility of a ballot taking place arose, it should not be just the parents of children at the existing school who were allowed to vote? It would have to be wider than that and take in the parents of children in feeder...

I understand and accept entirely the right hon. Gentleman's point about the checks and balances being in place once a school is created, but the amendment is about whether people should have a choice about such a school being set up. Is he saying that the parents of potential pupils...

The amendment is very important because it places pressure on the Minister to spell out exactly what he believes social cohesion should mean, how schools can be best used and whether any concession will be made by the Government in this area. I hope that there is, and I expect...

Does my hon. Friend anticipate the criteria being changed from those that are currently applied to the raft of academies that is going through the process and the academies that he expects to go through shortly? Will the basic criteria be changed for future academies? He suggested that they would...

You will be pleased to know, Ms Primarolo, that I spent most of the weekend trying to pronounce your name without embarrassing myself or you. That is as near to pronouncing it correctly as I can get. I apologise for my rudeness to you last week when I could not...

I see that the hon. Gentleman is itching to intervene. At our age, I think I should allow him to do so, so that he need not struggle to rise too often.

In view of what the Minister has just said, is the hon. Gentleman not slightly mystified, as I am, why the Government cannot tell us the number of schools that have indicated since 30 June that they want to start this process? Surely the Department ought to be able to...

I agree. As I said in my intervention on my hon. Friend the Member for Southport, it is not just about the parents of children attending a school; it is about the wider community having a say. Academies were supposed to be at the very heart of the community, and...

Like the shadow Education Secretary, I think that this Bill is a threat to comprehensive education. But I thought that his Government's Bill on academies was also a threat to comprehensive education. What is the difference now?
