I too welcome the new clause, because we need to clarify social tariffs on water use. Indeed, we have a social tariff structure on energy use. My hon. Friend will agree that a lot of work has been done on this subject through reports that he has commissioned and by...

It may well; I accept that point. That is why I greatly welcomed what the Minister said about the obligation on all Government Departments to have carbon reduction plans in place by next April. It would be nice if that could be brought forward and if we could have an...

I agree with most of those points. It is quite likely that the first 10 per cent. reductions are achievable in many cases, but I return to the point that I do not know. I very much hope that the NHS signs up—it can do so, if it chooses, which...

I am very pleased to follow the right hon. Member for Gordon (Malcolm Bruce). I know the amount of work that he has put in, through GLOBE and other forums, and I agree with a great deal—although not all—of what he said. I welcome this opportunity to discuss not only...

If the Government were to sign up to a target that they were not sure they could deliver, I suspect that the Opposition parties would not simply say, "Well, it was a bold move, and you did your best. We understand." That is not to say that targets do not...

I am grateful for the opportunity to have an Adjournment debate to raise my deep concerns about the effect of proposed cuts on Humberside probation trust, the severe threat to front-line jobs of compulsory redundancies, the threat to the effectiveness of a highly rated and successful probation service, and the...

I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend. He has a long and distinguished connection with Humberside police as a former chairman, as well as connections with Humberside probation service, which adds weight to his comments on this issue. It is essential that we have an efficient service, but I agree...

I agree with my hon. Friend. I, too, have been in touch with Alan Cotterill, who has made a compelling case on behalf of his members about the problems faced by the service. The speed of the cuts is a concern. It is not just the formula that is an...

It is only fair to put on record my appreciation and thanks. It is excellent news that there will not be compulsory redundancies. I was fascinated to hear the details of the budget, which throws a different light on some matters. Will my right hon. Friend assure me that the...

Adjournment debate on the Humberside Probation Service.
Adjournment debate on the Humberside Probation Service.
I certainly agree that we can see the success of the probation service in terms of the reduction in reoffending rates and overall reductions in crime. None of our constituents wants an increase in crime, and the probation service is an important part of that. The Government have recognised that...

That this House notes the growing support for the campaign for lighter evenings; recognises that by moving to a system of Single and Double Summer Time the UK would have lighter evenings, providing considerable environmental, road safety, health and leisure advantages which would outweigh the disadvantages of darker mornings; further notes that the campaign has the support of organisations such as the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions, the Child Accident Prevention Trust and the AA; and calls on the Government to introduce a three year trial period in order to make better use of the hours of daylight.

That this House welcomes the 11th Annual National Childcare Week, organised by Daycare Trust with the support of Children's Mutual and Catalyst Lend Lease; notes that the theme of the week is Building Brighter Futures; and agrees that quality, affordable childcare can build brighter futures for everyone, giving children a good start in life, enabling parents to work or train, and in the long term can help to tackle social exclusion, create jobs and raise educational standards.

That this House notes that the last Sunday of March heralds the beginning of BST and daylight saving; notes that the period of winter time when clocks are moved to GMT is dramatically asymmetrical either side of midwinter, with daylight saving ending last autumn 53 days before midwinter, but that the clocks do not go forward this spring until 101 days after midwinter; and therefore calls for efforts to be made to achieve symmetry of length of daylight either side of midwinter when the clocks change and to investigate the possibility of reducing the period of clock winter from an aggregate of 154 days to a shorter period of perhaps 80 to 100 days which could be symmetrical either side of midwinter's day.

That this House recognises the need to improve domestic energy efficiency in order to tackle climate change and reduce fuel poverty; welcomes the introduction of carbon reduction targets for new homes; however notes that in line with the Code for Sustainable Homes all new homes built using Government grant are required to reduce carbon emissions by 25 per cent. from April 2008, 44 per cent. from 2012 and to become zero carbon from 2015, whilst private developers will have until 2010, 2013 and 2016 respectively to meet the same targets; is concerned that if three-quarters of the housing market is allowed to lag behind in this way green technologies will not sufficiently benefit from economies of scale and prices will remain unnecessarily high, deterring product take up and imposing higher building costs on the affordable housing sector; and therefore supports the National Housing Federation's campaign asking the Government to commit private developers to the same environmental standards and timetable as housing associations as soon as possible.

I respect the hon. Gentleman's knowledge of agriculture, but he knows that a strong body of opinion in the farming community supported the system DEFRA put in place. How would he justify, for example, putting people who had always grown vegetables and crops that were unsupported, who never had subsidies,...
