and it is time now for monday in parliament. hello and welcome to monday in parliament. on this programme, the health secretary sets out the government's latest plans to tackle coronavirus, but tory mps reckon parliament should be more involved in setting the rules. could he explain to the prime minister that we actually live in a democracy, not a dictatorship? we would like a debate. there's a call to make more use of the armed forces to tackle coronavirus. to help advance whitehall strategic thinking, operational planning, and delivering as well as clarity of the message. former prime minister theresa may says she won't support a bill that gives the government the power to break international law. and there are warnings about the extent of radicalisation injails. within the prison, sharia

courts, which metered out punishments including floggings inside the prison, known to the prison staff. but first, boris johnson is to make a statement to mps on tuesday announcing the government's latest plans to tackle coronavirus in england. the government's chief scientific adviser, sir patrick vallance, has warned that if cases of coronavirus continue to double every week in the uk, the number of new infections could grow to 50,000 a day by mid—october leading to a death rate of more than 200 a day a month later. the chief medical advisor, professor chris whitty, said that for the next six months, we would have to take the virus very seriously but that eventually science would "ride to the rescue". well, in the commons, the health secretary set out the latest measures, confirming help for those on low incomes who have to self—isolate. and i don't want anyone having to worry about their finances while they're doing the right thing. so, we will introduce

a new £500 isolation support payment for people on low incomes who can't work because they've tested positive or are asked to self—isolate by nhs test and trace. just as we're strengthening our support for those who self—isolate, we propose to strengthen the sanctions for those who do not. the vast majority of people who are asked to self—isolate to do. but these rules are so important that we must ensure that nobody breaks them. we are therefore proposing a new legal duty to self—isolate — again for people who test positive or who are asked to do so by nhs test and trace. this is backed by fines of up to £10,000 for repeat offences and serious breaches. he said testing would be prioritised and only those with symptoms or who had been told to do so should come forward. and he'd heard the concerns about the impact of increased local restrictions on childcare.

for many, informal childcare arrangements are a lifeline without which they couldn't do theirjobs. so today, i'm able to announce a new exemption for looking after children under the age of 1a or vulnerable adults where that is necessary for carrying purposes. this covers both formal and informal arrangements. it does not allow for play dates or parties, but it does mean that a consistent childcare relationship that is vital for somebody to get to work is allowed. labour said it would continue to work constructively with the government. but can i also say to him ever so politely of course that the tone of his remarks yesterday rather gave the impression he was blaming people for breaking the rules and allowing the virus to grow. but the reality is that people have done everything they were asked to do, they've missed birthday celebrations, they've missed weddings, missed funerals. they've sent their children back to school — quite rightly. they've gone back to work. they've done what they

were asked to do. in return, ministers were supposed to fix test, trace and isolate so we could, in the words of his own government adverts, "get back to the things we love." i agree utterly with the secretary of state that we need to take action now and that action is personal. every single person has responsibility to stick to the rules, to wear a face covering, to wash their hands, and to keep their distance. and i would remind members in this house, because i've been watching it from outside, that that is not always what is on show in this chamber. and we now have a responsibility to set an example. labour questions about testing continued. the worst story i heard was a constituent asked to travel 600 miles to aberdeen to get a test. why is that the case when their consulate or by ministers

that there is no problem. nobody has addressed the problems and the challenges that we have gotten the testing syste m that we have gotten the testing system more than me, and what we need to do is resolve those problems as we have resolved the problem of people being sent long distances. i'd love to know the example he cites because i am told that the problem in the system was fixed last week and if there is a more recent example and i want to know. earlier in the day, a senior conservative told the bbc that parliament must directly approve any new coronavirus restrictions before they come into force. sir graham brady said ministers had "got into the habit of ruling by decree", citing the "imposition" of the rule of six limit on social gatherings. and there were further rumblings in the chamber. the trouble with authoritarianism is that it is profoundly inimical to civil liberties and it is also increasingly competent. it

relies on acquiescence and acquiescence for lockdown, particularly national, is draining away. if you tell a student not to go to a pub, they will simply congregate in rooms, even worse. if the secretary of state doesn't listen to me will he at least listen to me will he at least listen to me will he at least listen to a professor of infectious diseases writing in the telegraph where he writes that it the telegraph where he writes thatitis the telegraph where he writes that it is profoundly disappointing that after six months of lockdown, having rejected every alternative proposal, we keep coming back to lockdown. and i'm trying to be should productive, he suggests that we rely on encouraging people to protect themselves, protect the vulnerable and take control of their own lives. this is a conservative i believe in as much freedom as possible consistent with not harming others, and one of the sad things about this virus is because of asymptomatic transmission, if you get ill and if you put yourself at risk

of catching coronavirus, you're not only putting yourself at risk, you are putting others at risk, you are putting others at risk as well. could i remind the secretary of state, i think you will be going into a cobra meeting tomorrow, could he explain to the prime minister that we actually live in a democracy, not a dictatorship and we would like a debate in this house. matt hancock told her there would be a debate on the measures ministers had to introduce but reminded her that the government did have to move very fast. the former prime minister theresa may says she won't support a bill that gives the government the power to break international law. the uk internal market bill is designed to enable goods and services to flow freely across england, scotland, this wales and northern ireland when the uk leaves the eu's single market and customs union on 1 january. the government's already made a concession to its backbenchers so that mps would get a vote before borisjohnson could use powers which change aspects of the withdrawal agreement, agreed with the eu last year. but theresa may and many

others weren't satisfied. the northern ireland minister began by setting out the government's main aim. above all, we must ensure that the delicate balance between communities in northern ireland is maintained and that the uk government pursues policy which maintain growth and stability in northern ireland. those have a lwa ys in northern ireland. those have always been and will be this government's priorities. but the former pm quickly jumped in. if the potential consequences of the withdrawal agreement we re of the withdrawal agreement were so of the withdrawal agreement were so bad, why did the government sign it? we have heard u nfortu nately government sign it? we have heard unfortunately some harmful interpretations suggested over the last few months. but there was more. the government is acting recklessly and irresponsibly with no thought to the long—term impact on the standing of the united kingdom in the world. this will lead to untold damage to the united kingdom's reputation. it puts the future of the united

kingdom at risk, and as a result with regret i have to tell the minister that i cannot support this bill. several conservatives were pleased by the government's concession to allow mps a vote. this it does enable some of those who otherwise would not been able to support these clauses to proceed, on the understanding that there is a specific parliamentary lock, good and bad faith on the counter pa rty‘s good and bad faith on the counter party's site must be proven to the house before these matters were actually brought into operation which all of us hoped would never be the case. under the changes made which the honourable gentleman pave the way for, ministers have to come to come to this house in advance, make the case and when notjust the argument but the support of this house, and that should reassure us this house, and that should reassure us all that these powers will only be used when absolutely necessary. other mps were looking for reassurance. cani can i ask them to confirm that what the government would do in those circumstances as explore to the fullest all the options available to it within the

withdrawal agreement before resorting to any breach of international law outside the withdrawal agreement. some of us withdrawal agreement. some of us have some misgivings about that undertaking because this government has shown an exceptional fondness for withdrawing the whip from those on its own party who disagree with it. in the circumstances of this parliamentary lock being necessary, can we get an assurance from the treasury bench that at some point any such vote will be a free vote. the opposition parties took up theresa may's point. it was negotiated by the prime minister, it was signed by the prime minister, it was commended to the electorate as the reason to vote for the conservative party in december post my but now apparently it is so flawed that we are being asked to break the law. that manifesto and their campaign boasted of the prime minister's up boasted of the prime minister's up ready deal. he was effusive

in his support of the deal calling it very good, excellent, fantastic, wonderful, but here we are and the prime minister has now changed his tune and far from the deal being up and ready it is now only fit for the cowp. this opinion was d this ivided among the northern ireland parties. the dup said without this bill and the process it set out, it would be difficult to resolves problems quickly. does he not recognise that the process itself could be so elongated, the economic damage done by the requirements of the eu could be very severe in northern ireland. but if we passed legislation that still contains even the merest threat of breaching the existing agreement, why would the eu be flexible and give us that trust given we have not shown the ability to follow through with other previous agreements. in all of the talk about consent, it might be useful for the house to know that the northern ireland assembly has just voted in favour of the withdrawal agreement, in favour of sticking to the agreement this british government have made

with the european union, and that includes the northern ireland protocol. they are the voice of northern ireland and they are saying very clearly that this bill is wrong. but support came from a former northern ireland secretary. i honestly think these clauses are unlikely ever to be used but what they can do is prevent the eu from being able to use article five provisions to exert leverage over the united kingdom this, to try to look into their regulatory orbit bound by their laws and they are caught. this detailed scrutiny of the bill will continue before before the bill moves to the lords. ministers have been urged by labour to boost deradicalisation measures to prevent prisons becoming "academies of terrorism". the warning from the former lord chancellor, lord falconer, came as peers debated new laws to keep terrorists behind bars for longer and reform the monitoring of suspects. the counter terrorism and sentencing bill includes a minimum 1li—year jail term

for the most dangerous terrorist offenders. it also lowers the standard of proof required to impose terrorism prevention and investigation measures — known as tpims. despite the ongoing and the determined efforts of our security services, the threat of terrorism sadly remains. indeed, it is ever evolving. this bill will strengthen not only the sentencing framework for terrorist offenders but also the tools that enable a public service is better to monitor and disrupt both convicted terrorists and those who are of terrorism concern. those who commit serious acts of terror must face sentences which match the severity of their crimes. the criminal justice key in the fight against terrorism but it can never be only response. whilst many of the recent terrorist atrocities have been associated with islamist extremism it is

important to recognise the remain threats from others and significantly, as the united nation's top anti—terrorism police officer confirmed, the fastest growing terrorism threat comes from far right organisations. he turned to what was not in the bill and deradicalisation. the failure properly to address theissue the failure properly to address the issue of de—radicalisation measures in bristol will haunt this country for generations as we this country for generations as we establish academies of terrorism. we must continue with these measures as much for the prisoners, often young and vulnerable, imprisoned for non—terrorist offences, who end up non—terrorist offences, who end up radicalised and dangerous as a result of a total lack of pushback from the authorities against the vile dominating hold of those much stronger characters who are imprisoned for terrorist offences, certain of the rightness of their work and able to seduce others into their ideologies. a conservative former

minister, making his first — or maiden — speech, stressed the importance of rehabilitation. this i am a passionate believer, it sometimes sounds frivolous or facetious, but a verbal believer in the power of arts, culture and sport and engaging young people, and noble lords have already referred to young, vulnerable, disengaged young men. we cannot necessarily forgive their crimes but we know that we can, if we engage these young people, as early as possible, perhaps turn them away. this a former this independent reviewer of terrorism legislation said that the man behind the terrorist attack at fishmongers hall last november, usman khan, was assessed by external experts as being reformed prior to his early release from prison. evidence however from the prison from which he was released, in my possession, and provided to the home office some months ago, shows this. first, almost none of the

day—to—day custodial staff who knew him, who dealt with him on a daily basis believed he was anything other than extremely dangerous at the time when he was released. they were proved to be right. also, unknown to the outside experts, and that present, radicalisation was rampant, not just in present, radicalisation was rampant, notjust in existence. for example, it included friday prayers where there was a division into two groups, one radical on the other non—radical, which a perfectly decent mum could not control, and within the prison sharia courts which meted out punishments including floggings, inside the prison, known to the prison staff. those are facts. a lib dem was concerned about the use of terrorism prevention and investigation measures, tpims.

they reinforce the sense of isolation of those who already have only a tenuous grip on reality. whether loners are settled any family, reporting extensive cu rfews, settled any family, reporting extensive curfews, controls on computers, all make it difficult or impossible to find work. visitors find security clea ra nce work. visitors find security clearance distance too great a hurdle, children of the family grew up with depression and an enduring sense of injustice, believe that school as gee agekids. lady hamwee. you're watching monday in parliament, with me, alicia mccarthy. the chair of the commons defence committee has implored the government to make more use of the armed forces to tackle the threat from coronavirus. the conservative, tobias ellwood, said covid—19 was the biggest threat facing the nation. we must learn lessons from the

first, and it is clear that the capacity of all governments including the uk are being tested by this enduring capacity. i have said this before, please can the secretary of state encourage greater use of our senior armed forces to help advance whitehall strategic thinking, operational planning and delivery, as well as clarity of the message. they are after all trained for crisis management and emergency planning. let's make full use of them. not only did we do a fantasticjob in my view in the first phase, our men and women of the armed forces, not only did we help sick and across government by office rs sick and across government by officers going on and helping people, not only did we strengthen the logistics supply chain of the hsr notes only did we chain of the hsr notes only did we provide mobile testing to make sure testing went where people wear rather than expecting them to get in cars, i think expecting them to get in cars, ithink our expecting them to get in cars, i think our response was in an excellent position. but because we we re excellent position. but because we were able to do that

response and because backed up by the defence intelligence we have already started planning for any second eventuality, whether the second wave, not a wave or an alternative challenge, winter pressures are flatter brexit, all of that is ongoing and i am confident the men and women will be able to deliver water demand is put on by government and they offer them to government on a regular basis and they know the prime minister is incredibly supportive of taking up that offer when they needs fit. a second wave of coronavirus could be accompanied by a second wave of covid—19 disinformation which have not dealt with could affect uptake of the vaccine, so could the government say what is being done to increase preparedness against this information on what the government is doing about online materials in the circumstances? the government takes this information incredibly seriously. that is to say it focuses on this information rather than misinformation, which is deliberately laid often by

hostile states. it is however a difficult subject to deal with. it isa difficult subject to deal with. it is a challenge and it is not easy for any, both local or national government, and i am sure scottish government did find a summer challenge. where we find a summer challenge. where we do find it to be disinformation we will of course use all measures we can to make sure that is disrupted or pointed out to the audience that something is this information. that is not the same andi information. that is not the same and i have to very clear, it is not for us to decide to ta ke it is not for us to decide to take a view on mainstream media's slant on government policy. that is the freedom of the press we enjoy and that we are there to protect. on sunday, a memorial service marking 80 years since the battle of britain was held at westminster abbey. the battle was a dramatic turning point in the second world war. this the abbey has held a service of thanksgiving to commemorate the event every year since 19114. but this year, social distancing radically reduced the numbers who could attend. the defence secretary, ben wallace.

the battle of britain commemoration yesterday inside westminster abbey saw just 79 people invited rather than 2200 as planned. remembrance day ceremonies in seven weeks' time are unthinkable with so many without so many of those who have served in their armed forces, so can the secretary of state say what special guidance he will give to make sure those ceremonies at cenotaphs across the country can go ahead safely and respectfully? of course some of the veterans community are the most elderly and vulnerable at present and we have to make sure that whatever we have to make sure that whatever we do we protect them and those services of remembrance. a blanket use of do not attempt resuscitation orders is "completely abhorrent", a health minister has said. tory frontbencher lord bethell condemned the practice after concerns were raised over their alleged imposition on some elderly care home residents during the coronavirus pandemic, without any consultation.

my my lords, the distinction between different patient groups has particularly affected ca re groups has particularly affected care home residents through the blanket use of do not resuscitate orders without explanation to patients and families. will the minister may clear his abhorrence of this practice and can he say how he will ensure that the recent winter guidance in relation to this for adult social care will be followed and phil? my lords, there are no blanket dnr notices. these are completely abhorrent, against the nhs constitution, and we are not supporting those at all. the noble lord is entirely right that family should be consulted before any such measures are put in place and the social ca re put in place and the social care plan as published earlier this month makes that absolutely clear. he will be

aware that there have been letters in the telegraph saying an age limit, an advisory age limit of 75 is being brought m, limit of 75 is being brought in, so can i ask him, is any age guidance given in any of the information sent out from his department? i can confirm very clearly that the reports of any sort of age limit of the kind referred to by my noble friend are completely wrong. government ministers got a ticking off in the commons over the way they'd announced changes to rail franchises, with the deputy speaker saying it was "regrettable" that such a major policy statement was made to the press before mps. the government has scrapped rail franchising and announced plans to extend support for train firms. after passenger numbers fell during lockdown, taxpayer money was used to plug the shortfall in ticket revenues. so far, the bill has run to more than 5.5 billion. now the emergency measures to cover the losses of train firms have been extended

by 18 months. they reduce the fees that can be earned by the companies but will mean that trains are still able to run, even with fewer passengers. a labour mp was irritated that no minister had come to the commons. in line with what seems to be common government in line with what seems to be common government practice, at no point, despite being requested on numerous occasions, has the transport secretary or any government minister come to this house to make a statement on any of these issues. instead preferring to make announcements remotely through media outlets. given that the government keep talking about parliamentary sovereignty but seem set on disrespecting this house, what influence could you bring to bear to stop such abuse of this house? and also what influence could you bring to bear to ensure the transport secretary comes to his house to

announce such major transformational changes to our transport network? i'd like to thank the honourable gentleman for notice of his point of order. i note there is a written statement from the secretary of state for transport en today's order paper. when it appears it may shed light on the secretary of state's policy. it is regrettable that such a major policy statement has been made to the press before it was made available to the house. the speaker has always been clear that such statements should be made to the house and that members should have the opportunity to question ministers on their policies. nigel evans with the telling off for transport ministers. and that's it from me for now, but do join me at the same time tomorrow, as boris johnson announces the latest details of the government's plans for dealing with coronavirus. but for now, from me, alicia mccarthy, goodbye.

hello there. temperatures have been well above the seasonal average recently. lots of sunshine around, but as we head through this week, all that summery weather is about to change to something a lot more autumnal as we reach the end of the week. now, through monday, we saw highs of 26—27 degrees across the south of the country, low 20s further north. but watch how we start to see the blue colours invade from the north and north—west, bringing that arctic air to our shores. that'll push temperatures below the seasonal average by the end of the week, struggling to get into double figures across the north of the uk. changes taking place early on tuesday across the north west of the country. low pressure active weather front bringing windier weather here, outbreaks of rain further south. tuesday will start generally dry with clear skies, a few mist and fog patches around, and most places will be relatively mild. but you'll notice more cloud across scotland and northern ireland to start tuesday. outbreaks of rain continue to affect the northern

and western isles in particular, some of it heavy here, and it'll be windier, too. as we head through the day, that rain will continue to push southeastwards into much of western scotland, into northern ireland. but again, england and wales, the last of the warm, sunny days with those highs of 25—26 degrees. perhaps an odd shower developing in the midlands as cloud begins to increase from the west as we head on into the evening. overnight, that rain band in the north and west continues to migrate southeastwards, lying through central areas by the end of the night. and that's where we'll mark the difference between much colder, chillier conditions across scotland and northern ireland by the end of tuesday night versus something a bit milder still ahead of that weather front for england and wales. but it will be cloudy here with outbreaks of rain. as we move into wednesday, that weather front will push its way eastwards, affecting much of england and wales with some rain at times. this brief ridge of high pressure will tend to settle things down across scotland and northern ireland, but it will be much chillier here. so, probably the best of the sunshine across the north and the west of the country bar the odd shower. england and wales, cloudier

skies, outbreaks of rain across eastern areas. some of this will be quite heavy at times, and it'll be turning windier around the coasts. those temperatures ranging from the low to high teens celsius, so already feeling noticeably different. towards the end of the week, though, you can see all areas will be much cooler with showers or longer spells of rain. it'll be chilly by day and also chilly at night, with a touch of frost in places.
