point -- the -- >> order, order. let's have a bit of an order. i want to get to the bottom of the order paper and the house needs to help in that process. mr. prime minister. >> the money for sure start is there so centers don't have to close. and i think -- and i think when the party opposite considers his performance it could be time for a bit of brother, where art thou? >> mr. speaker, very recently eight members from both of these houses met in islamabad. this morning we learned that mr. barty on his way to work was murdered. mr. barty was a man committed to face and reck conciliation. will the government send his

condolences to his family and will he state in our belief at that there is no case in this kind of action in a democratic world. >> i think my right honorable friend speaks for the whole house and i'm sure the whole country. it was absolutely shocking news to hear this morning about this minister who's a christian minister in pakistan being killed in this way absolutely brutal and unacceptable and i think it shows what a huge problem we have in our world with intollence and what i said is absolutely right. and he said not only our condolences and that it is simply unshe been >> thank you, speaker -- mr. speaker. >> i asked them to check and their response says and i quote this is a misleading interpretation of the statistics. they pointed out that the dwp

website warnings directly against interpreting the figures in the way the prime minister did interpret them. in future, can he get someone to check his figures before he gives them to the house? >> i can ensure the honorable gentleman that the figures were properly checked and i will write him a letter outlining not only the figures for the flexible new deal that so many people know was just a revolving door for young people who needed employment but i'd also add in the figures for the future jobs fund which cost 5 times as much as many other programs. >> john glenn. >> thank you, mr. speaker. with the police using 2,000 different i.t. systems employing 5,000 staff, isn't now the time for this government to stop performing practices in the police so that more resources can be devoted to fighting crime on the front line? >> i think my honorable friend makes an extremely important

point. the british police are incredibly brave, incredibly professional and all of us see how hard they bork in our communities but, frankly, they are let down by a system that has far too many offices in back-office roles, in h.r. in i.t. and not on the streets. that's what needs to change. along with some of the working practices that, frankly, aren't actually modern and up-to-date and we need to make sure that happens so we keep the maximum number of police on the front line in our communities. >> gregly campbell. >> thank you, mr. speaker, the armed support. they would have looked to the conservative government whether in good economic times or bad to defend themselves as they defend us. given the deplorable treatment that they are currently receiving, whether by email or hard copy, what plans does he have to restore fear in government? >> approximate what i would say to the honorable gentleman -- i think everyone in the house appreciates it that our armed forces are the most brave and

professional anywhere in the world and we can be incredibly proud of what they do. and in terms of making sure that we do look after them, this government has introduced a doubling of the operational allowances for all those serving in afghanistan. we're the first government in history to introduce a pupil premium so the children of service personnel get extra money when they go to school. we're making sure that their r & r leave is properly formed. with writing out the military covenant and properly references it in law. and above all, most importantly of all have a defense review and make sure our forces are fit for the future and to all those who express concern i would make this point. at the end of that defense review we will have the fourth largest military budget in the world. we'll have the some of the most capable weapons in the bhorld we'll have the destroyers. we'll have our nuclear deterrent and we'll have a superbly professional army. that is what we want in our country and that is what this government will support.

>> thank you, mr. speaker. will the prime minister join me in encourage in schools in my constituency and schools around the country to get involved in the tenor tycoon private enterprise that will be this month. >> it sounds like it's an excellent scheme and we should encourage business and enterprise to go into our schools to encourage young people to think about a career in starting up business and small business and in enterprise. i think it's a very important part of a rounded education. >> thank you, mr. speaker. on sunday, a woman asked me what politicians were going to do for people like her. she'd been waiting for a dla appeal for 11 months. given the rollout of the employment support allowance, the proposals for more reviews, more assessments in dle, what plans does the prime minister have for expanding a tribunal of service and has this been fully accosted in its welfare reforms. >> it will have a lot of

opportunity to debate the bill which is a complex and detailed pieces of legislation approximate reforming a welfare system. in terms of dle specifically what we're looking for in terms of the feat way is to make sure people have a proper assessment for dla because there are too many cases where people need it and don't get it and we're there are going to be some cases where people don't need it and do get it and we do need to get right. >> while we must clearly do everything we can to help the non-libyans who are seeking tots out of the country will the libyans will be allowed to determine the fate of colonel gadhafi? >> well, i very much hope that they do and i think we should support and say how much we admire those brave people who are standing up in their own country asking for greater freedoms, greater democracy for

things that we for granted in our own country. and what i think has been striking is to many who said any sort of rebellion like this would either be extremist or islamist or tribal. it is none of those things. it's a revolt by the people who actually want to have greater democracy in their country. >> graham morris. thank you, mr. speaker, last week save the children published research showing 1.6 million children are living in severe poverty in the united kingdom and yet this week the government has failed to include low-incomed families in the warm home discount scheme for rebates on their energy bills. will the prime minister meet with save the children on this critical issue and ask the chancellor to publish an emergency plan to tackle severe child poverty in the budget and the child poverty strategy later this month? >> i do see save the children regularly and i think they are an excellent organization both in terms of the work they do overseas but also the pressure they rightly keep to bear here in this country.

what we've done in trying to help with child poverty that we massively increase the child tax credit which we have done in the budget and spending round. while we're making difficult
