a situation where the home secretary has been left dangerously exposed criticism over the way due diligence was carried out. this is not something ministers should do. you are responsible as head of the home office. why was that not carried out? >> i think there was divisions carried out. i have not really appreciated the threshold that we were setting was different for this inquiry. let me talk briefly. this is done rather like security. professional associations

with anyone who might be the subject of the work of the panel and so on. a widespread search but we rely upon individuals themselves to identify social or personal connections that might either be real or perceived conflict of interest. >> you are saying it was not your fault. >> yes, i do. i would like to now basically apologize for the fact that this was not carried out in the way that it should have been. when last i was before you we talked about the first inquiry moving promptly. inevitably this has caused a delay. >> how difficult do you think it we will be to find a chairman to share this power?

the campaign had been hard forced in the final week suggesting things were going to be close. in persuading cylinders in the union of pledge was made during the campaign by the former labor prime minister gordon brown and quickly dubbed the valve. the morning after the referendum david cameron said alongside that he wanted to look at the powers of the rest of the u.k. and stop scottish mps from voting on english matters. that upset later who accuse mr. cameron of moving the

goalposts. opening up comments debate william pate argued there's a call for change. >> make no mistake the need and demand for renewal is palpable in serious across the united kingdom we must find that better and fairer settlement and i believe thither or delay is not an option on these issues. >> but the debate quickly turn to what is known as the ability of scots mps at westminster to vote on laws affecting england when english mps can vote on similar issues. >> our constituents feel that too many decisions are london centered and they want more power closer to them. is it a problem with the english laws that it changes the job description of members in this house but doesn't actually take take. >> i would say these issues are not mutually exclusive.

it is entirely possible to believe there should be virtual autonomy at the local level including for her constituents in mind that if she is talking as she did at the beginning about what people feel about this i think she will have to acknowledge that they also feel that whether it be in yorkshire or county durham scottish members should no longer be voting on those matters that are being evolved to scotland. >> the debate featured the former labor prime minister gordon brown. he made what became known as the vow, timetable for powers to beat the ball. he rejected english votes for english laws. >> we cannot have one united kingdom if you have two separate classes. and you can't have representatives elected by the people who are half in and half out of the lawmaking process. let us remember the words in the new testament quoted by lincoln. a house divided cannot stand and a house divided is brought into

desolation. >> wouldn't he agree with me that my constituents want to know why it is that he should be able to vote in this place about education in edgeworth when i have absolutely no say on these matters in his constituency? >> just because we lost the referendum now does not mean i've stopped believing. just because we didn't secure this referendum doesn't mean that i stopped believing in the people who are best placed to run a fantastic country and the people that live and work here. we engage yourself to the faithful powers and it's not that we will make sure we get the maximum devolution that the scottish people know. >> the only sensible way to move forward is to involve all of the the -- and not exclude scots or any other representatives from voting at westminster on issues.

>> gordon brown making one of his final appearances in the comments. he later announced he was to stamp stampede -- stand down as an mp in may. what does it mean for the rest of the u.k.? here on the committee mps were told that the referendum had woken the sleeping giant of england and more devolution from westminster to the rest of the nations must follow. giving evidence to the political and constitutional reform committee local government leaders set the debate should be about more powerful local councils and not just english votes for english laws. >> but scottish referendum has awoken a sleeping giant and i don't think we are going to go back to complacency that has been in england before. >> we think the government and other political parties need to recognize what is becoming a perceived wisdom which is

apparently after albania only. where centralized democracy in the world. >> so what sort of devolution were they looking for? >> the emergence of combined authorities essentially combinations of local authorities around travel to work areas and their economic markets is the odel th i be doted. >> meanwhile pla for me devolution to scla continued t sed thsmith mmsion set up to lookt e sue giving sweeping new pows d kbe swpi new pers including me welre measures. it omndations ive partieths&p b or liberal democrats inte scottish greens. a w days atthe architect of those pposals lord's th kalpen appeed bo mps in westminster. liral democrat member o the

put forward by the u.k. government have proposal. labor decided didn't want to be part of the process so you have at least five proposals regarding english laws and you are right within parties there is disagreement about how that can happen. you get the impression that after the general election next year when the new government comes and it may not's solved this constitutional reform as those parties. >> david porter in as much as the relationship between england and scotland that has taken on a new look in recent months. a new color has found its way onto the political map with the rise of the u.k. independence party focusing on our relationship with europe. in october a little bit of history was made in the comments on the party's first elected an mp to see.

>> i swear by almighty god that i will be faithful to the leader queen of elizabeth according to the law so help me god. >> he was a conservative before defecting in august. he was reelected under his new colors for 60% of the vote. and then there were two just over a month later and only hours after his election victory the second elected mp took a seat in the commons. he had jumped ship from the tories forcing a by election in rochester. u.k. passed successfully tap into many voters concerns about levels of immigration into the u.k. and the government had to admit it's not going to hit its target of getting the numbers down into the tens of thousands. but david cameron's talk of trying to change the rules to limit the free movement of people within the e.u. has been given short shrift by the german

chancellor angola merkel. the prime minister questions the labor leader ed miliband holding on david cameron's difficulties. >> the renegotiation with the european union's got to get 27 countries to agree them. how many has he got so far? >> what we have is a set of things that we want to sort out in europe. we want to sort out safeguards for the single market. we want to get out of the union, we want reform and and of immigration. >> used to say he would never be for leaving the european union. european union. that was his position two years ago. all i'm asking, i want to stay in the european union and he can't even answer the question. dallas has positioned them. he is the same words as he used them that he would never campaign to lead the european union. yes or no? >> i answer that question the last time around. what is interesting, i want britain to stay in a reformed

european union that we need to reform. we have a plan. he has no plan. we say it's time to get out of the union pier what do they say? nothing. we say you have to safeguard the single market. what did they say? nothing. we say enough to reform immigration. what do they say? nothing. absolutely feeble and that's why mr. speaker that's why mr. speaker he faces a crisis in his leadership. >> it's not just people coming to the u.k. through legitimate routes causing concern. it's estimated 2.5000 migrants have gathered desperately looking for a way to smuggle themselves into the u.k.. the british government has spent 12 million pounds boosting security at border crossings in the town that the french want more done and the mayor says britain's generous system is to blame for schools attempting to cross the channel. >> you think that there is a perception that england is a

soft touch for those who want to come there? [speaking in native tongue] >> you have a much more favor over shame in britain than other european countries. it's a language question. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: the second thing as the weekly benefits of 36 pounds that are given to asylum-seekers and migrants. which is a huge amount for people to -- who have nothing in their lives. >> we have come to the house of lords where the government found itself doing doing battle with a second chamber. the big row was over plans for secured colleges for young criminals in england and wales. the first secured college would

house hundreds of young offenders doubling the amount of time they have spent in education. but pierce was scathing about the plans. >> my lord yet again parliament is being asked by the secretary of state for justice to rubberstamp a rushed and unthought through discrete proposal. on the one hand we have the secretary of state with no experience of the management of the offenders claiming that to improve the dreadful track record of this current system on which i reported adversely many times as chief inspector of prisons. by providing young offenders with better opportunities particularly in education at less cost because of economies of scale on a large site which is a young offender institution by another name. on the other we have experienced experts saying that his proposals are bad for children, bad for justice and bad for the taxpayer.

both cannot be right. >> 60% have significant speech language and learning difficulties. 20 to 30% are learning disabled and up to 50% have learning difficulties. and putting it simply simply about one in four have an iq estimated to be below 70. so i would ask the minister to tell us where the evidence is that these young people with severe preemie -- previous trauma brain injury learning difficulties and so on that a short education program taking them away from their own environments is actually going to be effective. >> i found the visit to the young offenders institution in my constituency among the most troubling ones i have ever had. and because you met the young man who had never had a chance of any kind whatsoever in our lives and you recognize they

could so easily have been your own sons. and you recognize too how much your own children were privileged not through money or any of the things which are foolishly trotted out by the egalitarians but just the fact that they were loved. now that leads me to be very worried about any measures which are hurried because i think this is very difficult. i just think it's very hard to get these things right. >> at present we are only committed to establish 11 secure college in worst assure. this facility will be a pathfinder intended to demonstrate the success of this new approach to educating and

rehabilitating young offenders. i entirely agree the first secure college must be rigorously evaluated and let me reassure local lords but that is exactly what the government intends. >> but pierce rejected those arguments and voted down the idea of secured colleges. they also rejected another part of the criminal justice and court still, the plan to shake up judicial review. under the system ordinary citizens can challenge the decisions of ministers local government and public bodies. the government wants to streamline the process but pierce object -- objected to that as well. when they sent the bill back to the upper house peers rejected the idea once again inflicting the lord's 100th defeat on the government since the 2010 general election. it wasn't just the lords who were making life difficult. the government suffered its first legislative defeat of this

parliament in the comments in mid-november. this rebellion in the ranks of proposal about pubs. an mp wanted landlords to be able to have their rights independently reviewed and to be able to buy their beer on the open market not just from the brewery that owns that pub. a labour mp summed up the arguments. >> if protocols are stopped from exploiting their time and hiking of branson charging 70% more for the cost of a pint in my view madam deputy speaker the price of the pine can only fall. >> so immigration, the rise of the u.k. at the state of the economy and the terrorist threat threat. is it any wonder perhaps the goals can't -- polls can't point to a clear winner in may. a report -- reporter spoke to john curtis from straddling university and asked him if this really was going to be the most unpredictable election ever. >> i think there is no doubt we

are now in uncharted territory in with the battle for power at westminster now looks like. this parliament have the most substantial independent challenge in english politics since 1945 and it doesn't look as though that challenge in the form of u.k. is disappearing anytime soon. meanwhile north of the border we are seeing the scottish national party in the wake of the referendum and people look as though they might vote for the snp and 2015 as they were four years ago they gave them a majority in the scottish parliament. the greens are apparently also playing a nontrivial role and meanwhile of course the two pics suppose it parties conservative and labour are struggling to keep above the 30% mark. they are at the moment close to each other. they believe the labor has enjoyed most of this permit -- parliament which means given the

quite serious possibility a lot of s&p mps and an unknown number of u.k. mps that is looking increasingly difficult for any of the parties to get an overall majority. >> on that point how hard will it be for labor or the conservatives to form a majority government? >> as far as the it's going to be difficult simply because we have a system which hasn't been changed since 2010. we are the new in 2010 but it's much more difficult for the conservatives to get the majority in the labor so for the conservatives the system is a problem. the second problem they face of courses where they lost most of their votes. one is to you can one of the things we know about u.k. supporters the british economy may be growing relatively fast but u.k. supporters look remarkably economically pessimistic. so the conservatives challenge

is persuading the people whom they have lost. at the moment it's not clear that they are convinced convinced. as far as labor is concerned that problem lies in the economy but a much more deep-seated one which is during the course of this parliament they have failed to convince people that they now know how to run economy more effectively. they have not managed to overcome the suggestion that they were responsible for the financial crash and against that backdrop one sees support for the party over the course of last 12 months leaving the party now looking as though it will indeed despite the advantage it has capable of getting an overall majority. >> the coalition parties are they trying to separate themselves now and how are they doing it? >> both political parties and said the coalition are keen to emphasize their differences. the conservatives at the end of the day are key to govern britain on their own.

many mps regard coalition with liberal democrats as having a ball and chain around their legs which they frankly do not want. the democrats are in a desperate situation. their pole position has been weak ever since the tuition fees were first in the autumn of 2010. it's got even worse during the course of 2015 -- 2014. it is worth waiting for us. yes we have made mistakes but if you want something that's in between two harsh policies interview from the conservatives you have to back us. the trouble is the liberal democrats are not known historically for their strength on the economy and this could be quite different -- difficult position to sell. >> john curtis bringing us to the end of this edition of the program. join us on the 11:00 when the parliaments in the lord's return on the fifth of january. unl then for me -- from me, aliaccarthy, goodbye.
