[shouting] we are fully aware that the european union has strengthened workers rights in many ways. in march, while the prime minister was trying to undermine workers rights with this trade union bill, the european commission put forward proposals to close the loopholes in the posting of workers direct it, which would stop employers
7:06 am
exploiting foreign workers and undercutting national right to pay. for the prime minister can earn that his government will protect workers and will back these reforms to stop this undercutting and protest exploitation of the workers across this continent? >> first of all, during the honorable gentleman in wishing a happy birthday. many in this house bill growth within his or her the natural world and the environment in his remarkable man. i am proud to say the raw survey ship in the arctic ship is going to be named after david. there is strong favor. i think the life raft on the boat -- the submarine on the boat is going to be quite rightly on the posted workers
7:07 am
rights, we're looking at this closely, working with partners. i can tell him today that the yellow card procedure has been invoked by national parliament over this, demonstrating the importance of the social safeguards come even more which i achieved in every negotiation. the best thing we can do is celebrate the national living wage. [shouting] >> mr. speaker, national minimum wage but the labor introduction. the living wage proposed is frankly a corruption of the very idea of it. it is not in reality about the living wage. mr. speaker, my question was about the posting of workers directive, which would prevent the grotesque exploitation by unscrupulous employers of workers being moved from one nation to another in order to undercut the wages of the second nation.
7:08 am
for the prime minister be absolutely clear? what the british government support this very, very important reform to stop the exploitation? >> as i said, we think this marriage and proposals, but we want to make sure we get the details right. let me put them up on something. he's just described a national living wage is a corruption. seven pounds 20 an hour. a 20-pound a week pay rise for the poorest people in our country. i really think before you get up and say he supports a national living wage and thank the government for introducing it. >> i support the wage obviously. the point i'm making is it's not a living wage. at this generally understood.
7:09 am
>> mr. speaker, saying yes must be one of the hardest words for the prime minister prefer third time, could he say whether he does or does not support the worker direct it? he might be aware that patrick mitford, a former economic adviser to margaret thatcher said the european union has a negative effect on the city of london and he would want the shackles of european regulation removed. does the prime minister believed that membership hurts the city of london or does he believe that european union regulation of the finance that are in britain and british minister attacks they then let help expose the panama papers or underlined by my friend in his earlier question today. >> this is an area where we basically agree with each other about the european union. i'll try to identify a question.
7:10 am
first of all, i completely disagree with the economist patrick mitford. you mitford. he wants at the manufacturing industry of glitter rated kind of would be a disastrous step if we followed the advice that he gives. in terms of the city of london, we need the right regulation for the city of london to continue its massive rate of job creation and our country, boylston need to remain members of the single market that is absolutely vital for this important sector of our economy. i hope i'm not as the issue of the national minimum wage we can find agreements between each other. >> the question i was than perhaps was mean to -- perhaps he wasn't listening to it was what he was trying to do -- what i asked was what he going to do about the u.k. administered tax
7:11 am
haven, which received large sums of money from dodgy sources which show that must be closed down as should any tax evasion in the city of london. we need a british government is prepared to take down this level of corruption. >> this government has done more than any previous government to deal with the issue of making sure that her overseas territories are not tax havens that behave in a responsible way. as i said earlier they are taking part in the automatic exchange of tax information. to sign up to it, and reporting standard. that didn't happen before. they are getting central registry so we can find out who wants the companies in each territory. all of these things are real progress. of course you would like to go further in how public registries of beneficial ownership like we are introducing in this country.
7:12 am
not because of anything labour government did a decision by conservative prime minister. but where i would urge him to be fair and its territories since many have now gone much further even than many developed countries. indeed you get more information now silver crown dependencies than you would get out of the united states in terms of dinnerware. let's be fair on names for which we have an obligation in response ability of making them improve the record initiative knowledge that. >> mr. speaker, a month ago the prime minister informed the house that he welcomed the european union proposals on country by country tracks transparency report. we also agreed to die. get on the 26th of april, conservative mvps voted against these proposals. did they not receive the memo or what? people expect treated this
7:13 am
country -- people expect people pay their taxes in this country. tomorrow the european parliament will be focusing again on country by country reporting. can he assure the house the conservative member of the european parliament will support these measures as they would months ago. >> the most important thing is we support these measures. indeed these measures how boldly come forward because of been a conservative government here in the united kingdom proposing them. the only area of disagreement i would suspect between himself and myself inside out vanquishes setting minimum tax rate for these countries. that's always been a position of labor government and conservative government. what we want to make sure all these territories behave, we don't actually make them setting minimum tax rate to back the difference between us. he wants to swap voting records,
7:14 am
this is the whole session because they've got plenty of material here. >> mr. speaker, that was a very long and there. tree until when he could've quite simply said -- mr. speaker, he could've quite simply said whether or not he supports these proposals and if his conservatives are going to vote for them. >> mr. speaker, the prime minister is very well aware of the concern across the whole country about the question of any company child refugees across europe. they are in the are in the desperate plight, a very dangerous situation. everyone reaches out to them. but we have to do more than that to be practical in a help for them. i got elected the got elected
