end of 2009. i hope that the prime minister will agree with me that government policy and more businesses working because they are the ones that provide the thousands of jobs and produces -- apprentices. >> my friend is absolutely right. the figures today are welcomed. a very large file -- fall. month.in the last an encouraging sign of employment growth. some of that is because the extra resources we put into apprenticeships, one million people starting apprenticeships and this problem at which we can be proud of. we will commit across the house. >> ed miliband. >> mr. speaker, the vast

majority of doctors and nurses perform to a very high standard day in and day out. everybody in the country will be concerned that some hospitals are letting people down. an excellent report found and i aote "for the examples of lack of nursing. what will the prime minister do? >> it is an excellent report and it is right. when you have a problem high mortality rates in some hospitals, it is right to hold an investigation only get to the truth, and take action. what measures we would take, first of all, we are putting 12.7 billion pounds into the nhs. and we have over the course of the year seen 900 extra nurses. that backs up the 800,000 extra .linical staff -

is there are 4000 fewer nurses and then when the prime minister came to power. one of the issues raised in the staff.was about nursing it was also reflected in a crib this report about benchmarks for the numbers of nursing staff. 4000 fewer are nurses, can the prime minister said it is helping or hindering these problems? >> he makes a link between the 11 hospitals and nursing numbers. he might be interest in the figures. eight of the 11 hospitals identified have a more nurses today that they had in 2010. for instance, if you take the mentionedhat was just , even though that is on the list of 11 hospitals among there are 100 extra nurses working there now than three years ago.

staff, comes to clinical 10 of the 11 hospitals have higher numbers of clinical staff. the only issue with references report, he did not support mandate nursing numbers. this, all well round hospitals while the right number of nurses and doctors. in the purposes of these are ports to sure hospitals are better run. these the purpose of reports are to ensure hospitals are better run. >> the number of nurses is falling. let me turn to one of the biggest health problems the country faces which is death from cancer. legislation on cigarette packaging. it's change is view after he hired a man who works for big tobacco. are we supposed to believe? have aoes not want to

conversation about the health services. he has not done his homework on the numbers. flame packaging of cigarettes area let me be clear about this. the decision not to go ahead for the time being is a decision made by me and the health secretary. if you do not agree, you can attacked me for making it. it is the same decision that in the last government made. i got here the letter that the former held of separate -- help of secretary state said why he was not ahead. he said this. he said in this. no state have shown that introducing plain packaging would cut the number of young people smoking. toneed convincing evidence go ahead. he has not have a clue. let me summarize. if the right honorable gentleman all me is that we are not doing

,omething he decided not to do i suggest a different line of questioning. >> once again the prime minister does not know his fax -- facts. my honorable friend set out quite clearly he was a favor a plain cigarette packaging. here is the difference. moved to thefriend opposition in 2010. he used to be in favor of playing cigarette packaging. he changed his mind. cigarette packaging. he changed his mind. not answer the question that he has not answered for weeks? has he ever had a conversation with crosby about

packaging? onhas never lobbied me anything. if he was a lobbying scandal, the trade union by his policy, by his candidate and his leadership. that is a scandal he should do something about. the whole of the country would have heard. >> he cannote -- deny he had a conversation with lincoln crosby about this issue. even by the standards of this prime minister, it is as disgraceful area -- as disgraceful. ownemorable -- his person described as a shame for the government. he is the prime minister for benson and he knows this. see there is a

devastating conflict of interest between having your key advisor raking it in for big tobacco and then advises you not to go ahead with plain packaging? day with this a government is doing something they never did for 13 years at that is publishing a lobbying the bill. that is why we need a lobbying the bill. we have former ministers who described himself for higher. we have cabinet members giving favors. wedding primers are questioned by the -- we had a previous prime minister questioned by the police. remarkable that on the -- fall inssive file unemployment, is this the reason? he said it next year i will

plummet will get worse not better. if it time to admit -- isn't it time to admit you were wrong? >> and the reality that he cannot admit it against the advice of every major public health organization. he has caved in to big tobacco. that is the reality about this prime minister. he knows it. he is a prime minister who does not think the rules apply to him. and now big tobacco. he always stands up for the wrong people. reason his leadership is in crisis because he cannot talk about the big issues. a are getting to the end of political session with the deficit is down, unemployment as falling, crime is down, welfare is cut. every day, this country is getting stronger and every day

he is getting weaker. [shouting] >> thank you, mr. speaker. i know though prime minister -- i know the premise of will like the staff.thank they are asking for help to do their job. a man is sitting nervously on death row. will the prime minister grant a reprieve? >> first of all, let me say the honorable lady has a noble campaign about the man.

what we are able to do is introduce -- >> under. -- order. the question has been asked, let's hear the answer. something and all of the binge drinking problems we had under labour. they never managed to do. >> in february, i asked the -- if they should pay a bad room tax. he promised to look into the case. they did not receive a reply. will he keep his word? >> i do reply, i replied to honorable members correspondence right across the house. i always will. in placeuld say, put

very fair rules where it does not affect pensioners are people need to have that spare room. worki write back, there is which i will not be able to answer. we still did not know if the party opposite is going to replace it. they will not give us an answer. >> thank you, mr. speaker. --ember would labor members this summer when labor members are -- [laughter] will of the prime minister and willme that his government the welfare law benefit as a human right? was my honorable friend makes a good point. last week, there was a rare piece of candor from the arctic. they have a wealth there were reports. as a welfare report.

concerned to hear the news about the honorable member being knocked unconscious at the protests taking place in your constituency. everybody wishes and well. we look forward to welcome him back to this house. on the issue, it is very imported it was the responsibility -- it is very we seent that responsibility. that these marches can go ahead. they must be good neighbors to each other. that is what is required in northern ireland. >> question for. -- four. 4500 nationals were removed from the uk and the removal rate has remained consistent. the number of foreign nationals in england is still far too high. while it is lower than the election, we can do more. the justice secretary is looking for transfer agreements with the

highest population of foreign offenders. the government will make it clear in the immigration bill that they will be deported except in exceptional circumstance. one man returned to jordan. let me congratulate you on your hard work. now that they have deported, something the previous government failed to do. will he do all he can since foreign nationals in prison in our country go back to prison and their own country and saving taxpayers millions of pounds as a result? >> i actually agree with my honorable friend about this issue. it requires real drive from the center of the government. withheld a council meeting debt we have held a council meeting. we have held a council meeting.

we must raise these issues with other countries where there are four national prisoners to be returned. we should not rule out any steps including helping countries like jamaica with their own prison regimes so it is easier to return people. it is a major priority. >> the prime minister claims that he did not know who crosby worked for with big tobacco. that he ishe heart at the heart of policy. -- he is at the heart. he turning a blind eye after hearing his advisor works for? >> the role of linda crosby is to advise me how to defeat a useless labour party. i'm not sure he is really necessary.

>> order. we must hear the question for mr. davis. constituency, patients have to wait for treatment. next door, english constituents went 18 weeks. what the lessons does the prime minister believed the government can learn? lesson which do not devote labor. you can see what is happening in wells -- wales. they cut the budget by eight percent. met an see they have not waiting time targets since 2009. meanwhile, in england we are increasing spending on nhs. is, the health

secretary is the man who said it would be irresponsible to increase spending on nhs. i have a tip. if you want to do better, you need to move the two people next to you and do it fast. >> order. mr. flynn should be heard with courtesy. >> will of the prime minister study the precise meaning of the word question and the precise meaning of the word answer the need for a link between the two? number of unanswered questions and a record number of preprepared, political jive. can he make it start by giving me an answer today to this question? that is prevalent.

>> that was complicated. he probably did not inc. of it himself. far more transparent than any of its predecessors about the information we publish. the data we give. far more transparent than the past government. >> unemployment continues to go down. does the prime minister agree with me that today's job numbers prove this government economic policy has not lived up to the disappearance of one million jobs which was made by the leader of the opposition? >> it is extraordinary on the day of his falling unemployment, the leader of the opposition had nothing to say about it. ofis not asked a full set questions about the economy since february. because he knows that our

policies are working. and yes, he is absolutely right. the forecast was made -- the forecast was made and we went not to make up for the left -- most public-sector jobs. not want to hear good news about falling unemployment. people want to know about more jobs and more businesses and our economy making progress. squeeze too much yelling "sides of the house. too much yelling on both sides of the house. --millionaire donors [inaudible] >> no doubt about that would. let me explain to the honorable lady an important distinction. let me explain. down.'s calm

higher -- as the taxes higher every year. let me explain this point. the way it works and her party is the trade union is labor money that funds the policy. advise the candidates. it even buys them the leader. >> thank you, mr. speaker. it will for cap for the last three months. falling twice the rate as the rest of the country. we think unemployment at the lowest level since early 2009. canada progress or ensure -- can the prime minister ensure where he leaves the nation will follow? >> people found work and just. be well for cap is not only right, but it is wrong for them to earn more money for people

who are working. the figures are sure how many people see a welfare cap, down the road are looking for work. good news for them and for our economy. >> thank you. provide a report on employment regulation if he had not been a major donor to the conservative party? >> the honorable member speaks as a member of unite a dead man who gets 6000 pounds. who gets 6000n pounds. it is an excellent report. it encourages jobs and wealth creation. let me explain one more time. there is a big difference. if you are a trade union and you give money to the labour party, you can take the candidate and vote for them. you can pick a leader and vote for him. you can pick the policy and vote for him.

i was elected by a one member, one vote system. he was elected by a trade union system. >> thank you. any government should be able to introduce a reasonable cap on high claims for taxpayer-funded benefits. together, why is the government resisted the introduction of a cap? sometimes individual cases over one million pounds of taxpayer- funded benefits to the very largest and wealthiest land owners in this country through the form support system? >> in this government has done a lot in terms of tax reform. have theurse we always policy to make sure it is fair. >> in order to save a little bit of time, i will ask a member of

united -- [laughter] engineerge of 16 as an , time can be used more productively. on the 26th of june come in response to a question for my -- [inaudible]d the prime minister said he would be happy to publish the goal. is there a reason that he has not done so because he is ashamed of the fact that his --ty >> order. >> we ought to remember the donors. he gave a 1.6 million to the

labour party. to dodge his taxes. deadwood we as when will you pay that money back, he needs to answer his own question. >> the prime mr. will agree with me -- mr. will agree with me. that given ther undertaking that people who are disrupted by the project would be compensated or via is he it has not yet rerun and it did not introduce it for two or three months? will he intervene and speed up the process before constituent'' lives are affected? >> she has rights to races. we'll be sending out consultation. we are committed.

-- she is absolutely right. we will make sure we get the decisions right. we will be happy to meet with her. >> ellen goodman. >> the prime minister has been helping companies with their exports. or half he can tell the house took -- to reason he pakistan because he donated 300,000 pounds? >> first of all, let us remember which government it was ma short jersey -- it was that made sure jersey made money. i will tell you, that is directly why i took him to kazakhstan. it employs tens of thousands of people in this country.

it is investing billions into the north sea. is a major british energy company. and the fact we fly the flag for british energy companies. when i finish taking them to cut that's done i will be taking them to india, china, malaysia. byy are not embarrassed this. we want more of them. >> during his friendly discussions with chancellor theel, have they examined european single currency which is a major course

of the spirit that is sweeping across southern europe and threatens the democracy of portugal, spain, and greece? i would like to say is what i meet with the chancellor, we discussed the single currency. it is important that what ever the personal views of the single currency and i never wanted britain to join it. we have to respect those kercher's and 1 -- those countries and want to make it work. there's an opportunity for britain to argue that the european union itself needs to change. we need to make this organization one and will be comfortable in. merkel chancellor understands that. i can the prime minister of italy understands that as well. it is achievable. it is one we can get looked
