european union no later than 2019. the policy -- are excellent policy on closing the prison and opening modern ones is a spot on policy. would she support the reopening of the prison as part of this excellent program which this excellent program which you rather just sing happy for dave? >> am very happy to wish him a very happy for day-to-day. i hope they are going to treat the occasion and approach or a manner. [laughter] can i --

>> prime minister. >> on the issue you raise is about prison. he is the plug policy that prisons in building prisons. i can assure him that when there that when there was one of those sites being considered for secretary is making the announcement. >> jeremy corbin. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i join the prime minister in commemorating the disaster all those years ago when 118 children died along with many

adults at that time. many in that community are still living with that tragedy and the live at the tragedy rest of their days. i remembered her well as a young person growing up at that time and watching collections for the disaster fund. the bbc documentary was absolutely brilliant and poignant answers to remind us all about the disaster was about. mr. speaker, one in four of us full text or a mental health problem. analysis suggested 40% environmental health trust that their budgets cut last year. six trespassing budget cuts of three years in a row. if the prime minister really confident we are delivering. he per mental health. >> connect first of all say my honorable friend i'm not a nature i can remember the terrible scenes of what happened in the bit that didn't happen to

see an interestingly and what it seems the issue of those in power not being willing to step up to the plate initially but it happened, but obviously the result of the inquire was clear about our responsibilities laid. we are introducing parity at the mental health in our national health service. we've been waiting too long for this. we are actually investing more in mental health services. an estimated record 7.4 billion particularly the number of children fed to the highest number of children in relation to mental health problems. there is of course more for us to do a mental health but we have made an important start in the funding will be there.

>> jeremy corbin. >> mr. speaker, i have a letter from a family member of jesus that they chronic health condition. he said this. the nhs is so dramatic underfunded that too often it's left or the police forces to deal with consequences. indeed, the chief has this none threatened legal action against the nhs for his first hole people with mental conditions in sales because there aren't enough nhs beds. if the government is truly committed to parity, why is this trust in so many others facing an acute energy crisis at the present time? >> connect first of all say that i think we all in this house recognizes the difficulty people have when they are with mental health problems.

can i commend those in this house who have been prepared to stand up and refer to there are mental health problem. that's been a very important signal to people with mental health issues across the country. he raises the whole question of the interaction between the nhs and police forces. i'm proud to factor in our secretary worked with the department of health to bring a change to the way in which these forces with people in mental health crisis and we see better nhs support being given to people. the number of people having to be taken as a place of safety in some areas is overall enhanced and sun has come down by even more than that. this is a result of the action the government has taken. >> jeremy corbin. >> mr. speaker, the reality is

nobody with a mental health condition should ever be taken to a police cell. they should be supported in a proper way. i do commend those commissioners that i've managed to end the practice in their areas. but the reality is it's not just suffering cuts, nor mental health trust and health care for everyone at the last three years. i also grew at the prime minister that members of this house teaming up and openly discussing mental health issues is a very good day because we do need to end the stigma surrounding mental health conditions across the whole country. nhs trusts are in a financial crisis. according to providers, it seems to be the worst financial crisis. 80% of acute hospitals now in deficit. there was a time in 2010 when the nhs was in surplus. what happened? >> remind the right honorable gentleman to what has happened in relation to funding of the

nhs is precise at this. we are asking themselves to come up with the five-year plan. to say what extra funding was needed to deliver on that. they came up with the five-year plan that are the chief executive of the nhs. he said it was a billion pounds needed. we are giving 10 billion pounds. [shouting] i might remind the right honorable gentleman that the last election it wasn't the conservative party that was refuting to guarantee funding for the nhs. it was the labour party. >> mr. speaker cummings excuse the nhs has gone to the worst crisis in its history. 3 billion pounds is wasted on a top-down organization that nobody wanted them yesterday at the select committee, simon stephens made it very clear he doesn't believe nhs has enough

money to get through the crisis it's facing. can i offer an analysis of medicare quality commission which seem to have quite a good grasp of what's going on. they say the cuts that add up social care and '-backquote translating to increased actions and emergency attendances, emergency admissions and delays to people leaving hospital which in turn is affecting the ability of a growing number to meet their performance and financial targets. though the prime minister addressed the reckless and adult social care has been made by her predecessor? >> the right honorable gentleman chief executive at the time of the statement last november, he said our case has been heard and actively reported. the right honorable gentleman raises the whole question of social care and interaction between health and social care. over 5 billion pounds extra was

put into the better care fund precisely to deal with these issues. local authorities are able to raise that to 2% with social care costs they are facing. what is important is actually the health service and local authorities working together to ensure they are delivering the best possible service for people who require the social care. i saw a very good example of that on monday. i want to see mark samples across the national health service delivering the patients. we put the funding and his party would have done that with better care for patients. >> will want local government and the nhs to work closely together. the problem is local government funding has been cut paid 400,000 fewer people are receiving publicly funded social care as results of that. the nhs has been difficult to

coping with crisis, therefore there is unfortunately been locking work you patients cannot pay because there is no social care available for them somewhere down the line. the funding crisis in the nhs and local government. >> to publish figures by the trash of the total deficit is 2.45 billion but the chief executive says this may even be bigger. it is guided through a temporary bailout and next month -- they are billing the crisis. that is a good thing but why are they in a crisis the first place. next month, mr. speaker, sustainability and

transformation and many all over the country are quite alarmed by this. the threat to act with the emergency department. can it deal with this issue now by quite simply saying there'll be no downgrade of any department coming up next month. >> is said to the right honorable gentleman of the course of the parliament the government will be spending half a trillion pounds in the national health service. that is a record level of investment in our national health service. there is a key difference between the way he approaches this in a way that i approach it. we believe on the side of the house at the local level people should be able to make decisions about the national health service. decisions about the national health service should be led by clinicians. it should be a top-down approach typical of the labour party.

>> wow, mr. speaker. top down is what we've got and it cut 3 billion pounds that the reorganization that nobody wanted it all. >> mr. speaker, i started by asking about parity of esteem. all this government produces parity of failure. the social care. failing five times as many people waiting more than four hours and another venture crisis is looming. the society of acute medicine i believe has a bright when it says its funding crisis and local government funding crisis is leaving the nhs on its knees.

more patients being treated, more operations, more doctors, more nurses. that's what's happening in the nhs. luscious look at what his party's approach to the national health service is good for former shadow health secretary says it would be a response to to put my money into the national health service. a former leader of the labour party wanted to weapon as at every election, the labour party with this pen name after every election we increase nhs. [shouting] every election they will privatize the nhs and every election in government we have protect it the nhs.

it's only one party that has cut funding for the nhs for the labour party in wales. >> thank you, mr. speaker. is the prime minister aware that research shows infrastructure that area is prepared to capitalize on it with no associated possibilities and housing skills and job. within four current opportunities taken to preserve and reenergized essential national industries as we seek to capitalize. >> my honorable friend is a. we are right to invest in infrastructure that can make a real difference to local communities. this important local communities embrace those opportunities.

my honorable friend and son has been putting together ideas and i'm sure he will share those with you right honorable friend. >> i join the prime minister and the leader of the labour party. mr. speaker, dozens of innocent civilians have now been killed by saudi airstrikes in yemen. can the prime minister give us the assurance that these have not been killed by missiles, partially manufactured in scotland under license from her government to saudi arabia. >> my first they'll congratulate the right of gentleman and can i say to him in response to this question as a no-space have one of the toughest regimes in the world when these allegations arise from them we have been pressing, i oppressed in the

past my right honorable friend has pressed the saudi arabia government to properly investigate these issues and learned the lessons from them. >> i think the prime minister for your kind wishes. my question is he on doubt air forces bombed in yemen, flight plans made in britain by pilots that are trained and they're dropping missiles made in britain. i asked a direct question and she couldn't answer so i try for a second time. could she give this house an assurance civilians have not been killed by being dropped in yemen which are partially manufactured in scotland under license by a government if he doesn't answer to that question, how can she possibly in good conscience continue selling them? >> in response to the right honorable gentleman come in the points i made was a simple one which is a price for proper investigation into what has on

this instance before we reach a decision or conclusion on what happened in relation to this incident. we do have a very strong relationship and that's it for this country. it's important in terms of dealing with counterterrorism and other issues. what matters an incident packed and is that they are properly investigated. >> nigel add-ons. >> thank you, mr. speaker. a few weeks ago i thought it successfully bought four tickets online for one of my favorite pants, green day, only to be told that the tickets were unavailable in the gig sold out. within minutes i could ride the tickets on another site for twice the price. it turns out the ticket sites are a victim of a computerized attack by brise on the tickets at inflated prices. with the prime minister ask our ministers to get close consideration to my amendment to the digital economy act which should make a computerized harvesting of tickets for resale

and offense. similar legislation exists elsewhere and would go a long way to protect consumers. >> i think honorable friend is raising the issue. it's not the only member of the house who has had the experience and certainly not the only person people will know from the constituency. as part of the consumer rights act last year, a review of online ticket sales was one of the issues introduced. the professors produce an independent report on ticketing that produced a number of recommendations for industry itself to better protect itself for the government will be the recommendation very carefully to address the very issues you talked about. >> in september of the home secretary said she has no of her mission about serious leadership

failing but on monday she told the house she had known about serious problems since july. yesterday it emerged the officials would breathe as early as eight of this year. she said at the inquiry. she appointed to chair. she wants the individual responsible for the inquiry success. she was the only person who has the power to act. can she now finally tell us when she personally learns that the serious problems develop even this inquiry and why it was she no action at all. sometimes >> i recognize the honorable lady has taken a particular interest in this issue and i'm sure she will recognize as i hope other members of this house do what i set up the inquiry. for too long people who had been subject to -- for too long,

people subjected to child sexual abuse with voices unheard until derek and injustice. that's why it's very important that these inquiries able to continue and find that justice for them. i have to say to the honorable lady that one of the important aspects of this is over the years too many people have had concerns that people in positions of power have intervened just up and forgetting just is. there were stories around about the inquiry and about individuals related to the inquiry. the home secretary cannot intervene on the basis of suspicion, rumor. she refers to the statement made yesterday in this house. she referred to the statement made yesterday in this house about information being discussed with director general of the home office.

that was us to be confidential and as far as i'm aware treated as such. it's important for us to recognize that the home office was officially informed of issues, the home office acted. it's now for the inquiry to get on and delivered the big guns and survivors. >> having been born and growing up in south wells and former secretary of state, the heartfelt tribute to be paid by the front bench to the community and throughout this house. it was a tragedy that is absolutely unparalleled instance the world. so now can the prime minister step up to the plate and reconsider her commitment to wales and to ensuring her government works at the welsh government particularly after

leaving the e.u. to maintain the levels of investment that are so vital to the long-term social and economic development of the valley communities and the rest of wales. >> i say to my right honorable friend that i've well aware of the impact they've had on south wales and those local communities. they are absolutely tragic with all of those who were affected by them. i can get the commitment asking for government to wales and to working with the welsh government. unclear the government is going to deliver a country that works for everyone but if every part of the united kingdom and the wales bill will transfer historic transfer of powers. to allow the government to focus on transforming the welsh economy and of course the welsh government about how we're going to go forward in relation.

>> progress has been very slow. >> much obliged, mr. speaker. can there be a single vendor that has reasons to be grateful to those here is the the community and can there been a member is as amused as i am the government is proposing a 12% cut in the community pharmacy budget leading potentially to 3000 closures. will the prime minister today expressed support for community pharmacy and have another look at this divisive corrosive proposal. >> i think everybody in this house recognizes the role and contribution of community pharmacists in the country. it's also right we look at

spending nhs man in the government is looking carefully at this whole issue. if it supports community pharmacy is coming also have to have a word with his right honorable friend, the leader of the opposition. lock stock and barrel, and the pharmacists. >> their predecessors instead. as the prime minister agreed and symbolism. >> i think my honorable friend for raising this issue and is absolutely right. this meant this government will take a decision on the appropriate side of airport capacity in the southeast. this is a sub it debated, discussed imus speculated for 40 years.

there is a formal process that has to be understated so that governments will identify its preferred option with the consultation or the government will consider results of the consultation in the planning statement on which this house will vote. >> does the prime minister agree that any move to close fort george would not only be a military decision, but the highland. >> i recognize the strength put forward. no decisions and the ministry of defense is going to engage with all parties impacted by in a decision that is taken.

>> mr. speaker, my right honorable friend expressing a lack of to the broad plans for future negotiations in each of his house because of worries it might weaken her government's negotiating position. had she noticed that this week one or more brexit at members of the cabinet on every proposal being put forward by their colleagues on their colleagues who seem to disagree with them. will she take firm action to stop the process several she also agreed the proper approach is parliamentary scrutiny the broad strategy once they reach agreement on what it should be. >> prime minister. >> the government is very clear the vote on the 23rd of june with a vote to ensure they had control of movement of people

into the u.k. but also we want to see the best possible access for trading goods and services with an operating within the european market. that is what the government will be aiming for and we will be in vicious and not in parliament will have its say over the course of those two years in parliament will have a say in a whole variety of ways not least of course in relation to great repeal bill. >> thank you, mr. speaker. some of my constituents have tax credits suddenly stopped has been accused of being in a relationship with the previous tenant who they've never even met. in some cases they've been accused of being in a relationship with their own -- members of their own family and told to prove they are not. the situation is causing deep distress and hardship amongst working mothers in my constituency. is this what the prime minister means by being on the side of

working people and what she does to put it right. >> the right honorable lady raises an issue which is of concern. those who are being assessed are being assessed properly the department for work and pension is lucky not to whole process of what should be done and how the assessment should be taken -- undertaken. i hope that she would welcome the fact that those with long-term conditions are not going to improve and the investments they have under a labor government. >> the first nuclear science apprenticeship and the ministry of defense has just been launched is at the forefront of the government's apprenticeship or foreign policy.

the academic study with practical work experience. does the prime minister agree for their forge ahead to the future of this nation. >> i absolutely agree. can i commend to the steps they are taking working with business and ensuring courses are available is exactly what we want to see and we do want to see. >> the prime minister recently celebrated that is her choice. she is denying that they had many constituents every bit as hard. when will she do the right

thing? will it make the choices he has self-insured. >> the honorable lady knows i'm sure the rear transition arrangement by the government to ensure that period of time the change would be no more than 18 months compared to end it will be no more than 12 months. >> the fantastic news that i worry about the volatility with the consequence of brexit and the cost of living on the wages. there's many possible with the rate decision over tax credit. good both of the universal president to make sure she understands what they will do to

people. >> the importance of getting people into work in terms of an impediment to families that i'm very proud of the record over the last six years of getting more and more people into work so there are now hundreds of thousands of fewer households which have no work coming into the households. the credit is to be able to ensure the transition from benefits into work as a transition which means people do have a benefit which for some people were saying they're better off on benefit. that's what the system is there to encourage. >> i've been asking questions for 15 months now appealing to policy and great cause. this government still doesn't know what will work.

for one feminist to another, can you tell me the trauma guard as a result? >> prime minister. >> we've been very clear we'll have it or choose in relation to the benefit. we are considering this. we recognize can absolutely recognize the honorable lady is making a point about the concern about how this will be covered through the trauma of late. that's where the government has taken inside the dream consultant on this at the moment and looking how we can ensure that we do this in absolutely the right way. >> given the increasing relevance of the commonwealth in terms of prey, while the prime minister give her personal support to the first-ever meeting of commonwealth trade ministers in the u.k. next year and will shift from that when she goes during next month to

persuade prime minister modine to attend in the u.k. and 2080. >> i'm very happy to attend when it takes place here in the united kingdom. i can assure my right honorable friend we are looking at possibilities of trade deals in relation to commonwealth and i too applaud the first-ever meeting which is taking place in support if we look to forging global role in the world ensuring trading our way around the world. >> local clinicians are absolutely clear it will cost lives in a decision the government will have to make. will the prime minister please commit today to see what the effects of the decision with the. >> i say to the honorable

gentleman with his appointees raised its concerns. i say to him, the point of which were approaching this as the decisions are taken in generated from the local level. the local area will be looking at the services necessary to ensure that they're able to provide services needed and save services for people over the constituency. >> the tragic birder of one prison and the wounding of two others declining safety in our prisons. will the prime minister give justice will supporting commission in any media and a complete review of the operational command miniature rail capacity leadership in resourcing of the service which has failed to arrest the declining situation. >> a matter which is one of the first issues my right honorable

friend the justice secretary burch is the race with me about the question of violence in prison and safety in prison. that's the right honorable friend is across-the-board and has announced extra money and recognizes the importance of this issue. >> thank you, mr. speaker. just one in every thousand people as a child in a grade school. does the prime minister agree with me that this tiny, tiny number is from the evidence based on which to create a new national policy and wouldn't she be better looking at the real evidence base of how we reduce inequality in education. the map you want to see every child get in the education record them. going to have a shot to get on as far as their challenge will takes them and their hard work will take them. that is why we need to increase the number of good schools in this country. if you look at the gap in

attainment between those who are from disadvantaged backgrounds and does not in grammar school, it's virtually zero and not the same in other schools. i say to the honorable lady that i think is wrong to have a system in this country where we have a law that prevents the opening their expansion. that is what we are going to get rid of. >> administers and secretary of state trying to chant in -- reduce the amount of ivory trade throughout the world of endangered species to try to evade by example from this country. >> my honorable friend raised an important issue is something the government has been taken up and i can assure her not only has my right honorable friend or the representation that he himself

has promoted the issue the government will take up. >> the industry is witnessing an part of du exploits and e.u. action. the previous prime minister said he would make sure the industry's voice is heard and we would get in negotiations. what is this prime minister doing to ensure they maintain access to the e.u. and a level playing field in the face of protectionist and then. >> the honorable gentleman i'm very pleased to welcome him the industry that he refers to. his constituency of was the non-skinning history and tradition. what are we doing us to go through negotiations and the european union will be ensuring this country is the best possible to trade with them operate within the european

market. >> thank you pigmented constituents have contacted me to express concern about anti-semitism. i'm sure i remember this house can agree we will show zero tolerance. does the prime minister agree we must ensure that all parties do not allow a situation to arise where it appears that environment is created where anti-semitism is created. >> yes, i absolutely agree with my honorable friend at this how should send a very clear message that we will not tolerate anti-feminism. i have been concerned about the rice they seem in anti-semitism in this country and we should very clearly ensure that those incidences are properly investigated and dealt with and get the clear message we will not tolerate it. there does have to be every political party in this chamber. i asked the right honorable

gentleman, given the report of the select committee of this house about anti-semitism in the christian anti-semitism, he needs to think carefully about the environment being created. >> we are not just one month from the start of the new inquest into the birmingham bombings. the westminster police set aside 1 million-pound but today the bereaved families have no legal fun days. prime minister, this is a shameful state of affairs. please intervene and show the birmingham sam is the same compassion we've shown to the hillsboro families. >> the right honorable gentleman may be aware that the birmingham families have been encouraged and have applied for the exceptional fund that was at the time what happened after after the bombing which to place. the secretarha
