with russia. this runs 40 minutes.

>> about the house practices accusing members of lobbying or deliberately leaving the house . i recognize there are frustrations and firstly, let me say that there are means by which accusations may be brought before the house including by means of the motion. the party did so on their opposition today in november. however, members may not accuse unless the motion is under consideration. it's clear it is to preserve the character of parliamentary debates, which i take to mean to stop the accusations. may i also say when used with

respect to the members that regard with particular seriousness and often the requirement of the member to withdraw the words to include charges. it is important to stress the context that might attract to a different response depending on the subject being debated and public considerations but in general the chair while not tolerate accusations of lying or deliberately misleading the house. that is the long-standing practice of the house and i will set out and follow the speakers and deputy speakers of course long-standing practices may change for example if the house decided it wanted a different approach perhaps by the committee inquiry but it's not

for me to change the practice unilaterally. therefore, i asked members to respect this approach but within the rules in the position to withdraw on the suspension. before we come to the questions i would like to point out the language interpretation proceedings is available the first to celebrate a platinum jubilee and will be aimed day of

mixed emotions and of course also marked 70 years since the death of her beloved father. i know that the whole house will want to join me in thanking her majesty for her tireless service and we look forward to celebrating with a series of national events. mr. speaker this morning i had meetings -- [laughter] in addition to my duties i shall have further such meetings. >> on monday the secretary said so can the pre- minister make it clear unequivocally no if's and's bots or qualifications that vaccinations for staff will be abandoned and we also make it clear for the workers as well many of whom have already lost

their jobs and well those that lost their jobs get compensation? >> i think my right honorable friend of pre- much for her thoughtful work on this. i do think they have a professional responsibility to get vaccinated, mr. speaker but given the difference between omicron and adulthood, it is right and she is right that we revisit the balance of risk and opportunity. the consultation and subject to the responses and the will of the house the government will revoke the regulation.

>> thank you mr. speaker. following your opening remarks i just want to savor the members opposite, the party of winston churchill our parties stood together and now they stand in the house of commons touting the cheap political points. why do they keep raising the taxes on working people? >> on the first plate, i don't

want to make anything of this, but in 2013, the right honorable gentleman apologized and took full responsibilities to what had happened on his watch and i think that was the right thing to do. our recovery plan is absolutely vital helping people with the cost of living lifting up universal credit by cutting the tax of the people, lifting the minimum wage and helping the council for those facing particular hardship. what we are doing that is absolutely vital is increasing the number of the high wage and high skilled jobs in the country

more than there were before the pandemic began because we had to exit. it's not just financial insurance rise. there was the stealth tax on working people and a stealth tax on working people. you can be as stealthy as you like but you can't hide reality. we have the highest tax burden for 70 years during the middle of an inflation crisis. so i asked the pre- minister again why he ended the chancellor keep raising taxes on working people. >> mr. speaker, what we are doing is helping people with the

cost of living and cutting taxes for those on universal credit, mr. speaker. helping people with the cost of their fuel, doing all the things this country would expect, lifting the living wage. this party, this government and above all the most important thing we are doing is helping people into work. 500,000 and more people at work now than before the pandemic began. there's never been a labor government that left office with lower employment.

>> watts have no answers. that isn't going to work with the police. [laughter] >> i will tell them why they are putting taxes up. low growth. before the pandemic, growth slumped. it was much weaker than under the last government. we would have 30 billion to spend for public services without having to raise a single tax. mr. speaker, surely even this pre- minister doesn't need to someone else to tell him he and the chancellor having to raise taxes because the tourists failed to grow the economy over a decade. >> everybody in the country

could see we've been through the biggest pandemic and we've looked after the people in the country to the tune of 400 billion pounds that we put in to furloughed 11.7 million people protected. everybody knows the cost of that, mr. speaker. and at the same time, in spite of all of the difficulties we've faced, we have the fastest growth. we've got use unemployment at a record low, mr. speaker, three times as much tech investment coming into the country, twice as much growth in germany. yes that is absolutely true, mrt the last time they were in office when they were finally booted out, they left a note.

high taxes are not just the result of low growth end of the end of the government we have seen the way you stand fraud. they have written off 8.7 billion pounds. at the 4.3 billion in fraud. that is enough to cover the tax hike that he is inflicting on

working people. so, why did this government block the agency from investigating all the billions they lost to fraud? >> of course we despise fraud and that's why we've already recovered a 743 million pounds, 2.2 billion in bounce back loans but i have to tell you i am proud of what the government into the country did in record time looking after the entirety of the business. once again, coming in and attacking the government for doing exactly what he urged us to do eight months ago. it so happens from the shadow

chancellor to my right honorable friend of the secretary of state suggesting that we could secure supplies and this is april 202nd, 2020, secure the supplies from a theatrical and get ventilators from a professional softball agent. [laughter] no wonder under labor it's running a 21 billion-pound per year. i'm proud of what this government did, mr. speaker. >> please put your hand up because i've got to pick one of you.

>> to explain why we have high taxes but they don't explain why all these working people are asked to pay more. yesterday, he ordered his troops not to support a windfall tax on oil and gas companies. as a result, the country is missing out on over to billion n pounds we could have used to cut taxes on energy for working people. today he's ordering his troops to both the tax cuts for banks as a result the country is missing out on another billion pounds we could have spent cutting taxes for working people. while they are putting taxes up on the working people. >> mr. speaker, let's just get to the heart of all of that. this is all about dealing with the consequences of the biggest pandemic the country has seen

with the economic crisis in which the state taxes come forward and look after the people of this country to the tune of 408 billion pounds. should i tell you what this government is investing now in 45,000 more workers and people this year than there were last year. 10,000 more nurses, about 5,000 more doctors, 9 million more, 100 community diagnostics to help people get what they need and the incredible thing is the party voted against those funds.

>> mr. speaker, the truth is the conservative party of high taxes, because they are the party of low growth, they are the party of high taxes because they are the party of waste. we know there is no respect for decency or honesty. i won't accept it when he gas lights the british public but at the time that he's squeezing working people. is it the case that he and his chancellor are the tory selma and louis used to drive the country off the cliff into the abyss?

>> this is the last comment i have. isn't it true, mr. speaker, hand-in-hand as they drive the country off the cliff into the abyss with low growth and high tax? >> mr. speaker, i think the right honorable gentleman did exactly [inaudible] they've been put in different directions and we know they have different views. we are getting on with the job. i think it is absolutely extraordinary that they have done nothing to support the recovery plan and voted against to support but just in the last

few days while he's been fixated on the issue that he's absolutely determined, but we have done we've opened three fourths across the country in the last few days and we are getting 500,000 people to work with in just a few short minutes mr. speaker i hope that he will hang around. and in the investment areas across the country, aim wonderful level of to give opportunities across the whole country. a fantastic vision for the country. they have nothing over time for the people of the country. while we are getting on with the fastest economic recovery in the g7, he would have kept us in

lockdown, mr. speaker. they have no plans and we are building a coalition -- >> order. >> to give my condolences and saying how good it is [inaudible] >> 10-years-old when she died in september of childhood cancer it is often described as rare yet it is the biggest killer of children under 14. they failed to diagnose and they

discovered at the tumor in her body that was 12 centimeters long. so, on a friday i would like to ask the prime minister to please advocate for more and better training to identify cancer in children. >> i'm 32 sorry to hear of the case and for her family and friends. research is crucial in tackling childhood cancers. that's why we are investing in more research but it's also vital that we test early enough. in february of last year we are investing new diagnostic centers in the communities. >> thank you, mr. speaker.

i'm sure that you and the house will want to join me in celebrating and supporting world cancer day. mr. speaker, just in relation to your earlier statement, i have a difficulty reconciling the version of events in my heavy-duty to represent the deep, deep public anger with the pre- minister and that said, i respect the impartiality and want to say on the record that i respect the authority of the chair. mr. speaker, it revealed the pre- minister attended a party the 17th of november, 2020. the pre- minister previously told of the house that no party

took place. the police are investigating the party and we see these real prospects of a prime minister being questioned under caution and being signed in office. but if he signed, he must resign. mr. speaker, you will agree that the house should not be treated with consent. can the prime minister -- >> here we go again. >> can the pre- minister update the house on the whereabouts on the evening of the 13th of november? surely, mr. speaker, he doesn't need to wait for an investigation to tell us exactly where he was. >> mr. speaker, here we go again with the right honorable

gentleman. he asked exactly the same questions. i can tell him what's been going on on downing street. we've been delivering the fastest vaccine booster anywhere in europe and getting people back into work, mr. speaker. and we've been helping to bring the west together to define what i find completely unacceptable from the putin regime against ukraine. that's what we've been doing. >> thank you, mr. speaker. that was a great response and i have to say to the pre- minister, it should leave the room and see some of the things. mr. speaker, we have now reached

the scenario of a pre- minister who can't even tell us where he was. he lives in a world that he thinks everything is for him and never poses to think what he owes to the public. the prime minister has never seen the destruction at home and at the running joke on the international stage. what does it tell the prime minister and the public that in the morning when he returns the chair of the defense committee has submitted a letter of no confidence in him? >> mr. speaker, but he told me that is more vital than ever for the government to get on with the job and deliver the recovery plan, and that is what we are doing. >> mr. speaker, i would like to

say i saw firsthand the impact. nuclear power must play a role to combat the rising energy prices. well my right honorable friend agree and if so would my honorable friend commit to financing. it remains a prospect for new nuclear power. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i'm not sure the pre- minister

has noticed the working families have lost from the universal credit and the insurance has been put up by the government and their energy bills are going through the roof. he is very fond of telling us that we are all in this together. isn't it the truth, mr. speaker that the pre- minister has only ever been in it for himself? .. >> and that table.

>> thank you very much in the subject and he has lobbied very effectively for his constituents that the timetable is expected to return to those levels. >> thank you mr. speaker i was out this weekend speaking to constituents of a cold amici house. he failed to control the fuel bill. and then another constituent

and then to be despicable with no family struggling with the cost of living and with the cost of the people of this country. >> did he vote progressive? >> and how we delivered mr. speaker on monday. and i sympathize very much with us constituent. understand the questions people are facing on the cost of living so what we have got to do is invest in them and protect them for support and financial help for families and hardship this year and it is absolutely after the pandemic but do we have a jobs led economic recovery as have

the fastest economic growth in the uk. >> thank you mr. speaker to your chair. [cheering] and that is affecting all's square miles of manchester including my constituents with that tax. we all want clean air but the model proposed is unworkable and economically devastated with charges of 60 pounds per day and then to intervene in flicking this disastrous.

>> i know from my own experience trying to clean up areas basically to be unjustly penalized and that is completely unworkable doing more damage to businesses and residences in manchester that doesn't punish local residents and we will say more about this in the coming days. >> thank you mr. speaker and for hosting a party during lockdown. what he informed the house and will he resign? >> of course i will comply with the law but i have to wait for the process.

>> and it really has been the green shoots of prosperity. the green revolution and the increased congestion we are in desperate need of the infrastructure and then that ever-increasing traffic jam. >> the best champion possible. [cheering] thank you mr. speaker for actually making these investments. i understand of course to bring that challenge when it comes to congestion and i will

make sure that we get there to discuss it further. thank you so much. >> the problem is a distracted prime minister he makes the wrong choices as we are living it up many constituents are living on the breadline of food and energy and in york the rent prices are now the highest in the north and highest in the country and with the top ten places in the country with the cost of living prices pushing my constituents further into debt so they stop protecting themselves and stop protecting my constituents? >> mr. speaker one of the first things that i do and i became prime minister was to

ensure we looked after people by increasing by increasing the living wage but the most important thing about the uk economy right now as we have a strong jobs led recovery and that will drive up wages improve productivity and that is what the government will do. >> will he brief us on his visit to ukraine? >> very briefly mr. speaker i can tell the house that the mission to stand shoulder to shoulder with ukraine and to

show that we stand with the people of ukraine and for the sovereign and territorial integrity of ukraine had a very difficult time because that is 125,000 russian troops the situation is perilous. and the job of the uk is to lead the west to bring to gather to create a package of economic sanctions. and that would be a disastrous miscalculation and also to strengthen our support for the ukraine for the ukrainian people and ukrainian army. by doing that with that weaponry as well as training. that is appreciated not saying that it remains risky. >> after the publication of the russian report the prime

minister claims to have dirty money and money launderers these warnings to mr. putin surely carried more bite if he used it since publication for the russian report to legislate to stop the flow of dirty money from russia it is an issue of national security spent this government has come down very hard on russia and dirty money and then with china mr. speaker. that is why we have sanctions on russia from 2014 from everybody involved in we're

bringing forward economic crime bill in the first session. >> thank you mr. speaker. despite the best efforts of the opposition is government deliver the democratic decision. [cheers and applause] and despite there being a global pandemic and achieve your sense of free trade agreements however as we recover there are many more opportunities that can be realized so the prime minister commit to appointing a minister for responsible the freedoms and benefits for the constituency? >> you can hear mr. speaker they still want to take it back. they still want to cancel

brexit. and then also with report and then to do 60 or 70 free trade deals around the world. yes mr. speaker but it would be a good idea to have a minister driving that brexit. >> for us to wait for the report and the first investigation if there was a party then all rooms were full. but nobody. >> that i explained that.

nobody wanted that. i am very sad that she did. >> my constituency those currently facing to have the nearest clinic. it's not good enough. and that announce access to medical services. >> prime minister with this very important campaign we are committed to have character to have access to manage the symptoms. it is a priority with women's health strategy and then to establish a uk wide

mr. speaker. >> thank you mr. speaker. if there is an inquiry on the third of november why should we believe he has his hands on the button of our independence? >> mr. speaker i hesitate but she campaigned actively to install the prime minister. [cheering] >> thank you mr. speaker. >> we've done an amazing job at the vaccine rollout with my

right honorable friend those that have work so hard. >> when she did a fantastic job and i want to thank all of them in everybody's role. it was an extraordinary national effort anybody from the vaccine center but that feeling of energy to make our society literally healthier day by day and thank you from the bottom of my heart. >> that is the end if you wish to leave please do so quietly.
