every step of the way. does the premised are promise to help get people to help get people the support they need? >> mr. speaker, can i think my honorable friend who continues campaigning on this important issue. of all 1000 children, you are required to recruit up to two attendings. they are looking at expanding that and i am working with them to ensure their constituents get the mental health support and care they need. >> the leader of the opposition -- >> thank you, mr. speaker and congratulations to england and wales on their starts and good luck for the rest of the tournament. mr. speaker, the world cup does not belong to fifa and it doesn't belong to the host nation, it belongs to everyone.

it's totally unacceptable that during this tournament, football fans are unable to acknowledge who they love and players have been fraught with suspension if they show solidarity with those fans. shame on fifa. britain faces the lowest growth of any oecd nation over the next two years, why? mr. speaker, this country has experienced since 2010, third -- the third highest growth in the g7. this is the fastest growth in the g7 and unemployment at a multi-decade low. we are getting ready to deliver more growth.

we are investing in apprenticeships and protecting rnd and is the labour party serious about supporting growth, maybe they should get on the phone with their union paymasters. mr. speaker, >> let's get to the prime minister questions and you are not helping me. >> he's in total denial. we are all in the same boat when it comes to covid and ukraine. he wants a pat on the back it like a football manager at christmas. it won't wash. that's the problem so let's try it another way. why is written said to be the first country into recession and the last country out? >> mr. speaker, i am pleased the

honorable gentlemen bought up just brought up the oecd report. firstly, admit the point that in the years following the pandemic, we are projected to have almost the highest growth in the free world. it also made the point that it was crystal clear that the challenges we face are completely international in nature. thirdly it supported our fiscal plan because it's credible. the right honorable gentlemen would have known all that if he actually read the whole report. but he is not interested in substance, he is an opportunist. in four weeks mr. speaker, i

have strengthen the economy and put more money into the nhs and schools and delivered a deal to tackle illegal migration. in the same four weeks. >> prime minister, can i just say that you quite rightly said let's get to the prime minister question so give short answers. please stick to that. >> there is only one party that is trash the economy. i noticed this, he won't say why britain is said to be the first into a recession and the last out so i will. 12 years of tory chaos. for a decade, they've let our economy drift before suddenly

cutting the ropes and slamming into the ground. because of the changes he's made , a typical household will end up with tax increases of 1400 pounds. they don't want to hear about these tax increases. contrast that to a super wealthy section of the population holding their holdings overseas. >> don't be shouting and pointing. make a good example. don't spoil what you are meant to do. >> you don't want to hear this because of the changes, because of the changes he's make him a typical household will end up paying tax increases of 1400 pounds. contrast that to a super wealthy non-dom living here but holding their income overseas. how much more do they have to

pay? >> i said to the prime minister, i've got to get through this. you've got to help me. , on. >> mr. speaker, labor has 13 years to address these issues. nothing, it was a conservative government that took action and tighten the rules. the problem with eyes -- with his idea is it would end up costing britain money. not my words, the words of the former labor chancellor. rather than peddling fairytales, let's tell them what we are doing to deliver for this country, a record increase in the national living wage, protecting millions from energy bills, protecting the pensions,

that's what we are doing for this country. >> can you do this without spending tens of billions more? >> be has not asked non-dom's to pay a penny more. every year, they talk about the money and that 3.6 billion pounds is thrown away because he won't make them pay their taxes here. how many extra doctors can we afford with that money? >> mr. speaker, i'm pleased he brought up doctors because last week, we delivered record increases in funding to the nhs. more doctors, more nurses, more operations which shows our commitment to prioritize the nhs. not my words, the words of the nhs chief executive. >> scrapping the non-dom

statements would allow us to trade 15,000 doctors every year. that's what labor would do. we can carry on giving tax breaks to the super rich or we can live in a society where people don't have to go private to get a doctors appointment. it's that simple. he also gets 90 for every one pound they collect so they haven't paid a penny in windfall tax. you may have seen this week that somebody contributed 10,000 pounds to those propping up the oil and gas companies. 10,000 pounds every other minute propping them up. >> mr. speaker, this is the government that has put in place an economic plan that would deliver confidence and stability to our economy. all i've heard today is there is

no answers, there is no substance because there is no plan. he talks about the nhs with record funding so we can only do that on the foundation of a strong economy. you cannot deliver for the nhs unless you have a plan for the economy and he doesn't have either. >> mr. speaker, every time he opens his mouth, another discovery of not having another plan on growth. the failure of the last 10 years and the last 10 weeks compound the decision he's taking now. he won't follow labor's plan to scrap non-dumb status but instead we got an nhs staffing crisis. he won't make a plan to make oil and gas giants pay their fair share instead he hammers working people. it won't push through planning reform, instead he kills off the dream of homeownership. two weeks to take on his party,

to asked to take on vested interests, 12 long years of tory government, five prime ministers, seven chancellors. why do they always clobber working people? >> mr. speaker, he talks about leadership in this summer i stood up and told the country what they needed to hear even though it was difficult. when he ran for leader, he told his party what they wanted to hear. even now, he said one thing and does the other. he said he cares for working people but he won't stand up to the unions. he said he would honor brexit but he asked for a second referendum and now he's going to talk tough about immigration he promised to defend free movement.

you can trust him to deliver for his party and you can trust me to deliver for the country. >> ruth edwards. >> thank you, mr. speaker. can we debate the best cost for our energy costs and many people in ukraine are without power thanks to russia's or barrick destruction of the energy infrastructure. what support will we provide to our ukrainian allies to help them repair the damage and keep them warm this winter? >> i'm discussing this with president zelenskyy this weekend and talking to ukrainian families these awful strikes are having on them. the whole house will be proud to know we are providing millions of pounds for immediate support

with shelter and water repair on top of the 570 mobile power generators we are donating to power facilities across ukraine. we are working with the government to repair critical infrastructure with a project identified by u.k. export finance to be delivered in the near future. >> the leader of thesmp? >> thank you, mr. speaker. i'm sure you want to join me in welcoming the moderator. and thank him for his comments this morning. mr. speaker, this morning, the supreme court clarified a point of law, that the point of democracy in this union and democracy will not be denied. for the -- whether westminster likes it or not, last year, the people of scotland voted with the majority in the mandate to deliver a list of demands.

the prime minister has every right to host independent. he has no right to do my democracy -- to deny democracy to the people of scotland. will he be honest and confirmed that the very idea of the united kingdom is a unity of nations and it's not dead and rotted? >> mr. speaker, let me start by saying we declare a definitive ruling from the supreme court of the united kingdom. i'm looking forward to also seeing the moderator of scotland tomorrow and i think the people of scotland want to fix the major challenges we collectively face whether it's the economy, supporting the nhs or supporting ukraine. now is the time for politicians to work together and that's what this government will do. >> mr. speaker, it is right that

we respect the decision of the court. but the prime minister has claimed rule of law and then deny democracy in the same breath. if democracy is to matter, if elections matter, then mandates matter. in 2014, the scottish national party has 18 elections in a row. last year, we won by a landslide. the scottish parliament won by the biggest majority from an independent referendum in the history. the prime minister does not have a personal mandate for 10 downing street so what right does a man with no mandate deny scottish democracy? >> mr. speaker, when it comes to scottish democracy, the scottish government has one of the most powerful and evolved systems of government in the world.

shortly after becoming prime minister, i was the first one over a decade to asked the council to sit in with the first minister to explore ways in which we can work together with the scottish government to deliver for the people of scotland and whether that's delivering 1.5 billion pounds of extra money can go toward public services and that's what we are committed to doing in scotland. >> mr. speaker, last month, there was oil causing chaos. they attacked the m-25 and everything caused misery and mayhem. these people are not protesters, they are criminals. will the prime minister therefore considered making chester oil a prescribed organization so that they can be

treated as a criminal organization that they actually are? >> mr. speaker, the kind of demonstrations we see, disrupt people's lives and cause mass misery for the public and they put people in danger. the police have our full support in their efforts to minimize this disruption and tackle illegal activity. the public bill will given the powers they need and i look forward to seeing the support of that bill from every part of this house. >> mr. speaker, one of my constituents has contacted me and said her mortgage payments have risen by 500 pounds per month. she and her husband are already struggling with high energy bills, high food bills and now like one in four across the country, they fear losing their home. we are out of options and heart

broken she says. i want to know that the plan will help families like hers up and down the country because it's the right plan to tackle inflation and limit the increased and mortgage rates and ensure competence in our economy there is specific help offering low-interest loans to those owners on benefits. the chancellors also meeting with mortgage lenders in the coming weeks and we support those homeowners who are struggling with their payments. >> mr. speaker, we celebrate

volunteers make it possible every week so with the prime minister joined me in thanking those volunteers for the incredible work they do and with top-flight football taking a break at the world cup, when he joined me in reminding people that is the perfect opportunity to support their local football teams who are incredibly welcoming including the community football club? >> i'm happy to join my honorable friend in supporting all his local teams. the volunteers have a vital role to play in community sports and the delivery of major events and i join him in thanking them for everything they do. over half of volunteering in the u.k. and every one of those volunteers generates the capacity for more people to participate and i know the whole house will join me in praising

their efforts. >> thank you, mr. speaker and good afternoon. since 2014, the smp of 18 elections and counselors, members of scottish parliament and more mps in this place than any other scottish political party. everyone of those elected members were elected on a manifest in clear mandate for scottish independence. mr. speaker, what democratic rate does this government -- democratic right to refuse scottish independence and keep a jack hold and us in prison against the scottish people? >> mr. speaker, we respect the decisions of the court today with the referendum. we are getting on with the business of working constructively and collaboratively in partnership with the scottish government to deliver to his constituents.

we are investing 100 million pounds to a strong industrial heritage, potentially making use of renewable energy. that's what we should be focusing on and that's what we will continue to deliver on. >> he has rightly vowed to appoint a successor but will he commit to introduce the additional measures in the new five point integrity plan developed with organizations like transparency international with the spotlight on corruption to show he can walk the talk and put government integrity at the heart of this issue. >> i thank my honorable friend for his comprehensive and soulful suggestions.he knows i've committed to appointing an independent advisor on ministerial interest in a very much look forward to

other proposals in time. >> mr. speaker, three months ago, the prime interest said in scotland, and i accept that. by consent and democracy, the scottish people have already voted by a clear majority in parliament to have a say in a referendum on the independence. beg the ultimate question, can this prime minister except scottish democracy and if so, is it practical with today's supreme court ruling that sponsors the message that the u.k. is upheld by consent? >> mr. speaker, when scottish people want to see their government working together on the things that matter to them

and i think that is possible. we been able to support culture and tourism to bring the vna to dundee. it demonstrates the viability of the union and that's what we will continue to deliver. >> thank you, mr. speaker. my right honorable friend will be aware that the government provides a slim financial support to small nuclear reactors. a few other countries have woken up to invest in these. one will not be running until 2021 -- until 2031, should we be doing the same? >> you make an excellent point and hopefully, he was heartened to hear what the chancellor said that we want to continue with our overall nuclear program in his right to acknowledge that small nuclear reactors have a

chance to play a major role in that program and that so i we've allocated 385 million pounds to support then and i'm keen to see. progress >> thank you very much, mr. speaker. during the 2014 referendum, we were told that scotland was an equal partner in a family of nations. yet the disaster that is brexit has worked against our will and we see evolution wound back by legislation. does the prime minister still claim and explain the democratic roots -- routes i which the people of scotland can make a choice over their own future? >> mr. speaker, the u.k. is a collaborative and instructive union that is delivering for the people of scotland. we are working collaboratively with the scottish government to address issues like

manufacturing and those of the types of activities that will bring tangible benefits to the people in her region and that's the right path for the government. >> thank you, mr. speaker. as a north yorkshire mp, my right honorable friend will no doubt be aware of services that are available. last month, ariva stop the only bus on short notice. additionally, crossnore yorkshire, 18 other bus services are now under threat. can you advise what action he will take to ensure that essential services are not withdrawn at short notice? can you ensure these are continued to be operated across the district and wider north yorkshire? my honorable friend is right and

he knows i share the same kinds of issues in rural areas. i am please the chancellor has allocated funding for extra bus services across the country and i look forward to working with him to provide the conductivity that is so important and people have an opportunity to get access to public services. >> mr. speaker, tomorrow marks one year since 32 people lost their lives in the channel. suggests the vicious waters and french and british authorities was in stress for a long time. families are still waiting for answers from the marine accident investigation. why has this invasion -- and this -- why has this investigation taken so long and does he concede this would not

have happened if there was safe and legal entrance into the u.k.? >> mr. speaker, every life that is loft -- is lost in the channel is a tragedy so it's vital we break the cycle of criminal gangs that are exploiting people and trafficking them. we have accepted over 380,000 people over the past few years because this is a place where people can seek refuge. we must be able to do that in a sustainable way. >> mr. speaker, rising energy bills are challenging for all of thus -- all of us. with temperatures this week falling below freezing in lancashire, people are curious as to when they will receive relief. when and how will they receive

400 pounds to help with their energy bills? >> she is a champion of a rural constituents to make sure they have access to services and it's something that the chancellor prioritize last week and i would ensure we get the money out as quickly as possible. she should be reassured that the cold weather hastens the activity to get them support. >> is scotland safe from brexit? [indiscernible]

>> scotland is a proud nation with a unique heritage. it is a valued member of our family of nations. a union of people bound to the generation by shared interest. does my right honorable friend agree with me? give the scottish nationalists the opportunity to what's up that the people of scotland first -- to want to put the

people of scotland first, and ended its obsession with breaking up the party. >> my right honorable friend put it very well. mr. speaker, -- 20% more in the u.k.. that is why i am for independence to choose a better party. meantime, in my constituency, a higher rank of fuel poverty the northern ireland.

on the basis of fairness, yes or no? last week announced 55 billion pounds to support families and businesses across the u.k., and the chance to pay particular attention to those that are off grid in rural areas by doubling the support, and that will help many people in his constituency and across the united kingdom. >> we are celebrating what we consider to be one of the best days of the year. will the prime minister join me in welcoming local leaders and businesses and join us in supporting our proud history?

the other voice we know so well, we say no. we say yes, we are the people. the people in scotland who have to be heard, this place cannot stand in the way of democracy. if this prime minister thinks he

can, it's you seriously telling us this is a voluntary union -- is he seriously telling us this is a voluntary union? >> on the people of scotland, that is who we are delivering for. i am happy to meet with prime minister is like i continue to do to deliver for them, whether with our own constituency or moving drops to scotland, delivering reports or extra funding for public services. this they government
