the snp's spokesperson asked about supplies of personal protective equipment or ppe.sufficient ppe to nhs staff in england. he has now awarded £350 million of ppe contracts, but can he explain why 108 million of that was awarded without being advertised to crisp websites limited, which trades as pest fit, a small pest extermination company. why was such a large contract awarded to a company with no expertise in trading or supplying any ppe, let alone highly specialised equipment for nhs staff? we have enhanced — under the leadership of lord dighton — the supplies of ppe across the whole united kingdom. i worked very closely with the snp government on this matter, and we have made sure that ppe is now available in large part across the whole nhs and social care and all those others who need it. all of us who grew up in my constituency are very part of marcus rashford today, mr speaker. does the secretary of state agree with the health foundation that people facing the greatest deprivation have a higher rate of exposure to covid—19 and more severe outcomes when they con

snp mp who is on the trade committee there and has been involved in the socks.s on monday. negotiations step up next month — but will that be enough? here's our reality check correspondent chris morris. the whole point of the transition period was to give both sides a bit of breathing space to negotiate new agreements after brexit, and avoid an abrupt and possibly damaging change in the way this complex relationship works. but so far negotiations haven't gone well. and now the government has confirmed formally to the eu that the transition won't be extended beyond the 31st of december, planning for the prospect of no deal is going to have to be stepped up again. that doesn't mean quite the same thing that it did last year, because brexit has now actually happened: a withdrawal agreement was ratified and — legally speaking — the uk is no longer part of the eu. but on a practical level almost nothing has changed, yet. so, this time no deal would mean leaving the transition period with no trade deal in place, and potentially no agreements on for example police coop

the snp's westminster leader wondered if that meant relaxing the two—metre social distancing rule.exposed to the virus for six seconds at one metre is the same as being exposed for one minute at two metres. that, mr speaker, is a significant increase in risk. will the prime minister continue to ignore the experts or will he start following the advice of those who have actually read the scientific papers? clearly, as the incidence of the disease comes down — as i think members of sage would confirm — the statistical likelihood of being infected, no matter how close or far you are from somebody who may or may not have coronavirus goes down. borisjohnson. the government says 100,000 anti—racism demonstrators took to the streets in more than 200 protests across the uk following the death of african american george floyd, who was killed by us police. one of the biggest gatherings was in london where police said that following a "predominantly peaceful protest," officers faced "scenes of violence and disorder" which were "entirely unacceptable". in bristol, a statue of edward colston — a

the snp's westminster leader wanted the prime minister to back a scottish business plan.finance secretary have already made a request for more borrowing powers. with the prime minister implement the recommendations of these business leaders and give the scottish parliament the economic powers it needs to fuel a recovery in the wake of the pandemic, or will the prime minister put scotland's economic recovery at risk? well, i respectfully remind the right honourable gentleman that scotland has so far received, as part of our uk campaign against coronavirus, {3.8 billion now in consequentials. the fact that i am sure is seldom off his lips with his own s&p colleagues. we will continue to invest massively in scotland because scotland like the whole of the uk benefits from being part of the most of the oldest and most successful political partnership anywhere in the world. plaid cymru's westminster leader highlighted outbreaks of the virus at three food factories in wales, leaving workers relying on sick pay that's a fraction of their wages. for any future local lockdown to su

the snp's westminster leader turned to the protests in the usa over the death of an unarmed african—american white police officer. it would be nothing short of hypocrisy if we were to turn a blind eye to the events unfolding in the us. however, actions speak louder than words, and the prime minister can shake his head but the uk exports millions of pounds worth of riot control equipment to the us, including tear gas and rubber bullets. the prime minister must have seen how these weapons are used on american streets. with the government's own guidance warning against equipment being used in such a way, will the prime minister urgently review such exports? as he knows, all exports are conducted in accordance with the consolidated guidance and the uk is possibly the most scrupulous country in that respect in the world. borisjohnson. the foreign secretary has said china's proposed national security law for hong kong would be a "clear violation" of its international obligations. china is seeking to pass a law that would ban treason, secession, sedition and subversion in hong kong, sparking fresh

the snp said the windrush scandal was a direct result of the government's hostile environment policy. that in today's statements, the home secretary does not unequivocally commit to the sort of root and branch review of the hostile environment policy recommended by the lessons learned review. it's all very well to agree that black lives matter, but actions speak louder than words. the root causes can be traced back to legislation from the 19605 and 805. much of which is complex, but of course i appreciate the honourable lady has not fully read the report and has quoted selectively. as i said, mr deputy speaker, i will come back to the house before the summer recess to discuss the specifics as to how we will be implementing... answer my questions. as i said, mr deputy speaker, i will be returning back to the house to outline how we will be implementing the recommendations from the lessons learned review. all of the people who have claimed compensation thus far only 60 payments have been made, and 529 people have had to wait for more than a year. so does the home secretary concede that

the snp, which wants the transition period extended beyond the end of the year, complained that the nationstions engaging with him and his government any more? a tiger has been put in a tank. but that tiger, that tank, is labelled scottish independence. the government decision to abandon the introduction of full custom checks and control on eu imports from the ist ofjanuary is a recognition that firms are simply not ready. yet he knows that regardless of whether or not an agreement is reached with the eu, british businesses will face full checks, controls, red tape on exports to the european union from january. given his decision and coronavirus, why does he think that british businesses are going to be able to cope with that? it is the case that british businesses responded warmly to the announcement that we made on friday as a pragmatic and flexible approach. in the alternative approach that we outline, it would be to extend the transition period. will my honourable friend ensure my fantastic business community in watford in the chamber of commerce we speak with regularly that we are in f

the snp's westminster leader returned the conversation to poverty.ship in tackling poverty in a matter of days than this tory government has in the past decade of cuts. but as he says people were struggling all year round and more needs to be done. his solution — more money for famil1ies on benefits. an extra £20 a week in social security support would prevent millions of families from having to make the choice of paying their bills or feeding their children. this is a government that has done everything that we possibly can so far to help families in need to make sure that nobody is penalised for doing the right thing during the crisis because i know how difficult it has been. that's why we uprated the universal credit by £1,044 benefiting i think four million families in this country. but i say in all sincerity to the right honourable gentlemen that we are fully aware that there will be tough times ahead and we do stand by to do more where we can. the prime minister. time for some news in brief now. and the debate over statues of historical figures

speaking at today's daily briefing, the snp leader will update the scottish parliament on thursday, andally, and the two metre rule on social distancing will remain under review. as things stand right now, i remain optimistic that on thursday, while we might not be able to do absolutely everything we hope to do in phase two, we will nevertheless be able to enter that next phase and announce further important steps on ourjourney back to normality. the reason for my cautious optimism is since we last announced changes, we have continued to see a downward trend in covid—19 cases, and also in the weekly number of deaths. in addition, the r number, which as you know is the rate at which the virus reproduces, has fallen slightly and is now between 0.6 and 0.8, and it's crucial that it remains underi. so i hope, for example, that as well as allowing a bit more social interaction from thursday, we will also be able to move forward with the remobilisation of the nhs, and also indicate a date from which our retail sector can begin to reopen. all of that and any other changes that we are able to a

an snp mp has a bleak assessment of the chances of success in uk—eu trade talks. is going to be misery heaped on misery as covid and brexit appear like the twin horsemen of the economic apocalypse trampling over any prospect of recovery. and mps are told how coronavirus has brought hard times for theatres and musicians. the union, we're running out of money. we have £1 million into a hardship fund — that's pretty much gone. but first, the education secretary has confirmed he's dropping plans for all primary school years in england to go back to school before the end of term. ministers were aiming for all primary pupils to spend four weeks in school before the summer break. but the idea is no longer thought feasible and instead heads will be given "flexibility" over whether or not to admit more children. while we are not able to welcome all primary children back for a full month before the summer, we continue to work with at the sector on the next steps where we would like to see schools who have the capacity to bring back more children in those smart class sizes t

yet for care homes with this snp government it has been dither, delay, distract.acity to test. indeed, if you had used that capacity effectively since the end of april, you could have tested all the residents and staff at care homes twice. instead, capacity is being squandered and care home workers and residents who have already enjoyed the horror of this crisis are being let down all over again. why, two weeks on from a promise to test all care home staff, is this government is still not getting it right? in response, nicola sturgeon said the scottish government has been following the guidance provided by the who. she also said deaths in care homes were declining slightly faster than in hospital and she would publish robust figures on testing when they were available. the who on care homes did not say what jackson carlo has just alleged and asserted. in fact, i'm sure based on the fact that his puts questions on this, he has read the guidance. the who issued technical guidance. the who issued technical guidance on infection control on the zist guidance on infecti

because there are those mps who live hundreds of miles away from westminster, for example, from the a0 snpe future and perhaps more importantly, there are those mps who are in the shielding category who have been told they are not allowed to leave the house and they are absolutely furious that under the plan that the government is bringing forward , plan that the government is bringing forward, they will not be able to vote or potentially even take part in debates. on that latter point of taking part in debates, there might be some wriggle room over the next few hours, there have been talks going on today between the government and some mps who are unhappy and number 10 suggested that there might still be some room for compromise. there is definitely a lot of anger here that there was hybrid model which allowed mps to be at home or here and to take part is on the way out. we will come back to later, thank you very much. we will be taken of the commons for the start of that debate with jacob rees—mogg in what promises to be quite a lively session a little bit later on. full coverage here. n

we now go to the leader of the snp ian blackford with two minutes.ank you, and can i associate myself with the remarks of both of the prime minister and the leader of the prime minister and the leader of the labour party about the murder of jo cox four years ago, a day i guess none of us rightly will ever forget and cani none of us rightly will ever forget and can i thank the prime minister and can i thank the prime minister and the leader of the labour party for the comments of my colleague for east dunbartonshire, i know she is very grateful of all the support that has been shown towards her. mr speaker, prior to the prime minister coming to the house today, the contents coming to the house today, the co nte nts of coming to the house today, the contents of his statement were shrouded in secrecy. we now know why. unfortunately, it is now crystal clear what is happening. the prime minister and this uk government are using the cover of a terrible pandemic to rip apart the uk's structures for international development and humanitarian aid at a time wh

the snp have never accepted the fa ct her.explain to michel barnier that we have left the european union, we will not be bullied or told what to do. we do mutually and fairly wish to negotiate a reasonable free trade deal. if they don't take us up on the offer then we will trade on australian terms. the ball is in their court and to use his own phrase, the clock is ticking. so if any businesses say we are already massively struggling, brexit is just going to make it harder, what would you say to them? i would say firstly that 17.4 million british people voted to leave the european union and they massively endorse that decision overwhelmingly in the general election. and it was in the conservative party's manifesto that we would not extend the transition period. indeed, we have put it into law that we would not and we won the general election hands down, so that's what i would say to any business, michel barnier, ian blackford and nicola sturgeon, with my compliments. mark francois mp, many thanks for your time today. we will h
