Wish to offer them our very best wishes on this special occasion. Mr. Speaker, this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues in addition to my duties in this house. I will have further such meetings today. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Her predecessors excellent work in making sure this economy grows has been confident in our countrys growth despite the troubles and tribulations that have been set before us. Our debt has now our deficit has now come down and our debts are oversubscribed. Will she take this opportunity to invest in our economy even more than she is already and perhaps even take a chance to build more homes . Friend makes a very important point about investing in infrastructure. He refers to housing particularly. We are doing exactly that. That is why we have seen over a quarter of a trillion pounds in Infrastructure Spending since 2010, by putting in another 22 billion pounds from Central Government for economic infrastructure, we are seeing billions of pounds on rail projects, the biggest roadbuilding program ever for a generation that this country, this government building a country fits for the future. Jeremy corbyn. Thank you, mr. Speaker. I joined the Prime Minister in wishing a happy platinum anniversary. Mr. Speaker, the thoughts of the whole house will be with the victims of the devastating earthquake that hit iran and iraq on monday, leaving hundreds dead and thousands without shelter. I hope the government is offering all necessary emergency help and support that can be used to save lives. I also hope, mr. Speaker, im sure the house will join me in sending our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of the late sergeant, Labor Assembly member in wales who tragically died last week. Mr. Speaker, crime is up, Violent Crime is up, and Police Numbers are down by 20,000 and will the Prime Minister urge her chancellor, who i know this week is sitting absolutely next to her, so it will be easy to make the demand on him, to provide the funding our police need to make communities safe . Prime minister. Say threef all, can i points. On the earthquake that took place in iraq and iran, we are monitoring this closely. It is a devastating earthquake. Our thoughts are with all those affected by it. We are looking at the situation, we stand ready to provide assistance for urgent humanitarian need if requested. The government will do what is necessary. We will stand ready to help people. I also join with him in offering condolences to the family and friends of carl sargent. I am sure that goes to everybody across this whole house. He raised the issue of crime and policing. Crimes initially measured by the independent crime survey are down by over a third since 2010. We have been protecting Police Budgets and we protected police we are putting more money into counterterrorism policing. What matters is what the police do, and how they deliver. As i say, the crime survey shows that crime is down by nearly a third since 2010. Jeremy corbyn. Mr. Speaker, i have been following some of the tweets from her friends along the front bench over there. One of them, and i quote, said, very disappointed and mystified at the closure of the police station. [laughter] chattering] for the want of any doubt, mr. Speaker, that came from the foreign secretary, who is also the hear about the police station. Im pleased that you do, mr. Speaker. The foreign secretary is so excited, he will not even hear the answer. [laughter] the real reason, mr. Speaker, is that it is closing because of a 2. 3 billion pounds cut from Police Budgets in the last parliament, and it gets worse. They are going to be cut by another 700 Million Pounds by 2020. Mr. Speaker, under this government, there are 11,000 fewer firefighters in england since 2010. And last year, deaths in fires increased by 20 . In the wake of the terrible Grenfell Tower fire, the Prime Minister was very clear when she said this could not be allowed to happen again and money would be no object to fire safety. Will she therefore, now back or back her campaign to provide one billion pounds to local councils to retrofit sprinklers in all highrise blocks . Prime minister. All, on the first question the right honorable gentleman raises, he may not have noticed but the police and crime commissioner in london is the mayor. [indiscernible] the last time i looked he was a labour mayor. Although perhaps the leader of the labour party thinks he is not labour enough for him. But lets be very clear. Lets be very clear about funding for the metropolitan police. There is more money and offices for each londoner than anywhere else in the country. Thats the reality of our funding for the metropolitan team. Now, he has asked about the issue of fire. And we absolutely take what happened, the appalling tragedy of what happened at Grenfell Tower seriously and that is why i set up the public inquiry, why my right honorable friend the Community Secretary has set up already work taking place on the fire regulations and the building regulations to ensure that we do have those right. And it is why we continue to support kensington and Chelsea Council in ensuring we deliver for those who have been victims of this awful tragedy. But he asked about sprinklers. Of course, we want to make sure that homes are fit for those who live in them. There is a responsibility on building owners in relation to that. And some owners do retrofit sprinklers but there are other Safety Measures that can take place. But perhaps he ought to look at what Labour Council has said about this. It rejected calls to retrofit sprinklers saying what matters is introducing the right Safety Measures. Another counsel says to weigh up the issue because fitting speakers can involve cutting through compartmentalization, which is another safety measure. Another counsel says there were issues retrofitting sprinklers, questions about how effective they were. And another counsel says they need to look at how effective speakers would be. Jeremy corbyn. Mr. Speaker, the corner the coroner thought that fitting sprinklers would be a right thing to do. The fire officer thinks it is the right thing to do. Those local authorities that have asked Central Government those local authorities that have asked Central Government for support to retrofit sprinklers have all been refused by her government. Surely, we need to think about the safety of the People Living in socially rented highrise blocks. Yesterday, i was passed a letter, mr. Speaker, from a n agency in lincolnshire, where universal credit is about to be rolled out. The agency, and i have the letter here the agency is issuing all of its tenants with a preemptive notice of eviction because universal credit has driven up arrears where it has been rolled out. The letter, and i quote, says, g. A. P. Property cannot sustain arrears at the potential levels universal credit could create. Will the Prime Minister pauls pause universal credit so it can be fixed, or does she think it is right to put thousands of families through christmas in the trauma of knowing they are about to be evicted because they are in rent arrears because of universal credit . Prime minister. Can i say to the right honorable gentleman that there have been concerns raised in this house previously over the issue of people managing their budgets to pay rent. But what we actually see, what we see is that over after four months, the number of people on universal credit in arrears have fallen by a third. It is important that we do look at the issues on this particular case. The right honorable gentlemen might like to send a letter through. I know in an earlier Prime Ministers questions, he raised a specific constituent, case of an individual who had written to him about her experience on universal credit. As far as im aware, he has not sent a letter to me despite me asking. Jeremy corbyn. Mr. Speaker, i am very happy to give the Prime Minister a copy of this letter. I suspect it is not the only leading agency that is sending out that kind of letter. She might be aware that Food Bank Usage has increased by 30 in areas where universal credit has been rolled out. 3 million families are losing an average of 2500 pounds a year through universal credit. The Child Poverty action Group Estimates more than a million will be in poverty due to cuts imposed by universal credit. If those are not reasons enough to pause the rollout, i dont know what there are. Mr. Speaker, last week, last week, the chief executive order. Mr. Morris. Paul yourself. Behave with restraint. You are seated in a prominent addition. Quiet. It will be good for your wellbeing. Jeremy corbyn. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Last week, the chief executive Simon Stevens wrote, the budget for the nhs next year is well short of what is currently needed. Any waiting time target has not been met for two years. The 62 day canceling target has not been met since 2015. Again, can the Prime Minister spend the next week ensuring that the budget does give sufficient funding to our nhs to meet our peoples needs . Prime minister. On the first issue that the right, honorable gentleman raised, can i remind him yet again, universal credit is ensuring that we are seeing more people in work and able to keep what they earn . He talks about what was said about the National Health service. Look at what Simon Stevens said about the National Health service. The quality of nhs care is demonstrably improving. Outcomes of care for most major conditions are dramatically better than three or five or 10 years ago. He said what has been achieved in england over the past three years . More convenient access to primary care services, highest cancer survival rate ever. Big expansion in cancer checkups. Public satisfaction with hospital inpatients at its highest for more than two decades. That is the good news of our National Health service. Jeremy corbyn. It is very strange, mr. Speaker, that the chief executive of nhs providers says when the middle of the longest of the deepest financial squeeze in history, i have a pretty good idea they know what they are talking about. Let me give the Prime Minister another statistic, the number of people waiting more than four hours a day has gone up by more than 557 since 2010. Two weeks ago, mr. Speaker, the opposition to us, the tories, were very noisy, when i mentioned you are the government, we are opposition, you are in opposition to us. It is not complicated. It is not complicated. Two weeks ago, mr. Speaker, i raised the question of cuts in school budget. Teachers and parents telling mps what the reality of it was about. The Prime Minister was in denial. Every tory mp was in denial. This week, 5000 head teachers from 25 counties wrote to the chancellor saying, we are simply asking for the money that is being taken out of the system to be returned. Will the Prime Minister listen to head teachers and give a commitment, so the budget next week will return the money to school budgets, so that our schools are properly funded . Prime minister. Can i say to the right honorable gentleman, actually, i think this is a major moment, you have got something right today. We are the government, and he is the opposition. [cheering] on the nhs, there are 1800 more patients seen within the fourhour ane standard every single day compared to 2010. And he talks about School Funding. We are putting more money into our school budget. We are seeing record levels of funding going into our schools. And this government is the first government in decades that has actually gripped the issue of a fairer national funding. We are putting that into practice. But you can only put record levels of money into your nhs and your schools with a strong economy. And what do we see as being the result of policies that this conservative government has put into place . Income inequality, down under the conservatives, up under labour. Unemployment, down under conservatives, up under labor. Up under labour. Workers households, down under conservatives, up under labour. Deficits, down under conservatives, up under labour. He is signing a run on the pound, we are building a briton a britain fit for the future. Mr. Speaker. I would have thought that 5000 head teachers would have a pretty good idea about the funding problems at their schools, and a pretty good idea of the effects of government cuts on school budgets, on their staff, and on their students. Indeed, the iss says School Funding would have fallen by 5 in real terms by 2019 as a result of government policies. Mr. Speaker, Public Service is in crisis, from police to the fire service. From nhs to childrens schools, while a super rich few dodge their taxes. Ah, yes. The government sits on its hands as billions are lost to vital Public Services. The conservatives cut taxes for the few and Vital Services for the many. It is not just one rule for the super rich. Order. I apologize for interrupting the right honorable gentleman. Both sides of this house will be heard. The idea that when somebody is asking a question there should be a concerted attempt to shout that person down is totally undemocratic and completely on unacceptable from which whatever quarter it comes. I would just ask colleagues to give some thought to how our behavior is regarded by the people who put us here. Jeremy corbyn. Mr. Speaker, quite simply, is not the truth that this is a government that protects the super rich, while the rest of us pick up the bill through cuts, austerity, poverty, homelessness, low wages, and slashing of local services all over the country . That is the reality of a tory government. Prime minister. We have taken 160 billion pounds extra in as a result of the actions we have taken on tax avoidance and evasion. The tax gap is now at its lowest level ever. If the tax gap had stayed at the level it was under the labour party, we would be losing the equivalent of the entire Police Budget for england. We, in the conservatives, are building a britain that is fit for the future. The best brexit deal, more high paid jobs, better schools, the homes our country needs. Labour has backtracked on brexit. They have gone back on their promise on student debt. And they would lose control of public finances. I say to the right honorable gentleman, he may have given momentum to his party but he brings stagnation to the country. [indiscernible] thank you, mr. Speaker. In april 2015, the residence saw their only gp surgery close in an area that once had significant challenges, but thanks to the great work of local counselors has been regenerated. My constituents reluctantly accepted shortterm pay for the longterm gain of a new surgery that would open the following summer. Regrettably, the project still hasnt yet started. So i wonder whether the Prime Minister might meet with me and patient action groups to consider the slippage in this village. My honorable friend is right to raise this important issue for his constituents. Ive been assured in this case that all the local Health Organizations do remain fully committed to this project, confident it will bring benefits to the population in the longterm. What i understand the frustrations the honorable gentleman has. I understand he is going to be meeting representatives of nhs england and Nhs Property Services this month. Those two organizations are in the best position to ensure this will progress as quickly as possible, and i hope there will be positive news coming out of that meeting. As my honorable friend has raised, access to local health services, mr. Speaker i would like to take this opportunity to say as well how important it is this is an important issue for people of this house and outside of this house. Services, i want to make sure that everyone that is entitled to a flu jab this year gets one. I have had one and i hope everyone in this house is encouraging their constituents to get one. Ian blackford. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Queen ofgratulate the the impending platinum and diverse array of their wedding. I am sure the house men would like to welcome the lady to the scottish parliament. We should be incredibly proud of our Emergency Services. They do a heroic job putting themselves in danger to keep us all safe. I joined the right honorable gentleman in welcoming. Previously and this chamber, i am happy to confirm that. Do a great says they job. The pride of britain awards posthumously awarded an award in the name of a man who worked to keep this place safe. Other awards were given to Police Officers for what they do. They run toward danger when most of us would run away from it. Ian blackburn. Scottish fire, and police are the only forces in the United Kingdom to be for providing services of 140 million homes since 2013. Has raised this issue 30 times in this chamber. None of scotlands Emergency Services this has been a longstanding campaign. We will not give up. Prime minister. The chief has made clear that officials will look at this issue and report on it in due course. I am pleased to say that constructive recommendations have been made by my scottish colleague on this particular issue. Clear because be the right honorable gentleman knows that before the Scottish Government made the decision to and firelands Police Regional bodies, it was told they would become ineligible for refunds and they pressed ahead despite knowing that. Grandparents have a vital role to play in the upbringing of their grandchildren. In a time of rising life expectancy, they are better equipped than ever. Does the Prime Minister, therefore, agree with me that we should send a strong signal from this house, that they should be intimately involved in those adoption decisions, something i have seen as to be sadly lacking in my own constituency . Can i say to my honorable friend that i have seen grandparents in my constituency who have been concerned about decisions taken in relation to their grandchildren, when they themselves were willing to provide that home and support. It is an issue. There is already a duty on local authorities to ensure whenever possible, children are raised within their family, and that the statutory guidance does make particular reference to grandparents. But adoption agencies must also include the needs of the child first and foremost. Each case will be different but i think the message he is giving, of grandchildren being able to be brought up in their families wherever possible, is a good one. Has the Prime Minister accepted my invitation to the universal credit summit . We will have testimony from constituents and multiple agencies alike, including the Macmillan Cancer partnership who told the only a patient who was dying while awaiting the payments, but they were forced to selldeclare that they are dying, even if they didnt want the doctor didnt want to tell them their fate. Will she stop this weekend and end this cruel condition . Point earlier about the importance of universal credit. We are making more advance payments available. The honorable gentleman might like to recognize that thanks to the unprecedented evolution of scotland that we have given, the Scottish Government has the ability to take a different path, if they wish to. Michael tomlinson. Mr. Speaker, we are leaving the European Union. And as the eu withdrawal bill goes through the house of comments, does the Prime Minister agree that it is part of our job as members of our members of parliament to scrutinize that legislation . To debate, consider amendments which seek to improve the bill and which are constructed and which to which seek to ensure a smooth transition from the eu to the u. K. , and unfortunately, that we come together and deliver brexit for our country and for the british people . Prime minister. My honorable friend is right. We will be leaving the European Union in 2019 and there is a lively debate going on in this place and that is right and proper and it is important. And there are strong views held on different sides of this argument about the European Union. On both sides of this house what we are doing as a government is listening to the contributions that are being made. We are listening carefully to those who wish to improve the bill. And i hope we can all come together to deliver on the decision that the country took, that we should leave the European Union. It has been almost a year since i stood in this chamber and told my personal stories and asked for the Childrens Fund to be established. The leader the house recently as recently expressed sympathy for such a fund, and i have written to the chancellor and have urged him to include such a fund and next weeks budget. Heed thePrime Minister advice and ask her chancellor to make this provision a reality a reality . We recognize what an incredibly painful experience it is, to lose a child. And i know the whole house has our sympathy with those who do experience such a tragedy. Each year, sadly, thousands of families do that. What has happened is the look at this whole question of how we can improve support for ereavedrents four b parents. That decision has been left to the secretary of state for youth justice. We are making it easier for parents to apply for financial support. And we are also ensuring that support from across government comes together to make it easier for aggrieved parents at what we know is a very difficult time. Will Prime Minister join me in praising the work provided across the country, and can she intervene to sort out the threat . In the meantime, can she issue until that consultation is complete . We do believe they do provide Vital Services connecting people in communities and reducing isolation. I was very pleased to visit a number of weeks ago to take a ride on one of a Community Buses provided in part of my constituency. The department of transport remains committed to supporting Community Transport and has no intention of ending the permit system. Progress is excessively slow. Lets try to speak up. The Prime Minister i know is this would put 1400 jobs in a threat can i asked the under threat. Pm may i and happy to give the honorable gentleman that assurance. [indiscernible] will the Prime Minister look at medical students signing contract making a commitment to work in the nhs . Pm may this is an important issue. It mynoble friend honorable friend is right. On the specific point she raises about committing people who have been trained to work in the nhs, this is the department of health has been looking at ways in which we can maximize our investment in medical education and advance Health Education in england. The foreign secretary says he is seen no evidence of russian interference in u. K. Elections on the referendum, yet on monday the Prime Minister warned russia not to meddle in western democracy. Aday the times reports thick russian twitter account turned out thousands of messages in an attempt to influence the Eu Referendum results. Notthe foreign secretary been kept in the dark on the intelligence, has he not read it, or is he willfully blind . Will she stop dragging her feet and set up the intelligent Security Committee to look urgently into the kremlin attempts to undermine our democracy . Here, here. Pm may i spoke on monday about the issue of russian interference in elections. We have seen that taken place in a number of countries in europe. It is all very well pointing to the secretary. He made a specific point about always happening here in the United Kingdom. Look at the speech i gave on monday, that the examples of russian a difference were not in the United Kingdom. Mr. Speaker, the harmful aspects of the internet are now causing a series of social policy emergence is, particularly amongst young people. While parents across the country will welcome the engagement of the secretary with the industry on these issues, could the Prime Minister tell us when we can expect legislation with real teeth that recognizes that our children only have one chance at childhood . Pm may by honorable friend, i know this has taken a particular interest in this issue. For young people on the internet as he says, it is so necessary. We are considering a range of options on this issue. Last month we published our internet safety strategy. We are consulting on a number of measures like a social media code of rectus, social media levy, and transparency of practice, social media levy, and transparency. Prime minister, in the past have been fatally stabbed in my constituency. This is part of an increase in Violent Crime of 20 in the last year. Since 2009, we have lost over 7000 frontline staff. That includes 1700 frontline staff. 82 million how will you use the budget to adjust the publics right to expectation of more police on the street . All, of coursef the thoughts of the whole house are with those who have been injured and stabbed in the way the honorable lady has referred to. Of course we are concerned about criminal acts of this sort that take place. The question, as i said earlier in other inches, we have been budget, and ofce course we do see a higher percentage of Police Officers now actually on the frontline. A in july 2016 a man arrived from romania. Three weeks later he held a shard of glass to the throat of a 14yearold schoolgirl outside a local School Market and raped her. He was sentenced to nine years and president. And the Prime Minister explain what this government is doing to prevent dangerous individuals from entering our country, and can she asked sure can she a sure that brexit will not result can she assure that brexit will not result in weakening security . I can assure him that in this specific case, we will be pursuing actions against the individual. The home secretary will be writing to him with details. Shortly. About the wider point continued work we have an partnership and cooperation we will have once we have left the European Union. I am very clear that we want to maintain that cooperation on security and criminal justice and more important matters. Poverty action group recently published figures Single Parents with children stand to lose on annum. 2380 pounds per i would ask the Prime Minister, she is sitting down with her government ministers planning an absolute is a thracian of singleparent is this a ration even this a ration ceration of singleparent families. Pm may i believe the introduction of universal credit is very important in helping people get to work on helping more people get to work, and also ensuring that people can earn more of what they pay. Of course we look at the limitation in the impact that implementation is having. We have made a number of changes in the way it is being of limited. Universal credit itself is the right thing to do in that it is enabling more people with recent events in zimbabwe and total electoral chaos in kenya, will be promised her join me in celebrating the successful elections in somalia for the help of our country a peaceful, transparent, and fair elections. Pm may my honorable friend raises an important issue. This government is pleased at the work we have done with the government in some ali a in somalia, and we continue to do that. I am very pleased to hear of the intention to deal with female genital mutilation. This is an important issue raised by a number of members across this house. We want to see it dealt with not just in a somalia, but here in the United Kingdom as well. A couple in my constituency have had their application for universal credit delayed because the mother doesnt have any photo idea photo id. For a dentist and a doctor to provide identification. While the Prime Minister step in , show some common sense, and legacy identification from Legacy Benefits over to universal credit so these unnecessary delays dont give my constituents more painandsuffering . Pm may i am sure she will appreciate that it is important in dealing with these benefits that we and sure those who are we insure these benefits go to the people who are receiving them and that we look at how we are implementing universal credit, and i am sure that if she would care to write the point she is making to the secretary, we will look at it. Businesses in the front line of to leave the European Union. Will the government consider earmarking at least one billion pounds in the upcoming budget to make sure we are ready on day one, deal or no deal, and prepare for every single eventuality . Pm may i think my honorable friend for his question. Obviously in his constituency this issue of preparation for the position when we leave the European Union is very tightly felt. Theres a great focus on it, and i appreciate why that is the case. We have artie made Funds Available for the we have already made Funds Available integration for brexit, and of course we will be looking at what further work is necessary to ensure we are ready. We hope we are going to get a good deal, and we are working to get that good deal, but either way there will need to be some changes, and we are compared to do that. Prepared to do that. A the brexit secretary gave pledge in the city that freedom of movement would be preserved for bankers and other members of the Financial Services industry. Why cant the same pledge beginning to other key economic sectors like manufacturing and agriculture . We are very clear about the need to ensure we take into account the needs of our economy. Weve asked the Advisory Committee to look into this issue and make recommendations to the government. Given the recent events in the zimbabwe, what support cap her majestys government provide zimbabwewe is best to to zimbabweans . Pm may my honorable friend raises an important point. Weve all seen what has been taking place in harare. The situation is still fluid and we would urge restraint on all sides because we want to see come and we would call for an avoidance of violence. Our primary concern is of the safety of british nationals in zimbabwe. The uncertain political situation, we do see reports of unusual military activity, so we would recommend british nationals in harare to remain safely at home until the situation becomes clearer. On the point my honorable friend has specifically made, providing support to zimbabwe is to support economic reform and develop it just as he said. Next week will mark six months since the tragic attack at the manchester arena. For the Prime Minister join me once again paying tribute to all of those who responded so brilliantly to the aftermath . The Prime Minister will also be well in excess of 17 Million Pounds, costs which the government agreed to meet. As of today to have yet to be reimbursed. Would she get a clear and categorical in the that these moneys will be reimbursed at the earliest opportunity . Pm may our thoughts continue to be with those who were affected by this terrible attack that took place in manchester. I myself, as well as meeting some of the victims immediately after the attack, also met some of the victims of those who were involved a matter of weeks ago and talked to them about the longlasting impact this has on them. She has raised an important issue. When i can say to her is coming relation to this funding, i would expect that reform to the majority of funds being made available. The Prime Minister represents the constituency in the greenbelt, so will she ensure the house the government will never weaken protection for the greenbelt . Pm may we have been very clear about our position in relation to greenbelt, and indeed we have reconcerned that where we will very clear about that too. We do want to see more homes being built in this country. It is important we see more homes being built in london. There are many opportunities to do that. Earlier in the year the Prime Minister told the country that she was the only person that could offer strong and stable leadership in the national interest. With her cabinet crumbling before our eyes, can she tell us now . Let me say to the right honorable lady what we see this government delivering. A spoke about some of the things earlier. ,eficit down, unemployment down and a government determined with a clear path set out in my speech to deliver the best brexit deal for this country. She is the number of a party that cant even define what it wants from brexit, let alone she is a member of a party that cant even find what it wants from brexit, let alone set a path forward. In preparing to embrace the world when it comes to trade through the pto rules, will she the wto rthe w ules, will she pleaded not will she please will she please ignore the defeatists . We have a partnership with the remaining eu 27 to astinue to see good trade far as possible between companies here in the United Kingdom and those in the eu 27. We also want trade deals around the rest of the world to ensure we taking the advantages of the opportunities those trade gives. Being good neighbors, the Prime Minister from maidenhead, we would like to present our attitude to the Prime Minister and half of her cabinet for having come to my aid recently to help increase our majority from seven to 17,000. We could not have done it without you. Unions in my constituency feel very agreed that various government announced initiatives have little or no progress. The connection of a train line between flour and windsor has now been deferred. Order. I am trying to be accommodating to be called im trying to be accommodating to colleagues. One sentence and a . At the end of it and a question mark at the end of it. Will it be treated as a priority matter that is dealt with immediately . Pm may i am pleased to say to the honorable gentleman we are putting significant sums of money into transport infrastructure and rail infrastructure, electrifying the Great Western mainline to be a benefit to maidenhead. Finally, ian stewart. Mr. Speaker, will the Prime Minister join me in welcoming the decision by the people of australia to vote in favor of samesex marriage, and does she share my thoughts of the government austria of australia will follow the lead set by this house . Pm may i am very happy to welcome that vote in australia. I was proud, and other colleagues were, we passed legislation in this house to enable samesex marriage here in the United Kingdom. I hope the Australian Government will indeed act. Thank you. Order. [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy.
