Thank you. I am sure the whole house will want to join me in wishing the England Football Team the best against norway tomorrow. Mister speaker, mister speaker, this morning my Office Hosted a reception to mark Armed Forces Reserve day and this coming saturday we celebrate 40s day, an opportunity for us all to pay tribute to our service men and women here and around the world, education and service and those who served in previous generations. This morning i have meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. Later my chancellor and i will travel to japan to the g 20 leaders summit. With the threat of Climate Change putting future generations that risk, vile terrorist propaganda spreading online and rising tensions in the gulf this summit is an opportunity to address global challenges affecting all our nations. Is thousand for people demonstrating outside will tell you tackling Climate Change and biodiversity make the world safer, more beautiful and sustainable for our children and grandchildren. Does the Prime Minister agree one of the first acts of the next Prime Minister should be urgently a new environment and Climate Change bill putting in place all the recommendations of the committee on Climate Change to meet carbon 0 making the world a more beautiful place . Can i say to the honorable lady we are introducing the environmental, we introduced a 25 year environment plan, the first time any government has done that. We committed to net 0 emissions i 2050. That has gone through this house but the question she needs to think about is why the labour party is trying to block the net 0 thank you, mister speaker. One of the biggest restraints on a positive economy is lack of progress, following the rejection of the yorks proposal does the Prime Minister agree with me that we need to have a more local approach out of the big urban centers. Can i say to my honorable friend i recognize as we do across government, and the potential seen for the sense of identity with yorkshire. And in its businesses. The Community Secretary has met with yorkshire leaders, discussions continuing about different approaches to the evolution and initials having those, and interested in hearing their ambitions. Jeremy corbin. Thank you, mister speaker. I hope the house will welcome todays mask climate lobby. This house became the First Parliament to declare a Climate Emergency. I pay tribute to the young people and young climate strikers who have done so much to weigh this issue. I hope members will take a chance today to meet those coming to lobby to learn from them because they feel passionately on the issue and i acknowledge the celebration going on this week, concerned about the welfare serving and former serving members of our armed forces. I probably join the Prime Minister for reaching the quarterfinal of the womens world cup and mister speaker, i welcome judgment of the court of appeals against uk arms sales to saudi arabia. The court found the government had, quote, made no concluded assessment whether the Saudi Led Coalition committed violations of International Humanitarian law during the yemen conflict and make no attempt to do so. Does the Prime Minister dispute that finding . We continue to operate one of the most robust regimes in the world and we take our response ability on arms exports very seriously. In the words of the 2017 judgment the government engaged in anxious scrutiny at what seems like anguished scrutiny at some stages. We are disappointed the court found against government of one ground and we will be seeking permission to appeal this judgment. Mister speaker, the germany as a eu member state in saudi arabia, so is denmark and the us senate and house of representatives voters arms exports as well. The un describes the situation in yemen as humanitys biggest preventable disaster and the government, in that situation. Can i ask the Prime Minister a simple question. Does she believe there are serious ongoing violations of humanitarian law by saudi arabia in yemen . The right honorable gentlemen knows we consider these issues very carefully when we are dealing with these armed export licenses. It was just quoted by the court but references the situation in yemen. This cannot go on. I would remind the right honorable gentlemen, the intervention at the request of the legitimate president of yemen following a rebel insurgency which overthrew the internationally recognized government and the intervention was acknowledged by the United Nations is my right honorable friend the foreign secretary held a human quote meeting on saturday expressing concerns of escalating tension but what do we see the labour party do . Rebel leaders of the insurgency into the house of commons yet again on the wrong side of the argument. The Prime Minister doesnt appear to understand the depth of feeling at the un, parliament around the world and even the u. S. Senate and the house in the situation. The un itself is warned by the end of 2019 if the war continues, 230,000 people would have lost their lives, 140,000 of which are children under the age of 5. The uk and eu law states the government must, quote, not grant a license if there is a clear risk the items used might be used in commission of a serious violation of International Humanitarian law. The government said they used the following criteria to judge that, quote, an understanding of saudi military procedures continuing engagement with saudis at the highest level and saudi public commitments to International Humanitarian law so if the saudi government does that, do we ignore all evidence on the ground in the eminent continue to sell weapons to this regime which has led to this appalling death toll already in this conflict . We are seeking to appeal the judgment, whether the government made the right or wrong decision and the decisionmaking process. And alongside permission to appeal the we are seeking and why we do this we cant grant new licenses for saudi arabia, used in conflict in yemen. Lets remember what happened . It was the overflow of internationally recognized government by rebel insurgents. We are all concerned, we are all concerned, we are all concerned about the humanitarian situation in yemen. The foreign secretary might like an area of concern to her remix to listen to what the government is doing. Order questions must be heard and the answers must be heard. The Prime Minister. We are all concerned about the humanitarian situation in yemen. Thats why since the start of the conflict in 2015 our total commitment to yemen stands at 770 Million Pounds. One of the major contributors to support the military effort. And in a political settlement, we are supporting the efforts of special envoy. Was the government appealing the judgment instead of promoting a peace settlement in yemen . Since 2016, mister speaker, for three years United Nations experts have been saying the Saudi Coalition violated International Humanitarian law in yemen and this campaign injured and displaced many more. The government says there can be no military solution to this particular conflict that can only be negotiated and political solution. If thats the case why have they pumped 4. 6 billion pounds of military equipment into this brutal bombardment already. In answer to the first question, the only way it was through a political settlement. And this government is supporting the work that is being done by the special envoy martin griffith, we use our diplomatic efforts including the foreign secretary holding that on saturday to encourage others around the table and the parties to the conflict to implement the Stockholm Agreement and that is in a and part of the process leading to peace and a political solution. And the next round of peace talks, the humanitarian supply line can be opened up. Surely the government should think on this and stop sales of arms to saudi arabia. Just last week the un special reporter said there is credible evidence the Saudi Crown Prince and other highlevel officials are personally responsible for the horrific murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Does the Prime Minister accept that assessment . We do want to see account ability for this murder. I raised the death of Jamal Khashoggi with mohammed bin selman at the summit and the crown prince at the g 20 last year. I stressed the important of those responsible being held to account of due process being followed. We expect saudi arabia to take the action necessary to ensure such violations cant happen again. The right way to take this is through judicial process and we are closely following the continuing investigation and expect it to proceed in line with international standards. There is overwhelming evidence that war crimes have been committed in yemen by Saudi Arabian forces. A debate that flouts every human rights norms at home and abroad. If they believe they can kill with impunity journalists, yemenis or by iranians, it funds extremism around the world but the uk has supplied them with for the half billion pounds worth of deadly weapons, uk weapons used in indiscriminate attacks on civilians in which over 200,000 people have been killed. Hundreds of thousands more stand on the brink of famine, starvation and death from holy preventable diseases. Surely, mister speaker, the court of appeal judgment should be a wakeup call to the Prime Minister and the government. Instead of appealing the judgment why not accept the judgment and stop arms sales to saudi arabia and bring about peace in yemen and save those lives . The right honorable gentlemen says to me bring about peace in yemen. It is exactly what we are working with International Partners to do through the United Nations and the right honorable gentlemen is talking about the relations we have with saudi arabia. That is a relationship that has saved lives of british citizens in the past but lets look at the relationships the right honorable gentlemen when people wrote his sympathies were with russia. When terrorists were killing, when terrorists were killing our people his sympathies were with the ira. And the reason take her attacks in the gulf is these were with iran. He never backed britain and could never be Prime Minister. Mister bradley. The answer to so many issues have a huge role to play in my constituency but there are other qualifications. Review of these qualifications, funding has been delayed in the system. If it is not secured, these qualifications are dropped from 2020 and the funding signed up immediately to continue to train an amazing youth worker. My honorable friend raised the importance of the proper training of these issues, we are committed to qualify and train the youth sector. And committing funding for these qualifications and reviewing the curriculum. They are in close contact with the National Youth agency and aware of timing issues and how to make an announcement on this in the future. He and blackburn. The remarks of the Prime Minister with the reservists. Im happy to support the Prime Minister has left an offer and will do what she can to secure i hope the trimester will join us outside parliament in support of the Climate Justice activism. The Scottish Government was first government in the uk to declare Climate Emergency and i hope the uk response to leadership on this issue. Do or die, come what may. Those are the words of the trimesters likely successor. In those words, to drag us out of the European Union no matter what the cost. Prime minister, before you exit office, willing to impose devastating no deal brexit on all of us . I remind the honorable gentlemen he is due to ask about my responsibilities and Prime Minister and i would remind him as Prime Minister i voted 3 times in this house to assure we could take the uk and the European Union, this deal goes to the whole of the United Kingdom and he voted effectively for no deal. Ian blackburn. Now wonder she was leaving, there was no answer to the question. The Prime Minister on the one hand the tories are asking people, the most incompetent foreign secretary in a century. A man who has spent a career out of line, spend his week avoiding the media and the extreme delusion on the other hand we have the most incompetent Health Secretary in our history, a man privatizing for 30 years. [shouting] the right honorable gentlemen concluded his inquiry. Order order if he hasnt he needs to do so in a single sentence. Mister cowan you are a wellintentioned fella but i require no counsel for you. One sentence, we have a lot to get through. Mister blackburn. Will she finally act in the best interests of these islands . And neither of the candidates for office should ever be elected Prime Minister. Can i say to the honorable jensen gentlemen, either one does a better job than anybody sitting on that. [shouting] welcome in this house i welcome the announcement of the Prime Minister. And update the house, how she feels so they enable more people with disabilities and Health Conditions to play a full part in our society. Can i think my honorable friend for the work she did as minister for disabled people which set a lot of groundwork for what we made on a disability strategy. Many people in our society would like to get into the workplace and one of the key issues on that strategy is support for people to enable them to take their knowledge to society to get to the workplace to ensure access to the support they need. And 950,000, thanks to actions of the conservatives in the disability strategy set up have to do that and enables people to save a full role in society. Every Infrastructure Projects requires british made steel. Contracts the next 5 years alone are worth 1 billion pounds and if the Council Still works. Will the Prime Minister guarantee a month from now the steelworks will still be open. We are concerned about a conversation in relation to the working relation to british steel, engaging actively in the official receiver has responsibility. And to meet with authorities. And still interest to talk about the real impact of closure of works, that is why we are working actively to make sure we retain these areas. I need to give back any day now. And across party mps delivering the proxy voting scheme which enable my constituents to be represented during my maternity leave. 17yearold ruby lloyd, and they work to school and road safety, hundreds of local residents support her campaign, headmistress support their campaign and will my right honorable friend get behind rubys campaign. Can i first say to my honorable friend we wish her the very best and can i also say that i have certain satisfaction with a little role in ensuring she got married and on the issue she referred to, it is good to see young people caring about their local area and campaigning for their local area and children to go to school to save the environment is an issue for the local Authority Like we would like to rest ruby the best on her campaign. Universal credit is causing great hardship in my constituency and driving up increasing values, making people worse off and people in work worse off. In their final weeks in office will react to halt the rollout of this failed policy or will she simply leave this injustice burning . I say to the honorable gentlemen what lay behind universal credit is changing the legacy system we inherited from the labour party where over 1 Million People were left on benefits for nearly a decade. What universal credit does is help people into work and insurers when they are in work they are able to earn more. 200,000 more people in work. 1 million disabled people getting more money as a result of universal credit, 7000 getting credit they are entitled to. As a result of universal credit. One angeles organization of 250,000,005 for the new Indoor Tennis Center to open up to 3 million more people across the uk. Can i say to my honorable friend in a timely fashion raising this issue, i wish the best to all the british players in wimbledon, i congratulate marie for his win in the doubles of queens. I understand there is an exhibition taking place in parliament today, taking part in that, good for young people having that experience and that opportunity and i welcome the lga which is directing funding across the whole country where it is needed most to grow the sport from the grassroots up. Thank you, mister speaker. A recent polling in the conservative party shows an astounding level of racism. Almost 50 polled would not want to see a muslim primacy. Only 8 said if there was one, 67 believe the muslim communities, 8 of 10 dont think this is a problem. In light of this, as one of her final acts of her premiership will Prime Minister agreed to commission an external inquiry into islamohphobia in her increasingly nazi party . I say to the honorable gentlemen we take allegations of islamohphobia seriously in the conservative party. Every allegation is properly investigated. The chairman of the conservative party takes such action, weve seen people suspended from the party, we have seen people excluded from the party. And i say to the honorable dental and it is a threat contrast to the way the labour party is. It is easier to because out of the labour party for voting liberal democrat than for being antisemitic. There is a risk complex conflicts thousands of miles away can appear simple at westminster. Does my right honorable friend share my concern the leader of the opposition did not mention human rights work last week, essential war crime, targeting civilian targets in saudi arabia and this recently suspended in those areas, it has been diverted to enrich houthi forces. It is it best to recognize the horrors of 4 on all sides, getting behind efforts of advancing britain to see peace in yemen and bring this conflict to a end . I think my honorable friend with his experience in the foreign office, he has seen the complexities of these issues. He is absolutely right. It is important we look at what is happening in yemen and recognize actions the houthis have been taking a. It is important to have both sides around the table to make sure we can get that agreed peace settlement and find supporting martin griffith, the special envoy, his efforts to bring the parties around the table. He references the humanitarian aid. The extent of humanitarian aid, one of the great problems we have had to address is the way in which it is not possible to get that aid to the people who need it most, not because of our inability but because of the insurgents, the way the houthis are presenting that aid get to the people who need it most. Brexit uncertainty is hitting people in my constituency and local managing directors told me no deal would be catastrophic for them so their exports to europe, one put workers on short time working already temporarily. Though the Prime Minister accept her government i included the statement, a catastrophic no deal brexit on the outcome. I wanted to deliver brexit with a deal. I brought a deal to this house and the Honorable Navy and her colleagues voted 3 times against that deal. Andrew griffin. On monday, 160 years of Food Production ended with the announcement of the closure of the holy food plant in my constituency affecting 900 jobs. The Prime Minister will have great sympathy for all those workers concerned about their future pipe, paying their mortgage and their families. Will she commit to across Department Task force to try to ensure we not only get those people back to work but find a new use for that plant . Is my honorable friend says this will be a worrying time for all the employees and their families. I understand ministers for all Business Energy and industrial strategy are speaking to my honorable friend to discuss the situation and they will work with deborah and Housing Communities and local government to explore various options and work closely with businesses and local partners to ensure those affected are well supported and the need to explore options for the future. Our thoughts are with those who are concerned at this time. J stevens. 7yearold italian, the daughter of my constituent was abducted by her father and taken to libya in 2012. The father returned here and she remains in libya with his mother. He was jailed or released in 2017 and has absconded and has not reported to the home office. All legal avenues have been exhausted and she is really desperate. Will Prime Minister please use every channel available during her final weeks in office to secure thalias return . Obviously she has outlined this case in the house and this is a matter that is looked into properly by department concern. On the yemen saudi catastrophe that is taking place is the case britain should move to a position of far greater neutrality purporting comprehensive ceasefire, and absolutely right to condemn the attacks should we not also consent and concern ourselves with the nightly bombings that are killing innocent civilians and radicalizing tens of thousands of young humans . We have supported the efforts that have been made for a ceasefire, we supported those efforts in the data, an important port getting humanitarian relief in but this is why it is so important we continue to work with our International Partners to bring about that ceasefire, to enable the party to come around the table to get the political settlement which is the only way to ensure the future security and stability of human on friday a 14yearold girl with autism in learning disability was placed in a secure Mental Health unit 150 miles from home. Their parents are trying to scrape together the money to find temporary accommodation there. Does the Prime Minister not agree we really need decent facilities so children dont have to go through this . A very important point, the emphasis we ought to take in the National Health service on dealing with Mental Health and improving this is a part of this. We are looking, i held a roundtable looking at the outcomes of the review we had on Mental Health act where these issues about the types of circumstances in which people were being provided for was raised and it is something the nhs is looking at carefully and we are insuring there is funding available for facilities to be provided. Mary robinson. Those who traveled elsewhere, the Climate Change lobby. With this commitment to a net 0 target by 2050 the Prime Ministers shows we are leading the way. As we leave the eu will she urge her successor to put the environment at the heart of brexit negotiations . I think my honorable friend for raising this issue and also congratulate constituents for coming to westminster to discuss this important issue. The government has made a major step by legislating for net 0. I hope the labor efforts to stop this in the house of lords will not be successful so we can ensure that legislation is signed and we will make every effort as leave the European Union working with our partners and others to ensure we put this at the forefront of the right approach taken. I appreciate the Prime Minister is distracted by the intoxicating emotion of eminent freedom but while she is still running the country could she spare a thought for the 1. 3 million fromohs in our nation, pensioner household missing out . Will the primus to be aware that excellent charity, actually seeking to support the campaign for the 3. 5 million and claim pensioner benefits according to dwps figures. Will the Prime Minister agree with me that this 3. 5 million should not be left in the coffers of the treasury but should go to the provost . I think the honorable gentlemen for his question which was put with his normal natural theatricality in the chamber. The exchequer will have heard the question he has put. We want to ensure people are entitled to benefits are in receipt of those benefits but i would also say to the honorable gentlemen this government can be proud of the record of what we have done through the triple lock and various other ways so pensioners are 1600 pounds a year better under this government. The lobby is about sustainability but there can be no Economic Health nor communal wellbeing while soulless supermarkets make faces ubiquitous with department and growers and the internet drought crushes their small competitors. Can you use the track system to redistribute power away from those heartless soulless corporates, it is small and eclectic and in particular. Mister speaker, as you know, schumacher said small is beautiful. My right honorable friend make an important point about the importance of Small Businesses, the importance of local independent shops. We went to see those businesses supported which is why we have taken steps in relation to business rates. It is also why those who are concerned about the way the internet is being used to undermine those Small Businesses in terms of retail environment we are taking action in relation to those digital companies. The conservative Party Leadership candidates tour the country after unicorns the primus to may think about her legacy. Will the primus to listen and act on the reasonable demand of all those affected by other issues and commit to fund those eventual buildings and others where Vulnerable People live or work, give clarity on installation and external building insulation and fund Brexit Services and set up a housing regulator with piece . The public may thank you for it. Obviously we are looking across the board. A number of issues have been raised as a result of terrible tragedies which we have already acted on and we are continuing to work and indicated in response to her right honorable friend, the leader of the opposition we are looking at issues like special housing. One of the many people who focus on the issue, the building standards, it was the fact that peoples voices were not being heard from social housing. That is a particular concern and ensuring we have the right approach in relation to regulation is important and on sprinklers the recommendation was not for every property over a certain height should have sprinklers retrofitted and it is important to be clear about that. Thank you, mister speaker. On 15 may, my right honorable friend welcomed a decision to allow a drug, the spinal Muscular Atrophy we thought to my grandson and mrs. Ogborn. And has written to mrs. Are born to say they accept the new strategy that appeared on nices website was not clear enough. My constituents grandson did not receive this drug. To ensure he has done it and a bureaucratic plan does not do that. Before the house before the constituent and looked into, nice says it is available, obviously it stands down. It will not be debated again before summer recess, it will be debated. You can be certain of that. A bbc scotland documentary on cannabis, the chair said that the nhs would not change lifechanging ethical coverage triple up the children by saying even if you prescribe the product the nhs isnt going to pay for it. Is his statement correct, Prime Minister . I answered questions on this including from the honorable lady. Government changed the law, the General Medical Council with cannabis based products with benefit. The chief medical officer made it clear cannabis based products can be prescribed for medicinal use in appropriate cases that we need to trust doctors to make clinical decisions in the best interest of patients. Mister speaker. On thursday i was able to describe the barbaric treatment my father in law received before his death. It shows the influence of this chamber that ive been contacted by many people around the country who are talking about similar issues and i have been contacted by a resident of barbados, the practice that goes on are more horrific. The Relevant Departments of government set up so i may inquire how this works to shut this man down and make sure what happened to my fatherinlaw cannot happen to anyone else. I remember the conversation when this happened in relation to his fatherinlaw and the terrible tragedy that took place. I will make sure the Proper Department can sit down with him and explore the issue he has raised. Figures released today show 973 Million Pounds worth of arrears owed under Child Maintenance service and cms continues to be worse than its bite. The uk government must attract nonpayment of maintenance to children. The primus to agree to launch a root and branch review of cms to ensure a new strategy where maintenance payments are properly enforced and to let these children who in many cases because of lack of maintenance payments . The honorable lady is right. We want to ensure those maintenance payments are indeed made to those children, people can in some cases, do they take their responsibilities seriously and recognize their responsibilities . This is a difficult area for many years made by different governments to ensure we get this right and that those making these payments are made. Im sure every member of this house had constituency cases in relation to this issue. The system that was brought in in recent years has been working better than previous, it ensures the department, Relevant Department that she raised. My constituency, many are tied up and tethered by the roadside, maltreated often without access to food and water. Will the primus to work to end the suffering of these useful animals and amend the current acts of code of practice for welfare forces so what the powers are and what the future of local authorities are. Will she urge the rsp easier to treat this as a major concern . The honorable gentleman has raised an issue that is important. I will certainly ensure the Department Look for the issue that he raised about the definition of the legislation and i hope the rsp ca would consist seriously, and the delay for my constituency. He is 44 years old and the general mathematician, tiny and physical stature but giant by any qualities that matter. Does the Prime Minister share my hope that funding for basic research will be increased. And can i say to the honorable gentleman he has raised a very bad case, fool of great stuff has been cut short and our thoughts and prayers are with the family for individual concerned. And in relation to brain tumors, this is an important area on which my right honorable friend, the former house secretary started with work being done in the nhs. And thoughts and prayers are with all that affected by this case. One in two in the uk develop cancer in their lifetime and around 60 will require radiotherapy in their treatment. In west sussex we dont have a single line of machines. My constituents travel long distances every day for treatment and it is not only costing but when you are feeling so unwell, can the Prime Minister outline what steps the government is taking to ensure my constituents have the same access to medical care as it is in adjacent counties . I recognize the concerns the honorable lady has raised. Looking at how we deal with cancer and how we treat cancer is one of the issues in the longterm plan which the nhs is putting a focus on. I recognize the concerns of those who have to travel long distances. And it is often expensive for them. This is something to be looked at as part of the future program for the nhs. The primacy will be aware of the longstanding campaign for justice and compensation by victims of the libyan sponsored ira terrorism in Northern Ireland and the uk. Citizens have been compensated by libyan authorities. 12 billion pounds in frozen it has been recovered in tax on that money in the last 3 years. What does she undertake to use that money to help the victims and ensure special representatives being appointed will work closely with the victims to obtain justice those victims rightly deserve. The right honorable gentleman is writing raising issue about raising justice these victims deserve. These are concerns i raised with the Libyan Government in the past. I will certainly ensure the special representative makes every effort that the victims get that to wh you been watching Prime Ministers questions from the british house of commons.
