Begin by saying we condemn the attack on Iraqi Military bases hosting Kurdish Forces. Iran should not repeat these reckless and dangerous attacks but must instead pursue urgent deescalation. The thoughts of the house are also with our friends in australia as they tackle the bushfires, and the families of those killed in the Ukrainian Air crash. This morning i had ministers with ministerial colleague and others, i shall have further meetings later today. Martyr neural disease is a terrible terminal illness with a third of people dying within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis. The last thing people should be worrying about our their finances. The script 6 Months Campaign by them motor neural Disease Association based in my constituency has managed to bring the important issue of payments to those with terminal illnesses to the 4 and i welcome the pension review the special rules for terminal illness since last july. I asked the primus to to join me in completing the review and scrapping 6 months. Mister speaker i would like to pay tribute to my honorable friend who is suffering motor neural disease which is a terrible illness and do everything we can to assure the welfare system works for sufferers of that illness and that is how the pensions are looking at how they can change the way we help people nearing the end of their life with the most severe conditions including motor neural disease and i am sure the secretary of state will be only too be happy to meet my honorable friend at the early meeting. The leader of the opposition, jeremy corbin. I would like to start by paying tribute to Andrew Miller who sadly died on christmas eve. He sadly lost to the house, spent 20 years here, was an expert on science and technology, made any of his contribution to this house, our thoughts are with his family and friends. He is mourned on the side of the house of the contribution he made. I also join the Prime Minister in sending sympathy and support to friends in australia, with the loss of human life, hundreds of millions of animals have been destroyed as a result of this. This is a warning of what Global Warming does to all of us. We have to take is very very seriously, the threat of Climate Change and i join the Prime Minister with our thoughts going to the friends and family of those who died in the ukrainian plane that crashed in tehran last night. Mister speaker following last nights attack on United States bases in iraq can the Prime Minister confirm that he opposes any further retaliation escalation in violence in a situation where the region is in real risk of going into a fullscale war . Of course i can confirm that and point out that the United Kingdom is working solidly since the crisis began, to bring together in particular our european allies in their response and the house, the e3 declaration from germany and the United Kingdom, in which we drew attention to the baleful role played in the region for a very long time by soleimani. The view is not shared by the right honorable gentlemen. He hasnt raised that narrative. Following the governments support to the United States over the assassination of general soleimani is the Prime Minister confident the United Kingdom troops and civilians are not at further risk in the region and beyond . I can confirm the important question that as far as we can tell there were no casualties sustained by the us and now british personnel were injured in the attacks and we are doing everything we can to protect uk interests in the region with hms defender and montrose with readiness to protect shipping in the gulf, and for defense we relocated nonessential personnel from baghdad and we will do everything we can to prevent an escalation. The government is sympathetic to the assassination of soleimani. What evidence that this attack on him and his death was not an illegal act by the United States . Clearly the strict issue of legality is not for the uk to determine since it was not our operation but our most reasonable people would accept the United States has a right to protect its bases and personnel and i would remind the house the individual concerns that soleimani among other things, arming the who the houthis and hezbollah which they used to attack innocent civilians, sustaining the assad regime, one of the most brutal in the world and improvising expose of devices to terrorists who im afraid killed and maimed british troops. That man has the blood of british troops on his hand . If we stand by International Law as im sure the government does and would want to then surely killing somebody in a foreign territory is an illegal act and should be condemned as such. If we believe in International Law that should be the solution to the problem and as a permanent member of the Security Council, as a permanent member of the Security Council could the government say what representation has been made to ensure that the iranian officials that want to attend the Security Council to bring about a resolution to the dangerous situation in the region will be allowed to attend in the event of the Us Administration blocking them what representation will he make to donald trump to make sure the un can operate in a way that should and must be able to operate . The right honorable gentlemen is well aware that the United States has a duty to allow people to visit the un and that is the position the uk supports. Iraqi parliament passed a resolution calling for foreign troops to leave their country. Can the Prime Minister confirm that the bridge government will respect any decision made by Sovereign Parliament in iraq that may make such a request in the future and will respect and will respect the sovereignty of iraq at the United Nations . Mister speaker, the house could imagine i have spoken extensively to our friends around the world including our friends in baghdad, many people in iraq have come to depend on the support of Kurdish Forces and there is a significant nato mission in iraq at the moment helping in the fight against isis and it is my wish, to do everything we can to support the security and integrity of the iraqi people. The government respecting the sovereignty of iraq and its government and the Prime Minister did not answer the question. And the risk of a dangerous conflict, and uk troops and nationals at risk of leaving the Iran Nuclear Deal in danger of being dead in the water. The government response not looking to put the interest of the Country First but more interested in prioritizing the Prime Ministers relationship with donald trump over the security of the region in this country. Isnt it true, mister speaker, that this Prime Minister is unable to stand up to donald trump, to a trade deal with the United States and that prioritizes Everything Else . I was kind of waiting for little green men to come out at the end of that and the trade deal and this is absolute fiction. And to bring together a European Response in bridging, working with the iranians and iraqis to dial this down but there should be no doubt and the leader of the opposition, Iranian Press tv and we are determined to guarantee everything we can with safety and security of the people of iraq, he would disband nato and continue to stick up for the people across the middle east who suffered at the hands of soleimani and the Iranian Revolutionary guard who is terrorism he promoted and i am very surprised at the end of these exchanges he is yet to condemn these. In the last ten years in volumes of reports, independent reviews r learning disabilities or challenging behavior, there were 7 such reports. As we start a new decade will my right honorable friend say how many people feel trapped and instructed parliament to act on those recommendations, these very Vulnerable People can get the care they need . The passionate campaign she wages, the current number is 2190 which is unacceptable but is moving down, the secretary told me the numbers coming down. We have a pledge to reduce it by 50 . Im sure we will meet very shortly. Can i welcome you and all members of staff, with remarks for the Prime Minister and the Ukrainian Airline crash, we want to see a reason of deforts get us to a better place. Prime minister, who should determine the future of scotland . The Prime Minister or the people who live in scotland . The answer is clear, the people of scotland who voted decisively only five years ago tuesday members of the most successful Political Partnership in history by a decisive majority in a once in a generation choice. Mister speaker, this is about democracy. In 2016 the people of scotland voted to remain in the European Union yet they are being dragged out against their will by this Prime Minister. In 2019 the people of scotland elected a majority of mps, the election and the Prime Minister who lost more than half his seats in scotland. Today the Scottish Parliament will decline consent for deliberating later. Why is this conservative government dismissing the will of the people of scotland, ignoring their voice and disregarding our parliament . The real question is why does the s p keep going on about breaking up the most Successful Union in history . To distract from their abundant failures in government. In spite of getting extra 9,000,000,000 pounds a year from the uk exchequer which they would lose if they broke away, they are mismanaging their healthcare and you are seeing them fall behind. Concentrate on what you are doing and stop going on about breaking up the union. Does the Prime Minister agree at the heart of our one nation government is manifest commitment, Strong Society needs strong families. After last weeks 165,000,000 pound boost to extend the triple Families Program will the private or outline how the government will additionally fulfill our manifesto pledge to champion family help and i quote from our manifesto, serve vulnerable families with the integrated support they need to claire for our children. I paid tribute to my honorable friend, thanks to her we put family homes in the manifesto. Being no doubt we are working now with local authorities to champion. It appears so much has been going to Northern Rail will Prime Minister strip them of that and also, the power and money to the regions so that local people have the power and never suffer the appalling catalog of delays, overcrowding, cancellations and disruptions that have gone on far too long . I share your outrage and understand what she is saying and we are developing contingency plans for a replacement for Northern Rail and she raises the point we are looking at the whole way the franchising system operates on a very valuable report on that. Paul holmes. My right honorable friend, an advocate of localism, what advice can you give my constituents concerned about the councils unwanted housing which would lead to even more overdevelopment, the vital infrastructure that is needed. What he says about the cavalier behavior of councils in any seat. We will make so many more homes, we will supply the infrastructure necessary. The Prime Minister is among the vision, what is his vision for the relationship between wales and england and the events of Scottish Independence . Our relationship with the whole United Kingdom will go through strength to strength. There is a track record of reaching environmental legislation and build a massive incinerator in the test valley, local residents looking for this government because of concerns, seeking reassurance from my right honorable friend the regulations on a mission to incineration will be further in the past and greener than accomplished. I see her point with great concern. As we moved to a net 0 economy by 2050 with groundbreaking conservative government it is vital to tackle that emission for the office of Environmental Protection and i will chair a new committee to drive forward action on Climate Change across the whole of government. Happy new year to you and your staff and everyone in the house. The Prime Minister knows the get brexit on slogan was vacuous and it is not even the end of the beginning with no deal firmly back on the table. Will be acknowledge any job loss and any impact on british industry are the result of his brexit policy, firmly at his door . Contrary to the predictions of the gloom, unemployment is at a record low, we put 800,000 jobs since the referendum and we will indeed get brexit done by january 30 first. Social justice, chances for opportunities, education is the key and that is why the pledge for additional funding is so well, especially the historically underfunded areas. Equally important are discipline and standards. Will prime industry ensure there is continued focus especially when it comes to vital interest and numerous skills. I paid tribute to my honorable friend. Since then it is synthetic which is done a huge amount, the only country in the g7 with disadvantaged pupils actually improved in reading since 2009. We need to do more. Margaret thatcher the union of the United Kingdom. Thank you, mister speaker. Thank you, mister speaker. Margaret thatcher, accepted that the union of the United Kingdom could only be maintained by to send. And the s p government does not have a mandate to organize an independence referendum so tell me what mechanism is available to the scottish people to give their consent for maintaining, exercising that. I can only repeat my point that the scottish people in 2015, it is a referendum and it took place and as members opposite, all concerned, devon morris. Mister speaker, you were a northern the news that more money spent in the north of england. I want to reiterate the eden project. And back in north whorom again. I heard from my right honorable friend, the chancellor. The house would know the region the eden project has become different. More than two years 4000 other low income workers across the uk who have waited 20 years for money that is rightfully theirs. There was a breakthrough to pay millions of pounds, any penny possible from those low income workers given the trust was set up as a nontasked employee ownership, does the Prime Minister think it is fear to run roughshod and meet with me to discuss this. I make the general point that we have done a huge amount to raise the burden of taxation and lifting by the biggest ever increase but my right honorable friend will discuss the particular matter he raised. In the period 20182019 overseas Companies Investing in Northern Ireland created nearly 1500 new jobs. With my right honorable friend agree with me if it were up and running again, that number would be considerably different and no stone left unturned, efforts by the Northern Ireland party to seek agreement to be properly functioning again. The uk is the third highest recipient of Foreign Investment but Northern Ireland could get more as it currently does if people took their responsibilities to get up and running again. The Scottish Affairs and Health Committee with reports under the drug crisis. Both reported through on International Evidence and recommended a change in the law for addicts to consume substances in secure facilities under medical supervision. It is a controversial area. I dont expect the Prime Minister to make policy. Will he consider on a pilot basis the establishment of Overdose Prevention centers to gather evidence as to whether this could prevent deaths in this country as it has in other countries . You raised an important issue, the question, consumption rooms without encouraging consumption and that is the challenge we face, it will be held in scotland and we will announce a day short. The other efforts. My local nhs consulting in hospital, and the proposed closure and impacts on local residents particularly those on rural communities. Are you willing to work with my secretary, and it was difficult on that side. I congratulate my honorable friend and to welcome her and all colleagues to Prime Ministers question time. I have heard just now straight down the line, and much of the rest of the country, hospital waiting times have been under constant pressure with the latest figures showing a quarter of attendance are waiting to be seen. The government made commitments to invest. The Prime Minister agreed to delegation, and the walk in sensor the raising issue with me. Does my right honorable friend share my concerns about lack of Educational Achievement about so many workingclass boys across the country, will he make a top priority to ensure all schoolchildren throughout the country are given opportunities to maximize their talents . Not only are we investing, and National Skills fund for candidates, the only help they can get. Can you detail what steps in working with germany and france to restore the Iran Nuclear Deal since he was appointed Prime Minister . He knows about the review, the best way of preventing a Nuclear Proliferation in iran and encouraging iran not to develop a Nuclear Weapon and we think after the crisis abated, it was avoided, put substance again. In recent months the performance of west midland rails from my constituents or constituents across the region has been absolutely woeful. Will he agree about westminsters mayor, with an inspection, and keep that franchise taken away. With the performances across the rail network, looking at the whole issue and the bell is tolling if i hear my honorable friend correctly. With the hammer, and demand it, nothing compared with a mandate to won by my colleagues here when 45 popular vote and 8 of the seats, i remind you is unassailable. To deliver on that mandate, the Scottish Government has another one ready, 2. 2, those discussions again. I have given this answer a couple times. The people of scotland had a chance to decide and decided emphatically they were remaining in the uk and i think i think that decision, that decision should be respected. Can i welcome the commitment to invest across the country, this is particularly welcome one of the poorest parts of the uk. Can the Prime Minister confirm we will continue to be at the heart of his governments plans to invest in the regions of the country . I can confirm that. My honorable friend and i discussed and receive all of that through shared prosperity and we will do extraordinary things to improve and the nhs as well. We will be there. The final question comes up. In 2005, my constituent stephen gallons, did a bad thing for which he is serving a life sentence, but on the 20 ninth of november was the third man on london bridge, he wrestled the knife willing knife wielding murderous terrorist to the ground so Police Marksman could shoot him dead. Stephen is rightly serving life in prison. Will the Prime Minister congratulate and pay tribute to stephen for his bravery that day which no doubt saved lives . I thank the honorable gentlemen, i have admiration for the bravery of stephen galan and others who went to the assistance of members of the public on that day and thought a very determined terrorist.
