Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this morning i had a minute i had meetings with colleagues, and others in addition to my duties. I will have further meetings later today. Thank you mr. Speaker. Im shocked and angered at workers in clothing factors that are being made paid three dollars 50 cents an hour and being forced to work in totally unacceptable conditions. In the 21st century, there must be no room for exploitation and modern slavery. We must do this for the sake of the people and our planet. My question is simple, mr. Speaker, what will the Prime Minister do about it . Or speaker, this it is this conservative government that is set up laws against modern slavery. It is this conservative government that has increased the living wages and we would hope that it would be the labor mayor who would stand up for the workforce in his community. And that is what we will do. Workforce that we will do. Vital republicans. What we have, the beautiful leafy lanes but also, a major theater in the area, what i would like to know is i welcome the 1. 7 billion pound grant being given to support our theaters and performing artists. Will we see any of it had all . I can tell him. Field is at the center of our cultural life, in richfield to london in the eighteenth century, working without counsel, to support and develop what we find so dear. Mister speaker, on monday, care home tests have been so high, too many care homes didnt follow the procedures in the way that they could have. It cost huge offense to frontline care workers, it has been 48 hours. Will the Prime Minister apologize to care workers . The last thing i wanted to do is blame care workers for what has happened, to think any of them was blaming where they work incredibly hard to the crisis looking after the most Vulnerable People in the country and doing an outstanding job, they lost their lives, when it comes to taking blame i take full responsibility for what has happened. The one thing nobody knew earlier on during this pandemic was the virus was being passed a symptomatically from person to person in the way that is and that is why the guidance and procedures changed and it is thanks to the hard work of care workers with incidents in our care homes, outbreaks down in our care homes to the lowest level since the crisis began and i paid tribute to them. That is not an apology and it wont wash. Too many care homes didnt follow procedures the way they could have. It was clear the Prime Minister must understand how raw this is, who lost loved ones and yesterday, he said this. 1. 6 million social care workers to protect our parents and grandparents, putting lives at risk and get the most senior man in the country turning around and blaming them on what is been a travesty of leadership from the government. Asked the Prime Minister again will he apologize to care workers, yes or no . He keeps saying, the case that the reality is, the way the coronavirus is passed from person to person without symptoms we just didnt know. That is where we change the procedure and it was transmitted i didnt hear it at the time, whether they mattered and it was necessary to change our procedures. I want to thank our care workers for what they have done in this government will invest massively in our care homes and this government put up as i said now could put up the living wage by record amounts and that is something we could do directly to every care worker in the country. By refusing to apologize the primus to rub salt in the wounds of the very people he stood at his front door and clapped. The Prime Minister and how secretary must be the only people left in the country who think they put a protective ring around care homes. Those on the front lines know that that wasnt the case and care Home Management yesterday, absolutely livid that we didnt follow the procedures because the care assistance, nurses, everyone in the care who worked so hard and has the audacity to blame whats with the Prime Minister like to say to that care home manager. Every care home worker in the country, this government appreciates the incredible work they have done. We thank them for the work they have done and let me say further we will invest in our care homes and reform the care homes and i hope we do it on the basis of Cross Party Consensus and get a lasting problem to the difficulties many face in funding the cost of their old age, 30 years of inaction and i hope you will join us in doing it. I gently point out his government has been in power for ten years with no plan to know to reform healthcare, that is social care but ten years wasted. The reality is this. More than 19,000 care home residents of died from covid19 was a higher number when you include excess deaths. Overall around one in 20 care home residents are estimated to have died from the virus, it is chilling. These are extraordinary numbers get the Prime Minister has consistently ducked responsibility. Will he accept, it is not care workers who are to blame, it is his government. The final reading from the preprepared question without listening to the answer i have just given. I make absolutely clear this government takes responsibility for everything weve done through this crisis and i paid tribute to the work of every in the country and thank them. What we have also dennis put forward care home action plan that has helped our care workers to get the incidents of coronavirus down in every care home in the country to the lowest level is now putting in monthly testing for every resident in the care homes and weekly testing for every care home worker. Thanks to the fantastic effort if everybody involved in nhs testing and tracing and he should pay tribute to them as well. The Prime Minister continues to consult those on the front line by not taking these issues seriously. The Prime Minister must recognize huge mistakes have been made, two weeks ago, the problem with early guidance, the Prime Minister simply said it is not true. There were repeated warnings from the care sector, repeated delays with providing protective equipment, they were raised day in and day out we can and week out. It wasnt hindsight, it was real time for the frontline. And the decision to discharge 25,000 people to care homes without tests was clearly a mistake. Will the primus accept his government was too slow to act on care homes. . The right honorable gentlemen should know very well that understanding the disease changed dramatically in the months we had it. When you look at the action plan we brought in to help our care workers, would appreciate the vast amount of work, the testing they do, that has helped them to get the incidents of the disease to record lows and enabled us to get on with our work as the government in getting this country through this epidemic, getting the country back on its feet. Thats what the country wants to see how we stuck to our plan to open our economy gradually. One week he is in favor of it in the next is against it. What this country wants to see is a stable approach, that is what we are delivering. To add further insult to injury, the government approved three hospital parking for nhs workers in england. The Prime Minister will now this could cost hundreds of pounds for nurses and doctors in the support staff. We owe our nhs workers so much, we clap them, we should be rewarding them, the Prime Minister must know this is wrong, will he reconsider and roll it out. Free for nhs, we will get on with our manifesto commitment to make them free for patients who need them. This will never be the case. Parks it free somewhere else. One week is in favor of attacks, to tiptoe away from it. In his opportunism, with our agenda. The house will hear more about it. My wellknown much loved constituents, the Prime Minister will remember the moving day, tommy read out to local radio, asking to receive support, 200 million per quarter, very clear the Prime Minister appreciates their work, tommy, his brother shea, for the invaluable care they provide to people. I do indeed, and saw some sympathies, the whole house will be with that family. I would like to join shea and kelly in thanking all hospices for the incredible work they do. To scotland to visit the leader of the assembly, ian blackburn, ian blackburn. I am sure you, the Prime Minister will join me for memorial day which takes place this saturday, what is happening online, it took place 25 years ago. I associate myself with concerns about hospital parking charges, the s p government abolish them in scotland 12 years ago. The tory government is urged to do the same. Patients will not be penalized. 3. 8 Million People across the United Kingdom could face unemployment, the job detention scheme has been a lifeline to millions but we can see progress unravel as the scheme ends, millions of people could find themselves out of work struggling to pay those, will the Prime Minister commit to extending the scheme, people must not lose their jobs because the tories refused to act. Most people look at what is happening in the uk the last 3 or 4 months around the world have been impressed by the way we have put our arms around people, with jobs and incomes, it has been a massive effort. A lot of people would agree that you cannot go on forever with a scheme that keeps employees in suspended animation the way it does. We need to keep the economy moving. That is what people want to see in a sustainable and cautious way. Constantly saying the reason the Job Retention scheme worked is because of the power and efficiency of the uk treasury, the uk government that funded the scheme, 4. 8 million, or billion i should say in consequential to scotland alone. Im sure he doesnt hesitate to remind his colleagues of that. Ian blackburn will reappear. It is about the future and making sure people can be protected. We have seen the scheme into 2021. Prematurely ending the Job Retention scheme risks higher unemployment and weaker productivity with potential loss of 50 billion pounds, the resolution foundation, 325 billion pounds, hard to hit sectors, they are warning of the effect early, they are shielding in difficulties. It is an out not throwing away the benefits we have approved. The Prime Minister seems intent on sinking the lifeboat that has been keeping people afloat. The Prime Minister will not extend the scheme, to scotland, so we can do it ourselves. I answer the right honorable gentlemens question already. It is essential we not only invest, what we have done, the huge expenditure quite rightly but essential we get the economy moving in scotlands, and support that objective as well. Those but Prime Minister agree, hardworking families and undermine britains economic recovery. Absolutely right. I have been amazed to hear that labor, wealth tax on homes, same old labor policies, what we need is investment, taking the country forward, they will tax tax tax and we want jobs jobs jobs. In my constituency, decades under investments, a freeport area, developed to try for longterm economic imbalance and will he agreed to meet with me to progress this project. The paradox, the gentleman went to freeport, something that can be achieved by breath that but im happy to study the plan that he proposes and we will see what we can do to take it forward. The coronavirus has had young people, going to the jobs market particularly hard. Will my right honorable friend so that young people have hope and encouragement for the prospect of the start of their working life . Absolutely. I thank my honorable friend. We want young people to have the selfconfidence and experience of work to keep learning on the job and if you wait a few minutes you will be hearing, for that matter. Lets drop in on angela crawley. Our support due to gaps in legislation, realtime information cut off date and 50 and these conceptions, it is untenable and will the Prime Minister commit to people left behind . I tell the honorable lady there are 12,000 in their constituency. To it have thousand pounds the massive scheme. And what they are asking. And 1040 pounds for families across the country in addition to a panoply of loans and grants we make. I am sure the Prime Minister would join me, the staff for all their hard work during the covid19 pandemic. A new hospital and also believe by building a new hospital in town the government will send a clear message to the people that it is committed. The Health Secretary is committed not just to building 40 new hospitals but visiting shortly to discuss investments in healthcare. Thank you, mister speaker. Lincoln airport provides direct funding to many local charities in my constituency but covid19 impacted charitable income. They will be forcing, in the cup. With thousands can the Prime Minister meet with me to discuss how emergency funding saves crucial local services and hundreds of key workers jobs . The Aviation Industry is hardhit and we are supporting the secretary at all kinds of ways not just by supporting employees but the time to pay schemes, the bank of england and supporting local councils with billions of pounds, 3. 2 billions of pounds from local government but the most important thing is to get medium and longterm solution that enables those airlines to start flying again so the council can get the revenue it needs. Thank you, it has been said that my right honorable friend never met a bridge he wanted to build. With the title barrage, 5 of the uk in a sustainable way. 7000 jobs, allow communities with a terrible transport network at the moment with a shiny new bridge and allow us to build our way into a green revolution and meeting with colleagues, further. Thank you for bringing that attractive idea, several are being considered and i advised him to get in touch with the secretary of state for business and industrial strategy to see what he can do and i will give what support i can. Yesterday after a delay of over a year, the government publish a response regarding violent shock workers. In that time, there have been 150 such incidents. There are a lot of good things in the governments response but it is disappointing when they stop short of a change in the law. The primaries to make a commitment that if his funds dont produce the 400 plus incidents every day, within six months he will support legislative change . We should have 0 tolerance for violence, aggression to people who work in the shops just as we have 0 tolerance for people aggressive those toward Public Services into we can to assure that is the case. There was welcome relaxation of lockdowns on saturday in some sectors, providing the wedding industry, still not able to open. I asked my honorable friend of people publish a timetable for hope and certainty for these industries. My right honorable friend raises an important point, our plan for getting our economy open again and more later this week about the most comfortable step in a timetable we have to follow. Thank you very much, mister speaker. In this area, turning from the hospital positions, unfamiliar, obliged to follow, rather than pointing the finger at care workers for his failure will Prime Minister do the right thing, apologize for the professionalism of the owners, managers and investors who went above and beyond to save lives. I renew the points i made to care home workers, the case he raises is important and troubling, kind enough to write with detail setting out what happened, i will be happy to reply. We have seen the most amazing upsurge in Community Spirit with millions of people coming together to support does my right honorable friend agree that we need to sustain the Community Spirit into the future and that means supporting social infrastructure of Community Businesses and giving away power so they get control . I thank my honorable friend for everything he has done to champion this over many years and i follow his campaign with interest and support and there is an opportunity to build on the way the nation came together during the covid19 crisis and deliver more of the project you wants and we will put our support behind those initiatives. 230,000 renters are going to be at risk of homelessness or eviction as they emerge from lockdown. The premise urgently lay legislation so across party we can support those people at risk of homelessness before we break for the summer recess. Im grateful to the honorable lady and shes right to draw attention to one of the most local features of the covid19 crisis which is the way the country and government were able to help thousands and thousands of Homeless People to find accommodations where they were less fortunate, series epidemics among the homeless, we have so far avoided that and we are taking forward plans from the secretary of state for community and local government, plans to ensure the 15,000 do not just come onto the street but we do what we can to stamp out homelessness in this country. 300,000 people across norfork, cambridge and lincolnshire. The fortieth anniversary, only built to 30 years, my right honorable friend agree dedication shown by staff, by including Queen Elizabeth, the new building program. That is what we are going to do. The secretary will be sending out the list. The Queen Elizabeth hospital was awarded 9 Million Pounds in october for urgent upgrade to protect vital frontline care and i am sure he will understand further longterm solutions are active consideration. Thank you, Prime Minister, forgetting things moving on the disclosure and good to hear the Prime Minister belatedly adopting the policy of jobs jobs jobs but does he mean jobs in the uk or in france, germany, korea and china. It is all very well, those are being produced in the northeast, by a French Company in a polish factory. Some Prime Minister, will you take back control and give instructions to the treasury, Cabinet Office and townhalls to actually buy british and protect british jobs jobs jobs . Poland, what we believe, we will create hundreds of thousands of jobs, we will ensure contracts go to Great British companies. Was we will not do is turn face against the notion of International Free trade and the market that brought colossal wealth to the people of this country. Those are the economics of the matter. To avoid drama we need to complete the process of getting] done in the next few months. Will my right honorable friend confirm to everyone listening that nothing in the Northern Ireland protocol will be allowed to stop the United Kingdom for the whole United Kingdom. The Northern Irish protocol will provide for the unfettered access between all parts. Totally on board with the premise ors rhetoric that for too long money has piled in and investment is needed now to bolster and boost universal confidence which can he explain why the secretary argued wales is too few businesses and taxpayers to be successful, he cant condone the secretary of states off message pessimism. Anybody who was more booster is for the future of wales, the secretary of state for wales, the government is committed to leveling up the whole uk in wales and everywhere with infrastructure, investment in education and in technology and we will do the things the Welsh Government failed to do, the welsh Labour Government i might say, and and they provide the vixen hail or to the nostrils of the wells dragon.
