You. I now call the Prime Ministers to answer the engagement question, participating virtually. Had johnson mr. Speaker, i meetings with the minister in addition to the duties in the house and i shall have further meetings today. Last week saw the anniversary of the beginning of the battle of britain. As you are aware, these systems alone deployed 10 thousands of and ofacross lancaster taken on over 250 a parenthesess in that part of the business this year. To doing all that he can to secure these key jobs to support the defense experts and the team. P. M. Johnson i have no doubt i will be coming in due process. Programmers00 involved in the project, 2500 year. 800 of those are in the constituency. I look forward to his constituency being at the epicenter of the development of the next u. K. Lead combat program. Now the leader of the opposition. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Over the last few months, we have supported comic measures by the government. The decision not to provide specific support for those most at risk could end up costing thousands of jobs. Aviation, sectors, has already seen huge redundancies. They have announced 12,000 redundancies. Virgin 3000. Easyjet, 1900. If the priority is to protect jobs, why didnt the chancellor bring forward sector specific details that could have done precisely that . P. M. Johnson no one should underestimate the scale of the challenge that this country faces. And that is why the chancellor has brought forward a range of measures which, by the way, he supported last week. Job retention bonus, the Kickstarter Program for young people, and we are also doing a huge amount to support the aviation sector. One of the companies, virgin, has come out after extremely difficult and productive conversations. That is the work of this government, getting companies through it. Helping people through it. Hehas to work out whether will support or oppose the Governments Program to get people back into it. The shadow chancellor said that here in the house of commons said he supported the program and this week he says he supports opposes it. Which is it . That is just rhetorical nonsense. It is perfectly proper and right to set up a part of the package and the support of the government and highlight where there are problems. My problem with the Prime Ministers dismissal of this is that since the chancellor sat down, 10,000 people have lost their jobs. The Prime Minister should focus on them and not the rhetoric. I want to press the Prime Minister further. Alongside ther 12,000 redundancies announced, they are trying to force through the rehiring of the remaining terms andkers on conditions. It is unacceptable. Emailime minister sent in an email. In a changenot be the terms of conditions. That was the second of june. Will the six will the Prime Minister make clear that they cannot be allowed to stand without consequences for landing slots . We are absolutely clear that we want our Great Companies across this country to support their workers and to keep unemployment where they possibly can. Just inhat point clear the last couple of weeks. For British Airways and many are havingnies, they a problem at the moment. And i cannot with a magic wand ensure that every single job before the crisis is retained. But we can do is encourage companies to keep their workers scheme,a Job Retention a Job Retention bonus, and a massive program of investment of 600 billion pounds, and Investment Program to build, build, build, and create jobs, jobs, jobs. Im talkinghat about, rehiring 30,000 people being rehired on worse terms and conditions. He should call it out. The Expert Advisory Group published a report. They were asked to do so. Assessed the reasonable first Case Scenario of this automatic winter including a second covid spike and seasonal flu. Out actions to mitigate the risks. The report was clear. There must be intense preparation. Did the Prime Minister make clear that he intends to implement the recommended action in full and at speed . P. M. Johnson not only are we getting on with implementing the newarations for a potential spike, but he should know that the government is engaged in record investments. What the house may not realize is just in the last year since the government has been in office, there are now 12,000 more nurses in the nhs, 6000 more doctors. And it was thanks to their hard work that we were able to prevent our Health Service from being overwhelmed this spring. And we will take steps to ensure that it is not overwhelmed this winter as well. That is the whole point of this report. It sets out the worst Case Scenario and tells the government what to do about it. I am surprised hes not committing to fully implement. Act to save lives for the future. One of the key recommendations in this report is that testing and tracing capacity need to be significantly expanded to cope with increased demands over the winter. Trace and track is not working as it stands today. The report makes clear that it needs to be significantly expanded. What assurance can the prime by this september. P. M. Johnson once again, the at anment rate is working absolutely unprecedented scale. 144,000 people across the tontry have now agreed selfisolate to stop the spread of the virus. That thesaying operation is failing to contact and people are failing to get but actually, they are doing fantastic work. They are getting through to the vast majority of people that have the disease. I can give the assurance that our test and trace system is as good as or better than any other system anywhere in the world. And yes, it will play a vital part in ensuring that we do not now is the time for him to return to his previous script and build it up. The people that are selfisolating has gone down. It was 90 a few weeks ago and every week has gone down. I would not quote the latest figure looking at the trend. Has the Prime Minister actually read this report that sets up the reasonable worstCase Scenario and tells the government what to do in the next six weeks . P. M. Johnson of course im aware of the report. We are taking every reasonable step to prepare this country for a second spike. I might say to the right honorable gentlemen, get behind the government and what it is doing or not. He has previously supported and come to this house and said that he supports our measures. He now says i think that he doesnt support. I think what he needs to do is build up the confidence of the people of this country cautiously to get back to work. Economyly restart the instead of endlessly knocking the confidence of the people of this country, knocking their confidence in our schools and the safety of our schools. Now is the time for him to decide if he backs the government or not. Is entirely possible to support and point out the problems. It is not keeping confidence in the system. You say that there are problems do this is what we will about it. Not this rhetoric about stunning success. I am meeting the families, a group of hundreds of families that lost loved ones. We wont let the deaths of our loved ones be in vain. And we wont allow the government to risk a second wave of debts without learning from their mistakes. They wont be listening to the Prime Ministers answers today. So what with the Prime Minister like to say to them . Will be listening to the Prime Ministers answers today, so what would the Prime Minister like to say to them . P. M. Johnson we are mourning the loss of everybody that has died in this epidemic. Through them,hat the victims and their families, we will do everything in their power to prevent a second spike in this epidemic. That is why we are investing massively in our front line staff. Of a program to recruit 50,000 more, preparing nhs for winter. We will do everything we can to protect our country. What he has to decide is whether he wants to back that program or not. One day, he says it is safe to go back to school and the next day, hes taking the line of the union. One day, supporting economic programs and saying a duty cut is unacceptable. And then excepting the result of the referendum and then they will tell their troops to do the exact opposite. He needs to make up his mind which brief he is going to take today. Briefs than calvin klein. We are getting on with delivering the agenda and getting this country through the pandemic. Say to the Prime Minister as well that we will work through it. Thank you, mr. Speaker. My constituency is home to many farms producing it is food. Producing british food. And we provide fantastic new opportunities for the hardworking farmers. P. M. Johnson i can give an assurance. They will safeguard Animal Welfare and duties across the u. K. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Tomorrow, the tory government will release legislation for the Biggest Program since the scottish people wanted all the oil for the Scottish Parliament in 1987. Force aners plan to unelected unaccountable body with a decision made by the Scottish Parliament will not be accepted. The scottish of Parliament Must and will be decided by the scottish people. We also reject attempts from one part of the United Kingdom being forced on scotland. The agriculture in this state will the Prime Minister confirmed that his tory government will once again ignore the wishes of the scottish people in launching their agenda . What we arentrary, doing is possibly the biggest single act of devolution from scotland, wales, and Northern Ireland in modern memory. Pounds will be transferred to the elected people in scotland. What he wants his trade barriers between england and scotland. Ands unelected unaccountable. What he wants to do, mr. Speaker, his hand the powers that we would give back to scotland to brussels which is neither elected nor accountable. Document willhe talk about the benefits of the that therkets of pity Prime Minister doesnt understand. This Prime Minister often states the need to respect referendum results. He should respect the decision taken by the scottish people in 1997. We know this government is undertaking this fullscale assault. The british settlement scotland rejected. It beingand rejects imposed on scotland. Wonder that the Prime Ministers Approval Ratings are three times that of this Prime Minister. In terms of leadership and respecting the will of the people contrasted with the online shamble coming from westminster. Scotland has the right for decisions to be made. While the Prime Minister will the primus to guarantee the plans will not be enforced on scotland . P. M. Johnson just to repeat my point, it is extorted in area it is extraordinary for him. I really dont know what he means. As for his point about respecting the referendum referendum on a the issue of scottish. In 2014, they said at the time that it would be a once in a generation event. I think they should keep the promise. My constituents includes a nineyearold girl with an inoperable brain tumor. Treatmenteasible option is a broad and the family is struggling to make arrangements. With the Prime Minister offer reassurance to work with the family for ways for them to access treatment . P. M. Johnson yes, i thank my honorable friend for her question. We will, of course, look at everything we can do to support for travel arrangements. Under this Prime Minister, we suffered one of the worst traits in the world. And europes worst death rate for health and care workers. Previously, he has refused my demand for a repeated inquiry, saying it is too soon. Even back in 2003, he voted for an independent inquiry just months after that conflict just started. If he still rejects an immediate inquiry, will he, instead, commit, in principle, to a future Public Inquiry . Yes or no . P. M. Johnson i said several times that i do not believe that now in the middle of combating a pandemic is the right moment to devote huge amounts of official time to an inquiry. But of course, mr. Speaker, we will seek to learn the lessons of this pandemic in the future. And certainly, we will have an independent inquiry into what happened. People with Mental Health conditions are especially suffering increased anxiety. Most are without treatment and most importantly, a lack of early intervention. Can the premise or outline the steps the government will take to make sure that people with Mental Health conditions are not left alone or behind . I thank my honorable friend for campaigning on this issue which is incredibly important. Lockdown. During know that they are publishing the National Strategy further. Thank you, mr. Speaker. On monday, announcing new immigration rules that will prevent people coming to work in social care. They said workers should be paid the chair of the government advisory should receive around 50 more than current rates. The government is the primary funder for social care. To paye prime mr. Commit the higher rates . P. M. Johnson we have already taken steps to support that another authority and 3. 2 billion, to support them with the contributions to fighting infections. We are incredibly proud of what our social care workers do and what the government has done. We have not only produced a National Living wage, but we have increased it by the biggest ever amount. On friday, the last surviving written aircrew britain 100. Ew member turns in contrast with that goal generation, he will not seek any recognition for himself. But we ought to shine a sacrifice ofthe those that fell. With the Prime Minister give some thought as to how we might recognize crew captain John Hemingway not for himself but as a final representative . Indeed,nson i will, think about what we can do. I would urge them strongly to make those recommendations. Mr. Speaker, last month, the chancellor received a letter [indiscernible] it requested urgent action to sign off on a deal for more than 18 months of waiting. 6000 jobs hang in the balance. Situation has been ridiculous by the chief of commerce. This will this Prime Minister sign off on the vital deal without delay . P. M. Johnson mr. Speaker, i know we have done a number of great deals in scotland. I will write him with an answer. There is a sense of great celebration with the positive development. We have one part of the jigsaw puzzle to solve. Unable to raise the 17 million 17 Million Pounds to support the final part of the jigsaw. And encouraging the chancellor and ministers finding the 17 Million Pounds. The department of transport has received the amount of funding. And we will bring news in the near future. On the 23rd of june and the 24th of june, we respect the Financial Support for businesses and workers during local lockdowns, that nobody should be penalized for doing the right thing. Were unable to give any details. It will be crystal clear, penalizing workers and businesses for doing the right thing or not. In addition to the 160 billion pounds of support that the government has given to people and firms across the country, we have supported areas with considerable grants. The best ring possible is for to open up work hard again. Constituency, there are over 20,000 people directly employed in the aerospace and defense sectors. It is not vital for the individuals and families supporting them, but they are increasing to the region and country at large. And withconductivity programs like tempest, the next generation of fighter aircraft. So with a wide ranging support package for the aerospace industry, it is highly polluting exceeds me. Excuse me. P. M. Johnson i will examine the scheme for the highly polluting aircraft. We will be putting 3. 9 billion into the aerospace technology. It has been set up with force. Rt, a joint task there is a zero emissions package that this country will leave the world. Lead the world. Last week, the chancellor said that [indiscernible] it cost the business 10 billion pounds, effectively declaring bankruptcy. Many councils are already beginning to submit to layoffs. Feel that the support he has provided is enough for vulnerable communities . Era of austerity . Indeed. Nson yes in bradford, we have advocated 30 Million Pounds a deal with the pressures of the virus and as i have said to the house just support ofllion in the local councils across the country. I pay tribute to the work of local councils and services for helping us to get through this pandemic, and we will continue to support them. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Talking to the good people and they are worried about the economic effects of covid, [inaudible]y say confirmPrime Minister the government is trying to [inaudible] sink, only the kitchen but every part of the kitchen because we are going to build, build, build our way forward and we will be supporting the building of 300,000 new homes a year, and we are going to do everything we can to ensure we get jobs, jobs, jobs throughout this country, whether by installing kitchen sinks or any other parts of the house, we will take this country forward. Can i refer the Prime Minister to the question asked by my honorable friend . Due to a covid outbreak in turkey, we are needing enhanced support. Testing on workforces and closing operations. There is a cost to this to the business, but also to the work on statutory sick pay. Can i ask the Prime Minister to help us in the counsel. Can we have daily post covid data, and can the Prime Minister commit to a package of support so businesses can close and individuals can do the right thing to benefit all of us . P. M. Johnson yes, of course, we are committing to serving as much sharing as much data as they can deal with the pandemic. Some of them have been doing an outstanding job. We will continue to support counsels upanddown the land as they engage in local action to make sure country can start to get back to work. Pleasure to be back. The company is the leading producer of cars and the u. K. Meld my friend agree with that the imports of recognizing and promoting the role of hybrids can play in the transition as we move from the vehicles we have today to zero in mission transport Going Forward . P. M. Johnson yes, indeed. I believe hybrids can certainly make a huge difference and they are an important part of our transition to zero admission vehicles, in which this country leads the world. Thank you, mr. Speaker. My constituents, has been diagnosed my constituent has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. There have been no new treatments for conditions like that one. Mel the Prime Minister join in supporting Daniels Family and their calls for renewed focus on research, and for awareness for child brainstem cancers so other families in the future dont have to experience the heartbreak that daniel and his family are dispiriting today . P. M. Johnson yes indeed. I will do what i can to ensure she is able to make representations to the department of health about ensuring childhood brainstem cancers are properly understood and properly tackled by this country. Mr. Speaker, some people are anxious to return to work, and some people find they are as happy and productive at home working as they would be at the office. But does the Prime Minister agree with me that the worst reason for staying at home is to follow blanket government advice that takes no account of safety . Will he commit to revising the governments advice . P. M. Johnson as i am sure you know from studying the governments advice, my friend will see that it is important business should be carried on, and employer should decide in consultation with their workers whether it is safe for their , orers to come in to work whether they should continue working from home. I happen to think that this country has made huge strides in getting our workplaces safe, and that is the message i think we should all be conveying. Lets head to livingston. Thank you very much. I am sure the Prime Minister will agree the men that mock women showed thatt week is exactly what happened. That women were gassed lighted and not believed. Will the Prime Minister commit to implementing all the recommendations in the report . My constituent suffered as a result of this. I think i speak for many members in this house when i say i have had to run representations as the constituency from women web suffered from exactly the conditions that were identified by your constituent. We take it with extreme seriousness and have no accepting her request. Feels make sure that she we are addressing the issues and the way she would want. Thank you, mr. Speaker. The government wants green energy, the government wants to most abused economic wants to boost economic in the region. All will the Prime Minister support with government financial backing the building of Nuclear Power generation facilities in cumbria . P. M. Johnson we believe that Nuclear Power is a significant potential contributed to our nets in a ambitions, and our net zero ambitions. Final question. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Anis exactly a week since 80yearold was murdered with a my constituency, leaving his family devastated and the closeknit community reeling. It is exactly two years since the Youth ViolenceCommission Published a report with irrefutable evidence to tackling serious violence, yet the scourge of knife crimes across the country continue. The Youth Violence commission will publish its final report tomorrow. Will the Prime Minister commit to accept its recommendations and act immediately to introduce a crossgovernment, Public Health approach the tackling serious violence, and stop anymore families from suffering such terrible loss . P. M. Johnson i know that everybodys sympathies will be with the family of the victim and her constituency. Aswillis the families well as the families of all victims of knife crimes. I agree we need acrossgovernment approach we need a crossgovernment approach. You also need a tough policing solution. I have been concerned for the last few years that in london, which she represents, we have not seen the approach we saw from the previous mayor, for instance. There was a where significant reduction in knife crimes or murder. That included the use of stop and search. We should have zero tolerance of kids going out on the street armed with a bladed weapon. That is absolutely vital. The people, and my experience, most supportive of taking the knives of kids on the streets of our city are the mothers of those kids who are most at risk of being killed. They support stop and search and surgeon i hope she does, too. Order.
