Parents at st. Marys Catholic Primary School told me ofce the concerns about air pollution affecting Childrens Health. This morning High Court Ruled that the Government Air quality plan is. What does it Prime Minister feel is worse, losing for the third time in the high court, or 40,000 unnecessary deaths and impact on Childrens Health of the uks unsustainable airquality . The issue the honorable lady has raised about air quality is important and thats why weve been taking action to improve air quality. But can i just say to the honorable lady the way she has described the courts decision this morning i dont think properly reflects the decision that the court has given. If i could just perhaps, mr. Speaker, explained to thein houe because we do welcome the fact that the court has dismissed the complaint relating to five cities with major airquality problems, has now that we are taking appropriate action. They have agreed the modeling we used to support the 2017 airquality plan is sound. They have asked them to go further enemies with less severe airquality problems where we have brought a pragmatic approach was pragmatic that we twill formalize that but actuay on two out of three counts they felt in the governments favor. Eddie hughes. Thank you, mr. Speaker. The people want to see more police on the streets. I lobbied the Police Minister for funds to put more police on the streets. Will the Prime Minister join me in urging the Labour Police and crime commissioner to put more police on the streets instead of increasing his budget for back office staff by 10 Million Pounds . My honorable friend raises an important issue and his right to speak up for his constituents in relation to this. Hes also right because as a government weve been keen to ensure that police are out there, not in back office jobs. More money is going to policing [shouting] order, order. Please, the questions and answers must be heard, and i make no apology for repeating that the discussions here at pmqs should bear some resemblance to what the house is saying in relation to culture. Weve recently had a report on harassment. Lets try to behave properly in these sessions. That means listening to the answers and listening to the questions. Both sides of the house have got to try toy wake up to the realiy that huge numbers of people outside this place, i couldnt care less about the press gallery, huge numbers of people outside this placece disapprove, disapprove of this sort of behavior. On both sides, stop it. Prime minister. Thank you, mr. Speaker. The funding settlement for next to provide extra money for policing which means that West Midlands police will receive an increase of 9. 5 Million Pounds. Of course as my honorable friend said its up to the West Midlands police and crimes commissioner, the Labour Commission to decide how he spendsnd that money but i know that these forces can be more effective and productive and attorneys could debate his case very strongly for the Labour Commissioner. Jeremy corbyn. [shouting] thank you. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Yesterday the brexit secretary assured the country that brexit will not plunget in britain into a mad max style world borrowed from dystopian fiction. Does the Prime Minister feel he could set the bar just a little bit higher . [laughing] Prime Minister. Ill tell you [laughing] as the right honorable gentleman knows where very clear where going to ensure that when we leave the European Union where going to able to take back control of our borders, our money and our laws. [shouting]g] i have to say to them the only fiction around the relation to brexit and European Union is the labour partys front bench who cant even agree with themselves on what their policy is. [shouting] jeremy corbyn. One of, mr. Speaker, one of her former brexit ministers in thes other place warned the prie minister written will be walking a gangplank into thin air if she doesnt he said what she actually wants on leaving the European Union. In his speech the brexit secretary also said fears about at the regulatory race to the bottom were based on nothing. So why then did his own departments exit analysis state that could be opportunities for britain in deregulated areas such as environment and Employment Law . Let me say to the right honorable gentleman he talks about what we actually want to achieve when we leave the European Union. Ill tell you what we want to achieve. We want to enjoy this is a country that can negotiate freetrade deals around the rest of the world. We want to ensure we have a good trade agreement with the European Union, and thats what we will be starting to negotiate. We want to ensure we have good Security Partnership with the European Union as i set out in detail in my speech in munich last week. But we also want to ensure that this country takes the opportunities that will be open just outside the European Union to boost our economy to ensure were developing the coming of the future, the jobs for the future, more high paid, high skilled jobs for the people in this country. We are putting theut people fir. Mr. Speaker, in december the fourth secretary and the environment secretary or briefing that the working time directive would be scrapped. The cbi and the unions are very clear theyre not looking for a bonfire of regulations, quite thee opposite. The only party that wants to scrap workers regulations of protections are the party opposite. [shouting] in her lancaster house speech a year ago, the Prime Minister clearly stated, i also want terrorist free trade with europe. Now a year on tariff shift entry that to a tariff free as possible. Businesses and workers want tariff free access to protect jobs so why have the government abandoned that for as tariff free as possible . I have to say to the what, jim the government has not abandon this negotiating position. We will be ensuring we get that good, praise a trade agreement, Economic Partnership, with the European Union. He also mentions workers rights. Ive been clearar since i became Prime Minister that this government will not only protect workers rights but enhance workers rights. Lets just look at the conservatives record in government. Who was it can which government was it that took action on zero hours contracts . A conservative government, not labour. Which government is it, i got Matthew Taylor to report on the new economy so we ensure workers get the highest rights . I conservative government, not labour. Which government is it that is ensuring workers voices are heard on the boards of companies . I conservative government, not labour. Jeremy corbyn. I dont know if you get a chance toi read the Daily Telegraph today but 62 over backbenchers want a bonfire of regulations, want to destroy workers rights in this country. When the governments you exit analysis was published, the brexit minister said it does not consider our desired outcome. Could the Prime Minister take this opportunity now to tell the house and the country what is the governments desired outcome . Im very happy to. A bespoke Economic Partnership. Okay. So given that try mens Prime Minister ruled out any Customs Union union post brexit, canan e she explain how she expects then to avoid a hard border with Northern Ireland . The right honorable gentleman has asked this question president i pointed out in this chamber the government published papers last summer which shows how we can deliver exactly that, no hard border between Northern Island and the republic of ireland and a bespoke Economic Partnership with the European Union. Well, the foreign secretary recently made a speech about brexit and he found time to mention carrots, spam, stag parties and a plague of boils you are not one mention of Northern Ireland in his speech. Mr. Speaker, we are halfway [shouting] we are halfwayth through calm your self. Its not good for your health. Its only t wednesday. You have the rest of the week to get to the im try to help you. You should appreciate my kindness. We are halfway through the six speeches were told would set up the governments negotiating position. So far all we have is waffle and empty rhetoric. Businesses need to know, people want to know even her backbenchers are demanding to know. But it isnt clear from todays exchanges, this government isnt on the road to brexit, mr. Speaker, its on the road to nowhere. Prime minister. [shouting] i think i think, i think i have mentioned to the right honorable job and before that his job is actually to ask a question, but, you know [shouting] im perfectly happy [shouting] im perfectly happy to respond to the point that he made. He said that we have not set out in detail. Can i suggest to him that he needs to think very carefully about the Security Partnership that we want with the European Union when we have left . I set out in my speech in munich last week exactly what we want thats a Good Partnership to cover, because we believe in ensuring that we are maintaining the security and safety of people here in the uk, but also people in europe. We are unconditionally committed to the safety and security of europe. Can i congratulate the right honorable gentleman because normally he stands up every week and asked me to sign a blank check. I know he likes czechs, but really that is terribly depressing. [laughing] kevin foster. Thank you, mr. Speaker. [singing] [shouting] thank you, mr. Speaker. My constituent Evelyn Fisher was killed when a car mounted the pavement with test that after the incident indicating the driver had an undiagnosed medical condition which would need to h be assessed by the ddl to be detected before. What you doesnt Prime Minister Current Assessment rules were when showing those d driving licenses are fit to drive . Can tennessee to my honorable friend that he has made an important point because it is absolute crucial. Of course we want to ensure that people who are driving our axis it to drive and i know the sympathies of not just but ill defend but the whole of this house will be with her family and friends. The current driver license system is designed to balance the needs of road safety for those of the individual all drivers must inform dvla if you have a medical condition which may affect the driving and should discuss any concernsec ty have with their own medical professions. We do take this seriously and we are committed to ensuring that those who are granted a driving license on those who are fit to drive. Dian blackford. Thank you, mr. Speaker. At least 194 people have been killed in the last 48 hours in eastern guida. Can the Prime Minister tell the house what discussions her government has had with u. N. Colleagues on enforcing existing u. N. Resolutions calling for into civilian areas and attacks on civilians . Can i say to the gym and he has raised an important issue and we are all appalled by the escalation of airstrikes and give the concerned by reports that a been coming through as ongoing deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructures. This is in blatant violation of International Humanitarian and human rights law and we certainly do you call on the regime and its backers to cease this campaign of violence. They should respect International Metro law, protect civilians and allow refugee and other Community Access because there is concern that i think its Something Like 700 people who need medical evacuation are being refused that evacuation by the regime. We will be continuing to work withth the u. N. And the u. N. Geneva led process. I which is said the u. N. Envoy has our full support in the work hes doing to try to bring into find it a political solution for syria. Ian blackford. Can i think the Prime Minister for the answer. The bombing isns relentless. Doctors on the ground are treating pregnant women and babies have lost limbs. Its estimated that well over 100 children have been killed since sunday. The u. N. Has issued desperate pleas calling for political intervention stating this, no words will do justice to the children killed, their mothers, their fathers and their loved ones. Will the Prime Minister show leadership and join me in calling for an urgent meeting of the u. N. Security council to address the horrific genocide unfolding in syria . The United Nations has called on governments around the world to call out the action that has been taken and to be ready to stand up against that action. That is exactly what this government is doing. We willan be ensuring that we wl be talking to our colleagues within the United Nations to ensure that the best possible approach that can be taken in relation to these issues, but its not just about the Syrian Government. Its about the backers of the Syrian Government as well. We call on all their backers including russia to ensure that this violence stops and that those people are in need of help are given that help.

The home secretary before she brings forward legislation will be issuing a consultation because of what to ensure that we listen to all those have been affected so that we are dealing with all the aspects of this particular issue.

As i said earlier on to the honorable friend, what were doing were providing extra funding for police forces.

Well over 1 Million People in this country are living with the consequences of acquired brain injury. The great news is that thanks to the governments new trauma centers, 600 extra lives are year. Saved every single that is brilliant. The problem is many of these people are having their life saved by connecting the rehabilitation support to get them to live independent lives all over again. Miracles can be done. Half the units have no rehabilitation consultant at all. So will the Prime Minister is get together all ministers who have responsible in this they come help but the justices in which is heavily impacted and thee treasury, and the work and pensions, to make sure every Single Person who has an acquired brain injury gets the full rehabilitation that they need . The right honorable john has raised a very important point. As he may know there are two ways in which those Rehabilitation Services will be commissioned. Nhs england commissions specialist neurological Rehabilitation Centers for complex brain injury at the National Level but more routine rehabilitation is provided commissioned locally. Nhs england sets out a series of guidance for those commissioners to support delivery including brain injury. He has raised an important point and ill asksk the Health Secretary to respond to and to take up the issues, the specific question he has raised. Can i tell the Prime Minister how welcome the Police Ministers statement yesterday at the urgent question that is goingtho help Alcide Binkley find a way to the regulations to access the Medicinal Cannabis that he needs . Could she not only ensure that the ministers words go beyond the popular view of iron from the government, im here to help, but also join the majority of states of the European Union and the United States and British Public opinion at all colleagues who raise questions yesterday to give british citizens the earliest possible access to the potential benefits of medicines derived from cannabis under proper evidencebased processbased process and for the United Kingdom is on the front of licensing all medical investigations the need to be done to get as these benefits . The sympathy of the members across the house. Undergoing train. They have been through the most rigorous testing that the states we apply the most rigorous standards for and we believe the candidates should be subjected to the simulations that apply to all medicines in the United Kingdom. Highlighted each course in scotland [inaudible] its much cheaper except [inaudible] order. Forgive me, im struggling to hear. Just before i as the Prime Minister to respond i need assurance from the honorable gentleman that he is not suggesting that the presence of a member of parliament was bought because if he is suggesting that that is straightforwardly out of order. Is that the honorable gentleman sis saying . Mr. Speaker, i was trying to defend the newspaper that is not good enough. I have to make instant judgments. Prime ministers free to do so but shes under no opposition to answer a response. Twice in the last four weeks the human rights had caused to the labour party regarding does my right honorable friend agree with me that the quality law must be applied equally and there are there to protect all groups equally . Prime minister. Im happy to agree with my friend on that point. I the equality act went through and supported that equality act and it is there to ensure exactly as he says that people are treated equally. Mr. Speaker, the governments decision potentially limits our access to vital Cancer Treatment in the ceo of the industry association. [inaudible conversations] order. Lets be clear about this. They can resume momentarily for this question, like every question, will be heard. The honorable lady will not be shouted down and that is the end of the matter. If some foolish person is seeking to do so examine your behavior and stop it. Thank you, mr. Speaker. The ceo of the Nuclear Industry association points out that if medical isotope which are used to treat cancer delayed in reaching the uk it could be deemed useless on arrival because of their short past life. Will the Prime Minister explained to the house how she plans to prevent delays to counter treatment due to her hard pursuit of hard brexit. The honorable lady is wrong on two counts. First of all what we are pursuing is a brexit that will enable us to have best Economic Partnership with sees that freedom of trade across the borders with the European Union but it is also the case as we have made clear previously that the availability of medical radioisotopes will not be exit fromy the uks [inaudible]. It is not subject to any licensing requirements so our ability to import medical license fromor europe and the rt of the world will not be affected by our withdrawal from [inaudible] thank you very much, mr. Speaker. I think the premise are for taking up her personal interest in me myself and other colleagues from across the house in our interest to get justice for the [inaudible]. These people went to the gps in good faith and were given abortions and disfigured people being born. Is there any good news of the premise or has for the victims of criminals so they can put an end to this terrible situation . I would say that i was pleased to meet him and indeed meet my honorable friend to discuss this particular issue and i recognize that there are many individuals whose lives have been affected by this and they are very powerful story of these individuals. I know this has been a concern across the whole of this house and the concerns raised about by camping groups not just about [inaudible] but about issues like but i dont mesh and sodium bio grade and the reason we have regulated Healthcare Systems and we are trying to address it. I will be clear that we need to do better. I was very struck by the story part of the stories i heard. We do needoo to see a faster, me understanding response to patients when they raise concerns and my right honorable friend can be a little patient we will be making a statement this afternoon sitting on his plan to the house for review on these issues. Mr. Speaker, its been over a month is a terrible fire but thousands of people are still living in blocks with dangerous flammable this dangerous was allowed to go off because the government guidance and on average there is one fire every month linked to this it is clear this is the governments response ability so why is she running the risk of a second tower when she could act and take this down . By minister. Over the years under those labor governments the arrangements and relations will bring change for the last labor government and what we did wasg we did immediately following the appalling fire at the tower what we did immediately was to ensure that all those federal authorities and others worked with their authorities to inspect towers, to look at where so there are just issues about [inaudible] but how it affects the buildings as well. Action was taken by those authorities where they thought it was necessary to do that and that is why we saw, for example, in camden people having to leave while action was being taken. My right honorable friend of the housing secretary has putth in place that review of the regulations and was urgently put in place and has been taken as a result of that review. After months of ignoring evidence from our stakeholders they agreed to [inaudible] does the pie minister agree with me that during that pause the Scottish Government must look at all options for the future of to ensure that make the deals. [inaudible conversations] this is of course an important point. We as the uk government are committed to delivering Smith Commission on [inaudible] and as part of that we are evolving powers of the British Government to the Scottish Government but the number one priority is the safetyty of the public as a travel. We will work with the Scottish Government to make sure that there is a smooth transfer of the british transport fleet to their responsibility whether or not the british transport is merged with the scotland is a matter for the Scottish Government and the Scottish Government, order. Calm yourself. You are supposed to be setting an example to some of your colleagues. You aspire to be a statement. One century or another but the Prime Minister. Mr. Speaker, i was trying to say that its the right example that can i just say that it is a matter for the Scottish Government as to what they choose to do t but i would urge Scottish Government to ensure they are putting the safety and security people who are traveling first when they make that decision. [inaudible] in the pie minister between the i and say that Prime Minister. He is certainly right to ask me questions about which i am responsible and i have the right as i decreed to comment on issues which we are taking out with Scottish Government. And once more i say to the honorable gentlemen i will be the judge of what is in order and the honorable gentlemen will accept really. The minister is in order and that is the end of it. Someone has to decide. Thank you, mr. Speaker. What we are doing in relation to the Job Center Services is ensure that there will be no [inaudible] and in fact will increase the number of [inaudible] across country to provide more to the people who need it. These plans are designed to [inaudible] and to ensure thatns we not just protect [inaudible] will the Prime Minister tell the International Sector that despite the abuses that have come to light recently that this government is committed to helping the most vulnerable and poor people around the world and the sector really does need to get its act in order. Can i say to my right honorable friend the government maintained his commitment to helping the most one of people around the world. We maintain our commitment for International Development but we do want to work with organizations that meet the high standards that we expect under the behavior of in haiti it was with horrific and far below the standards but im pleased to say that not only does my right honorable friend the International Development secretary show immediate action by demanding the small terrible partners here and abroad about their safeguarding protection policies but she is also demanded those. In the month and next month in the Charity Commission would hold an urgent regarding summit where we will bring together uk International Development charities to look at the possibility off an accreditation and it can be used for workers to take it into the international arena. It is crucial that we continue to support for the most vulnerable but they also deserve to be treated by the same high standards that we would expect to be treated.
