Before Prime Ministers question time i wish to make a short statement about the virtual participation in d bates. Idea occurred to you and the house authorities was the primacy will note with virtual participation of the house itself, all positions being made by motions moved by the league of the house. The house of Commons Service will be more than happy to facilitate a virtual participation with the house department. I would be more than happy to accept. The relevant motion, not for me and the house parties. That is beyond the way. I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others, i shall have further meetings. Thank you, mister speaker. During this pandemic my constituency of northwest cambridge i have seen a number of instances of ordinary citizens doing extraordinary work helping the elderly and the vulnerable and that has been repeated across the country in every constituency giving true meaning to the words community spirit. What my right honorable friend take this opportunity not only to acknowledge this fantastic work done by so many people but also to give a huge thank you to each and every one of these Unsung Heroes of our country. I thoroughly concur with my right honorable friend and congratulate all volunteers for the spirit and achievements they deliver to the people of this country and delighted we have a chance to honor them. Or some of them. The leader of the opposition. On the eleventh of may the primacy are said covid19 will be governed by silence, on the 21st of september the government says scientific advisors gave clear advice, a package of interventions including a Circuit Breaker will be needed to prevent an exponential rise in cases. Why did the Prime Minister reject that advice and abandon the science . We will do whatever it takes to fight this virus into the feet it but on page 1 it says a the interventions have associated costs the advice i have today. If we do the regional approach recommended itself to the house and the right honorable gentlemen on monday we can break down bring down the virus. Will he stick to his position of monday and support that approach . I dont think that approach goes far enough. The Prime Minister talks of the costs. Since he rejected advice on the 21st of september i remind him the rate has gone up. The infection rate has quadrupled, hospital admission went from 265 data 278 today. Yesterday, 441 chloroquine for patients were ventilated. The number of deaths was the highest since june 10th. That is the cost of rejecting the advice. Sage have a clear view of why that is happening. What is the Prime Ministers view on why these numbers are all heading in the wrong direction . I said that on monday and the difference between this stage of the pandemic, the house knows very well the disease is appearing more strongly in some parts of the country than others. In liverpool the figures are running at 670 cases against 30 cases per 100 in cornwall. And in newcastle, 32 that is why the approach, the 3tiered approach we set out on monday and he supported is the right way forward and we want to put in the most stringent measures in places where the virus is surging to get it down where it is surging. Will he get answers to his labor friends in Northern England where we want to work with them to put stringent measures in place to deliver reductions the whole country wants to see, will he support those measures . He wouldnt support them last night. The Prime Ministers behind the curve again. This morning, including the mayor and the conservative leader have said in a press statement they support tier 3 restrictions, keep up, Prime Minister. The big problem the Prime Minister has, it is clear two main policies, track and trace and lift restrictions havent worked. In june the Prime Minister told me a vital part in ensuring we dont have a spike this winter, his words, three months later sage concluded track and trace, their words, is only having a marginal impact on transmission. They go on to say that this is likely to further decline in the future. Lets not have the usual nonsense for anyone asking about track and trace as knocking nhs, this is sage investment, the governments own advisor. After 12 billion pounds lets have a straight answer. Why does the Prime Minister think the track and trace system has gone so wrong . Thanks to nhs test and trace that is testing more people than any other country in europe that we know where the disease is surging, it is regionally distributed rather than nationally distributed. He wants to close businesses, where that is what he wants to do and wants to do it now and he voted to do nothing last night, in areas where the incidents are higher. He says one thing at 5 00 about calling for a National Lockdown. He failed even to turn up. I know for someone who has been an opportunist all his life, having read and considered the sage advice i have genuinely concluded the circuit break is in the National Interest, genuinely concluded. The failure of the Prime Ministers strategy means tougher measures are unavoidable. That is sages view, a Circuit Breaker should act to reduce, said the incidence of disease to a lower level and should set the academics back by 28 days or more. All three are vital and that can the Prime Minister tell us what is his alternative plan to get below one . The plan is the plan the right honorable gentlemen supported on monday and the whole point is to seize this moment to avoid the misery of another National Lockdown in which he wants to go headlong by delivering a regional solution. Opportunism is the name of the game. He backs the rule of sick and refused, at 3 00 the shadow spokesman said the National Lockdown would be disastrous. By 5 00 he was calling for it. Lets go back to the approach he was supporting on monday. Lets try to avoid the misery of a National Lockdown he would want to impose in a headlong way and it worked to gather as he prepared to keep kids in school who he would yank out of school in a peremptory way. Keep our economy going and keep jobs and livelihoods supported in this country and take the common sense regional approach and will he kindly spell out, as he did on monday. Following the advice that is opportunistic, he supports circuit break. I just listened to what the Prime Minister said to get below one, i cant think of a single scientists, the chief medical officer said on monday, chief medical officer not confident nor is anyone confident, for the highest rates would be enough. That is tier 3. Why is the Prime Minister so confident he will get the are rate below one, so confident or is it no longer the government plan . Im afraid hes misrepresenting the position. If the regional measures at all levels were implemented with cooperation of with that region i paid tribute to him. If they were able to conduct proper local test and trace with 500 Million Pounds, those measures deliver the reduction in the locally, regionally that we need to avert what none of us want to see except the right honorable gentlemen, that is the disaster of a National Lockdown. We want the regional approach and should cooperate with it. I supported the government and all their measures and i face criticism on it but this measure is wrong and a Circuit Breaker is in the National Interest and the government has rejected it. This is my last question and im sure the Prime Minister is ready as usual but we are at a second point. Time is running out, ask answer a question. The telegraph quotes senior government sources say the chances of the Prime Minister battling a circuit break in the next two weeks are 80 . Is that right . Why doesnt he do it now, save lives and protect the nhs . Claims to be supporting the government one day and is a dramatic uturn the next. Support the rule of six one day and not the next. Everyone can see what he is doing. They see this, one they wish to exploit. A national crisis, we are going to turn around and the way we are going to do it, i rule out nothing, combating the virus. The regional approach that can to drive down and will drive down the virus if it is properly implemented and that is what i believe he should be supporting, he said he would support that on monday. Our opportunity to keep things going, keep our kids in school, keep our business is going, that is what the people of this country, the opportunity to do that, suppress the virus where it is surging. He refuses to set that approach today. I hope he will change his mind and think the better of his actions. One of the great things about the Coalition Government with the improvement of 4200 extra businesses. Mixed experience vital savings that they contacted as well as support networks for new parents, at a time they are most needed, the numbers have dwindled and make contact was will the primus urgently look at reversing this and support the premium proposal to help lockdown babies catch up . I thank my right honorable friend who is an experienced campaigner on this issue and im help that we have continued to prioritize vulnerable families and that is what they are going to do. Ian blackburn. Yesterday the end of the Job Retention scheme will lead to a tsunami of unemployment, across scotland and the United Kingdom demanding the tory government, on its reckless plans to scrap the funding scheme, there are two weeks left to save peoples jobs and livelihoods. Prime minister, you have two choices. Extend the collective tsunami of unemployment for people this winter. What is the Prime Minister going to choose . I think the right honorable gentlemen. The chancellor has unveiled the job support system, a scheme that will go through to next year and for those, with universal credit which is going through 50,000 through next april at least. Ian blackburn . That and so does show the Prime Minister, universal credit, what the Prime Ministers saying to those who could be saved, people dont want to hear the excuses we get, these half measures, they lost their jobs, the highest rate of redundancy since 2009. We are headed towards a tory winter of mass unemployment created by the Prime Minister and the chancellor. We know what the Prime Ministers tori colleagues are saying, primary straps next job could be on the back benches, he just doesnt know it yet. The Prime Minister, does he realize he will never not ever be forgiven for the damage is about to cause people up and down southland. I say to the right honorable gentlemen this gentleman is continuing to support people across the whole uk, many billions of pounds for scotland alone but i will congratulate the support for the tiered approach, and the Party Opposite some vestige of consistency in normal gelatinous behavior. Doctor matthew offers. On monday i met with the planning collective to discuss building safety. It was designed to support residential evaluation and lending on buildings over 18 million but the Housing Communities and local government extended the scope to deal with below 18 meters. Will Prime Minister provide interim advice about risk prioritization and will he also extend the safety fund for 18 meters. The second point the honorable gentlemen my honorable friend raises, what i can tell him is focusing first on the buildings over 18 meters but i understand, the risk matrix to support mortgage evaluation under 18 meters unless the authorities counsel, a risk prioritization to be available shortly. The effect of lockdown, starting in november a minimum wage employee a normal worker, 227,000 pounds per week. I doubt this Prime Minister could survive on that. How under god the expect workers to survive on it . Im probably the government has done to raise the National Living wage which the government reduced. The combination of Job Support Team and universal credit, no one gets less then 93 of the current income. My constituent and a small Hazardous Nuclear site in the uk. Will the Prime Minister promised me that he is 100 behind it . I see, i congratulate her on campaigning for a nuclear future, she has no further supporter in that objective and me. Thank you, mister speaker. We discovered his constituency, was approved by one of his own ministers, by approving funding for that constituency, tens of millions of pounds of taxpayer money. Does he think the public might be right. All this was independent, if he has serious allegation, to make it . Thank you, mister speaker. British wool is a versatile product across the uk, feel frustrated this sustainable natural product is not properly valued. Can i ask the Prime Minister to boost the export market for british oil as he builds back better. And insulator for the stable housing. I think my honorable friend, someone whos family i feel the pain, prices on the floor at the moment, my honorable friend identifies, everyone thinking about british will this winter. Thank you mister speaker. Two weeks ago the Prime Minister told me he would support charities to open accommodate people this winter but the government announced the cut despite higher covid19 related costs. Will the primus to guarantee all Government Funds cover anyone and anyone eating shelter. They get the support they need. And tackling the local consequences thank you very much. I strongly support the aspiration of the Prime Minister. With offshore wind capacity. There is a substantial scheme that would mean a third of its target. And to deliver its important Climate Change commitments. Im confident the land or the seabed responding positively. Recently diagnosed with terminal cancer, for support. A lowrise building, he cant sell it because mortgage lenders require one specific, estimates could take 10 years to certify any building affected. Hundreds of thousands like him dont have that long. When will the Prime Minister end the scandal . To my honorable friend, trying to provide that mortgagebacked, to find himself in a difficult position. After decades of labor. My friendss constituents voted for change, in the textiles and engineering. In my right honorable friend, in that forgotten constituency. With better jobs, better education and a better future. I can tell my honorable friend who is a fantastic campaigner that they are in line for the proposal of appointing 1 billion pounds and 250 million unknown to gross deals through 2021. Alan dorans. The Prime Minister has been asked this question before, never received a direct response. I will ask the Prime Minister will he confirm the best credit out there remains permanent and those will be included. Ive given that answer many times and the answer remains the same. Remaining through to april next year. Combine the jas with seeing people get 93 . Appreciate the time and we can keep this economy moving if we can, keep our kids in the school. The disaster of another National Lockdown. Thank you, mister speaker. Will the Prime Minister join me in thanking the businesses for continuing to serve the community in difficult times. Will he reconfirm the commitment to invest when we have come through this stronger to see those businesses himself. Prime minister. I have happy memories of sampling with my honorable friends and i can tell him the Black Country city deal investment of 5. 6 million and combined Authority Just awarded 66 Million Pounds, 15 Million Pounds to be located in north hampton, is teaming with opportunity. Gregory campbell. The Prime Minister is aware of the Northern Ireland executive restrictions to bear down on the virus, with the exception of one extra week of halloween and keeping sectors of the economy going, missing hospitality associated with the supply chains and selfemployed. What plans does he have to announce these muchneeded sectors that need assistance urgently . I am in continuous contact with the leader in Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland will receive 2. 4 billion pounds in additional funding so we can look at measures we further imagine to be created by this to support jobs and livelihoods across the whole of the uk. The antislavery day for the United Kingdom. An opportunity for all of us to raise awareness of heinous crimes. Will my right honorable friend use this opportunity to reinforce the Global Leadership on this issue and confirm that treating victims with dignity and respect in response to this. I certainly can confirm what my right honorable says, taking pride in what the government has done in introducing the modern slavery act and identifying more victims of modern slavery than ever before, in 2019, 52 increase. This government, this house and this country is leading the campaign against modern slavery. I entered parliament, Contact Tracing and i will need to manually switch if it doesnt happen automatically. Four nations approach can i ask the Prime Minister, it is critical for these communities. Im grateful to the honorable lady, i will make sure there is interoperability across all four nations in Northern Ireland already. In the bulk of our approach we have taken much more in common. I welcome the commitment to establish in my constituency. Not to include these programs. Prime minister. I thank her for this campaign. One of the most successful campaigns this year, the new bridge, the new bridge he asked for completed between summer and autumn of next year, carry that back in triumph. Amber laughlin. Following for talking about in 2013, settled with a 25 year long, she must being taken by this, i will be 106 for the resolution. Investigating hundreds of others, waiting used to be compensated for something that happened not because they were foolish but were victims. I am afraid to say the honorable lady raises an important, shes right to raise it, we must accelerate the process by which these complaints are upheld and dealt with and compensation is delivered because thats the only way to build Public Confidence in all the improvements to our homes we need to deliver across the whole of the country. She is spot on and im writing to her about that case. The remote participation bill, on friday, originally by the labor force on the west and in light of your comments earlier today please advise me how to ensure what becomes reality. To the deck of order. And the provisions, she placed it on the record and im sure it will be listened to on the treasury benj but it is not my decision. In order to do this, honorable members participate in this business, safe arrival of those participating. Here at cspan2 we leave the british house of commons as members moved to other business.
