The week in parliament. Mr speaker, reading is a friendly and peaceful town with a diverse and tolerant community and this whole incident is completely unknown to us. Hello again and welcome to the week in parliament. Its something which has never lifting the lockdown across the uk occurred before in our community Boris Johnson relaxes and, as such, is deeply upsetting. Englands covid 19 rules. Im very proud by the way that our community is pulling together at this difficult time today, we can say that our long and the way in which local People National hibernation is beginning have been supporting one another. We can and we will come to come to an end. But can we trust through this difficult time. The Prime Minister . Thank you, mr speaker. Hes been found out. Hear, hear there were also he either dodges the question tributes to an mps or he gives dodgy answers. Researcher who found himself and whats it like being a care at the scene. Worker during a pandemic . Mr speaker, i would like to pay particular tribute to james antell, mps try to find out. A member of my own staff who not only used his own shirt to stem the bleeding of one victim, do you feel valued for what you do . But continued resuscitation on a second victim until no. Not. The paramedics arrived. Recent protests on the streets of westminster have highlighted concerns about War Memorials i feel valued by the such as the cenotaph. Company that i work for. A conservative, jonathan gullis, i dont feel valued is proposing a new law to protect by members of the public. War memorials from desecration, all that to come and more with higher penalties for offenders. From the uks four parliaments ministers have promised after a week dominated to look at the issue. By the Prime Ministers announcement let us not forget the sacrifice of a major relaxation and bravery of those who paid of the coronavirus restrictions in england. The ultimate price young men and women who gave up their futures, their loves, their lives and their dreams to ensure the freedoms they once knew were protected from tyranny for us, the unborn generations who sit idly by as monuments pubs, restaurants and hotels can re open from the 4th dedicated to their eternal memory are desecrated. Of july, with restrictions. I will not sit idly by, so can places of worship, playgrounds, cinemas, libraries, theme parks and hairdressers. Small weddings are back. But gyms, nightclubs and swimming and nor will i be silenced. Pools remain closed, and theres still no cricket. Borisjohnson said the progress made tackling the virus meant it was also its more than six months safe to relax the two metre since the general election, social distancing rule, but some mps have yet up to a point. To make their first speech where it is possible to keep two in the commons. Metres apart, people should. But where it is not, we will advise people to keep a conservative, mark eastwood, who won the seat of dewsbury a social distance of one metre from labour, used his maiden speech plus meaning they should remain one metre apart, while taking mitigations to reduce the risk of transmission. To pay tribute to his mother. At the age of three, i was abandoned by my father, forcing me and my mother to move to a Council Estate in thornhill lees, dewsbury, he said his governments principle was to trust the British Public and the wilton estate in batley. To use their common sense. At first, it was a real struggle for my mother, from now on, we will ask people to follow guidance on social contact raising a child as a lone parent while working shifts instead of legislation. At batley hospital and, eventually, the then newly opened dewsbury hospital. There are significant challenges facing any single mother when raising a child, let alone one as difficult as me. In that spirit, we advise that from the 4th ofjuly, two households of any size should be mps well, those who can able to meet in any setting, have returned to westminster, inside or out. And holyrood and stormont are meeting physically. But the senedd in cardiff remains the only Uk Parliament to sit only virtually, despite the protests of one ms, neil mcevoy, of the Welsh National party, who was logged out after a brief chamber sit in on wednesday. That does not mean they must always be the same two households. It will be possible, for instance, i am aware that one member is in the chamber and filming to meet one set of grandparents one himself and broadcasting to that point on social media. Weekend, the others at the following weekend. Today, we can say that our long i will ask for that member to be national hibernation is beginning removed now from the virtual to come to an end and life parliament and we will be closing is returning to our streets and to our shops, the bustle is starting to come back, and a new, but cautious the chamber in due course. Optimism is palpable. But i must say to the house it my advice to mr mcavoy is not would be all too easy for that frost to play games with your parliament. To return, and that is why elinjones, with a fleeting appearance by neil mcevoy there. We will continue to trust now, more than 18 months ago, the retired judge Dame Laura Cox found that bullying and sexual in the common sense harassment have long been tolerated and the Community Spirit and concealed at westminster. Of the british people mps have now agreed to set up to follow this guidance, to carry us through and to see us an independent Disciplinary Panel to deal with claims of wrongdoing. To victory over this virus and i commend, mr speaker, this statement to the house. From the opposition, a guarded welcome. We will, of course, scrutinise the details of this announcement. We will study the guidance, the leader of the commons, and there are obviously a number jacob rees mogg, said of questions that need to be answered, but overall, that the behaviour of some mps has i welcome this statement. Disgraced and shamed i believe the government is trying parliamentary democracy. To do the right thing and in that, we will support them. And the snp warned that other ive had people come to see me countries were now experiencing who have been treated in a way that a second wave. Makes my skin crawl, that you cannot believe that senior people would have behaved to people subordinate to them in such a way in any workplace let alone in the house of commons, which ought to be a model of good behaviour and thats why we have to have the counterbalancing bit, that we cant give mps an opportunity to delve into the personal details of a case, and try it effectively a second time. A similar experience here would amount to notjust a health disaster, but an economic disaster. It would wipe out all of the hard won progress, all the self sacrifice over recent months. It is vital that our collective there were fears that allowing mps efforts remain focused on preventing the disaster to debate the independent panels of a second spike. 2a hours after his lockdown statement, borisjohnson returned to face mps for Prime Ministers findings in the commons questions and sir keir starmer could give members a platform returned to ask his promised questions about the performance to blacken their accusers name. Of the nhs system to track those with the virus. Labours shadow leader if two thirds of those with covid 19 are not being contacted, of the commons had also been contacted by a victim. That is a big problem. Because if we dont get track, trace and isolate properly running, we cannot open the economy, we cannot prevent infection spreading. What the complainant said was, borisjohnson said nhs test i do not want the serious case. And trace was contacting the vast and i wont say what it is, majority of those who tested positive. But it is very serious. And it is a formidable achievement,. Being debated, of being named, mr speaker, and yesterday, of being called a liar the right honourable gentleman was kind enough actually to say or slandered. That he supported our policy and where complainants feel that and supported our programme. If the report is debated and that i seem to remember him saying that will take place, they will not come loud and clear yesterday. Today and as i say i understand the constraints of the profession in which he used forward because they are too scared. To work, i know how it works. Yesterday, he seemed to be yo yoing back into a position of opposition. But a conservative thought voters which is it . Should decide an mps fate. Is he supporting what we are doing, there is a very fundamental difference between members of parliament and all other staff members. Its that we are elected by the people and we are responsible or is he against it . To the people. And the people must have the final say, whether we come here in the first place or when we leave or how we leave, keir starmer said their exchanges and thats very important. Were following a pattern. However distinguished a week earlier, the two leaders had an independent panel is, only the people have the final say. Clashed over Child Poverty, with the Prime Minister accused does any honourable member honestly, in this house, think of getting his numbers wrong. That their constituents will complain when this house takes action against something that is abhorrent enough to mean hes been found out. Expulsion from this house . He either dodges the question good luck selling that on the doorstep or he gives dodgy answers. Ive been found completely wanting, mr speaker, no more witnesses. I rest my case. But youve certainly voted for me, will the Prime Minister do so you should carry on getting your say. The decent thing and correct the record in relation it is a nonsense and its not to Child Poverty . What our constituents mr speaker, im happy to point out are calling for. To my learned friend that actually there are 100,000 fewer children in absolute poverty, 500,000 children falling below thresholds of low income and material deprivation. No constituent will have been this government, as he knows, in touch with anyone in this house is massively increasing saying, do you know what . Universal credit seven billion more to help the poorest and neediest i really want my right families in our country. To keep my slightly wrong were getting on with it, were taking the tough decisions, mp in place. Not a single one. And he still cannot and in the end, mps did vote to block all commons debates on complaints. Now, the coronavirus pandemic has shone a light on how we care for older people in care homes. And the weekly clap for carers also make up his mind. Highlighted the work of those who care for Vulnerable People either in institutions or in their own home. Mps on the health and social Care Committee took evidence from care workers, who told them they felt undervalued, talking about Child Poverty. Poorly paid and demoralised. The Prime Minister. The lockdown is gradually being lifted in other parts of the uk too although in scotland and wales, the two metre rule remains. In wales, the message remains stay two metres apart, that is the safe way to behave. Do you feel valued for what you do . The science we have seen is no. Not. I feel valued by the the science from sage, saying that company that i work for. If you halve the distance, the risk increases somewhere i dont feel valued between two and five times by members of the public. Greater than if you stay especially since covid, its been tough. We get tutted at because were at a two metre distance. In uniform out in the street because people are telling us we shouldnt have our uniforms on, but they dont understand what a domiciliary care worker does, that we go to peoples houses, we work in our uniforms and we keep those uniforms on throughout the day in everybodys house. We cant change. In scotland, people will be allowed to meet up with two other households indoors from the 10th ofjuly and pubs and restaurants can re open i was pulled over on my way from the 15th of july. Into work and told i wasnt a key the first minister said the move worker because they didnt recognise was possible thanks to the real, sustained progress made in suppressing coronavirus. Presiding officer, our challenge, the role of a registered manager. Which is not an easy one, is to manage all of this change while keeping this virus and thats really sad, firmly under control. And we just need to really get in fact, if at any stage the message out there that this there appears to be a risk sector does do quite a lot of its resurgence, our path out to support the wider of lockdown will be halted system and it needs to be and we may even have that we have that recognition. To go backwards. To avoid that, we must get as close as possible to elimination of the virus now and build confidence in our ability to control it in future through surveillance, testing, Contact Tracing and, where necessary, targeted suppression measures. Nicola sturgeon. At the weekend, there was this amazing sign in a shop window saying, 30 off for all nhs employees. Well, i think thats really demoralising for them because theyre making the same effort, theyre doing the same work. There was people here that the home secretary priti patel has worked 14 hour days, promised to implement went to the shops at the end the recommendations of a review of the evening, trying to provide for their family, but werent given the opportunity to cut the line just because they didnt into the windrush scandal in full. Wear an nhs badge. Turnover of staff among care home workers and home care workers can be more than 40 a year. She made a commons statement to Mark Windrush day 72 years how much is pay a factor in terms of recruitment after the empire windrush arrived and retention of staff . At tilbury docks in essex, its a big factor. Im sure marlene will agree. Carrying people from the caribbean who would make new lives here. And that is based on the funding but thousands of people who came to the uk from commonwealth for these beds, because the majority countries between 19118 of them are funded by and 1971 were wrongly told the local authority or ccgs. They were in britain illegally. Wendy williams, an inspector ccgs or clinical commissioning groups. Of constabulary, carried out sue ann balcombe said a review into the episode, making 30 recommendations, including the appointment what her home was paid defined of a migrants commissioner. Mps were angry about the slow rate what she could pay her staff. Of compensation payments. We arent able to pay priti patel said the victims had a london living wage, were only able to pay suffered unspea kable injustices. Them a minimum wage, the review itself was damning and it would be something that wed about the conduct of the home office consider if the funding and unequivocal about the ignorance was there for that to happen. And institutional thoughtlessness towards the race and the history of the Windrush Generation by the department. I was clear when Wendy Williams published her Lessons Learned review that i would listen and i would act. The mps were told that people did not understand the complexity i have heard what she has said and i will be accepting of what care workers were asked to do, especially the recommendations in response to coronavirus. Theyre having to make critical judgements about peoples medical she has made in full. Condition, they were being asked to support nursing tasks, which had previously been done by primary care. And alongside that, they were then not getting recognition about what they were doing, and i think thats had the governments windrush an impact on morale. Compensation scheme managed to compensate just 60 people i think the clap for the carers, some of the aspects of key worker recognition was great, in its first year of operation. But we had similar stories to marlene and sue ann. We had people being told they werent important, the home secretary talked about more they werent key workers. Progress today, but she must know that that rate of progress isjust too slow, given the number of years that have elapsed since this scandal first came to light and already, raina summerson. In northern ireland, this scheme has been in operation for over a year. An independent review into mass resignations at the watchdog i agree. The payments and the way which oversees care homes in which payments have been made have been far too slow is to be carried out. Im not apologising for that at all. I have outlined, mr deputy speaker, nine Board Members resigned after claiming they were not in my statement that it is consulted on key decisions taken right that we treat each during the pandemic, individual with the respect when inspections at care homes have been reduced. And the dignity that they deserve. Their departure prompted an urgent these are complicated cases. Question to the Health Minister at stormont. Given your press statement over the last 2a hours, you said that you wished that the Board Members had approached you and raised the issues so you could resolve them. And now we know that e mails the snp said the windrush were coming forward from the former scandal was a direct result of the governments hostile chair and the interim chief executive to your chief medical officer and permanent secretary as far back as the end of april. When did you become aware environment policy. And what have you done in that time period to try and resolve the issues . Im concerned, mr deputy speaker, i thank the member for her point. That in todays statement, the home secretary does not i was made aware in early may that there were tensions between the executive and the board of rqia. Unequivocally commit to the sort i wasnt aware that it was to the extent that it is, neither do i think is the chief medical officer of root and branch review or the permanent secretary of the hostile environment policy within the department, recommended by the Lessons Learned review. So when their resignations did come it is all very well to agree through, they did come that black lives matter, as a surprise. But actions speak louder than words. The root causes can be traced back to legislation from the 1960s and 80s, much of which is complex. But of course, i appreciate the honourable lady has not fully read the report and has quoted robin swann. Selectively and as i said, now, the return of the wedding i will come back to the house before season up to a point the summer recess to discuss has prompted great excitement the specifics as to how in some quarters, even the odd we will be implementing. Purchase of a hat, although possibly answer my questions as ive said, mr deputy speaker, not in one ministers household. I will be returning back i dont want to add to my reputation for eccentricity by admitting to the house to outline how we will be implementing that my wife and i delayed our the recommendations marriage because the late from the Lessons Learned review. Lord callaghan unexpectedly delayed of the 1,275 people who have claimed the election in 1978, compensation thus far, so i fully understand only 60 payments have been made 00 11 45,966 2147483051 42 37,697 and 529 people have had to wait 2147483051 42 37,697 4294966103 13 29,430 for more than a year the frustrations that many young couples face. Lord true, the last of the great romantics, although he and lady true have been married for more than a0 years. The resumption of weddings is certainly good news for the church of england, but not necessarily for choirs. As the noble lord the minister will know, hymns are most often a focal point of a wedding service. And given yesterdays announcement about live performances, can the minister give us any more detailed guidance about singing in churches, both choral and congregational . Now, my lords, i do very much understand the point that the right reverend makes, but the scientific advice at the moment in relation to singing not only in relation to churches, i may say is that singing in public spaces, because of its impact, does carry the risk of spreading covid, so the scientific advice in relation to singing generally is that it should be avoided in all public spaces. The sadness at the singing ban is widely shared. A conservative mp feared it might deter otherwise regular churchgoers. I used to enjoy a hymn sandwich before this interdict, but ive broken the habit. How is he going to lure us back if were not allowed to sing . Can i suggest, as a minimum, shorter services, even shorter sermons, some comfortable words from the book of common prayer and an end to prating prelates . Well, andrew selous, sing to that one indeed, mr speaker. But what i would say to my right honourable friend is that i hope hes taken part in some of the uplifting online worship and services that have been available to him during lockdown, and i would say to him that its the warmth of the welcome, the opportunity for fellowship and the chance to grow in faith through proud worship and the revelation of gods word that will prove an irresistible temptation to my right honourable friend to return. Andrew selous skilfully negotiating that challenge about shorter sermons and prating prelates. Well, that was the week in parliament. Thank you for watching. Alicia mccarthy will be back on Bbc Parliament at 11pm on monday evening with the latest from the commons and the lords. But from me, david cornock, bye for now. It certainly feels like summer has come to an abrupt end, hasnt it . Notjust the outbreaks of rain and fresh air but also the blustery winds and more of the same to come on monday and then through the course of the week perhaps more thundery showers on the way. This is what it looks like on the satellite picture. A big low pressure sitting top of us, there for a little while and it will stick around through most of monday and the weather front spiralling into the centre of that low pressure, a lot of isobars there, a big Pressure Gradient that means the wind races into the centre of that low hence it is gusty out there. And this is what looks through the early hours of monday. The heaviest of the rain has been around the north west of england, cumbria, lancashire and parts of the pennines they got a real dose of rain, a Flood Warning in place around keswick. 0ver monday we will see further heavy spells of rain in the north but in the afternoon it looks as if that will give way to sunshine and showers and another blustery day as gusts of wind in some places will reach a0 miles an hour, near gale force for the time of the year. Temperature is below the average. Around 15 degrees there for glasgow and possibly reaching 19 in london. On tuesday, the jet stream pushes another system in our direction, an area of low pressure not quite as developed as the one we have across right now but it will bring cloud and outbreaks of rain in the morning in the south and to the north i think this is where the focus will be as far as weather goes, heavy showers, some of them thundery across parts of scotland and maybe the north of england. Temperatures again for many of us around the mid high teens. That was tuesday and this is wednesday. Outbreaks of rain in the morning and the south clearing away giving way to sunshine and then showers will start to develop quite widely across the uk during the course of wednesday afternoon. Temperatures around 17 20 celsius with the wind a little lighter from tuesday onwards. This is the summary for the week ahead. A mixed bag across the uk. Sometimes brightness and showers and the temperatures may gently creep up towards the end of the week. This is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world.
