Captain tom moore, who raised almost £40 million for the Uks National Health Service is awarded yesterday, mr speaker, you organise a knighthood, to be the test of a new system for bestowed by the queen. Im looking forward to that. Divisions that would ensure that i hope shes not very members can vote whilst remaining heavy handed with the sword. Six feet apart. We will minimise the laughter. Because by then i might be number of other part orders on the a rather poor old weak soul. Estate encouraging mps and staff and others to work from home, and we will continue to work closely together in consultation with members across the house, not least the Procedure Committee on the appropriate next steps. We will need to understand from the house authorities where adaptations can be implemented and the Procedure Committee itself acknowledges this is key without prejudice to the houses ability to carry out its hello and welcome to viewers business effectively. At the same time, we must ensure that any steps taken are in line with the in the uk and around the world. Governments advice to the country at large. I would consider the views rolls royce has announced its of the Procedure Committee very cutting at least 9,000 jobs carefully a nd of the Procedure Committee very carefully and keep these issues globally because of the impact under review, but i would finally of the Coronavirus Crisis on its business. Like to reassure those members with most of the companys Civil Aerospace staff are employed in britain. Underlying health conditions, who have been told to shield or are uk government ministers are under pressure to delay plans to reopen receiving specific government advice some schools in england on the first about their health, that we are ofjune, after at least 11 local working with the house authorities to see how they can continue to councils expressed safety concerns or warnings that they wont be ready. Contribute to proceedings within the house. I will call alistair the British Medical Association the Doctors Union carmichael, who has asked to speak, has said schools should reopen for no more than two minutes. As soon as it is safe to do so adding that a zero risk alistair carmichael. Thank you mr approach is not possible. Speaker and thank you for a living authorities in spain say it will be compulsory for all citizens this urgent question. Mr speaker, i including children over six do not want this debate to be about to wear masks in public spaces from thursday if it is difficult members of parliament only, to socially distance. The announcement forms part of the governments plan to ease the lockdown in the country. Or the orthe number or the number of. Today. The Brazils Health ministry has announced that almost 1,200 people died with coronavirus in the last 2a hours. Its the first time brazils daily death toll exceeded 1,000 people. Governments response to that was to the country has more insist that the tarmac in my case than 270,000 registered cases. And nearly 2 Million People have now almost the entire leg of this been evacuated from coastal areas of bangladesh and india, country to stay in and their homes. As a powerful cyclone approaches. The Mass Evacuation has been complicated by the coronavirus pandemic, as many of those something that is being done by leaving their homes leading government advisers led by are having to socially distance. Invitation. If ever there were a first, lets look in more detail case of this case of doing what i at those globaljob losses say not what i do, this is it. Mr announced by rolls royce. The chief executive is warren east. Speaker, this is also blind to the he told me earlier that this was indeed a terrible time for his employees inadequacies. Like many members, i but that the cuts were necessary to find it stilted and artificial. But protect the future of the company. If this is a choice between that and the safety of members of this house. Then there is no trace at all and the covid 19 pandemic is affecting should only be safe to do so. And so the whole of the global commercial for all members. Not just should only be safe to do so. And so for all members. Notjust those who live within driving distance. As aerospace sector, the whole of the Global Commercial Aerospace sector, and whilst ourselves and other companies have weeks made yesterday, the house of taken ourselves and other companies have ta ken swift ourselves and other companies have taken swift action to deal with the commons has supported local. If the immediate trough that we are seeing at the moment, then its now clear leader is really satisfied that we that its going to take years for the industry as a whole to recover can bring in to the 2nd ofjune while charging a duty of care to the sort of levels that we saw in towards them, are we then able to 2019, and that means that we, like return to work . Without risk to others, have to match our capacity themselves or which they live with. It is widely reported that the to meet that future expected demand, motivation for this is to get the support behind the Prime Minister by and unfortunately that means were going to have to reduce our wednesday afternoon. It is even headcount significantly. You say it reported to be with the leader yesterday, that there is to get more may take years to recover. Do you mps into they should be really have an idea of how many years . Support remembers. Someone has a yeah, well, we are plugged into big receipt told them how things are supposed to be done for some mr speaker, we have demonstrated in aeroplane manufacturers, clearly, and hundreds of airlines around the recent weeks that the business of this house can be done from behind world, and the consensus is emerging the screen, as we do right now. From amongst that ecosystem that, you behind a computer screen. Not from know, its going to be 3 5 years. Behind a computer screen. Not from behind a computer screen. Not from behind a screen a perspex, the only purpose of works is to shield the government was scrutiny and the so, you know, we dont actually Prime Ministerfrom ridicule. The leader of the house must think know. Nobody knows exactly how long thats going to be, but its again. They the point the right going to be of that order that we can be reasonably certain. And honourable gentleman was making parliamentary questions, it was obviously our capacity, just a few therefore trivial and i fault therefore trivial and i fault therefore ignore it. I am very sorry months ago we were looking at a much, much larger market than we are that the right and will gentleman now going to face over the next doesnt think that the government is several years. An essential task in his moxie. I what do you say to your workers here think is an extremely position for in the uk about the prospect of you the government to take. And if the having to cut theirjob . Liberal party does have liberal well, this is a terrible time for figures, to take, the democratic anybody in that position, and its accountability is fundamental to how going to be a very difficult day accountability is fundamental to how a system works. The right and will gentleman from his area in the today for our employees, because we cant tell them exactly today, we Shetland Islands tells us that the remote system doesnt work well enough, and then he says that we have to consult with representatives should also continue with it. I think we have a duty to members of and Union Representatives and so on, parliament to return to doing our about the granular detail of these work thoroughly and properly and job cuts. What we can say is that we are doing effectively. And that is what we would do in line with the government this of course because its advice and the five test and important that we protect the future ensuring a safe working environment of our business. Andl ensuring a safe working environment and i will reshape my thanks to her for what she has done, because people working in the house, the employees of the house, they are able to work safely and the number the British Trade union is expected to come in is not unite has responded to the rolls royce news with calls for government to work with unions thought likely to rise significantly when the house returns at wits end. And industry to guide the sector through the crisis. Im joined by unites assistant general secretary for manufacturing steve turner. We have just lost the next members im going to go to the next one. Good morning. What is your reaction to news of these job losses . Like thank you mr speaker, can i thank yourself, first of all, our thoughts the right honourable memberfor are with these workers, their orkney and shetland is, for granting families and their communities, not this as a question. Ijust want just for rolls royce but in the orkney and shetland is, for granting this as a question. I just want to say to the leader of the house, that extended supply chain, that will be was a fantastic performance last week about democracy in parliament devastated for this. Warren east talks about this devastating use but and sovereignty. Its all style and he is not one of them who will be no substance. If it wasnt so serious i would have nominated them affected, of course. This is a hasty foran award. Mr knee jerk reaction to what we serious i would have nominated them for an award. Mr speaker, serious i would have nominated them foran award. Mr speaker, we serious i would have nominated them for an award. Mr speaker, we had a joint position for the we have had understand to be a very deep crisis right now. We do understand the briefings from health england. Challenges the Aviation Industry faces and aerospace as a direct before his unilateral declaration that the government will not renew the temporary hybrid proceedings consequence, going into the future, and that if we are not going to be that he had a discussion from Public Health england, what was their manufacturing engines as we were advice and will he publish it . Can i then shareholders and others, not correct him again, that he that we just rolls royce, should be looking at plan b. We have a whole range of challenges in front of us including will be expected to go to work, we the Climate Emergency and the need for greenerjobs and a greener are at work at all times and the economy and therefore we need to diversify and think about what sort government own advice as to if you of future we have here in can work from home then do so. That rolls royce and how we defend jobs is still the governments advice and and families, and loyal communities, across all of our nations, when travelling safely. Can he confirm times are hard. You know, they have that he is not conjecture tongue been very happy to take the governments money to furlough projecting government advice and how members are expected to travel than thousands of workers at rolls royce, and were not going to allow them when there is a reduced service . Mr simply tojust and were not going to allow them simply to just walk away when the speaker, everyone knows someone who has been a victim of this disease, going gets tough. We now need to stand together as a nation and think not just a frame, has been a victim of this disease, notjust a frame, but about what sort of economy do we has been a victim of this disease, not just a frame, but actually has been a victim of this disease, notjust a frame, but actually died. This isnt a bounce back virus as want, and what role Companies Like the Prime Minister said, the rolls royce can play in that survival of the fittest. We have a Diverse Workforce and our community economy, and requires the government to stand up, i understand that of course, with Long Term Support for that we encourage, so what Risk Assessment has he asked to be made this industry, Long Term Support for to ensure that members and the extra aviation, until tourism and Business HouseStaff Required from the time travel returns, and i understand the can return safely . Can at the leader difficulties we are in, the challenges, as ive said, but we that confirm that on returning, that need government supporting the long term good jobs and high value the proceedings and social distancing measures have been worked exports from the uk. I did ask mr out and unsustainable in the chamber and what was the extra waiting time east about the fact he had furloughed workers and yet was now for voting at the practised voting . Going to announce mass redundancies, this is not mr speaker, a battle of which the chancellor said when he was introducing the furlough scheme eve ryo ne was introducing the furlough scheme was to avoid those very this is not mr speaker, a battle of everyone at good versus bad, is redundancies. What do you think of shirkers versus workers, some ministers have said, this is about the fact that they have taken that money and now they are still making parliament in a good model and people redundant . Well, i dont employer. We need a face return, blame them for taking the money. Thats the purpose of the scheme. Not we need a phase return, not to when we negotiated that scheme overpower nhs staff are not to without treasury the whole intent empower public staff. Finally, can was to save thousands and thousands ofjobs and i think it is a great the leader confirm that the parliamentary estate is covert free . Movement and indeed for government and does he agree with the as well to come to terms with the scientific advice that it is about fa ct as well to come to terms with the fact the government had to intervene observed levels of infection and not there. The government needs to move about a fixed date . Elite of the on to thejob there. The government needs to move house. Lead mr speaker, most of on to the Job Retention scheme, to allow flexibility within the scheme to allow employers like rolls royce those questions were actually to allow employers like rolls royce a nswered those questions were actually answered at the commission. We did to bring employees back on short term working, job share and job have this on tuesday, the right rotation programmes. The chancellor under your lady is a member of this. Has done that. There will be flexibility from the end ofjuly. Do u nfortu nately, under your lady is a member of this. Unfortunately, because of a doggy you think it needs to be brought in connection, we could hardly hit her sooner . Absolutely, it needs to be during the proceedings of the brought in right now and it needs to commission, and maybe she couldnt be clear about those flexibilities. Hear all of the points. We had reassurance from the health we have been arguing from day one we authorities that this would be a need to support short time 50 covid 19 secure work they place by working with the state schemes the time we come back. After the subsidising the remainder of those hours, so we continue to pay workers whitsun recess, then a risk but we keep all workers in assessment has been carried out by employment. This is a very skilled, the parliamentary authorities and the parliamentary authorities and the enormous debts are being taken highly knowledgeable workforce, with to help style of entry staff. What thousands of years, practically, of experience, that if we lose will not is the house doing . Where there is return, and it is also about kids, extra cleaning, the same mechanisms its about the next generation that are being used to clean pads as are wa nt its about the next generation that want decentjobs, being used on the london its about the next generation that want decent jobs, apprenticeships into skilled vocations in life, underground. There, the congestion bringing up their own families, charge is being paid by members of buying their home. This is about security for communities. It is not staff that they can drive in and the good enough for rolls royce as a parking under the abbey road gardens is being made available. Consider National Company with responsibilities to the uk economy. All steps are being made by the for all of us, actually, to take the parliaments as the lady knows, to money and now run. We need to sit say it know that it is safe to echo. Back and think with a cool head exactly what is the future for is this in line with government rolls royce and other businesses workspace, because it is. The key across aviation and aerospace are question, for all honourable members right now. Like mike but the truth to ask themselves is, to they think is there will be reduced demand come that the proper scrutiny and in all likelihood, when this crisis legislative processes are essential, if they are, they need to be here. Is over, for air travel yes, but if they are not, they need to be the truth is. For aircraft engines. Had. It seems to me that these that is the reality, isnt it . |j proper processes are essential part of our process and our country understand the challenges. That is a functioning and therefore we cannot reality but doesnt mean. If it is do ourjob properly functioning and therefore we cannot do our job properly from functioning and therefore we cannot do ourjob properly from home, that is therefore aligned with the govans advice.
