pm may: the national health service is indeed looking for savings within the nhs which will be reinvested in the nhs. >> hear! pm may: it is this government that is providing not just the 8 billion of extra funding in nhs requested that 10 billion index refunding requested by the national health service on transformation plans developed on the levels in the interest of local people by local commissions. >> hear! >> it is very strange the prime minister should say that, mr. speaker because the committee shared by our honorable friend says it is four point 5 billion not 10 billion. that is quite a big difference there. mr. speaker, part of the reason for the strain on our national health services is that more than one million people are not receiving the social care that they need. mr. corbyn: as a result of this, there has been an increase in emergency admissions for older patients. margaret wrote to me this week saying, "it is not funny," -- [crosstalk] mr. corbyn: she described how her 89-year-old mother suffered, leading to hospital admissions due to lack of care. she said "my mother is worth more than this." what action will the prime minister take to stop the neglect of older people which ends up forcing them to take a &e admissions? pm may: of course social care is an area of concern and social care is a key issue for many people. that is why the government has introduced better care fund and introduced the social care for authorities. workingncouraging together at the health service and local authorities to deal with precisely the issues he has raised on social care. i will just say this to the right honorable gentleman. a social careuced precept. let us look at what labor did in their 13 years. pm may: 13 years and they did nothing. >> hear! mr. speaker, as the prime minister will most, health spending tripled under the labor government. and the level of dissatisfaction and satisfaction with the national health service were at their highest ever in 2010. this government's choice was to cut social care by 4.6 billion pounds in the last parliament. mr. corbyn: at the same time, space to cute billions in corporate taxation bills. that means, it is affecting patients leaving hospitals as well. in the last four years, the number of patients unable to be transferred from a hospital due to the lack of adequate social care has increased by one third. will the prime minister ensure her government guarantees all of our elderly people the dignity they deserve? >> hear! pm may: i recognize the importance of providing them with the dignity they deserve. he says of this government has done nothing on social care. we have introduced a social care precept that is being made by authorities and local authorities and we have introduced the better care fund. if he talks about support for elderly people, i would remind him which government is it that has put each of all locked in place? it was to ensure the largest increase in pensions for elderly people. >> hear! mr. corbyn: the precept is a drop in the ocean compared to what is necessary for social care. to give you an example, mr. speaker, the whole house i am sure would be appalled by the bbc panorama program this week showing all of the people systematically mistreated. the care quality commission's assessment that care homes run y the group requiring improvement. the commission goes on to say the owner has allowed services to deteriorate further and has "utterly neglected the duty of care to the residents of these homes." what action is her government going to take to protect the residents of those homes? honorablee right gentleman raises the issue of the quality of care that is provided in homes and the way in which elderly people are treated. i am sure everybody is appalled when we the examples of poor and terrible treatment that is given to elderly and vulnerable people in care homes. what we do about it is ensure to step ine the -- and take action and has powers to make sure nobody, nobody in the chain of responsibility is immune from legal accountability, but we know there is more that can be done. that is why the c2c is looking into ways that it can look into its processes, increase efficiency. my honorable friend, the minister for community health and care, is going to be writing cqc shortly to see if we can improve what they do. that deals with these issues. is there more we can do? yes, and we are doing it. mr. corbyn: that home was notrstaffed and we should be blaming underpaid and hard-pressed care workers but ensuring there are enough of them properly paid and all of the comes. there was a serious problem of was a lastng and it labor government that established the sea qc and i think -- the cqc. the government proposed that patients may have to show passport or other id to access nonemergency health care. has the government condered that the impact of this on elderly people the last census showed up nine point 5 million people in this country don't have passports? rather than disguising the argument, can you provide the nhs and social care with the money it needs to provide care for the people in these two support? pm may: over the course of this parliament, the government will be spending half a trillion pounds on the national health service. >> hear! the right honorable a gentleman asks about a process to ensure people who are receiving nhs treatment are entitled to receive that. for many years, there has been a concern about health tourism, about people turning up in the u.k., accessing health services and not paying for them. we want to make sure that those who are entitled to use the services are indeed able to see those at the point of delivery but we deal with health tourism and those who should be paying for the use of our health services. >> mr. corbyn! arehe next three years going to be the toughest ever 2018 --unding and in nhs funding and 2018 would see a cut for the first time ever in this country. mr. corbyn: the cost of health tourism is over 100 times less than the 22 billions of cut the hisis facing from government. mr. speaker, under this government, there are 6000 fewer mental health nurses. record 3.9 million people on nhs waiting lists, all of us who &e no wait times are getting longer and longer and there are one million people in this country not receiving the social care they need. instead of looking for excuses and scapegoats, shouldn't the prime mr. be ensuring that health and social care -- prime minister the ensuring that health and social care are funded? notat the stresses placed on our very hard-working nhs and social care staff? of pounds extra into social care through the social care precept and the better care fund. half a trillion pounds being spent on the national health service. a record level of investment in mental health and the national health service. >> order! members must not attempt to shut down the prime minister. the question has been asked and heard and the answer must be heard. the prime minister. pm may: it is a fundamental point the right honorable gentleman refrains from engine in, it is this. we can only afford to pay for the national health service and social care if we have a strong economy creating wealth. >> hear! pm may: that is precisely what he will he or from the chancellor of the exchequer. will hearl hear -- he from the chancellor of the issue. tomy constituents voted leave the european union. >> hear! >> many of those people are unhappy and frustrated at what they see are delaying tactics by summer meiners who do not -- seemremainders who do not to understand the meaning of the word democracy. >> this is very courteous. speaker: the honorable gentleman has a question. every question should be fully and with politeness heard. the honorable gentleman. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i will repeat it. [laughter] >> they don't seem to understand the meaning of the word democracy which i would remind them is government by the people, the rule of the majority. with that in mind, can my right honorable friend give my constituents and me, what assurance can you give that it will be done by the end of march next year? pm may: my honorable friend, it is absolutely right to make the key point, a referendum was 6-1,ed by this parliament, at the people should have the opportunity to vote on the membership of the european union. the turnout was high. the public gave their critics. there must be no attempt to weasel out of this. this is the government that will deliver. >> robertson? we have repeatedly brought up the devastating impacts on disabled people from the u.k. benefits system. the government plans to cut support for people with long-term health difficulties by 30 pounds a week. colleague, he proposed a motion which was passed by this house with support from both labour and conservative members for these cuts to be postponed. will be prime minister act on the votes of this house? >> hear! thank you, right honorable gentleman. what we have been doing in benefits for disabled people, the overall funding for disability benefits will be higher every year. we have been focusing support on those who most need it. and those who were not able to get into the workplace. for those who are able at some stage to get into the workplace, we have been providing a wider package of support. over the last three years, at nearly 600,000 more disabled people are in the workplace with the dignity of having a job, which is what many people would disabilities want to have. we are focusing help on those most needed and helping those with his abilities who want to get into the workplace to do that. >> the prime minister will make changes impacting on benefits recipients in work. will the prime minister confirm that she has no intention of helping people with disabilities and medical conditions? why should people who are unable to earn a living be punished for their disability or illness by losing 30 pounds a week? the she have any intention of changing that? >> hear! pm may: i have just set out the ways in which we are providing support and help for those people, people who have disabilities. as i said, the overall funding, spending on disability benefits will be higher in every year to 2020 but it was in 2010. it is important to recognize when we give support for people with disabilities, it is ultimately about the benefits system and how much money they are given. for those who are able to get into work and on that part of provide benefits as well because we recognize people on the dignity of getting into the workplace. that is what we are helping people with disabilities who can work to do. >> hear! >> [indiscernible] >> hear! [laughter] will my right honorable friend agree that thousands of road commuters including many of my constituents who use the 812 -- a-12 are on roads that need to be improved? times,d up daily commute would my right honorable friend expect the proposed 1.3 billion and improvingent our road network is warmly welcomed and will do a great deal to in -- to enhance productivity? pm may: my honorable friend is absolutely right. the importance of it infrastructure expenditure in upping to deal with productivity in our economy, and i am pleased about 1.3 billion for new roads shows us investing in the long-term future for britain. jobsll be about delivering and economic growth. it is about making sure that this is an economy that works for everyone. it is just one part of the package that we are proposing but of course, my right honorable friend the chancellor will be setting proposals out more clearly in a few minutes time. >> thank you, mr. speaker. my constituent is in prison in iran. been separateds from her husband and two-year-old daughter for eight months now. she has been on hunger strike and has now -- the prime minister needs to reunite this mother and daughter, this wife with her family. mr. speaker, will it take her death for the government to start taking her seriously? >> hear! obviously, this is a very difficult time for the whole family. i'm sure they're all concerned about the impact attention is having on her health as she is in detention in iran. this is an issue that has been repeatedly raised by the government. i personally raised it with president requesting confirmation of the charges, sentence in the appeals process that nazanin zaghari-ratcliffe will continue to be in contact with her family. that includes the british government remaining ready to help bring mrs. zaghari-ratcliffe's back. >> social problems are either caused or aggravated by the acute shortage of housing. so even if as i had hoped we managed to reduce the net immigrations in this country, we'll have to build far more new homes. isn't the recommendation by the european banking authority to increase by 50% the reserve banks must hold, making it even more costly for them to lend for housing, then for unsecured credit cards, profoundly unhelpful and perverse. >> hear! i hope my right honorable friend will recognize that we are subject to our own regulation authorities. the point he makes about house building is correct. to build more homes. that is something we have been doing. we have seen something like 900,000 new homes being built since 2010. there is more for us to do and that is what this government is working on. brexit and foreign secretary are described as brexit no idea what really means. the time before today the eu more colorful outburst is done with memberships of state. when is the prime minister going to come to grip on her ministers and when is she going to demonstrate to the country and to our eu colleagues that she has a coherent, workable plan for exit? -- for brexit? >> hear! pm may: i have been clear on many occasions. we will be leaving the european union and sugaring article 50 by the -- triggering article 50 by the end of march next year. we do not set out at this stage every single detail of our proposed negotiating strategy because that would be the best way to get the worst possible deal for britain. >> hear! as we leave the european union, maintaining the u.k.'s cutting edge and world leadership in scientific and technological discovery is of paramount importance to our industries and universities. i welcome the prime minister's announcement that each year, we built and that's further 2 billion in research and development. isn't this just the type of vital support our businesses and researchers need rather than the threat from the labour party, to credit?e r&d tax >> hear! pm may: my right honorable friend is absolutely right. the investment we will be putting into research and development is a crucial part of the long-term task we have of ensuring that we have the economy and the growth and prosperity in this country that we need. the new funds will be able to put us in the cutting edge of scientific discovery, which i saw for myself we are already doing this. able to see the really transformational work that is being done coming out of the knowledge base and scientific in the united kingdom. we want to see more of that and that is why we will be reinvesting in it. >> thank you, mr. speaker. eppo's hospitals are destroyed. people are starting. -- people aree starting. we must do more. -- people are starving. we must stop this daily perpetrator of war crime, stripping them of their right to hold the 2018 world cup. >> hear! pm may: the honorable gentleman is right to raise the issue of the appalling atrocities taking place in aleppo and it is right that we, along with our international allies, should be doing all we can to bring this to a stop. you will recognize the issue of who hosts sporting events is not in the government's remit. what we are doing is working with our international allies to put more pressure on russia to stop the appalling atrocities, the appalling attacks taking place in aleppo. what we want to see is an agreement for political transition to syria without president assad. >> does my rightful friend agree that if the u.k. is to remain competitive and our citizens to enjoy the benefits of the digital revolution, it is essential that we should be at the forefront of deployment of both ultrafast broadband and five g mobile connectivity? thei therefore welcome announcement which we are led to believe may be made shortly of a one billion pound investment to achieve this? >> hear! well, my right honorable friend would of course be waiting in anticipation of my right honorable friend, the chancellor, autumn statement. as we look at improving productivity in this country and the economy of the future, the provision of that superfast broadband, the provision of those new technological opportunities for people is absolutely a crucial part of that and something the government recognizes and will act on. >> polly lynch. >> thank you, mr. speaker. police last week, four officers were assaulted in a single 24-hour period. an assault on a police officer is an assault on society. how can we protect front-line officers and when will she reduce the need for -- starving the number of officers on our streets. pm may: can i send our best wishes to those people who were assaulted in her constituency last week. it is important that we recognize when peace officers go for manyty and indeed off-duty, they sometimes find themselves intervening in situations where they find themselves on the receiving end of assaults and violence against them as they are going forward in the mind of duty where others are not and we recognize that. that's in the line -- in the others arey, where not, and we recognize that. we issued provisional figures. we are improving those figures this year. sentencing guidelines allow for an assault on a police officer to be taken as an aggravating factor into account, but also new developments like the body-worn videos provide evidence that people can be brought to justice and the terror assault in the first -- and deter assault in the first place. >> the level of acute hospital bed blocking, does she agree with me that part of the solution is to promote community hospital beds where they still exist in places like salisbury as part of the planning process? >> there are good examples were having those beds is resolving the problem. there are other ways in which it is being done where social workers are being employed by hospital trusts. it is good to recognize a good practice when it is being done. >> thank you mr. speaker. , theyr this month confessed the bbc that he took place in robberies and contacts that murdered british soldiers. he stated he would never disclose information on any loi ira man.n -- and can the minister assure me her majesty's government will apply for the expedition of this request from the republic of ireland? >> the question is whether or not an individual with the action items or that a request to be put in for the appropriate -- that be for the appropriate authorities to take. the rightsay to honorable gentleman is that we do recognize the concerns for those cases where it is still possible to bring people to justice and want to see that being done. >> mr. speaker, during the last six years, there have been three major referendums with varying degrees of excitement. which agree that you can have too much excitement, and will she therefore rule out any further referendums in this ?arliament >> one thing i will certainly rule out as a second reprimand that a second referendum on whether we leave the european union. >> mr. speaker, because of the increasing numbers fighting themselves homeless because of the government's pursuit of austerity. >> the government is taking action and a variety of ways to address the issue of homeless this. one of the key things we need to do is ensure that we see more homes being built in this country. honorablehis to the lady. she talks about austerity in the sort of tone that she refers to it. we should always remember when we are talking about government providing support for individuals, that taxpayers have to pay for that support. many taxpayers of self struggling to get by. >> the prime minister will be aware that a commission came following the rail link. ,oes she welcomed the report and will she commit the governments to ensuring that vision it outlines is delivered? >> i think my humble friend for his question. can i suggest that he applies a little more patience? speaker, and these uncertain times, we all surely agreed that britain needs strong defense. how can the prime minister justify its decision to scrap all of the navy's heavyweight for any replacement? i have to say i don't recognize the picture the right oforable gentleman presents what the government is doing in regards to the armed forces. we are investing aliens of pounds in ensuring our armed forces have the missiles, the boat, the ships for the royal navy, and the other pieces of equipment for the other armed forces. that is not a picture i recognize. would my right honorable friend agree that it would be good for confidence in the rule of law if judges did not enter into speculative public thoughts on cases they are about to hear? we value in this country the independence of our judiciary. when they come to make their judgments in court, but also they are independent and it is to them to determine what they choose to put in their speeches or not, it is not for the government to do. as millions of public sector workers face another year of suppressed pay, after another week of shambolic brexit negotiations, and with a national health service racing a winter crisis and crying out for cash, does the prime minister worry that her government is only just about managing? >> i have to say to the right honorable gentleman that we are very clear about the knot of money we're putting international health. he talks about negotiations. thenegotiations for leaving european union don't formally start until the trigger article 50. we will be triggering article 50 by the end of march of next year. what the right honorable gentleman wants to do is stop us from leaving the european union by denying the people. he wants to deny people what they want, we are going to give it to them. now rise the concerns of millions across the concerns who worry about the fuel duty. also, the pump pricing and how jump like a rocket and fall like a stone. recognize is that many people look with very great concern that the cost of motoring in this country. ofuggest as i have to some my other honorable friends that he is a little more patient. >> mr. speaker, the prime minister has talked about her andies for special care certainly we have to judge her for her act. there has been a 37% on average cut in local authority funding. nearly a quarter of all of those of the people in need of social care have been denied any count it all. what is she going to do about this? >> the right honorable lady might have noticed that i've answered several questions about , and i will give the answer that i have given previously -- what this government is doing about social care is putting more money into the better care fund, giving more opportunity, and making sure that health and social care come together to ensure that we deal with their issues. >> have many of us would charge into a darkened store at night knowing that inside were three mask wearing crowbar yielding types trying to rob a store? my two constituents did just that, and by intervening, the thugs fled, leaving the money. the staff or hurt less, and one of the gentlemen was hurt himself. wagering and praising their courage and selflessness in this extraordinary act of bravado? >> i absolutely agree with my honorable friend, and i commend the bravery and courage that was shown by those two individuals. garthk it was nigel asked who stepped into that situation and made it not as bad as it could have been. that is incredible bravery. there are many members of the public who would not be willing to step in that way. >> does the prime minister believed that -- i think we should see second work is representation aboard, at a big no apology for the fact that this government is going to deliver on that. for all the using government, the labour party did nothing. you have been watching prime minister's questions at the british house of commons. questions time is live every wednesday at 7:00 a.m. eastern on c-span two, and is again sunday night at 9:00 p.m. here on c-span. you can also watch anytime online at c-span.org. 4, we are december hosting a discussion of the december 1941 attack on pearl harbor on the eve of the 75th anniversary. on the program, steve to me -- toomey. book pearl with his harbor. followed by an interview come anh april harbor survivor -- interview with a pearl harbor survivor. we are taking your questions live. go to book tv.org for the complete weekend schedule. >> the white house christmas tree arrives friday. this year's tree is a 19 foot for her. it is from a farm in wisconsin owned by dave vanderbilt and his wife mary. they operate first lady michelle obama as she welcomed the tree outside the north orrico. -- portico. ♪ ♪ >> with do think -- what do you think?

[applause] >> i'm sitting next to librarians that i feel like i should behave somehow. there is a slight stigma. i will try to behave. >> you haven't so far. [laughter] >> you see? part of why we are here is to celebrate this library. this is coinciding with that. i want to start with the soft and fuzzy before i really try to go anti-library on these people. i told them, i warned them before hand i hate libraries. one of the striking things i have been talking to is that people have wonderful memories, childhood memories in .articular, of libraries i'm curious if we could start -- oh i have to introduce you. , the former director of the institute of museum and library services, the presidentially appointed, senate confirmed position. she is currently professor of practice and treasurer of the american library association. directorft, he is the of the center for the future of libraries. and finally, susan parker, who is the deputy university librarian at ucla, where she leads building you just building design and renovation projects. susan parker, let me start with you. and ore library moment what you like about libraries? if you worked in a fast food joint, you stop eating it. do you still like libraries? >> i love libraries. they are obviously a place i feel very comfortable. it is what the that attracted me to libraries that kept me coming back as it is a place i was always welcome even as a small child. affection for the people who treat you kindly, and even more so they live or you in with digger and better book and you get excited in thinking and looking things up. >> is there a moment in your childhood you said this is the coolest place? >> probably the first time i ever went in. cincinnati, ohio, on the west side. the first time i went in there, i thought this was the coolest thing. i had seen books before, but not that many. your fondestat is memory library and/or why do you like libraries? >> i think a lot of people have fond memories because they are welcoming places. it is one of the places as a town where you have a certain degree of responsibility. a yellow card, but it was laminated. it felt so adult. a tangible expression of kind of growth and opportunity and responsibility. it opens things to you. it is a pre-drivers license. >> the state of kind of deputized you? >> yeah. >> susan, favorite childhood library moment? >> i was an only child and moved a lot. i would usually move after school got out, and i would hit a new community and have no friends. well that i be doing in the summer? i would go to that library. it was my second home. it was welcoming to me, and the library sent books were my friend. they helped me early on decides to become a librarian, because i found many years ago a paper from junior high where i said i wanted to do this. it made me feel good when i was young. >> do the caller reason you wanted to do that in that paper? . -- >> frankly, i didn't want to be a teacher. librarians have to want to teach today. i did not want to be a nurse. i'm old enough that there were not that many other choice is. i knew i could find a job pretty much anywhere in the u.s. >> did you want to leave your hometown? just. -- just curious. >> i wanted to be mobile. not necessarily that i wanted to run away, but i was living in a time where they graduated from college and left home, they didn't go back home. >> dispense with the warm and fuzzy part. again, talking to people about the bad things about libraries. the first thing -- no disrespect to anybody -- was homeless and porn. the second is what is it for? freak.er is a library he said last week they advertise that it was so hot, everybody could go to the library. it was library as cooling center. library is a place to sleep during the day. that irks a lot of people. people don't understand it. one of you i spoke to earlier said let's hit head on. let's talk about homelessness and foreign at the library --and porn at the library. at many urbaned libraries, dealing with all kinds of customers and populations is challenging, and we are one of the only free opportunities for people to come out of the
