Questions for the Prime Minister. Number one, mr. Speaker. Pm may thank you, mr. Speaker. This morning, i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others, in addition to my duties. I shall have further such meetings later today. Mr. Speaker, the premium in chesterfield, where 70 of people receive free school meals. The headteacher was running the great north rome. However, her new schools funding formula means that the Junior School now faces the biggest cuts in all of derbyshire. It is now the only alternative to sacking staff. Will she go to the finish line and tell them how this is a fairer funding formula . Pm may i am pleased to say that in a local authority of the honorable gentlemans constituency, we have seen an increase of over 17,000 children since 2010. Put that down to government changes and the hard work of teachers. For a very long time, it has been the general view, and i have campaigned on this for a long time that we need to see a fairer funding formula for schools. [shouting] pm may what the government has brought forward is a consultation on a fairer funding formula to look at the results of that fairer funding formula and bring forward our firm proposals in due course. Over the course of the last 12 months as part of the opportunity to look into the historical allegations and how we as a country deal with historical allegations against our servicemen and women. For many members, this has been a deeply disturbing experience. I know the Prime Minister gets it, but will she commit to redouble her governments efforts to get a grip on the historical allegation process so the never again our servicemen and women will be exposed. Pm may im sure the whole house, first of all, will want to join me in praising the bravery and commitment of all those who serve in our armed forces. I would like to thank my honorable friend for the work he is doing on the defense committee, because he brings personal expertise. Those who serve on the front line deserve our support when they get home. I can assure my friend of the governments commitment to that. The allegations of legal aid from the government to guarantee this will not be claimed back. In relation, which he has specifically referred to, we are committed to reducing the caseload to a small number of credible cases as quickly as possible. I recognize the action that has been taken in relation to the individual as he has referred to. I think it is absolutely appalling when people try to make a business out of chasing after our brave troops. Speaker jeremy corbyn. Mr. Corbyn thank you, mr. Speaker. [shouting] mr. Corbyn mr. Speaker, nine out of 10 nhs trusts say their hospitals have been at unsafe levels of overcrowding. One in six accident and emergency units in england are set to be closed or downgraded. Could the Prime Minister please explain how closing a e departments will tackle growing waiting lists . Pm may first of all, i will extend my thanks to the hardworking staff of the nhs, who do a great job treating patients. Yes, we recognize there are heavy pressures on the nhs. That is why this year, we are funding the nhs 1. 3 billion pounds more than the labor party promised in the last election. He refers specifically to accident and emergency. What is our response . We we see 600 more accident and emergency consultants, more doctors and paramedics. It is not about making a sound bite, it is about delivering results, and that is what this conservative government is doing. Mr. Corbyn mr. Speaker, congratulating a e staff is one thing, paying them properly is another. I hope she manages to see the bbc report on the royal blackburn a e department, which shows people had to wait up to 13 hours and 52 minutes to be seen. A major cause of the pressure on a e is the 4. 6 billion cuts in the social care budget since 2010. Earlier this week, liverpools very esteemed Adult Social Care director resigned, saying, frankly, i cant see social services surviving after two years. That is the absolute maximum. People are suffering and we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. Mr. Speaker, what advice does the government have to the people of liverpool in this situation . [shouting] [crosstalking] it is bad enough when members who are within the chamber shout. Those who are not absolutely should not do so. If a discourtesy to the house of commons. Nothing more, nothing less. Please dont do it. Prime minister. Pm may he refers he refers shout. He refers in the early stage to blackburn. Im happy to say that compared to 2010, there are one hundred more hospital doctors and 413 more doctors in the Blackburn Lancashire hospital nhs trust. He then went on to talk about waiting times. Waiting time can be an issue. Where is it that you wait a week longer for a pneumonia treatment but wait a week longer for Heart Disease treatment . You wait seven weeks longer for cataract treatment, 11 weeks longer for hernia treatment, and 21 weeks longer for a hip operation. It is not in england. It is in wales. [shouting] power in wales . Labour. [shouting] mr. Speaker, my question was about the comment from the man in liverpool and why the people of liverpool are having to suffer these great cut. Liverpool is asked to meet the government on four occasions. The crisis is so bad that until yesterday, david hodge, the conservative leader of Surrey County council, planned to hold a referendum for a 15 increase in council tax. And at the last minute, it was called off. Can the Prime Minister tell the house whether or not a special deal was done for surrey . Pm may the decision as to whether or not to hold a referendum in syria is a matter for the local authority in surrey, a referendum in surrey is a matter for the local authority. The right honorable gentleman has raised the issue of social care, which we have exchanged before. As i have said before, we do need to find a longterm, sustainable solution for social care in this country. I recognize the shortterm pressures. That is why we have enabled local authorities to put more money into social care. We have provided more money. Over the next two years, 900 million more pounds will be available for social care. We also need to look at ensuring that Good Practice is spread across the whole of the country. We can look at places like north pine sides towards the end of last year. There were virtually no delayed discharges attributed to social care in those councils. We also need to look longterm, and that is why the office is driving a review with relevant departments to find a sustainable solution, which the labor party duct for far too long. Mr. Speaker, my question was whether theres a special deal done for surrey. Leaders have had many conversations with the government. We know they have because i have copies of texts sent by david hodge and somebody who works for ministers in the department of communities and local government. They read that im advised that dclg have been working on a solution, and you will be contacting me to make a memorandum of understanding. Will the government [shouting] will the government now publish its memorandum of understanding and while they are about it, will all councils be offered the same deal . Pm may what we have given all councils is the opportunity to raise the 3 on the council tax and put it into social care. He talks about understanding. What the the labour party fails to understand speaker order. There is far too much noise. Calm yourself. Youre supposed to be a senior statesman. You should reserve your shouting for this dance in field. Prime minister. Pm may as i say, all councils have the opportunity to raise the 3 precept to put that into the funding of social care. What the labor party fails to understand is that this is not just a question of looking at money. It is a question of looking at spreading taxes and finding a sustainable solution. I have to say to him if we look at social care across the entire country, the last thing social care providers need is another one of labours bouncing checks. [shouting] mr. Speaker, i wonder if its anything to do with the fact that the chancellor and Health Secretary both represent surrey constituency. [shouting] [laughter] mr. Speaker, there was a second text from the Surrey County council leader, and in the second text, it says the numbers you indicated are the numbers i understand are acceptable for major expense and call off the r. I have been reading a bit of john le carre, and apparently r means referendum. Very subtle. It goes on to say, if it is possible for that info to be sent to myself, i can then hear back soonest to kill this off. [shouting] so how much did the government offers a rate offer surrey to kill this off and is the same sweetheart deal on offer to every council . [shouting] pm may i have made clear to the right honorable gentleman what has been made available to every council, which is the ability to raise precepts. [shouting] speaker order. As colleagues, i never mind how long Prime Ministers questions takes. But questions must be heard and the answers must be heard. Prime minister. Pm may he comes here making all sorts of claims. What we get from labor are alternative facts. [shouting] pm may what they really need is an alternative leader. [shouting] mr. Corbyn my question was, what deal has been offered to surrey and will the same deal be offered to every other counsel going through a social care crisis . Mr. Speaker, hospital wards are overcrowded. A Million People are not getting the care they need and family members, mostly women, are having to give up work to care for their loved ones. Every day that the Prime Minister fails to act, this crisis gets worse. So will she finally come clean and provide local authorities with the funding they need to fund social care properly so that our often elderly and Vulnerable People can be treated with the support and dignity they deserve in a Civilized Society . [shouting] pm may the deal that has been offered to all councils is the one i have party set out. [shouting] pm may let me just be very clear with the right honorable gentleman. As ever, he stands up and consistently asks for more spending, more money, more funding. What he always fails to recognize, what he fails to recognize, is that you can only spend money on social care and the National Health service if you have a Strong Economy to deliver the wealth that you need. There is a fundamental difference between us. When i talk speaker order. Im sorry there is still too much noise in the chamber. People observing our proceedings here and outside need the questions and answers heard, and they will be. Pm may there is a difference between us. When i talk about half a trillion pounds, that is the money we will be spending on the nhs this parliament. When labor talks about half a trillion pounds, it is the money they want to borrow. Conservative investing in the nhs, labor bankrupting britain. [shouting] thank you, mr. Speaker. There are significant challenges facing this great nation of ours, one of which is tackling Mental Health for young people. The pressures of Juggling School life, family life, and staying safe and feeling valued are more difficult than ever. Will the Prime Minister agree to meet with me and my team to discuss a Mental Health app we have been developing to give young people a toolbox to help them in times of crisis . Pm may im very interested to hear that the work my honorable friend is doing in this important area. I think Mental Health is an area where we do need to put more focus and make real progress. Im pleased to say that Something Like 1400 more people are accessing mental Health Services every day. Which is an advance, but more needs to be done. We are putting more money, 68 Million Pounds, in improving Mental Health care through digital immunization which fits right into what my honorable friend is looking at. There will be a particular focus with children and young peoples Mental Health in mind. He might want to look out for the department of health and educations joint paper they will be publishing in october. Speaker angus robertson. Last night, parliamentarians from across the chamber and across the parties voted overwhelmingly against the u. K. Governments brexit plans in the Scottish Parliament. If United Kingdom is a partnership of equals, will the Prime Minister compromise like the Scottish Government and reach a negotiated agreement before invoking article 50, or will she just carry on regardless . Pm may as the right honorable gentleman knows, when the u. K. Government negotiates, it will be negotiating as the government for the whole of the United Kingdom. We have put in place the jmc arrangements through various committees, which enable us to work closely with both administrations to identify the particular issues they want to see represented after we put our views together. We have said we will intensify discussions within that jmc arrangement, and that is exactly what we will be doing. When the Prime Minister was in edinburgh on july 15 last year, she pledged that she would not trigger article 50 until she had an agreed u. K. Wide approach. Given that the Scottish Parliament has voted overwhelmingly against her approach and all but one mp representing a scottish constituency in the commons has voted against her approach, she does not have an agreed u. K. Wide vote. Mr. Speaker, as the Prime Minister knows, a lot of people in scotland watch Prime Ministers questions. So will she tell those viewers in scotland whether she intends to keep her word to scotland or not . [shouting] pm may we are ensuring that we are working closely with the Scottish Government and indeed with the other devolved administrations as we take this matter forward. I would just remind the right honorable gentleman of two things. First of all, the Supreme Court was very clear the Scottish Parliament does not have the veto on the triggering of article 50. The bill that is going through the house obviously is giving the power to the government to trigger article 50. I would also remind him at this point, because he constantly refers to the interest of scotland inside the European Union. An independent scotland would not be inside the European Union. [shouting] mr. Speaker, the people warmly welcome the governments housing white paper. Will my right honorable friend confirm when it comes to providing more security for renters, building more affordable homes, and helping people buy their own homes, it is this party, the conservative party, that is fixing our broken Housing Market . Pm may im very happy to agree with my honorable friend. Our broken Housing Market is one of the greatest barriers to progress in britain today. The housing white paper brought forth by my right honorable friend sets out the steps we will take to fix it. It is the conservatives in government who are going to support local authorities to deliver more in the right places, to encourage faster buildout of developments. Im sure everybody recognizes the problem of planning commissions that are given and not built out, and create conditions for more capacity and diverse Housing Markets. We are setting out responsibilities of all parties in building the homes that britain needs. Speaker patrick grady. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Does the Prime Minister agree that 21st Century Parliament they should not have any members speak or 78 minutes. Does she agree with me that the rules of the house should be changed to prevent filibustering so all members get a fair share . [shouting] pm may i have to say, i find that a rather curious question from the honorable gentleman. Last night, as it happens, i was out of the house between the two votes. I switched on the bbc parliamentary channel, and i saw the honorable gentleman speaking. I turned over to something else. I switched back. [laughter] pm may i switched back to the parliamentary channel and i saw the honorable gentleman still speaking. I switched over to something else. I switched back, and the honorable gentleman was still speaking. He is the last person to complain about filibustering in this house. [shouting] mr. Speaker speaker order. We seem to be in a state of permanent overexcitement. Calm yourselves. Mr. Speaker, as we prepare in this room to take back control of our laws on agriculture, will she agree to use brexit as an opportunity to strengthen, not weaken, the rules which safeguard the welfare of animals . Pm may my right honorable friend does raise an important point that is of concern to many people in this house. We should be proud in the u. K. Pm may my right honorable that we have some of the highest Animal Welfare standards in the world indeed, one of the highest scores for Animal Protection in the world and leaving the e. U. Will not change this. I can assure my right honorable friend that we are committed to maintaining and, where possible, improving Animal W
