Speaker. Im sure members will want to join in wishing people across the uk and around the world happy st. Patricks day this coming friday. This morning i have meetings with ministerial colleagues and others in addition to my duties in the south i should a further such meetings later today. Can also wish a happy st. Patricks day . Mr. Speaker i welcome the announcement from this government we will decide by the letter of our manifesto and also the spirit . Mr. Speaker with the Prime Minister agree with me as we move towards balancing the books we must ensure we have a fair and Sustainable Tax system in place . Id like to thank my honorable friend for his question. We made a commitment not to raise tax and would put our commitment into the tax law. The measures were put forward in the budget were consistent with those laws. As a number of my parliamentary colleagues have been pointing out in recent days, there is order. This is intolerable. [shouting] i think made on the matter i do to get you on the boards of hearing the questions and answers. The Prime Minister. As a member of my colleagues have been pointing out in recent days the trend towards greater selfemployment does create a structural issue in the tax base on which we will have to act and we want to ensure that we maintain as theyve said fairness in the tax system. So we are going to await the report on the future of employment. We will consider the government overall approach to Employment Status and rights to tax and a tolerable. We will bring forward for the proposal but we will not bring forward increases later in this parliament. Jeremy corbyn. Thank you, mr. Speaker. First of all tenant wish everyone a very happy st. Patricks day for the 17t 17th . In my constituency in ireland and all around the world. Mr. Speaker, widgets are the Prime Minister is about to drop the National Insurance hike announced only a week ago. Seems to me like a government s in a bit of chaos here. [laughing] [shouting] a budget, a budget that unravels in seven days. A conservative manifesto with a very intensive Prime Minister on the front page saying there will be no increase a week ago, and increase was announced. If they are to drop this increase as they are indicating, then this is a time that she should thank the federation of Small Businesses and all those who have pointed out just how unfair this increase would be. But also how big business invades an awful lot of National Insurance through bogus selfemployment. Prime minister. I have to say to the right honorable gentleman i dont think he actually mrs. The but i normally stand at this dispatch box and set about taking her lectures from the right honorable gentleman. When it comes to lectures on chaos he would be the first person i turn to. [laughing] [shouting] jeremy corbyn. Mr. Speaker, i think, think the Prime Minister should offer an apology for the chaos that her government has sought during the past week and the threat it is caused to the 4. 8 million selfemployed people in this country. Will she offer that apology . Her friend sets up a week ago. Its time that she join in and said that as well. This measure is carried through will create a black hole in the budget. What is she going to do to fill the black hole . Prime minister. If the right honorable gentleman is so concerned about balancing the books, why did Labour Party Policy to borrow half a trillion pounds . [shouting] jeremy corbyn. [laughing] mr. Speaker [shouting] mr. Speaker, coming, coming from, coming from the government that proposes to borrow more between now and 2020, then the entire borrowing of all labour governments put together, we dont need lectures from them on this. I hope that any statement later today, the chancellor will address the question of injustice of many people forced into bogus selfemployment by unscrupulous companies. Because many of them forcing workers to become selfemployed, thus avoiding employers National Insurance contribution. It is a grossly unfair system where those in selfemployment pay some National Insurance. Employers do not benefit from it. That is a gross injustice that has to be addressed. Prime minister. The right honorable gentleman, one of the first things i did when i became Prime Minister was Commission Matthew taylor from the rsa to conduct a review to look at the employment market, to look at Employment Rights and status precise because we recognize that the employment market is changing. He talks about the selfemployed nuts look at what weve done for the selfemployed. Personal announcements they keep more of their earnings. They will have access to both tax Free Childcare and 30 hours of free child care just like employees and now they have access to the new state pension worth over 1800 pounds more a year. But what we know from the Labour Party Policy is that the policies would bankrupt britain, put firms out of business and people out of jobs. [shouting] mr. Corbyn. We have a government uturn. We have no apology and we have a budget that falls most heavily [shouting] [laughing] students falls most heavily on people with these broad shoulders. Katz for schools, for social care and for people with disabilities. That is the agenda of her government and Everybody Knows it. Prime minister. Im not sure i dont think the right honorable gentleman quite got the hang of this. [laughing] is supposed to ask a question to me when he stands up. [laughing] lets, okay order. Lets you the answer. [laughing] [shouting] he talks about schools. What if we done . We protected the core schools budget. [shouting] this budget delivers money to over 100 new schools, delivering a good School Places for every child. This budget delivers on skills to young people. We want them to be equipped for the jobs of the future but the budget delivers 500 billion pounds for Technical Education. And on social care we recognize the pressure on social care. This budget delivers 2 billion pounds more funding for social care, something that wouldnt be available with labour economic policy. [shouting] mr. Speaker, it would be a very good idea if the Prime Minister listen to head teachers all over the country. Desperately trying to work out how to balance the books in their schools, losing teachers, losing teaching assistants, losing support for the children because the schools budgets are being cut. She knows that. We all know that. Everybody out there knows that. They also know that according to our speakers average working, as will be 1000 pounds, 1400 pounds worse off as a result of her budget thats been produced last week. Can she say what she is doing to help the worst off and pours in our society rather than continuing cutting local government expenditure, schools expenditure and underfunding social care . Ill tell him. We are frozen fuel duty and every basic rate tax payers had a tax cut worth a thousand pounds and we taken over 3 Million People out of paying income tax altogether. Thats a weve done for the low pay. On schools we now see 1. 8 million more children in good or outstanding schools. I want a good school place for every child. We have done with three schools and academies and the changes in education, all opposed by the labour party. That you want to pose as getting a good school place for every child. What do we know about the labour parties policies . Lets see what the former shadow chancellor, the member from nottingham east said. Labour policies would mean doubling National Insurance, doubling council tax as well. That wouldnt help a lowpaying or ordinary working family. [shouting] jeremy corbyn. Mr. Speaker, the difference is we want a good school and a good place for every child in every school in every community. Elective education does not achieve that. We want a staircase for all, not a ladder for the few, which is what the conservative policy actually are. What she hasnt addressed also is the unfairness of a budget that cuts taxes at the top and, continues to reduce corporation tax, encourages bogus self employment. What she has to do is address the issue of injustice and inequality in our society, and a government that is dedicated towards widening the gap, not helping the harder or those who are workings selfemployed to try and make into meat and not getting access to any benefit at the same time. Prime minister. Inequality has gone down under this government. This budget shows the top 1 of earners will be contributing 27 in terms of the income they are providing. Let me address the issue also of schools. The problem with what the right honorable joan says is that on every single education policy, discovered has brought forward that its been delivering more good School Places for children for labour party has opposed it and they continue to oppose it because the labour parties approach is parents take with a given, good or bad. We believe in listening to parents. It he looks ahead to what his policies would produce for this country, half a trillion pounds of borrowing, 500 billion pounds more borrowing under the labour party, or taxes, more spending, more borrowing, and bankrupt britain. I wouldnt give money to Public Services or help ordinary working families. Its the conservative party that is helping ordinary working families, and a labour party that is failing to address the needs of the people of this country. Hes just sitting there and going on protest marches. [shouting] jeremy quinn. Thank you, mr. Speaker. I change my question. I congratulate, may i congratulate my right honorable friend i promoted the most radical reform, most radical reform of [laughing] , most radical reform of Technical Education in our generation. And also, and also delivering very funny for all our schools. But may i ask part of that consultation to ensure a minimal level of appropriate funding for all schools . Thank you. I think my honorable friend because he is raised an important point. Its one of the issues weve addressed in the budget. Is to put more money into schools, training, indifferent education, Technical Education for young people. Thats one of the most important things we can do is to equip young people for the futures, for the jobs of the future so they can get on in life. We will invest extra in englands Technical Education system. My honorable friend has reverted issue of a minimum funding level. My right honorable friend the Education Sector concerned last month that her representation on this issue, considering these issues but on relations, it is a complex issue. Its been an issue that has been needed addressing for some time and will be looking at it carefully. Angus robertson. We once had a Prime Minister who said that the lady is not returning. My goodness, it is welcome that Prime Minister has a message, she is returning with her screeching, embarrassing uturn on national [shouting] mr. Speaker, mr. Speaker, only days, only days remain until the Prime Minister is going to invoke article 51 leaving the European Union. And last july she promised to secure a uk wide approach from that agreement between Northern Ireland, wales, uk government before trading article 50. 50. So when will the Prime Minister announce details of the agreement . We will trigger article 50 by the end of march. There will be an opportunity for further discussions with the administration over that period. But when he looks at the issue of membership of the European Union and his view of scholar not being a member of the United Kingdom, i say this. He is comparing membership of an organization that has been a member of for 40 years with our country. We have been 100 over 300 years. We have fought together, working together, achieved together. [shouting] and constitutional gameplay must not be allowed to break the deep bonds of our shared history. [shouting] angus robertson. [shouting] mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister can wag her finger as much as she likes. Last year she made a promise. She promised an agreement. I asked her about the matter yesterday. I asked her about it now. She hasnt answered. When will she reach an agreement . Not discussion, an agreement with the Scottish Government before triggering article 50 . [shouting] order. I recognize calm yourself, man. Im perfectly capable of doing that without your assistance. The right honorable gentleman will be heard however long it takes. He will continue if you will come however long it takes. Carry on. The Prime Minister promise pd an agreement. Theres not an agreement. When will there be an agreement . Because does she not understand that if she does not secure an agreement before triggering article 50, if she is not prepared to negotiate on behalf of the Scottish Government and secure membership of a single european market, people in scotland will have a referendum and we will have [shouting] the Prime Minister. We have been in discussion with the Scottish Government and with the other devolved administrations about the plans they have, as we prepare come as the United Kingdom government, to negotiate a deal on behalf of the whole of the United Kingdom. At deal which will be a good deal, not just for England Wales and Northern Ireland but for the people of scotland as well. And as we go forward in negotiating that deal i think the right honorable gentleman should remember this. Scotland will be leaving the European Union. It will leave the European Union either as a member of the United Kingdom or were independent, its very clear that we would not be a member of the European Union. What we need now is to unite, to come together as a country, and to ensure that we can get the best deal for the whole of the United Kingdom. [shouting] mr. Speaker, this government is working with counsel and other partners to grow the economy. But despite being in the prosperous southeast, the isle of wight is 339th out of 379 in the uk index. Will my right honorable friend inshore that more growth funding is talk that rural areas like the island with microbusinesses to deliver a country that works for all . My honorable friend speaks well on behalf of his constituents, and his right to do that. I know he has consistently put forward the unique characteristics of the isle of wight. Weve already been able to support the islands economy through both the local growth fields of 183 Million Pounds, and also supporting the isle of wight rural program. My friend particularly refers to rural funding. I want to make sure we make the best of the diverse strengths about britains cities, regions and islands, and im sure that on the island the Business Community and counsel will Work Together to create the best possible condition for growth and competitiveness. Mr. Speaker, it is our two Single Markets that are the backbone of our economy and yet the Prime Minister wants to rip us away from one, and they want to break up the other. And she tell me is a really a price worth paying, the risky and reckless approach she is taking to brexit, the breakup of brexit . Prime minister . The honorable gentleman is wrong when he uses the term that it want to rip the 19 to away from the Single Market. What we want to do know. This is, this is, im sorry. Im sorry to say to honorable members on the labour benches this is the same answer that ive given consistently in this house. We want to ensure that we get a good Free Trade Agreement which gives us the maximum possible access to the Single Markets to enable us to trade with a Single Market and operate within the Single Market. Cant i welcome the support of Business Rates which is been given by so crucially valued in places like my constituency and what the Prime Minister agreed we can give more help to Small Businesses if we secur
