Most recent appearances
- Prayers: Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies and Credit Unions Bill (12 Jun 2009)
“Again, the Minister may or may not know the answer to this question off the cuff, and I do not mind getting a letter later. Will that power apply retrospectively if a company already has the word "co-operative" in its title and it is challenged as being misleading?”
- Prayers: Swine Flu Update (12 Jun 2009)
“Will the Secretary of State consider preparing for the issue of a written statement on Monday? It could answer some of the detailed questions to which I am not sure the House has heard the answers this morning. What is the telephone number, either now or then, that someone should ring if they believe that someone in their household might have one of these respiratory conditions?”
- Prayers: Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies and Credit Unions Bill (12 Jun 2009)
“If the Bill reaches the other place, perhaps it might be possible to unpack in public what the words "the Treasury" mean. Otherwise, perhaps the Minister could write to me. I accept his point, but do those words mean that an official can do it or is a Minister required to do it? That would be useful information to have at some stage.”
