I absolutely join the hon. Lady in making that point. This is an important anniversary, and it is important that this country and our Parliament commemorate it properly. We must teach children in schools how our constitution has evolved and what rights we have, because pride in those things is important in understanding what a precious jewel we have in a functioning democracy under the rule of law.

My hon. Friend, who represents Erewash so well, is absolutely right. Aspiring to one’s first new home is something that we all wish for, for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren. This

Government are determined to do something about that while ensuring that we do not do anything that would enable an unsustainable housing boom.

I thank my hon. Friend for her work to promote good health care in her area. I very much enjoyed meeting her local GPs. I was disappointed that it was only for about five minutes. I very much hope to go back and have a proper discussion. They were very enthusiastic about the Prime Minister’s challenge fund, and are making some very innovative changes.

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. We now have 1.6 million new private sector jobs, meaning that there are 1.3 million more people employed in our country. We are seeing that growth in employment in every region of the country. Some are growing faster than others, and we need to keep up the work to make sure that this is a broadly balanced recovery, but one of the indicators of economic success is that week in, week out, the leader of the Labour party comes to the House of Commons and cannot mention employment. He cannot talk about the economy or about jobs, investment and growth, because all the things he said would never happen are happening in our economy.

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. The Government have invested record amounts in apprenticeships. More than 1.5 million people have started apprenticeships, many of whom come from the east midlands, including those whom I met with her in her constituency. Again, those are not just statistics. Each and every one of those apprentices is someone who is getting a chance, a skill, a job and an opportunity to build a life for themselves and to build that stability, peace of mind and security that should be the birthright of every single person in our country.

All road users benefit from clear directions, including HGV drivers. It is clearly not in the interests of HGV drivers to rely upon inaccurate information, which may make them late or even involve them in accidents. Nevertheless, we believe that legislation would be a costly, bureaucratic and inappropriate way of dealing with the problem. Instead we have made significant efforts to link together freight associations, local authorities and sat-nav companies to ensure that HGV drivers are aware of the issue and have the latest information available to them.

Enforcement is a matter for the police. Policing priorities for this type of activity are local decisions for the local police, working for their communities and under the oversight of directly elected police and crime commissioners. Roads with weight restrictions usually have them because local highway authorities have put them in place and these local authorities can also seek to influence policing priorities.

The Department does not have a direct mechanism to ensure weight restrictions on local roads are being enforced by the police.

I commend my hon. Friend’s work in supporting small businesses and jobs in Erewash, through supporting enterprise. This is all about ensuring that companies can start up and grow and that they can employ people as easily as possible. I hope that our employment allowance, which comes in next April and which will give every company that employs people a £2,000 tax break, will help to take that a step further.

The Department for Transport has no plans to (a) review the policy of requiring heavy goods vehicle drivers to avoid areas with bridge restrictions of 7.5 tonnes or (b) the use of satellite navigation systems on such routes.

The Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 gives powers to highway authorities to apply weight limits on parts of the local road network which they manage, where they deem it to be appropriate. It is a legitimate local policy to ban heavy goods vehicles from using weak bridges, but there are legal considerations related to maintaining access to premises. These may well be relevant to the consideration of area-wide prohibitions.

Neither the Department nor individual local authorities have any direct power over the routing of satellite navigation devices, such devices should always be treated as advisory, and it is for the motorists to determine the best route for their journey. We are aware that some satellite navigation system manufacturers produce special devices for heavy goods vehicles to provide them with routing information appropriate to their vehicle, including warning them about narrow roads and low bridges.

Recent developments in these specific systems have meant that properly-equipped lorry drivers can now avoid low bridges and narrow lanes, saving time, fuel and money as well as reducing the impact on local communities.

I well remember my visit to my hon. Friend’s constituency. She is right that people in this country want to know that we will cap welfare and

get on top of the welfare bill, but protect pensioners who have worked hard all their lives and saved for their retirement. I have done a little due diligence on the Opposition’s policy. Last week, they announced that they wanted a welfare cap. I thought, “That’s interesting. That’s progress.” However, when you look at it, would they cap the welfare bill for those in work? No they would not. Would they cap housing benefit? No they would not. The one thing that they want to cap, apparently, is pensions. So there we have it: protect welfare, punish hard workers and target pensioners—more of the same “something for nothing” culture that got this country into the mess in the first place.

In March last year, the Prime Minister launched his Challenge on Dementia to tackle one of the most important issues we face as the population ages. The Challenge is an ambitious programme of work designed to make a real difference to the lives of people with dementia and their families and carers.

The Prime Minister's Challenge on Dementia sets out renewed ambition to go further and faster, building on progress made through the National Dementia Strategy, to secure greater improvements in dementia care and research so that people with dementia, their carers and families get the services and support they need from a trained and aware workforce.

Dementia has been prioritised by both the Department through the NHS Mandate and by NHS England through their planning guidance. NHS England has announced the ambition to increase diagnosis rates to two-thirds by 2015.

From April 2013, as part of the NHS Health Check programme, people aged 65 to 74 will be given information at the time of the risk assessment to raise their awareness of dementia and the availability of memory services. This will help to ensure that people with dementia are diagnosed at an earlier stage.

As part of the Prime Minister's Challenge, we have developed the Dementia Care and Support Compact. The purpose of the Care and Support Compact with major care providers is to improve care and support for people with dementia living at home and in care homes.

The Compact focuses on quality of life for people with dementia and the delivery of relationship-based care and support, for example working with commissioners of care for people with dementia to ensure that they commission quality services appropriately. Currently 148 signatories, representing almost 3,000 care services, have signed up to the Compact and we want to see this number increase to demonstrate the commitment the sector has to improving care for people with dementia.

I refer my hon. Friend to the answer the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave earlier today to my hon. Friend the Member for Devizes (Claire Perry).

I pay great tribute to that association, which does such great work. Last year, we achieved something very rare in this House. With all-party agreement, we secured the transfer of a Government body to a charity that has been well-funded for a considerable number of years, giving the opportunity for such organisations to benefit. The number of volunteer days around the country has rocketed as a result of the new charity.
