Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has already taken some £320 million out of its operating budget, and is now employing some 1,500 fewer people? Yet DEFRA would claim that its outputs have been sustained. This is called "improved productivity". Does the...

That was an interesting trip down memory lane, organised, I think, by the hon. Member for Middlesbrough (Sir Stuart Bell). I congratulate the hon. Member for Elmet (Colin Burgon) on reliving, just for a brief moment, his party's romance with clause IV, when he said, "I'd like to keep these...

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for that comment, because it raises a wider issue about economic management. I know, having served in the Treasury, that the whole of the Government's economic forecast is, effectively,0 based on their own estimates. They convince themselves that the numbers they want to...

I smile at what the hon. Gentleman has said, because I really could not see my right hon. Friend lining up with those who wish to relive clause IV. I think that he was saying that there was a time and a place for rebuilding their value, but also a...

Before I get started, of course I give way to the hon. Gentleman.

I am most grateful to the hon. Gentleman, because he has made my point for me, although I did not think that my right hon. Friend was angst-ridden; he was merely pointing out, in perhaps more graphic language than I used, one of the implications of growth forecasting and what...

I pay tribute to my hon. Friend, who is my former Parliamentary Private Secretary and oft-time adviser on what I should and should not do. He has made a sage point, as he so often does. When a Chancellor who had made a virtue out of prudence then abandoned her...

My hon. Friend has made a telling point. The Treasury advises the Chancellor to do certain things. Perhaps, just as a direction is given to a permanent secretary if someone wants to go beyond the departmental remit, the Chancellor of the day should be required at least to put on...

I am listening to the hon. Gentleman's argument with care, but will he help me on one point? Is it not the case that in the early days of the Prime Minister's chancellorship, the expansion of employment in the public sector happened on the back of rising tax receipts, many...

The right hon. and learned Lady will understand the importance of certainty for the operation of financial markets but, in not responding to the question from my right hon. Friend the Member for North-West Hampshire (Sir George Young) about the Budget date, she has created more uncertainty about how the...

The Secretary of State will be aware of the developing world-class technology at BAE Warton in my constituency, which is seeing the production of unmanned and autonomous air vehicles. Will the debate he has triggered by the publication of the Green Paper enable a decision to be made as to...

That this House congratulates the wildlife trusts on the launch of their Living Seas vision, which sets out their aspirations for the future of UK seas and the wildlife trusts' role in restoring the marine environment to good health; recognises the vital contribution that healthy seas make to our quality of life, from providing seafood to absorbing carbon; further recognises that the recently passed Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 provides a new framework for managing and protecting UK seas; welcomes the recent designation of Lundy Island as the first Marine Conservation Zone created under the Act; and urges politicians of all parties to commit to the spirit of the legislation and its effective and timely implementation, including the designation of an ecologically coherent network of marine protected areas by 2012.

This may well be the last speech that I make on a piece of environmental legislation before I retire at the next election. I have the honour of chairing the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee, and we have done a number of reports on flooding and the implementation of...
