Speeches by McDonagh.

“UK Finance’s most recent payments market report found that, for some people, digital budgeting tools are supplanting cash budgeting. Are there any barriers preventing some sections of society from being able to take up these tools? Are financially vulnerable people who rely on cash to budget experiencing inequality in …”

“Should the Government legislate, regulate or issue guidance?”

“You would need quite a lot of cash to go to GAIL’s, wouldn’t you? [Laughter.]”

“I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to make provision about the liability of practitioners, and of the organisation which employs the practitioner, where a practitioner prescribes an unlicensed medicine to or carries out a non-standard treatment on a person who is terminally ill; to make provision abo…”

“Order. I apologise for interrupting the shadow Secretary of State, but I am looking at the time. I am sure hon. Members would like to hear from the Minister.”

“Order. I apologise, but could the hon. Member please explain briefly what his intervention is?”

“I see no other Back Benchers who wish to contribute, so I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.”

“I remind Members that they should bob if they wish to be called in the debate, and it seems that everybody does.”

“Order. Could I ask Members to keep interventions as interventions?”

“Before I call Sir John Whittingdale to move the motion, I would like to inform Members that the parliamentary digital communication team will be conducting secondary filming during this debate.”

“Does that include Portcullis House?”

“I remind hon. Members that they can make speeches in this debate only with the agreement of the debate holder. Sarah Dyke will move the motion and then the Minister will respond. As is the convention for 30-minute debates, there will not be an opportunity for the Member in charge to wind up.”

“Order. This is Sarah Dyke’s debate, and she can conduct it as she wishes, but it seems to me that it may be more appropriate to ask for a longer debate because of the number of interventions she is accepting and the difficulty that may cause the Minister in responding.”

“Given the estimates of how much the non-dom changes would originally have made, are you happy with the evidence that you get from the Treasury on policy measures and how could they be improved?”

“Does Mr Johnson not have something to say about this?”

“And childcare?”

“That might have been because they did not want to put in how much it was going to cost.”

“As a layperson, having seen the former Chancellor be at this Committee over the last period of Government, we were always assured that the numbers were there and that they could stick to what things were going to cost. I was particularly surprised to see that within the black hole there was no compensation for the infe…”

“A lot of the policy measures that were described as highly uncertain relate to taxes on those with the broadest shoulders: non-doms, capital gains tax, inheritance tax. What can be done to improve the evidence base on these groups so that we can have more confidence when designing policies about how much they will rais…”

“Yes, but it is how that could not be included. The other thing that I find quite interesting, given our discussions with the former Chancellor about childcare, is how it can be that the current Government had to put in an extra £1.6 billion to meet the upcoming changes to the childcare policies brought in by the former…”
