FINANCE (NO.2) BILL: SECOND READING
Stella Creasy Jess Phillips Stephen Doughty Lucy Powell Kate Green Ms Harriet Harman
Alison McGovern Sir Vince Cable Jo Swinson Wes Streeting Peter Kyle James Frith Ruth George Chris Stephens Toby Perkins Luciana Berger Lilian Greenwood Ann Coffey Joan Ryan Siobhain McDonagh Mr Gavin Shuker Anna Turley Mr Barry Sheerman Mary Creagh Mrs Madeleine Moon Martin Whitfield Norman Lamb Helen Hayes Dame Margaret Hodge Ruth Smeeth Maria Eagle Mrs Louise Ellman Kerry McCarthy Gareth Snell Diana Johnson Rachel Reeves Julie Elliott Alison Thewliss Liz Saville Roberts Wera Hobhouse Tom Brake Christine Jardine Caroline Lucas Mr David Lammy Lisa Nandy Sir Edward Davey Catherine West Gareth Thomas John Grogan Angus Brendan MacNeil Chuka Umunna Angela Smith Chris Bryant Ann Clwyd John Woodcock Rosie Duffield Stephen Kinnock
That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Finance (No. 2) Bill because it gives effect to measures in a Budget which has not been produced with the benefit of an independent gender impact assessment conducted by the Office of Budget Responsibility to enable the Government to understand and address the consequences for the advancement of equality in Britain and in particular to women and ethnic minorities of changes to the tax and benefit system and the management of public sector pay and because the failure of the Government to follow the normal practice of founding the Finance Bill in part on an Amendment of the Law resolution means that the Bill cannot be amended by the introduction
Wednesday 6 December 2017 OP No.60: Part 2 CALENDAR OF BUSINESS 21
of further administrative measures to tackle tax evasion more effectively or the excessive costs of the PFI and PF2 contracts to the Exchequer by the addition of provisions for analysis of reforms needed to reduce the tax gap and create a fairer tax system.
Jeremy Corbyn John McDonnell Angela Rayner Debbie Abrahams Peter Dowd Mr Nicholas Brown That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Finance Bill because it contains no measures to address the fact that the UK has the slowest economic growth in the G7 while the IFS warns of two decades of lost earnings growth, it fails to reverse the Government’s 2015 Bank Levy cut resulting in £4.7bn less in tax revenue from banks over five years and contains measures to further limit the scope of the Bank Levy resulting in a further fall in revenue, whilst at the same time crucial services that many children and families across the country desperately rely on are at risk due to seven years of budget cuts, it proposes a stamp duty cut that, according to the analysis of the OBR, will increase house prices, instead of helping to address the housing crisis through measures to build more affordable homes, it proposes policies without the benefit of an adequate Equalities Impact Assessment, it arises from a Budget which made no provision for lifting the public sector pay cap or addressing the funding crisis in social care and the NHS, it includes no measures properly to tackle tax avoidance and evasion and it is not based an amendment of the law resolution, thus restricting the scope of amendments and reducing the House’s ability to properly scrutinise and improve the Bill.

BACKBENCH BUSINESS
Equality of pension provision for women

Sir Mike Penning That this House regrets that the terms of reference for the Commission on Human Medicines Expert Working Group on Hormone Pregnancy Tests were to consider evidence on a possible
Wednesday 6 December 2017 OP No.60: Part 2 CALENDAR OF BUSINESS 25
association between exposure in pregnancy to hormone pregnancy tests and adverse outcomes in pregnancy, but the Commission’s Report concluded that there was no causal association between the use of hormone pregnancy tests and babies born with deformities between 1953–1975, even though it was not asked to find a causal link; believes that the inquiry was flawed because it did not consider systematic regulatory failures of the Committee on Safety in Medicines and did not give careful consideration to the evidence presented to it; and calls on the Government, after consultation with the families affected so they have confidence in the process, to establish a statutory inquiry under the Inquiries Act 2005 to review the evidence on a causal association between hormone pregnancy tests on pregnancies and to consider the regulatory failures of the Committee on Safety in Medicines.

1. HIGH SPEED RAIL (WEST MIDLANDS - CREWE) BILL: SECOND READING
Notes: The Speaker has not yet considered this Bill for certification.
2. HIGH SPEED RAIL (WEST MIDLANDS - CREWE) BILL: SECOND READING - REASONED AMENDMENT
Michael Fabricant That this House, while recognising the increasing need for additional north-south rail line capacity to relieve congestion on the West Coast Main Line south of the Midlands and to improve connectivity between major cities and with London, declines to give the High Speed Rail (West Midlands - Crewe) Bill a Second Reading because (1) there are better ways to address any rail capacity issues north of the Midlands, (2) the line set out in the Bill is routed through unspoiled countryside unnecessarily damaging the environment including wildlife habitats, ancient woodlands and waterways, fails to connect via HS2 Phase 1 with HS1, the Channel Tunnel and the European continent, fails to connect directly through HS2 Phase 1 with potential airport hubs for London and the south-east of England, and fails to connect directly to existing major mainline stations and the existing rail network, (3) the Bill provides inadequate compensation to those blighted by the route and those whose property is subject to compulsory purchase orders, (4) the Bill fails to provide for sufficient public transport to disperse HS2 passengers disembarking at London Euston, and (5) the Bill does not implement a more environmentally sympathetic, better integrated, and more cost-effective route, such as the route originally proposed by Arup which would have used existing transport corridors minimising environmental damage and reducing costs by around £10 billion, and which would have connected directly with HS1 and the continent, London Heathrow Airport, Birmingham International Airport, and major conurbations.
3. HIGH SPEED RAIL (WEST MIDLANDS - CREWE) BILL: MONEY
Mel Stride That, for the purposes of any Act resulting from the High Speed Rail (West Midlands - Crewe) Bill, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of money provided by Parliament of:
