Speeches by Corbyn.

“I hope a recommendation that you come up with is that when someone is nominated as a candidate, from any party, the returning officer makes sure that they are fully apprised of and provided with at least a booklet on electoral law, and also pointed in the direction of the relationship with the police and security. My o…”

“Thanks for inviting us. We have discussed this beforehand and agreed to speak at breakneck speed to get as many questions in as possible, so we will get into it. I have obviously been a Labour candidate on many occasions, both local government and parliamentary, and before that I was a Labour party agent, so I am very …”

“As with everything.”

“Is there a timetable for that?”

“The five of us had quite a long discussion this morning, which Iqbal and I thought we should do as a way of consultation before coming here. We will happily send you a statement.”

“Do you want a statement from us to summarise what we have said today? Would that help?”

“It is a hard thing to decide, because candidates get very excited and they think that their personal animosity towards other candidates is somehow shared by the entirety of the population, but it does not always work like that. A lot of the public get very put off by it. It is hard to know how you can put it down. An e…”

“I think a code of conduct is helpful, but it is no more than that. It is not law or legally enforceable; it is merely a code of conduct. Again, the returning officer has to be careful that they do not step over the boundary, but when you are trying to organise a debate or something between candidates, there is nothing …”

“Can the Minister assure us that he will not be dragged down the road of rebuilding the empire, as he was invited to do by the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage), and will he also confirm that in international law, the Chagos islands in their entirety have become part of Mauritius? Should we not be concentrating on …”

“Before the Minister gets on to the pension issue, may I just say that the order requires the Secretary of State to examine the effects of benefit uprating and the effects of the existing payment of benefits? What studies has he done on the effect of the two-child benefit cap? Secondly, last week we passed a welfare spe…”

“The Chief Secretary has referred to the great benefit of infrastructure projects. The Elizabeth line is a very good example of that, but it was way over budget and very late, and the same applies to HS2 and most other big infrastructure projects. What plans do the Government have in that regard? Later we will discuss t…”
