QUEEN’S SPEECH (MOTION FOR AN ADDRESS): Adjourned Debate on Question [25 May].
[Until 10.00 pm]
 
   Motion made, and Question proposed, That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, as follows:
 
   Most Gracious Sovereign,
 
   We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled, beg leave to offer our humble thanks to Your Majesty for the Gracious Speech which Your Majesty has addressed to both Houses of Parliament.—(Mr Peter Lilley.)

Mr Alistair Darling
Yvette Cooper
David Miliband
Ed Balls
Andy Burnham
Edward Miliband   
Mr Nicholas Brown
(a)
 
   ‘; endorse the successful steps taken by the previous administration to return the economy to growth, to keep people in their jobs and homes, and to support businesses; note the need for a clear plan to bring down the deficit; respectfully believe that securing the recovery and robust future growth should be central to that plan; further believe that such a plan must be fair and protect front line public services; therefore oppose your Government’s measures to cut the support provided by the Future Jobs Fund for tens of thousands of young people out of work, to damage growth in the regions by scaling back regional development agencies, and to cast uncertainty over support for key low carbon sectors like the nuclear supply chain and lower carbon vehicles; further note that a rebalanced British economy must be built as the UK emerges from the recession; and therefore urge your Government to reconsider the removal of investment allowances which support manufacturing businesses seeking to grow.’.
Angus Robertson
Mr Elfyn Llwyd
Caroline Lucas
Stewart Hosie
Mr Mike Weir
(b)
 
   ‘but respectfully request that your Government includes as part of its Strategic Defence and Security Review a full examination of the Trident nuclear missile system and any possible replacement.’.
   Proposed subject for debate: Economic Affairs and Work and Pensions
   Debate may continue until 10.00 pm. If an amendment is disposed of at or after 10.00 pm, a further amendment selected by the Speaker may be moved, and the Question will be put without debate (Standing Order No. 33).
