>> Dr Rupa Huq (Ealing Central and Acton) (Lab):

If he will list his official engagements for Wednesday 23 October.

>> The Prime Minister (Boris Johnson): The whole House will be shocked by the appalling

news that 39 bodies have been discovered in a lorry container in Essex. This is an unimaginable

and truly heartbreaking tragedy, and I know that the thoughts and prayers of all Members

are with those who lost their lives and their loved ones. I am receiving regular updates.

The Home Office will work closely with Essex police to establish exactly what happened,

and my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary will make an oral statement immediately after

This morning, I had meeting with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties

in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

>> Dr Huq: I completely associate myself with the Prime

Minister's remarks about the tragedy in Essex—I do not normally do that, but on

It is good to see the Prime Minister at Prime Minister's Question Time. Until today, I

think he had only ever done one—in 100 days. We all know that he has a long list of shortcomings,

so could he— Will he do something about one that he does have some control over and

>> The Prime Minister: I will try to reply with the generosity of

spirit that the hon. Lady would expect from me and just say that I receive excellent advice

from a wide range of advisers and officials. It is the role of advisers to advise and the

role of the Government to decide, and I take full responsibility for everything the Government

>> Sir Patrick McLoughlin (Derbyshire Dales) (Con):

My right hon. Friend achieved what many said was impossible and negotiated a new Brexit

deal, which passed through the House last night. Does he share my regret that many in

the Labour party, including the Leader of the Opposition, voted once again to delay

our leaving with a deal on 31 October, not least given that he told the House on 22 February

2016 that his party welcomed the fact that it was now up to the British people to decide

>> The Prime Minister: As so often, my right hon. Friend has spoken

with complete good sense. I do think it was remarkable that so many Members of the House

were able to come together last night and approve the Bill's Second Reading. I think

that it was a great shame that the House willed the end but not the means, but there is still

time for the Leader of the Opposition to do that and to explain to the people of this

country how he proposes to honour his promise—which he made repeatedly—and deliver on the will

of the people and get Brexit done. Perhaps he will enlighten us now.

>> Jeremy Corbyn (Islington North) (Lab): I join others who have expressed their deep

sadness at today's news that 39 people have been found dead in a lorry container in Grays.

Can we just think for a moment about what it must have been like for those 39 people,

obviously in a desperate and dangerous situation, to end their lives suffocated to death in

This is an unbelievable human tragedy, which happened in our country at this time. We clearly

need to look at the whole situation and look for answers to what has happened. I do, however,

also pay an enormous tribute to those in the emergency services who went to the scene to

deal with it. All of us should just think for a moment about what it is like to be a

police officer or a firefighter and about what it was like to open that container and

have to remove 39 bodies from it and deal with them in an appropriate and humane way.

We should just think for a moment about what inhumanity is done to other human beings at

Yesterday, before the Prime Minister decided to delay his own withdrawal Bill, he promised

to maintain— Let me finish. Before he decided to delay his own withdrawal Bill— If Members

care to look at Hansard, they will see what it says. The Prime Minister promised to maintain

environmental, consumer and workers' rights. Why, then, did he have those commitments removed

from the legally binding withdrawal agreement?

>> The Prime Minister: I do not think we could have been clearer

yesterday in our commitment to the highest possible standards for workers' rights and

environmental standards. Indeed, I think that one of the things that brought the House together

was the knowledge that, as we go forward and build our future partnership with the EU,

it will always be open to Members in all parts of the House to work together to ensure that

whatever the EU comes up with, we can match it and pass it into the law of this country.

That, I think, commanded a lot of support and a lot of assent across the House.

I must say that I find it peculiar that the right hon. Gentleman now wants the Bill back,

because he voted against it last night, and he whipped his entire party against it. I

think it remarkable that the House successfully defied his urgings and approved that deal.

What I think we would like to hear from him now is his commitment to getting Brexit done.

That is what the public want to hear, and I am afraid they are worried that all he wants

>> Jeremy Corbyn: The Prime Minister does not answer the question

that I put to him, which was about environmental, consumer and workers' rights. I am not surprised,

because he once said that “employment regulation” was “back-breaking”, and he voted for

the anti-Trade Union Act 2016, which stripped away employment protections. The provisions

in the Bill offer no real protection at all.

Yesterday, during the debate on the Bill, the Prime Minister pledged that the NHS was

safe in his hands. If that is the case, will he be backing our amendment in the Queen's

Speech debate tonight, which would undo the very damaging privatisation of so much of

>> The Prime Minister: The right hon. Gentleman is showing complete

ignoratio elenchi—a complete failure to study what we actually passed last night in

that historic agreement. It is very clear that it is open to the House to do better,

where it chooses, on animal welfare standards or social protections, as indeed this country

very often does. We lead the way: we are a groundbreaker in this country. I am afraid

to say that the right hon. Gentleman has no other purpose in seeking to frustrate Brexit

As for the NHS, this is the party whose sound management of the economy took this country

back from the abyss and enabled us to spend another £34 billion on the NHS—a record

investment—and, as I  promised on the steps of Downing Street, to

begin the upgrade of 20 hospitals, and as a result of the commitments this Government

are making, 40 new hospitals will be built in the next 10 years. That is this party's

>> Mr Speaker: Order. Mr Russell-Moyle, you are an incorrigible

individual, yelling from a sedentary position at the top of your voice at every turn. Calm

yourself man; take some sort of soothing medicament from which you will benefit.

>> Jeremy Corbyn: Two questions and we are still waiting for

an answer, although we could do with a translation of the first part of the Prime Minister's

I hate to break it to the Prime Minister, but under his Government and that of his predecessor,

privatisation has more than doubled to £10 billion in our NHS. There are currently 20

NHS contracts out to tender, and when he promised 40 hospitals, he then reduced that to 20,

and then it turns out that reconfiguration is taking place in just six hospitals. So
