Tony Baldry MP for North Oxfordshire today attended a landmark address by Bill Gates in The Houses of Parliament during which Mr. Gates praised the UK for its continued global leadership in the field of International Development.

My whole political life has been predated on the basis that we will only make progress if we all accept responsibility so far as possible for ourselves, our families, and the communities in which we live and I share responsibility for the communities in which we live and don’t simply expect that “the State” will solve all our problems for us.

Tony Baldry: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) whether NHS organisations consult any advisory body on the appointment of NHS chaplains; [11239]

Tony Baldry: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice with reference to article 57 of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption 2004, what embezzled public funds the Serious and Organised Crime Agency has returned to victim governments following convictions in the UK for money laundering and corruption in the last five years.

Tony Baldry: Church groups of all denominations are seeking to encourage and persuade the Government to continue the listed places of worship grant scheme, which enables a 100% refund of VAT on church buildings and repairs.

The Second Church Estates Commissioner (Tony Baldry): I have received numerous representations from people on all sides of the argument. I recently addressed the General Synod of the Church of England on this matter in York, and I have placed a copy of my statement in the Library.

Tony Baldry: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he is taking to support the International Criminal Court in bringing the President of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir, to trial. [11527]

Tony Baldry (Banbury) (Con): Will my right hon. Friend give an undertaking to the House that when the Chilcot inquiry issues its report, there will be a full day’s debate on it? Those of us who voted against the Iraq war did so because we always believed it to be contrary to international law and illegal. The only reasonable inference that one can draw from all the evidence that has emerged is that Blair took Britain to war on the basis of a lie.

Tony Baldry (Banbury) (Con): What are the Government going to do to make it safer for motorcyclists by improving the tests for motorcyclists? In particular, the last Government so reduced the number of test sites that we had the slightly ludicrous situation of motorcyclists who had not passed the test having to travel considerable distances on their motorbikes to take the test. So can we see some improvement in the test regime for motorcyclists?

Tony Baldry: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what recent assessment she has made of progress of her Department’s research project on electric pet training devices; and (a) how, (b) where and (c) through whom the dogs used in the study have been sourced. [6769]
