it wasn't labour cutting cuts. we just to have introduce measures to deal with the mess that they made. but instead of just top-down cuts we want to work with these organizations and say how do we help you to maximize the impact on the front line? that's why we are scrapping the stop form, labour introduced that. that is going to save 450,000 hours of police time. we are going to limit stop and search reporting which will save another 350,000 hours of police time. this is the nonsense the bureaucracy, the form-filling they put in place and we want the police to get out and do the job people want them to do. >> harriet har money. -- harman. >> that extra hundred million pounds he's spending on elect g electing. will he drop his proposal for elected police commissioners and give the police the resources they need to protect front line applying? -- policing. >> the straight answer to that is no i won't. and i'll tell you why. it's about time we had more accountable police forces in our country. i want there to be poli

the approach that labour took for all those years did not work. the time for endlessly telling head teachers what to do and how to spend their money is over. it is time to trust head teachers, give them the budget and let them decide how to make sure that we have great competitive sport within school and between schools. >> if the prime minister will not take it from me, perhaps he will take it from jo phillips, the school sports coordinator in chipping norton school in his constituency. in a letter to me, she said -- "i am devastated to witness the potential demise of this legacy with the sweep of mr gove's pen. i wish that he had spoken to me, the teachers in our partnership, our students, our parents and our local sports clubs and providers". i say to >> this is frankly a daft decision that he should u- turn on as soon as possible. i am afraid that it sums up this education secretary -- high-handed, incompetent and unfair. why does the prime minister not get a grip on it? >> i have to tell the right honorable gentleman that last year the propor

the leader of the opposition has talked about economic policy and cuts, and we now know from the labour party's own memorandum what their cuts would be. this is what they said. this is not the institute for fiscal studies, the government or the conservative party -- this is a labour memorandum. the cuts -- [interruption.] >> order. i apologize for interrupting the prime minister. members must remain calm. if not serene, then they must at any rate be calm at all times. we must hear the prime minister. >> the people responsible for making the mess should be quiet when they are told how it will be cleared up. the cuts implied by its spending plans would have been 44 billion pounds in 2014-2015. those are their cuts, which we are having to implement. i was always told that if you have got nothing to say, it is better not to say it. >> we can see the faces on the liberal democrat benches. the honorable member for southwark and bermondsey has described that policy as "harsh and draconian". no wonder he looks glum. then we have glummer, the deputy prime minister -- it is no wonder that he is b

speaker, i know that she can reposition the labour party as the champion of students. let's remember -- let's remember -- let's remember -- let's remember the labour party's record. against tuition fees in 1997 and introduce them a few months later. again pop-up fees in the manifesto in 2001 and then set up the brown review which they are now trashing. now -- now have a policy to actually tax graduates which the front bench doesn't even believe in. maybe she will go out for the studies who are protesting out now and explain what on earth her policy is. >> as a result of his plan, english students will pay amongst the highest fees of any public university system in the industrialized world. and why? not to give universities more funds, no. to replace the cuts he's making to university teaching. can he tell the house -- mr. speaker, can he tell the house about the tuition fees? >> and they also had plans to make massive cuts massive cuts in the department's budget which would have affected higher education. here are a few facts. every single graduate under our scheme wil

respect to the two nominees, larry del carlo and larry mazzola jr., i think it is important to have labour representation. i am open to supporting mr. mazzola. mr. del carlo, his involvement and experience is something the project could benefit from. i don't have a problem moving these items for. the question that i have this the context or the form it takes. we do have a recommendation from the supervisor from the district that is a and asking -- that is asking to reject. i am not prepared to reject today. i think the board should take them and act on them quickly. i am prepared to do that. i am wondering, out of deference to the supervisor, if we could not just move the items forward with high recommendation that this point? i think that would allow the board to act quickly on them. i think it also provides some time for the mayor's office to give us more than just the assurance that they are going to do what is right and the. -- and appoint someone from the island, and make that happen. supervisor alioto-pier: i would be happy to do that out of deference to you. supervisor campos: that

it was a promiseade by the previous labour government knowing that the check would bounce. we had made a decision on westland in light of our difficult controversial decision to consent to the public finances. that's the difference. >> the deputy prime minister may be aware that in response to the spending review, they announced the wage cut of 27%. in contrast, the chief constable of lang shir is redunn about the. does he agree with me? >> my friend the community secretary has called in all local authority chief executives earning under 200,000 pounds to take a 10% pay cut. they need to make sacrifices just as everybody else is. i understand everybody's attachment. i think it would be a breech of the traditions of policing in this country if we start second-guessing chief constable. what i think we all want is more visible policing. it can't be right that the system we inherited from the party opposite means that 11% of police officers are ever seen on our streets at any one time. >> gavin. >> thank you, mr. speaker. >> it's a shameful policy. he received a request to addr

and as i understand it, the labour front bench support this change, yes? >> no. >> on a previous occasion, the leader of the labour party said he supported to disability living allowance or is this another area where it's back to the blank sheet of paper? >> mr. speaker, now that the government has brought forward details of its new homes bonus, will the prime minister join me in rug si council who are proceeding with proposals for substantial development? >> i do think this is important. for years we were spending lots of money on housing but not building any houses. why? 'cause there was no incentives for authorities and we're changing that and i believe that even though the resources are limited a lot more house-building will go ahead. >> i'm sure, mr. speaker, the prime minister will agree with me that education is a powerful agent for social mobility. and while i welcome in principle the pupil premium, emerging details seems to suggest that taken together with the withdrawal of the education maintenance allowance, it could detour some young people fro

we now know i'm a we from the labour party's own memorandum what they're cuts would be. this is what they say. this is not -- this is not the government, this is not a conservative body. this is a labor member randa. that cut -- [shouting] >> order, order. members must remain calm. it's not so rain. we must do the prime minister. >> people responsible for making the mess should be quiet when there are told how 20 be cleaned up. [shouting] >> the cuts and lie about our spending plans would have been 44 billion pounds in 2014, 15. those are their cuts. that is what we are having to implement. i was always told if you got nothing to say, be better not to say it. >> mr. speaker, we can see the faces on the liberal democrat benches. the honorable members described his policy as harsh and dracone. no wonder he looks glum. and we have lumber, the deputy prime minister. i tell you, i to you, it's no wonder he's back on the back, mr. speaker.

this is the annual setting of the prevailing wages for the crafts of labour that will be done -- performed for the city. this is in accordance of charter section 80.7, and various administrative sections -- code sections. supervisor avalos: thank you. i recognize there are a number of contracts that were referred to which included prevailing wages. my main question is, the wages become different as those contracts changed here every year -- year after year. that is what we provide the prevailing wage as? >> we provide them as mou's, the kind of labor, as well as the labor determinations as given by the department of industrial regulations. supervisor avalos: thank you. mr. rose, if you could share your report. >> the prevailing wage rates are set forward in our report. our recommendation is a policy matter for the board of supervisors. supervisor avalos: thank you for your presentation. we can go on to public comment. is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. okay, without objection. to the full board with recommendation

last we have the gender diversity as well by far did -- by far beating what you have in the regular labour market. make sure not to cut off your own hands. it is unfortunate we have to raise objections to this -- >> thank you. next speaker please. >> our city is standing up in support of local hiring mandates. localization -- anyone in the environmental movement knows localization is the word. the more workers are in the community, the less commuting, the less pollution, and the more the economic situation is better for the community because the money circulates a lot more within the community, so the whole mantra is global and -- is localization. the other thing i want to talk about is how important this is to actually strengthening unions. right now in the united states, unions are taking it on the chin. with the democrats in charge of the legislature and the presidency, we could not get checks past. we make sure we put people in the union. we make sure we have local solidarity that will strengthen the unions. they need to look of the long term, and with -- if we had 50% of the people at

the current and recent head of our processing unit, jonathan nellie and linda martinez, and our two labour relation analysts. last but certainly not least, i would like to recognize ken, the division pose a manager. i would like to say a few quick words about ken. he was absolutely stellar throughout this process, providing the leadership, of dr, and the know-how in this incredibly complicated process. he is deeply conscientious, task-oriented. he kept us all on the path. he was really able to keep his dedicated staff motivated through a process that was very onerous and we were under really tight deadlines. i commend him and his staff for all of the work they did in implementing the new recreation model. >> thank you. [applause] >> do you like them? >> i like them, but not that. >> ready? 1, 2, 3. congratulations. >> who brought all this candy? margaret? who do we owe this candy to? >> can we have the overhead? yes. we will dive into this. i just wanted to congratulate the winners of our employee recognition award. this is one of our most talented gardners. i can vouch for the incredible

labour would like this to go to this. >> was this agreed to buy at the bargaining unit? >> police, fire, service workers, management. >> we are not here to solve internal problems. our job is not to placate the internal issue. >> it is time to hear it out. >> we will be entering into the bargaining. this makes it fairly clear what they are. this is also what the number of bargaining units are. the changes greatly reduces the number of potential that can be challenged and indeed will be in a very unstable situation. this is very outdated and now conflicts with state law. the credibility and responsibility to our labor partners, they are also on board and they deserve to benefit from the change that will be brought to. if we knew that one week would take, and this is before the other labor issues. >> i am wondering if i could get some information about what the harm would be. what would be the heart of waiting? >> it was a guarantee of one week or two, he would not see objections from the city's side of the table. there is no guarantee that when you take steps to undergo t

we do not have to settle for the dead and waste and taxes left to us by labour. we can put behind us the economic incompetence, the breakdown, the political division, and the mistrust. of course, i hope that a conservative majority would be the outcome of this election and that we could have started today making the changes that i believe our country so badly needs. i know how much the conservative party itself -- all my colleagues in parliament, all the members and activists from the country -- wanted that as well, but i also know they wanted something more than that. they want the best for britain. the conservative party has always been a party that puts the national interest first, and the best thing, the national interest, the best thing for britain now is a new government that works together in the national interest, and i hope with all my heart that is something we can achieve. that is all i have to say for now. i hope you understand, but i will not be taking questions because this urgent work must begin. thank you. >> we leave the british leader's speeches

a report from the augmented ad hoc committee on personnel and dashon labour relations, commissioner -- on personnel and labor relations, commissioner? commissioner norton: it has been quite positive. i am just looking for my notes. we had a report on the new teacher project staffing, and i cannot find the notes right now, but it was very positive, and we are building our capacity to recruit teachers in some of our highest in the areas. we also heard some issues related to secretarial, custodial, in mailroom services that work clarified for us, -- and mailroom services, and the local gave us a report, which now both sides of declared an impasse. would you like the work was committee report? -- the rules committee report? we did hear a legislative overview, not a lot of legislation in front of us. we did get a little bit of a report on moving the hvac -- moving the age back on kindergarten. there are going to be some effects. 18 is monitoring this -- a team is monitoring this. we also have a report from susan wong, and this is really going to be a great effort. they are working on a con

that i want to make is that we have 30,000 children under the age of 13 where all parents are in the labour force, and they are over $1.40 million annually, so there is an economic imperative here, as well. sadly, the work force is not immune to the crisis of available child care, so we want to make sure that child care is available for the employees of san francisco. supervisor dufty not: do you wao comment on some of the things that ms. sullivan mentioned? >> we do agree that we do have the resources to understand the supply and quality of child care. we also of expertise and can look at what would be the components of a feasibility study, so we are willing to partner in that effort. we also agree that there is not a provision to mandate a sister department to require the child care. we do feel strongly that if the feasibility indicates that it is feasible that there had better be sufficient reason and evidence as to what the department -- hoping that funding would be held back until an acceptable response is provided. >> and what about -- supervisor dufty: and then what about the require

with the general labour the fabric, it is four stories in would be the predominant scale. on the eastern half, the neighborhood scale would be about six stories. it would provide that sort of typical of san francisco neighborhood feel that you might be accustomed to. at key points throughout the neighborhood, it would be some slightly larger buildings with six-day stories -- 6-8 stories and other key points of activity. adjacent to exisitng tow -- existing towers would be not taller than the existing towers that exist today. the open space program is fairly rich, and it is comprised of a series of new or redesigned the public and open spaces. you might think of a typical public open space that would be open to all, and have the sort of facilities that you might see as a typical rent part -- rec park. i mentioned the neighborhood commons. sort of your small scale neighborhood park essentially within a couple of blocks of every resident in the district. these would be activated by small-scale cafe, corner store type of activities. it would really be nestled in the neighborho
