Land Use in England Committee Report - Motion to Take Note (25 Jul 2023)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, I remind the House of my interests as president of the Countryside Alliance and as a very small-scale farmer up on the Exmoor National Park. I have the privilege of being one of the members of the Land Use in England Committee, chaired expertly by the noble Lord, Lord Cameron of Dillington, to whom we are all indebted for today’s debate. It is something of a rarity, in that there...

Written Answers — Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Land Use ( 9 May 2023)

Baroness Mallalieu: To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that requirements for land use which fall within the remit of (1) the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, (2) the Department for Business and Trade, (3) the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and (4) the Department for Transport, and are outside the remit of the Department for Environment, Food and...

Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill - Second Reading (17 Jan 2023)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, I remind the House of my interests as set out in the register. I have just one ask of the Minister when she comes to reply. Can she give an assurance that this legislation will apply equally to urban areas of deprivation and to what is arguably the area where levelling up is most needed and has historically been neglected: England’s deprived rural communities? The noble Lord, Lord...

Written Answers — Treasury: Excise Duties: Red Diesel (21 Nov 2022)

Baroness Mallalieu: To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to review the prohibition of the use of red diesel for off-road purposes in relation to the equine industry.

Health and Care Bill - Report (4th Day): Amendment 170 (16 Mar 2022)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, this amendment surely goes to something of importance to all of us in this House, whether we support assisted dying or not, because it is about the role of Parliament and the proper exercise of the duties of an elected Government. The Supreme Court has repeatedly said that Parliament, and not the courts, should consider whether in some circumstances assisted dying should be legal....

National Farmers’ Union - Question ( 2 Mar 2022)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, does the Minister agree that what has happened in Europe in the last week should be a warning for us, because the environmental schemes that we have just passed through this House in two Bills are inevitably going to lead to a reduction in the amount of land actually used for farming for food? What is happening indicates that we cannot rely simply on being able to buy cheaper food...

Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill [HL] - Third Reading: Amendment to the Motion (13 Dec 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, I remind the House of my interests as a member of the RSPCA and president of the Countryside Alliance and the Horse Trust. I too thank the Minister for his patience and courtesy during the passage of this Bill. Given the opposition from parts of the House, this cannot have been an unalloyed pleasure for him. It gives me no pleasure to support the amendment tabled by the noble Lord,...

Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill [HL] - Report (Continued): Amendment 28 ( 6 Dec 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, Amendment 45 in my name is in this group. I have listened to crocodiles and in the next group we will get crabs and lobsters, so I will introduce the fish. If the Minister thinks it right to put crabs and lobsters in the Bill, he might consider my amendment. There is a very significant body of scientific evidence that fish feel pain and are sentient animals. Individuals are capable...

Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill [HL] - Report (Continued): Amendment 7 ( 6 Dec 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: I am the lucky recipient of yet another of the amendments tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Mancroft. He did not indicate to me why he had decoupled it from the previous group. I think the Minister has, in effect, already replied by saying that he is not prepared to put in the Bill who should be on the committee. The amendment tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Mancroft, effectively sets out who...

Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill [HL] - Report (Continued): Amendment 7 ( 6 Dec 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: I thank the Minister for her reply. I just hope that the reassurance she has given us will be followed by future Secretaries of State. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 7 withdrawn. Amendment 8 not moved.

Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill [HL] - Report (Continued): Amendment 2 ( 6 Dec 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, can I add to what the noble Lord, Lord Hamilton, has just said? I remind those in the House who have not looked closely at the terms of reference of the relationship that is anticipated between this new committee and the excellent existing Animal Welfare Committee. They are to have a joint secretariat with Defra, a joint website, a joint point of contact and the same Defra budget....

Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill [HL] - Report: Amendment 1 ( 6 Dec 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, Amendments 12, 14 and 16 in this group are in my name. However, I will first support Amendment 1 in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Trees, which seems to be both sensible and necessary to be made to the Bill if we are to have a committee in this form at all. I also support the amendments in this group in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Howard of Rising. I have one query about the...

Assisted Dying Bill [HL] - Second Reading: Amendment to the Motion (22 Oct 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, I strongly support this Bill. On 18 July 2014, we debated a similar Bill in this House, introduced by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Falconer. I have been haunted ever since by part of a speech by the late Lord Judd, who read out a letter which had been sent to him: “My uncle, a foreman toolmaker and a strapping six-footer who played football for the works team, developed...

Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill [HL] - Second Reading (16 Jun 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, I declare my interests as president of the Horse Trust, president of the Countryside Alliance, a member of the RSPCA and a farmer. I admit that I probably spend more time in the company of animals than I do with your Lordships. If this Bill proceeds in its present form, I have a strong premonition that future Governments will look back on it and ask, “Why on earth did we do...

Agri-environment Schemes: Permissive Access - Question (27 May 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, I remind the House of my interests as set out in the register and am very cheered by the Minister’s response to the noble Baroness, Lady Quin. Many rural roads were not designed for the volume and types of traffic that they now carry and are becoming increasingly dangerous, especially for walkers, cyclists and riders. So what plans do the Government have to increase and finance...

Environmental Land Management Schemes - Question (24 May 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, I, too, welcome the noble Lord, Lord Benyon. I do not know about his cabbage, but he certainly knows his oats, and he is particularly welcome for that reason. I remind the House of my farming interests. A recurring theme in the feedback from the ELMS trials so far is the need for free advice about eligibility, especially for smaller farms. Will the Government make that a priority...

Queen’s Speech - Debate (4th Day) (17 May 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Coaker, brought us passion and poetry, and the noble Lord, Lord Morse, is going to bring formidable financial expertise. I welcome and congratulate them both. I would like to focus on rural communities, for which I had hoped to see more in the gracious Speech but sadly did not. In doing so, I remind the House of my rural and farming interests as set out in the...

Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill - Second Reading (16 Apr 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, I declare my interests as president of the Horse Trust and a long-standing member of the RSPCA. I strongly support the Bill and express my gratitude both to Mr Chris Loder in the other place and to the noble Lord, Lord Randall of Uxbridge, for their sponsorship of it. It is commendably and unusually short. It has a clear purpose and a single target, and I hope that attempts are not...

Covid-19: One Year Report - Motion to Take Note (25 Mar 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, on 13 March last year, this country had a carefully prepared plan from the Department of Health, which the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley, referred to. It was to be used in the event of a pandemic caused by a serious respiratory disease with a projected death toll of up to 750,000. It involved shielding the elderly, the sick and the vulnerable, but keeping life as near normal for...

Heather and Grass etc. Burning (England) Regulations 2021 - Motion to Regret (18 Mar 2021)

Baroness Mallalieu: My Lords, I am sorry that I am unable to support my noble friend Lady Jones. The Government have been caught in the middle between those who want all rotational burning stopped and those who believe that no additional restrictions are necessary or supported by the most recent research, and I think they have produced a not unreasonable compromise. I will offer a caution: living in Exmoor...
