Horizon: Compensation and Convictions - Statement (10 Jan 2024)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, nothing that is done at this stage can even get close to putting right these terrible wrongs, which will be a dark stain on our polity for a long time. The whole House will welcome what is now being done, which is the best that can be done at this stage. I will focus on the issue of the company, Fujitsu. In 2010, we found that it was deeply entrenched across the whole of central...

Procurement Bill [HL] - Report (1st Day): Amendment 37 (28 Nov 2022)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, I support government Amendment 40. This is very worthwhile. I am also very sympathetic to Amendment 41, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Wallace of Saltaire. The reality is that not-for-profits, social enterprises and mutuals, when they come to retender or bid for different contracts, because a number of mutuals we supported have grown, both by expanding into different areas for the...

Procurement Bill [HL] - Report (1st Day): Amendment 33 (28 Nov 2022)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords—

Procurement Bill [HL] - Report (1st Day): Amendment 33 (28 Nov 2022)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, I draw attention to my interests as set out in the register. I am co-owner of a company that provides advice to Governments outside the UK on issues of public sector reform, including procurement—a subject that is not dear to very many people’s hearts but is to mine. I am delighted to have the chance to speak on this important group of amendments. I assume that it is accepted...

Procurement Bill [HL] - Report (1st Day): Amendment 1 (28 Nov 2022)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, I have a very specific point to raise by way of reassurance. It is clear from the debate so far that these are complex areas that are particularly complicated because of the interaction between this Bill and the previous Health and Social Care Act; I wish my noble friend the Minister well in disentangling that and making it all clear to your Lordships. My concern is around the...

Procurement Bill [HL] - Second Reading (25 May 2022)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, it is a pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Alton. I start by drawing attention to my entry in the register of interests, particularly my majority shareholding in FMA, a company that supports the implementation of reforms for Governments outside—I stress “outside”—the United Kingdom; this includes supporting them on the reform and operation of their procurement systems....

Government: Leadership Training - Motion to Take Note (16 Sep 2021)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, I declare my interests in the register, particularly my chairmanship of FMA, which provides support to Governments outside the UK on public sector and efficiency reform. I congratulate my noble friend Lord Norton on securing this debate, which is very timely. What better day to be debating the need for training Ministers than when the reshuffle has just happened and a raft of new...

European Union (Future Relationship) Bill - Second Reading (and remaining stages): Amendment to the Motion (30 Dec 2020)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, I congratulate my right honourable friend the Prime Minister, and the whole negotiating team in the Government, on achieving this deal. It is not perfect and could never have been perfect; the cake was never available to be had and eaten at the same time. But it is a remarkable achievement to have done this in such a short space of time. I spent much of my early ministerial career...

Covid-19: UK Border Health Measures - Statement ( 4 Jun 2020)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, I declare my interest as an adviser to IFM, which is a shareholder in Manchester Airports Group, but also as someone who I think has had this virus so I know what it is like. Of course everyone will understand the concern that there is to minimise infections in future, but because of that it is extremely important that we in this House—but also the public more widely—see and...

Budget Statement - Motion to Take Note (18 Mar 2020)

Lord Maude of Horsham: At the risk of prolonging this, does my noble friend accept that one of the reasons the cost of offshore wind has fallen so much is that there was a subsidy that enabled the unit cost of installing it to fall? Something similar could happen with tidal power. This country is uniquely equipped with the natural resource to develop something capable of being exported very widely and generating a...

Budget Statement - Motion to Take Note (18 Mar 2020)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, I draw attention to my interests in the register, including as co-founder of a start-up with my noble friend Lady Finn. It is a great pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Brooke. He and I had dealings some 30 years ago when I was Financial Secretary and he was leading the Inland Revenue Staff Federation. He was calm, courteous and moderate then, as he is in your Lordships’...

European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill - Second Reading (13 Jan 2020)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, it is a pleasure to congratulate the two maiden speakers in this debate. I worked closely with my noble friend Lord Barwell when I was chairman of the Conservative Party some years ago. Both he and the noble Lord, Lord Mann, made powerful maiden speeches here today, and I am sure the House looks forward to hearing much more from them in the months ahead. I draw attention to my...

Public Procurement and the Civil Society Strategy - Motion to Take Note (23 May 2019)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, I draw attention to my entry in the register of interests, and I congratulate my noble friend on securing this important debate. Public procurement is rarely a subject that sets the pulse racing but it is important, accounting for, as we have heard, just about a third of public spending, and the way in which it is done and the success of how it is done make a huge difference to what...

Written Answers — Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport: Public Sector: Mutual Societies (19 Feb 2019)

Lord Maude of Horsham: To ask Her Majesty's Government what public service mutuals have been created since May 2010; and what is the current status of each one.

Leaving the European Union - Statement (21 Jan 2019)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, does my noble friend agree that those who seek to exclude a no-deal result without also excluding a second referendum are simply illustrating that what they want is not to exclude a no-deal Brexit but not to have Brexit at all? Although I regret that the Prime Minister’s deal was rejected by the other place, particularly by such a catastrophic margin, can she throw any light on...

Migrant Crossings - Statement ( 7 Jan 2019)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, the whole House will applaud the measured, calm and professional way in which my noble friend has moved seamlessly from conducting a Bill through its Second Reading to dealing with this issue. Of course, everyone will agree that it is undesirable for individuals to seek to cross the channel in this way and that we should all be concerned about it. However, she makes the point, and...

Future Immigration - Statement (19 Dec 2018)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, does my noble friend accept that very many people who voted for Britain to leave the European Union were not driven or heavily motivated by concerns about immigration? This was not a consideration for very many of them and if we end up with a plan B for Brexit—that we remain in the European Economic Area with the attenuated form of freedom of movement of people that that...

Brexit: Negotiations and No-deal Contingency Planning - Statement ( 4 Sep 2018)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, is it not now clear that, despite the best efforts of my noble friend and his Secretary of State, whom I admire greatly, the Chequers proposal could be agreed only at the expense of further, very substantial concessions extracted under duress, which would lock the UK indefinitely into a highly disadvantageous one-sided arrangement? Is it not now clear that there is a growing and...

Exiting the EU - Statement ( 9 Jul 2018)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords—

Exiting the EU - Statement ( 9 Jul 2018)

Lord Maude of Horsham: My Lords, will my noble friend be minded respectfully to suggest that this plan will mean that for trade in goods, for some years at any rate, this will mean that Britain will remain effectively in the single market—of course, the single market in services, especially financial services, is very far from complete—but that these arrangements will not be set in perpetuity? This is a...
