Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill - Second Reading (26 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: It is the industry that is the dinosaur, not you.

Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill - Second Reading (26 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: My Lords, I shall do my best to not be long-winded and boring. This Bill is yet another example of this Government’s colossal stupidity. They are a deliquescent Government that really should stop putting Bills through both Houses. It is also quite dangerous. It is a climate change deniers’ charter. I guess it came from Tufton Street and all the Conservative Party donors attached to the...

Food Security - Question (26 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: My Lords—

Food Security - Question (26 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: Really?

Food Security - Question (26 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: My Lords—

Food Security - Question (26 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: My Lords—for the third time—can the Minister answer the question from the noble Baroness, Lady Bakewell: at the Farm to Fork event, will there be people from the environmental lobby who are well-informed about how to preserve nature?

Asylum Claims - Question (25 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: My Lords, a Member on the Benches opposite recently said that Rwanda was safe as long as one did not oppose the Government. Is that the way that this Government are going—so we are all safe as long as we do not oppose them?

Asylum Seekers: Rwanda - Question (21 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: My Lords, if Rwanda is a safe country, can we have an explanation of why we are taking Rwandan refugees here in Britain?

Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill - Commons Reasons: Motion A1 (as an amendment to Motion A) (20 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: My Lords, what a pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Lipsey, with whom I agree. I felt that the Minister’s opening remarks were so full of mistakes that I shall go through them tomorrow in Hansard with a red pen and pass them back to him, if that is all right, so he can see exactly where I think he went wrong. It was expected that the other place would take out all our important...

Advanced Modular Reactors: Criticality Tests - Question (19 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: My Lords, do the Government give any assistance to these developers in terms of the environmental impact of the entire life cycle of their systems, or is that completely disregarded?

Spring Budget 2024 - Motion to Take Note (18 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: I too welcome the noble Lord, Lord Kempsell, and congratulate him on his maiden speech, which was concise and interesting. That bodes well for future contributions. I recognise the scenario that the noble Lord, Lord Eatwell, put forward. I did not really recognise the scenario that the Minister put forward. I think that we are in a terrible mess in this country, and this Budget does nothing...

Criminal Justice Act 2003 (Suitability for Fixed Term Recall) Order 2024 - Motion to Approve (18 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: I can sort of see the rationale for this, but it is completely misguided. Every time the Government talk about tougher sentences and being tougher on crime and the causes of crime, they start packing out the prisons. Of course, there is now no capacity. This is a rather cynical move to clear out the prisoners so that we can pack other people in. I have a much better idea, which I will come to...

West Midlands Combined Authority (Transfer of Police and Crime Commissioner Functions) Order 2024 - Motion to Approve: Amendment to the Motion (13 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: My Lords, I support the noble Lord, Lord Bach, despite not liking regret amendments, which are a legislative equivalent of saying “tut-tut”. What is the point? I also do not like the police and crime commissioner system. It is not as well overseen as the previous system of local police committees and was yet another government mistake. However, I will vote for the regret amendment. The...

Biomass: Power Generation - Question (13 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: My Lords, I think we are missing a point with some of these answers. The fact is that this is taxpayers’ money going on a business scam. Why can the Government not see that?

Victims and Prisoners Bill - Committee (7th Day): Amendment 149 (12 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: My Lords, I rise possibly as an elder, owing to my advanced age; but perhaps not. I would like to support the noble and learned Lord, Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd. As he said, there is almost nothing left to say about these prisoners. It is an injustice. I hope that the Government are considering accepting some of these amendments. We cannot say that we have a justice system if we have an innate...

Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill - Third Reading: Motion (12 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Howard, said that no one else has put forward another idea. In fact, many of us have talked about finding safe and legal routes. This Government seem incredibly reluctant to do this. I do not understand why. This Bill is an absolute stinker. It is the worst of the worst. I have seen terrible Bills come through this House, but this is by far the worst. It is a...

Forest Risk Commodity Regulations - Question (12 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: My Lords, do we have to continue with biomass subsidies after 2027? I would like some confirmation on that. Secondly, ancient forests in Canada are still being cut down to make wood pellets to supply companies such as Drax, which has had billions in subsidies. It is not clean energy, it is highly polluting and it is not economical, so why are the Government still doing that?

Written Answers — Department for Transport: Railways: East of England (11 Mar 2024)

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Davies of Gower on 28 February (HL2548), whether they will now answer the question put; namely, what are the minimum and expected timescales for the following stages of Ely Area Capacity Enhancement and upgrading of Haughley Junction: (1) the final business case, (2) the Ministerial decision to proceed to implementation,...
