Foreign Affairs - Motion to Take Note (Continued) ( 5 Mar 2024)

Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton: ...Gordon Brown that committed to 0.7%, it was a Conservative Government—a coalition Government, indeed—under my leadership that achieved 0.7%. It is worth remembering that. I will not reveal what Nick Clegg said to me privately when we were pushing for 0.7%, as that would be unfair.

Israel and Gaza (19 Dec 2023)

Richard Foord: ...: “Even if Israel manages to destroy Hamas, a similar movement will undoubtedly emerge from the destitution and despair of the Gaza Strip.” That was written by the then Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, during Israel’s Operation Protective Edge in August 2014. What are the British Government doing to prevent the recurrence of the terrible violence we are seeing in another decade?

Trade (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) Bill [HL] - Second Reading (21 Nov 2023)

Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton: ...for my part in putting—how can I put it?—space here at a premium. I note that the Liberal Democrat Benches are particularly full. I always said to my Deputy Prime Minister, partner and friend Nick Clegg that his party would feel the benefit of participating in the coalition for many years to come. I just did not predict exactly how that would manifest itself. I also thank Black Rod,...

Written Answers — Cabinet Office: Public Duty Costs Allowance (25 Oct 2023)

Baroness Neville-Rolfe: ...include supporting evidence showing how much is related to the Allowance and how much is not. I would note that the same audit provisions applied when former Liberal Democrat Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, claimed the Allowance.

Science, Innovation and Technology: Artificial Intelligence (19 Jul 2023)

Michael Fabricant: Was my right hon. Friend reassured by the comments made by Nick Clegg this morning, while representing Meta, that AI at present is not capable of individual thought as such, but goes through a massive trawl very quickly of existing data?

Illegal Migration Bill - Committee (3rd Day) (Continued): Amendment 58C ( 7 Jun 2023)

Lord Scriven: ...to be placed before your Lordships, otherwise we cannot in any conscience extend the detention limits. It was a great part of our history when the Deputy Prime Minister in the coalition Government, Nick Clegg, insisted that children, for immigration purposes, should not be detained, and the Conservative partners in that coalition Government agreed. Noble Lords can see that nothing has...

Illegal Migration Bill - Committee (1st Day): Amendment 1 (24 May 2023)

Lord Murray of Blidworth: .... It is right to say that they have been made by Governments of all stripes, not least in the Communications Bill, as we heard earlier in the debate, but also by the coalition Government and by Nick Clegg in the House of Lords Reform Bill 2012. As my noble friend Lord Wolfson rightly indicated, issuing a Section 19(1)(b) statement is a legitimate choice given to Ministers under the Human...

Scottish Parliament: Interest Rates (11 May 2023)

...Labour Party is little more than a Conservative tribute act. Just last week, Labour committed to keeping the Tories’ anti-protest legislation in place. On tuition fees, Keir Starmer has done a Nick Clegg and ditched his pledge to make university education free. We are absolutely committed to progressive taxation—the Scottish Government is leading the way on progressive taxation. What...

Illegal Migration Bill - Second Reading (Continued) (10 May 2023)

Lord Murray of Blidworth: .... This is what the situation demands and what the British public expect. Section 19(1)(b) statements have been made by Governments of all stripes. One was made by the then Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, when bringing forward the House of Lords Reform Bill in 2012. Similarly, Tessa Jowell made a Section 19(1)(b) statement in what became the Communications Act 2003. It is noteworthy...

Prime Minister: Engagements ( 3 May 2023)

Stephen Flynn: In 2010, David Cameron convinced Nick Clegg to adopt his pledge on university tuition fees. Does the Prime Minister intend to take the credit for convincing the leader of the Labour party to do likewise?

Illegal Migration Bill: Clause 2 - Duty to make arrangements for removal (28 Mar 2023)

John Martin McDonnell: ...UK, religious bodies, community groups and trade unions came together in one mass campaign. We had a huge breakthrough after the election. David Cameron was convinced and was supported by, yes, Nick Clegg and—she is no longer in her place— the right hon. Member for Maidenhead (Mrs May). Over a decade ago, we ended, with unanimity in this House, the routine detention of children. No...

Social Mobility (21 Mar 2023)

Daniel Poulter: ...Under the coalition Government, many of the initiatives that he outlined were started, and they are beginning to bear fruit. There was also a Cabinet Sub-Committee, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, focusing on social mobility and how we could target groups who had fallen behind. Would my right hon. Friend recommend that to the Minister as something that could be taken forward?...

Income Tax (Charge) (15 Mar 2023)

Kevin Foster: It is interesting to follow what we have just heard and reflect on where our energy supply would be if we had new nuclear reactors coming on line last year. The then Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, claimed about 10 years ago that it was not worth doing them. It is also interesting to reflect where motorists and household bills would be if we had listened to the resolution at a Liberal...

The allowance is reviewed annually by the Government. The allowance has an annual limit of £115,000, which has remained frozen since...

Cabinet Manual: Revision (Constitution Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note (16 Dec 2022)

Lord O'Donnell: ...Brown—a Labour Prime Minister—to start this process. It came to fruition in 2011 with David Cameron as Prime Minister, who signed it off with the full support of the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats. It has always brought parties together in trying to come up with something which basically codifies where we are, in the absence of a written constitution, and...

NHS Workforce ( 6 Dec 2022)

Wes Streeting: ...medical school places. Thousands more straight-A students in Britain who want to help have been turned away from training to become doctors. It is like the clip of the former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg saying in 2010 that there was no point in building new nuclear power stations because they would not come online until 2022. This country needs Governments who think beyond short-term...

Public Duty Costs Allowance - Question (21 Nov 2022)

Baroness Neville-Rolfe: ...in public life and need to pay office and staff costs in support of that. Sometimes, things change. The arrangements referred to were extended to a colleague of the noble Lord, Lord Rennard, Sir Nick Clegg, who was Deputy Prime Minister from 2010 to 2015, a unique status at that time. He claimed £444,000 before he left to become a highly paid Silicon Valley executive and lobbyist.

Economy: The Growth Plan 2022 - Motion to Take Note (10 Oct 2022)

Lord Lilley: ...than importing LNG. If anyone needs to apologise for our present shortage of secure, affordable energy, it is those who objected to nuclear because it would not come on stream until 2021, to quote Nick Clegg, and who supported frankly scaremongering arguments to stop us exploiting such shale reserves as we have.
