Financial Risk Checks for Gambling — [Sir Edward Leigh in the Chair] (26 Feb 2024)

George Freeman: ...an industry based on one race a year. The reason we can have the Derby is that we have all the other races that build up to it, and it is the same with the grand national. Those two races are the pinnacles of great pyramids of activity that start at small, windy tracks all around the country. Also, horses cannot just be parked for 364 days a year and then asked to run; the training and the...

Backbench Business: Easter Adjournment (30 Mar 2023)

Chris Stephens: ...time, which meant 47 press releases during the recess in the Southend newspapers. I even found myself in those newspapers through one of my exchanges with Sir David, which is probably one of the pinnacles of my parliamentary career so far. I thank everyone else who has contributed. A couple of issues have leapt out for me. The hon. Member for Hackney South and Shoreditch (Dame Meg...

Prime Minister: Engagements ( 8 Feb 2023)

Shailesh Vara: Burghley House in my constituency is bidding to host the world eventing championships in 2026. This event is one of the pinnacles of the sport and, if we are successful in our bid, it will provide a massive boost to the local economy and massive coverage for the UK on the global scene. Burghley has a formidable track record of success, having previously hosted two world championships and six...

Cathedrals Measure - Motion to Direct (22 Apr 2021)

Baroness Sherlock: ...was full of people like me who love cathedrals. Indeed, our report describes them as “spectacular and wonderful expressions of the mission of God in His world.” So many of them are among the pinnacles of our architectural and cultural heritage. They are at the heart of their communities, hosting wonderful worship but also everything from graduations to art installations and now...

11. Debate: The Programme for Government Annual Report and Legislative Programme ( 9 Feb 2021)

Mick Antoniw: ...in terms of jobs, zero-hours contracts, bogus self-employment and austerity for working people. So, the social partnership Bill, which is going to go out for consultation, I think is one of the pinnacles of the legislative programme of this Government. It really enables us to almost implement a future generations legislation for working people, for workplaces to establish ethical standards...

Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2020)

Sam Tarry: ...club and even Pioneer Point in central Ilford, towering above what once housed Pioneer market. However, it is a skyline that tells only half the story, for beneath the majesty and the gleaming pinnacles lie the destitute, the homeless and the drug addicts—and, sadly, in far greater numbers than when I was a young man watching the world out of the 364 bus window. There are so many more...

Brexit: Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration - Motion to Take Note (1st Day) (Continued) ( 5 Dec 2018)

Lord Howard of Lympne: ...role was of great significance, otherwise they would not have gone to the lengths of inserting so many provisions relating to the panel of arbitrators into the agreement. I have never attained the pinnacles of judicial and legal expertise possessed by those Members of your Lordships’ House who are entitled to be called “learned”. However, I did practise at the Bar for 21 years, and...

Russia - Question for Short Debate (29 Jan 2018)

the Earl of Cork and Orrery: ..., as a command economy, to take centralised decisions quickly and act upon them. It believes that its diplomatic initiatives, backed by limited military force, will assist its climb towards the pinnacles of respect that it seeks. It has embarked on modernisation of its armed forces, although it is hard to see how it appears to have achieved so much in so short a time without spending far...

Education and Adoption Bill (22 Jun 2015)

Flick Drummond: ...wanted to shut down the school, which is in an area of great deprivation, but fortunately the old head teacher saw its potential and brought in Ark Schools, which I consider to be one of the pinnacles of academy provision. I am pleased to learn that it has recently taken on some primary schools in Portsmouth as well. I recently visited Ark Ayrton with my hon. Friend the Minister for...

Trade and Investment — Motion to Take Note (15 Jun 2015)

Lord Bilimoria: .... I could go on. Automobiles are just one example. Hitachi recently announced that it planned to move its rail business headquarters from Japan to the UK. Companies from Japan, India, Germany—pinnacles of high-tech manufacturing—are moving to the UK. This is fantastic and brings more jobs over here. Not enough has been said about partnering. Last year, we were told the amazing news...

New Member: National Health Service (Amended Duties and Powers) Bill (21 Nov 2014)

Dennis Skinner: ..., and another way of putting it is as follows: we dragged the national health service, between 1997 and 2010, from the depths of degradation that the Tories left it in and hoisted it back to the pinnacles of achievement. I have got a united nations heart bypass to prove it—it was done by a Syrian cardiologist, a Malaysian surgeon, a Dutch doctor and a Nigerian registrar, and these two...

Employment — Motion to Take Note (20 Mar 2014)

Lord Bilimoria: ...success. We have already heard that Hitachi is to move its rail business headquarters from Japan to the UK, and that Bentley is to move from Germany to the UK. Companies from Japan and Germany, the pinnacles of high-tech manufacturing, are moving to the UK. This is fantastic. Hitachi says its move will expand the number of rail jobs to 4,000, which is excellent. I have already mentioned...

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: House of Lords Reform (27 Jun 2011)

Julian Lewis: ...the average level of the same qualities in the other House, but the fact remains that those of us who chose in our 30s or 40s to become professional politicians gave up the chance of reaching the pinnacles of expertise that we might have reached if we followed other careers. If we make the proposed change, we will find that people who reach the pinnacles of their profession will no longer...

Religious Education (17 May 2011)

Anne Main: ...ought to be put back into it. By leaving it out of the baccalaureate as an option, we are continuing to give it a “sums” title of study. We should be saying that the subject is one of the pinnacles of university study, but it is increasingly not a university course of choice. With that comes the shuttered approach that we get in many of our town centres. Once a town centre is...

Health and Social Care Bill (31 Jan 2011)

Dennis Skinner: Why on earth should the health service be changed? We had 13 years. We dragged the health service from the depths of degradation and hoisted it to the pinnacles of achievement. There was £33 billion in 1997; we increased that to £110 billion. All those miners in my constituency and that of my right hon. Friend who wanted those knees or hips replaced-they have all been done, after waiting...

Political Parties: Funding — Question ( 1 Jul 2010)

Lord McNally: ...detail in the Bill about the responsibility of party treasurers at local level. The debate was couched in terms that would lead one to think that being a treasurer for a local party was one of the pinnacles of political achievement, whereas, as everyone in this Chamber who has been active in party politics knows, you look for some poor dumb cluck-as the noble Lord, Lord Kinnock, helpfully...

Economy — Debate ( 7 May 2009)

Lord Marlesford: ...helped to save Britain, let alone the world. Unfortunately, the Government have not had the benefit of the noble Lord, Lord Myners, for very long. It was only in October that he was lured from the pinnacles of the private sector on to the middle rungs of the ministerial ladder. What is needed now is a firm strategy which takes advantage of the crisis to move forward. It seems to me that...

European Union (Amendment) Bill ( 1 Apr 2008)

Earl Ferrers: ...part is a witness to that. People on all sides feel strongly about this matter, and points have been made with great clarity and courtesy. I am afraid that my observations will not rise to the pinnacles of erudition that have been obvious in the various points that other noble Lords have made. I thought that I had better find out about the Bill, so I went to the Printed Paper Office and...

Standards and Privileges (23 Jul 2007)

George Galloway: ...Parliament, even though I never managed to catch your eye, Mr. Speaker, or that of any other previous Speaker, in order to be appointed to one. Despite my areas of expertise, I never reached those pinnacles. I respect the Standards and Privileges Committee, but that does not mean that I can honestly tell you that I respect every person currently in the Parliament. It cannot mean that I...
