Surveillance Camera Code of Practice - Motion to Regret ( 2 Feb 2022)

Lord Clement-Jones: My Lords, I have raised the subject of live facial recognition many times in this House and elsewhere, most recently last November, in connection with its deployment in schools. Following an incredibly brief consultation exercise, timed to coincide with the height of the summer holidays last year, the Government laid an updated Surveillance Camera Code of Practice, pursuant to the Protection...

Health and Care Bill - Committee (7th Day) (Continued): Amendment 236 (31 Jan 2022)

Baroness Walmsley: My Lords, numerous reports from Select Committees of your Lordships’ House have recommended that the NHS and care system do things differently in order to use resources efficiently while providing better care and independence for patients. It is well known that most of us cost the NHS more as we get older, particularly if we have multiple morbidities. This is why the Government launched the...

Biometrics Commissioner and Forensic Science Regulator — [Dr Rupa Huq in the Chair] (20 Jan 2022)

Kit Malthouse: I will come on to that in a moment. I just want to address the question of a legal framework. There is already a comprehensive legal framework around the operation of this technology. As Members will know, it has been tested through the courts. The police have broad common-law powers around the detection and investigation of crimes, including the use of technology, but there are other bits of...

Health and Care Bill - Committee (2nd Day) (Continued): Amendment 15 (13 Jan 2022)

Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle: My Lords, it may not surprise your Lordships’ House that as a Green Peer, I rise to offer my full support to all these amendments. I also declare my involvement with Peers for the Planet. In introducing this group so comprehensively and, I would say, brilliantly, the noble Baroness, Lady Hayman, said it was just important as the group that we were discussing previously, which addressed...

Advanced Research and Invention Agency Bill - Third Reading: Motion (10 Jan 2022)

Lord Callanan: My Lords, it is my great pleasure to thank all those who have supported the progress of this Bill. I first thank my Whip, my noble friend Lady Bloomfield, who is currently demonstrating just how good she is at multi-tasking because she is in Grand Committee supervising another piece of legislation going through. It is always a joy to work alongside her with her support, capability and good...

Advanced Research and Invention Agency Bill - Report: Amendment 5 (to Amendment 4) (14 Dec 2021)

Lord Oates: My Lords, I rise to support Amendments 4 and 19 in the names of the noble Lords, Lord Ravensdale and Lord Browne of Ladyton, the noble Baroness, Lady Chapman of Darlington, and myself. I commend the noble Lord, Lord Ravensdale, in particular for his tireless work on this issue. I too join in the tributes to the noble Lord, Lord Broers, and wish him well in his retirement. I also have some...

Advanced Research and Invention Agency Bill - Report: Amendment 1 (14 Dec 2021)

Lord Clement-Jones: My Lords, I am largely going to speak to and support Amendment 1. I commend the noble Lord, Lord Browne, for raising these important issues on the question of ARIA’s ability to impose investment conditions. Unlike the noble Baroness, Lady Neville-Rolfe, I do not see those as bureaucratic constraints. One key issue in delivering technology into the market in this country is the...

Energy: Civil Nuclear Power - Motion to Take Note ( 9 Dec 2021)

Lord Broers: My Lords, I congratulate the noble Lord, Lord Howell, and the noble Viscount, Lord Hanworth, on their excellent speeches. It is now accepted that the relentless increase of CO2 in the atmosphere is a serious problem that needs urgently to be stopped because the greenhouse heating effect that it causes results in sea-level rise and climate changes that are intolerable. To do this, we must...

Telecommunications (Security) Bill - Commons Reasons: Motion A (15 Nov 2021)

Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay: My Lords, I certainly hear the disappointment and perhaps, as the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, said, even the indignation of his noble friend Lord Fox, in his absence. I am sure that if the noble Lord, Lord Alton of Liverpool, who is not able to be with us today, were here he would have had something to say as well. However, I hope to be able to reassure all noble Lords that the...

Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill - Committee (5th Day) (Continued): Amendment 132B ( 3 Nov 2021)

Baroness Williams of Trafford: I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Chakrabarti, and the noble Lord, Lord Hain, for setting out their case for this amendment. I can do no better than echo the comments of the noble Lord, Lord Paddick, on heli-tele, which were absolutely to the point. I think the Committee is generally referring to some of the new, emerging technologies and the framework around them. I have done quite a lot of...

Advanced Research and Invention Agency Bill - Second Reading ( 2 Nov 2021)

Lord Fox: My Lords, this debate has benefited from all the speakers knowing what they are talking about—I think this is the point at which that ends. It is a difficult debate to seek to summate, but before I try, I shall make a couple of general points. The first is about funding. As my noble friend Lord Clement-Jones said, the Government have pushed their science spending back by two years and down...

NHS Allergy Services (29 Oct 2021)

Jon Cruddas: I rise to make a series of points about improving allergy services in the UK and to speak in support of numerous recommendations made this week by the all-party parliamentary group on allergy and the National Allergy Strategy Group in their report, “Meeting the challenges of the National Allergy Crisis”. I will begin on a positive note and say how much the allergy community appreciated...

Telecommunications (Security) Bill - Report: Amendment 10 (19 Oct 2021)

Lord Coaker: In moving Amendment 10 I will also speak to Amendment 11 in the names of the noble Lords, Lord Alton, Lord Blencathra and Lord Fox, to which I have also put my name. Amendment 10 seeks to future-proof the Bill. It strengthens the bonds with our international partners, ensures horizon-scanning and provides security and resilience in the long term. It again pushes the Government on a long-term...

Inequalities of Region and Place - Motion to Take Note (14 Oct 2021)

Viscount Stansgate: My Lords, I rise today to make my maiden speech. I hope the House will allow me to record with appreciation what a warm welcome I have received from Members and staff alike on all sides of the House. I know I have much to learn from you all. When I was very young, my grandfather told me that one of the characteristics of this House was the “almost intolerable good will”. I hope to benefit...

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

Lord True: My Lords, first, I thank my noble friend Lord Norton of Louth for bringing us here again, as the noble Baroness opposite said, on a Thursday afternoon. I said just before the Summer Recess that I did not know what I had done to the Chief Whip for him to put me on to answer the last debate before the recess—and here I am again, so perhaps I should see that as a bit of useful training. Of...

Covid-19: Immunology Research — [Dr Rupa Huq in the Chair] ( 9 Sep 2021)

Jim Shannon: I beg to move, That this House has considered the role of immunology research in responding to the covid-19 outbreak. Thank you for calling me to speak, Dr Huq. I thank the Backbench Business Committee for allowing me the opportunity to highlight one of the many successes for this nation. Unlike yesterday, the Minister will have an easy ride in responding to my comments, and hopefully to the...

Covid-19: Contracts and Public Inquiry ( 7 Jul 2021)

Penny Mordaunt: I thank all Members who have spoken in the debate and I associate myself with the remarks and the tributes that have been paid to all those who have lost their lives, and the incredible work that so many have done to help in the pandemic. I was particularly moved by the story of the twin brother of my hon. Friend the Member for Bury South (Christian Wakeford). My twin brother started the...

UK Foreign Aid Programme - Motion to Take Note ( 1 Jul 2021)

Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay: My Lords, I congratulate the noble Lord, Lord Fowler, on securing this debate and on the powerful and important choice of subject for his first debate from the Cross Benches. He has, of course, a long-standing personal interest and a strong track record in this area, but even if he did not have that personal experience, he would have heard many times from the Woolsack the strength of feeling...

Telecommunications (Security) Bill - Second Reading (29 Jun 2021)

Baroness Merron: My Lords, new technologies have long transformed the way we work, live and travel, but our experiences during the pandemic have upped the ante on the degree to which we rely on telecommunications networks. Today we have heard an enlightening and probing debate in which noble Lords have considered the number one priority of any Government: our national security. The risk we face is as...

Environment Bill - Committee (2nd Day): Amendment 20 (23 Jun 2021)

Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park: I thank noble Lords for their contributions on this important subject. I start by saying, as a number of noble Lords have, that the death of Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah was an absolute tragedy. I pay tribute to her family and friends, particularly her mother, who have all campaigned so tirelessly on this issue and continue to do so. Turning to Amendment 20, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Jones...
