Former Conservative Peer (30 Nov 1990 – 13 Jun 2017)
Natalie Elphicke: ...my right hon. Friend for giving way, and for the pragmatic approach that the Government have taken in this very complex area. In my constituency of Dover and Deal, we have a failed development—Sunningdale homes—and a long-standing problem with Persimmon Homes in relation to Sholden. Both situations relate to the lack of adoption by local authorities, and to service charges and other...
Colum Eastwood: That is astonishing, given the fact that we had the Sunningdale agreement, where we had people working in those institutions. They were brought down, frankly, by people associated with the right hon. Gentleman’s political party and other Unionists. That accusation thrown at the Social Democratic and Labour party for not wanting to make institutions work is coming from someone who walked...
Mike Nesbitt: ..., the first Minister of Education, Lord Londonderry, wanted a single education system. Every Ulster Unionist Education Minister up to the last one, Basil McIvor, the Minister of Education in the Sunningdale power-sharing Executive in 1973, wanted a single system. If the electorate ever give us the votes that allow us to take the Department of Education again, we will again promote a single...
Nichola Mallon: ...to the political creed that the people of this island are better served when we set aside our differences and work together in our common interests. As a member of the power-sharing Executive at Sunningdale, Austin retains the distinction of being the only Minister to serve in Government, North and South. He understood the need to exercise power in the interests of the people whom we...
Empty Site: Sunningdale, Ballysillan Road
Jon Trickett: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many of the (a) 103 apartments for people over 55 and (b) 168 new homes scheduled to be built on the former Government Civil Service College site at Sunningdale Park will be classed as affordable housing.
Nichola Mallon: ...-sharing Assembly. It is no exaggeration to say that, without him and his influence, we would not be here today and would not be able to extol his virtues in this very Chamber. Séamus was there at Sunningdale in 1973. He was there at the Seanad in 1982. His support for the Anglo-Irish Agreement in 1985 was, correctly, regarded as crucial. If Séamus had not deemed the landmark accord as a...
Oliver Dowden: .... After the 50-day period surplus land holdings are recorded on the publicly accessible Government Property Finder on Gov.uk. The Cabinet Office are currently in the process of sale/disposal of: Sunningdale Park, Ascot - under conditional contract for sale, with imminent completion expected. Once finalised, the department will have no ongoing liabilities for the site.
Lord Adonis: ...the island of Ireland is, despite the complacency of the noble Lord, Lord Forsyth, very serious—potentially the most serious failure of British public policy in Ireland since the collapse of the Sunningdale power-sharing agreement in 1974. Boris Johnson complained last week that Northern Ireland was, “the tail wagging the dog”, of Brexit. This is the most irresponsible statement by a...
Lord Trimble: ...of Northern Ireland, their future and the institutions they create. A long time ago, back in the 1970s, Governments tried to impose an arrangement on the people of Northern Ireland, through the Sunningdale agreement. Another long time ago the Anglo-Irish agreement was made, without reference to the views of the people of Northern Ireland. Both were huge decisions and big mistakes by the...
Lord Howell of Guildford: ..., I was not a member of the Select Committee on European affairs that produced this excellent report but, as the last surviving member of the 1972 Whitelaw mission and a survivor of the 1973-74 Sunningdale agreement, I thought it might be helpful to your Lordships to bring some reflections and memories into the discussion when, as we all know, memory is such a vital part of Irish...
Lord Fowler: My Lords, I also have to notify the House that the noble Baroness, Lady Turner of Camden, and the noble Lord, Lord Wolfson of Sunningdale, yesterday ceased to be Members of the House under Section 2 of the House of Lords Reform Act 2014 by virtue of not attending any proceedings of the House during the Session 2016-17. On behalf of the House, I should like to thank the noble Lords for the...
Mark Durkan: I appreciate the hon. Gentleman’s intervention. While we are making comparisons with the election of 1974, an unforeseen casualty of that election was the Sunningdale agreement. The power-sharing Executive formed in Northern Ireland out of the 1973 Assembly ended up falling as a consequence of the 1974 general election because of what was seen to be the balance of forces. Of course, this...
Lord Howell of Guildford: My Lords, I declare two interests as the last surviving member of the Whitelaw commission which led to the Sunningdale agreement in the 1970s and as a long-standing fan of the noble Lord, Lord Alderdice, who in his assessment of the situation in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland speaks for nearly all of us. The only questions for us today are what this has to do with the Bill...
Brandon Lewis: The Home Secretary last visited the College of Policing on 30 November 2016 for its annual conference, held at Sunningdale. The Home Secretary presented a key note speech.
Nicholas Dakin: ...on the grounds of smell, noise, vermin and pollution to planning application WD/2016/1556 which has been submitted to North Lincolnshire Council proposing to build a waste transfer station on Sunningdale Road, Scunthorpe. The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges North Lincolnshire Council to refuse planning application WD/2016/1556, which seeks to build a waste...
Lord Laming: ..., L. 5 Wilson of Dinton, L. 5 York, Abp. 5 Collins of Mapesbury, L. 6 Freyberg, L. 6 Fritchie, B. 6 Guthrie of Craigiebank, L. 6 Williams of Oystermouth, L. 6 Wolfson of Sunningdale, L. 6 Haughey, L. 7 Rogers of Riverside, L. 7 Stevenson of Coddenham, L. 7 Winchester, Bp. 7 Young of Graffham, L. 7 Darzi of Denham, L. 8 Kestenbaum, L. 8 ...
Stewart Dickson: ...with Northern Ireland's recent past of previous devolved structures. Since the dissolution of the old Stormont House of Commons, we have seen the following bodies with these numbers of Members. Sunningdale set up an Assembly of 78 Members. The Assembly of rolling devolution in the early 1980s contained the same number of seats. The Northern Ireland Forum contained 110, but that was a...
