Mental Health Services (New Forest) (20 Oct 2009)

Julian Lewis: ...when I was a brand-new Member of the House, I came second in the private Member's Bill ballot. We all know what happened to the person who came first: he chose the important subject of banning fox hunting, a decision with which I happen to disagree. On the Friday when that important Bill was debated, the Chamber was packed. A week or two later came my Bill, the Mental Health (Amendment)...

Point of Order: Defence in the UK (26 Apr 2007)

Julian Lewis: ...Russian state, within our borders. It is worth remembering that in July 2006 the Russian Parliament, the Duma, approved a law permitting the FSB—the Russian state security services—to hunt down and kill terrorists or "enemies of the state" anywhere in the world. That Bill was passed shortly after the abduction and murder of five Russian diplomats in Iraq in 2006, but critics of...

Orders of the Day — Hunting Bill (15 Sep 2004)

Dr Julian Lewis: ...point made by my hon. Friend the Member for North-West Norfolk (Mr. Bellingham), who suggested that there might just be a practical problem to carrying this law into effect? What will happen if a hunt starts out as a drag hunt, but the hounds end up following foxes? Will people be criminalised? Will they be prosecuted? Will they be fined? Will they be imprisoned? If the answer is no, I...

Mental Health (7 May 2003)

Dr Julian Lewis: ...set-up for business of that sort, with a sprinkling of hon. Members in the Chamber. I believe that, just a week earlier, the Member who had been drawn first in the ballot introduced his Bill to ban hunting with dogs. Hon. Members may remember that, on that occasion, the Chamber was heaving with people who were concerned to express their opinion on what is, of course, a very important issue...

Oral Answers to Questions — Deputy Prime Minister: Freedom of Information Act (28 Nov 2001)

Dr Julian Lewis: If the Government are so keen on freedom of information, why is a mole hunt under way to find the identity of the public servant who leaked the existence of Jo Moore's disgraceful e-mail? Will the Minister give an assurance that if that person is found he will be promoted for furthering freedom of information, and not sacked?

Orders of the Day — Wild Mammals (Hunting With Dogs) Bill (7 Apr 2000)

Dr Julian Lewis: There is an analogous problem in the New forest. The ponies graze on the forest and the hunt removes the fallen stock. We have no idea how that task would be performed without the hunt.

Internet (18 Mar 1998)

Dr Julian Lewis: ...that the hon. Member for Ellesmere Port and Neston (Mr. Miller) has generously left me, I should like to refer to the impeccable timing of yesterday's Evening Standard report, headed "Police hunt 15 Internet bombs made by children". The report began: Police are searching for 15 lethal home-made bombs taken home by London schoolchildren. The explosive devices, copied from a design on the...

Orders of the Day — The Economy and European Affairs (20 May 1997)

Dr Julian Lewis: ..., which he represented with great diligence, efficiency, loyalty and faithfulness for nearly 30 years. His motto was, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." That is why the 900-year-old New Forest, a hunting forest, founded by William the Conqueror, retains so much of its marvellous authenticity today. The second person to whom I have the pleasure of paying tribute is my hon. Friend the...
