European Union (Amendment) Bill (9 Jun 2008)

Lord Maclennan of Rogart: ...are fortified by party allegiances or even stem from party allegiances; it has been a debate in which views have been advanced and modified. I suggest with great humility to the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, that he should modify the view that he expressed by listening to the views expressed by several members of his committee, which I believe were profoundly persuasive. I refer to the views of...

European Union (Amendment) Bill (29 Apr 2008)

Lord Maclennan of Rogart: ...will be brought under control with the new proposed disposition than that which has relied on the judgment of the Council of Ministers. Indeed, it is strange to hear the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Wirral, suggest that a movement towards greater democracy, in giving the European Parliament more parity of influence in both compulsory and non-compulsory expenditure, is unwelcome. That is...

Legal Services Bill [HL] (6 Feb 2007)

Lord Maclennan of Rogart: ...Bill. This is not the first time that we have addressed these questions, so the fact that they will be reconsidered again does not reassure me, when the committee over which the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, presided recommended that explicit language was needed—not just a ministerial assurance about broad objectives, not something encompassed in the broad objectives spelt out in Clause 1,...

Legal Services Bill [HL] (22 Jan 2007)

Lord Maclennan of Rogart: ...by Sir David Clementi for advancing the regulation of legal services were properly debated within that study and were subsequently considered by the Joint Committee, of which the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, was the distinguished chairman, while the Government themselves have lent support to the second role for the regulator, the Legal Services Board. It is remarkable that this is not clearly...

Legal Services Bill [HL] (6 Dec 2006)

Lord Maclennan of Rogart: .... The remarkable thing about the Bill—it is in some ways historic—is the detailed pre-legislative consideration that it has been given by the committee chaired by the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Wirral. Candidly, I doubt that our parliamentary procedures are apt to deal with a Bill of such detail, complexity and size as effectively as has been done in this instance by the...

Civil Service: Specialists (16 Feb 2006)

Lord Maclennan of Rogart: My Lords, in a statement in October, Sir Brian Bender, who, I understand, is the head of the profession for policy and delivery, to which the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, was referring—indicated that there was a need to get away from the notion of generalists. Is it the Government's general view that there is to some extent a shortage of the specialists required?

Criminal Justice Bill (15 Jul 2003)

Lord Maclennan of Rogart: ...Wedgwood from a charge of driving without due care and attention. That certainly cannot be said to qualify me to speak as a lawyer but, nonetheless, I speak in support of what the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, said about there being cause for pause. It is not the first time that we in Parliament have had before us proposals to do away with jury trial in long and complex cases. I remember the...

Atomic Energy Authority Bill (14 Mar 1995)

Mr Robert Maclennan: ...whatever on Sir Anthony, but the connection is noted and it inevitably raises questions. It raises similar questions to those raised about the new director of Dounreay, whose association with Hunting-BRAE has also been noted. Questions have been asked about whether he is fattening up his new charge for the picking by someone else with whom he was associated in former commercial activities.

Orders of the Day — Criminal Justice and Public Order Bill: Offence of Aggravated Trespass (13 Apr 1994)

Mr Robert Maclennan: The hon. Member for Thanet, North (Mr. Gale) made some remarks about my hon. Friends. It follows the tradition of the House on matters such as hunting that votes are cast on an individual basis rather than on a party line. His attempt to turn the matter into a party issue in referring to the attitude of Liberal Democrats was peculiar and inapposite in the light of the division within his own...

Orders of the Day — Criminal Justice and Public Order Bill (11 Jan 1994)

Mr Robert Maclennan: ...to prove the unprovable? Or are we to continue to leave it to the prosecution to prove that he was not at home but out thieving? The Bill also contains a number of curious innovations intended to deal with hunt saboteurs and rave parties. Conservative Home Secretaries are generally drawn from the school of thought that holds that most social evils can be purged by creating a new offence....

Common Fisheries Policy (31 Jan 1983)

Mr Robert Maclennan: ...must and will make a major contribution. That is a prime need, but the Minister has never shown his awareness of it. The industry always has to rely upon limited stocks. Traditionally it is a hunting industry. It is important to do more about stock enhancement. We must do more about experimentation, not only with flat fish but with the breeding of fish, such as cod. The Norwegians are...

Oral Answers to Questions — Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (21 Jun 1979)

Mr Robert Maclennan: In view of the pressure from Government Back Benchers, especially from the hon. Member for Ravensbourne (Mr. Hunt), for a Minister for London, will the right hon. Gentleman include the subject of devolution to England and London on the agenda for the inter-party talks?

Orders of the Day — Beatrice Oilfield (19 Jun 1979)

Mr Robert Maclennan: ... Apparently there is also an imminent prospect that P. & O. will sell its 15 per cent. stake to BP, the remaining stakeholders being Kerr McGee with 25 per cent., Deminex with 22 per cent., and Hunt Oil with 10 per cent. Since the Beatrice field was first discovered there has been a lively and legiti mate interest in my constituency in the arrangements for its exploitation. Lying so...
