Parliamentary Standards Bill: Report (20 Jul 2009)

Lord Tyler: ...a confrontation rather than a careful consideration of different parts of the process. Secondly, as so much of the eventual architecture—again I pick up the word used by the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Kings Heath—for this new regime will be developed at a secondary level and is not incorporated in the Bill, surely it will require more than the usual oversight of statutory...

Parliamentary Standards Bill: Committee (2nd Day) (16 Jul 2009)

Lord Tyler: ...we are now legislating. In addition, as we are all now only too well aware, a great deal of the architecture, which is a word that has been used on a number of occasions by the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, for this new scheme will be developed at a secondary level—it is not all in place today—without the full scrutiny that we give to a Bill. That detail will follow on. That surely...

Second Reading (Continued) (15 Dec 2008)

Lord Tyler: ...' House—that was not always my experience at the other end of the building—and I was fascinated to hear of the debate in 1853 about the Gulf Stream referred to by the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Chesterton—I must get the right Lord Hunt. That debate may not have examined the issue that I, living down in the far wild west of the United Kingdom, worry about because I have been...

Pre-legislative Scrutiny (16 Jul 2008)

Lord Tyler: ...process if we are putting them under that pressure. In addition, we should recognise that one of the huge values of pre-legislative scrutiny is that we take evidence. As the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Chesterton, said, it is extremely important that we take evidence from outwith the parliamentary estate on important issues that we address. I note, for example, that when the Joint Committee...

House of Lords: Reform (19 Jul 2007)

Lord Tyler: ...exclusively seek solutions at one end of the building that may exclude those from the other end. I accept that the Minister has a personal interest, but can he give us an assurance that the so-called Hunt report is dead and buried and will not be exhumed? There has been unanimous rejection of various attempts to clip the wings of the present House of Lords, which was killed off effectively...

House of Lords: Reform (13 Mar 2007)

Lord Tyler: ...produced a report advocating greater subservience of the Lords to the wishes of the majority in the Commons—that is, to the Government of the day. The group was led by the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, and included the noble Lords, Lord Campbell-Savours, Lord Hogg and Lord Tomlinson. They were insistent that your Lordships' House should be more sensitive to the views of MPs,...

Business of the House (13 Jan 2005)

Mr Paul Tyler: Will the Leader of the House arrange for the Prime Minister to come to the House early next week to make a statement on the hunt for weapons of mass destruction? He will have noted that overnight the President's spokesperson at the White House said that the Iraq survey group will now officially stand down. The exercise has ended, which clearly demonstrates that the House was given a...

House of Commons Commission (Annual Report) (16 Dec 2004)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...than leaving it with the much maligned men in tights, was never going to be satisfactory, not least because the police failed to act on a clear tip of a likely security breakdown on the day of the hunting incursions. I believe that our staff, who of course cannot speak up on their own behalf, owe us nothing in terms of how they have looked after us. They have often been in difficult, if...

Sessional Orders and Resolutions (3 Nov 2004)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...were, because that would make it much easier for us. I also have great respect for the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, but let us face it: the police made some absurd mistakes on the day of the hunting demonstration. It was their fault that people came into this place disguised as building workers; it was no fault of officers of the House. I take with a pinch of salt the suggestion in...

Business of the House (28 Oct 2004)

Mr Paul Tyler: Among the business just announced is the consideration of Lords amendments. Very extensive Lords amendments seem to be on their way to us, including on the Hunting Bill. Perhaps I can take this opportunity to express sympathy to the Leader of the House for the incident that he faced last night. Frankly, the rational discussion about this issue that I saw reported from the other place is in...

Business of the House (9 Sep 2004)

Mr Paul Tyler: May I turn to an issue that is of real and urgent significance to the countryside and rural communities, in contrast to hunting? May I ask the Leader of the House whether we can have an early statement—preferably next week, but if not, when we return in October—on the Bellwin formula for providing funds to areas devastated by flooding and other natural disasters? I have in mind,...

Business of the House (8 Jul 2004)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...Campbell) received an award from the Leader of the House. They were able to exchange greetings as former Young Liberals. The Leader of the House may wish to give us some information about the hunting Bill and his further plans. Has he noticed that the hon. Member for West Ham (Mr. Banks), who chairs the Committee responsible, has recently hung a huge picture of a hunt in full cry in the...

Gulf War Veterans (10 Dec 2003)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...are an important part in the development of the problems. I draw the Minister's attention to the questions tabled as long ago as January by his noble Friend Lord Morris of Manchester to Lord Hunt, then Under-Secretary of State for Health. Lord Morris asked about the effect of combining anthrax vaccine with other vaccines. The response was that vaccines are licensed by the Secretary of...

Business of the House (6 Nov 2003)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...in which this place operates? In particular, it is time we had a debate—perhaps on the Adjournment—on the role of the so-called usual channels. In the past, because of associations with hunting and the Whips, the usual channels have been given rather a bad name, and the public may misunderstand their role. However, that role is essential—it is rather like the mysterious...

Business of the House (19 Jun 2003)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...you may want to dispel the nefarious rumour that you wish, outside the Chamber, to be referred to from now on as "Doc Martin". The Leader of the House has given us further information on the Hunting Bill. Will he consider seriously what will happen after the Bill leaves this part of the building and goes to the other place? He will be aware, having fully briefed himself, that the House of...

House of Lords Reform (13 May 2002)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...next general election. Will he take this opportunity to dispel the mischievous rumour that the Government believe that it is impossible to take both legislation on House of Lords reform and an anti-hunting Bill through both Houses? That could be a major problem. Does the right hon. Gentleman accept that even if the Joint Committee is permitted to consider transitional arrangements—he...

Oral Answers to Questions — Privy Council: House of Lords Reform (19 Mar 2002)

Mr Paul Tyler: Does the Leader of the House consider that the outcome of this evening's vote on hunting in the other place could affect the time scale for House of Lords reform? Have the discussions to which he referred dealt with the way in which the Parliament Act could be employed in such circumstances?

Rail Passenger Services: Lords Amendments and Messages (27 Feb 2001)

Mr Paul Tyler: ...part of the afternoon, we would be discussing the timing of the debate that would take place later. He asked what the subject of the later debate was, and I had to admit to him that it was the Hunting Bill. Whatever one's personal views, no one can pretend that the House of Commons is doing its duty by the countryside, the rural community and all the people—
