Cannabis (7 May 2008)

Baroness Masham of Ilton: My Lords, the Minister will not be aware of this but when the announcement by the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, was made, I said how unwise it would be to downgrade strong cannabis.

This is a serious matter and I hope that the Minister will set that...

Hospital-acquired Infections (1 Dec 2004)

Baroness Masham of Ilton: .... As most of the people doing this work come from all parts of the world, it should be seen that they fully understand.

Hunting Bill (12 Oct 2004)

Baroness Masham of Ilton: ...a burglar alarm, which we had even before the first theft. As it is, we do not have enough police in rural areas. The thought of making law-abiding, country people into criminals for the sake of hunting and making the police enemies of the very people who can help them fight rural crime is a very serious aspect of the whole saga. I ask the Minister: what do the police think of this Hunting...

Animal Carcasses: Disposal (19 Mar 2003)

Baroness Masham of Ilton: My Lords, I, too, declare an interest as I have a farm. Does the Minister agree that hunt kennels do a useful job in this respect, even though it is very expensive if they collect carcasses? They charge about £50 to £70 per animal if they collect. Does he also agree that on-farm burning is not allowed under the regulation?
