Serious Crime Bill [HL] (7 Feb 2007)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...priorities set in London. I am the first to recognise that, in general, SOCA's more intelligence-led approach could offer a solid fit with asset recovery. SOCA has made it clear that it wants the hunt for criminal profits to be central to how it operates. That can only be good news. What we need from this merger is synergy, not a culture clash. In conclusion, it is obvious that serious...

Debate on the Address (23 Nov 2006)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...continue to consider how we can work with the Government to improve the Bill if that is possible. When the Bill reaches this House, which I understand will be before Christmas, my noble friend Lord Hunt of Wirral will lead on it for us. With the Fraud (Trials without a Jury) Bill, the Government are yet again seeking to persuade Parliament to abolish jury trial in certain fraud cases. We...

Police and Justice Bill (9 Oct 2006)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: .... What offences could come within their range in the future? If the Home Secretary is now ruling out violent offences, what will be on the list? Will it include possession of cannabis, illegal hunting or all types of theft up to a value of £100? What will we see and when will Parliament see those plans? Is it to be in primary or secondary legislation? The Times report implied that it...

Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill (14 Mar 2005)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...do need to address. I come now to the most contentious issue in the Bill—the new offence of hatred of persons on religious grounds. I shall outline our concerns now, but my noble friend Lord Hunt of Wirral will lead on this matter for us during all other stages of the Bill. We understand and have considerable sympathy with the Government's aims in trying to prevent religious hatred....

Address in Reply to Her Majesty's Most Gracious Speech (29 Nov 2004)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...weekend, when I looked at the Bill's provisions on trespass and animal rights activists, I wondered whether some of the new powers could also be used by the Government to prevent opponents of the Hunting Act demonstrating outside Ministers' houses or government buildings during the general election. It will be intersting to see how that develops. Demands placed on police officers have...

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...has been charged but not yet convicted should have the right to have their property properly recorded so that it can be reclaimed at the appropriate point. Further than that, my noble friend Lord Hunt of Wirral pointed out last year that proper recording of the evidence can be of great use to the police as well. He said: "Without the obligation to record, there will be disputes as to what...

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...a letter from Judge Alan Wilkie QC, the Law Commissioner, which was circulated to Oliver Letwin, Simon Hughes, the noble Lords, Lord Thomas of Gresford and Lord Dholakia, my noble friend Lord Hunt of Wirral and me. Judge Alan Wilkie's concern was to highlight the view of the Law Commission that its proposals should not be seen in the same contentious light as those that were then under...

Lords Amendment (20 Nov 2003)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: My Lords, it has been a difficult morning for everyone in this House. As my noble friend Lord Hunt said, we had been hoping not to refer to any detail of discussions, in which the noble Baroness has been assiduous in her honesty and openness throughout. However, in outlining the Government's position, the noble Baroness has explained what the Government understood to take place this morning...

Lords Amendment (19 Nov 2003)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...the noble Lord, Lord Monson. We took advice on this from the Clerk at the Table and consulted the Government. We have all received the same advice. That was the reason why my noble friend Lord Hunt referred to Amendment No. 36C being consequential on Amendment No. 34C.

Criminal Justice Bill (17 Nov 2003)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...2—to which, no doubt, the noble Baroness, Lady Harris of Richmond, will speak in a moment—we also welcome the fact that it reflects very fairly the request made by my noble friend Lord Hunt of Wirral in Committee on 30th June.

Commons Amendments (12 Nov 2003)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: My Lords, since the amendments were tabled by my noble friend Lord Hunt of Wirral, it is perhaps appropriate that I should respond first and make clear that although there was of course some disappointment that the Government were going to overturn our position on judicial fees in Amendment No. 11, we have made our view sufficiently clear on previous occasions and it would not be appropriate...

"Reserve Forces Act 1996 (c. 14) (11 Nov 2003)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...person, their honest belief should be sufficient to give them protection. I have one question for the Minister, which is not fatal to our support for their amendment. My noble friend Lord Hunt points out that when he moved his original amendment (at col. 1011 of the Official Report on 15th October 2003), it covered a victim who was a servant or agent of any person falling within the...

"Reserve Forces Act 1996 (c. 14) (11 Nov 2003)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: My Lords, I rise briefly to express the views of my noble friend Lord Hunt of Wirral. He apologises that he has had to leave. As noble Lords are aware, we had anticipated finishing this business slightly earlier. I share my noble friend's views entirely and so I have no problem in relaying them. My noble friend makes the point that we share the Government's determination to deal effectively...

Criminal Justice Bill (5 Nov 2003)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...the noble Lord, Lord Dholakia, are rather different from those that he adduced in his own defence on this amendment. When we debated issues of sentencing in Committee, my noble friend Lord Hunt made it clear—at cols. 1042 to 1045 of the Official Report of 15th October 2003—that we are very concerned that the Government have launched into the proposals on sentencing without...

Royal Security: Windsor Castle (24 Jun 2003)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...in considering this Statement and the event to which it refers, should be to learn the lessons and improve the systems of protection, rather than to satisfy any political or administrative witch-hunt. What lessons have the Government learned about their own responsibilities for the future security of our Royal Family, and more generally of all of us? The Minister says that urgent work is...

Criminal Justice Bill (16 Jun 2003)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...here to pay tribute to all of them. If we start down the route of abandoning jury trial where we fear intimidation, we are on the slippery slope to no jury trial at all. My noble friend Lord Hunt of Wirral will lead us on the issue of jury trial. He will work to build a coalition around the House to remove Part 7 from the Bill in its entirety. There is so much of value in the Bill that it...

Courts Bill [HL] (12 May 2003)

Baroness Anelay of St Johns: ...will get around to spelling out those transitional provisions as a government amendment. The problem is that "eventually" will be too late for this House. Earlier today, my noble friend Lord Hunt made the point that he was not really over-exercised by government amendments arriving late before noble Lords when they are moving in the right direction. This may be moving in the right...

All made it clear that it is vital to have protection of our marine environment and that we need it now....
