Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill: Committee (6th Day)(Continued) (12 Oct 2009)

Lord Addington: I thank the noble Lord for that response and the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, for his support. This is something of a first. I do not think that I and my noble friend have ever been mistaken for each other before. However, it is nice to hear something new. I appreciate the noble Lord's response. There is fear in this regard. I hope that he does not take this in the wrong spirit but we need to look...

Community Amateur Sports Clubs (Support) Bill [HL]: Second Reading (8 May 2009)

Lord Addington: ..., but as we have proved and as was pointed out in the last debate, the cycle is a cycle and we will come out of it. We should also take on board the fact that running clubs helps certain people in employment hunting. Surely we could say that this is something we missed. I am sure it was the law of unintended consequences. Surely we can turn round and change this. Making sure that we get...

Railways: Investment — Statement (12 Feb 2009)

Lord Addington: My Lords, I intervene only to ask the Minister if he can give me an assurance. In my experience serving on the Merits Committee—this is something that the noble Lord, Lord Hunt raised—there was a steady stream of statutory instruments allowing dispensation for not reaching the standards for disability access in screens, announcements, loos and other things to make them disability...

Health: Sports Medicine (4 Jun 2007)

Lord Addington: ...has nothing to do with the Department of Health. The silos between the departments are starting to break down but each department regards sport as not being in its bailiwick. The noble Lord, Lord Hunt, basically agreed with me that bringing in sports medicine is almost a no-brainer, if you like—I doubt whether that was the parliamentary expression used—because it is part of the...

Disability Discrimination Bill [HL] (3 Feb 2005)

Lord Addington: ...going on. Amendment No. 25 might have stood by itself. It states that there should be an annual report to Parliament. I hate to go back to the Merits Committee again, as the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, is not in his place. In that committee, it is okay to get an individual exemption—that is a one-off—but two means you are getting to a problem. If you have three, four or five, that...

Rail Vehicle Accessibility (South West Trains Class 458 Vehicles) Exemption (Amendment) Order 2004 (11 Oct 2004)

Lord Addington: ...in a wheelchair. Then the third order came up within the space of a couple of months. I said to myself that this was happening too often. Then, before I opened my mouth, the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, in his capacity as chairman said that this should not happen, it is too frequent, it is occurring on a regular basis and we should not be allowing it to happen, at least not without notice being...

Women in Sport (21 Jan 2004)

Lord Addington: ...until the next world cup or five nations tournament. Rugby union does much better than many other sports. If one takes on this culture, which is dominated by football and racing—national hunt or flat, depending on the season—it is not surprising that female sport is squeezed out. We must try to encourage the media to pay attention to the sports that are going on week in, week...

Hunting Bill (28 Oct 2003)

Lord Addington: How many times in our history have we hunted to extinction?

Autism (25 Mar 2002)

Lord Addington: ...ignorance; different assumptions that it has been dealt with; a lack of comprehension of the ongoing problem outside certain spheres—it is all there. We repeat ourselves. The noble Lord, Lord Hunt, is one of around four Ministers who could be responding to this debate. Education has already been dealt with. Works and pensions certainly have a part to play in this topic. We can even...
