Dolphins and whales are frequently seen in the bay, and Gibraltar boasts a large nature reserve that is home to more than 200 Barbary apes—the only wild monkeys that can still be found in Europe today. It is said that should the monkeys ever leave, so will the British. Apparently, Sir Winston Churchill took this superstition so seriously that he...

Patrick Mercer: ...had been abstracted from a battalion on operations—one was a mortarman and the other belonged to the battalion's mechanical transport platoon—to serve food dressed in little red monkey jackets, while the battalion was on operations against an enemy abroad.

Ian Gibson: ...get the answer and they might even have to work on a worm to get the answer that they want. In other cases, people want to move up to the clinical situation. There, they have to go through rhesus monkeys and so on. I know that lots of people think that using animals is ethically wrong, but I tell the House this: scientists can be fallible, but they are tightly regulated and have to go...

Baroness Scotland of Asthal: ...that would be regulated by the director's instructions. We have an opportunity to regulate what DCWs do. I understand the comment of the noble Earl, Lord Onslow, about paying peanuts and getting monkeys, but I assure him that DCWs do not fall within that category. Miscarriages of justice occur when the quality of the advocacy is not good.

Amendment of the Law: Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation (18 March 2008)

Jeremy Browne: ...that the Government are painting. The measure of inflation, for example, is totally detached from reality. It is possible that the price of the iPod that the Prime Minister uses to listen to the Arctic Monkeys in the gym in the mornings has fallen in recent months, but pensioners in my constituency see rising fuel costs and soaring shopping bills, and their biggest outlay of all, the...

Andrew Dismore: ...damage or that any damage they may cause is likely to be severe.'" They give the examples of the elephant, which we talked about earlier, in the Bertram Mills' circus, a lion and certain types of monkey.

Amendment of the Law (12 March 2008)

Nicholas Clegg: ...that is a green cop-out. The Chancellor bravely suggests that the problems afflicting our economy were all caused elsewhere. He has to do that; he cannot tell the truth. He cannot blame his boss; a monkey never blames the organ grinder. It is deeply disingenuous to claim, as he did, that a housing market crash in the United States is the main reason for our economic woes. The reality is...

Scottish Parliament: Scots Trad Music Awards (6 February 2008)

Rob Gibson: ...time to be a folk musician. There's a lot of cross-fertilisation across genres, and a different approach to music.

The success of the Scots trad music awards highlights why support and...

Frank Cook: ...we ended up with a resounding no. I seem to recall that Hartlepool and Middlesbrough had referendums on whether they should elect a mayor. They both received yes answers, though the one voted in a monkey and the other a policeman. Stockton had much more sense in its referendum, saying that it did not want an elected mayor anyway. Then there was Scotland, which acquired an Assembly; as did...

Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL] (15 January 2008)

Lord Winston: ...proportion of cells: the inner cell mass that will become the true embryo and the outer cell mass that will become the placenta. Perhaps the nearest model to the human is the primate, and a higher monkey at that—a menstruating monkey. That represents even more of a problem, because even monkeys do not fully represent the human and the notion of doing this kind of work in monkeys...

Business of the House (29 November 2007) has video

Theresa May: ...There are several questions to be answered and the Leader of the House must make a full statement. The Leader of the House, the Prime Minister and the Labour party treasurer are like the three wise monkeys. They see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. Quite simply, it won't wash. The public know sleaze when they see it. The people know spin when they hear it, and the voters will know...
