Armed Forces (Pensions and Compensation) Bill ( 2 Nov 2004)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, I, too, pay tribute to my noble friend for his tenacity. He is a dog who does not let go of his bone very easily. We are continually told that one of the reasons for amalgamating regiments is that recruiting is so bad. When the Government treat the dependents of people who make a career in the Armed Forces in this way, what do they expect? People are not stupid. When people think...

Fisheries: Net Mesh Sizes ( 3 Nov 2004)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, when are we going to withdraw from the common fisheries policy, which is designed to allow the greed of our European partners to destroy our fishing industry? How can the discarding of immature fish, which have not had a chance to breed and which get caught in the 80 millimetre nets, be consistent with conserving fish stocks?

Lords Amendment (17 Nov 2004)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, I should like to congratulate my noble friend on his persistence. I hope that he will not be downhearted at not having his amendment, particularly his Amendment No. 2C, accepted. In my opinion, it was both too little and too late. If it had been accepted, it would have been difficult for him to come back to it again in the near future. As it has not been accepted, he may feel free...

Marine Environment (13 Dec 2004)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, I am most grateful to the noble Baroness for having asked the Question this evening; she has saved me asking one at a later date. The report of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution is a remarkably interesting document. It is well set out and, as a bonus, contains many beautiful photographs of various types of plankton living on the seabed, which are a joy to look at. It...

Infant Death Cases: Attorney-General's Review (21 Dec 2004)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, is the noble and learned Lord aware that an unfortunate side effect has been the propensity of social workers and some doctors to assume the worst when a child is brought in with an injury? When their child injures itself, many parents are now terrified to take it to the doctor, because they are afraid that they will be accused of having battered the child and that the fact of their...

Administration and Works Committee (21 Dec 2004)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, I wholeheartedly support the amendment of the noble Lord, Lord Stoddart, who is usually right in his views. In default of his amendment, I support those of my noble friends Lord Palmer and Lord Monson. I have not smoked for some years, but I spent 40 years of my life kippering all my friends and relations. As a result, I have the greatest sympathy for poor smokers, who are now about...

Prevention of Terrorism Bill ( 3 Mar 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: I have been in two minds about whether to speak to Amendment No. 17, which I tabled, in this group or to speak to it separately next Monday, but I think that it would be best if I get it over with now. Clauses 1(3)(e), (f) and (g) permit the placing under house arrest of persons suspected of terrorism. I have read all the speeches made on Tuesday at Second Reading that I did not hear, and no...

Prevention of Terrorism Bill ( 3 Mar 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: No, it does not satisfy me. I put down that amendment not in order to delete the clauses, but to find out what the arrangements and logistics were for house arrest. I am not satisfied that we should have house arrest unless these matters are taken into consideration. What thought has been given to it, and what arrangements are going to be made? Otherwise, I might want to table another...

Prevention of Terrorism Bill ( 3 Mar 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: Exactly.

Prevention of Terrorism Bill ( 3 Mar 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: Amendment No. 17 stands in my name, but I shall not press it—at least certainly not today. However, I am not happy. It would be far more honest to put a suspect in prison, whatever the Law Lords may say, so that everyone knows where they are. That would be far more honest.

Prevention of Terrorism Bill ( 8 Mar 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: moved Amendment No. 7: After Clause 1, insert the following new Clause— :TITLE3:CONTROL ORDERS: SUPPLEMENTARY (1) If, as a consequence of the obligations imposed by a control order, a person becomes unemployed, arrangements shall be made for that person to receive any social security benefits or unemployment benefits to which he may be entitled. (2) If a control order is made in respect of...

Prevention of Terrorism Bill ( 8 Mar 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, I have listened carefully to what the noble Baroness has said. I am very sorry, but I do not find it particularly satisfactory. I should like to have matters much more cut and dried. I am getting a strong impression of, "Don't worry, it will be all right on the night". Under these circumstances, I should like to have something on the face of the Bill. I beg leave to seek the opinion...

Olympic Games 2012: London Bid and Airport Capacity (10 Mar 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, I was slightly surprised to hear the Minister say that Heathrow is one of the best airports in the world. How often does he have occasion to use it?

Prevention of Terrorism Bill (10 Mar 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: moved, as an amendment to Motion B, Amendment B1: Leave out from "House" to end and insert "do insist on its Amendment No. 6". The noble Lady said: My Lords, before I speak about the amendment, I want to say how disgusted I was to hear the Home Secretary's misleading reference on the "Today" programme yesterday morning, to, "the surreal example of Lady Thatcher going into the Division Lobby...

Prevention of Terrorism Bill (10 Mar 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, before I beg leave to withdraw the amendment, it is of course open—

Prevention of Terrorism Bill (10 Mar 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, I beg to move. Moved, as an amendment to Motion B, Amendment B1, leave out from "House" to end and insert "do insist on its Amendment No. 6".—(Lady Saltoun of Abernethy.)

Prevention of Terrorism Bill (10 Mar 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, before I withdraw the amendment, it is open to any noble Lord in any part of the House, when an amendment is withdrawn, to be Not-Content. I beg leave to withdraw Amendment B1.

Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Bill (22 Mar 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, I support this amendment and I think it is very important. We are promised identity cards capable of holding a lot of information about individuals. Without the safeguards provided in this amendment, I would be very concerned lest confidential taxpayer information finds its way on to any database being used to provide information to be included on identity cards. That is one of the...

Fishery Limits (United Kingdom) Bill [HL] (18 May 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, I beg to introduce a Bill to make provision for the United Kingdom to withdraw from the common fisheries policy of the European Union; to amend the Fishery Limits Act 1976; and for connected purposes. I beg to move that this Bill be now read a first time. Moved, That the Bill be now read a first time.—(Lady Saltoun of Abernethy.) On Question, Bill read a first time, and ordered to...

Fishery Limits (United Kingdom) Bill [HL] (16 Jun 2005)

Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a second time. Looking round this not very crowded and soon to be probably rather empty Chamber, the effect of moving debate day to Thursday becomes very obvious. Last business on a Thursday is about the worst slot it is possible to have, but it was the earliest that I could get. However, I am not dismayed. I introduced this Bill for the...
