European Court of Human Rights - Question (25 Oct 2023)

Lord Morgan: My Lords—amazing! There were no interruptions. I very strongly support the Question asked by my noble friend Lord Foulkes, who is in effect asking the British Government to obey the law made by Conservative Governments of which the Prime Minister was Sir Winston Churchill. Is not it extraordinary that Cabinet Ministers are flouting the law and, in effect, forcing their own Government to...

Land Use in England Committee Report - Motion to Take Note (25 Jul 2023)

Lord Morgan: I am sorry to interrupt but, as a point of information, the Labour Party did not propose to nationalise land after 1935.

Higher Education: Arts and Humanities - Question (28 Jun 2023)

Lord Morgan: My Lords, this is a sad and very tragic event for the University of East Anglia, where I had the great pleasure of lecturing at one time—the time of our beloved friend Patricia Hollis. It is bad news for a distinguished department at a good university. It is also showing a very limited appreciation, both by the Government and by the funding councils, of the balance and way of assessing the...

Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill - Report (2nd Day): Amendment 114A (26 Jun 2023)

Lord Morgan: My Lords, I intervene not as an Irish person but as someone who comes from another Celtic country, which has found another way of dealing with potential and actual terrorism, and that is called political democracy. It has been a terrible thing that, throughout so much of modern Irish history, the tendency has been to equate democratic practices and human rights with one side and not with...

Scotland: Meeting with New First Minister - Question (29 Mar 2023)

Lord Morgan: My Lords, the imprecision of the replies that we have heard indicates how poorly prepared the Government are to implicitly embrace devolution in the processes of government. We would have heard similar remarks if we had been hearing about the Secretary of State for Wales in his connection with the British Government. Are we not in danger of the Conservative and Unionist Party turning into the...

Public Order Bill - Commons Amendments and Reason: Motion A1 (as an amendment to Motion A) (28 Mar 2023)

Lord Morgan: My Lords, I had not intended to intervene in this fascinating discussion, but I will make one point and one point only. We are talking about the possible dangers of stop and search. We have every opportunity of examining what is happening right now, not in this country—although we would if we proceeded with this Bill—but in France. In France, the use of extreme stop and search by an...

International Higher Education Students - Question (21 Mar 2023)

Lord Morgan: I am deeply grateful to the House for its delayed courtesy. It is surely lamentable that the number of university students from, particularly, European universities, has declined in department after department. I know from my experience how enormously enriching the Erasmus scheme, for example, was. It was invented by a fellow Welshman, Hywel Ceri Jones, and we are deeply grateful for it....

Universities: Impact of Industrial Action on Students - Question (16 Mar 2023)

Lord Morgan: My Lords, I became a university teacher in 1958 and I have never been on strike for a single day in that period, nor would I. However, throughout that long period, university teachers have been underpaid. There are difficulties now about their contracts, which was not the case earlier, in particular the use of younger, untrained teachers in a way that imperils jobs. Could one not give more...

Devolved Budget for Wales: Inflation - Question (15 Mar 2023)

Lord Morgan: My Lords, is it not the case that Wales has been inadequately funded under both Labour and Conservative Governments? Many reports have been debated in your Lordships’ House. I recall the noble Lord, Lord Forsyth, saying how inadequate it is. The Barnett formula is a fraud; it seriously underfunds Wales. Furthermore, Wales in any case suffers from long-term problems in matters such as...

Devolved Budget for Wales: Inflation - Question (15 Mar 2023)

Lord Morgan: My Lords, the noble Baroness mentioned the Barnett formula in terms of great approval. How does one reconcile that with the view of Lord Barnett about his own formula when he said he was deeply ashamed of it? Why are the Government not equally ashamed?

Domestic Abuse: Defence for Victims who Commit an Offence - Question (21 Feb 2023)

Lord Morgan: It is a privilege for a Back-Bencher to be allowed to speak. One of the important bodies that takes a keen interest in this area and gathers a great deal of evidence is Victim Support. Can the Minister kindly tell us what kind of relationship or connection the Government have with that body?

Levelling Up: Funding Allocation - Question (23 Jan 2023)

Lord Morgan: My Lords, is the problem here not so much a social one as a constitutional one? Is it not, in fact, an abuse of the power of prerogative that Governments should hand out money in this party-political way, a way that is not transparent?

Wales: Additional Financial Resources - Question (18 Jan 2023)

Lord Morgan: My Lords, in addition to the excellent financial points that have been made on both sides of the House, would the Welsh Labour Government not benefit from having greater powers, of the kind of “devo-max” proposed in Gordon Brown’s excellent proposals on the constitutional settlement?

Education: Philosophy - Question ( 1 Nov 2022)

Lord Morgan: My Lords, is it not significant that philosophy is a compulsory subject in French lycée and the basic structures of French education? Is that not reflected in the different levels of public service in both countries? I declare an interest: my wife is French.

Human Rights Act 1998 - Motion to Take Note (14 Jul 2022)

Lord Morgan: My Lords, like I think every previous speaker in the debate, I regard the repeal of our Human Rights Act as a backward and indeed reactionary step which would greatly harm this country. Only one other country in Europe, Belarus, has hitherto repealed human rights legislation, and I do not think we particularly want to keep company like that. It is worth pointing out, as have various other...
