Employment: Remuneration - Question ( 8 Sep 2016)

Lord Tebbit: Does my noble friend agree that it might help to bring a different dimension to these discussions if, occasionally, we referred not to the “shareholders” but to the “owners” of businesses and not to the “executives” but to the “hirelings” who operate on behalf of the owners?

Grammar Schools - Private Notice Question ( 7 Sep 2016)

Lord Tebbit: My Lords, does my noble friend recollect that in the great Butler Education Act there was provision for a tripartite system—grammar schools, secondary moderns and technical schools? The failure of successive Governments has been to institute a suitable number of high-quality technical schools. That is one of the reasons why we have lagged behind our rivals in Germany in the provision of a...

Calais: Refugee Children - Question ( 7 Sep 2016)

Lord Tebbit: My Lords, when these unfortunate children come to this country and are given refuge, will they subsequently be joined by their parents, grandparents and wider family, or will we have some system for keeping their parents out? It seems to me that a very large number of people could be involved.

European Union: Regeneration Funding - Question (21 Jul 2016)

Lord Tebbit: My Lords, will my noble friend try to educate some Members of this House on the difference between spending and investing? One is very easy and one is a little more difficult.

It is British taxpayers’ money that has been routed through Brussels with a percentage creamed off to pay for the inefficiencies...

Orgreave: Public Inquiry into Policing - Statement (20 Jul 2016)

Lord Tebbit: My Lords, would my noble friend be so kind as to ensure the Home Secretary remembers at all times that the violence at Orgreave arose because Mr Scargill’s men chose to defy the law on peaceful picketing and sought to prevent other working men going to their work? That was the nub of the whole dispute at Orgreave.

Investigatory Powers Bill - Committee (2nd Day) (13 Jul 2016)

Lord Tebbit: My Lords, I will say just a few brief words. I am not a lawyer but I have held executive authority as a Minister over a number of years. I do not think a judicial review ever found against me, but in those years life was very much simpler. There were three classic tests: was my action, or that of any other authority, ultra vires; was it so unreasonable that no reasonable-minded man could have...

Hate Crime - Question ( 5 Jul 2016)

Lord Tebbit: My Lords, would it not be a good idea if we all took Her Majesty the Queen’s advice and just calmed down a little?

Airports: Runways - Question ( 5 Jul 2016)

Enslaved Africans: National Memorial - Question (28 Jun 2016)

Lord Tebbit: My Lords, does my noble friend recollect—actually, she probably does not—that there was no memorial in London to those who fought in the Battle of Britain until I as chairman, and my good friend Maurice Djanogly as my deputy, raised the funds, which did not include any from the then Government, to erect the memorial that now stands on the Embankment? I hope it will not be thought that one...

Outcome of the EU Referendum - Statement (27 Jun 2016)

Lord Tebbit: My Lords, is my noble friend aware that on Friday morning I woke not only with a song in my heart but with the words of the “Magnificat”— “He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble and the meek”— in my heart, as we had won the referendum? Can she tell me whether the British commissioner, whoever may be appointed, is allowed by the terms of his oath of...

Terrorism: Terminology - Question (27 Jun 2016)

Lord Tebbit: My Lords, nobody in this House is better equipped than the noble Lord to get people to understand that the present version of the Muslim religion arises largely from a dispute within that religion and that it is a gross perversion of the Muslim religion practised in the 13th and 14th centuries, for example. We should all remember that, just as we should all remember that there are very few...
