Constitutional Reform Bill [HL] (20 Dec 2004)

Lord Howie of Troon: My Lords, I am extremely grateful to the noble Viscount for giving way. I am the first non-lawyer to speak and the House will be glad to know that I do not intend to speak about any legal matter of any kind. I rise only because last Thursday the noble and learned Lord, Lord Lloyd, referred to my view of the adequacy of the Middlesex Guildhall as a Supreme Court. He said that I was wrong. I...

Constitutional Reform Bill [HL] (14 Dec 2004)

Litter: Marine Environment (15 Jun 2004)

Lord Howie of Troon: My Lords, I should begin by apologising to the noble Lord, Lord Ezra, who I did not see earlier on, because he was sitting so unusually far back. With regard to litter in the sea, is my noble friend aware that an offshore wind farm is proposed off East Anglia? The proposed offshore wind farm is rectangular: it is about a mile wide—which is about the distance from here to the Tate...

Supreme Court and Lords of Appeal ( 9 Jun 2004)

Lord Howie of Troon: My Lords, what exactly is wrong with the Middlesex Guildhall? It seems to me to be perfectly adequate because it is a mock Victorian gothic building and very suitable for such an organisation.

Housing (12 May 2004)

Lord Howie of Troon: My Lords, it gives me particular pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Lucas, in the debate. He and I had several interesting and, I hope, fruitful discussions while he was Minister for construction in Mr Major's government. I never got anything out of him, but that was his loss. I should declare my usual interest: I have been involved in the construction industry for a lifetime. I should...

Lord Howie of Troon: My Lords—

Energy Bill [HL] (23 Mar 2004)

Lord Howie of Troon: My Lords, individual windmills have fairly substantial foundations which a ship could strike and a good deal of damage would be done to a ship.

Energy Bill [HL] (23 Mar 2004)

Lord Howie of Troon: My Lords, I believe that my noble friend Lord Whitty should pay great attention to the amendment of the noble Lord, Lord Greenway. This is a very serious matter and I do not consider that the Government have treated it with proper courtesy. The question is partly one of diverting shipping around intrusions in the shipping lanes. The important point about those intrusions—it has not been...

Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill ( 1 Mar 2004)

Lord Howie of Troon: My Lords, I support the noble Lord on the issue of building regulations. That is the way to go about the change, rather than using the law. The idea underlying the amendment and the attitude is a bit like motherhood and apple pie. The weakness of the approach is, simply, that renewable energy sources, desirable though they may be, have one overwhelming weakness; that they do not produce much...
