Orders of the Day — Licensing (Low Alcohol Drinks) Bill: Low Alcohol Liquor Not to Be Intoxicating Liquor for the Purposes of the Licensing Act 1964 (20 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: My hon. Friend the Member for Gedling is son to his father. I noted that, during an earlier intervention, my hon. Friend used the word "Ireland". He did not mean that; he meant "Northern Ireland". If I rebuke him it is because his father served as Minister of State, Northern Ireland Office. My hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department also served at the Northern Ireland...

Orders of the Day — Licensing (Low Alcohol Drinks) Bill: Low Alcohol Liquor Not to Be Intoxicating Liquor for the Purposes of the Licensing Act 1964 (20 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: Yes, he was a Parliamentary Private Secretary. We ought not to refer to Ireland. As my hon. Friend the Member for Gedling knows very well, there was a meeting of the Anglo-Irish Conference yesterday, and this afternoon the Prime Minister of the Irish Republic, who has made a journey from Dublin, is to wait on the Prime Minister.

Orders of the Day — Licensing (Low Alcohol Drinks) Bill: Low Alcohol Liquor Not to Be Intoxicating Liquor for the Purposes of the Licensing Act 1964 (20 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: I apologise to my hon. Friend. I transposed the letters d and 1. Perhaps my hon. Friend will table an early-day motion recording my apology.

Orders of the Day — Licensing (Low Alcohol Drinks) Bill: Low Alcohol Liquor Not to Be Intoxicating Liquor for the Purposes of the Licensing Act 1964 (20 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: I was addressing myself in particular to amendment No. 8, which stands in the name of my hon. Friend the Member for Maidstone. We have clarified matters so that we now know that the little nought above the figure 1009 refers to specific gravity. The key question is, should we insert the words? My hon. Friend the Member for Maidstone wants the words inserted because she wants added...

Orders of the Day — Licensing (Low Alcohol Drinks) Bill: Low Alcohol Liquor Not to Be Intoxicating Liquor for the Purposes of the Licensing Act 1964 (20 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: I have no wish to injure the glittering political career of the hon. Member for Linlithgow but I must tell him that I almost called him my hon. Friend, and I really think of him in those terms. I hope that that will not injure his prospects. I am aware—we are all students of these matters—of the business that is before the House. We are now discussing the Licensing (Low Alcohol Drinks)...

Orders of the Day — Licensing (Low Alcohol Drinks) Bill: Low Alcohol Liquor Not to Be Intoxicating Liquor for the Purposes of the Licensing Act 1964 (20 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: I join the hon. Member for Linlithgow (Mr. Dalyell) in congratulating my hon. Friend the Member for Honiton (Sir P. Emery) on his excellent Bill. It has been drafted with the care which has characterised my hon. Friend's parliamentary career. It came as no surprise to you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, just as it came as no surprise to the Comptroller of Her Majesty's Household, that the Committee...

Orders of the Day — Licensing (Low Alcohol Drinks) Bill: Low Alcohol Liquor Not to Be Intoxicating Liquor for the Purposes of the Licensing Act 1964 (20 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: I said that it was one of the shortest Committee stages in the records of this place. The conclusion I drew from that was that the Standing Committee, composed of formidable intellects, decided that the Bill should receive not one amendment in Committee. That is a tribute to the draftsmanship of my hon. Friend and the intellect of those who served on the Committee. I wish to remind my hon....

Orders of the Day — Licensing (Low Alcohol Drinks) Bill: Low Alcohol Liquor Not to Be Intoxicating Liquor for the Purposes of the Licensing Act 1964 (20 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: We are discussing the level of alcohol in drink. Neither my hon. Friend the Comptroller of Her Majesty's Household nor I would claim to be an expert on low-alcohol drinks. From time to time, my hon. Friend the Comptroller has summoned me to his own house for consultations. When I receive a summons from my hon. Friend, I naturally obey and the summonses are always for the hour of noon. At that...

Orders of the Day — Licensing (Low Alcohol Drinks) Bill: Low Alcohol Liquor Not to Be Intoxicating Liquor for the Purposes of the Licensing Act 1964 (20 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: Although neither my hon. Friend the Member for Maidstone nor I am addicted to low-alcohol drinks, we are still entitled to a view on the Bill. I see that my hon. Friend the Comptroller assents to that proposition. There is merit in amendment No. 8. I shall be listening with the closest attention—

Orders of the Day — Licensing (Low Alcohol Drinks) Bill: Low Alcohol Liquor Not to Be Intoxicating Liquor for the Purposes of the Licensing Act 1964 (20 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: I hope that our hon. Friend the Treasurer will be in his place later this morning.

Orders of the Day — Licensing (Low Alcohol Drinks) Bill: Low Alcohol Liquor Not to Be Intoxicating Liquor for the Purposes of the Licensing Act 1964 (20 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: But he was not on the Treasury Bench. I hope that my hon. Friend the Member for Brigg and Cleethorpes (Mr. Brown) will ask our hon. Friend the Treasurer to come in to clarify the point himself. I shall add only that I have been the recipient of the most generous—not to say munificent—hospitality at the hands not only of my hon. Friend the Comptroller, but of my hon. Friend the Treasurer....

Anglo-Irish Agreement ( 5 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: Apart from the Republic of Argentina, which lays claim to part of Her Majesty's dominions—what it describes as the Malvinas—the only other country which lays claim to any part of Her Majesty's dominions is the Republic of Ireland. That was highlighted in the debate to which he have just listened. I want to remind the House of the terms of articles 2 and 3 of the Republic's constitution....

Anglo-Irish Agreement ( 5 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: I agree entirely. There are some Members of Parliament, among whom I am not to be included, who believe that Her Majesty's Government entered into the Anglo-Irish Agreement in something other than good faith. I have never doubted the good faith of Her Majesty's Government or of the Government of the Irish Republic in entering into the Anglo-Irish Agreement. Despite the words of my right hon....

Anglo-Irish Agreement ( 5 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: When dealing with any of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom, Her Majesty's Government have a duty to take account of the interests of all of the people in each of those four countries. For example, the Secretary of State for Scotland must ensure that, in the administration of Scotland, nationalists, socialists, liberals and those who, like myself, believe in the Union are all...

London March (Disorder) ( 2 Apr 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: Will my right hon. and learned Friend mark the contrast between the wise and responsible words of the shadow Home Secretary this afternoon and the manifest failure of a large number of Labour Members to endorse those words?

Oral Answers to Questions — Northern Ireland: Terrorists (Extradition) (29 Mar 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: Will my right hon. Friend make representations to the Government of the Irish Republic that it is most desirable to remove articles 2 and 3 from the constitution of the Irish Republic? Will he assure the House that he has made such representations, either directly or through the framework of the secretariat?

Business of the House (27 Mar 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: If the accusation made by the shadow Leader of the House should be valid, would that not be something that the House ought to take into account when it comes to consider whether to renew the televising of this place? Is my right hon. and learned Friend aware that the timetable motion that he has announced will be greatly welcomed by Government Members?

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Birmingham Pub Bombings (22 Mar 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: Can my right hon. and learned Friend tell the House the nature of the fresh evidence that has been provided and upon which he has asked the police to report? Can he assure the House that the police will conduct the further inquiry as rapidly as possible, consistent with examining the evidence thoroughly?

Orders of the Day — War Crimes Bill (19 Mar 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: My right hon. and learned Friend gave a ringing justification for what he sees as the new legal process described in the Bill. Why did he not discuss that with the then Attorney-General, my noble and learned Friend Lord Shawcross—the chief prosecuting officer at the time and one of the most eminent lawyers of the day—who would have been able to offer my right hon. and learned Friend...

Orders of the Day — War Crimes Bill (19 Mar 1990)

Mr Ian Gow: And on costing.
