Elections Bill - Report (2nd Day): Amendment 64 (25 Apr 2022)

Baroness Hayman of Ullock: My Lords, our Amendment 64 looks to bring in one of the recommendations that came from PACAC around the consolidation of electoral law. The Elections Bill makes substantial changes to electoral law, but it does not tackle something that has been fundamentally and widely recognised: the need to consolidate the existing voluminous and fragmented body of electoral law. Amendment 64 aims to...

Elections Bill - Report (1st Day): Amendment 9A ( 6 Apr 2022)

Baroness Hayman of Ullock: I will be very brief, because we need to make progress.

Water Companies: Duties and Accountability - Question ( 4 Apr 2022)

Baroness Hayman of Ullock: My Lords, the Minister referred earlier to the strategic policy statement that was laid before Parliament back in February, in which the Government urged Ofwat to challenge water companies on how to be more ambitious in protecting the environment and deliver the resilient and sustainable water supply we need.
