Asylum Seekers: Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity - Question (25 Oct 2023)

Lord Duncan of Springbank: My Lords, I am slightly troubled by some of the remarks made by the Home Secretary, to be perfectly frank. There is a phrase, “performative utterance”. By creating a space in which it is possible to doubt and to sow that doubt you are therefore making it discomforting for those who might seek asylum in this country and all the good things which we have stated. I would like to believe that...

Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill - Report (1st Day) (Continued): Amendment 47 (15 May 2023)

Lord Duncan of Springbank: My Lords, I realise that the hour is late and I do not intend to detain your Lordships long. I speak to Amendment 48. It is a cross-party amendment and this morning, when I began to consider this, I typed up some notes, which I have—but I do not have my glasses and I typed in a font far too small. I feel I am now a speaking metaphor for what the amendment represents. We have to be careful...

Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill - Committee (5th Day) (15 Mar 2023)

Lord Duncan of Springbank: My Lords, I preface my remarks to the hearty few who are left behind by saying that the Marshalled List is fiddly today, so bear with me if I go off the rails. The noble Baroness, Lady Harris of Richmond, will be taking part remotely. I remind the Committee that, unless they are leading a group, remote speakers speak first after the mover of the lead amendment in a group and may therefore...

What measures are the Government bringing in to improve it, and how will we measure that?

Judicial Review and Courts Bill - Report: Amendment 39 (31 Mar 2022)

Lord Duncan of Springbank: My Lords, I am aware that we are without the Minister, so shall we have a brief pause while he is rustled up? That will allow some people to escape the Room and, hopefully, we can track down the Minister. We are all just too efficient—that is why it has happened.

Building Safety Bill - Report (Continued): Amendment 37 (29 Mar 2022)

Lord Duncan of Springbank: I will take the blame for that. I should have said moved formally and that would have encouraged the noble Lord, Lord Greenhalgh, to say “moved formally”. I will accept the admonition on that point. The noble Lord has saved the House some considerable time because I can see the page of that speech now fluttering in the wind.

Health and Care Bill - Report (4th Day) (Continued): Amendment 183 (16 Mar 2022)

Lord Duncan of Springbank: My Lords, I have listened to many remarks this evening. There are three things we must remember. First, this approach was brought in during a time of necessity and it has worked. Not only has it worked but it has worked well. It has worked well for vulnerable groups; it has worked well for the wider community, and we should not lose sight of that fact. Secondly, as we consider what we must do...
