Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay: ...this way and in the way that noble Lords have set out only if the Secretary of State could show that there remained exceptional reasons once a code had been modified. This test, which is a very high bar, would need to be met each time. Under the amendments in my name, Parliament would also be made aware straightaway each time a direction was made, and when the modified code came before...
Sarah Murphy: ...—beverages that include coffee, spirits, beers, and everything else? And my other question was, I recently had some constituents get in touch because when the Welsh Government is promoting beer and other alcoholic beverages, they asked if it was possible to always include the 'please drink responsibly' on there, which hasn't always been included, and if we could have that balance with...
Catherine West: ...shoulder with our servicemen and women in Kabul. I also applaud the growing trading relationship between Mongolia and the UK. There is ample room for it to continue to grow—admittedly, from a low bar—and I know there will be many opportunities for British business to visit the country and develop interests there. In particular, there seems to be an opportunity to share best practice on...
Siobhan Baillie: ...Association of Colleges and chambers of commerce all over the country are telling us. It cannot be right, as UKHospitality points out, that one of my local pubs cannot transfer its levy to another pub in the same chain, and that the levy will just disappear back into the Treasury if it is not used. We can make changes to make this thing work better for business. Let me turn to some clever...
Mark Drakeford: ...that we take climate change with the seriousness that it deserves. It's why we commissioned the independent roads review, and while we will not stop building roads in Wales, it does mean that the bar for doing so is much higher than in previous generations, as we balance those priorities and obligations—our economic obligations and our climate responsibilities—at the same time. It's...
Diana R. Johnson: ...The plea is: “Do not scrap what we already have as modest safeguards against further harm and exploitation of vulnerable children. Do not drop the existing time limits for detaining them. Do not bar them from accessing support provisions for modern slavery victims. Do not refuse to consider their claims for asylum, and for those children who arrive in the UK on their own and are taken...
Ellie Reeves: ...in custodial institutions like prisons that human rights protections are most vital, because individuals are under the control of the state.” In its written evidence to the Committee, the Bar Council stated: “There is no evidence of any systemic impairment due to the HRA of the Parole Board’s ability to make high-quality, safe, decisions about prisoners—no statistical analysis of...
Lord Allan of Hallam: ...Article 8 sense. My right vis-à-vis the state is much broader than my right vis-à-vis any public space that I am operating in where norms apply as well as my basic legal rights. Again, to take the pub example, if I went in and made a racist speech, I may well be thrown out of the pub even though it is sub-criminal and the police are never called; they do not need to be as the space...
Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay: ...with less capacity might seek a third-party solution, whereas a larger provider with greater capacity might develop their own solution. Any measures that providers use will need to meet the new high bar of being “highly effective”. If a provider does not comply with the new duties and fails to use measures which are highly effective at correctly determining whether or not a particular...
Lord Stevenson of Balmacara: ...at inappropriate moments in order that they should seek the profits from that. I think it is great, but I wonder why. I want to set the Minister a task: to convince us, now that we are at the bar, that when he says that this matter is still in play, he realises what that must imply and will give us a guarantee that we will be able to gain from the additional time that he seeks to get this...
Lord Stevenson of Balmacara: ...section of the Bill do not apply to them because otherwise it would bear on their ability to continue. That would be a complete travesty of where we are trying to get to here, which is an absolute bar on children having access to material that is illegal or in the lists now in the Bill in terms of priority content. The second worry that people have raised is: will the system that is set up...
Jacob Rees-Mogg: ...Speaker, you would agree with this—than it is to argue with a member of a Committee, or indeed even the Chairman of a Committee. In 1781, the wonderfully named Theophilus Swift was called to the Bar and had to apologise for causing offence, and a couple of duels were claimed by Members against Members. In 1845, Mr Somers, the Member for Sligo, challenged Mr Roebuck, the Member for Bath;...
Wendy Chamberlain: It is clear that Operation Soteria is seeing improvements, but, frankly, the bar is very low. I associate myself with the comments of the Chair of the Women and Equalities Committee that the crime that we are discussing is different. Faith in policing and the justice sector more generally is impacted when a force that was using Soteria—the Met—was found in the Casey report to have “a...
Amanda Solloway: Ofgem has guidance for managers and all employees seeking to take up an outside appointment, that aligns with the Civil Service Management Code. Ofgem’s Business Appointment Rules (BAR) assess any concerns related to appointments sought by existing and former employees. Under the BAR, restrictions on taking up appointments may be required. It is the responsibility of employees to notify...
Lord Young of Norwood Green: ...and the other with grown-ups. The audience was absolutely captivated—what an example of cultural diversity, music, skills, drumming, et cetera. I am pleased to say that the landlord of my local pub, the Plough—I will give him a plug—sponsors so much live music, whether it is jazz, folk or something else. There are some important lessons for the Government to learn. I look forward to...
Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay: ...pornography where they identify such content on their service. Providers covered by the new duties will also need to ensure that their use of these measures meets a clear, objective and high bar for effectiveness. They will need to be highly effective at correctly determining whether a particular user is a child. This new bar will achieve the intended outcome behind the amendments which we...
Lord Russell of Liverpool: ...by the 5Rights Foundation has found that “predictive search”, counted in the Bill as a search service functionality, is present on social media websites, leading one child user using a search bar to be presented in nanoseconds with prompts associated with eating disorders. In Committee, the Minister noted that the functionalities listed in this clause are non-exhaustive. At the very...
Jess Phillips: My right hon. Friend is making a powerful speech. I am the Member of Parliament who represents the majority of the families affected by the Birmingham pub bombings. When things do not go right, untold damage is done to families’ mental and physical health, and—as she has said—to their trust in any institution. That has to be stopped. We have an opportunity to stop our constituents, many...
Lord Garnier: ...to post damaging material about, for example, a business, such as one that sells meat, which becomes the victim of a vegan pile-on. It could be a local bed and breakfast, an Airbnb, a restaurant or pub that is owned by people who, for example, enjoy sports that others disapprove of—to take an easy and obvious example, hunting. In so far as hunting is still a permitted and legal activity,...
Andrew Murrison: ...serve in all respects for the period of their engagement, ensuring operational efficiency, safety for the individual and safety for others. Consequently, there are a number of conditions that are a bar to Service. The health and medical history of all individuals, as an Armed Forces applicant or a Serving person, is considered on a case-by-case basis. Candidates with Specific Learning...
