Alan Brown: ...the pot for AR5 was welcome, but frankly £10 million is not enough. We need to be willing to commit more to support tidal stream in future. This has been a good debate, as I say. Everybody bar one agrees about the need to hit net zero, and I think we can all see the opportunities for job creation. Going forward, we need to grab those opportunities.
Jeremy Miles: ...they might provide. But, at the end of the day, it’s a matter for headteachers to decide on how to spend their budget. They have a portal that provides a service free of charge, and there is no bar to them using that. If they use another service, I don’t know what that may provide, so it’s difficult for me to compare those two things. But every head is under financial pressure at the...
Jess Phillips: I believe this is the first time I have had the pleasure of serving under your chairship, Ms Nokes. I want to say a massive congratulations to my hon. Friend the Member for Edmonton (Kate Osamor) for bringing forward this important debate, and to all the agencies that compiled the report. I am hopeful that the Minister will want to arrange a meeting with them to look at the findings, which,...
Rebecca Pow: ...covers the fact that on appointment and when leaving Ofwat, they are bound by the provisions of Criminal Law, including the Official Secrets Act. As Civil Servants, the 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. Depending on the role and/or...
John Lamont: ...were shared by the hon. Member for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross (Jamie Stone), as well as memories of the friendship that Winnie offered and, clearly, very fond memories of the Jolly Judge pub in Edinburgh at the top of the Royal Mile, which is one of my favourite pubs as well. The hon. Member for Arfon (Hywel Williams) pay tribute from a Welsh perspective and the hon. Member...
Dehenna Davison: ...beautiful part of the world, and it is no wonder so many people choose to take holidays and make trips to the south-west. In fact, the south-west attracts more visitors than anywhere else in the UK bar London—but I reckon you guys can catch up if we work hard enough! Relying on tourism to drive the economy is a double-edged sword, especially in the south-west. While it creates plenty of...
Richard Foord: ...a number of defibrillators. They go on various routes, competing against one another, to see who can get back to the beginning having found the most defibrillators. They ran around Seaton, Axmouth, Beer, Colyton and Colyford, covering a big chunk of the Tiverton and Honiton constituency. I pay particular tribute to Heather Simmons, Claire Warner and Sarah and Ronnie Whelan, who deserve...
Seema Malhotra: ...subsection (1), which specifically outlines that it is a defence for the trader if the offence was “a mistake or accident”. I just wonder whether there is any more guidance regarding what the bar or threshold is here, and about how individuals and businesses will be required to prove that an offence occurred as a result of a mistake or accident. Amendment 72 ensures that the defence...
Mike Freer: ..., and is fully committed to engaging with the legal profession on all the department’s priorities, including Common Platform. He is looking forward to meeting with representatives of the Criminal Bar Association in mid-July to discuss the priorities that they wish to engage on. Throughout the rollout of Common Platform, we have engaged extensively with the defence community on the wider...
Ruth Cadbury: ...safe. I could have started this debate by reeling off a long list of figures and statistics about crime and policing, but I will not. Debates about crime are not abstract. It is not a line on a bar chart, but so much more. It is often a life shattered, confidence taken away and a hole left behind. Take one constituent who contacted me after a string of car thefts outside their home. They...
Lord Hacking: My Lords, I am a Member of this House whose memory of legal aid probably goes back to before others were here. I was called to the Bar in 1963 and took an active part in legal aid, being not only a recipient of legal aid cases but sitting on legal aid committees. I view it as one of the great social achievements of the Labour Government ending in 1951, and it has been a matter of great...
Michael Gove: ...the end of my remarks. I recognise that many people have, in good faith, expressed concerns about aspects of the Bill, but I point out that the provisions are specifically designed to provide a high bar to ensure that local government acts as it should in accordance with the interest of its citizens, to ensure that UK foreign policy is articulated with one voice, and to ensure in...
Dehenna Davison: ...UK such as the Leigh Spinners Mill in Greater Manchester; the Queen’s Ballroom in Blaenau Gwent, Wales; St Columb's Hall in Derry City and Strabane, Northern Ireland; and the UK’s most remote pub, The Old Forge, in the Scottish Highlands. These projects are making a genuine difference to their communities. With the additional investment awarded in this bidding window, I am delighted to...
Lord Young of Cookham: ...could probably times the £80 million by five and you would start to make a small dent in relation to the scale of the problem”. His comments were reinforced by what Mark Fenhalls, chair of the Bar Council, told us: “The state has retreated from the investigation and prosecution of fraud over the last 15 years”. Prosecutions went down from 20,000 a year in 2010 to about 5,000 a few...
Andrew Selous: ...in healthcare in hospitals in Africa, and in many parts of the world, if a patient’s family and friends do not go into the hospital, they will not survive. If we completely keep carers out and bar the door, have we not gone a little too far? There have to be standards, of course—it would have to be done in agreement with the staff and there would have to a be risk assessment. I...
Richard Foord: ...by my right hon. Friend the Member for Orkney and Shetland (Mr Carmichael), who has decades of experience representing fishermen and the fishing industry, whereas I have represented the town of Beer for merely a year. None the less, I will make a few comments that seek to represent the small fishing fleet of Beer. I will specifically comment on the trade and co-operation agreement with...
Alex Cole-Hamilton: I am very grateful for that reply. Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete is a light and bubbly material that was used in public sector construction for decades. If you think of the inside of an Aero bar, you will get the idea. In February, NHS Scotland issued a safety action notice. It warned that roofs, walls and flooring made of that material are at risk of “catastrophic structural...
Lord Stewart of Dirleton: ...they make an asylum claim. In the case of a national of a Section 80AA country, the fact that they have raised a protection or human rights claim against their country of nationality would not be a bar to their removal to their home country, unless the Secretary of State considers that there are exceptional circumstances why they cannot be removed there. The noble Lord, Lord Coaker, in...
James Evans: ..., the jewel in the crown, as I call it, the Royal Welsh Show. And I personally have had many good days there and have also had some very good nights, mostly in the National Sheep Association bar, or in the young members' pavilion. It's a very, very good place to be, and I encourage everybody to go to the NSA bar if you get a chance. The Royal Welsh Show attracts so many visitors to our...
Baroness Helic: ...undermined. The evidence is clear: for a successful prosecution, support for victims must come before engagement with the police and courts system. As drafted, the Bill inverts that, setting a high bar for co-operation before any person can be considered for an exemption from immediate deportation. In Committee, when asked by the noble Lord, Lord Paddick, about the effect of removing...
