The Government are making almost no effort to get their act together in managing...

3. Topical Questions (23 Nov 2022)

Mick Antoniw: Thank you for the question. Of course, yes, last night, I thought it was a very impressive presentation by Professor Ciaran Martin, following on from the previous presentation by Sir David Lidington. I think these are very important contributions to our understanding of the constitutional issues that clearly do face us. I think it's worth just being clear about, firstly, what the judgment...

4. Statement by the First Minister: Reforming our Union (29 Jun 2021)

Mark Drakeford: ...acted against a motion passed by this Senedd under the Sewel convention. Even when Mrs May was Prime Minister, we were able to come to an agreement with the UK Government in negotiations led by David Lidington, in fact, in a way that avoided some of the dangers that we could both see there if the UK Government used the powers that it had. It is only since December 2019 that we have seen a...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: The Senedd's powers ( 9 Jun 2021)

Mick Antoniw: ...demonstrated the effectiveness of working together across the four nations. Sadly, too often, this has been achieved in spite of the UK Government rather than because of it.

I think...

1. Questions to the First Minister: The Joint Ministerial Committee (23 Mar 2021)

Mark Drakeford: Llywydd, can I thank Lynne Neagle for that? I very well remember being at a meeting of the JMC on European negotiations when the then Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, David Lidington, asked us to contribute to a list of those European Union organisations to which we would wish to remain in membership after we had left the European Union itself. Membership of Erasmus+ is available to...

We thank him for all his...

United Kingdom Internal Market Bill - Report (1st Day): Amendment 1 (18 Nov 2020)

Lord Liddle: ...Theresa May, in her commitment to “our precious union”, as she put it, saw the dangers that Brexit would pose to the devolution settlement and tried to find a consensual way of resolving them. David Lidington, with the help of people such as the noble Lord, Lord Dunlop, came up with this concept of common frameworks as a way of doing this. Why, in this Bill, if the Government have not...

United Kingdom Internal Market Bill - Committee (2nd Day): Amendment 15 (28 Oct 2020)

Lord Liddle: ...a great meal of this issue, building it up into a much bigger conflict than it needs to be. I urge them to follow the route of reviving and working through the common frameworks that I remember David Lidington proposed as part of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act.

Baroness Smith of Gilmorehill: To ask Her Majesty's Government, following the comments made by Sir David Lidington on 22 April, what assessment they have made of the available capacity of the Civil Service; and whether that capacity is sufficient to conclude a trade agreement with the EU at the same time as responding to COVID-19.

Environment Bill (26 Feb 2020)

Chris Matheson: ...(Rob Butler). I look forward to him bringing in his “Blankety Blank” chequebook and pen so that we can all admire it in the Tea Room. May I also pay a very warm tribute to his predecessor, David Lidington, who I shadowed for a while? I have to say that I did not actually enjoy shadowing him—not because of his intellect, which was clearly there, but because he was a thoroughly decent...

Terrorist Offenders (Restriction of Early Release) Bill - Second Reading (and remaining stages): Amendment to the Motion (24 Feb 2020)

Lord Balfe: ..., we had the matter of prisoners voting, and we got ourselves into a dreadful mess. The court came down with a fairly reasoned decision that was totally misunderstood by the Government, and it was David Lidington—who I still think was the best Justice Minister we had—who went to Strasbourg and unravelled the thing and sorted it out. However, the point that I want to make goes a bit...

In each instance, it has been concluded that the...

Acquired Brain Injury — [Mr Laurence Robertson in the Chair] ( 6 Feb 2020)

Chris Bryant: ...any of these individual issues unless we go to the centre and deal with this in a co-ordinated way. The right hon. Member for South Holland and The Deepings (Sir John Hayes) is absolutely right: David Lidington was clear that this was going to happen. There were some other things going on last year, but none the less, this was going to happen. I hope that the Minister will go back and...

I had the privilege of sitting on the rough sleeping and homelessness reduction taskforce as a junior Minister, when it was chaired by the then Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, David Lidington.
