Nuclear Energy - Motion to Take Note ( 7 Sep 2023)

Lord Howell of Guildford: ...budget. At Flamanville on the Cherbourg peninsula—which I have visited—they are running 11 years late. It is still not ready and is also €10 billion over budget. There was a much-vaunted, allegedly successful EPR model in Taishan in China, but there too a reactor had to be closed down because of fuel rod problems. Our own first EPR, at Hinkley Point, was originally supposed to be...

Royal Navy: Conduct towards Women - Commons Urgent Question ( 2 Nov 2022)

Lord Howell of Guildford: My Lords, these are obviously deeply serious matters, whether all the allegations and reports in the media are correct or not. Can the Minister reassure the House that the work of the investigating team mentioned in the Statement—and also what she calls the large-scale changes in policy in the defence area in the last year—are really going to lead to meaningful, lasting and decisive change?

Climate Change: COP 26 - Motion to Take Note (18 Nov 2021)

Lord Howell of Guildford: ..., in short order, the complex coal, oil and gas fuel mix that has dominated the world for the past two centuries. Not only can this not be done without intense human suffering or within the alleged timescale but just hand-wringing and promising not to finance any new coal-fired power stations does not begin to touch the rising emissions problem that is sitting before us. The only way of...

Queen’s Speech - Debate (2nd Day) (Continued) ( 7 Jan 2020)

Lord Howell of Guildford: ...Trump appeared it was clear that our world views no longer coincided. A new relationship should have been built up long ago. Meanwhile, we are subjected to dim-witted columnists who write about an alleged choice between Europe and America that does not exist. Have these people forgotten about China’s growing role in the Middle East and world affairs and that we now live in a network...

Saudi Arabia and Iran - Question (15 Nov 2017)

Lord Howell of Guildford: ...Qatar, which of course is undermining the whole solidarity of the Gulf Cooperation Council? Does he agree that the UK might be able to contribute to ending that dispute by looking more carefully at allegations that Qatar is assisting Iranian subversion and actual terrorist groups such as al-Nusra, establishing whether they true, and if so what Qatar’s motives are in pursuing this...

Hurricane Irma - Statement (12 Sep 2017)

Lord Howell of Guildford: ...very good Prime Minister, in my view—used to remind us that, a lie can get halfway round the world before the truth can get its boots on. I was glad to hear the Minister refute some of the wilder allegations that have been made in the press and elsewhere about the apparent weakness of our effort. It was not weak at all. Furthermore, as he reminded us, we actually made a pre-positioning...

UK and EU Relations - Motion to Take Note (12 Sep 2017)

Lord Howell of Guildford: ...in Europe can be achieved outside the rigid confines of the old EU treaties. Long before Brexit, we should have been doing this anyway. We should have been afraid of neither treaty change nor allegations that we are somehow heretics challenging the sacred European principles. We are neither. We are, or should be, realists who want, and always have wanted, our region to be stable and to...

Private Ownership — Motion to Take Note (22 Oct 2015)

Lord Howell of Guildford: ...investor is not willing to do so. My only disappointment, if I may end on this note, is that there was no further comment on wider ownership and some attempt to calm down and overcome the eternal alleged ideological battle between capital and labour which has gone on for most of my lifetime. I believed in the 1970s and I believe even more strongly today that, where wealth is being created,...

Energy Bill [HL]: Committee (3rd Day) (14 Sep 2015)

Lord Howell of Guildford: ...sources, which have their place, which must contribute and which I support, will remain expensive. In other words, someone has to pay for them. Lastly, the noble Baroness, Lady Worthington, has alleged, I think along with others, that there is a contrast between the need to restrain further subsidies—not to halt the development of onshore wind, because if it can get its costs down and,...

Energy Bill — Report (3rd Day) ( 6 Nov 2013)

Lord Howell of Guildford: ...this is only patch and mend. It is far from getting anywhere near the roots of the problem or taking the effective action that could be taken to ease some of the threats of fuel poverty, which is alleged to be exceptionally high in this country. It is patch and mend. Clause 136, which is paraded as a strategy, is not a strategy. It is the Secretary of State’s patch-and-mend list of hopes...

Air Passenger Duty — Question for Short Debate (28 Jan 2013)

Lord Howell of Guildford: ...for two and a half years as Commonwealth Minister, that APD in its current inflated form is working against our friends, against our foreign policy goals and against the national interest. The alleged revenue loss from minor adjustments to make it less unfair will be far exceeded by the gains to the UK economy as a whole. It was meant to be a modest tax; it is now a massive tax. The damage...

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, my honourable friend the Member for North East Bedfordshire...

Written Answers — House of Lords: Democratic Republic of Congo (24 Sep 2012)

MONUSCO, in line with its mandate, stands ready to support action by the Congolese authorities.

Written Answers — House of Lords: Homosexuality (24 Sep 2012)

Written Answers — House of Lords: Bahrain (18 Jul 2012)

Lord Howell of Guildford: ...from the list of countries of concern in the 2012 annual report.
