Baroness Drake: My Lords, I will speak to probing Amendments 2 and 3 in this group. The triple lock is not legislated for; it rests on a commitment given by successive Governments since 2011. However, indexing pensions at least in line with earnings is legislated for. Through this Bill, the Government are neither applying the triple lock nor the underpin of earnings indexation. Both have gone as a...
Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park: Moved by Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment 45A (to Lords Amendment 45). 45A: Leave out lines 7 to 14
Roger Gale: With this it will be convenient to discuss the following: Amendment 48, in clause 29, page 30, line 45, leave out subsections (2) and (3). This amendment would remove the requirement for the decision-maker to assess, on the balance of probabilities, whether a claimant’s fear of persecution is well-founded. Amendment 132, in clause 29, page 30, line 45, leave out “, on the balance of...
Stuart McDonald: ...a person is detained in an immigration detention facility, often in the middle of nowhere, and where the chances of securing proper legal advice and consultation in that time are incredibly slim. Amendment 45 would delete that requirement. Amendment 46 would also mean that the tribunal would be required to stop treating an appeal as an accelerated appeal if it was in the interests of...
Lord Paddick: My Lords, I have Amendments 35, 45, and 47 in this group. This is a very large group of amendments covering a range of issues and I apologise in advance for the length of my comments. Noble Lords will forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but I go back again to the Government response to the consultation on the new legal duty to support a multiagency approach to preventing and...
John Glen: ...this decision the FCA fully consideredâ¯theâ¯risks to customers, including the potential impacts on fraud, alongside theâ¯benefits. When the limits were last raised in Spring 2020 from £30 to £45 there was no significant recorded increase in the fraudulent use of contactless cards.⯠Similarly, no material increase in fraudulent transactions has been observed in other countries where...
Lord Storey: My Lords, I rise to speak on the issue of essay mills and contract cheating. I thank the Minister for tabling this amendment. There have been four Private Members’ Bills, three of them from me. The first time, I drew number 2, and then there was then a general election. I then drew number 50, which never got debated, and then I drew number 3—and we have the Private Member’s Bill up and...
Amendment 45 agreed.
Rebecca Pow: ...; there is a great deal happening, but there will be a great deal more happening as a result of the Bill. We believe that new section 141A of the Water Industry Act 1991 introduced by Lords amendment 45 is redundant, and I ask the House to agree to our amendment (a) to leave out lines 7 to 14 of that Lords amendment. I will say, though, that we are listening. We have listened all along and...

Eddie Hughes: This group of amendments makes provisions on who the accountable person is for higher-risk building when the title to the building is held in commonhold. The commonhold association owns and manages the common parts of the building in accordance with the commonhold community statement framework. Amendment 48 ensures that the Bill is explicit in providing that where the title to the building is...
Lord Watson of Invergowrie: My Lords, I will speak to Amendments 28, 29 and 30 in my name plus, very briefly, Amendments 32 and 33, to which I have added my name. The Government are undertaking significant reform to level 3 qualifications and that is an aim that we certainly support in principle. For too long, there have been far too many qualifications. These have not only confused young people but have not been...
Marie McNair: ....” We really do value carers. The carers allowance supplement is part of the wider support to carers that has been clearly set out and carefully budgeted for. I did not support the Opposition’s amendments, and it is disingenuous to suggest that we set future amounts of the supplement in that way, given the scale of what needs to be done, including the mitigation of a Westminster wrong...
Amendments made: 22, in schedule 5, page 167, line 4, at end insert— “(ba) after ‘Attorney General’ insert ‘, the Counsel General to the Welsh Government’”. This amendment provides that certain provisions of the Building Act 1984 do not affect the right of the Counsel General to the Welsh Government to apply for an injunction on the ground that any work contravenes provision...
Debbie Abrahams: ...hundreds and then thousands of people, including politicians, were detained. The National Federation of Indian Women claims that 13,000 teenage boys, some as young as 14, were imprisoned for up to 45 days, far away from their families. During the weeks and months that followed, it was difficult to get accurate information about what was happening in IAK. There was an imposed media blackout...
Kemi Badenoch: Amendment 45 would allow a voter who has provided a specified form of identification at a polling station to attest to the identity of another voter who does not have a specified identification with them, and therefore enable a ballot paper to be issued to them. Amendment 46 would allow a voter who signs an affidavit confirming their identity to be issued with a ballot paper, even if they...
Alex Norris: ...are public bodies and we expect them to act like public bodies. On clause 40, I do not think I had anything to ask the Minister beyond the points that he made. Clause 41 deals with consequential amendments. On clause 42, and at the risk of asking a daft question, although I do not think it is, but we will find out, what is the point of licensing trusts? Is this not just creating a bogus...
Justin Madders: I beg to move amendment 45, in clause 19, page 16, line 2, at end insert— “(c) make arrangements to ensure that patients can access services within maximum waiting times in accordance with their rights in the NHS Constitution.” This amendment places a duty on each integrated care board, in the exercise of its functions, to meet maximum waiting time standards. The amendment would...
