Tributes: Sir David Amess MP - Tributes (18 Oct 2021)

Lord Blencathra: ...great hymn by Cecil Alexander says: “All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all.” If the Lord God made them, David Amess defended them. I say this carefully: I think that David died a Christian martyr. I mean “martyr” in the proper Greek derivation of the term meaning a witness and nothing else. He died...

Orders of the Day — Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Bill: Short Title, Commencement and Extent. (21 Jul 2000)

David Maclean: I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Southend, West (Mr. Amess) on getting his Bill to the Third Reading stage. It has not been easy for him, and I am one of those who have not made it easy for him. I hope that he agrees that he now has a better Bill, which exceeds his expectations. He has not had an easy time today because he has had to move amendments and accept other amendments. He...

Orders of the Day — Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Bill: Strategy Relating to Fuel Poverty (21 Jul 2000)

David Maclean: ...strategy. They are two of the most important amendments to the Bill. Rather than restoring a provision that was in the original Bill promoted by my hon. Friend the Member for Southend, West (Mr. Amess), they would incorporate into it a time scale from the Bill that the hon. Member for Nottingham, South (Mr. Simpson) promoted. My hon. Friend the Member for Southend, West did not need to...

Orders of the Day — Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Bill: Strategy Relating to Fuel Poverty (21 Jul 2000)

David Maclean: ...drop into the debate my concern about the proliferation of such elements of renewable energy in the wrong places. The amendment is important. My hon. Friend the Member for Southend, West (Mr. Amess) was too harsh on himself and too self-deprecating when he wound up the previous debate. If an ordinary private Member on a Committee with a huge Government majority is faced with the prospect...

Orders of the Day — Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Bill: Meaning of "fuel Poverty" (21 Jul 2000)

David Maclean: ...put back into the Bill and that, in those circumstances, we would be happy for it to proceed. I am glad that the Minister, in discussion with my hon.

Member for Nottingham, South (Mr. Simpson): the Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Bill, as it was...

Friend the Member for Southend, West (Mr. Amess) on the way in which he steered his Bill through Second Reading. Even though he has not had the privilege of serving as a high-ranking Minister, despite being an admirable Parliamentary...

Prayers: Adjournment (Easter) (31 Mar 1999)

David Maclean: ...Easter recess. We have a modernising new Government and I am very progressive. I went ahead of my time. Before we rise for the Easter recess, like my hon. Friend the Member for Southend, West (Mr. Amess), I have a number of issues to bring to the Minister's attention. Like my hon. Friend, I find this three-hour Adjournment debate to be one of the most important features of our...

Child Witnesses (13 Dec 1994)

David Maclean: ...my hon. Friend the Member for Stratford-on-Avon (Mr. Howarth). Indeed, when the Criminal Justice and Public Order Bill was being considered in Committee, my hon. Friend the Member for Basildon (Mr. Amess) was lobbying me hard on this point, as was my hon. Friend the Member for Gravesham (Mr. Arnold). Several amendments were successfully moved by my hon. Friend the Member for Brecon and...
