Building Safety - Statement (27 Mar 2024)

...on the continuing work to fix buildings with unsafe cladding across England, and the Government’s increasing determination to enforce against those who fail to take responsibility. Since the beginning of 2023, there has been a step change in all aspects of remediation in England, from a limited programme to full coverage of all residential buildings over 11 metres; from developers not...

Ukraine: Arms and Ammunition Costs - Question (26 Mar 2024)

Lord Stirrup: My Lords, could the Minister go a bit further in response to the point from the noble Lord, Lord Wallace? The contribution that the UK has made to Ukraine is welcome and to be applauded, but by itself it is wholly insufficient. President Macron has said that Europe must do whatever is necessary to ensure Ukraine’s success, irrespective of political decisions in the United States. However,...

Cabinet Manual - Question (25 Mar 2024)

Lord Wallace of Saltaire: My Lords, in due course there will be an election. There are probably only four months more of parliamentary sitting before we reach the general election. In saying that these things will be done in due course, are the Government kicking the can down the road until the election reaches us, or do they actually want to ensure that the Cabinet Office contributes to the principle of good...

Armed Forces Readiness and Defence Equipment (21 Mar 2024)

John Healey: No, it is not. We have a much better solution, which is to legislate for an independent armed forces commissioner, like there is in Germany. They will be a voice for armed forces personnel and the families who support them, and will report to Parliament, not Ministers. In that way, we can reinforce the accountability of our military to this House and the public, as well as making it more...

Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill - Committee (1st Day): Amendment 8 (20 Mar 2024)

Lord Wallace of Saltaire: ..., I shall speak to Amendment 8. I declare an interest: I have two children, both scientists, working in universities. My son runs a microbiology laboratory at Edinburgh University that has a number of international research partnerships, including with Israeli academics. I am unaware, from everything my children have told me, that anyone is boycotting contact with Israel in microbiology....

Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill - Committee (1st Day): Amendment 7 (20 Mar 2024)

Lord Wallace of Saltaire: My Lords, I am an academic and, in the course of my career, I have been an associated member of three colleges in Oxford and Cambridge. One has a governing body in the mid-30s; the second has one of around 50; and the third has one of nearly 100—much too large, I quite agree. The chilling effect of this clause on those three colleges would be considerable, precisely because it is not...

Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill - Committee (1st Day): Amendment 1 (20 Mar 2024)

Lord Wallace of Saltaire: My Lords, I am slightly better informed. We have many difficulties with this Bill. I must say that it would be much easier if it were simply a Bill about boycott of Israel and mainly about sanctions. It would be narrower, and we would know what we were talking about. But it is a Bill that is supposed to apply to every single foreign state in the world except for Ireland, which raises very...

Representation of the People (Variation of Election Expenses and Exclusions) Regulations 2024 - Motion to Approve: Amendment to the Motion (19 Mar 2024)

Baroness Scott of Bybrook: It is, but we already have the Elections Act, which looked at donations and the rules behind them. That part of election law is already being dealt with. Fundraising is a legitimate part of the democratic process; we cannot get away from that. I am sorry, but the Government do not agree with the noble Baroness opposite that we should have political parties funded by government. That is not a...

Extremism Definition and Community Engagement - Statement (19 Mar 2024)

Lord Wallace of Saltaire: My Lords, I will make two points. First, I think there was an overlap between some of the work that the Intelligence and Security Committee has been doing about foreign interference in British politics and the dangers this is trying to address. We all know that internal politics in Pakistan spills over into British cities, with Tehreek and others. There are close links between some of our...

Housing: Young People - Motion to Take Note (14 Mar 2024)

Lord Young of Cookham: ...who have put their names down to speak on a subject whose salience is rising up the political agenda, and I look forward to an informed and constructive debate. I want to outline what steps might be taken in the next Parliament to improve housing outcomes for everyone, but particularly for young people. They have been one of the principal casualties of the housing market, which the...

Scottish Government: Devolved Competences - Question (13 Mar 2024)

Lord Wallace of Saltaire: ...of experience now with the devolved settlements, we still have a separate Scottish Office and Welsh Office in London and seats in the Cabinet. The Minister will have seen the arguments made by a number of people on our need for a smaller Cabinet. Would not it be sensible now, in making sure that the devolved Administrations have a central link with central Government, to have one...

809 Naval Air Squadron - Question (11 Mar 2024)

Lord Lee of Trafford: My Lords, in 2022 the then Defence Secretary, Ben Wallace, told the International Relations and Defence Select Committee that the RAF training programme was “lacking” and “not in the place I would like it to be”. Apparently, at that stage we had only 30 British pilots who could fly the F35s. Has the situation improved? How many pilots have we got at present who can fly the F35s? Can...

Higher Education - Motion to Take Note ( 7 Mar 2024)

Baroness Barran: ...Lords, I join noble Lords in congratulating the noble Lord, Lord Blunkett, on securing this very important debate and thank him for the way he introduced it. I underline how both personally and on behalf of the Government I absolutely share his aspiration that there should be equal opportunity for every young person to access the benefits of higher education. I am not sure whether I am...

Brexit: Benefits to Economy and Society - Question ( 6 Mar 2024)

Lord Wallace of Saltaire: ...fought the last election, very successfully, on getting Brexit done, and we are now coming up to an election in which they will want to say again that Brexit was a success, should they not be making a major theme of what the benefits have been in a report on the last five years? Does the Minister agree that the public are more aware of the costs than the benefits of Brexit? Good balance in...

Foreign Affairs - Motion to Take Note (Continued) ( 5 Mar 2024)

Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton: I am very sorry. If I have time at the end, I will take interventions. It is a challenge to try to answer 63 speeches—I am determined to be equal to it. The noble Lord, Lord Polak, made a powerful speech and I want to answer directly his question: do we still believe that a Hamas-run Gaza cannot be a partner for peace for Israel? That is correct: it cannot be. Hamas is a terrorist...

Situation in the Red Sea - Statement (29 Feb 2024)

Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle: ..., 26/2/24; col. 25.] yet elsewhere, the Statement notes: “The Houthi intent remains undiminished”.—[Official Report, Commons, 26/2/24; col. 27.] Picking up the point of the noble Lord, Lord Wallace, there is little or no evidence thus far that there has been a meaningful diminishment in capacity. Is the word “successful” right, or should perhaps the Government not be saying...
