Reciprocal and Cross-Border Healthcare (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 - Motion to Approve (16 Nov 2020)

Lord Greaves: ...the Minister for setting out what this technical amendment does. As the noble Baroness said, it may be very technical, but it will hit a lot of individuals hard when they suddenly realise that Brexit is about more than sovereignty, taking back control and all the things people talk about. It is one of the first things that people will realise hit them personally. Brexit has happened and we...

Coronavirus Act 2020: Temporary Provisions - Motion to Take Note (28 Sep 2020)

Lord Greaves: Thank you. The country is dividing yet again into two tribes, just as we have been desperate to get over the division in the country over Brexit. A lot of people are frightened, hiding and confused. Great damage is being caused within families, as well as to their financial circumstances, and some people are being made poorly as a result of it. Others are angry and are becoming increasingly...

European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill - Committee (3rd Day) (Continued): Amendment 48 (16 Jan 2020)

Lord Greaves: ...concertinaed timetable makes that difficult but that is the way the House of Lords normally works. This is a special and unusual Bill and we are in unusual times, but it is an indication of the way Brexit has divided not only the country—almost down the middle—but this House and every institution in the country. I believe that there is a fundamental lack of trust here. Perhaps I am...

European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill - Committee (1st Day): Amendment 1 (14 Jan 2020)

Lord Greaves: ...Michael Gove and Priti Patel issued a statement. It was not a government Statement, but they are now the Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster—who has been tasked with getting Brexit done—and the Home Secretary, so they are pretty important people in the present Government. The statement said: “There will be no change for EU citizens already lawfully resident in...

European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill - Committee (1st Day): Amendment 1 (14 Jan 2020)

Lord Greaves: ...-headed Tories is moans. People are feeling a sense of loss, which is akin to bereavement and a grieving process has only just begun.

European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill - Second Reading (13 Jan 2020)

Lord Greaves: ...is in a majority of the Commons, but many MPs seem to be in a state of shock, not euphoria. However, out in the country there are still many angry people. It is not the will of the people that Brexit should be done, as the noble Viscount, Lord Ridley, said, but the will of half the people. The country is divided, and there are angry people on both sides. Many people who think we should...

Freedom of Establishment and Free Movement of Services (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 - Motion to Approve: Amendment to the Motion (23 Oct 2019)

Lord Greaves: ...Oates for explaining it all, so that I understand it a bit more. The right reverend Prelate and other noble Lords referred to UK citizens living in other EU countries and the effect that the whole Brexit thing is having on them. We have friends who live in the south of France and operate a small business there, and they have just held up their hands and applied for and obtained French...

Brexit: EU Citizens in the UK - Question (16 Jan 2019)

Lord Greaves: ...for something which was granted to them—the right to live in this country—when they first came.

Citizenship and Civic Engagement (Select Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note (19 Nov 2018)

Lord Greaves: ...to say that the government response is very disappointing. That phrase is divisive for a lot of people. I wonder if it is separatist, which might be appropriate or not, given what is going on with Brexit at the moment; I do not know. We should remember that for a lot of the people who have come to live in this country over the past two or three generations, the Empire is very much a part...

Waste: Chinese Import Ban - Question for Short Debate (11 Jan 2018)

Lord Greaves: ...whatever. We are going the wrong way and we need help from the Government, which means more money. The UK has been slow to react to the China ban.

We welcome that and look forward to debating it in your...
