Procurement Bill [HL] - Second Reading (25 May 2022)

Lord Strasburger: ...should concern us all. The first problem with PPE procurement was that the UK started the pandemic from a bad place. Much of our stockpile of PPE items had been neglected and allowed to fall out of date, making it unusable due to the risk that it would fail to protect its users. The stockpile was created in 2009 at a cost of £500 million, following an outbreak of swine flu. Sadly, during...

Written Answers — Department of Health and Social Care: Pestfix: Protective Clothing ( 1 Dec 2020)

Lord Strasburger: To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to Question for Written Answer HL5806, tabled on 16 June and due for answer on 30 June, how many contracts they have entered into with Pestfix Ltd; on what dates those contracts were entered into; and when they will publish the contract award notices.

Investigatory Powers Bill - Committee (3rd Day) (Continued) (19 Jul 2016)

Lord Strasburger: ...putting the IPC at the head of a Commission. The evidence we have heard is that the work of the oversight body will be significantly enhanced by the creation of a Commission with a clear legal mandate”. The Interception of Communications Commissioner’s Office commented: “The bulk of the oversight will actually be carried out by inspectors and staff within the Commission who need a...

Investigatory Powers — Motion to Take Note ( 8 Jul 2015)

Lord Strasburger: ...years, everyone who has taken an interest in these matters has been able to see that the six Acts of Parliament that in some way cover surveillance in this country are an incoherent mess, out of date and not fit for purpose. The only exceptions—the only advocates for the status quo—have been in the Home Office. They have repeatedly asserted to us that RIPA is close to perfect, that...

Queen’s Speech — Debate (4th Day) ( 2 Jun 2015)

Lord Strasburger: ...to enter the debate, they do so only in the most desultory and reluctant manner. When the investigatory powers Bill is published, we can hope that it will bring the existing legislation up to date and clearly restrict the occasions when snooping is permitted. We can hope that the Bill will remove the hidden loopholes that have allowed the state massively to expand, completely in secret and...

Lord Strasburger: ...the foetus in England, Wales and Scotland. (2) The arrangements made under subsection (1) shall be such as to enable publication of the assessment by the Secretary of State within 6 months of the date of Royal Assent to this Act.

Serious Crime Bill [HL] — Report (2nd Day) (28 Oct 2014)

Lord Strasburger: ...the police can secretly identify them, a lot fewer whistles are going to be blown. They and we know what would happen to them if their cover was blown. They could be arrested; they would be intimidated; they would be ostracised; and they would lose their job and their pension. If insiders who know about wrongdoing stop coming forward because they can no longer be guaranteed anonymity,...

Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Bill — Second Reading (16 Jul 2014)

Lord Strasburger: ...or was it a conspiracy? No wonder there is such cynicism about and distrust of politicians out in the country. RIPA was deeply flawed for many reasons when it was passed. Today it is also out of date, having been passed seven years before the first smartphone was introduced to the market—Apple’s iPhone—and internet on the move became ubiquitous. It allows too many public authorities...

Security Services: Supervision — Question for Short Debate ( 7 Nov 2013)

Lord Strasburger: ...debate about what we are prepared to allow our security services to do and the boundaries of their reach into our private lives. I hope that the outcome would be permission for intrusive and up-to-date powers of interception for the police and security services where there are convincing grounds for suspicion of serious crime. Equally there needs to be a strong prohibition of mass...
