High Speed Rail (Scotland) — [Mr Christopher Chope in the Chair] ( 6 Nov 2012)

Norman Baker: ...referendum, and we are not planning for independence. I personally think that the Scottish people will conclude, for the reasons that the hon. Lady set out, that independence will be yet another gamble as far as high-speed rail is concerned. Behind all the headline statistics, HS2 is about believing in something better than we have. The coalition Government passionately believes that the...

Air Quality (30 Jun 2004)

Norman Baker: ..., will sadly get worse. That is an unacceptable message to give to the constituents of the hon. Members for Hayes and Harlington and for Uxbridge, and those elsewhere.

There are statistics that support both sides of the debate, but I was struck by the report that more than half of the world's...

Public Bill Committee: Proceeds of Crime Bill (22 Nov 2001)

Norman Baker: ...of the offloading of the proceeds of crime. The proceeds of crime in Ireland tend to be lap dancing clubs, racehorses and other property of that kind. People are involved in activities such as gambling, and someone who has a criminal lifestyle-or, to suggest an alternative phrase to the Minister, someone who has a history of recurrent criminal behaviour-and who has received proceeds of...

Orders of the Day — Plant Varieties Bill (24 Jun 1997)

Norman Baker: ...animal species that were introduced into our country and which have changed the balance of the countryside significantly, such as the rabbit, the grey squirrel and the mink. Do we want to take huge gambles with new and unpredictable crop varieties which, once released into the environment, cannot be recalled?
