Health and Care Bill - Committee (7th Day): Amendment 213A (31 Jan 2022)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...import control regime that the United States has had for some time. The USA requires importers to document the source of products, not just the town and city but the particular factory, and to make tracking possible. Indeed, DNA tests can locate the source of the cotton, for example—the very region where it has come from. What do we mean when we talk about serious risk of genocide? These...

Nationality and Borders Bill - Second Reading ( 5 Jan 2022)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...decision-making, access to proper legal advice and properly run courts and tribunals. But, instead of strengthening early decision-making, the Home Secretary is weakening appeals, creating fast-track processes that are unlawful and increasing her own arbitrary powers, taking to herself the power to accelerate hearings at such speed that there are likely to be illegal outcomes. There is a...

Hong Kong - Private Notice Question ( 2 Jun 2020)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...Hong Kong. The Minister will certainly know that Beijing has probably the most advanced technological security apparatus in the world and is now using it, including facial recognition, intercepts, tracking devices and so on, and is enabling wide-scale surveillance in China. The fears are that it will be used in the same way in Hong Kong. I also express others’ concerns about what is...

Brexit: Consumer Protection (European Union Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note (16 Jan 2019)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...out their “ambitious” plan for post-Brexit relations with the European Union. Three paragraphs of that paper dealt with consumer protection. The Government noted that the UK had a “strong track record” in protecting consumers and repeated their commitment to “maintaining high standards”. The paper concluded: “There should be cooperation on enforcement, including provisions to...

UK Withdrawal from the EU and Potential Withdrawal from the Single Market - Motion to Take Note (26 Jan 2017)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...give such an assurance now is wrong. I have heard from firm Brexiteers that they agree that we should act now and not wait until the triggering of Article 50. We should create a new system of fast-tracking specifically for those from other parts of Europe, and it should not involve the byzantine process that currently exists. We should have a special system for those who were living here...

Higher Education and Research Bill - Second Reading ( 6 Dec 2016)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...back of our taxpayer-funded system, receiving financial incentives from government that we taxpayers will pay for. They will be able to obtain degree-awarding powers, despite having little or no track record. Welcome to the Trump University phenomenon, which others have mentioned. I remind noble Lords of the huge compensation payouts recently received by hundreds of students who have been...

Immigration Bill — Second Reading (Continued) (10 Feb 2014)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...a farce. Proper legal advice has to be available to people who are seeking to make asylum applications, and I am fearful of the implications if that is not available. We pretend that we have a fast-track system. That is not just an abuse of the human beings involved; it is an abuse of the English language—fast it is not. All we hear are claims about abuses of the system and the high...

Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill: Second Reading (22 Oct 2013)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...when there are issues in this Bill that go to the heart of our democracy—for example, freedom of expression and freedom of association. This is not emergency legislation or law that requires fast-tracking. It is wrong that the Government have timetabled this Bill in a way that does not allow us to do our job properly, whether on Select Committees or as Members of this House. This is not...

Leveson Inquiry — Statement (29 Nov 2012)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...re not going to be doing nothing". That is the terrible thing that I feel could easily happen here again. We must not descend again. I would like the Minister-who, as everyone has said, has a great track record on this-to reassure us that he is not going to allow this to become the purview yet again of those masters of the universe who happen to run some sections of our press.

Student Visas — Statement (22 Mar 2011)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...here for the start of a term because the visa process takes such a long time, and that is because the process has become so convoluted. My first question for the noble Earl is: will there be a fast-track system for visa applications for those who are coming to the well established universities in this country? Will there be a method that somehow does not involve the current delays and...

Comprehensive Spending Review: Motion to Take Note (Continued) ( 1 Nov 2010)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: .... Very few people live well on benefits. What politicians learned then was that, in the new world of soundbites and short concentration spans, the replaying of the same loop could create a sound track that stayed in people's heads. Now the coalition's mantra is, "We have to take terrible measures because of the horrifying financial mess we inherited from Labour". Not a speech is made in...

Address in Reply to Her Majesty's Most Gracious Speech (23 May 2005)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...which is the essential component in the system that carries huge risks to our liberty. Future governments of a less benign nature could make frightening use of such a comprehensive and coherent tracking system. The Chinese are currently introducing a new high-tech card that is causing alarm to human rights groups the world over because of the impact on dissidents. We are talking about the...

Criminal Justice Bill (30 Oct 2003)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...people to have a fresh start after an acquittal, the finality that has been part of our system. The feeling that when you leave a court, it is over and you rebuild your life is now stopped in its tracks. We are creating conditional acquittals, a conditional form of verdict, not the proper verdict with which we have always lived. That is what is so terrible about the provision. The...

Criminal Justice (Mode of Trial) (No. 2) Bill (28 Sep 2000)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: .... I spent 20 years of my professional life arguing for a fairer treatment of the victims of crime particularly in those categories. Indeed, the best way of dealing with that is to find ways of fast-tracking such cases and preventing delay. Already we are seeing the benefits of the fast-track system, as my noble friend Lady Mallalieu told the House. I remind the noble and learned Lord only...

Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Bill (19 Jul 2000)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...would greatly concern noble Lords and the community at large. Many people on community service and probation orders have multiple social problems and it is difficult to get their lives back on track. This is not about being paternalistic but about recognising the reality of the problems faced by people who are on probation. Sometimes probation officers are very reluctant to see people lose...

Criminal Justice (Mode of Trial) Bill [H.L.] (20 Jan 2000)

Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws: ...and carrots here that would achieve the same ends. If we want to ensure that victims are well treated within the system, for which I have argued for many years, we could create a system of fast-tracking that would provide a much more effective way of having such cases heard. Soon after coming to this House, I suggested to the noble and learned Lord the Lord Chancellor that it might be...
