Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill - Committee (4th Day): Amendment 89 (13 Mar 2023)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: ...great argument between Nye Bevan and Herbert Morrison. Herbert Morrison, who had been the leader of the London County Council, which had been the largest hospital authority in the world before the war, argued for local government, while Bevan said that he thought that it would be a second-rate, patchy service. He obviously won the argument, although, by the early 1950s, he had changed his...

Professional Qualifications Bill [HL] - Committee (3rd Day): Amendment 59 (22 Jun 2021)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: ...and how far they afford us an opportunity to scrutinise provisions in the Bill. I believe one solution to the challenges facing the Bill is to sunset the whole Bill. I am putting this forward as a proposition for discussion now between Committee and Report. It is not the only solution. The noble Lord, Lord Lansley, also had an interesting amendment earlier which seeks to deal with the...

European Qualifications (Health and Social Care Professions) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 - Motion to Approve ( 7 Mar 2019)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: My Lords, it is very tempting to follow the noble Lords, Lord Warner and Lord Deben, in their remarks. I do not know whether the noble Lord, Lord Deben, has studied the document issued by the US Government last week on their requirements for a trade deal, but there is a contrast between what Brexiteers told the public about how easy trade deals would be and the demands of the US Government,...

NHS: Reform — Statement (16 Jul 2015)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: ..., and we will certainly work with them on making that possible. Where I urge some caution is in the manner in which the Government are attempting to achieve those changes. The Minister will be aware that the NHS is in a rather fragile state at the moment. A&E performance has been very disappointing in the face of enormous pressures. He will know that primary care services are overwhelmed....

Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill [HL]: Committee (3rd Day)(Continued) (29 Jun 2015)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: My Lords, I warmly welcome my noble friend’s amendment. I read with interest the debate in Committee last Wednesday about this very important issue, which goes right to the heart of the relationship between the combined authority and the National Health Service, and the integrity of the NHS as a national service providing uniformity of services across the nation. Of course, our debate is...

Iraq — Motion to Take Note (26 Sep 2014)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: ...chilling and are often taken against Muslims. As leading British Muslim scholars and imams wrote recently, ISIL is perpetuating, “the worst crimes against humanity. This is not Jihad—it is a war against all humanity”. ISIL’s ideology has nothing to do with the peaceful religion practised by people across the world and by many in our country. It is always a heavy responsibility that...

National Health Service (Procurement, Patient Choice and Competition) (No. 2) Regulations 2013 — Motion to Annul (24 Apr 2013)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: ..., as the Minister has assured us. It will surely be for commissioners to undertake a competitive process in all cases, unless there is no remote possibility of another capable provider coming forward. This will be bureaucratic and very expensive. One question that I want to put to the Minister is why the Government have not set a contract value below which the single provider test will not...

House of Lords (Cessation of Membership) Bill [HL]: Second Reading (29 Jun 2012)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: My Lords, I, too, warmly welcome the Bill and I hope that we can agree to send it to the other place as soon as possible after due scrutiny. I commend the noble Lord, Lord Steel, on explaining to the House in his introductory remarks that his Bill is neutral concerning the Government's Bill in the sense that it is neither complementary nor competitive. It should be treated on its merits as a...

Draft House of Lords Reform Bill: Motion to Take Note (2nd Day) ( 1 May 2012)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: ...certainly affect the balance of power between the two Houses. We heard the noble Lord, Lord Ashdown, say yesterday that he would like an elected second Chamber to be able to veto the UK going to war. We heard a statesmanlike speech from the noble Lord, Lord True, but even he, too, talked about Houses that are co-equal. The problem that we have comes back to Clause 2 of the draft Bill,...

House of Lords: Reform — Motion to Take Note (2nd Day) (Continued) (22 Jun 2011)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: ...? My clear understanding of the term, which comes from the world of professional regulation, particularly in the health service, is that experienced professionals in an unregulated profession go forward to a new professional register on the basis of experience. The term grandfathering is in the coalition agreement, which on my reckoning would rule out both options one and three. I would be...

Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]: Committee (7th Day) ( 9 Mar 2009)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: ...interest in the sea, and it is important to make that point. Although there will be tensions we should not think that all the users of the sea and those interested in conservation will always be at war with each other. Surely we want to do everything we can to ensure that there is consensus and that conservation needs are fully considered. We also need to take into account the impact on...

Second Reading (Continued) (15 Dec 2008)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: ...of the time in which it had to operate. I am extremely grateful to him and to the members of the committee for their work. The noble Lord, Lord Greaves, referred to something I am completely unaware of—a departmental turf war in Whitehall. I have the great honour to be a Minister in both the Department of Energy and Climate Change and in Defra, and, although the Bill is sponsored by...

Britishness (19 Jun 2008)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: ...and we are all grateful to him for allowing us to have what has been a fine debate. When he mentioned paradise, I thought that he was referring to God's own city and, indeed, he was. He, too, is a Warwickshire supporter but, alas, he went wrong by turning left towards Villa Park instead of St Andrews. It was interesting to hear the noble Lord's description of his father's experiences on...

Constitution (25 Mar 2008)

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: My Lords, I am not unaware of my noble friend's strong views on this matter. He is absolutely right that, of course, war powers or international treaties must be subject to deliberation about a relationship between the two Houses were this House to be substantially or 100 per cent elected. However, I say to my noble friend that there is no reason why one cannot have a substantially elected...
