Mike Freer: ...take place quarterly and there have been two meetings to date - the first on 28 October 2022 and the second on 24 January 2023. The CLAAB’s membership currently includes representatives from the Bar Council, the Law Society, Criminal Bar Association, London Criminal Courts Solicitors’ Association, Criminal Law Solicitors’ Association, Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEX)...
Lord Monks: ...a hospital porter, I got £10 per week. It was common for my fellow male workers at the time to give their wives £5 to cover family food and rent while they spent the rest, in too many cases in the pub or on the horses. Many women were trapped, supplementing the family earnings with what was widely called pin money. There is no respectable word for the miserable salaries that they got. Of...
Liam Fox: ...chance to regain some of the profitability lost during that period. However, the 64 parking spaces that were on the seafront have been reduced to barely 30. As the landlord of the Moon and Sixpence pub on Clevedon seafront said to me, “Since this scheme came in, our business has fallen off a cliff.” He is not alone. Other businesses have told me of the problems they are having in...
Will Quince: ...why funding is sitting unallocated, given the bids that have come in. We have to tread carefully because the clinicians and scientists rightly push back, saying that lowering the scientific quality bar for access to scarce public research funds, which would not be won in open competition, is unlikely ultimately to be a good solution. We must get this right, and at the heart of that is...
Liz Twist: ...children develop. Unfortunately, due to the rare nature of some conditions, it can be challenging to develop a large body of evidence to support newborn screening for them, in the light of the high bar set by the UK National Screening Committee. As chair of the all-party parliamentary group on rare, genetic and undiagnosed conditions, I know that Genetic Alliance, which provides our...
Penny Mordaunt: ..., I might add. I can no longer boast that we have had three female Prime Ministers on this side of the House because, happily, female leadership is becoming the norm in all political parties, bar one. For the sake of the hon. Member for Bristol West (Thangam Debbonaire), I hope that changes soon. Let me turn to the hon. Lady’s point about small boats. On civil servants, she will know...
Gillian Keegan: ...and can be delivered to a high standard. As such, there is more work for awarding organisations to do before IfATE and Ofqual can be clear that these T Levels are capable of meeting the high quality bar required by both organisations to enable them to be taken into delivery, and that will not be possible in time for launch this September. This is a decision that has been taken jointly...
Keith Brown: ...reported are harrowing, and they can and should be unsettling—certainly for women and girls, but also, I would hope, for men. The examples include the following: “Being threatened by a man in a pub for not laughing at what he thought was a funny remark.” “I have been called a slut in a car park because I accidentally moved my trolley too close to a man’s car.” “In a club, I...
Lord Murray of Blidworth: ...radically narrow the number of challenges and appeals that can suspend removal. Only those under 18, medically unfit to fly or at real risk of serious and irreversible harm—an exceedingly high bar—in the country we are removing them to will be able to delay their removal. Any other claims will be heard remotely, after removal. When our Modern Slavery Act passed, the impact assessment...
Sarah Jones: The hon. Gentleman has made many good points already this afternoon, and I entirely agree; “more than a minor degree” is way too low a bar to allow these interventions. Many Members and many watching the debate would have fallen foul of this law. The amendment is drawn so widely that it is almost meaningless. As the hon. Gentleman said, when there are protests on Whitehall, near...
Lord Pannick: ...it remains a vital legal protection for individuals and their families. It is a noble scheme that goes some way, although not far enough, towards ensuring that a lack of financial resources is not a bar to access to justice. So it is objectionable in principle for the Bill to propose to remove eligibility, even subject to exceptions, for a category of people who are defined simply by the...
Lord Sharpe of Epsom: ..., foreign charities or other foreign entities entirely out of scope of the scheme. I know that there has also been some debate about what it means to be directed by a foreign power. That is a high bar. Its natural meaning is an order or instruction to act. It could be delivered in the language of a request, but only where there is a power relationship between the person and the foreign...
Suella Braverman: ...appeals that can suspend removal. Only those under 18, medically unfit to fly or at real risk of serious and irreversible harm in the country we are removing them to—that is an exceedingly high bar—will be able to delay their removal. Any other claims will be heard remotely, after removal. When our Modern Slavery Act 2015 passed, the impact assessment envisaged 3,500 referrals a year....
Gavin Newlands: ...at the rural stations closed by the Beeching axe and at how we can apply the lessons learned from the Reston reopening to another area in the south of Scotland. By 2045, every rail line in Scotland bar the West Highland and Far North lines, and the Girvan to Stranraer line, will be fully electrified. That is quite an achievement in a country where modernisation was ignored by this place...
Baroness Katy Clark: ...minister accept that the scale of the disruption that is being faced by islanders is a direct result of the Scottish Government’s failure to adequately invest in new ferries since taking office? Bar the overdue ferries that are being built at Ferguson Marine, there still does not seem to be a strategy. In total, CMAL has examined 650 second-hand ships, most of which were found to be...
Joe FitzPatrick: ...and relatives about behaviour that is damaging to women and puts men at risk of offending. We need to challenge unacceptable behaviours, language and attitudes in our workplace, at home, in the pub and—as we have heard—in our public transport system. I am glad that we are challenging that here today in Parliament. I repeat the call from Police Scotland: please don’t be that guy....
Paul Bristow: Two great organisations in Peterborough, Gemma’s Hearts and the Brotherhood Foundation, exist to try to place more defibrillators in the community, such as those at the Lime Tree pub in Walton and the Chestnuts community centre in Eastfield. How will the community defibrillators fund work with voluntary organisations such as the two that I have mentioned to ensure that we have equitable...
Baroness McIntosh of Pickering: .... I chose to go and practise EU law because every reference was either passed down to London or you could practise EU law in Brussels; there were very few opportunities to practise at the Scottish Bar. But my noble friend must accept that the Scottish system—which, I would hazard a guess, has many advantages over the English system—is based on Roman law. It is based on a system of...
Baroness Brinton: ...provision itself because Ministers can extend it under the delegated power in clause 2.” The point about these two amendments is that they set out a framework including, at the end, a very high bar that both Houses of Parliament must agree the same recommendation to go back to the Minister, which would then ensure that the Minister acted on it. It is not just for debate in Parliament,...
James Cartlidge: The Government is unable to speculate on the content of the Spring Budget, which takes place on 15 March. Since the beer duty escalator ended in 2012, the beer and pub industry have benefitted from beer duty being cut or frozen for 10 out the last 11 fiscal events. In addition to this, on 19 December the Government extended the current alcohol duty freeze by six months to align with the...
