Common Frameworks (Common Frameworks Scrutiny Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note (2 Feb 2023)
Lord Garnier: ...this subject or the preservation of the union as seriously as I think they should have done. I fully accept that much of my disappointment goes back to the days when my right honourable friend Mr Boris Johnson was Prime Minister—a political interlude on which I do not intend to dwell—and now that we have a serious-minded, hard-working and assiduous Prime Minister, and the wheels are...
EU: Trade in Goods (European Affairs Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note (2 Feb 2023)
Lord Rogan: ...not be treated differently to the rest of the United Kingdom should the country decide to leave the European Union. Fast forward to December 2019 when Vote Leave’s chief advocate, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, told Sky News: “There’s no question of there being checks on goods going from Northern Ireland to Great Britain or Great Britain to Northern Ireland.” Twelve months later, Mr...
Prime Minister: Engagements (1 Feb 2023)
Keir Starmer: ...than the his leadership. Even I could not quite believe it when I saw that his Government are expecting taxpayers to pay the legal fees for the right hon. Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson) to defend himself over his lockdown rule breaking—a quarter of a million pounds! Surely even this Prime Minister can put his foot down, stand up to his old boss and tell him: he...
Non-domicile Tax Status (31 Jan 2023)
Stewart Hosie: ...London and Westminster are or were non-doms. That presumably explains why, in 2015, when changes were proposed, the then Mayor of London—now the right hon. Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson) and discredited former Prime Minister—described them as being part of an “anti-London agenda”. I would describe them as part of a tax fairness agenda, but, for Tories,...

Scottish Parliament: Brexit and Workers’ Rights (31 Jan 2023)
Jenni Minto: ...benefits of Brexit that the vote leave campaign promoted were simply an illusion. However, sadly, those myths continue to be perpetrated. When he signed the Brexit trade deal, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson declared that Britain would be “prosperous, dynamic and contented”. In reality, Brexit has crippled the economy of the UK—the only member of the G7, as has been said, whose...

Britishvolt (25 Jan 2023)
Ian Lavery: ...up is all about. In fact, I can’t think of a project that demonstrates levelling up better than this one.” The then Prime Minister, the right hon. Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson), claimed: “Britishvolt’s plan to build a new gigafactory in Northumberland is a strong testament to the skilled workers of the North East and the UK’s place at the helm of the...
Prime Minister: Engagements (25 Jan 2023)
Rishi Sunak: ...I stand by my values and my principles, even when it is difficult. When I disagreed fundamentally with the previous Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson), I resigned from the Government, but for four long years, he sat next to the right hon. Member for Islington North (Jeremy Corbyn) when antisemitism ran rife and his predecessor...
Restoring Your Railway Fund — [Judith Cummins in the Chair] (24 Jan 2023)
Kevin Foster: ...pledge into £500 million for the restoring your railway programme to deliver the manifesto commitment, which I know was firm when my right hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson) was Prime Minister. I know the Minister will be keen to repeat it today. I want to ensure that the commitment remains firm not because I am sentimental about the days when steam...
Trade (Australia and New Zealand) Bill - Committee: Amendment 3 (23 Jan 2023)
Lord Purvis of Tweed: ...the protective measures. They have indicated that this could go wrong and therefore that protective measures could be triggered. The NFU is quite clear that they are insufficient; nevertheless, Boris Johnson and others have said that there are protective measures and that we need not worry. So we need to know the baseline information about that—it needs to be transparent and...
Ministerial Appointments: Vetting and Managing Conflicts of Interest (23 Jan 2023)
John Nicolson: Here is what we know about the appointment of the BBC chair. The BBC chair Richard Sharp helped to arrange a £600,000 loan for the right hon. Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson), weeks before he was chosen by the former Prime Minister to become BBC chair. Mr Sharp appeared before the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, on which I sit. We grilled him about his...
Shark Fins Bill (20 Jan 2023)
Alex Sobel: ...fins. We continue to be a significant importer of shark fins, but I hope that that will end after today. In 2021, the outgoing Prime Minister, the right hon. Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson), announced a world-leading ban on what he correctly described as a “barbaric” practice. That ban was in line with the 2019 Conservative manifesto and the Government response...
The Union (Constitution Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note (20 Jan 2023)
Lord Howarth of Newport: ...with good grace, as devolution was by the Labour Government in 1998, growing nationalism and separatism need not have followed. Respect and co-operation are not mechanisms but attitudes. For Boris Johnson as Prime Minister to describe devolution as a “disaster” was gratuitously offensive and foolish. For another Prime Minister, Liz Truss, to have publicly dismissed the First Minister...
Employment (Allocation of Tips) Bill (20 Jan 2023)
Simon Baynes: ...Llanarmon; The Boat at Erbistock; the Corn Mill in Llangollen; Gales Wine Bar, famously often frequented by a former Prime Minister, my right hon.

There are many more I...
Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (European Affairs Committee Sub-Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note (20 Jan 2023)
Lord Liddle: ...perspective and has not taken into account as fully as it should the complexities of the Northern Ireland situation. Do noble Lords think that our Government actually pointed that out? Boris Johnson certainly did not; he was only too anxious to sign off on this protocol agreement in order to “get Brexit done”. He did not give a—sorry, I was about to swear there. He did not care one...
The Importance of the Relationship Between the United Kingdom and India - Motion to Take Note (19 Jan 2023)
Lord Bilimoria: ...“Quad-plus”, thus circling the world. We need large prime ministerial delegations. I have been on every single delegation, under Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Theresa May, but Boris Johnson did not take a delegation—there were only two of us from India present. I suggest that Rishi Sunak takes one; we should do that as soon as possible. On the one hand, we have the...
Addendum: Lord Soley’s Valedictory Speech (19 Jan 2023)
Lord Soley: ...him on, was that the Labour Party was an organised conspiracy to stay out of power. I can now tell noble Lords, with some considerable pleasure, that there is a bit of role reversal going on. Since Boris Johnson and Liz Truss appeared on the scene, I actually do think that the boot is now on the other foot, if that is the right simile. The Tory Party has deep divisions in it. I shall not...
Jagtar Singh Johal (19 Jan 2023)
Leo Docherty: ...counterpart Dr Jaishankar during his visit to India last October. During visits to India earlier in 2022, the then Prime Minister, my right hon.

Friend the Member for South West Norfolk (Elizabeth Truss), also raised this case with Prime Minister Modi and Dr Jaishankar. As I...
