Financial Risk Checks for Gambling — [Sir Edward Leigh in the Chair] (26 Feb 2024)

George Freeman: ...children. Even more clever, my son decided to take my daughter’s advice, because she knows about horses, and he looked at the odds, because he knows about numbers, and they put £5 each way on Galileo Gold, who stormed to victory. They learned a lot that day about gambling. They saw people who had drunk too much and who were losing too much. They didn’t. I took the money and gave it to...

6. Debate on petition P-06-1337 'Sycharth, the home of Owain Glyndŵr, should be bought to safeguard the site for future generations' (13 Sep 2023)

Mabon ap Gwynfor: ...from all of the greats across the world, over the previous 1,000 years, it was adjudged that Owain Glyndŵr was one of the most important, with Glyndŵr seventh on that international list, ahead of Galileo, Isaac Newton, Abraham Lincoln, and many, many others. At that time, the late Dr John Davies stated:

Education (Non-religious Philosophical Convictions) Bill [HL] - Second Reading ( 3 Feb 2023)

Lord Griffiths of Burry Port: ...went on a European tour as a young man, with the sole objective of meeting all the humanist thinkers in Europe. He started in Paris and went off to Italy—Sicily, Rome, Florence and Venice. He met Galileo in Florence and was lionised by Europe; I wish there were more British people lionised by Europe in our day. For all that, he was a humanist because Christianity itself should understand...

International Students: Contribution to the UK ( 2 Nov 2022)

Carol Monaghan: ...of those institutions is not guaranteed. That is not just about the money that we get from Horizon Europe, it is about the rich collaborations with organisations such as Euratom, Copernicus and Galileo. As a result of Brexit, EU students are now forced to pay international student fees and, as a result, we have seen a 73% decline in EU students coming to the UK. That is a huge hit to us...

Global Positioning System - Question (26 Apr 2022)

Lord West of Spithead: ...the impact of the loss of PNT is almost existential. Banking, trade transactions and all areas of transport and food supply would all be affected and in complete chaos. The signals from GPS and Galileo are very vulnerable. The strength of those signals is less than some of the cosmic signals coming from the stars. They can therefore be intercepted and adjusted very easily; the Chinese and...

Written Answers — Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Galileo System ( 4 Apr 2022)

Lord West of Spithead: To ask Her Majesty's Government when they expect the Galileo PRS system to be fully operational.

Education: School Buildings: Refurbishment (14 Mar 2022)

Jacob Young: ...Minister will know of Westgarth Primary School in Marske, which is in desperate need of urgent building works. May I invite him to visit Redcar and Cleveland in the near future, to meet me and the Galileo Trust to see what can be done to support the school, its pupils and its fantastic teachers?

Hare Coursing Bill (21 Jan 2022)

Rebecca Pow: ...coalition, which has already been mentioned today—I have met its members for a roundtable talk about the issues—and to the police: I pay tribute to Chief Inspector Phil Vickers for Operation Galileo, and to the National Wildlife Crime Unit, which we have supported through DEFRA and the Home Office and continue to do so, particularly on my watch. We now have 32 police forces joining...

Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill - Report (6th Day): Amendment 109G (17 Jan 2022)

Lord Sharpe of Epsom: ...around the House on the operations and the work of police forces, in particular—although it is always invidious to single anybody out—Lincolnshire police, who have been leading on Operation Galileo. In answer to the specific question from the noble Baroness, Lady Hayman, I cannot comment on police staffing, but I am sure that rural police forces will warmly welcome these amendments and...

Hertfordshire Green Belt: National Planning Policy: Multi-academy Trusts: Ofsted (23 Nov 2021)

Peter Kyle: .... Six months ago, they were anti-face masks. A year or two ago, they were anti-covid altogether, believing it was all fake news. If they were alive 350 years ago, they would have been calling for Galileo to be burned at the stake for saying the earth revolves around the sun. We went through the scientific revolution, we went through the Enlightenment, in this country so that we could not...

Public Bill Committee: Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill: Clause 1 - Duties of registered higher education providers (15 Sep 2021)

Matt Western: ..., rather than falling into those narrow categories. The right hon. Member for South Holland and The Deepings expanded on that point, and said that it would be valuable to include that, mentioning Galileo and Darwin, who conducted innovative research centuries. The two go hand in hand. Think about Rosalind Franklin and the ground-breaking work she did in the face of a counter-view in...

Public Bill Committee: Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill: Examination of Witness (13 Sep 2021)

...That is a stupid view, but it is a lawful view. Are we protecting that as academic freedom? My third case would be very extreme conspiracy theories. Here we have a real dilemma. We know about Galileo, Darwin and so on, but when it comes to 9/11 “Truthers” and people who have David Icke’s view of covid—that it does not exist anywhere; it is just a plot by Bill Gates—where is the...

Climate Change: Wales: Space Debris (14 Jul 2021)

Chi Onwurah: ...launchpad for future growth and for leadership in the space debris domain. The UK and its place in the world are changing. We have left the European Union, which meant turning our back on the Galileo project that we did so much to bring about, at an estimated cost of £1.2 billion to the taxpayer. The Government then U-turned on plans to develop a rival, sovereign GNSS system, at a cost of...

Public Bill Committee: Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill: New Clause 69 - Poaching of game (24 Jun 2021)

Robert Goodwill: ...Alliance, the Tenant Farmers Association and the Kennel Club. The changes are also supported by officers working on the police’s national approach to hare coursing, which is known as Operation Galileo. Police have begun to investigate the links between hare coursing and organised crime. In September 2018, Thomas Jaffray was jailed for 13 years and four months after being found guilty of...

Learned Societies at Burlington House ( 8 Jun 2021)

Tim Loughton: ...copies of the Magna Carta and iconic items entrusted to the societies to keep safe for the British public, and to foster both academic and public understanding of our heritage. There are works by Galileo, Copernicus and Newton. The Society of Antiquaries, the Geological Society and the Linneans are the oldest of their kind in the whole world. The Society of Antiquaries has been an...

Written Answers — Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Galileo System: Expenditure (24 May 2021)

Lord Vinson: To ask Her Majesty's Government what was the total cost to the UK of its participation in the Galileo satellite navigation system; and how much of this was recovered as an offset to the settlement cost of the UK leaving the European Union.

STEM Subjects: Science and Discovery Centres — [Mrs Maria Miller in the Chair] (24 Mar 2021)

Matt Western: ...from observing the world around us and asking why or how. Those reflections can spur deep thought as we ponder the natural world and have spurred, through the centuries, the work of Archimedes, Galileo, Leonardo da Vinci, and, closer to home, that of Newton, Mary Anning, Charles Darwin, and countless others—all by asking the simple question of why. The UK has a proud history of science...

Global Navigation Satellite System - Question (10 Mar 2021)

Lord West of Spithead: My Lords, the outrageous behaviour of our European friends over the use of the Galileo system necessitates our going our own way, or in league with the Five Eyes community, our real friends, over the provision of additional GPS. Such a system is critical, as the Minister says, not just for defence and security but for a broad swathe of things in this country. There are real concerns over...

UK Space Industry ( 4 Feb 2021)

Chi Onwurah: ...makes it an excellent launch pad for future growth, with the right leadership. The UK and its place in the world is changing. We have left the European Union, which meant turning our back on the Galileo project that we did so much to bring about, at a cost of £1.2 billion to the taxpayer. The Government then U-turned on their plans to develop a rival sovereign satellite system, at a cost...

Freedom of Speech (Universities) (19 Jan 2021)

David Davis: ...the refusal of platforms to people they disagree with is damaging to us all. Imagine if their censorious predecessors in the established Churches had been successful in their attempts to supress Galileo and Darwin. People would still believe that the Earth is the centre of the universe or that the human species was created on the sixth day from clay. Of course, those ideas are ridiculous,...
