Queen’s Speech - Debate (3rd Day) (13 May 2021)

Lord True: My Lords, it is a privilege as always to close another outstanding debate in the House of Lords, although, if noble Lords will allow me, I thought aspects of the personal attack on my right honourable friend the Prime Minister by the noble Lord, Lord Taverne, in terms that would have been ruled out of order in the other place, would probably have been better suited to the Twittersphere than...

Ministerial and other Maternity Allowances Bill - Second Reading: Amendment to the Motion (22 Feb 2021)

Lord True: ...I may be allowed a personal comment, I too was moved by what the noble Lord, Lord Winston, said, because the reason there were seven years between my late brother and me was that my mother was one of the women to whom he referred and, of course, never forgot that. In my life, I have tried to follow the example of that remarkable woman. Part of that example was always that you should listen...

Domestic Abuse Bill - Committee (6th Day): Amendment 164 (10 Feb 2021)

Baroness Williams of Trafford: My Lords, I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Kennedy, that this has been a very good debate. I join noble Lords in commending the noble Baroness, Lady Royall, who has done a huge amount of work in this area and with whom I have worked over several years now. I think she would join me in paying tribute to John Clough—his daughter met her death at the hands of a serial stalker—and his...

Counter-Terrorism and Sentencing Bill - Committee (1st Day): Amendment 12 (26 Jan 2021)

Baroness Prashar: My Lords, the principle aim of the amendment is to ensure that the Parole Board retains its vital role in assessing risk to determine the safe release of terrorist offenders given a serious terrorism sentence or an extended sentence. I am grateful to the noble Lords, Lord Anderson and Lord Ramsbotham, for supporting the amendment. The amendment would remove Clause 27 and replace it with a new...

Legislative Consent Motion on the United Kingdom Internal Market Bill: Continued ( 9 Dec 2020)

David Lloyd: ...Bill today. This Bill essentially takes a sledgehammer to Welsh democracy, totally undermining the devolution settlement by taking back powers in devolved areas and seriously limiting the ability of this Senedd to create any novel legislation in future that does not accord with Westminster's plans. Emboldened by the Brexit referendum vote and the vociferous and divisive campaigning that it...

Lord Chancellor’s Oath and the Rule of Law — [Derek Twigg in the Chair] (14 Oct 2020)

Joanna Cherry: I beg to move, That this House has considered the Lord Chancellor’s oath and the rule of law. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Twigg. I should start by declaring an interest, as a non-practising member of the Scottish Bar, the Faculty of Advocates; as an honorary bencher of the Middle Temple; and as the lead petitioner in the case of Cherry v. Advocate General, in which...

Private International Law (Implementation of Agreements) Bill [Lords]: New Schedule 4 - Regulations under section (Implementation of other agreements on private international law (No. 3)) ( 6 Oct 2020)

Bob Neill: We have had a constructive set of debates on the Bill, and I pay tribute to all Members for the approach that has been adopted. I pay particular tribute to the skill and elan with which the Minister has steered the Bill through the House: he is a credit to our mutual profession. He is certainly no Henry VIII—and I say that in a good way—but of course he and I are both proud members of the...

United Kingdom Internal Market Bill: Clause 11 - Modifications in connection with the Northern Ireland Protocol (21 Sep 2020)

David Linden: This is the first opportunity I have had to speak on the Bill, which I have profound concerns about, so I want to use the early part of my remarks to lay out my clear objections to the Bill. After that, I will seek to address part 5 of the Bill, which is the focus of our line-by-line scrutiny tonight. Like many colleagues from Scotland, I have grave concerns that the Bill is not only a slap...

Scottish Parliament: Sustainable Aviation beyond Covid-19 (16 Sep 2020)

Kenneth Gibson: Mr Bibby talked about manufacturing job losses in the 1980s. He will no doubt therefore wish to condemn the record of Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair, who from 1997 to 2007 presided over the loss of 37 per cent of all Scotland’s manufacturing employment, including 55 per cent of such employment in Ayrshire. I appreciate the fact that Labour MSPs are using their debating slot to discuss the...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members' Business: Race Equality (14 Sep 2020)

Gordon Lyons: I am grateful for the opportunity to respond to some of the concerns that Members have expressed about the current position of the Executive's racial equality strategy. I want to reassure the House that addressing the needs of all of our minority ethnic communities in Northern Ireland is a particularly important matter for us and one that has been and will continue to be a priority. As the...

Jacob Rees-Mogg: Since 1 March 2020, and as of Monday 20 July, the Government has laid 127 statutory instruments in response to the Coronavirus pandemic. This has enabled the Government to swiftly put in place the legislation needed and we will continue to bring forward further SIs for Parliament to consider, as required. The table below provides a list of each SI, outlining the powers it was made under; the...

18. Plaid Cymru Debate: An Independent Wales (15 Jul 2020)

Gareth Bennett: Thank you, Chair, and thanks to Plaid for bringing today's debate. We often hear speakers say at this point, 'On this important subject', well, today's debate, if we look at all the amendments, really is on an important subject, which is: should we continue to have an Assembly or Senedd at all? And the simple answer to that is, 'Yes, we should continue to have it, if it has the democratic...

Domestic Abuse Bill: New Clause 15 - Children as victims of domestic abuse ( 6 Jul 2020)

Nigel Evans: With this it will be convenient to discuss the following: Government new clause 16—Special measures in family proceedings: victims of domestic abuse. Government new clause 17—Special measures in civil proceedings: victims of specified offences. Government new clause 18—Prohibition of cross-examination in person in civil proceedings. Government new clause 20—Consent to serious harm for...

Demonstrations (Abortion Clinics) (24 Jun 2020)

Fiona Bruce: I rise to oppose this Bill and urge colleagues to vote against it, whatever their views on abortion, on several key grounds: its potentially damaging impact on freedom of speech; the fact that we already have sufficient relevant and effective legislation—we do not need more—and because the Government looked into and rejected a Bill of this type less than two years ago In 2018, the then...

Private International Law (Implementation of Agreements) Bill [HL] - Virtual Committee (2nd Day): Amendment 19 ( 3 Jun 2020)

Lord Keen of Elie: My Lords, taken together, the amendments relate broadly to either narrowing the scope of the Clause 2 power or increasing parliamentary scrutiny for use of that power, and I recognise the observations made by a number of noble Lords and noble and learned Lords that this is very much secondary to the opposition expressed to Clause 2 itself. I note the observation of the noble and learned Lord,...

Private International Law (Implementation of Agreements) Bill [HL] - Virtual Committee: Amendment 1 (13 May 2020)

Lord Keen of Elie: ...back. I apologise, but something happened on the computer. We have made the application and it is hoped that, subject to agreement, we will be able to rejoin the Lugano convention from the end of the transition period. I will pause to notice some of the observations made by my noble friend Lady McIntosh of Pickering and the noble Lord, Lord Marks, with reference to Brussels Ia and IIa...

Domestic Abuse Bill (28 Apr 2020)

Nick Thomas-Symonds: I would like to put on record my thanks to you, Mr Deputy Speaker, the Speaker, the House authorities and all staff for facilitating the sitting of the House in these most unusual circumstances. I am grateful to the Lord Chancellor for his welcome. He and I have debated many times at the Dispatch Box in various roles, and I look forward to continuing to do so in future. I also look forward to...

8. Brexit Party Debate: Devolution (26 Feb 2020)

David Melding: I've listened to the contributions. I think they've been thoughtful and entertaining and fanciful. I'm not going to pin the actual description on each speaker. But I do think in any new system of Government, you need to look at the institutions, and the Government is an important institution but the legislature is at least as important. In fact, from the legislature the Executive draws its...
