Abortion (Disability Equality) Bill [HL] - Second Reading (21 Oct 2016)

Lord Alton of Liverpool: My Lords, I support the Abortion (Disability Equality) Bill of the noble Lord, Lord Shinkwin, and congratulate him on bringing this timely piece of legislation to your Lordships’ House and on the eloquent way in which he introduced it. It is hard to overstate my admiration for his courage, his compassion and his integrity. I hope noble Lords will forgive me for saying so, but I cannot help...

House of Lords Bill [HL] - Second Reading (21 Oct 2016)

Lord Elton: .... In response to the Minister, I shall anticipate what I was going to finish by saying. Consensus remains the jewel—the holy grail—that we should try to achieve, and we should not abandon the search at the first difficulty. Time is very much of the essence, and I therefore hope we shall be allowed a Committee. To make that not a complete waste of time, I hope noble Lords will accept my...

Public Bill Committee: Digital Economy Bill: Enforcement of sections 15 and 19 (20 Oct 2016)

Claire Perry: How long has the Committee got to hear about search engines? The hon. Lady raises a fascinating point. It was through a very strong cross-party effort and with the leadership of the former Prime Minister that we got the search engines to do some compelling things. Let me give her an example. It was clear that search engines in Europe were happy to allow terms to be typed in that could only...

Investigatory Powers Bill - Report (3rd Day) (19 Oct 2016)

Lord Paddick: ...on internet connection records. We believe that they are unnecessary and disproportionate, for the reasons that I have articulated in detail throughout the passage of the Bill. I shall just remind your Lordships what internet connection records mean. Internet service providers are being forced to keep a record of every website that everyone in the UK has visited in the last 12 months,...

Education (Merseyside) — [Sir Roger Gale in the Chair] (19 Oct 2016)

Marie Rimmer: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship today, Sir Roger. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool, West Derby (Stephen Twigg) on securing this important debate. I am pleased to see the Minister in his place today. He has previously met me and other Knowsley MPs to discuss the current lack of sixth-form provision in the borough. Perhaps he will comment on progress in...

Investigatory Powers Bill - Report (2nd Day) (17 Oct 2016)

Lord Strasburger: ...clauses so vague as to be open to misuse. As for the concept behind the request filter, it is described by the Home Office as a safeguard, designed to reduce the collateral intrusion produced in searching for small, specific information in a large dataset. Although this is true, the request filter would also allow automated complex searches across retained data from all telecommunications...

3. 2. Business Statement and Announcement (11 Oct 2016)

Jane Hutt: Well, I think, Steffan Lewis, you have raised a very important point about opportunities for bidding appropriately, as I'm sure we would do so, in terms of search an event—and take on board your preference in terms of Newport.

Public Bill Committee: Digital Economy Bill: Examination of Witnesses (11 Oct 2016)

Calum Kerr: Q Thank you. There are some welcome measures in the Bill relating to making the protection of intellectual property online as same as it is offline. I note, though, that there is some concern about search engines and how intellectual property would be policed. What is your view on how that will work? Do there need to be additional powers?

Wales Bill - Second Reading (10 Oct 2016)

My Lords, it is the greatest honour to speak for the first time as a Member of your Lordships’ House. I do so with humility and indeed nervousness, this being only the third working day since my introduction—which means, of course, that for the moment I have a 100% attendance record. I am also proud to speak now as part of the Welsh diaspora; it appears that there are very few of us on...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Ministerial Statements: North/South Ministerial Council: Environment ( 4 Oct 2016)

Michelle McIlveen: With your permission, Mr Speaker, in compliance with section 52 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, I wish to make the following statement on the twenty-second meeting of the North/South Ministerial Council (NSMC) in environment sectoral format, which was held in Armagh on Wednesday 14 September 2016. The statement has been agreed with Minister Hazzard. Chris Hazzard MLA, the Minister for...

Backbench Business: EU Referendum: UK-Ireland Border (19 Jul 2016)

Steve Pound: ...of note one day, Mr Hollobone; I had rather hoped for something of a little more significance, but I will take what I can get. Despite that, it is an absolute delight and a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship. I join the general chorus of approbation in congratulating the hon. Member for Belfast South (Dr McDonnell) on bringing this crucial matter before the House. This will not be...

Backbench Business: Contribution of Poles to UK Society — [Geraint Davies in the Chair] (19 Jul 2016)

Marcus Jones: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Davies. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Shrewsbury and Atcham (Daniel Kawczynski) for securing this important debate, and I thank hon. Members for their many and varied contributions. This has been an extremely good and constructive debate. The Polish contribution to the United Kingdom is absolutely woven into the fabric of our...

Policing and Crime Bill - Second Reading (18 Jul 2016)

Lord Keen of Elie: ...qualified staff with any of the powers of a constable, with the exception of those expressly reserved for warranted officers. This list of “core” powers, such as powers of arrest and stop and search, are the most intrusive. It is right that they continue to be reserved for fully trained police officers. Under these new arrangements, it will also be open to chief officers to designate...

Investigatory Powers Bill - Committee (2nd Day) (13 Jul 2016)

Lord Beith: ...it often was observed in practice and that this was recognised to be a different situation to other interceptions—it played that useful role. However, it was riddled with failings. All it did, if your Lordships read it, was to set out the policy of a particular Government at a particular time. What it of course set out was not that the communications of parliamentarians would never be...

Investigatory Powers Bill - Committee (1st Day) (11 Jul 2016)

Lord Strasburger: ...whether there is enough evidence to pass the first, evidential arm of the threshold test. Such a police investigation could last for months, if not years, and will involve interviews under caution, search warrants and perhaps arrest. That is a real disincentive to investigative journalism. If there is a statutory public interest defence, the police will be able to see at an early stage...

Modern Slavery (Transparency in Supply Chains) Bill [HL] - Second Reading ( 8 Jul 2016)

Lord Keen of Elie: ...not launched an online repository, although we are aware of a number of proposals from third parties who suggest that they could develop a website to host these statements and to help people to search for them. I would like to complete a quotation that the noble Lord, Lord Alton, made regarding an answer I gave in April this year when I said: “There never was an intention to establish...

Broadband in Wales — [Steve McCabe in the Chair] ( 6 Jul 2016)

Chi Onwurah: It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Mr McCabe. It is a great pleasure to respond to the debate for the Opposition. I congratulate the hon. Member for Ceredigion (Mr Williams) on securing this debate on an increasingly important topic. Like the hon. Member for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk (Calum Kerr), I also congratulate him on the tone and content of his opening...

2. 1. Debate on the Queen's Speech ( 6 Jul 2016)

Andrew RT Davies: I welcome the Secretary of State here today. As one who’s sat on the benches with you, I can remember all your ‘hear, hears’ and banging of desks when you were here, but I can see you’re far better behaved now you’ve got to the Secretary of State position. But it is a real warm welcome to you that we extend from the Conservative benches, as it is your first visit as Secretary of...

Artistic Remuneration for Online Content — [Mr James Gray in the Chair] ( 6 Jul 2016)

Kerry McCarthy: It is, as ever, a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Gray. I congratulate the hon. Member for Selby and Ainsty (Nigel Adams) on securing the debate and on all the work that he has been doing with the all-party parliamentary group on music. This issue is of real and growing concern to musicians and has been for some time. As an MP for Bristol, which a fairly recent survey showed...

Historical Child Sex Abuse - Motion to Take Note (30 Jun 2016)

Lord Armstrong of Ilminster: ...certainly need to be very closely considered. I can see that there are difficulties about such guidance, but it is very badly needed. I will confine my comments to the case of Sir Edward Heath. Your Lordships will know that, in the absence of any close relatives of his, I have expressed publicly my view that Sir Edward Heath was not guilty of any criminal offences of child abuse, and that...
