Kensington and Chelsea: Electoral Register ( 6 Dec 1999)

Lord Trefgarne: asked Her Majesty's Government: How many hereditary Peers who lost the right to sit and vote in the House of Lords on the enactment of the House of Lords Act are on the electoral register in the Kensington and Chelsea parliamentary constituency but were not entitled to vote in the recent by-election.

Kensington and Chelsea: Electoral Register ( 6 Dec 1999)

Lord Trefgarne: My Lords, while I confess to some disappointment in that reply, is it not reasonable to assume that a considerable proportion of them were indeed noble Lords who are no longer entitled to sit and vote in your Lordships' House? Does that not make a mockery of the assurances given by different Ministers during the passage of the House of Lords Bill?

Millennium Wheel (18 Jan 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: asked Her Majesty's Government: What is the maximum wind strength which the Millennium Wheel (London Eye) has been designed to withstand (a) when stationary and (b) when in use.

Millennium Wheel (18 Jan 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: My Lords, I am most grateful for that very helpful reply. However, is it not the case that there has been a good deal of disappointment about the condition of the Millennium Wheel and can the Minister now tell us when it is likely to go into full service?

Millennium Wheel (18 Jan 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: My Lords, in view of the possible mishaps to which the noble Lord has alluded, can the Minister say whether the liability of British Airways to its potential passengers is unlimited or whether it is restricted by some international convention?

Equality for Women (27 Jan 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: asked Her Majesty's Government: What are their achievements in the pursuit of equality for women.

Equality for Women (27 Jan 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: My Lords, I am grateful to the Leader of the House for that reply. Does not she agree that the Government's achievements in this area are in no way enhanced by exaggeration or error? Has the attention of the noble Baroness been drawn to a recent report from the Women's National Commission, chaired by the noble Baroness, Lady Crawley, where, on page 11, it claims that this Government include...

Register of Lords' Interests (10 May 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: My Lords, I think it is important to emphasise that our debate today is about the mechanics of any inquiry, not the principles. Back in 1994 when the Committee on Standards in Public Life was first set up under the chairmanship of the noble and learned Lord, Lord Nolan, your Lordships swiftly, and in my view rightly, moved to set up a Select Committee under the noble and learned Lord, Lord...

Register of Lords' Interests (10 May 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: My Lords, I accept that. However, were the noble Lord to think that he needed additional representation on his committee, I dare say the Prime Minister would move to meet his wishes. I say again that I have absolutely no problem with an inquiry five years on into the arrangements established following the recommendations of the noble Lord, Lord Griffiths. I regret that the inquiry is being...

Employers: Family Friendly Policies (17 May 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: My Lords, is there no end to the list of absurd propositions for directors of major companies? Would it not be better to reduce the list of things to which they have to adhere?

Higher Education (14 Jun 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: My Lords, I only wish to make the shortest of interventions in this debate. I must start by thanking my noble friend, Lord Baker, for introducing the debate in such an articulate and effective way. I must also declare an interest as the paid chairman of the Engineering and Marine Training Authority, the national training organisation for engineering manufacture. Several of your Lordships have...

Austria (27 Jun 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: asked Her Majesty's Government: Whether the Government of Austria have fulfilled any of the criteria laid down by the European Union for the resumption of normal relations.

Austria (27 Jun 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Baroness for that reply. Perhaps I may ask two supplementary questions. First, can she tell the House which other nation in the world has been subjected to the kind of measures that we, with our European allies, have taken against Austria? Secondly, does she not agree that, whatever one may think of the political situation in that country, it is a classic...

Transport Bill ( 6 Jul 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: moved Amendment No. 2: Page 1, line 12, after ("aircraft") insert (", whether or not operated for the purposes of hire and reward,").

Transport Bill ( 6 Jul 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: In moving this amendment, I speak also to Amendment No. 13. My amendments are grouped with others. No doubt noble Lords responsible for tabling those amendments will wish to speak to them. I declare an interest. I have been involved in general aviation and other categories of aviation for most of my working life. Today I speak about general aviation. It is my experience in that regard that I...

Transport Bill ( 6 Jul 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: I confess that I did not write a letter to the chairman of NATS at the time. I am not sure whether he would want to bother himself with letters from individual pilots.

Transport Bill ( 6 Jul 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: I can assure both noble Lords that the point I make has been represented to NATS over and over again. In answer to the earlier intervention, I confess that it is not my representations to NATS that I wish to take into account. I believe that the problem is caused by financial considerations imposed by NATS which will be made worse by the provisions of the Bill. My amendment asks the CAA and...

Transport Bill ( 6 Jul 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: Before I withdraw my amendment, which I am minded to do, I hope that the Minister will not mind if I press him a little more on the example that I gave. It was meant to be only an example, but I fear that it is a glaring example of a failure of the present system. I apologise for having to put this in plain terms, but the service provided by controllers to general aviation in the area of...

Transport Bill ( 6 Jul 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: The Minister says that consideration has been given to that problem. If he will undertake to write to me at the outcome of that consideration, I shall be happy to withdraw my amendment.

Transport Bill ( 6 Jul 2000)

Lord Trefgarne: I am most grateful. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
