European Union (Future Relationship) Bill - Second Reading (and remaining stages): Amendment to the Motion (30 Dec 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: My Lords, it is a privilege to speak in this historic debate today. It is also a relief to be here after four and half years. I congratulate my right honourable friend the Prime Minister, my noble friend Lord Frost, the UK negotiating team and the EU negotiating team on reaching this deal in the teeth of a pandemic which made the negotiations so very challenging. But as the coronavirus has...

Online Harms Consultation - Statement (16 Dec 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: My Lords, it was very welcome to see the Government’s response published yesterday, and I offer my congratulations to my noble friend and her fellow Ministers for doing so when so much else is going on. The misinformation about the Covid vaccine demonstrates just why these proposals need to be put into law as soon as possible. How soon will the Bill be ready to be published? Will we see it...

Brain Tumour Research - Question (19 Nov 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: My Lords, brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, and I am grateful to hear my noble friend’s acknowledgement that research funding is not yet enough. Does he agree with the proposal to change the system so that if a site-specific brain tumour grant is deemed fundable by a panel, it will automatically be funded during a highlighted brain...

Covid-19 Update - Statement ( 3 Nov 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: My Lords, as part of Saturday night’s slide presentation, the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Adviser made it clear that the Covid-19 hospital admissions rate is the key factor in deciding on a new national lockdown now. Has the bed and ventilator capacity offered by the Nightingale hospitals been taken into account when calculating admission rates compared to the last peak and...

Online Harms: Intimate Images - Question (28 Oct 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to protect those threatened with the sharing of intimate images online.

Online Harms: Intimate Images - Question (28 Oct 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: I thank my noble friend for that Answer, but I do not think that it is clear that threats to share intimate images online are covered in law. We know that perpetrators of domestic abuse are increasingly using technology and the internet to abuse and control their partners and ex-partners. One in seven young women has experienced this form of abuse. The abuse is happening now. I urge...

Gender Recognition Act Consultation - Commons Urgent Question (25 Sep 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: My Lords, I recognise that the Government want a kinder and more straightforward process. I understand that there are to be more gender clinics. Can the Minister shed any more light on when those clinics will become operational and whether they really will help those people waiting to go through gender reassignment surgery?

UCAS End of Cycle Report 2019 - Question ( 8 Sep 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: My Lords, the Government’s levelling-up commitments are rightly not just about regional growth but about people. Does the Minister agree that improving educational outcomes for poor white boys should be a specific part of the levelling-up commitments and a measurable part of those commitments?

Covid-19: Debt Collection - Question (23 Jul 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: I am sure that my noble friend is hearing the strength of view on this issue. I hope that he has seen the letter that 55 cross-party Peers and Members of Parliament wrote to the Government at the end of May to support the CSJ report. Is there more that the Government could do, not just to encourage local authorities to show appropriate sensitivity in relation to these bills, but to require...

Telecommunications Infrastructure (Leasehold Property) Bill - Report: Amendment 5 (29 Jun 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: My Lords, I thank your Lordships for the opportunity to speak in this important part of the debate. I agree with much of what the previous four speakers have said with great power and conviction, although I reach a different conclusion from theirs on this amendment. This House and the other House are signalling to the Government that both this issue and broader ones—such as the UK’s...

Covid-19: Test and Trace App - Private Notice Question (22 Jun 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: Has this experience prompted broader reflection in government about the influence of big tech companies in so many spheres of our lives? Has it prompted a need and desire for proper regulation of those companies now to be brought to bear?

Covid-19: Economy - Motion to Consider ( 4 Jun 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: My Lords, I have three points to raise. The first is about support for the cultural and creative industries, but that has already been very articulately outlined by noble Lords on all sides during this debate. I look forward to the Minister’s response on that matter. Of course we all want to restore our economy, but our cultural and creative sectors make our lives worth living. They are an...

Telecommunications Infrastructure (Leasehold Property) Bill - Virtual Committee (1st Day): Amendment 9 (19 May 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: I thank noble Lords for the opportunity to speak on this Bill. I will speak to Amendments 9 and 14, but, as I did not speak at Second Reading and before I get to Amendment 9, it is important to set out some context. I am pleased to see that both Houses are now focusing on business other than the current virus crisis. We have already been reminded today that our democracy is dependent on fast...

Covid-19: Restrictions - Question (18 May 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: My Lords, as we have just heard, 2.5 million people have been advised to stay at home, often on the basis of just a text message or a letter from the NHS. Perhaps I may press my noble friend a little further on the details of the review: how it will be conducted; whether there are any timelines; and when the up to 2.5 million people might be given further guidance about whether they really...

Charitable and Voluntary Sector - Motion to Take Note (30 Apr 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: My Lords, it is a pleasure to take part in this important debate. I know from my time in the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport how important civil society is and how hard the Minister and her colleagues will have worked with Treasury Ministers to put together the support package for charities already announced, which is very welcome, and the other schemes referred to. In the...

Covid-19: Business Interruption Loans - Question (22 Apr 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: My Lords, no one can doubt the Government’s commitment to bridging and helping SMEs bridge these particular unprecedented circumstances but, to follow on from the question from the noble Lord, Lord Fox, what are the Government doing to work closely with the British Business Bank and encourage it to dramatically widen the circle of lenders and, in particular, to embrace the UK’s fintech...

Cairncross Review - Question for Short Debate ( 6 Feb 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: My Lords, I thank your Lordships for this afternoon’s debate. I congratulate the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, on bringing this important issue before the House. Given how popular it has been and the expertise on all sides, I am sorry in many ways that this has been a short debate, but I am sure that we will return to these issues over the forthcoming months. I want to thank all those who...

UK Telecommunications - Statement (28 Jan 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: I thank the noble Lord. His latter point picks up on some of the points he made yesterday afternoon, when I was also standing in this position. To start with his first question, on the cost of compliance, thanks to the Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Centre oversight board, there are already costs incurred of monitoring the use of Huawei technology in our networks. I cannot give him a...

UK Telecommunications - Statement (28 Jan 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: I thank the noble Lord very much indeed for his points, which are based on great experience. He is right that we talked yesterday about the expected strategic defence and security review. While of course the decision took account of wider factors, as I have said, this is a decision about the telecom supply chain in this country, where the rollout of speedier connectivity is already happening...

UK Telecommunications - Statement (28 Jan 2020)

Baroness Morgan of Cotes: I thank my noble friend very much indeed. He has boiled it down to a very simple point. He is absolutely right to say that we have taken the decision that is right for the United Kingdom, while, of course, listening to the views of allies around the world, including the United States. It is important that we make the right decision for the UK, for our connectivity and future networks. We are...
