Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill (24 May 2023)

Michael Tomlinson: ...Hoare), who I will, of course, come back to in due course. I thank my right hon. Friend the Member for Chelmsford (Vicky Ford), as well as my hon. Friend the Member for Bassetlaw (Brendan Clarke-Smith) for his remarks as a dedicated Brexiteer. I will, as I must, come back to my right hon. Friend the Member for North East Somerset (Mr Rees-Mogg) and try to engage with the points that he...

Aviation Banning Orders (Disruptive Passengers) (24 May 2023)

Gareth Johnson: ...the House. Question put and agreed to. Ordered, That Gareth Johnson, Jim Shannon, Mrs Heather Wheeler, Michael Fabricant, Tim Loughton, Chris Grayling, Craig Mackinlay, Sir David Evennett and Henry Smith present the Bill. Gareth Johnson accordingly presented the Bill. Bill read the First time; to be read a Second time on Friday 24 November, and to be printed (Bill 316).

Sub-postmasters and Sub-postmistresses: Remuneration (23 May 2023)

Alistair Carmichael: ...did not trust those at the sharp end of the businesses. As I have dealt with constituency cases relating to Horizon and seen some of the more recent advents, such as the bonus payment paid to Nick Read, the chief executive of the Post Office—in an act of utter tone-deafness—my concern is that the culture remains unchanged. If it has changed, it has not changed to the extent or at the...

Animal Welfare (Responsibility for Dog Attacks) (23 May 2023)

Anna Firth: ...a pound of cure”, The Bill seeks to address all those issues. First, amending the Animal Welfare Act to criminalise fatal dog-on-dog attacks would extend the same protection to pet dogs that already exist for service, guide and assistance dogs. Pet dogs are as important to humans as service dogs. Indeed, when it comes to mental health, all dogs are service dogs. Secondly, Emilie’s law...

Child Support (Enforcement) Bill - Second Reading (19 May 2023)

Baroness Stedman-Scott: ...with child maintenance. My first ministerial visit was to Gingerbread, and what a baptism of fire that was. I learned more in the couple of hours I spent there than I probably would have just by reading books and papers. It became very clear to me that some paying parents would do anything they could to avoid accepting responsibility for their children. Noble Lords would not believe the...

Equipment Theft (Prevention) Bill - Second Reading (19 May 2023)

Lord Blencathra: ...every single Bill going through this House, the Labour Whips have given her the job of handling some of it. The Bill comes from the other place, and is the initiative of my honourable friend Greg Smith MP, who started this process with a 10-minute rule Bill in 2021. I make no apologies for lifting verbatim large parts of his Second Reading speech, since I simply cannot improve on it. Since...

Victims and Prisoners Bill (15 May 2023)

Rosie Duffield: ...feel as though we have neon signs above our heads, flashing away and marking us out as weak, naive or stupid enough to have ignored the signs that led us to be treated so badly. I wince whenever I read that description of myself, despite knowing that it was not stupidity or weakness and that actually anyone could find themselves in a similar situation. There are many women who grow up with...

Business of the House (11 May 2023)

John Spellar: Earlier, the Leader of the House rightly commended the Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill of the hon. Member for Crawley (Henry Smith) and the Government’s support for it. That Bill was carried by this House on 17 March, and had its First Reading in the House of Lords on 20 March, but has made no further progress since then, giving rise, I am afraid, to concerns that it is...

Public Bill Committee: Data Protection and Digital Information (No. 2) Bill: Examination of Witnesses (10 May 2023)

Jacob Smith: Thanks for the question. To take the second part first, we argue that the Bill does not strike the right balance between protecting national security and upholding data and privacy rights. We have three main concerns with how the Bill sets out that balance at the moment, and they come from clauses 24 to 26. We have this altered regime of national security certificates for when...

Illegal Migration Bill - Second Reading: Amendment to the Motion (10 May 2023)

Lord Alton of Liverpool: ...and bicameral consensus and support. Last week, with my noble and learned friend Lady Butler-Sloss and the noble Lord, Lord McColl of Dulwich, we spent an hour with Lady May and Sir Iain Duncan Smith. I hope that when the Minister replies, he will explain why their amendment on trafficking victims, alluded to by the noble Lord, Lord Forsyth, in his remarks, has not been accepted. Let us be...

Cladding Remediation Works (Code of Practice) ( 9 May 2023)

Tom Hunt: ...these companies, which are morally responsible, are held to account. I hope that this ten-minute rule Bill will get the support of the House and everyone in this place, and that it secures a Second Reading. One way or another, whether or not it is through this Bill, the key thing for me is that we put safeguards in place to make sure that there are no more St Francis Towers ever again,...

Greater London Authority Act 1999 (Amendment) ( 3 May 2023)

Theresa Villiers: ...ULEZ expansion is likely to have only a minor or negligible beneficial impact on air pollution, so it is completely unacceptable for a £12.50 a day charge to be levied on my constituents who are already grappling with the worst cost of living pressures for many years. ULEZ has been tolerated in inner London because it has one of the most extensive public transport systems in the world....

Migrants: Housing - Question ( 3 May 2023)

Lord Alton of Liverpool: My Lords, has the Minister had the chance to read the debate in another place and the amendments moved by his right honourable friends Theresa May MP and Sir Iain Duncan Smith MP, specifically to retain the protections for people who have been victims of human trafficking within the United Kingdom? Does he intend, when he speaks at Second Reading of the Bill next week, to give assurances to...

Scottish Parliament: Governing Party (Transparency) ( 3 May 2023)

Elizabeth Smith: ...of public interest. Just yesterday, The Times reported on the Finance and Public Administration Committee’s inquiry into the efficacy of Scottish Government decision making. It does not make good reading for the Scottish Government, not just because too much decision making has been seen by senior civil servants and former senior ministers to be “rushed, unclear and unstructured” but...

Gambling Act Review White Paper (27 Apr 2023)

Ronnie Cowan: I welcome the statement, although I have not had time to read the 250 pages of the White Paper. I am sure that the devil will be in the detail. I am not as enamoured of this statement as other Members seem to be. I am delighted that our hard work has been recognised, and it is important today that we recognise the hard work of the campaigners, the people with lived experience and the people...

Network Rail: Funding and Reliability - Question (26 Apr 2023)

Baroness Smith of Newnham: My Lords, the Minister in responding to my noble friend Lady Randerson’s supplementary question said, “Don’t believe what you read in the press”, and that this was not a leak, simply some work-in-progress from a mid-ranking official. Could she then confirm to the House that it is the view of His Majesty’s Government that Network Rail has sufficient funding for the next five years to...

Illegal Migration Bill: New Clause 17 - Serious Harm Suspensive Claims: Interpretation (26 Apr 2023)

Alison Thewliss: I will speak to the amendments that stand in my name and those of my hon. Friends. It is interesting to follow the right hon. Member for Chingford and Woodford Green (Sir Iain Duncan Smith). Given his concerns about the Bill, I hope that he will join us in the Division Lobby later, because I do not expect that he will get the assurances that he hopes for from the Minister. The Bill remains...

Public Office (Child Sexual Abuse) (18 Apr 2023)

Alexander Stafford: ...abuse offences, including “facilitating” under section 14 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, should be allowed to run for elected office or hold any public position of authority. Just as we already disqualify those serving long prison sentences or those who are bankrupt, the Bill would extend the powers to stop certain individuals from holding office. Hon. Members would be forgiven for...

Levelling-up Funding: Broomhill Pool (17 Apr 2023)

Tom Hunt: .... The lido is a great heritage asset. It is a grade II listed building. It is one of only 17 listed lidos in the country and the only listed lido in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk. I cannot say I have read all of Janet Smith’s book “Liquid Assets”, but I have seen one passage which refers to Broomhill lido as arguably the most impressive of its type in the country, right up there with...

Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery — [Mr Clive Betts in the Chair] (29 Mar 2023)

Peter Bone: ...the Illegal Migration Bill, and I hope the Minister can reassure me on that point—my right hon. Friends the Members for Maidenhead (Mrs May) and for Chingford and Woodford Green (Sir Iain Duncan Smith) raised similar concerns yesterday in Committee on the Bill. Will the Minister be so good as to meet me and other concerned Members before the Bill’s Report and Third Reading? Finally, I...
