2026-06-22 Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, I will speak briefly as a member of the Delegated Powers Committee, which has produced a report on this Bill. That report concerns especially Clause 3, but it raises general issues that fall within the scope of the amendment that my noble frien
2026-06-17 State of Extremism Report
That is an extremely welcome Answer. Does the Minister not agree that the antisemitism emergency is being driven not only by hostile states but by hostile non-state actors such as Hezbollah and Hamas and their agents here? Is it therefore not essential,
2026-06-17 State of Extremism Report
To ask His Majesty’s Government whether they intend to identify individuals, groups, organisations, businesses or bodies in the annual State of Extremism report they committed to publishing in Protecting What Matters, published on 9 March.
2026-05-18 King’s Speech
My Lords, the antisemitism emergency, as the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation has described it, and the balkanisation problem of ethnic and religious division—perhaps I should say balkanisation crisis—has haunted today’s debate on the King’s
2026-03-20 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I have four amendments in this group. Two of them cover ground already explored by other noble Lords, so I will not go over that ground again. We will simply address two of them, Amendments 540A and 862C. I will deal with the latter amendment f
2026-03-20 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Would the noble Baroness perhaps like to make it clear whether she believes that it is inappropriate for the sponsor of the Bill to reply to the question I have just put in Committee?
2026-03-20 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, my Amendment 765, supported by the noble Lord, Lord Rooker, would delete Clause 42(4). I will briefly read the subsection, as it is not very long: “Regulations under subsection (3) may make any provision that … could be made by an Act of Par
2026-03-13 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I will speak to my Amendment 151, which is supported by the noble Lord, Lord Carlile, and the noble Baronesses, Lady Fox and Lady Hollins. It was also referred to approvingly by the noble Baroness, Lady Campbell, in her earlier remarks. My amen
2026-03-09 Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, I will speak to my Amendment 419. It is rare for an amendment to succeed before it has even been moved, but so it appears to be in the case of this amendment, which would compel the Government to publish a counterextremism strategy. In Committe
2026-02-12 Counter-Extremism Strategy
To ask His Majesty’s Government what consideration they have given to the introduction of a counter-extremism strategy.
2026-02-12 Counter-Extremism Strategy
My Lords, I am pleased to have the opportunity to open this short debate on the consideration given to the introduction of a counterextremism strategy. The usual form on these occasions is to describe the issues and ask some questions. However, the issue
2026-02-11 New Homes Target
To ask His Majesty’s Government what recent progress they have made towards delivering 1.5 million new homes by the end of this Parliament.
2026-02-11 New Homes Target
I am grateful to the Minister for that Answer. Up to 100,000 new homes could be built were the Government to scrap the old, outdated EU-era nutrient neutrality regulations. Will the Government bring in new regulations to protect the environment, and scra
2026-02-06 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
I apologise to the noble and learned Lord if he has already answered the question about my amendment. I would be grateful if he would clarify his view of Amendment 113 in relation to the code.
2026-02-06 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I will speak to my Amendment 113, which concerns a matter that has not previously been raised in the context of mental capacity, or I suspect my amendment would have been grouped earlier; it is about codes of practice. To explain it, I ask any
2026-01-27 Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, this has been an appropriately sombre debate given the scale and sweep of the challenges described. I am grateful to the noble Baronesses, Lady Foster and Lady Fox, the noble Lord, Lord Pannick, and the noble and learned Baroness, Lady Butler-S
2026-01-27 Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, I wish to speak briefly in support of the amendment from the noble Baroness, Lady Foster, which I signed. I do so, paradoxically, as someone who has written in the Daily Telegraph, of all places, against the proscription of Palestine Action. My
2026-01-27 Crime and Policing Bill
2026-01-27 Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, in moving Amendment 438E, I will speak also to Amendments 438EA—which the noble Baroness, Lady Fox of Buckley, has been kind enough to support—and 438F, 454A and 454B about non-violent extremism. Right at the start, the term “non-violent ext

2026-01-23 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Imagine I were a poor person who went before the panel and opted for an assisted death, but said, “Were I rich, I would not do this; I would take my chance on the diagnosis being wrong”. If the amendment moved by the noble Baroness, Lady Berger, was pass
2026-01-23 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
The noble Baroness, Lady Berger, is quite correct. That is exactly what happened in the Select Committee. For my sins, I sit on a surfeit of committees, including the Delegated Powers Committee, which drew attention to this very deficit in the Bill. So t
2026-01-23 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, there is an unreality about this debate that gives rise to a question for the sponsor of the Bill and the Minister. The unreality is this: the noble Lord, Lord Birt, has made the case for his amendments, and my noble friend Lord Harper and othe
2026-01-16 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
It may be helpful for the Committee if I simply read, very briefly, for the assistance of considering this amendment, what the former Chief Coroner of England and Wales, Justice Teague, said about the background to the decriminalisation of suicide when g
2026-01-09 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
I will be extremely brief but, as I said, I have tabled an amendment and have been waiting patiently to speak to it, if I may. My Amendment 394 would require the assessing doctor to arrange, and require the person to attend, a consultation with a palliat
