My Lords, this is a very welcome debate not only because it is the opportunity to discuss our first report of the Built Environment Committee, but also because it is turning into a very interesting debate in all manner of ways. I pay tribute to our exc

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, this is a very difficult day for this House. It is a profound day, and that has been reflected in extraordinary speeches, but it is a devastating day for people who invested hope that this House would follow the democratic lead of the other pla

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
I would prefer not to give way. I have hardly spoken in this debate and I would like to make a coherent case.
Public opinion has moved, medical opinion has moved, and I think the House has moved. Many countries have taken the decision, and millions of

House of Lords: Legislative Procedures
My noble friend Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe has already referred to the work of the committee in 2010-11. One of the recommendations—and there were quite a few that were not implemented—was that the House start on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 2 pm.

Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules
My Lords, I speak briefly in support of the case made by my noble friend Lady Royall. I regret that we are having this debate in this way this evening but it has been extremely powerful.
I thank the Minister for his personal response to my letter. Whe

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, with some diffidence, I first put on the record that the Bill is abundantly clear that it is an opt-in system. Clause 31, “No obligation to provide assistance etc”, says:
“No person is under any duty to participate in the provision of assist
My Lords, I regret not having taken part in Committee. If you come to the arguments on Report quite fresh, they have a curiously powerful impact. This afternoon, we have heard speeches on aspects of the amendments on rural needs and ambitions that have b

Unpaid Carers: Patient Hospital Discharge
My Lords, it is good to hear that there is real awareness of the issues caused by this. It is one of the most acute problems in the whole provision of social care, and it falls hard on unpaid carers when they do not even know how or who to ask for help.

NHS: Heart Valve Disease
My Lords, it is obvious that early testing for heart valve disease is an exemplary form of preventive medicine, which is where we all need to get to. The House owes my noble friend gratitude for organising heart valve testing through the Heart Valve Voic

Standards in Public Life
My Lords, I thank the Leader for the way in which she introduced this Statement on this very serious situation. I want to pick up a point made by the noble Lord, Lord Wallace. In his raft of suggestions, he made one which I think is particularly importan

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I think it is right, as my noble friend Lord Rooker said, that this clause stand part debate is an opportunity for a reset and a rethink about how we are approaching the Bill and the way we are prioritising the arguments. Where I slightly take

Heritage Craft and Building Sector
My Lords, I thank the Chief Whip. I am very interested in what the noble Baroness has said about the range of initiatives, and very glad that she is talking to the rest of the heritage sector. The question that was raised, however, was about the strategi
My noble friend the Minister will recognise that we have to reinvent the high street. We recently had a Built Environment Select Committee report on this, which set out a number of different policies through which this can be done. One of the most succes

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
The noble Lord is right, and there are specific instances. The noble Baroness raised one in relation to the Crown dependencies, where these definitions will have to be tested in some way. But the purpose of the Bill is to ensure that people living in thi

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I hesitate to interrupt this fascinating debate between our lawyers. I have no legal experience, but I have investigated the notion of domiciliary status at some length for different reasons. I absolutely agree with anyone who has tried to work

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
The noble Baroness is quite right, and it is a very important part of mental capacity decisions that the families are involved, supportive and completely understand the implications of what it means to have either incomplete capacity or capacity that va

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, at the heart of this debate is the question of safety. It is very impressive to hear all the experience around the House and I know that people shared my experience when we took the Mental Capacity Act through the House in 2005. That Act had

Prisoners: Reoffending
My Lords, I am grateful for that very positive Answer. I do not think anyone in the House underestimates the personal and professional concern the Minister has with reducing reoffending, which is why he is probably as concerned as the noble Lord, Lord Ha

Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, I am grateful for my noble friend’s reply. I will of course withdraw the amendment, but it is rather disappointing. I am very glad that the Minister has met with the conservation and heritage bodies. They have a view about this, which is why th

Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, I feel that I have been reprieved on this amendment. I will do my best to keep it short, although it is a bit technical. It is a proposed new clause. The Front Bench will be relieved to know that none of my supporters can be here; they are all

Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, in another life, I had the privilege of taking through the then Planning Bill 2008, which introduced CIL. In this House, we had some very vigorous arguments, not about its purpose but about its methodology. I was very interested to hear what th

Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, I am intrigued by this exchange, because the thought had occurred to me that, by introducing a principle of proportionality into the legislation, we would then open the floodgates to contention about what is proportional. The question of JR see
