2026-06-15 Middle East: Iran Conflict
My Lords, we must never forget that Iran holds innocent British citizens as political hostages in that country. I very much hope that, given increased stability in the region, the Foreign Office can work harder to release people such as the Foremans who
2026-06-15 World Ocean Day
My Lords, one of the increasing issues for our porpoises, dolphins and whales is that of increasing marine noise. Defra published a policy document at the beginning of last year, which I welcomed, but will the Minister tell us what progress has been mad
2026-06-10 Contracts for Difference (Allocation) (Amendment) Regulations 2026
My Lords, it is a great pleasure to listen to the Minister. He is the one Minister who, I know, if we asked for a one-and-a-half-hour explanation, he would be able to do it without notes because of his deep knowledge. When I looked at the Explanatory Not
2026-05-18 King’s Speech
My Lords, I will speak on leave to remain, but first I want to comment on the background policy papers the Government published on the upcoming immigration and asylum Bill. If you read the beginning of certainly one of those papers, it seems to suggest
2026-04-27 Chemicals (Health and Safety) (Amendment, Consequential and Transitional Provision) Regulations 2026
My Lords, it is worth saying that the chemical industry—under pressure, indeed, as the noble Lord, Lord Redwood, said—is still a very important manufacturing sector in this country. It pays good wages, has high employment and, perhaps more importantly, i
2026-04-21 Electricity: Domestic Pricing
My Lords, the most effective way of bringing down household energy bills is through the energy efficiency of homes. I welcome the Government’s move to apply the future homes standard, which will bring up energy efficiency, but they are not going to imple
2026-03-24 English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill
My Lords, I thank the Minister for his comments, and I particularly thank the noble Baroness, Lady Scott, for her excellent comments. This is the first time I have put down an amendment that has been rejected by the Government partly because it gets in t
2026-03-24 English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill
My Lords, as well as moving my Amendment 31, I shall speak to my Amendments 33 and 34. I am very privileged to have a group all to myself. These amendments aim to safeguard Cornwall’s distinct constitutional and cultural position within the Government’s
2026-03-24 English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill
2026-03-23 Ukraine: Reparation
My Lords, given that Ukraine has gone slightly below the radar because of the Middle East, does the Minister agree that the coverage over the past year was quite negative about Ukraine, but it has turned out more recently that Ukraine does have the cards
2026-03-23 Onshore Wind Farms
My Lords, I welcome the Minister’s positive reply. There are some 200 wind farm sites coming up for operational termination by 2030—some 3 megawatts of power. If we managed to repower those, we could have an additional 2 gigawatts without having new site

2026-03-09 Energy Markets
My Lords, the person smiling this evening is President Putin of the Russian Federation, because an economy that was hugely under pressure is going to be relieved when it comes to oil prices. In fact, I read this evening that Putin has offered to help Eur
2026-02-02 English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill
My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness for that contribution. I am interested in what she said. Unlike many noble Lords here, I am not into London politics at all, but that speech almost painted an ideal situation in London between different levels of loca
2026-02-02 English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill
My Lords, perhaps I could follow on from the noble Lord, Lord Bassam, very much in the same vein of argument. One thing that shocked me, reading some of the background to this, was that local transport authorities do not have this power at the moment. It
2026-01-26 Water White Paper
My Lords, one of the areas that the White Paper does not even mention is the voluntary sector, particularly citizen science, which has been fundamental in calling water companies to account—in the Wye valley and other areas. As well as not mentioning cit
2026-01-19 Offshore Wind
My Lords, I also welcome the noble Lord, Lord Moynihan, and his expertise to the Front Bench. He is certainly a very effective parliamentarian, even if I do not agree very much with his narrative. But we will see where we get to there. I also welcome
2026-01-19 Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Bill
My Lords, the treaty came into operation on Saturday, so this is a very appropriate day. My only sadness on this excellent occasion is that, as I said on Report, I believe that this is probably one of the last agreements that we will have internationally
2026-01-12 Ukraine and Wider Operational Update
My Lords, let us be quite clear that Mr Putin does not want a ceasefire under any circumstances—it is not going to happen. Without wanting to sound trite, I pay tribute to the armed forces of Ukraine, which are defending our freedom in Europe with their
2026-01-12 Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Bill
My Lords, I thank the Minister for going through those technicalities. These Benches welcome the effectiveness of devolution for this sort of implementation legislation, as I am sure the whole House does. The one question I have for the Minister, althoug
2026-01-12 Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Bill
My Lords, the greatest delight is that the noble Lord and the noble Baroness actually agreed with each other; that seemed highly unusual, having sat through the previous debate. I have brought about a coming together of the two of them—at least that is p
2026-01-12 Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Bill
2026-01-12 Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Bill
My Lords, one of the core characteristics of the Bill is, obviously, a treaty that is about actions beyond national jurisdictions. In fact, we should celebrate it even more, because I suspect it will be one of the last of these treaties that we shall enj
2026-01-12 Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Bill
My Lords, we on these Benches support the intent of the amendment tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Jones. I hope the Minister will have a useful reply to it. On plastics and the amendment tabled by my noble friend Lady Miller, one of the things that
2026-01-08 Greenland
My Lords, I agree with the Minister’s comments. However, does she agree that an annexation of Greenland by the United States—the President of the United States has given a timetable for this happening by the end of his current term—would be one of the mo
