My Lords, in coming back to the comment on oil and gas made by the noble Baroness, Lady Neville-Rolfe, the growth of green energy and the growth of oil and gas are often described as somehow at odds with each other. It is quite clear that we need both fo

Companies: Online AGMs
My Lords, I have been a director, and not a cowardly one, at more than 50 AGMs over the last 30 years. Some AGMs have one attendee or none, some have a few tens, some have hundreds. The costs can often be thousands of pounds per attending shareholder. Gi

Israel: Trade
My Lords, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Austin, for tabling this QSD and I welcome, if rather belatedly, the noble Lord, Lord Stockwood, as a Minister. It is excellent to have somebody with his extensive business knowledge in the position. I think I am ri

Stablecoin Ownership
My Lords, first, I thank the Lord Speaker for all his service—a good fellow Scotsman and football fan. I also ask the House to note my interest as chairman of S&P Global. Does the Minister agree that stablecoin is like most other financial instrument

Conflict in the Middle East
My Lords, as is clear, Iran was heading towards the ability to create nuclear weapons. We can debate the timeframe, but given that the Iranian leadership chants repeatedly not just death to Israel, death to America, and death to infidels, but “death to E

My Lords, would my noble friend agree that, while the Israel Defense Forces are not perfect, the obsession with focusing on them—despite their being the most moral and professional army in the Middle East—is very strange? At the same time, one must also

I echo the comments from my noble friends Lord Lansley and Lady Hooper, that of course the Bill, and in particular this part of it, is not about changing policy or procedure but about continuity. I think they are raising points to consider in future trad

Brexit: World Trade Organization
My Lords, does the Minister agree that it is not unusual in WTO negotiations for the first answer to be no? That is not a surprise. It will not be easy, but we will work together with the WTO over a long period, not just on agricultural projects but on a
