2026-04-21 House of Lords: Legislative Procedures
My Lords, leaving aside the question of whether that largely meaningless word “modernisation” is an appropriate one to use in this context, could the Leader of the House, in her consideration of these issues, give priority to effectiveness over efficienc
2025-06-12 Ethics and Integrity Commission
My Lords, when this commission arrives, if it ever does, will His Majesty’s Government ensure there is no unprofitable overlap with the excellent work being done by the Committee on Standards in Public Life?
2025-06-11 Holocaust Memorial Bill
I support the noble Baroness, Lady Deech, and her Amendment 9. With the then Clerk of the Parliaments, I commissioned the first ever condition and survey of the Palace in October 2011. That reported in March 2012; its principal conclusion was that doing
2025-06-11 Holocaust Memorial Bill
My Lords, I think that the intent that the noble Lord, Lord Inglewood, and I had has been slightly misinterpreted. When the planning process—I use that general term, because, as we heard in answer to the question from the noble Lord, Lord Sassoon, it cou
2025-06-11 Holocaust Memorial Bill
My Lords, this amendment is in my name and those of the noble Baronesses, Lady Walmsley and Lady Fookes, and the noble Lord, Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts. Amendment 7, in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Inglewood, is also in this group. Amendments 6 a

2025-03-04 Holocaust Memorial Bill
My Lords, I cannot contribute with the degree of fluency and authority of those noble Lords who have spoken so far, but I have a question for the Minister and an observation. The question stems from the Explanatory Notes. Years ago, I had the function
2024-12-02 Football Governance Bill [HL]
My Lords, it would be useful to determine who has the Floor.
2024-09-04 Holocaust Memorial Bill
My Lords, the Holocaust was a stain upon humanity. It must not be allowed to fade from our memories as the survivors—now a dwindling number—die. As we all agree, there must be a memorial. Alas, so far as the site is concerned, this Bill is an unnecess
2024-04-19 Artificial Intelligence in Weapon Systems Committee Report
My Lords, 3 pm on a Friday afternoon is not a particularly auspicious time for a long final spot, but I am extremely grateful to noble Lords on all sides of the House who have taken part in the debate. Their interest, views and expertise have made this a
2024-04-19 Artificial Intelligence in Weapon Systems Committee Report
My Lords, it is a pleasure to introduce this debate on the report of the AI in Weapon Systems Committee. I am very grateful to the business managers for arranging an early debate; this is a fast-moving subject and it is right that the House has an early
2024-04-19 Artificial Intelligence in Weapon Systems Committee Report
That this House takes note of the Report from the Artificial Intelligence in Weapon Systems Committee Proceed with Caution: Artificial Intelligence in Weapon Systems (HL Paper 16).
2024-01-29 Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill
My Lords, were it not for the thousands of human tragedies and broken lives that are part of the problem which this Bill attempts so clumsily to solve, we would be looking at surrealism verging on the point of becoming comic. A scriptwriter suggesting th
2023-11-30 Residential Leasehold for Flats
Does the absence of these clauses lead the Minister to draw a conclusion which has general application—that Parliament is asked to consider far too much legislation, to be proceeded with at far too great a pace?
2023-11-09 Death of a Member: Lord Judge
My Lords, Igor Judge was a man of warmth, courtesy, humour and wisdom. He moved seamlessly from being a giant of the law to a doughty defender in this House of the constitution. I got to know him when I was Clerk of the House of Commons and he eagerly em

I think the noble Lord will know the answer, and it is no.
2023-06-13 Public Order Act 1986 (Serious Disruption to the Life of the Community) Regulations 2023
My Lords, I make no comment on the merits of the policy that this proposal would introduce; it is the manner in which the Government have proceeded that has caused me, as it has my noble friend Lord Pannick, great concern. The Home Office has behaved in
2023-06-06 Financial Services and Markets Bill
My Lords, I am a signatory to this amendment, although some quirk of technology has meant that my name does not appear on the Marshalled List today. I am delighted to join other noble Lords whose names are on the amendment. This is déjà vu all over again
2023-06-06 Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill
My Lords, I am delighted to support Motion E1 in the name of my noble friend Lord Anderson of Ipswich. At a time when there is increasing concern about the balance between Parliament and the Executive, I was rather surprised that the elected House reject
2023-05-15 Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill
It is with a certain amount of trepidation that I seek to answer the question. The noble and learned Lord, Lord Hope, will correct me if I am wrong, but as I understand it the idea is that the amendments—which might come from the Joint Committee or from
2023-05-15 Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill
I absolutely agree and, as the noble Viscount has made clear, a number of things could be interpreted as of sufficient gravity to trigger, we hope, the powers in the Bill, then the Act, and it would be for the Joint Committee to decide—as a number of com
2023-05-15 Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill
My Lords, I thank the noble and learned Lord, Lord Hope, for his kind reference to what I said in Committee and subsequently. In order to set the mind of the noble Viscount at rest, I suggest that the wording relating to the Joint Committee in Amendment
2023-03-02 Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill
My Lords, I will speak to Amendment 141A in my name, which has cross-party support, for which I am most grateful. Noble Lords in all parts of the Committee have been fiercely critical of the cut-off date. However, even if the present draconian date is re
2023-02-28 Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill
My Lords, I direct the Minister’s attention to the Civil Contingencies Act. While she thinks about that, in view of the excoriating criticism levelled by a number of your Lordships’ committees at framework Bills, I also ask her to reflect on the irony of
2023-02-23 Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill
My Lords, I support every word just spoken by the noble Lord, Lord Wilson of Dinton, and earlier by the noble Baroness, Lady Meacher. On the generality of the issues raised by this group of amendments, I say very gently to the noble Lord, Lord Frost,
