Sustainable Drainage Systems
My Lords, when I was young, some time ago, it was more commonplace that councils cleared out the storm drains on a cyclical maintenance basis. Many councils on discretionary cost-cutting no longer do that; some exemplary councils do. Can the Minister ens

UK Electricity Prices
My Lords, I put on record my registered interest as the director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation.
Let me restate what Labour’s manifesto said. It promised to get power bills down by £300. The latest price cap is £294 higher than in those lofty

Middle East: Economic Response
My Lords, it must be noted that the Government are enjoying and using many of the Brexit dividends that were given to them: that is zero tariffs on anything they please; that is using subsidy—not a mechanism I particularly promote—in various places, nota

My Lords, I start with compliments and thanks to all those who have given their maiden speeches today; I look forward to hearing much more from them. I put on record my registered interest that I am the director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

RMT Strikes: Impact on Businesses
My Lords, last week I was not singing the praises of the RMT when I was walking with two prosthetic legs between here and Victoria, and I probably speak for many disabled people who rely on the Tube to get to work. But I speak in this place for the small

My Lords, as ever with many big government ideas, there is a solution that is yet to find a problem.
I am yet to hear a ministerial Statement on the very serious data events that happened at Companies House over the last week. I have not heard a State
My Lords, I am pleased to support my noble friend Lord Fuller, who has similarly reciprocated his enthusiasm for one of my amendments. Quite a few things come to mind in the amendment from my noble friend. One is the normality across other parts of the t
This is an important point in many ways. The Minister will be aware that within an owner-managed director business, the director has absolute discretion about how he or she may take their overall package, whether that is dividends, usual PAYE employment
My Lords—
My Lords, I declare my directorship of the Global Warming Policy Foundation. When I was the MP for South Thanet, we had a proposal for one of these battery farms—let us call them that—in the constituency. I wrote to Kent Fire and Rescue Service with my c
My Lords, I normally do not support measures that carve out certain sectors from others in the normal weft and weave of enterprises in the country, but I support this one, particularly Amendments 12 and 24 which seek to carve out small and medium-sized c
Is the Minister’s understanding of the Bill that the £2,000 threshold will be in the entirety of a single employee or across each employment? At the moment, with NI regulations the employee benefits from different thresholds in each employment that is he
My Lords, I will ask the question in a slightly different way, which may flush out what I think we are trying to get there. Say, for instance, that there is an inflationary rise by an employer every year—there always has been and, one would have expected
I would like to assist the noble Lord, Lord Davies, on multiple employments. For an employer faced with an employee with multiple employments, which is not uncommon, it has no reference at all to the individual employer—it is of no interest. An employer
Perhaps I may make some comments on Amendment 33 put forward by the noble Baroness, Lady Altmann, and my noble friend Lord Leigh. My noble friend recommends that there be some Treasury advice on this. I do not think Treasury advice is good enough. Surely
My Lords, let me make my declaration. I am a chartered accountant and chartered tax adviser, so such legislation is the thing I live for on a daily basis.
My noble friend Lady Neville-Rolfe has laid out the ambitions of pensions. Unfortunately, in the

Electric Vehicles: Transition
My Lords, I refer to my interests as the director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation. Figures show that UK car production has reduced to its lowest level since the 1950s, yet a Chinese EV manufacturer has now eclipsed every other global manufacturer

Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill
My Lords, I am the director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, so the House might believe that I am immediately against all this sort of thing, but that would not actually be true. I am certainly in favour of proper CO2 accounting, hence my support

Government Website: Registering a Death
My Lords, perhaps I could bring to the House my recent experience. My father passed away on 21 December, which is, dare I say, a challenging time of year, given that the nation stops work for about two weeks. I was not able to register the death until 8

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
There is a big issue here. Other states around the world which have had assisted dying for some time have differences of view. In Oregon, which has had assisted dying since 1997, there is a requirement to keep the mother alive for as long as possible, pa

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
I will just come back on that, if I may. I would also say that the wording in the amendments in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Grey-Thompson, is insufficient, because it is a far more complex issue than that. As I said, there is a world of differen
