Sporting Events Bill [HL]
To make it clear, when I was talking about an established principle, I was talking about the fact that we have restricted advertising of these products—particularly to children. Therefore, it is a question of how far that restriction goes; it is not abou

Sporting Events Bill [HL]
My Lords, I wanted to allow some time to raise and discuss the important issue of gambling advertising—I was hoping for more discussion of it. I note that I support Amendments 37, 41 and 44. The noble Lord, Lord Foster of Bath, has already made the case

My Lords, I outlined in our debate on Amendment 1 why I am opposing all these clauses, specifically Clauses 3 and 4 in this group. My opposition to Clause 2 was because I wanted to go further, not to ensure that there is no double-dipping within househol

My Lords, we have an economy that is heavily dominated by giant—usually multinational—companies. There is nothing inevitable about that: it is a result of political and policy decisions made over decades by multiple Governments. It can and must be differ

South East Water: Disruption of Supply

Donations to Political Parties
My Lords, in 2011 the Committee on Standards in Public Life recommended that the amount that any organisation, individual or institution can give in political donations should be limited. It is now 15 years later. A few years ago, the noble Earl, Lord Ho
