2025-10-31 Ukraine
My Lords, as the Minister’s inspiring speech emphasised, and the excellent maiden speech by the noble Lord, Lord Barrow, reiterated, all the indications are that Russia is preparing for a long war. The Kremlin continues to invest in the militarisation an
2025-09-12 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, the measure before us represents the possibility of the greatest alleviation of pain and suffering in this country since Sir Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin 97 years ago. It is no criticism of our excellent hospice movement to point out
2025-07-02 House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill
I welcome the assurances given by the Minister and will not seek to test the opinion of the House. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
2025-07-02 House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill
My Lords, the adjective “historic” is bandied about far too often in politics, covering all sorts of things that are unlikely to detain historians of the future. Football matches, TV shows and any number of announcements in the other place are routinely
2025-07-02 House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill
2025-06-30 UK-Mauritius Agreement on the Chagos Archipelago
My Lords, the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization, which has been a major driving force behind these legal attacks on the British Indian Ocean Territories, was founded in November 1961 and was dedicated to erasing the phenomenon of non-sel
2025-06-02 Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]
My Lords, may I also trespass on your patience? I, like my noble friend Lord Dobbs, live on my royalties. The AI companies have—very irritatingly—bought only one of my 20 books; they paid about £3,000, and so, as you can imagine, I am very keen that they
2025-03-06 Ukraine (International Relations and Defence Committee Report)
My Lords, I, too, welcome this excellent report, which struck me as a model of its kind. Of course, after the disgraceful scene in the Oval Office on Friday, the situation has changed since the publication of the report and significantly for the worse. W
2025-01-08 Cultural Sector: Freedom of Speech
My Lords, for over 200 years the Royal Society of Literature has been promoting excellence in literature but over the last couple of years, it has exercised censorship; it failed to denounce the attempted murder of Salman Rushdie; and it has tried to sil
2024-12-11 House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill
My Lords, speaking as a historian, it seems to me that severing the link between Parliament and the noble families of Britain, after so many centuries of their service, will damage the prestige of this House. The grandeur of this place is bound up not ju
2024-09-05 Independent Schools: VAT Exemption
My Lords, unlike my noble friend Lord Taylor, I had a terrible time at my public school and was expelled—or, more accurately, I was asked to leave and not come back—so I cannot be accused of being parti pris in this in saying that I support public school
2024-07-23 King’s Speech
My Lords, it would be churlish not to congratulate the Labour Party on its stunning victory on 4 July and unpatriotic not to wish the Government luck and a fair wind. Since the abolition of the hereditary element in this House was in their manifesto, and
2024-04-16 Lord Byron: 200th Anniversary
My Lords, the siting of the Byron statue in the dual carriageway is mad, bad and dangerous to show. Does the Minister agree that the great British public, who have poetry in their souls, should go to www.thebyronsociety.com and help pay for the relocatio
2024-03-05 Foreign Affairs
My Lords, I have three quick questions for my noble friend the Foreign Secretary. Does he agree that, for centuries, freedom of the press has essentially meant freedom from the control of Governments, both foreign and domestic? I have an interest to decl
2024-02-08 Gaza: Humanitarian Situation
My Lords, even if we were to take as accurate Hamas’s statistics and the 27,500 figure—there is no reason why we should; we do not do that with Putin or ISIS—if one subtracts the number of Gazans who have been killed by the quarter or so of the Islamic J
2023-12-07 Schools: Safeguarding
My Lords, I join everybody else in thanking my noble friend Lady Jenkin for securing time for this important and interesting debate. As a historian, I will give your Lordships a brief oversight into the history of transgenderism, as I think it will he
2023-11-15 King’s Speech
My Lords, I preface my remarks by thanking the doorkeepers, the police, Black Rod and the clerks for their unfailing courtesy and good nature to me over the last year. In particular, I thank Simon Burton, the Clerk of the Parliaments, who pointed out to
