2026-06-22 Sporting Events Bill [HL]
My Lords, I declare an interest as a member of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, a former chairman of the British Olympic Association from 2005 through 2012, and, throughout those seven years, a member of the Internatio

2026-06-22 Sporting Events Bill [HL]
That is an extremely important and welcome intervention, but the Minister said “in due course”. Can she commit that that means during this Parliament?
2026-06-22 Sporting Events Bill [HL]
I absolutely endorse that comment. As my noble friend, who has sat with me on this subject many times over the past five years, will know, ever since the Waterson report and many others, I have sought to table and introduce legislation—sometimes successf
2026-06-22 Sporting Events Bill [HL]
To fail to commit for the whole of this Parliament, when we have years to run, is disappointing, given the strength of the comments made by the Prime Minister and other Ministers in recent months. It is vital that the Government indicate by the time we g
2026-06-22 Sporting Events Bill [HL]
I am grateful for that intervention: I echo everything he said: everything he said, in terms of detail, is to be supported. The second point is this: we have to be incredibly careful, in discussing this subject, about the autonomy of world sport. We a
2026-06-22 Sporting Events Bill [HL]
My Lords, I thank the Minister for her quite extensive, albeit rapid-fire response. Many of us will read it in greater detail and come back with any questions after we have had that opportunity. I say to the noble Lord, Lord Bassam, that, while we might
2026-06-22 Sporting Events Bill [HL]
My Lords, it may seem surprising that I oppose Clause 5 standing part of this Bill, given the fact that I have argued many times in your Lordships’ House for taking tough action against the abuse of the secondary market in ticketing. The reason I do is t
2026-06-22 Sporting Events Bill [HL]
I anticipate that the Minister may say that it is quite difficult to broaden this without being specific. I have one thought, having listened to this debate and been very supportive of what has been said. If, for example, the R&A for the Open golf wa
2026-06-22 Sporting Events Bill [HL]
My Lords, I thank everybody who has participated in the debate, particularly my noble friends in sport, the noble Baroness, Lady Grey-Thompson, and the noble Lord, Lord Holmes. I did not live up to their expectations; I was first of the losers, getting o
2026-06-15 Contracts for Difference (Definition of Eligible Generator) (Amendment) Regulations 2026
My Lords, it is a pleasure to follow the noble Earl, Lord Russell, on this occasion because he made some powerful points. Of the five key points I intended to make, he has alluded to four of them, so they are worth focusing on briefly prior to the Minist
2026-06-15 Pollution Prevention and Control (Fees) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2026
Does the Minister agree that the issue is not a reduction in the oil and gas available? After all, in 1990, we were at just over 2 million barrels a day and so was Norway. By 2000, we were each producing just over 4 million barrels a day. Norway has cont

My Lords, I declare my interest as chairman of Amey, Acteon and Buckthorn Partners, which show an interest in energy transition. However, on this occasion, it is a rather tenuous link to this specific debate, since only Acteon provides global subsea serv
2026-06-10 Contracts for Difference (Allocation) (Amendment) Regulations 2026
My Lords, I thank the Minister for his very kind opening remarks, which I greatly appreciate. It is good to be back for what is, as he says, always a constructive and convivial exchange of views with him. I am sure that that will continue to be the case,
2026-06-10 Energy Prices Act 2022 (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2026
My Lords, this instrument underpins the measures that we have already debated. It creates no new powers and His Majesty’s Opposition are supportive of it. More broadly, as the Minister knows, we do not believe that the Government can lower the structura
2026-06-09 Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Household Tumble Dryers) Regulations 2026
My Lords, we on these Benches fully associate ourselves with the opening remarks of my noble friend Lady Hoey following the appalling tragedy in Belfast. I move on from that, with great difficulty, to say that I welcome the fact that she has brought this
2026-06-04 UK Electricity Prices
My Lords, I declare my interest as chairman of Amey, Acteon and Buckthorn Partners, three companies focused on delivering energy transition. This has been an excellent debate. Since my noble friend Lord Lilley referred to Dieter Helm, and having just

2026-04-28 National Emergency Plan for Fuel
My Lords, this morning the CEO of Wizz Air, which carried over 30 million passengers last year, warned that European airlines risk collapse by September if jet fuel prices remain at current record levels. We are starting to learn of flight cancellations
2026-04-27 Warm Home Discount (Scotland) Regulations 2026
My Lords, I too thank the Minister for bringing forward this SI and explaining it in such detail, especially given the fact that we have already debated this at some length, when my colleague from the Liberal Democrat Benches also participated in certain

My Lords, I declare my interests as chairman of Amey, Acteon and Buckthorn Partners, all of which are involved with the energy transition. I also congratulate the noble Lord, Lord Nagaraju, who spoke outstandingly well. We look forward to his contributio
2026-04-22 Low-carbon Heat Networks
My Lords, low-carbon heat networks, while commendable, face major disadvantages and risks, including financial risks, technical challenges in retrofitting, and operational challenges such as overheating and service outages. Do the Government really belie
2026-04-21 Electricity: Domestic Pricing
My Lords, by our doubling down on intermittent renewable wind and imported Chinese solar, as the Secretary of State announced this morning, does the Minister agree that while the wholesale price link to gas and electricity constitutes, as he said, only s
2026-04-16 Data Centres: Energy Demand
My Lords, given that the environmental footprint is rightly central to the Government’s net zero policy, what is their reason for not opening the North Sea to a new licence round tied to long-term take-or-pay contracts to power new data centres, for exam
2026-03-23 Contracts for Difference (Sustainable Industry Rewards and Contract Budget Notice Amendments) Regulations 2026
Indeed, the Minister is right as well. The key point, however, is one of emphasis. To me and to my colleagues, and to companies that may access government funding through this scheme, not to know the detail of what is proposed through the draft code of p
