Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I am not a medical expert nor a lawyer, but I am a trained historian, so I can say that the international precedents for assisted dying or assisted suicide are not good. When William Beveridge set out his report on the future welfare state, the

Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill
I think the noble Lord misunderstood to a certain extent what I was saying. Forfeiture rarely happens; that is the point. It is merely the threat of forfeiture that ensures that people abide by their leases, and at the moment, as he mentioned, there is n

Renters (Reform) Bill
My Lords, I declare an interest as a landlord of almost 30 years and before that as a renter in the private rented sector, so I have seen the private rented sector from both sides of the fence. It has been a long time coming, but this Bill is welcome. I

Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill
I am not talking about freeholders taking action against other leaseholders; I am talking about how one leaseholder may want to enforce a lease against another leaseholder. In that case, you are saying that they would have to go to the High Court to enfo

Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill
To clarify, I said specifically that people should not have their leases forfeited as a result of rent arrears. The threat of forfeiture can ensure that lease compliance occurs. If you remove the threat of forfeiture, how do you achieve compliance with o

Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill
The problem is that, if you try to enforce a lease, what is your route? The only other route would be to go to the High Court, and that would be a very lengthy process. I am saying that the threat of forfeiture is often enough for people to see sense. I
