Immigration: Eurodac and SIS II
My Lords, as the noble Baroness, Lady Chakrabarti, said, SIS II is available to non-Schengen countries, so surely the discussion with the EU is not about Schengen or non-Schengen, or EU or non-EU; it is a system that benefits us all.
My Lords, I thank the Minister for repeating the Statement. Events have moved on somewhat since the humble Address on 4 February. Then, it was Lord Mandelson; now, it is the noble Lord, Lord Doyle. Unless the vetting process has changed recently, this is

Tributes: Lord McFall of Alcluith
My Lords, in welcoming the new Lord Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to thank the noble Lord, Lord McFall, for his time as Lord Speaker. As the House knows, my noble friend Lord True cannot be here to pay tribute, but I am sure that our sentiments are

Tributes
My Lords, sometimes in this House, it feels like our years should be measured in dog years, particularly when you are in opposition. As this year draws to a close, it is a pleasure to follow the Government Chief Whip in paying tribute to those who make t

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
It might be convenient to concur with what the Government Chief Whip has just said. We could finish in the normal run of things if there were fewer interventions and perhaps if the Front Benches could be allowed to sum up.
2025-11-13
Arrangement of Business
My Lords, I thank the Government Chief Whip for outlining the process for tomorrow, which is entirely within the normal run of things. I also join him in thanking everyone who has worked so hard to draw up the amendments and the groupings.
2025-07-24
Tributes
My Lords, as the Government Chief Whip read out the various statistics of how long we have sat—the number of days, Questions and Divisions—the House must have felt every one of them. It has been a very long stint indeed.

Diabetes: 10-Year Health Plan

Perinatal Mental Health

Baby Foods: Nutrition and Marketing
My Lords, I agree with the noble and learned Baroness, Lady Butler- Sloss, that we should not stigmatise women who cannot breastfeed. Nevertheless, baby formula does specify that breast is best. Following on from the supplementary question asked by the n

Employment Rights Bill
The Chief Whip is absolutely right that the Government will get their business through; I have never demurred from that fact, as he did not when his party were in opposition. However, this is a 298-page Bill. We have made really good progress today—as th

Employment Rights Bill
My Lords, before my noble friend stands up—I hope he will not have to stand up—it is nearly 7.45 pm and it is Thursday. It is not just the convention but the firm convention of this House that the House should rise at about 7 pm on a Thursday. Therefore,

Renters’ Rights Bill
The reason we are on the penultimate group is because people have not been in the Chamber to move their amendments in Committee. There have been very short debates in Committee, and some very important groups in Committee have just been glossed over—that

Renters’ Rights Bill
My Lords, before the Minister stands up to respond, I just make the point that it has gone midnight. We did not start consideration of Committee until 8.30 pm. That has meant that people have gone home without putting forward their amendments, and there
My Lords, following on from the question from the noble Baroness, Lady Hunt, we can all think of examples in international sport which are some of the most complex and do not relate to trans athletes’ participation but the methods used to determine wheth
My Lords, I endorse the comments of my noble friend. Before statutory guidance is issued, how will the Government meet their legal obligations across all public services, in compliance with the judgment?

Great British Energy Bill
My Lords, it is 10.25 pm. We still have six more groups to go. There was no agreement to go beyond 10 pm, and indeed the Order Paper says that the House should sit until 10 pm. We had three and a half days in Committee, and I expressed my reservation abo

Great British Energy Bill
My Lords, last night this House voted to adjourn the House at a conventional time of 10 pm to stop the Government rushing through the Great British Energy Bill—on which the Government intend to spend £8.3 billion of taxpayers’ money. Today, after two and

Great British Energy Bill
My Lords, I cannot agree. The Chief Whip is absolutely right that we had discussions on Friday, in which we did not agree, and so no agreement was had. In light of there being no commitment from the noble Lord, I beg to move that the House do now resume.
2025-01-13
Great British Energy Bill
I think that the noble Earl was not listening to me. I said that, to date, we have had one and a half days of scrutiny, and tonight would make two and a half days. The Government committed to three days. That was the point I was making.
2025-01-13
Great British Energy Bill
My Lords, it has just gone 10 pm. We are just over half way through the Government’s stated targets for this evening. As the noble Baroness, Lady Young of Old Scone, said, it is highly unlikely that we can finish another eight groups any time soon.

The noble Lord has just taken the words out of my mouth. I was just about to address the procedure, which is that you cannot have Divisions in Grand Committee. This Bill may be small and technical, but it will have a massive impact on people up and down
