UK Electricity Prices
My Lords, it is a great pleasure to follow such an excellent speech by the noble Lord, Lord Griffiths. I declare my interest in new nuclear technology in the United States.
We have the highest electricity price in the world. Why? The Secretary of Stat

World Cup Ticket Prices
My Lords, I was heartened to hear the Minister at least partially endorse the fact that the price mechanism is a far better way of valuing goods than government diktat. However, does she also agree that the politics of envy, while it may on occasion attr

King’s Speech
Oh, I apologise—the noble Lord has moved further back. Brexit has not cost our economy, an idea that was ably demolished by my noble friends Lord Redwood and Lord Frost. Indeed, the OBR, in its claim that there has been a diminution, published my 10-page

King’s Speech
My Lords, this week the Prime Minister—if indeed he still is the Prime Minister; I am not sure—abandoned his red lines to stealthily reintegrate with the EU, to change our laws to its laws, with the UK having very little say in what those laws will in fu

Pension Schemes Bill
My Lords, I revert to the amendment from my noble friend Lady Neville-Rolfe. I thank her for this important contribution and welcome the contributions from various noble friends, the news from the noble Lord, Lord Palmer, that he would be minded to suppo

Pension Schemes Bill
Does the Minister acknowledge that in 2012 the Hutton report said that the cost would fall, in an uncanny replication of what she just said, to 1.2%, but that it did not? It remained at around 2%. It says now that it will fall to 1.2% but, as I said, the

I am putting the same contribution in that is made by employers—by the Government—right now. If you carry on doing it, you have a bunch of obligations for past promises. In the future everybody has a defined contribution scheme but you have the defined b

Spring Forecast Statement
Well, here we are again, my Lords; another spring, another Statement. In autumn 2024, the OBR forecast that 2025 GDP growth would be 2%. The reality ended up at 1.3%. Never mind: in spring 2025, the OBR forecast 2026 GDP growth would be 1.9%. In autumn 2

Crime and Policing Bill
At least I had this debate in Committee, my Lords, which the Government failed to do with this amendment, so I should have the right to reply to it. The amendment goes beyond what is valuable and on to what is political and dysfunctional. I urge the Hous

Crime and Policing Bill
The noble Lord evinces the certainty that comes from a lifetime in the courts. Those of us who sit outside those courts are maybe a little less certain of the courts’ ability to reach such a fine state of discernment.
I will wrap up; it is getting lat

Crime and Policing Bill
I thank the noble Baroness for her intervention. I was just about to get on to that in my second point, which is that the whole idea of an aggravated crime increasingly weaponises and politicises the concept of hate.
In the previous debate, the noble

My Lords, those of your Lordships who were in Committee will recollect that, as my noble friend Lord Herbert suggested, I tabled an amendment seeking to remove all aggravating hate crimes.
One of the points that I thought that I made quite well was to
My Lords, before commencing, I, too, protest the four-minute limit—hardly enough time to clear one’s throat, although quite a few noble Lords seem to have happily breezed through it. Given that time limit, I shall discuss only one matter: the so-far abor

I hope the noble Lord will withdraw that word. I do not recognise what he is saying. My noble friend was talking about the NHS. Was it NHS workers who were required to put in that extra money?
2026-02-23
Pension Schemes Bill
My Lords, defined benefit schemes have been described as an immoral bet upon an uncertain future. Long service in the public sector can mean getting, as my noble friend stated, a pension of two-thirds of lifetime salary. That is inflation adjusted, and f

UK-EU Customs Union
My Lords, earlier speeches today have claimed with a straight face that had we not left the EU, our GDP would now be 4% or 8% larger than it is now. The OBR, which was named by the Sunday Times this week as the UK’s joint worst forecaster, has embraced t

Crime and Policing Bill
I thank the noble Lord, Lord Katz. I will make three very brief points. The first is that the Supreme Court judgment had a logic behind it, and it is very difficult to see how that logic does not roll out across a whole bunch of issues such as this one.

My Lord, I congratulate my noble and homonymous friend on his new position, which I am sure he will occupy with distinction. The Minister asked a question about dirty energy and how could we possibly promote it. In fact, the truth is the reverse. The Min

I thank the noble Baroness for letting me intervene. Will she agree that it is unfortunate that there is a general perception that this lady—on whose case I do not rest any of my argument, or place any reliance, as I discussed in my 40-page submission to

Crime and Policing Bill
I apologise for intervening again, but does the noble Baroness not accept that had that matter been litigated it would not have been before the judge? It would not have been for the judge to rule; it would have been before a jury, which is something that

Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, my prior amendment would have removed criminalisation of offensive speech. This second amendment would remove criminalisation of hate as a motive. Mostly this relates to where, if a particular kind of hate directed at particular protected chara

I remember the noble Lord, Lord Katz, taking almost 30 minutes the night before last when he had a time limit of 20 minutes. His remarks were so interesting that I did not feel like repining. I certainly would have finished by now had there not been int

I thank the noble Baroness for that explanation. She clearly demarcated our difference in view as to where the line should be drawn. I suggest to noble Lords that it is important to draw the line at the threat of imminent violence. That has been a princi
