2026-06-16 Russian Shadow Fleet
The Minister has stated that the reason why this ship was stopped and many others were let through was that the circumstances aligned. Does he mean to say that, when all the other ships went through our territorial waters, for none of them did the circum
2026-04-23 Steel Sector
Following on from my noble friend’s question, has the Minister made provision for ever-increasing amounts of taxpayer’s money to be paid into the steel industry?
2026-04-13 Strait of Hormuz: Mine Clearance
Will the Minister accept that the problem that both the US Navy and the Royal Navy have is that they do not have a ship that has adequate defences against massive attack from either missiles or drones?
2026-03-26 HBOS: Fraud Investigation
My Lords, can the Minister now answer the question from the Conservative Front Bench? How much money has been got back from the fraudsters and how much of that has ended up with the victims of this appalling crime?
2026-03-20 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
All right—they could apply, if that helps the noble Baroness, Lady Hayter. We have to think closely about this, because this is the essence of the Bill. I do not understand how we can be comfortable with the whole idea that some of these diagnoses wil
2026-03-20 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I have always considered that the six months was critical to the essence of this Bill, because there has to be some point at which doctors say that you are likely to die. Misdiagnosis has been a problem. I recognise the remarks of the noble Bar
2026-03-10 House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill
I echo the sentiments of the noble Lord, Lord Rooker, about the noble Lord, Lord Grocott. I did not realise he was ill. It is very sad that he is not with us today, and I know we will all wish him the very best recovery from the problems that he has at t
2026-02-27 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Could I come back on that? I never said that it was a major reason: I just said that it was a consideration that had to be made. Budgets are very strapped in the NHS at the moment and, if it can ensure that people who are blocking beds vote for assisted
2026-02-27 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
I wish I could agree with my noble friend Lord Markham, but at the end of the day we have a National Health Service and it has to make choices, and we know that the National Health Service is desperately short of money. If it can save money by making sur
2026-02-27 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Given the noble and learned Lord’s encyclopaedic knowledge of the statute book, can he tell us what went wrong with the Abortion Bill, which morphed without parliamentary consent, much to the concern of its sponsor, Lord Steel.
2026-02-27 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I would like to address the issue of mission creep. I have tabled amendments that come so late in the procedure that I do not think we will ever reach them, but I am concerned that the Bill, if it becomes an Act of Parliament, will morph into
2026-02-27 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Is the noble Baroness not concerned, as I am, that we are conflating expertise with bias? People think that because somebody is expert, they are independent. It does not necessarily follow. There could be people who are expert but at the same time very b
2026-02-06 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
This is the second Friday we have had where the target has been 10 groups of amendments and we have come well below half on both those days. If we go on scrutinising the Bill in the way we have been doing, it is inconceivable that it will ever reach the
2026-02-06 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
The noble and learned Lord kindly agreed to address the issue of inadvertent misdiagnosis and he said that this group of amendments led by Amendment 71 was the time to bring that up. It was pointed out at the time by the noble Baroness, Lady Berger, that
2026-02-02 Nationalised Passenger Rail Services
My Lords, last time the trains were nationalised, they were dirty and late, and the sandwiches were so old that they were curling up at the corners. Why is it going to be different this time?
2026-01-30 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I have supported AI for as long as I can remember, and I think it is the future for this country. If we are looking for improvements in productivity, there is no doubt that we should look to the National Health Service and the public sector, wh
2026-01-30 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Can the noble Baroness recall that last week she told the House that 23% of six-months-to-live diagnoses turned out to be wrong and that people lived longer? Does that not make the whole position of face-to-face diagnosis much more important when doctors
2026-01-26 ILO Convention 190
Does the Minister agree that those in Downing Street should accept that the ILO convention applies to them as well when it comes to meting out violence and harassment on Labour colleagues whose only crime is that they think they could run the country bet
2026-01-23 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
I am very grateful to the noble Baroness. That just illustrates my point that misdiagnosis can very easily be done, and we are putting an enormous weight on it in this Bill and it can so often be wrong. We should be very disturbed and concerned about tha
2026-01-23 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My noble friend Lord Harper is absolutely right: he is still with us, but he is absent for the moment. It might have been that, when he was given his diagnosis that he had six months to live, he was told that his final months would be very grim indeed an
2026-01-23 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I put my name to Amendment 313. My concern is the whole question of misdiagnosis. My noble friend Lord Shinkwin has addressed the fact that he was diagnosed with a terminal illness some time ago. One assumption running through this Bill and thr
2026-01-23 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
If I understand the noble Baroness correctly, that is 23% of people who die well beyond the six-month sentence they have been given. That is an extraordinarily large figure, and I am grateful to her for it. I think that makes us question the whole basis
2026-01-16 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Does the noble Baroness not share my concerns about the misdiagnosis of six months, when you think of all the people who live for much longer afterwards?
2026-01-15 Iran
I have been listening to the noble Baroness’s answers, and I do not think I have heard an answer on whether the Government actually support regime change in Iran. I do not think she would be betraying any confidences if she can clarify that issue.
2026-01-15 Iran
If the noble Lord, Lord Anderson, is right and there is unlikely to be any internal pressure to achieve regime change in Iran, the only thing that will achieve it will be outside military intervention. Do the Government support that, and is it likely to
