My Lords, it is customary to congratulate the chair of the committee—in this case, the noble Baroness, Lady Taylor—on the report being debated, but I am afraid I cannot do that because it is completely incoherent. Let me explain why. I am going to be 85

El Niño
It is not because of climate change. El Niño pre-dates climate change.
The Minister has made it quite clear that he wants to see this on the statute book. Is it being blocked by the Treasury?

Future Capability of the Armed Forces
The JEF point is interesting. Does the Minister agree that, if neutral countries such as Finland and Sweden can join, then so could Ukraine?

Future Capability of the Armed Forces
My Lords, I join my noble friend Lord Ahmad in congratulating the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Southwark on his final speech. I hope he enjoys an excellent retirement and has every opportunity to go on worshipping God and doing his best to swell

Waste Management Carriers: Regulation
My Lords, does the Minister not accept that the dumping of illegal waste is a direct result of the quite high charges that are made for dumping legally? Should not some of the money raised from legal dumping be allocated to clearing away illegal waste?

G7 Summit
My Lords, can the Minister update us on the coalition of the willing in terms of the final settlement that there will be on any peace agreement in Ukraine? Does she accept that the coalition of the willing will form the basis of European defence in the f

DVLA: Staffing Levels
The fact that it is taking 66 days to answer would explain my problem, as I met all the DVLA’s criteria when I replied in an email on 27 March. If my Question were to have come up next month, we would have been commemorating three months of me waiting to

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

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?

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?

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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?
