2026-06-15 Social Housing Bill [HL]
I think we are most grateful to the Minister for that very positive response, and I am personally very grateful for that very encouraging response to Amendment 51. It would be great to finish day 1’s proceedings with some violent agreement that we all wa
2026-06-15 Social Housing Bill [HL]
In my view, this group is focused on what is in some ways the most important question, which is not just how we protect the public housing stock, but how we increase the availability of social homes, particularly social homes for rent. I think pretty muc

2026-06-15 Social Housing Bill [HL]
My Lords, the Minister has referred a number of times to the publication of the impact assessment. I am not aware that the Minister wrote to Members of this House who spoke at Second Reading or who might be tabling amendments this evening to draw attenti
2026-06-15 Social Housing Bill [HL]
I was not planning to speak in this group, but, after listening to my noble friend and other noble Lords, and after reading Clause 9, it is clear that the Government are intending to take a power to reduce the amount that is payable to the Secretary of S
2026-06-15 Social Housing Bill [HL]
My Lords, I support my noble friend in her amendment. I should declare this first time in Committee my interests, as recorded in the register, as chair of the Cambridgeshire Development Forum and adviser to other development forums, although all the view
2026-06-10 New Towns: Laying the Foundations (Built Environment Committee Report)
My Lords, it is a great pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Cameron of Dillington, and my noble friend Lord Gascoigne. I pay credit to my noble friend and the noble Lord, Lord Cameron, for the work that they did in this committee and continue to do.
2026-06-09 Commercial Payments Bill [HL]
My Lords, I am pleased to follow the noble Baroness, Lady Alexander of Cleveden, who made some important points about enforceability and escaping avoidance of the provisions. I will come on in a few moments to talk about some of the other issues raised b
2026-06-01 Social Housing Bill [HL]
My Lords, I declare an interest as chair of the Cambridgeshire Development Forum, as an adviser to development forums in Norfolk, Suffolk, Cheshire and the Thames Valley, and as a member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Households in Temporary Ac
2026-05-18 EU-UK SPS Agreement: Food-related Standards
I declare an interest, as my wife’s company in Brussels works on the new genomic techniques that have been filed with the European Commission. The Minister might like, in the negotiations, to treat the question of alignment between our precision-breeding
2026-04-28 UK Biobank Data
My Lords, I declare an interest as a participant in UK Biobank. It is not the first time I have said that: when I was Secretary of State, I said it in the context of encouraging people to support UK Biobank. Does the Minister agree that, notwithstanding
2026-04-28 Lord Mandelson Humble Address: Government Response Update
My Lords, in addition to the redactions the Minister referred to in her Statement for reasons of national security, international relations, names of junior officials, email addresses and legal privilege, are there any other reasons for redaction? There
2026-04-24 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
With the greatest respect to a number of noble Lords, I think what we are hearing is, in a sense, what we would have heard had we taken the Bill to Third Reading. We are hearing debates about the principle of the Bill, whereas this debate should be about
2026-04-22 British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme
My Lords, the alleviation of the high policy costs imposed on energy-intensive and internationally competitive manufacturing in this country is to be welcomed. I will ask a question about the manufacturing sectors that will benefit from the BICS. These a
2026-04-21 Local Authorities (Changes to Years of Ordinary Elections) (England) (Revocation) Order 2026
The Minister has not told us at all, and nor indeed does the Explanatory Memorandum tell us, the nature of the legal vulnerability that was implicit in the decision to reconsider. The fact that the decision had to be taken by an independent Minister in h
2026-04-21 Local Authorities (Changes to Years of Ordinary Elections) (England) (Revocation) Order 2026
Did I? Sorry—2021, serving all the way through to 2027, maybe even to 2028 in practice, and overlapping with unitary councils that are to be established with elections taking place in May 2027. As I think I have demonstrated through my difficulty in t
2026-04-21 Local Authorities (Changes to Years of Ordinary Elections) (England) (Revocation) Order 2026
My Lords, I want to intervene briefly by referring to the example of Suffolk. I entirely agree with my noble friend on the Front Bench about these issues. I draw attention to the fact that I chair the Cambridgeshire Development Forum and support the Norf
2026-04-15 Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) (Amendment) Regulations 2026
I am grateful for the offer of further discussions and a round table, but there are several numbers relating to the number of providers that might be anticipated to require registration. We keep coming back to this figure of 36 in the impact assessment,
2026-04-15 Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) (Amendment) Regulations 2026
I shall speak briefly to this statutory instrument and ask a number of questions, if I may, to which I hope the Minister will be able to respond. I think that I understand the structure of what is proposed and the exclusion of first aid so that it is not
2026-03-27 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
In Amendment 189, the lead amendment in this group, my noble friend is looking for who one goes to in order to provide the necessary assistance to a person if the original conversation is not something the doctor wants to pursue. All doctors are supposed
2026-03-27 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
I entirely agree with what the noble Lord, Lord Stevens of Birmingham, just said. We just heard from the Minister that one of the possible implications of the Bill is that, because of Clause 41(4), the NHS Act 2006 would need to be amended in order to br
2026-03-24 English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill
My Lords, as this is the first time I have spoken on Report, I remind the House that I am chair of the Cambridgeshire Development Forum. I provide advice to the Norfolk and Suffolk, Thames Valley and greater Cheshire development forums as well. I apologi

2026-03-03 Tobacco and Vapes Bill
I say a big thank you to the Minister for listening; as she rightly said, she has listened and taken on board the comments made in Committee. Amendment 78, which I tabled in Committee, is in fact in the same terms as the Minister’s Amendment 64, which sh
2026-03-03 Tobacco and Vapes Bill
I am most grateful to the Minister and for the support from the noble Earl, Lord Russell, and my noble friend Lord Kamall. With those assurances, I beg leave to withdraw Amendment 124.
