British Steel
On nationalisation, have the Government also taken responsibility for the historical debts and borrowings, pre-spring 2025, that the company incurred under Chinese owners? That is a very large historical debt that we should not have to share.

British Steel
Can I confirm that the Minister said yes when I asked whether the state is taking responsibility for all the historical debts and borrowings?

EU Security Action for Europe Programme
My Lords, I congratulate the Government on not accepting totally unacceptable terms on the first idea from the EU. Can the Minister confirm that our defence contractors can look forward to a very big increase in orders for our own defence requirements, s

Artificial Intelligence: Legislation
What benefits and staff reductions will the Government achieve with their £3 billion commitment to spending on AI for their own purposes?

Maximum Temperature for Indoor Workplaces
Why do the Government think that this country has such a low level of air conditioning systems installed, and will they look again at their rather negative guidance on their acquisition?

Taxation (Energy and Vehicles) Bill
My Lords, I fully support my noble friend Lady Neville-Rolfe in her general statement about what needs to be done and in her specific criticisms and support for measures in this Bill. It is right that the best way out of the financial hole the Government

State of Climate and Nature
Why cut back and close jobs at home, shutting down oil and gas, food production and our factories when it increases world CO2? This is self-harm on a crazy scale. Why do the Government want to lose jobs and investment?
My Lords, the noble Baroness, Lady Grender, posed an interesting question when she said that she thought that the mixture of amendments in this grouping created a tension and that maybe Amendment 4 was not compatible because it was trying to reduce the a
My Lords, this is a very strange Bill; it is a Bill in search of a purpose, which proposes and transfers substantial powers to a regulatory body but which gives us no road map for how those powers are going to be used. In the debates we have had so far a

Clean Water Bill: Chalk Streams
Can the Government give us their estimate of the cost and the timetable for putting in the extra pipes and processing capacity so that we can clean up our rivers?
2026-07-09
Foreign Interference in UK Politics
What are the Minister’s thoughts on the past intervention of President Obama in the British referendum, which rather backfired, and what would he think if leading Republican politicians today, for example, get energetically behind Rupert Lowe’s party?
What diplomatic exchanges have the Government had with Mauritius over the nuclear capabilities of Diego Garcia, in the light of their wish to give the freehold away?

UK Migration
What sustainable rate of net inward migration would the Government like to see going forward?

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill
My Lords, I am so glad my noble friend has raised once again this crucial and fundamental point. It is of great importance and of help to the Government.
When I have in the past had some responsibility for trying to recover the financial position of t

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill
My Lords, I support my noble friends on the issue of the affirmative resolution. I think it is a superior device, given the importance of the matters that could be brought before us. I also fully support the idea of a proper impact assessment, which sho

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill
My Lords, I am very grateful that my noble friend has raised this important point. We would probably not be having these big debates about steel nationalisation if the United Kingdom in recent years had had competitive energy pricing, and if it had not g

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill
My Lords, I too welcome this from the Government. I think they will find it very helpful because, should we move on to the full acquisition of British Steel at Scunthorpe, there remain, as I understand it, financial issues outstanding with the current Ch

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill
My Lords, two years is quite enough for these powers, and it is generous of my noble friend to suggest allowing another two-year extension. As I understand it, these steel matters are being considered under a £2.5 billion multiyear estimate, which was me

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill
My Lords, there will be an issue with the public interest case, if and when we get to the full nationalisation of British Steel at Scunthorpe. Many of us are unclear as to whether the Government’s aim is to find a medium-term or longer-term solution to t

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill
My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Fox, for reminding us of the importance of contingent liabilities and the need for the Government to complete due diligence before any acquisition. He rightly says that in a hypothetical case—not British St

Railways Bill
I agree with the Minister’s three main aims for railway improvement. He is right that punctuality is insufficient. Last year, under 85% of trains arrived within three minutes of timetable and over 4% of services were cancelled altogether. He is right tha

Military Conflicts: International Law
My Lords, why does the Attorney-General wish to break the US-UK treaty on Diego Garcia, when the ICJ has no ability to order us around on Commonwealth and defence matters, and we need to keep that base?
My Lords, my sister died at birth, so I remember well the impact this has on families. What more can the Government and the NHS do to help those families who have lost a baby in such painful circumstances, or who are now bringing up a disabled child as a
I urge Ministers to look again at the giving away of the Chagos. There is no legal need to do so, and my noble friend Lord Cameron, as Foreign Secretary, realised that, did not do so, and had the full support of many of us.

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill
My Lords, these are indeed important amendments. It is a tragedy what has been happening to our steel industry in this country. It suffered considerable decline under the last Government thanks to very high energy prices and decarbonisation, which turned
