Representation of the People Bill
My Lords, this is a very wide-ranging Bill—almost too wide-ranging—but it has some sensible proposals on electoral administration. It also has a number of proposals for which, as other noble Lords have said, there will probably be unintended consequences

My Lords, there I was thinking that we had a Minister who was going to be much more reassuring, but, in fact, that was a very negative response. All the things he said have already happened and could be happening in more detail if the Government were to

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, I want to support Amendment 8, but no one seems to have spoken to it, so is it in order for me to say a few words on it? It is an important amendment because it contains really the only mention in the whole Bill of post offices. The amendment,

Falkland Islands
My Lords, I welcome the noble Baroness to her position and the unanimity of the House on this issue. Argentina obviously has a lot of international support for its claim, which worries me. If a UN advisory council committee were to say that the Falklands
My Lords, these regulations were imposed without any discussion with parliamentarians in Northern Ireland, and I think this is totally unacceptable. Of course, the Government are now saying that this is better for the internal market, which is just not t

My Lords, it is very refreshing to have a Prime Minister who looks like he wants to be Prime Minister and is enjoying it. I also welcome his very first announcement that showed his interest in sport. When he was a spad, back when I was Sports Minister, h
My Lords, I thank all the noble Lords who have spoken, particularly my colleagues from Northern Ireland. The noble Baroness, Lady Ritchie, tends to come in on all these SIs and support the Windsor Framework, but does not really seem to take a detailed in

Death of Ann Widdecombe
My Lords, Ann and I were on totally different sides in the hunting debate, which went on for many hours in the other place. All through that we remained friends, because Ann understood that differences could be respected. She was in a minority in her par
My Lords, I add my support to all those who have spoken to the amendments. If we pass one of these amendments, it will send a message and signal that what airports are doing is not right—and it will get worse unless we show that, while we understand that
