My Lords, it feels strange to be addressing your Lordships’ House on the question of reform of the membership of the House of Lords while not being directly in the crosshairs of the process, as has occurred on every previous occasion. When I re-entered t

Tax Burden and Economic Growth
My Lords, coming to the basics of the argument, why do the Government believe that raising taxes and increasing regulation promote growth?

Charities: Banking Services
Do charities that have a politically exposed person such as a Member of Parliament or, indeed, a Member of your Lordships’ House on the board as a trustee face additional complications in gaining banking services?

Natural England: Gamebird Release Licensing
It has been estimated that shooting contributes more than £3 billion to the United Kingdom economy. Is that a figure that the noble Baroness supports?
My Lords, very briefly, I support my noble friend Lord Kirkhope’s Amendment 41. I declare my own interest as the holder of a private pilot’s licence and as the owner and operator of a light aircraft.
I thought my noble friends, both on Report and earl

UK Migration
My Lords, when will the Government have a computerised system in place that can accurately track both entry into and exit from the United Kingdom, and therefore give the Government an accurate picture of who is here and what their status is at any one ti
My Lords, my noble friend Lord Moylan has done the Committee a service by bringing to our attention some of the conflicts within the Bill in terms of rule and regulation-making powers. I should add that I am a member of the Delegated Powers Committee. I
My Lords, I support the noble Lord, Lord Berkeley, in this group of amendments.
We are fortunate to have air ambulance services operating in the United Kingdom. It is important to stress that these are typically not government-provided services; they

Rural Economy
My Lords, I declare at the outset that I live in rural Devon and own a small farm.
This House has a great deal of experience and expertise in farming and rural affairs, as demonstrated in the debate. However, I lament the experience that has been lost

My Lords, I have involvement with two Motions in this group. The first is Motion E, which relates to Amendment 12, which would transfer the responsibility for dealing with fly-tipping from landowners to the local waste authority. When we considered the a

Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, I support my noble friend Lady Buscombe in the thrust of what she is seeking to achieve with her Amendment 387A. I do not think I heard my noble friend say that this would be a panacea or the answer to this complex situation, which clearly need

Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, I am afraid that I really cannot let the Minister get away with that. I think that all Members who have spoken in today’s debate, and in previous debates, are absolutely unanimous about the degree to which there is a problem. I do not accept th

My Lords, we covered these matters pretty thoroughly during discussion of a number of amendments in Committee. As we are now on Report, I shall get quickly to the nub of the issue that I should like to discuss, which reflects a lot of what my noble frien

My Lords, I am grateful for the support of my noble friend.
This is an important issue. I have campaigned for many years around fly-tipping and the importance of having a stronger regulatory settlement, so I very much support my noble friend’s amendme

Police Reform White Paper
My Lords, the Government should be commended for coming forward with bold proposals. It is clear that the existing structures are rooted in a situation from way before we had the levels of mobility, technology and new crimes that are coming forward and t

My Lords, it is with great trepidation that I speak, very briefly. Having heard such powerful legal voices discussing these issues—and I hugely respect the legal expertise that we have in the House—on the basis of what we have heard and how the Governmen
My Lords, given what the Minister has quite rightly said about enforcement, why do the Government and the police appear to tolerate the use on our streets of illegal, high-powered electric motorcycles, particularly by delivery companies, which bear no re
