Or would they like to limit the number of Cross-Benchers, or former trade union officials? The idea that, under the cloak of claiming that the House is too large, a Government, of whatever political persuasion, can play fast and loose with Members of the
My Lords, I am not sure if one has to declare an interest now, if you are an old man, but anyway. I am told that the reason for wishing to get rid of Members of this House who are over 80 is that there are too many Peers. I cannot think why this opinion

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, my Amendment 95 raises the issue of non-compete legislation. When this was raised in Committee, the Minister undertook to respond. His response was to refer to a 2025 working paper, but action is needed. Could I urge the Minister to pursue this

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, I support Amendment 172E in the name of my noble friend Lady Neville-Rolfe. She expressed her support for it far more ably than I ever could, but I want to say that it would be unrealistic to think that sophisticated financial businesses with c

My Lords, I declare my interest as a farmer and the owner of a country estate.
When considering the rural economy—which, after all, consists mainly of people working hard for long hours with little reward, frequently for the good of others—we should r

Tobacco and Vapes Bill
My Lords, my Amendment 200A touches on a different theme from the other amendments that I have tabled. As my noble friend Lord Howe commented, it is a probing amendment to test the Government’s attitude to small shops and the burdens that they face. I en

Tobacco and Vapes Bill
My amendment seeks to allow ministerial discretion for heated tobacco products. As I have said previously, we know that vapes and heated tobacco products are much safer than smoked tobacco products. We need a regime of regulation that promotes switching

My Lords, I will speak to the amendments in my name in this group, starting with Amendment 87FB. These are about bats, which I will come on to in a minute.
In the meantime, I would like to say that His Majesty’s Government have made a number of statem

My Lords, Amendment 346DB in my name is a probing amendment to debate what can be done to get rid of the absurd rules relating to bats—I am resisting calling them “batty”. The legislation is complex, but that does not alter the need for something to be d

As my amendment alluded to, the Government’s definition of a pet is very broad and open to debate, although I believe that the Minister’s remarks were helpful. As we have heard from my noble friend Lord Dobbs, the definition could be stretched to the ext
