And I was right.
2026-07-15 Sporting Events Bill [HL]
My Lords, I just inform the House that although I did advise my noble friend that he had 15 minutes, I also advised him that I did not think he would be very popular if he availed himself of the full 15.
2026-07-13 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, the next amendment is long but it has been circulated. Normally, everything is read out for a manuscript amendment but, with the leave of the House, if it is moved, it will not be read out in full. Amendment 69A
2026-06-18 Prostate Cancer Screening: AI
My Lords, at the other end of the scale of artificial intelligence is canine intelligence. The wonderful charity Medical Detection Dogs has had wonderful results in early and accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer. Are the Government looking at this as on
2026-03-19 Refugee Movements: Lebanon
My Lords, the Palestinian refugee camps have been particularly affected by the military action. I have visited Shatila and Ain al-Hilweh in Lebanon, and life was pretty fragile at the best of times. I understand that the Lebanese Government are doing all

2026-03-18 Crime and Policing Bill
As the noble Baroness, Lady Falkner of Margravine, has already pointed out, if Amendment 422E is agreed to, I am unable to call Amendments 423, 423ZA or 423A by reason of pre-emption.
2026-02-03 Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
Before the noble Baroness tells us what she is going to do, I turn to the noble Lord, Lord Freyberg, to find out what he is going to do with his amendments.

I cannot call Amendment 355A, as it is an amendment to Amendment 355.

My Lords, Amendment 130 cannot be called as it is an amendment to Amendment 129.
2025-10-22 Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, the Question should be that further consideration on Report be now adjourned.
2025-09-12 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, it is 19 years since I first spoke in your Lordships’ House on the hugely emotive topic of assisted dying. My view then, that however well-intentioned legislation may be, the safeguards just are not good enough, has not changed in the interveni

My Lords, if Amendment 211 is agreed to, I will be unable to call Amendment 215 by reason of pre-emption.
2025-06-24 Employment Rights Bill
My Lords, there is an error in the page numbering of Amendment 334A, which means that it was marshalled incorrectly. It should have been marshalled as Amendment 330DA, so I will now dispose of Amendment 334A, which was already debated. The noble Lord, Lo
2025-06-16 Conflict in the Middle East
My Lords, I welcome the Statement and the sensitive way in which the Minister has answered questions at a very difficult time. Last week in the other place, the Minister for the Middle East, Hamish Falconer, said right at the beginning of his Statement:
2025-05-13 Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
My Lords, I declare my interests as set out in the register. Last week, the Palestinian Authority declared a famine in Gaza. It was caused not by a flood, by a drought or by any natural causes; it is entirely manmade. I welcome what the Lord Privy Seal s
2025-05-07 Middle East Update
My Lords, I declare my interests as set out in the register. I very much thank the Minister for his comments and the Government for their support. The Government are absolutely right to oppose the expansion of Israel’s operation in Gaza and to question h

2025-03-18 Gaza: Ceasefire
My Lords, I declare my interests as set out in the register. Given the horrifying events of the last 24 hours, there is an inescapable irony in uttering the words “durability” and “ceasefire in Gaza” in the same breath. The Minister talked about diploma
