My Lords, I shall make just a very brief intervention. First, I disclose that, since retiring from the Supreme Court, I practise as an arbitrator. I have also taken part in the representations which were made to the Law Commission, and indeed met with it

Well, my Lords, if your Lordships feel that, you will vote against the Motion and we will bring it back on the next occasion. But I think I must press it, in the sense that it is a carefully considered set of proposals that I do not accept are fundamenta
2021-07-06 Conduct
My Lords, I am grateful for those comments. The observations from the noble Lord, Lord Cormack, were not directly related to the matter before the House. He focused, as he has done before, on Valuing Everyone training. I have of course done it myself; I
