Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, like many in this House, I have always opposed a change in the law to allow for assisted dying. I understand the sincere motivations of those who desire to change the law, and I have listened to the many eloquent speeches given by Peers across
My Lords, I thank the Minister for her presentation. I am pleased to support the order. We all have a responsibility to ensure that peace, stability and justice are protected and long-lasting. It is important to acknowledge that good progress regarding t

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
My Lords, I thank the Minister for the care and sensitivity that she has displayed in introducing this important Bill. Balance is very important. I must declare two interests: first, I was for many years a grammar school teacher; secondly, I have a grand

Armed Forces Commissioner Bill
My Lords, I pay tribute to the role that the Armed Forces have played in Northern Ireland in bringing about the peace process—I should have said that before. I listened carefully to the Minister, for whom I have great respect, and I know that the Governm

Armed Forces Commissioner Bill
My Lords, I shall speak to Amendment 20 in the name of my noble friend Lord Hay of Ballyore, which I have signed. My noble friend apologises for his absence, as he is attending his son’s wedding this week.
This is an important Bill, and one that I bro

Armed Forces Commissioner Bill
My Lords, I welcome the Armed Forces Commissioner Bill. We all owe a great debt to the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve us so valiantly in our Armed Forces, at home and in combat abroad. In my part of the United Kingdom, Northern
My Lords, the issues tonight need to be addressed collectively. Any primary legislation ought to take a broad, forward-facing approach, rather than narrowly focusing on the discrete issues raised either in the legacy Act or by the Court of Appeal. For mu

Gambling Levy Regulations 2025
My Lords, while I welcome the Government’s intention to implement a statutory levy, as provided for in the 2005 Act, I am concerned that the levy set out in the draft regulations has not gone far enough, because it has been fixed at such a low level tha

Inheritance Tax, National Insurance and VAT
My Lords, I support my noble friend Lord Morrow’s Question.
The tax changes made in the recent Budget will clearly affect many parts of society throughout all the regions of the United Kingdom. With reference to the increase in national insurance cont
My Lords, I support this draft instrument. It goes a long way in allowing the police and law enforcement agencies to seize and recover illicit proceeds of criminal activity. Unfortunately, in Northern Ireland the threat from terrorism remains at “substan
My Lords, this is yet another example of Northern Ireland being subject to EU laws under the Northern Ireland protocol and Windsor agreement so, first, I declare that I remain 100% opposed to the Windsor Framework and the protocol. I will ask the Ministe

Flight Cancellations
My Lords, does the Minister agree that removing UK air passenger duty on flights from Northern Ireland would encourage air carriers to open up new routes, allowing Northern Ireland airports to be more competitive with Dublin airport, which would prove be
My Lords, I support the Motion moved by the noble Baroness, Lady Hoey. The regulations referenced in this evening’s Motion do not deal with the imposition of the large swathes of EU law which impinge on Northern Ireland’s economy. The regulations before

King’s Speech
My Lords, it is a great pleasure to take part in this debate on the humble Address, and I congratulate the Government on their success in the election. I also congratulate the noble and learned Lord, Lord Hermer, on his maiden speech. I know that his vas

Company Directors: Identification
My Lords, I congratulate the noble Lord, Lord Mann, on his Question. I stand here today as a victim of identity theft. I was listed as a director of a bogus company back in 2021 and became aware of that only recently. I can tell the House that it was not

British Nationality (Irish Citizens) Bill
My Lords, I support this Private Member’s Bill and congratulate my noble friend Lord Hay of Ballyore on securing it, along with Gavin Robinson MP, who steered it successfully through the other place on 26 April 2024.

Northern Ireland
My Lords, I welcome the opportunity to debate the Motion on the humble Address before us this evening. I am pleased to support the amendment in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Hoey. The economic and cultural ties that bond the various parts of this
I assert to the noble Lord, Lord Bew, that this is referred to in our first objective:
“The Irish Sea border must go”.
This Government pledged to protect and strengthen the UK internal market as part of New Decade, New Approach. We said that this
My Lords, the two statutory instruments before us tonight are supposedly designed to protect the union and to promote the free movement of goods. I contend that both these regulations fall well short of meeting their objectives. It is clear that the Nort
My Lords, in this 25th anniversary of the Belfast/Good Friday agreement, the regulations before us today are profoundly destabilising. The Windsor Framework has subjected itself to the Good Friday agreement by devoting its first and second articles to se

King’s Speech
My Lords, it is a privilege to speak in the debate on the humble Address in this His Majesty the King’s first Speech as our monarch. As a committed unionist, I am totally supportive of the union in all its aspects, and I trust that the packages and polic
My Lords, I am not convinced that the regulations before us today are intra vires, for exactly the same reasons I doubt that the Windsor enforcement regulations are intra vires. I set out in detail the reason why I am unconvinced about this in my speech
My Lords, having listened to my noble friends, it is doubtful that these regulations are intra vires. They are tied umbilically to regulation 2023/1231, which, as we have seen, rather than removing the border down the Irish Sea, bestows on it an alternat

Northern Ireland Budget (No. 2) Bill
My Lords, I thank the Minister for his detailed explanation of the budget. However, it is a matter of regret that once again we have been tasked with considering a budget for the people of Northern Ireland. As with the previous budget discussed in your L
