My Lords, it has been a very interesting day. I think all Members have learned something from somebody else. I am not sure whether there are any two Members in the House who actually agree perfectly on every aspect of what we are talking about, but I th
My Lords, it is probably quite appropriate that we are going to discuss this immediately after we have heard several comments about us being a self-governing House, because it enters into this as well.
I start by thanking those members of the committe

Sporting Events Bill [HL]
My Lords, if no one else wants to follow the noble Lord, I will add my support to the case that he is making. Like him, I raised this at Second Reading, and I agree with every word he has said, so I do not want my noble friend the Minister to think that
My Lords, I am pleased to introduce this debate on the report The Building Safety Regulator: Building a Better Regulator, which was published by the Industry and Regulators Committee in early December. As is often the case, we have to wait some time for
That the Grand Committee takes note of the Report from the Industry and Regulators Committee The Building Safety Regulator: Building a Better Regulator (2nd Report, HL Paper 225, Session 2024–26).
My Lords, I said at the beginning that there was a wealth of experience in this Room; the speeches that we have heard this afternoon prove that. Every individual person has added their own insight into the nature of the problems that we are talking about

Sporting Events Bill [HL]
My Lords, I am tempted to follow what the noble Lord, Lord Hayward, was saying, but not quite in the way he suggested; I am tempted to follow up what he said about referees, particularly in the Scottish context, not least because my Scottish team of Moth

Sporting Events Bill [HL]
I have thought of raising this with our noble friend Lord Hendy, who seems to be on top of all those issues.
I will point out one other anomaly, despite the time. Literally the biggest game in English women’s football—the Women’s Cup Final—was held at

I think the noble Lord is barking up the wrong tree. On this occasion, there were no strikes involved in those disruptions.

My Lords, I know nothing of the detail of what was said, the circumstances or whatever, but, as someone who has attended football matches in many stadia over many years, I know that some very unpleasant things happen and we need the ability to have footb

King’s Speech
My Lords, how to follow that? It is not often that a Member of this House is heard in such silence and with such reverence. It is a great privilege to follow the noble Lord, Lord Hennessy, and we are all delighted to see him back in his place. We regret
My Lords, I start by thanking everyone for their contributions, and for the fact that the report has had a generally very good reception. The debate has been quite wide-ranging, and we have gone into very granular detail on some occasions, but we have no

Football Governance Bill [HL]
Time is late, so I do not want to go through the whole history of Bolton Wanderers, but the noble Lord’s facts are not quite correct. What we are concentrating on here is that all clubs should have a better business approach to football and not just rely

Football Governance Bill [HL]
My Lords, I will say a few words in support of what the Minister said this evening. It is right that we talk a little about the new arrangements for mediation and the backstop. The original amendment was overcomplex, but many of us were concerned about t

Independent Schools: Tax Changes
My Lords, will my noble friend say a little more about what is happening to school rolls? Is it not a fact that, because of the declining birth rate, rolls are falling generally and there are state schools closing because of falling rolls, as well as pri

Football Governance Bill [HL]
My Lords, I have tabled amendments asking that Parliament should fulfil its role of scrutinising regulators across the board. I am glad that, in this one respect, my noble friend the Minister has taken that on board with this particular regulator in ter

Football Governance Bill [HL]
My Lords, I want to say a few words, because the whole House acknowledges that the noble Lord, Lord Birt, is trying to be constructive here. He, with his colleagues, has produced some incredibly detailed amendments, and that is partly what concerns me. I

My Lords, I start by reminding the House that the Bill will not abolish parachute payments or change the architecture in the way that has just been suggested. When the noble Lord, Lord Markham, talked about the need to have confidence, so that clubs can

Football Governance Bill [HL]
My Lords, I want to say a few words on this amendment because I have a great deal of sympathy with what the noble Lord, Lord Addington, has been saying, although I am not sure that this is the vehicle for what he actually wants to do. There are many conc

My Lords, I just want to reassure the noble Baroness, who was unfortunately not able to attend the FA meeting yesterday, that the FA was very explicit—and it was asked very directly—that it is content with this Bill. It assured those of us who were prese

Football Governance Bill [HL]
My Lords, we have spent some seven days discussing the detail of the Bill, and I think this is probably the first time I can rise and say that I actually agree with the noble Baroness, Lady Brady. It is true that football has the power to do an awful lot

My Lords, I am afraid that, although the hour is late, I cannot resist saying a few words about the suggestion that we should have a sunset clause. I am somewhat surprised that the noble Lord, Lord Goodman, has presented what is a very bureaucratic way o
