Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, I have a number of amendments in this group on the subject of fraud and scams. I have also added my support to the lead amendment, which was tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Kramer, and to which she has just spoken. Most of my amendments aris

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
If the review is going to be completed in October, presumably there will then be a period of time when the Government will consider it. In my experience, that usually takes several months, by which time the Bill will be law. I struggle to understand how

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
It is very nice to be back to do another Financial Services and Markets Bill. As it is the first time I have spoken, I should declare a registered interest in Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., which is a large American company that provides s

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, as this is the first time I have spoken on the Bill, I would normally apologise for not taking part in Second Reading but—how I can put this—I was enjoying my temporary retirement from the House.

Russian Shadow Fleet
My Lords, what assessment have the Government made of the role of Greece with the Russian shadow fleet? Many of these ships appear to have been previously Greek-owned, and we have the ship-to-ship transfers of oil that are taking place in the Aegean Sea.

Pension Schemes Bill
My Lords, I will briefly add my support to Motion A1 from the noble Baroness, Lady Bowles, to remove the mandation reserved power. On Monday, the Minister told us:

To follow up on that, can the Minister explain how a windfall tax paid to the Treasury ends up reducing people’s bills?

Pension Schemes Bill
My Lords, I want very quickly to ask the Minister a question on Motions D and D1. I say at the outset that I agree with almost every word that the noble Baroness, Lady Altmann, said. I entirely agree that one year is too short. I have at least two pensio

My Lords, I offer Motion E1, in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Bowles, my wholehearted support. I also say in passing that I wholeheartedly support Motion G1 in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Noakes.
The Minister has once again explained t

Security Vetting
My Lords, we have had a lot of discussions in this House over the last year about employment rights and particularly about unfair dismissal. To be fair, a dismissal must have a valid reason—we cannot make a rigid judgment on the dismissal of Olly Robbins

Pension Schemes Bill
As I understand the noble Baroness’s argument, the focus on cost is the problem. This Bill solves that with the value-for-money framework, so why do we also need the mandation power?

Pension Schemes Bill
My Lords, when you are trying to solve a problem, it is best to try to understand the root causes of the problem and then resolve those causes—diagnose and treat the disease, not the symptoms. That is why I have repeatedly asked the Minister why she beli

Peatland Restoration
My Lords, I declare my interest as a trustee of the Galloway Fisheries Trust and chairman of the Fleet District Salmon Fishery Board. The single biggest cause of peatland destruction has been the historic indiscriminate planting of non-native conifers on

Pension Schemes: Ministerial Powers
My Lords, can the Minister perhaps tell us why she thinks pension funds are not currently investing, or have not been investing, in the types of assets that she would like them to? I ask that question because surely the better way forward is to understan
My Lords, I start by declaring an interest: I have a registerable shareholding in Fidelity National Information Services Inc. It has been fascinating to be a member of this committee, which for this report, as we have heard, was so ably chaired by the no

Gibraltar Treaty
My Lords, we have the current slightly bizarre situation where British military aircraft flying into RAF Gibraltar are not allowed to overfly Spanish airspace. Is that resolved by this treaty or not?

Pension Schemes Bill
My Lords, I apologise for not being able to be here last week for Amendment 142. I am grateful that the Minister responded to it regardless of that. I have added my name to Amendment 167. I will try to be very brief because the noble Baroness, Lady Krame

My Lords, before I start, I apologise to the Grand Committee for failing to be here to speak a previous amendment. It was unavoidable, unfortunately. I am very grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Palmer, for stepping into the breach. I have had an exciting
