My Lords, it is a great privilege to open this debate, especially with the high calibre of people proposing to participate in it. The basic science of global warming is rock solid, but we have been told fairy tales about its economics ever since the C

2026-05-14 King’s Speech
My Lords, does the noble Baroness speak to the NFU, which does not want to rejoin Europe because it believes that the divergences from EU rules since Brexit have benefited it enormously? Doing away with those divergences would cost £600 million to £800 m
2026-05-14 King’s Speech
My Lords, it is always a great and nostalgic pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Liddle, whose enthusiasm for rejoining the European Union reminds me of the remarks of Samuel Johnson about a friend of his who was contemplating a second marriage—that

My Lords, it is a great privilege to follow the noble Lords, Lord Murphy and Lord Carlile. I do so with some temerity; I cannot understand why I have been put so high up the list, since my expertise in these areas is probably less than almost everybody e
2026-03-16 Treaty Scrutiny in Westminster (International Agreements Committee Report)
My Lords, I congratulate the committee and its chairman on the report. I hesitate to participate in this debate since I have limited expertise in foreign affairs, and still less on the scrutiny of foreign treaties, but I was puzzled by the report’s focus
2026-03-11 Secondary International Competitiveness and Growth Objective (FSR Committee Report)
My Lords, it has been a great pleasure and privilege to serve on this committee, not just because I have served under the distinguished and stimulating chairmanship first of my noble friend Lord Forsyth and now of my noble friend Lady Noakes but because
2026-03-03 Carbon Budget 6
My Lords, given that the pursuit of carbon budgets has so far given us the highest electricity prices in the OECD, can the Minister confirm that the pursuit of decarbonisation has so far primarily resulted in the deindustrialisation of Britian, and that

2026-02-05 US Department of Justice Release of Files
My Lords, can the Minister tell us what role Peter Mandelson played as ambassador in convincing the American Government of the merits of the Chagos deal? Did he discuss it personally with the President and the Secretaries of State? In so doing, did he ho

In fact, it was jointly negotiated by member states and the European Commission. I was there for all nine days of the negotiations in the Heysel stadium, so the noble Lord is wrong.

My Lords, it is a great pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Docherty of Milngavie, to congratulate him on his excellent and witty speech and to welcome him to your Lordships’ House, where he will no longer have to depend on the votes of his opponents
2026-01-22 Diego Garcia: Comments by the President of the United States
My Lords, the Government claim that, although neither the International Court of Justice nor the tribunal of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea can reach a judgment binding on us on the sovereignty of Chagos, other countries may respond to opinions
2026-01-12 Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
My Lords, apart from thanking the Minister and her noble colleague for the courteous way in which they have responded the points I made—which she found exuberant and my noble colleague found forensic—I can limit my remarks to four sentences, two of which
2026-01-12 Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
I am sorry that the Minister has chosen to end this debate adopting a totally different tone from that which she pursued during Committee and Report. I asked a clear question: which goods, services and facilities will be withheld by which countries if we

My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for responding to my points. I still do not think she has explained why a delay would weaken our negotiating position when that position has been based on the fact that we would face a binding ruling. If that happe
