2026-04-27 Agriculture (Delinked Payments) (Reductions) (England) Regulations 2026
My Lords, listening to this debate, it becomes apparent just how diverse our nation’s agriculture is. For every remark by one speaker, there is probably someone who knows about agriculture in a different part of the country, in a different sector, where
2026-04-16 Farming Road Map
My Lords, I declare my farming interests in Cumbria. Both Defra and the RPA have now confirmed that there is no current mechanism available for common land to enter the sustainable farming incentive or the Countryside Stewardship higher tier for the year
2026-02-26 Resetting the UK-EU Relationship (European Affairs Committee Report)
My Lords, as I look back over the last decade in Brexit Britain, I am ever more convinced that the arguments for Britain’s wholehearted engagement with mainland Europe are as strong now as they were when I first, in the late 1960s, became a supporter of
2026-02-12 Animal Welfare Strategy: Rural Communities
Can the Minister confirm that the Government have neither plans nor intentions to ban hound trailing?
2026-01-26 Water White Paper
My Lords, I am sure there is agreement around the whole House that the state of the water industry in this country at present is very far from satisfactory. In her remarks about the White Paper, the Minister referred to a whole number of possible initiat
2026-01-08 Broadcasting: Recent Developments
My Lords, I congratulate my noble friend Lord Fowler on introducing this debate. It is a great pleasure that both at the end and the beginning of my career in your Lordships’ House I can call him “my noble friend.” I declare that I am a trustee of the fa
2025-12-04 Autumn Budget 2025
I must begin by making a declaration relating to my interests as listed in the register: I am a farmer, a landowner and a businessman in Cumbria. We are today asked to take note of the Budget, but that cannot be done as an exercise in textual exegesis be
2025-12-03 Gateway 3 New-build Applications
My Lords, is not the fundamental problem here the builders, rather than the regulator? Too many builders seem to be prepared to cut corners, and that is where the fundamental problem starts.
2025-11-19 Telegraph Media Group
My Lords, in response to the noble Lord, Lord Parkinson, the Minister said that it was premature to look into this unless and until the sale took place. Surely part of this sorry story—the “will she, won’t she?”—relates to the pre-sale process, and that
2025-11-11 British Council
My Lords, the House will have heard in response to the question from the noble Lord, Lord Bruce, how the assets of the British Council are being threatened with dispersal. Among those assets is the important collection of works of art. Bearing in mind th
2025-11-05 UK-Norway Defence Agreement: Impact in Scotland
My Lords, does the Minister agree that the example of Barrow-in-Furness, where central government, local authorities and their agencies and BAE Systems are combining and taking forward the shipyards, provides a very good template for what might happen in
2025-10-29 Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, I support the noble Baroness, Lady Neville-Rolfe, and, by extension, the noble Lord, Lord Deben. I was for six years the chairman of a local enterprise partnership. It is often overlooked that the prosperity of the parts of this country that ar
2025-10-27 Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, I am very pleased to think that my amendment has led to such a wide discussion that has shown more or less complete unanimity across the House about the importance of green space in place-making in this country. Where we can get unanimity like
2025-10-27 Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, in rising to move Amendment 84, I ought first to declare my interest. Most unusually, it has been my lot in life to have lived in a listed building, in the midst of a listed park, for all of it. I am also president of Historic Buildings & P
2025-10-27 Planning and Infrastructure Bill
2025-10-27 Fishing and Coastal Growth Fund
My Lords, for a number of years, when I was a Member of the European Parliament, there were considerable complaints about the illegal landing of black fish. Are the Government satisfied that material quantities of illegally caught black fish are not land
2025-09-17 Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, as I listened to this debate, I thought that everybody was talking about it from the perspective of the person who does the work. The prime focus of what we are discussing should be the best outcome for nature. The most choice available to help
2025-09-17 Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, I rise briefly to support those who have argued that the levy must be spent exclusively on nature. That is what it is collected for. The Government, who administer these things more generally, have enormous resources at their disposal and they
2025-09-17 Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, on the grounds of “it takes one to know one”, it is worth noting that this is a debate that we are unlikely to have in the next Session of Parliament—old-style hereditary Peers’ contribution to the governance of this country. I will talk bri
2025-09-09 Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, thus far in this debate, we have been thinking in terms of solving the problems that we are discussing by building more houses, but I would like to raise a point that I will describe in a little more detail in a moment: building more houses is,
2025-09-04 Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, I will briefly support my noble friend Lord Cameron of Dillington’s amendment. In the 1980s, I was chairman of the development and control committee of the then Lake District Special Planning Board, and I can see no reason why those kinds of or
2025-09-04 Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, I will speak particularly to Amendment 97, to which I have put my name. I am an owner of a listed building, and I have been involved with a large number of others, both as an owner and a trustee, over a long period. I am also president of Histo
2025-07-22 Enterprise Act 2002 (Mergers Involving Newspaper Enterprises and Foreign Powers) Regulations 2025
My Lords, I have been listening quietly to the debate, and I think I am the first person to rise who has actually chaired a newspaper company, albeit a small regional company, in this country. It is my view that, where someone has 15% control, they ha
2025-07-21 State of Climate and Nature
My Lords, I am sure the Minister will agree that talking about climate change does not really do very much about mitigating the problems we all face. What we need to see happen is what my children call “stuff”. Of course, that entails regulatory framewor
2025-07-09 European Union Entry/Exit System
My Lords, does the Minister recognise that, while most of this discussion has related to the south of England, the impact of these changes is at least as significant on the other bits of England—not least the north of England, because businesses up there
