Saudi East-West Oil Pipeline
I asked the Minister whether she thought it helpful that the President of the United States said that he did not expect anything very useful to happen to improve the supply of oil and gas from the Gulf before the US mid-term elections.

Saudi East-West Oil Pipeline
My Lords, can the Minister confirm that the damage done to the Saudi installations originated from a rogue general in the Iraqi republic? Are we satisfied that that will not be repeated? Can she also address whether it is all that helpful for the Preside

Education and Skills Reform
My Lords, I know that the Minister has taken a very positive attitude towards strengthening the status of kinship carers. The Government have also introduced pilot programmes. Both have a capacity to help in bringing forward the work which is spoken of i
My Lords, this debate on the ratification by the UK of the Council of Europe’s Macolin convention—so excellently introduced by the chair of the International Agreements Committee, the noble Lord, Lord Johnson—is of wider significance than the detailed su

My Lords, I welcome the Minister to the Dispatch Box. Does he agree with the noble Lord, Lord Lamont, that this agreement would be greatly strengthened if it made it quite clear that it would not cover enrichment or reprocessing of spent fuel, both of wh

Strait of Hormuz: Merchant Shipping
My Lords, will the Minister confirm that, for nearly 30 years after the signature and entry into force of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea—to which we all subscribe and which considers the Strait of Hormuz to be an international waterway—it was p

EU Security Action for Europe Programme
My Lords, would the Minister agree that this is one case and one sector where the postponement of the EU-UK meeting from this month to the autumn provides an opportunity, and that there is a great necessity to ensure there is a defence element in anythin
Does the Minister recognise that there is a real risk that the global ocean treaty remains just words on paper if something is not done to create operational effect, and that the ideas put forward by the right reverend Prelate for some collective action—

Higher Education: Affordability and Quality
My Lords, there can surely be no doubt about the timeliness—indeed, the urgency—of a debate on higher education, as the facts flow in of universities in financial trouble, of the lack of value of a university education, of universities being pushed towar
Before the noble Lord sits down, I want to raise one point to which he referred: the large number of people who were compensated by the Iraq-Kuwait compensation commission set up by the UN Security Council. There were many hundreds of thousands of them,

Immigration: Eurodac and SIS II
My Lords, will the Minister confirm that the benefits to this country of rejoining SIS II and Eurodac go much wider than simply immigration issues and that they cover the whole range of law enforcement co-operation, which is so vital to us and our EU par

Bosnia and Herzegovina
My Lords, it is easy to forget how close the Yugoslav succession crises came, during the 1990s, to destroying or at least severely damaging both the UN and NATO, not to speak of the appalling death toll culminating in the genocide of Srebrenica; and to f

My Lords, will the Minister comment on the attack yesterday on the Chernobyl civil nuclear power facilities by Russian drones? Is it the Government’s intention, with other like-minded countries—such as France, Germany and, I hope, even the United States—

Lebanon: Israel Defense Forces Operations
Can the Minister tell us what, if any, explanation the Government have had of the killing of a general officer of the Lebanese armed forces, another officer and a soldier by the Israel Defense Forces? Presumably, that does not come in the category of str
My Lords, the debate we are having today is an essential one, and my noble friend Lord Alton is to be congratulated on bringing us back to it, as he does regularly and with good reason. It is also a rather paradoxical debate. While the appalling crimes b

My Lords, does the Minister agree that military means are not necessarily the best means to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and that one better way of achieving that might be to revert to the situation we have been in for the last 3
