Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, I disagree with what my noble friend Lord Blackwell has just said. He has fallen into the trap of believing that an accountability process can be effective within Parliament. The experience that I and my committee have had is that there are lim

My Lords, I support what my noble friend Lord Massey said earlier on these amendments, and in particular on Amendment 28.
When people talk about affordable credit, what they mean is subsidised credit, because the terms on which financial institutions

My Lords, I thank all noble Lords who took part in this debate. A number of noble Lords expressed their views on what kinds of services should be made available, but we have the Lloyd review and we now await its outcome. That may or may not answer questi

My Lords, the Minister said that they may need the power to change financial services legislation. Since financial services legislation is in the hands of the Treasury, I think we are entitled to a slightly more specific explanation of how the power migh

My Lords, in moving Amendment 18, I will also speak to my Amendments 19, 20 and 25 in this group; I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Vaux, for adding his name to them.

Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill
My Lords, when the Government took powers to take control of British Steel’s operations last year, they were clear that they had no intention of nationalising it. Now nationalisation is the name of the game. This pivot has nothing to do with the Governme

My Lords, I declare my interests in that I hold shares in a number of listed financial services companies. It is a pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Eatwell, who is one of the select group of noble Lords who regularly take part in the scrutiny of f

King’s Speech
My Lords, I will focus my brief time on antisemitism. Only around 0.5% of the UK’s population are Jewish. To our very great shame, they are probably the least safe group in our society. Jewish schools and children have to be guarded. Only last week, a gr

My Lords, I will speak briefly to Motion C because that deals with Amendment 35B, which I moved in the last round of ping-pong. I am delighted with the amendments that the Government have brought forward. I felt, during the process of Committee and Repor

Pension Schemes Bill
My Lords, I tabled Motion G1 in this group. The Bill will consolidate today’s pensions market into a small number of large firms. It may well bring benefits, but it also carries the risk that the market will ossify around those large firms. Healthy mar

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I want to make a few points following the contribution from the noble Baroness, Lady Fox. First, she referred to MND and the problem with some people who appear to live quite a lot longer than expected. The real problem with MND is that these p

My Lords, the Minister, as usual, talks a good story on competition and innovation. Our concern is that the Bill as drafted makes it difficult to see that the virtues of innovation and competition are in fact reflected throughout it. In particular, there
