Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill
I know that. I may have misunderstood what the Minister said, but, if that was the case, I point out that that is not possible.

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill
My Lords, I may have misunderstood him, but did the Minister say that the Government would consider derogating from Article 3?

Armed Forces Commissioner Bill
My Lords, I have listened carefully to the noble Baroness’s response, but I wonder if she could help me to understand a point raised by the Minister. It appears from proposed new subsection (1) that if a whistleblower is involved with the commissioner, t
My Lords, I, too, have not spoken before on the Bill. I understand the sentiment behind the noble Viscount’s amendment. As a former judge in Scotland, I do not demur from the advantage of having such reports. However, I wonder whether there is an element

Renters’ Rights Bill
My Lords, I support Amendment 90 in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Jones of Moulsecoomb. The point made by the noble Baroness and by this amendment is not academic. Recently there was a newspaper report of a case in Scotland where an elderly, vulne

Migrants: Indefinite Leave to Remain
My son-in-law, Jair, came to this country more than 20 years ago. Since his arrival here and his obtaining right to remain, he has been permanently employed in various capacities, including as an assistant in a school for deaf children. Latterly, since h

Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill
My Lords, I rise to ask for a clarification, in view of the fact that the noble Lord, Lord Udny-Lister, said that he proposes to divide the House unless he gets a satisfactory response from the Minister. What would be the combined effect of Amendment 1,

House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill
Before the noble and learned Lord sits down, my recollection of 1999 was that the royal Princes specifically indicated that they would not wish to sit in this House. My further recollection is that, in the cloakroom, there were very grand coat hooks for

Mental Health Bill [HL]
My Lords, I apologise that I did not speak at Second Reading, but I have been listening to this interesting debate and it seems to me that Clause 5 is introducing the concept of detention in extreme cases, where there is a risk of serious harm to the he

Housing Supply and Homelessness
My Lords, I too thank the noble Baroness, Lady Warwick of Undercliffe, for initiating the debate.
I also acknowledge the Library staff’s briefing paper explaining the obligations of local authorities towards those seeking help with homelessness, inclu

Great British Energy Bill
My Lords, I support the amendment in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Vaux of Harrowden. Like the noble Baroness, Lady Hayman, in a past life I sat on the Front Bench where the Minister is and resisted amending legislation by making additions.

Energy Bill [HL]
My Lords, on Report I drew attention to the unfair effect upon a development on Skye. The original provisions about the date upon which the guillotine would fall on new onshore wind farms discriminated against a development at Glen Ullinish in Skye which
