Hospitality Industry: VAT
My Lords, the greatest impact of this tourist tax will be on those who have to go on holiday during the most expensive weeks of the year—in other words, families with school-aged children. Does the Minister agree? Can he give us an indication of how much

My Lords, when we were debating this Act only about a year ago, the Minister, the noble Baroness, Lady Anderson, explained with her usual clarity that the purpose of the PSFA is to drive cross-government collaboration to tackle fraud across all public au

International Financial Fraud
My Lords, about two or three years ago, FATF removed Cambodia from the risk list. Cambodia is widely seen as one of the most corrupt countries in Asia and is one of the major sources of fraud and scams globally. Given that decision, does the noble Barone

My Lords, I am not sure how to follow that. I have added my name to Amendment 98. Clause 50 is a very broad, catch-all Henry VIII power. Given that the Bill already has over 50 delegated powers in it, this seems entirely superfluous and it should be remo

My Lords, I have added my name in support of Amendment 17, which the noble Baroness, Lady Kramer has already explained, I have also tabled Amendment 19. Both amendments relate to the continuing problem of fraud. As noble Lords are probably aware, the las

Maximum Temperature for Indoor Workplaces
My Lords, under the boiler upgrade scheme, air-to-water heat pumps are eligible for a £7,500 discount. Air-to-air heat pumps, which can be used for cooling as well as heating, are eligible for only £2,500. Why the difference?

My Lords, it has been an unusual experience to have had a debate with two sides to it on the Bill; the Minister must be pleased about that. I am afraid that I sit firmly on the fence—indeed, on the ring-fence. I am in two minds on this issue. Ring-fencin

The Minister has not answered the question I asked about why the “have regards” do not include the economic crime issues of anti-money laundering and transparency of ownership. If he wants to write on that, that would be fine.
