2026-06-16 Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill
My Lords, I congratulate the Minister on his promotion and thank him for his very clear opening statement. The problem we have today is that we are looking at a Bill that is important in its own right but is only one part of a much bigger problem: can we
2026-06-15 Teachers’ Pension Scheme: Automatic Enrolment
My Lords, is not one of the reasons why these pension schemes impose such financial burden on universities that they are extremely generous? If effort were to be put into reforming this area, would it not be better put into reforming the generosity of th
2026-06-09 Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Household Tumble Dryers) Regulations 2026
The Minister has said several times that this legislation is justified on the grounds of simplicity and avoiding two different regimes. Could he therefore explain why the EU regulations on which it is based are only 10,000 words long, whereas the UK stat
2026-06-05 Artificial Intelligence: Impact on Human Relationships and Society
My Lords, I thank the most reverend Primate for her excellent opening speech in this debate, which admirably set out the issues that I think ought to be concerning us. AI is undoubtedly going to bring us many good things, but it is a technology differ
2026-06-04 UK Electricity Prices
My Lords, it is a pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Lilley, but also a problem, as he has said almost everything that needs to be said on this subject already, and in a style that few of us can imitate. In the time available, I want to critique
2026-05-14 King’s Speech
My Lords, I am delighted to speak in today’s debate on the humble Address. As noble Lords will probably expect, I plan to focus on European issues and, in particular, the sadly misnamed European partnership Bill, which would be better called the European
2026-03-04 UK-India: Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement
My Lords, it is a pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Johnson. I could not think of a single remark that I disagreed with, so maybe that should do, but I still have a few things I would like to say. I also pay tribute to the noble and learned Lord, L
2026-02-27 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I shall speak to Amendments 135 and 436 in my name. These two amendments relate to one of the specific functions just elaborated by the noble Lord, Lord Moylan. Amendment 135 would create in Clause 4 a specific duty on the commissioner of ens
2026-02-26 Resetting the UK-EU Relationship (European Affairs Committee Report)
My Lords, as I follow the noble Baroness, Lady Hayter, noble Lords will get an encapsulation of the difficulties that the noble Lord, Lord Ricketts, had in chairing our committee. He had a very difficult task, and the disagreements were very strong. As h
2026-01-30 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
I am coming to my conclusion. It is somewhat safer with the two criteria of autonomy plus life expectancy and of unbearable and irremediable suffering. It limits the scope of the moral and legal change, or regression as I would see it, that we are undert
2026-01-30 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I rise to introduce Amendment 84, which has already been touched on by the noble Lord, Lord Farmer. I am grateful to, and thank, the noble Lord, Lord Carter of Haslemere, for his support. This group, as we have heard, is primarily about the
2026-01-29 UK-EU Customs Union
My Lords, I am delighted to follow the noble Lord, Lord Offord. As he says farewell to this Chamber, I congratulate him, on behalf of the whole House, on his forthright but reflective valedictory speech. We overlapped only very briefly as Ministers in t

2026-01-16 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I thank all those who have supported and engaged with the substance of my amendments. I think we have had a good debate. I also thank the Minister for acknowledging that these amendments would not cause significant or major workability issues—I
2026-01-16 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
I think I am allowed 15 minutes, actually. I do not think I mentioned Celtic either, just on a point of detail. That aside, I was reaching—in fact, had already delivered—my peroration. I hope, as I said, the proponents might be open to some reflection
2026-01-16 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Yes, they are intended to clarify what the Bill actually provides for. I will explain further. The provision of medical help to commit suicide by the provision of lethal drugs is what the Bill does. That is what it does and that is what it should say tha
2026-01-16 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I have four amendments which constitute the entirety of this group: Amendments 34, 121, 138 and 153. I am very grateful to the noble Baronesses, Lady Fox of Buckley and Lady Lawlor, and the noble Lord, Lord Harper, for putting their name to the
2025-12-11 The UK’s Demographic Future
My Lords, I begin by declaring my interest, if perhaps a rather general one, as the incoming director-general of the Institute of Economic Affairs, which has an interest in these and many other questions. It is a pleasure to take part in this debate a
2025-12-05 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
That is certainly true. The noble Lord makes a good point. The principle that is in my amendment could be expanded to take in other well-defined categories. I will be more convinced about the Irish category than the EU pre-settled status, given this issu
2025-12-05 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I rise to introduce Amendment 23 in my name. This amendment obviously goes with the thrust of some of the other amendments that have already been proposed and deals with some of the issues that have come up in this debate. It takes a slightly d
2025-11-13 Economic and Taxation Policies: Jobs, Growth and Prosperity
My Lords, I declare an interest as the incoming director-general of the Institute of Economic Affairs. My proposition today is that we are living through a great refusal when what we need, as this morning’s growth figures show, is a great reversal. In Da
2025-10-16 Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, crime and disorder have reached such levels in this country that we certainly need more effective and meaningful policing, but it has to be done in a way that retains confidence, does not damage fundamental freedoms and keeps the criminal law c
2025-09-19 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I am against the Bill, because it is legally and practically defective in many ways, as many other noble Lords have already said. I am against it for philosophical and religious reasons too. For the first time ever, a Bill seeks to give a perso
2025-09-04 Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures
My Lords, on 27 August, the responsible Minister, Nick Thomas-Symonds, said that any disputes under the SPS agreement “go to international arbitration, not the European Court of Justice”. However, the Commission’s negotiating mandate, agreed in Jul
