My Lords, it is a pleasure to follow the noble Viscount, and it gives me an opportunity to thank him and the other members of the committee for the work which they put in under the obviously skilful chairmanship—if I can use that word—of the noble Barone

Procedure and Privileges
My Lords, I do not know whether the noble Lord, Lord Foulkes, has ever been to a synagogue board meeting, but I can assure him that that is an exception to the rule which he put forward as to orderly conduct of business. More substantively, I would not a

IPP Prisoners: Recall System
My Lords, it is important in this area, where there is a measure of agreement between the Front Benches and across the House, to make sure that we legislate to make changes in possession of the facts. The proven reoffending rate between July and Septembe

Criminal Justice Reform
My Lords, the exodus that we have just seen was about as chaotic as the Government’s plans that we are about to debate. However, I thank the Minister for providing us with the opportunity to ask questions.

Public Office (Accountability) Bill
My Lords, at about 8.30 pm on the evening of Saturday 15 April I came home from synagogue with my late father. As we did every week, we conducted religiously our family’s two rituals. First, there was a short ceremony to mark the end of Shabbat and the b

Cohabitation Rights Bill [HL]
I am sorry. I did slip into that. I know that sometimes people say “the noble Lord”; I was not trying to be rude or forget that the Minister is in fact a noble Baroness. I hope she will forgive me; it was entirely accidental and unintended.
My Lords,

Cohabitation Rights Bill [HL]
My Lords, I pay tribute to the noble Lord, Lord Marks of Henley-on-Thames, who has pursued this issue with—if I may say so—characteristic persistence and conviction over many years, introducing substantially similar Bills on a number of occasions. These

Genocide Determination Bill [HL]
My Lord, I pay tribute to the noble Lord, Lord Alton of Liverpool, not only for introducing this Bill but for decades of tireless work exposing some of the gravest human rights abuses across the world. Whether campaigning for victims of religious persecu

Military Conflicts: International Law
My Lords, like noble and learned Lord the Attorney-General, I want to take a moment to pay brief tribute to the late Lord Mackay of Clashfern. He was a great Conservative, a great lawyer, a great Lord Chancellor, and also a man of profound Christian fait

Antisemitism
My Lords, is not one of the dangers of discussing antisemitism today that we still think about the problem coming from the far right? Increasingly, however, virulent antisemitism in our society comes from an unholy combination of the far left and Islamis

King’s Speech
My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for her speech outlining the Government’s legislative programme for the new Session in the area of justice and home affairs. I was particularly impressed, if I may say respectfully, that her speech managed both to

Antisemitic Attacks
My Lords, I know that the Minister takes this matter very seriously and he knows that I have the highest personal regard for him. However, the problem with taking questions on a Commons Statement entitled “Recent Antisemitic Attacks” a week later is that

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, this has, I can say without qualification, proven to be one of the most contentious Bills that has come before your Lordships’ House in this Session and perhaps, indeed, in any Session. One of the reasons why it has been so contentious is that

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I hope the Committee will forgive my brevity—I will focus on the few amendments I have tabled in this group.
As the Committee has heard, many of the amendments relate to the preliminary discussion or to recording general medical information

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I first take a moment to say from the Front Bench how wonderful it is to see my noble and learned friend Lady Prentis of Banbury—who was here a moment ago.

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
We all know what we are talking about here, but yes, absolutely.
This all goes back to the fundamental point of the Bill. I am addressing this point because the hypothesis is that the person has less than six months to live but, notwithstanding that,

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, we have focused in this debate on the role of the independent advocate, but of course many of the underlying concerns arise with regard to protections for various vulnerable groups and people in situations that expose them to coercion or abuse.

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
I am not sure that the noble Baroness, Lady Smith, got a complete answer to her very interesting question. I remind the Committee that she asked what the powers of the Welsh Ministers would be in this regard. Of course, the noble and learned Lord is obvi

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Causation is denied. My noble and learned friend can read it in Hansard, and I spoke to her outside. It is a testament to her dedication that she has been following this on TV. I do not know whether that shows how poor daytime TV normally is, though thos

Crime and Policing Bill
I am asking a question. It seems that only three noble Lords are entitled to speak in this debate.
New paragraph (b) says that
“the person would be so entitled unless a court in the territory concerned were to decide that they deliberately absented

I appreciate the time, but we are dealing with cases in which we may be extraditing our citizens in circumstances where they may not have a fair trial abroad. I read the letter from the Minister’s department, although as I understand it, the meeting was

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I seek the indulgence of the Committee to say a word about my amendment. I am not speaking with my Front-Bench hat on, so to speak, because I understand that this group is going to carry on next Friday. I am in the middle of a trial and cannot
