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
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

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

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

Crime and Policing Bill
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

My Lords, I am grateful to my noble friend Lord Blencathra for opening the debate on this group. He is right that we should consider carefully how the most vulnerable will be protected under this legislation. Having a multidisciplinary specialist review

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

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I approach this amendment in a largely exploratory spirit, because it raises an interesting and increasingly relevant question about the role artificial intelligence might play in the operation of legislation of this kind.

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, the amendments in this group seek to establish a higher bar for reaching eligibility by requiring that informed consent be demonstrably shown. There are also amendments in the group tabled by my noble friend Lady Lawlor that seek to ensure that

I am sorry, but I think the noble and learned Lord has not quite picked up the noble Lord’s point. Of course, if the doctor does not explain it properly, or if the doctor maladministers the drug, there is liability in tort. As I understood the point bein

Holocaust Memorial Bill
My Lords, I will speak very briefly, and I will try to address that. I will speak briefly not because the subject is not important—it is such an important subject that there could be no end of words said about it—but because we are focusing on the Common

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, the amendments in this group relate to two fundamental question: first, who should have the legal right to assistance under this Bill and, secondly, who should not. They are both important questions. We have heard concerns about eligibility thr

Arrangement of Business
My Lords, for the obvious reason, I want to place on record my personal thanks to the Government Chief Whip, because I know he takes these matters extremely seriously. He is placed in an invidious position because our procedures, it seems to me, are jus

Sydney Terrorist Attack
My Lords, I declare an interest because Rabbi Schlanger, who was murdered in this atrocity, was my relative too. Most Jewish festivals are commemorated privately at home or in synagogue, but Hanukkah is celebrated publicly. That is why my response to thi

My noble friend is absolutely right; on that point they do change the policy intention. I am grateful. I would welcome the thoughts of the noble and learned Lord, Lord Falconer of Thoroton, on that.
Finally, in the absence of my noble friend Lord Howe

We say that frequently in Liverpool. These amendments all relate to the eligibility of persons accessing assistance under the Bill. Amendment 11 from the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay of Llandaff, seeks to introduce a requirement that a person must perman
