2026-09-17 Defence Funding
My Lords, I thank the Minister for his reply, but the fact is that the welfare bill is heading towards £350 billion. The total income tax take last year was £330 billion, with public sector debt reaching 94% by mid-2026. In the last Government, Sir Keir

2026-09-16 Retirement and Participation Committee Report
My Lords, I thank my noble friend Lord True for his comments. I wish to take noble Lords back to 1969 or 1970. I think most of us in this House—although not all—can probably remember those times fairly clearly. We had two state-owned airlines: BEA and BO
2026-07-13 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I support this amendment from the noble Lord, Lord Berkeley, co-signed by the noble Lord, Lord Davies of Gower. We have had discussions on this over the last couple of years. When I was a member of the European Parliament, I was a rapporteur
2026-07-13 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I support the comments made by my noble friend Lord Grayling. I reiterate, as we had a very good debate in Committee, that, when the slot regulations were going through the European Parliament, even the Commission at that time, which liked to b
2026-07-13 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I support the comments made by the noble Lord and the noble Baroness about the rigorous way that any airline in this industry monitors the air supply in their aircraft. But we need to give some context on this subject. A number of years ago, th
2026-07-13 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I strongly support the words of my noble friend Lord Young, and will add one small piece of information. While the passengers would not necessarily have compensation for the delays or cancellations in those circumstances, the airlines still hav
2026-07-13 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, we have raised the issue of enforcement. It may be that amendments are put in place and will, I hope, reinforce the legislation but, unless legislation is enforced—we have strong regulations already in statute—then we are just having a conversa
2026-07-13 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I have some comments and observations. This is a wide-ranging group, and very varied regulations are part of it. We must be careful not to mix them all together. The former EU regulation 261/2004 was about delays and compensation and regulation
2026-07-13 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I support the comments made by my noble friend Lord Moylan. I do not think that there is a very simple solution. Before we covered all the legislation from the European Union, it was fairly straightforward for many decades in this country, as t
2026-07-13 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I support my noble friends Lord Kirkhope and Lord Goschen. This is an extremely important sector. Most people do not know that worldwide GA is actually a larger sector than commercial aviation. There is a huge amount of hostility to private
2026-07-13 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
Before the Minister sits down, on flight time limitations and who takes charge of this, the noble Lord, Lord Tunnicliffe, may remember that prior to 2012 when the flight time limitations were dealt with by the European Union, we came under what was calle
2026-07-09 European Entry and Exit System
My Lords, having spent many years of my former life in the airline industry and then commuting to Brussels and Strasbourg, I must say in all sincerity that post Brexit the UK really did step up. As a country, we have not made life difficult for EU citize
2026-07-08 Rochdale Grooming Gang: Offender Deportation
My Lords, I wholly agree with the point that has been raised around this case. It truly is a despicable case. Yesterday in the Chamber, I raised comments regarding the Government’s position on early release. This is not in isolation. Thousands of victims
2026-07-07 Drugging and Sexual Assault of Women
My Lords, I think the Minister, who I respect very much, may not be quite correct. One of his colleagues who is a Home Office Minister was interviewed on Sunday—I think it was by Laura Kuenssberg, or it was on GB News—and was asked directly whether rapis
2026-06-18 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I should like to make a couple of observations on the amendments tabled by colleagues. First, it is clear that slots are a very complex and sophisticated trading system, the value of which, as my noble friend Lord Empey mentioned, will certainl
2026-06-18 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I will comment briefly on the subject in general. I have long been an advocate for airport expansion, particularly at Heathrow. On that note, I support the Government taking this brave step. Having lived in south-west London and under the odd f
2026-06-16 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I will briefly comment on some of the issues raised. We have to separate out the former regulation 261 on passenger rights for delays and cancellations from the very important report on the former regulation 1107, which the noble Baroness, Lady
2026-06-16 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Holmes, for his very interesting take and amendments in this area. I want to come to pilot training. I support the noble Lord, Lord Barber, who, as a former trade union negotiator for British Airways cabin crew,
2026-06-16 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I support the thinking behind the comments made by my noble friends. For clarification, if we are looking at consumer rights, it is the Civil Aviation Authority that has dealt with the public over a number of years when the public have not b
2026-06-16 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
