Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, I hesitate to follow the noble Lord, Lord Carlile, who, although he is not a specialist in this area, is a lawyer. I will speak in support of this group of amendments; I would have done the same for the first group, had I been here. It is impor

My Lords, I rise to speak to my Amendment 58A in this group. I am delighted to support the other amendments in the group about which the noble Baroness, Lady O’Neill, has spoken, asking the Government for various assessments of impact.

My Lords, it is a pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Sikka; I always learn from his speeches. The Bill is laudable in its aim to promote growth by cutting regulatory barriers, compliance, duplication and fragmentation, and, in doing so, to reduce th

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I would like to introduce my Amendment 664. It is designed to ensure not only that no medical professional is obliged to participate in such training but that, in order to do so, the medical professional must give written consent. Professional

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
The noble and learned Lord’s Amendment 669A refers to Sections 8(7), 11(9) and 26(2), but that is only for medical practitioners, it is not for other medical professionals. It is for that reason I tabled my Amendment 664, so that anybody had to opt in to

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I will speak to my amendments in this group. They aim to tighten the recording rules in Clause 7 and would make them even tighter than the seven-day limit proposed by the noble Baroness—to whom I am very grateful for her remarks. I propose that,

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
May I check something regarding my Amendment 664? Given that the noble and learned Lord insists that no person will be under any duty to perform or provide for an act under this measure, will that apply to participation in training, since training is not

I am just finishing. I will not take interventions.
A second reason for the amendment, which would require written opt-in for training for medical and other health and care professionals, is that to many—not just in this House but in society as a whol

It reveals a Government unequal to the great task of governing the nation with which the electorate has entrusted it.

Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, the amendment from the noble Baroness, Lady O’Loan, regrets the failure to conduct an impact assessment in relation to Clause 246. Yet, as we have heard, the clause that decriminalises abortion up to birth will have the gravest of consequences

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, my noble friend Lord Moylan and the noble Lord, Lord Carlile, have told us about the uncertainty of the statistical evidence, and indeed the unreliability. That points to a flaw at the heart of the Bill, for which a condition for eligibility is
