Patents (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018

Debate between Baroness Finlay of Llandaff and Lord Henley

Monday 14th January 2019 Grand Committee

[Lord Henley]

I am grateful to the noble Lord, because obviously he always considers what is important to the House. He will no doubt make sure that that letter of mine, which will be available in the Library of the House, is made available to everyone else whom he thinks it is right should see it. I cannot go further than that, but it would not be right to write to every noble Lord on this regulation.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness Finlay of Llandaff) (CB)]

The Question is that the Grand Committee do consider the Patents (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018.

Swansea Tidal Lagoon: Hendry Review

Debate between Baroness Finlay of Llandaff and Lord Henley

Tuesday 1st May 2018 Lords Chamber

[Lord Henley]

My Lords, I note what my noble friend says and the feelings of the House. As I said, the Government should not be rushed into an answer but I will make sure that my right honourable friend is fully aware of the concerns that have been raised.

[Baroness Finlay of Llandaff (CB)]

Have the Government compared the risk to the public health of the type of lagoon and pilot project as has been proposed with the long-term risk of a nuclear power plant and all the potential dangers from it? In terms of value for money and the environment, the public health risk must also be assessed.

[Lord Henley]

I do not think that I can take this much further but I note what the noble Baroness has to say.
