Brexit: Financial Settlement

Debate between Lord Callanan and Lord Craig of Radley

Tuesday 11th September 2018 Lords Chamber

[Lord Callanan]

I think it is best if I stay away from these particular arguments.

[Lord Craig of Radley (CB)]

Galileo has been mentioned. Can the Minister give the House any information as to the likely future involvement of this country in Galileo after Brexit?

Electric Car Ownership

Debate between Lord Callanan and Lord Craig of Radley

Wednesday 12th July 2017 Lords Chamber

[Lord Callanan]

Noble Lords will probably realise that it is very dangerous for me to speculate on what the Chancellor might do in future Budgets with regard to tax levels.

[Lord Craig of Radley (CB)]

My Lords, is the Minister aware that insuring electric cars appears to be extremely expensive? Certainly my attempts were declined: I could not get insurance, even though I have a complete no-claims bonus—the full length. When I did eventually find an insurer, it was going to cost me £1,500—so I have not got an electric car.

[Lord Callanan]

I think the noble and gallant Lord might find that that was less to do with the car and more to do with his personal circumstances.
