Debate between Lord Flight and Baroness Morris of Bolton

Report stage & Report: 3rd sitting (Hansard) & Report: 3rd sitting (Hansard): House of Lords
Tuesday 6th October 2020 Lords Chamber

[The Deputy Speaker (Baroness Morris of Bolton) (Con)]

Is the noble Lord moving his amendment?

[Lord Flight (Con) [V]]

No.

[The Deputy Speaker (Baroness Morris of Bolton) (Con)]

Well, the noble Lord has actually spoken, so he needs to move it for everybody else to respond.

[Lord Flight (Con) [V]]

Right. I will withdraw the amendment when I sum up at the end.

[The Deputy Speaker (Baroness Morris of Bolton) (Con)]

The noble Lord, Lord Naseby, has withdrawn, so I call the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee.

--- Later in debate ---

[The Deputy Speaker (Baroness Morris of Bolton) (Con)]

My Lords, I have received no requests to ask a question of the Minister, so I now call the noble Lord, Lord Flight.

[Lord Flight (Con) [V]]

My Lords, this amendment addresses the aggregation of social security contributions across the EU, mutual healthcare and, in particular, the payment of pensions and pension increases to pensioners living in different EU countries. It is important that citizens’ positions are protected. The noble Baroness, Lady Stedman-Scott, has given a satisfactory undertaking that these areas cannot be affected by the clause in question and that this amendment is therefore not necessary. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
