Debate between Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay and Lord Haskel

Monday 13th September 2021 Lords Chamber

[Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay (Con)]

My Lords, the main elements of the free trade agreement with Australia were signed by the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister of Australia at a meeting in Downing Street in June. A final agreement in principle was published on 17 June and is available on GOV.UK. The deal will help us better to address global challenges together, including combating climate change. Australia and the UK have committed to a chapter on trade and the environment, which will contain provisions affirming commitments under multilateral environment agreements, including the Paris Agreement, and also to maintain and effectively enforce domestic environmental laws and policies across a broad range of issues. We have also committed to undertaking co-operative activities, including those targeted at key technologies in the transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Haskel)]

My Lords, the time allowed for this Private Notice Question has elapsed.

[Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay (Con)]

My Lords, I believe that 15 minutes are allowed for a Private Notice Question, so there is time for the final question.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Haskel)]

I am so sorry. I call the noble Baroness, Lady Fox.

--- Later in debate ---

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Haskel)]

My Lords, all supplementary questions have been asked.

[Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay (Con)]

My Lords, I am glad that injury time allowed the noble Baroness, Lady Fox, to get her question in.

University Students: Compensation for Lost Teaching and Rent

Debate between Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay and Lord Haskel

Monday 19th April 2021 Lords Chamber

[Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay (Con)]

I must disagree with the noble Baroness. The Office for National Statistics estimates that 23% of students are yet to return to their term-time accommodation, which leaves up to half a million students yet to travel. Throughout the pandemic, the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies has warned of the risk posed by mass movements; that is what underpins our cautious approach.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Haskel) (Lab)]

My Lords, the time allowed for this Question has elapsed.

3rd reading & 3rd reading (Hansard) & 3rd reading (Hansard): House of Lords
Thursday 28th January 2021 Lords Chamber

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Haskel) (Lab)]

I have a request from the noble Lord, Lord Alton, to ask a short question.

[Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay (Con)]

I think that might be from the previous group. The noble Lord, Lord Alton, is not in his place. He wanted to ask the Minister a question on the first group, but I think the message he sent was delayed in reaching the Woolsack electronically.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Haskel) (Lab)]

I call the Minister, the noble Baroness, Lady Barran.
