Nationality and Borders Bill

Debate between Lord Rosser and Baroness Evans of Bowes Park

Committee stage
Tuesday 8th February 2022 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Evans of Bowes Park (Con)]

I am very sorry to the noble Baroness; that was not my intention at all and I am very sorry she feels that way. It is absolutely not the case. All I can say is that we have now reached the time we are at. We must try to make progress; we must all work together to do that. I say on the record that I am very sorry to the noble Baroness—it is nothing to do with her and I am very sorry she feels that way.

[Lord Rosser (Lab)]

There are only five days scheduled in Committee on this Bill. This is by no means the longest Committee stage for a piece of legislation. Perhaps there ought to be a reflection on the Government’s side as to whether they did not seriously underestimate the number of days that were needed for Committee stage.

HS2: North of England and Scotland

Debate between Lord Rosser and Baroness Evans of Bowes Park

Thursday 23rd February 2017 Lords Chamber

[The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Evans of Bowes Park) (Con)]

My Lords, this is not the kind of behaviour we want to see during Question Time. We will go to the Labour Front Bench.

[Lord Rosser]

My Lords, can I ask when the final route plans for HS3 will be published, and when the hybrid Bill for the next stages of HS2 to Crewe, Manchester and Leeds will be published? I hope that the Minister will be able to answer that question, but of course if he cannot he could always say “shortly”.
