EU: UK Settlement

Debate between Baroness Armstrong of Hill Top and Baroness Stowell of Beeston

Wednesday 8th June 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Stowell of Beeston]

It seems that the House would like to hear from the Labour Benches.

[Baroness Armstrong of Hill Top]

Will the noble Baroness confirm that if the British people decide to leave the European Union none of the provisions agreed on 19 February will prevail and, until our membership is finished after the negotiations over our exit route, none of the aspects in the deal will apply?

Migration

Debate between Baroness Armstrong of Hill Top and Baroness Stowell of Beeston

Monday 6th June 2016 Lords Chamber

[Lord Pearson of Rannoch (UKIP)]

My Lords—

[The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Stowell of Beeston) (Con)]

My Lords, on this occasion the noble Baroness, Lady Armstrong, just pips the noble Lord, Lord Pearson, who knows how generous I am to him on many occasions.

[Baroness Armstrong of Hill Top]

My Lords, does the Minister recognise that in the world today one in seven people is on the move? We have 7 billion members of the human race and 1 billion of them at any time this year are on the move. In those circumstances would anyone dare say that the problems of migration and movement can be tackled by a single country on its own?
