Speech in Lords Chamber - Wed 02 Jul 2025
House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill

"The thing I find odd about the argument just advanced, and, indeed, about the amendment in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Parkinson, and the way in which he introduced it—splendid though it was—is the implicit assumption that if his amendment were to pass here, the other place would …..."

UK-Mauritius Agreement on the Chagos Archipelago

"I join the tributes to the noble Lord, Lord Boswell, whose chairing of the European Committee I greatly admired, and the tributes to an excellent maiden speech. Like father, like daughter. I also thank the two committees for their advice, but I am going to risk the wrath of the …..."

Contracts for Difference (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Regulations 2025

"The alleged saving is compared with the current price, which is astonishingly high. It is a saving because the wholesale price of electricity all over is going down. The contracts for difference for wind power are now being set at a level about two-thirds of where they were a couple …..."

Gibraltar

"I agree with the noble Baroness. In fact, I agree with everything she has said, with one exception: she implied that negotiations started under Dominic Raab as Foreign Secretary.

Holocaust Memorial Bill

"The core of the problem is that the learning centre is too cramped, small and poky. I do not think it should be underground, but the real problem is that it is too small to tell such a huge story. What we have is a site that is too small …..."

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

"If I were to set our annual borders Bill debates to music, I would pick Stravinsky. It has become a rite of spring, with clashing discords from the Conservative Front Bench and ritual incantations that there can be a sacrifice of international law because we are a dualist system.

Governance of the Union (Constitution Committee Report)

"I have never been a member of the Constitution Committee; I have asked regularly to become a member and have regularly been rejected. It is my youth and exuberance, I think, that are not there; I am working on both.

One Hundred Year Partnership Agreement between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Ukraine
