Speech in Lords Chamber - Thu 15 Mar 2012
House of Lords: Peers’ Car Park

Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

"My Lords, I acknowledge that point. I would also like to acknowledge that I inadvertently misquoted the briefing.

Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

"My Lords, may I briefly split up the Cross-Benchers, albeit in support of everything that they and most others have said? I have a couple of prefatory remarks.

Health and Social Care Bill

"Having listened to the debate, I differ a bit from the noble Lord, Lord Wills. I have heard enough from the two distinguished lawyers who spoke beforehand to come to the view that my noble friend would be very unwise to rush down this path without more time than whatever …..."

Health and Social Care Bill

"My Lords, those who have been here will have realised by now that this is one of my “good boy” days. At the risk of seeming sycophantic, even beyond being a good boy, I support every word that my noble friend Lord Clement-Jones has just said. I will refer back …..."

Health and Social Care Bill

"My Lords, I wonder if I may be indulged again by the House by speaking from an unusual position. I speak against a background—dare I say to my noble friends on the Front Bench—that I have been suitably chastened on the way into the House by being told that yesterday …..."

Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

"My Lords, perhaps I may intervene briefly and almost reluctantly, because, having been rather rebellious last week on the Bill, I have been struggling to find good reasons for not being rebellious this week. I have to say that it is very uphill work. Certainly, when I read all the …..."
