Brexit: EU Nationals’ Right to Remain

Lords Chamber on 11 January 201711/01/2017

My Lords, does the Minister agree with the statement in the recent CBI report that we need, “a system informed by business rather than imposed on business”, and that this is, “essential to the future economic growth of the UK”? Are the Governm...

Policing and Crime Bill

Lords Chamber on 19 December 201619/12/2016

My Lords, I am glad that the noble Lord has dealt with the matter as he has and has sought to have the points put on record. I wonder whether, in replying, the Minister can confirm that in paragraph 3(d), the requirement on the commissioner to publish, ...

Policing and Crime Bill

Lords Chamber on 19 December 201619/12/2016

My Lords, I wonder whether this is something that we can add to the discussion or consultation on the pilots. If one is going to pilot two provisions in the same place, carried out by the same officers and prompted no doubt by the same observations, it wo...

Policing and Crime Bill

Lords Chamber on 19 December 201619/12/2016

I take the point that different formulae are used in different parts of immigration law, but the Immigration Act to which I have referred provides for an officer to have “reasonable grounds for believing” something, while under this Bill, he simply has to...

Lords Chamber on 19 December 201619/12/2016

I think that encompasses our arguments. With regard to the pilots, I am grateful for the noble Baroness’s assurances, but had there been consultation on the choice of Hampshire, she might have had some useful input. I do not know whether the noble B...

Policing and Crime Bill

Lords Chamber on 19 December 201619/12/2016

My Lords, Amendments 1 and 2 deal with the same issue and are amendments to clauses requiring people to state their nationality when an immigration officer or constable suspects that an individual may not be a British citizen. Underlying our amendments is...

Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016

Lords Chamber on 15 December 201615/12/2016

My Lords, I shall accept that invitation. This is not a point that I have raised before and I do not expect the Minister to have an instant answer, but I make a plea. I would not have found the guidance had I not seen a reference to the date when it was p...

Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016

Lords Chamber on 15 December 201615/12/2016

My Lords, I join the noble Lord, Lord Rosser, in his expression of regret. I was for some time a member of the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee and can confirm his characterisation of the restraint it uses in its reports. It does not use extreme l...

Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (Temporary Class Drug) (No. 2) Order 2016

Lords Chamber on 15 December 201615/12/2016

My Lords, I have one concern, which I did not expect to have until I read the Explanatory Memorandum. This is of course the second temporary order in respect of MPA, and the memorandum tells us: “The Secretary of State has received a recommendation fro...

Terrorism Act 2000 (Proscribed Organisations) (Amendment) (No. 3) Order 2016

Lords Chamber on 15 December 201615/12/2016

My Lords, I too thank the Minister for her careful explanation. I will not oppose the order, but this is a moment for reminding ourselves of the distinction between distasteful and, in a non-technical sense, offensive speech and the promotion of terrorism...

Policing and Crime Bill

Lords Chamber on 12 December 201612/12/2016

My Lords, I hope that my noble friend will understand that, given the further business to which the House has to attend tonight, I will confine myself to saying that we on these Benches enthusiastically support her amendments.

Policing and Crime Bill

Lords Chamber on 12 December 201612/12/2016

I thank the Minister, but I cannot restrain myself from observing that her answer has been that there has been a consultation and that the Government will publish their response to it next year. I say that as nicely as I can, because clearly a lot of work...

Policing and Crime Bill

Lords Chamber on 12 December 201612/12/2016

My Lords, this amendment is in my name and that of my noble friend Lord Paddick. In Committee the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, proposed an amendment which is now in the Bill as Clause 155. Our amendment is not to challenge the clause but to ask for clarif...

Policing and Crime Bill

Lords Chamber on 12 December 201612/12/2016

My Lords, we will see, but I am glad to note the Home Office’s acceptance of the importance of the issue, which I never had in doubt. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.

Policing and Crime Bill

Lords Chamber on 12 December 201612/12/2016

My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Kennedy. When the noble Baroness writes, perhaps she can also explain this about what the Government did in the Immigration Act 2016. For this purpose, I simply refer to Section 43, which introduces a new pa...

Policing and Crime Bill

Lords Chamber on 12 December 201612/12/2016

My Lords, I often feel when I have the first amendment after Questions that I should explain to Members of the House that it may not be the showstopper that they will be expecting later in the afternoon. Also in this group are government Amendments 180 an...

Policing and Crime Bill

Lords Chamber on 7 December 201607/12/2016

We support the amendment from these Benches. I congratulate those who tabled it on their persistence and on taking forward the work of a Select Committee to seek to translate it into legislation. That is an example of how this House can work so effectivel...
