Scotland: European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 14 June 201814/06/2018

My Lords, if no one else is rising to speak—we still have 12 minutes—I will ask a question. The Minister said in response to the questions I raised that time was taken up by Divisions, but can he confirm as a matter of fact that the Government could have...

Scotland: European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 14 June 201814/06/2018

I thank the Minister for repeating the Statement. I am not sure whether to thank him for the name check, which was a fairly broad interpretation of a somewhat more complex legal point. However, clearly, the Statement was made in the other place in respon...

Northern Ireland: Supreme Court Ruling

Lords Chamber on 7 June 201807/06/2018

My Lords, this is obviously a very charged and sensitive issue. As the Minister and the noble Baroness, Lady Smith, have said, the judgment will require a lot of detailed consideration. None the less, it is clear that there was a majority in the Supreme...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 16 May 201816/05/2018

My Lords, I will speak to Amendment 9 in my name. The Bill was substantially amended on Report with regard to the devolution dimension. Among other things, what one might describe as confidence-building measures were put in to ensure that Ministers, havi...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 8 May 201808/05/2018

The Minister is repeating what he said in response to my Amendment 30. It was pointed out by me and the noble Baroness, Lady Lister, that the word “protection” has a statutory basis in the 2006 legislation.

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 8 May 201808/05/2018

My Lords, I support the amendments moved and spoken to by the noble Lord, Lord Low. He set out the case extensively as to why these amendments should be made. I also echo his thanks to the noble and learned Lord, Lord Keen of Elie, for discussing them wi...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 8 May 201808/05/2018

My Lords, I want to clarify what the Minister has just said. When she said that the Scottish Government and the Scottish Parliament wish to do it by their own legislation, is that their Continuity Bill, which is currently before the Supreme Court? If it...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 2 May 201802/05/2018

It seems that we have an explanation. Were officials of the Scottish Government involved in that and, if in-depth work has been done, would the Minister help the House by publishing it?

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 2 May 201802/05/2018

My Lords, if an Act of Parliament gives the Scottish Parliament power to say no and refuse its consent, what I am asking is whether that affects what might happen in other parts of the United Kingdom, so that you would not be able to get the common UK fr...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 2 May 201802/05/2018

My Lords, I will return to the points on the amendment moved by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Hope of Craighead, but first I endorse what has been said by everyone who has contributed to this debate so far—the noble and learned Lord, Lord Keen, the no...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 2 May 201802/05/2018

My Lords, since submitting this amendment, I note that Clause 7(8) covers the point and therefore I do not wish to move it.

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 2 May 201802/05/2018

My Lords, I am grateful to the noble and learned Lord for his explanation of these technical amendments. Can he say whether there is agreement among the devolved Administrations and the UK Government on these amendments?

Secretary of State for International Trade: Visits

Lords Chamber on 30 April 201830/04/2018

My Lords, when the International Trade Secretary visited the Philippines he talked about shared values with President Duterte. Given the President’s record in office, which values were he referring to?

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 23 April 201823/04/2018

The Minister should not tempt me. I am grateful to him for his reply, which was probably a bit more substantive than ministerial replies to the previous two debates, although it was, equally predictably, negative. I do not think that the Minister’s ar...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 23 April 201823/04/2018

My Lords, I beg to move Amendment 30A in my name and those of the noble Lord, Lord Low of Dalston, and the noble Baroness, Lady Lister of Burtersett. I know it also enjoys the support of the noble Lord, Lord Cashman. Today’s proceedings on the Report sta...

Lords Chamber on 23 April 201823/04/2018

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 23 April 201823/04/2018

My Lords, it was obvious from contributions at Second Reading and in Committee that this was a particularly thorny and sensitive issue. It is to the credit of the Government and not least to that of the Minister that they have been in listening mode and...

Elections: Personal Data

Lords Chamber on 18 April 201818/04/2018

My Lords, have any of these desk officers drawn to the noble Lord’s attention the opinion submitted to the Select Committee in the House of Commons relating to alleged non-declaration of payments during the referendum to AIQ data services? Specifically,...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Lords Chamber on 26 March 201826/03/2018

What the Minister is saying is encouraging. For the sake of argument, let us take fishing. Have any of these meetings between UK officials and officials from the devolved Administrations involved members of the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation? Stakeholde...
