HANSARDHealthcare (International Arrangements) BillThe noble Lord has quite rightly referred to the existing countries—Australia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Montenegro, New Zealand and Serbia, as well as our independent…19 Feb 2019HANSARDHealthcare (International Arrangements) BillI apologise to my noble friend that I was not here earlier, due to travel difficulties—19 Feb 2019HANSARDEU WithdrawalCould my noble friend ask the Minister to explain whether it is legislation necessary for a no-deal scenario or for a deal that has already been negotiated?13 Feb 2019HANSARDEU WithdrawalDoes the Minister agree with what Andrea Leadsom said on the “Today” programme—that it is possible to get through all the legislation, the Bills and the statutory instruments, by…13 Feb 2019HANSARDAir Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018Did the Minister say she will tell us how many extra staff are required and how much this will cost at a later stage in the debate? I did not quite catch that.12 Feb 2019HANSARDAir Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018My noble friend has stolen my peroration. He is absolutely right and said it much better than me. It is a frightening prospect that if nothing is agreed, nothing is approved, by…12 Feb 2019HANSARDAir Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018That is an even better peroration. The whole campaign of the leavers was to take back control—if I remember—to the British Parliament, not the British Government. It is not the…12 Feb 2019HANSARDAir Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018My Lords, on a previous occasion, the Minister was not able to say how many extra staff the CAA has taken on to deal with this extra responsibility. Is she now able to give us…12 Feb 2019HANSARDAir Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018I do not want to follow the noble Lord, Lord Deben, and his pedestrian metaphor dealing with an aviation statutory instrument, although it was very good. I share his sympathy with…12 Feb 2019HANSARDAir Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018I apologise. The noble Baroness, Lady McIntosh, is also doing so. My argument is falling apart here. I asked why the noble Lord, Lord Strathclyde, and others were not doing it. He…12 Feb 2019HANSARDAir Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018My question is not whether the CAA is fully resourced. My question—which I asked in Grand Committee a number of weeks ago, so the Minister has had plenty of notice of it—is how…12 Feb 2019HANSARDIntellectual Property (Exhaustion of Rights) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018I am most grateful to the noble Lord. The lesson in fly fishing that he taught me has worked.06 Feb 2019HANSARDIntellectual Property (Exhaustion of Rights) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018My Lords, I have waited in vain for some Conservative Members to contribute to this debate. When I moved here from the other place, a number of people, including the noble Lord,…06 Feb 2019HANSARDFinancial Services (Implementation of Legislation) Bill [HL]That is really helpful. Is the Minister now saying that the noble Lord, Lord Young, for whom I have equally great respect, will answer that question?06 Feb 2019HANSARDFinancial Services (Implementation of Legislation) Bill [HL]I will ask a supplementary question to follow up the excellent contribution of my noble friend Lord Tunnicliffe about perspective and co-operation. The Bill, with the excellent…06 Feb 2019HANSARDFinancial Services (Implementation of Legislation) Bill [HL]My Lords, before the Minister answers those questions, may I ask one of my own in relation to the report of the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee? Will the Minister…06 Feb 2019HANSARDSocial Media: Online AnonymityMy Lords, will the Minister get a copy of the speech made today by Tom Watson, the deputy leader of the Labour Party, on this subject, and consider each of his proposals carefully?06 Feb 2019HANSARDIntellectual Property (Exhaustion of Rights) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018We have 11. The noble Lord has made my argument much better, actually. On the Order Paper there are 180 statutory instruments waiting to be discussed by the Grand Committee and by…06 Feb 2019HANSARDHealthcare (International Arrangements) BillThe noble Lord is absolutely right to distinguish between continuity legislation and totally new provisions in legislation. Does he not agree that it is bad enough to push to get…05 Feb 2019HANSARDHealthcare (International Arrangements) BillAnywhere. That is just a random choice. It could be Texas or Alaska—it would be a bit more expensive in Alaska. That is a really wide provision. Before we finally pass this Bill,…05 Feb 2019
