First, it is important to distinguish between the threat of…25 Apr 2023HANSARDFinancial Services and Markets BillMy Lords, I too support these amendments.

The real difficulty with this…02 Mar 2023HANSARDRetained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) BillMy Lords, I rise because neither the noble and learned Lord, Lord Hope, nor the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, can be in their place to speak to Amendment 58. In one sense, it is…02 Mar 2023HANSARDRetained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) BillThe Minister is very keen on timetables and dates. As we know, spring is movable. Can we have a firm date?
