My Lords, I thank the noble Lord for his intervention. I was building up to a question for the Minister. Will he tell us whether a move to central European time would impact on the electricity cost savings to the UK, made possible by the Interconnector? If so, by how much? Will...

Even if you get cheap electricity in Troon at night, my Lords? I started off, looking at this again, by going back to two excellent publications from the Policy Studies Institute—by Mayer Hillman, who has again been writing on it for years—which clearly set out the pros and cons of moving...

I am sure that you, Mr. Speaker, will be aware, as the whole House will, that today we are celebrating Robert Burns day. Has my right hon. Friend had a chance to read a speech given last week describing Scotland as ““Third Scotland”” and likening us to Bosnia, Iran, North Korea and the Gaza strip? Does he know which wee, sleekit, cow'rin', tim'rous beastie made that speech?

My Lords, I, too, on behalf of these Benches, thank the Minister for the care with which he has set out these somewhat complex legislative provisions. The benefit to posterity in being able read and understand what may otherwise be rather opaque is undoubted. The purpose behind the first of...

My Lords, I echo the congratulations that other noble Lords have offered to the noble Lord, Lord Broers, and to his committee on producing the report. The noble Lord entered your Lordships’ House later than me and is therefore a lot more energetic. I totter along to a few debates. However, the noble Lord...

No, my Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Razzall, most certainly did not, but he was about the only one. Doing so means that the Minister has less time in which to respond. So I shall refer to the points that other noble Lords have made and suggest that one reads them and...

My commentary is not based on wrong information. The Electoral Commission’s proposal, which I shall attempt to explain once again, would not change the condition—one householder provides a signature on the canvass form—for getting on the register. Every other individual in that household would not have to sign or give...

In the Chinese year of the dog, I should declare that I have some chickens and at least three cows—hopefully, I will have more than three cows in the coming months. The Secretary of State opened the debate and did very well until she hit the thorny issue of the...

My Lords, we all admire the way in which the noble Lord, Lord Grenfell, chairs and presides over the European Union Committee and its widespread family of sub-committees. It seems to me that this report and the follow-up report are well up to the standard of the reports produced from that...

I ought perhaps to explain to the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Wirral, that I was not really meaning to take a swipe at lawyers. I was trying to say, in an ironic fashion, that, for once, I would trust them to curtail such debate and not to spin it out in the courts. I have...

The picture of the cow and the fat lawyer, to which the noble Earl, Lord Erroll, referred, was for many years, and, for all I know, may still be, in the display window at Wildy’s legal bookshop in Lincoln’s Inn. When I was in practice, my chambers were next door, so I saw...
