Speech in Lords Chamber - Wed 14 Oct 2020
Health Protection (Coronavirus, Local COVID-19 Alert Level) (High) (England) Regulations 2020

"My Lords, the classic comedy, “Yes Minister” has a running joke. When the Minister stands up to give a speech, he starts by saying, “We live in a time of change”. That could not be more true now because we are definitely living in a time of change. That, I …..."

Health Protection (Coronavirus, Wearing of Face Coverings in a Relevant Place and on Public Transport) (England) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2020

"My Lords, I declare an interest as a vice-president of the Local Government Association. I support completely the idea of wearing face masks.

Health Protection (Coronavirus, Collection of Contact Details etc and Related Requirements) Regulations 2020

"My Lords, these regulations are excessive, intrusive, punitive and potentially discriminatory to older and poorer people. They also raise important questions about compatibility with data and privacy laws.

On data protection, collection of contact details is important, but a lot of places gather this personal data without any security. I …..."

Coronavirus Act 2020: Temporary Provisions

"My Lords, it is always a pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Dobbs. I did not particularly like his idea that people of my age ought to be locked away to save the rest, but we can discuss that later.

I welcome our two new Peers. If the noble …..."

Covid-19

"I asked the Minister about this earlier and will send details to him so that it can be checked. Somebody complained that when they went to get a home test for Covid, they were asked to share their information with an American credit-check company called TransUnion, which sounds like data …..."

Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) (No. 3) Regulations 2020

"I express sympathy for the Minister, who, before this debate began, had already been under interrogation for an hour. However, it is almost six months since the first emergency legislation was brought in to deal with the coronavirus. The sheer urgency and importance required Parliament to pass an emergency Bill, …..."

Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Leicester) Regulations 2020

"My Lords, I echo the words of the noble Baronesses, Lady Jolly and Lady Walmsley, that we are getting these regulations 25 days after they were first tabled. Why are the Government doing this? Why are they not bringing these regulations to the House before they impose them?

Your Lordships’ …..."

"My Lords, evidence suggests that obesity doubles a patient’s chance of being hospitalised with the virus, hence the Government have put forward a strategy for reducing obesity, which I welcome. However, they could have introduced a sugar tax 10 years ago, which might have resulted in fewer obese Britons now. …..."

Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (No. 2) (England) Regulations 2020

"My Lords, like many other Peers, I am furious about the way the Government seem to be ruling by diktat; it is not democratic. To describe what we have today—a minute per Peer—as debate is absolutely ludicrous. Can the Government please get back on some sort of democratic footing?
