Connecting Europe Facility (Revocation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Connecting Europe Facility (Revocation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

"That is fantastic but not what the Explanatory Memorandum says. It states:

“The powers would also enable the Secretary of State to make similar payments”—


—payments, not successful bids—

“up to 2020”.

I am therefore delighted by the Minister making that statement...."

Railways: Dawlish

"My Lords, the economies of west Devon, Plymouth and Cornwall rely very much on this line. Last autumn a six-foot hole appeared under the track in the Dawlish area, so this is far from solved. Yet, despite Devon and Cornwall—regrettably—being stuffed with Tory MPs there seems to be no real …..."

Railways: Reliability

Merchant Shipping (Monitoring, Reporting and Verification of Carbon Dioxide Emissions) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018

"I am trying to understand whether this is about just carbon dioxide monitoring or greenhouse gas monitoring because if it is just carbon, it is not compatible with UK carbon budgets, which include national shipping.

"I thank the Minister and I will not intervene again. I welcome the fact that we will recognise EU documentation. That is an excellent decision that will reduce bureaucracy. Do we need to invent a new IT system ourselves and have we managed to do that? I suppose that that …..."
