Baroness Bryan of Partick: ...that had an unelected second legislative Chamber with some Members there on a hereditary basis. Imagine it had reserved places for members of the established religion, that it did not have fair representation of the nations and regions, that less than 30% of its Members were women and that its membership favoured ex-MPs and members of selected well-paid professions. We would probably...
...two-child benefit cap, to ensure that rural communities and farmers receive adequate support, and to reform the system for parliamentary elections by replacing first-past-the-post with proportional representation, so that every vote counts.”—(Christine Jardine.) Question put forthwith ( Standing Order No. 33), That the amendment be made.
Lord Anderson of Ipswich: ...is inexplicably omitted from those lists. It is a three-year project, based on a citizens’ assembly and two YouGov surveys of 4,000 people. On the big-ticket constitutional issues—proportional representation, an elected House of Lords—public opinion was unremarkably split. What is truly striking is the strength of support revealed by these surveys for reforms that are...
Emma Hardy: ...for a marine licence, in a manner that the MMO considers most likely to bring the proposal to the attention of people with an interest in it. The licensing authority must have regard to any representations which it receives from any person having an interest in the outcome of the application.
Wes Streeting: ...for social care as part of our ambition to build the national care service, we will make sure that unpaid family carers are very much at the centre of our thinking, in no small part thanks to her representations.
Baroness Merron: My Lords, on 19 July, as a result of constructive work between the UK Government and the EU, the EU published a notice that recognises the unique circumstances of Northern Ireland and the representations that have been made by the UK Government. It set specific arrangements in place for Northern Ireland, providing an additional 10 years to still use amalgam fillings, or until an earlier time...
Lewis Cocking: ...it. That has been made clear to me from the reactions of House staff when they discover that I represent Broxbourne. I will do my utmost to follow him in taking my responsibilities of scrutiny and representation seriously. As I have said, Broxbourne is my home and the place I love. The constituency is characterised by its closeness to both London and the countryside, with the Lee Valley...
Lord Aberdare: ..., and ways of addressing them locally, regionally, nationally and sectorally. I look forward to hearing more about how Skills England will work, and I hope that its membership will include proper representation of independent training providers, which deliver two-thirds of all apprenticeships. On that subject, the idea of turning the apprenticeship levy into a more flexible growth and...
Laurence Turner: ...work in Israel has played an important role in the entrenchment of poverty and political instability in the west bank, alongside the illegal settlements programme. Will the Foreign Secretary make representations on this important matter, recognising that both the Israeli Histadrut and the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions, as pillars of civil society in both nations, have an...
Cameron Thomas: ...and by dedicating this parliamentary term to public service. Voters will engage with politics only if they feel that their vote has value. We must transition to an electoral system of proportional representation. On behalf of the people of Tewkesbury, thank you.
Cat Smith: ...make it so much easier for people to take part in our democracy. I have heard a lot from constituents who have looked at the results of the general election and raised questions about proportional representation. In the last Parliament, the Government changed the voting system for electing police and crime commissioners from the alternative vote to first past the post, and they did so in a...
Lord Newby: ...of our weak position in the Commons. I hope, therefore, that they will now agree that, to follow their own logic, Liberal Democrats should get another 87 Peers to align us with our two parties’ representation in the Commons, or that they should voluntarily reduce their numbers to 134 to bring them into line with our 80. I am particularly looking forward to hearing the view of the noble...
Colum Eastwood: ...from some of the legal authorities who would like to get at us. Thank you very much for that. Mr Speaker-Elect, I wish you all the best in corralling this new House. It is very diverse in terms of representation and in terms of opinion. I look forward to the end of tribal politics—I think that will be a sight to behold. Congratulations.
Matthew O'Toole: ...may not be there to make the decision. People expect honesty and humility from their public representatives. I acknowledge the constitutional context in which you made your argument, but, given the representations from advocates of a free press and victims of sexual crime, do you continue to support post-death anonymity for sex offenders?
Justin McNulty: Minister, to what extent are you concerned about the representations from the Royal Society of Ulster Architects that experienced professionals believe that this legislation could result in a situation in which innocent parties are held liable for the fault of others? Should that not be enough for serious consideration? That does not seem to have been the case in this instance. Instead, from...
Andrew Muir: I have had very productive discussions with the Finance Minister on that. We are on the same page and intend to make joint representations to the UK Government on that. There have been further developments in formulating our engagement. Obviously, there will be new Ministers on Friday, no matter what party is returned to government. It is important that we support our farmers and agriculture...
Conor Murphy: There is a general sense across all the tourism organisations that it is not good news. That is why we have made representations already to the Government in London, although we did not receive much by way of response. There have been discussions in the Executive, and there is a recognition across the Executive that the scheme is not good for tourism. It is certainly not good for our economic...
Matthew O'Toole: ...way, stymie Dublin Airport. It is not working; it is a waste of money. Could that money not be better directed towards our rail network, active travel or, indeed, anything else? Will he make representations to his colleagues — the Finance and Economy Ministers — to do away with that preposterous waste of money?
Conor Murphy: ...switch off outside their working hours and get proper rest and relaxation. I am therefore consulting on how to strengthen workers' right to disconnect. The chapter of the consultation on voice and representation seeks views on how to ensure that workers have a voice in the decisions that affect them. Trade unions play a critical role in articulating the interests of workers and in ensuring...
Alison Johnstone: That concludes the debate on the Scottish Elections (Representation and Reform) Bill at stage 1.
