Naomi Long: ...with the Public Prosecution Service in supporting them. The individuals whose convictions are being set aside were tried and convicted in the Magistrates' Courts. However, a technical change in the law, made in error and prior to the devolution of justice, meant that a small number of sexual offences could only be prosecuted in the higher Crown Court. The removal of certain sexual offences...
Lord Callanan: This is a matter for the negotiations but it is certainly one of the factors we are considering. We will seek to ensure that our future approach is at least as ambitious as the current arrangements. Furthermore, we have set ambitious emissions reduction targets framed by the Climate Change Act 2008; leaving the EU does not change that. As I have said, the purpose of the Bill is to ensure...
Roseanna Cunningham: Amendment 38 substitutes sections 21 to 23 of the Judiciary and Courts (Scotland) Act 2008 with new sections 20A to 20G. The new sections make provision for the appointment of judges, temporary judges and re-employed retired judges of the Court of Session and for the remuneration and expenses of temporary and former judges. Amendments 53 and 54 are consequential amendments required as a...
Jennifer Willott: ...are on the edge of their seats. Schedule 1 to the Bill lists amendments that are consequential on part 1 of the Bill, one of which is to remove from the interpretation section of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 the definition of “consumer contract”, because once the Bill is in force, the 1979 Act will no longer have specific provisions relating to consumer contracts. Instead, they will be...
Lord Bates: My Lords, in the report that we are considering, Richard Heaton observed: “The volume of legislation, its piecemeal structure, its level of detail and frequent amendments, and interaction with common law and European law, mean that even professional users can find law complex, hard to understand and difficult to comply with”. If Mr Heaton were an instantly forgettable Back-Bench Peer such...
...Growth and Infrastructure Bill, Mr Howarth. I hope your Committee will agree that clauses 15 to 18, although largely technical, are sensible improvements to legislation that will have a positive impact on energy infrastructure. The reasoning behind the clauses is that currently developers of power stations can be held back from improving their plans because they have no way to easily vary...
Lord Redesdale: My Lords, it is quite useful to carry on from the previous Bill in this Second Reading debate because we are also considering changing legislation that is slightly flawed. I refer to the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. I was looking round the Chamber trying to work out how many Peers were here in 1991. I know that the Minister was. Actually, everyone speaking today was, apart from the noble Lord,...
Nigel Dodds: ...to be dead. As a consequence of such a declaration, the Registrar General will then be authorised to enter the details of that missing person in a new register of presumed deaths. The effect in law of the High Court declaration and the entering of details in that new register will be as though the missing person has died and his or her death registered in the usual way under the Births and...
Michael Lord: I have to notify the House, in accordance with the Royal Assent Act 1967, that the Queen has signified her Royal Assent to the following Acts: Appropriation (No. 2) Act 2008 Finance Act 2008 Sale of Student Loans Act 2008 Special Educational Needs (Information) Act 2008 Statute Law (Repeals) Act 2008 Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Act 2008 Health and Social Care Act 2008 Criminal...
Harriet Harman: ...living on a motion in the name of the Democratic Unionist party, followed by motion to approve the draft Council Tax Limitation (Maximum Amounts) (England) Order 2008, followed by all stages of the Statute Law (Repeals) Bill [Lords]. Thursday 10 July—Remaining stages of the Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [Lords]. The provisional business for the week commencing 14 July...
Lord Bassam of Brighton: My Lords, on behalf of my noble friend Lord Rooker, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a second time. The Bill repeals subsections (2) to (5) of Section 5 of the Football (Disorder) Act 2000, together with a related reference in Section 3 of that Act. The effect will be to continue in force without limit of time the provisions for banning orders on complaint and summary measures...
