Lords Of The Blog
Banking it
— The solution to the dilemma of the banker’s bonus is obvious. Mr. Hester should take it, and give it to charity. That way the contract he seems to have had with RBS is fulfilled; honour is preserved; and the money goes back to the people for good purposes. The chair of RBS and of the [...] 27 January 2012, 5:18 pm
The Benefit Cap and Child Support
— No-one who has been reading this blog for a while will be surprised that I voted with the Government on the Benefit Cap last Monday night and also for the Changes to the Child Support Agency on Wednesday. There is however a good case for compromise on the benefit cap in one respect. The cap is [...] 27 January 2012, 2:10 pm
Against my Will
— The Inheritance (Cohabitants) Bill received its first reading on the 12th January. It is based on a Law Commission Report, Law Com no. 331 (2011) http://www.justice.gov.uk/lawcommission/docs/lc331_intestacy_report.pdf which, after consultation, recommended that the law be changed so that cohabitants would have an automatic claim to the property of their partner if he or she died intestate, provided [...] 26 January 2012, 3:34 pm
Declining mail
— Each year, I table a question asking how many items of mail were received in the Palace of Westminster in the previous year. I have previously written on how the number of letters we receive has declined in recent years. In 2006, for example, 4,789,935 items of post were received. In 2010, the figure was [...] 26 January 2012, 10:18 am
Government defeats
— The Government has suffered two defeats this week on the Welfare Reform Bill, both attracting considerable media attention. The fact of defeat is, as I have previously noted, not particularly unusual. These two defeats, though, are noteworthy, the first for the fact that it was Liberal Democrat votes that accounted for it. The Government is [...] 26 January 2012, 10:05 am
Challenging drugs policy
— I detect that attitudes towards drugs policy are starting to move, both at the international and the national level. The Home Affairs Committee in the House of Commons announced last year that it was undertaking an inquiry and invited submissions. It has now started taking evidence and has heard from Sir Richard Branson, who serves on [...] 24 January 2012, 10:29 pm
DRC Elections 2012: Observing a Rush to the Polls
— November 28, 2011 was historic in the DRC; the first ever democratic national election organized by the Congolese themselves. Indeed it was only the second time since independence in 1960 that a multi-party electoral vote would be set to determine the presidential seat. However, this relatively undeveloped voting system left the electoral process wide open [...] 23 January 2012, 11:22 am
The quiz – notable quotes
— I am always away the first two weekends in January – the first for the annual Study of Parliament Group conference and the second in order to serve on the interview panel for Thouron Scholarships – so this is the first opportunity of the year to pen a quiz. This is is on quotations. As [...] 21 January 2012, 10:09 am
Working together, making progress
— Much of the debate around reforming the Lords gets caught up in the idea that the two Houses are rivals, where one gaining legitimacy automatically undermines the capacity of the other to do its job. In fact, the two Houses work best when they work together, and for that having a more assertive Lords can [...] 20 January 2012, 12:28 pm
More than the chamber
— Somebody recently asked if I got to see more of London since I joined the Lords. They presumed that I did. I had to point out that I used to see more of London before I became a peer than since I became one. Indeed, I rarely see much beyond the Palace of Westminster. On [...] 17 January 2012, 10:32 pm
