the main news from westminster. peers insist they have a right to be heard as they hold their second day of debate on the brexit bill. we have to stop turning a blind eye to the money of despots that flows to the money of despots that flows to freely through some businesses, banks and property. and, lord tebbit changes his mind about bikes, complaining about the time it takes for motorists to drive across london. that has been caused by the barricades which have been put up in order to assist the cyclists. they

also get in the way on the main road carriageways. but first, the house of lords has been having its second day of debate on the bill that will start the formal process for leaving the eu. to accommodate the 190 people who wanted to contribute, the upper chamber had an early start, kicking off at 11am instead of 2:30. first to speak was the conservative former chancellor, lord lamont. i made my maiden speech in the house of commons in 1972, in favour of our membership of the european union on the european community's act. i never dreamt that 45 years later i would be standing up and actually advocating the adverse procedure, namely that we should withdraw from the organisation i advocated joining. but it is not me who has changed, but europe, as is

symbolised in its change of name, to the eu. a liberal democrat said the british people should be given a second referendum when negotiations were complete. the government, the economy is low on the agenda, as opposed to removing jurisdiction. on the agenda, as opposed to removingjurisdiction. i'm pretty sure that's not the priority of the british people. so let the people see the final brexit deal and consider it. consider its consequences and decide on it. in two years we will have facts and reasonable clarity, not just speculation. surely then it is time for the british people to have the final word. my lords, for the british people to have the finalword. my lords, it's a pleasure to follow the noble baroness and also to disagree profoundly with her suggestion of having a second referendum. i would like to begin by congratulating the prime minister on her excellent

lancaster house speech. she had vision and clarity and it was exactly what we've been hoping to hear for many, many years. she was quite clear that she accepted the result of the referendum and that it tight. no ifs, no buts, no eea, was tight. no ifs, no buts, no eea, i'io was tight. no ifs, no buts, no eea, 110 one was tight. no ifs, no buts, no eea, no one foot in, no one foot out, a clear and clean brexit. that's what the referendum called for and that's what this government will deliver. our children and their grandchildren will ask, what did you do when this was decided? will ask, what did you do when this was decided 7 what will ask, what did you do when this was decided? what did you do at this crucial juncture? were you was decided? what did you do at this crucialjuncture? were you shackled by convention? did you dance to the tune of the daily mail or did you stand up for principal and prosperity and for the values of tolerance and inclusion and for the j! é m amendments

i will support vital amendments and if they aren't accepted i will vote against this bill. this house should be urging a rethink on this whole project. this house should be saying "not in our name". a former senior police officer is worried about the impact on security cooperation. my my lords, the terrorists, paedophiles and drug barons will breathe a sigh of relief. the british ones return to business as usual. we have once opted out of all these arrangements and this prime minister, . home secretary, “ ” moist — f” ' most important g most important i the need gig.

this narrow sphere, or we will, as told by lord finkelstein last night in this debate, be holding onto the branch halfway down the cliff when it breaks. and in that event all of the people, my lords, of europe will be at greater risk. it is the people, my lords, of europe will be at greater ri i (. it is the people, my lords, of europe will be at greater ri i (. it i you the people, my lords, of europe will beatgmeerrilc itiyou the people, my lords, of europe will beatgmeif ril(.ltiyou unreality ’ not want - , atés; * , ~ ' want certaintiéiifm * 15 " want certaintiéiii': ” it 47 15 77 so so we 1? i . so we 1? it . so we 1? it is into that with start to m reality. and them start to encounter reality. and so them start to encounter reality. and so the first thing i want to say to

out so the first thing i want to say to our front bench is in my view we should trigger article 50 as soon as possible. maybe not wait until the enactment of this. the more time spent before it is enacted more time people can waste their energy and confused themselves. the lords will start to debate possible amendments next week. there will be votes — and possible government defeats — later in the month. now, the foreign secretary boris johnson had his first meeting with the us secretary of state rex tillerson last week during the g20 summit in germany. at foreign office question—time, mps were curious to know what they had talked about. i met rex tillerson last thursday and friday and we have some very good conversations. i'm sure we will be having many more meetings weeks 21; weeks i—j months weeks 2 months ahead to entrench weeks and months ahead to entrench and deepen the relationship that has been part of the foundation of global peace and prosperity for the past 70 years. could the foreign

secretary confirmed to me that when he met with the secretary of state la st he met with the secretary of state last week he said unequivocally that her majesty was a government thinks the ban on travellers by president trump proposed to muslim countries is simply broncos —— simply wrong? you will know very well that this government did not support the travel measures that were introduced by the executive order. we didn't think they were something that we would comment to this house and it wasn't the kind of policy that we would like to see enacted in this country. we made that few very clear to our friends country. we made that few very clear to ourfriends in country. we made that few very clear to our friends in america and country. we made that few very clear to ourfriends in america and it country. we made that few very clear to our friends in america and it was by engaging constructional league with the white house and with others that we were able to secure the important clarification, that it would make no difference to any british passport holder, irrespective of country or birth.

what is the foreign secretary's idea to offer a statement to president trump after seven days in office? given the once famously declared that he wouldn't go to new york in case he was mistaken for —— mr trump, is there any chance mr trump won't come to london in case he is mistaken as the foreign secretary?” am embarrassed to tell you that... i was mistaken for mr trump i think in newcastle. but also in new york are very humbly experience it was, as you can imagine, for me. i can't tell you when this... who was the exact progenitor of the excellent idea to accord and invitation to the president to come on a state visit, but the end of the —— invitation has been. 7 ~ ., but the end of the —— invitation has been. 7 ~ éthinkit” 7... . but the end of the —— invitation has been. 7 ~ éthinkitis 7... .

comes to all the world's major crises from ukraine to syria, from afghanistan to north korea, the american policy is under review. i hear from secretary state that there is new thinking, but i'm to hear we tuned got going,” ”2 vacuum is place uk or us is the secretary of involvement. is the secretary of state happy to keep waiting for president trump's you are easy capable of thinking for himself? will we see a british initiative in any of these countries and if so where is he going to start and what is the plan? i may say, i think the finely tuned machine that is the labour party is a fine one to offer any kind of little advice to the american administration. . .. .. .. a... .i' .., :;——!

by the united states in respect of syria is a course that the uk has principally advocated, which is one in which the russians and the iranians are separated in their interests and we move towards a political solution and it session away from the barbarism of the assad regime. a conservative has said taxpayers' money shouldn't be wasted, as he put it, on trying to rehabilitate prisoners who "couldn't care less". that comment from philip davies came as thejustice committee took evidence on proposals to reform the prison system in england and wales. i suspect this was proposed to make rehabilitation a statutory purpose. is that likely to make any change to commissioning decisions? does that underpin it or what? it certainly brings a different focus to commissioning decisions

but, of course, once you have the statutory purpose, then your eyes are on what are purposes of the services towards resettlement and preparation for realease. but the point is they will have to be with statutory purpose. in balance and where we target scarce resources in the future, value for money in terms of public money... then there is a key driver there to say one of the purposes of imprisionment is absolutely to focus on that. i'm guessing you would all welcome the fact that it's statutory purpose. absolutely. —4_ i think it is necessary to have a good and robust understanding of the sorts of activities you would like to see that you think would lead to rehabilitation and notjust a simple measure of saying,

rehabilitation is a reduction of reoffending. rehabilitation for someone with multiple and complex needs, who is very far away from the labour market, mental health issues, drug and alcohol addiction, is going to need a particular kind of rehabilitation that may be different from someone who is able and engaging with education and looking for work on the out and on release on temporary licence. it strikes me that some offenders are in a position where they want to turn their lives around and some of them are determined not to turn their lives around. surely we should be encouraging governments to cherry pick the offenders who want to turn their lives around and throw the resources at them, rather than spread them evenly on people who do not want to turn their lives around. there is a real danger that if we do not work with those people with complex needs, they're going to be the people coming in and out of the prison costing the prison service a lot of money. they are going to be

in and out of the a&e, costing the nhs a lot of money. they are going to be creating more victims in our communities when they get released because they do not have the right level of support. thre is an argument to go both ways. “.ng 1531533555555 5555 5.5555557 575...
