Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 May 2026

Debate

Supreme Court Dillon Judgment

Contribution

I thank the noble Lord for his contribution and for his work and interest in this area, both personally and through his committee. On the timing of when the RO comes, the noble Lord will appreciate that that might be above my pay grade. The Chief Whip has now left the Chamber, so I could get myself in a bit of trouble—and I would prefer not to. On amendments, the noble Lord makes a reasonable request; let me speak to the department and the Secretary of State to see what I can facilitate. On the Peter May report, the noble Lord is absolutely right that we have just had an internal review of the workings of ICRIR. The findings of that review were stark and suggest that we absolutely need to bring forward the legislation to strengthen the governance arrangements, so that every community can have confidence in the process and so that the workforce can also have confidence in how the legacy commission operates.
