Lord Moylan (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 September 2026

Debate

Railways Bill

Contribution

On my Amendment 37, if the Minister insists on responding solely in the literal sense to explicitly probing amendments—seeking in this case to work out how a conflict in directions between Scottish Ministers and the Secretary of State, for example, might be addressed—all he does is encourage further amendments to be tabled to the Bill to bring the subject back so that it can be debated. One has to keep finding wording that will make that happen. I genuinely would like to know how he sees these multiple direct laws, producing directions, operating together. Do they collaborate, what happens in the case of contradictions, and so forth? These are questions to which Parliament is entitled to an answer.
