Proceeding contribution from Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 28 June 2023. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on International Atomic Energy Agency (Immunities and Privileges) (Amendment) Order 2023.


International Atomic Energy Agency (Immunities and Privileges) (Amendment) Order 2023

My understanding is that there has been no impact. I looked over my shoulder to confirm that and I got a nod, so I believe that I am right in saying that there has been no impact. The provisions had previously been applied operationally, and meetings of the agency have been held in the UK without any incident. However, the judgment is that we cannot continue indefinitely to bear the risk of our domestic legislation being at odds with our international treaty obligations. There have been no incidents. With that, I trust that the Committee will support the order.
