My Lords, I might check my terminology on that. My understanding is that there are human rights matters that are devolved, but not all of those issues are. I will see if I can expand on that a little, but I am quoting from section 347 of the notes to...

My Lords, I thank everyone who has spoken on this short order, and I do not think that apologies are necessary for coming in with strong support in the matter before us. I will try to deal with the questions that have been raised. The noble Duke, the Duke of...

As someone who is undoubtedly interested in greater autonomy for Scotland, when I saw an SI with ““Devolution, Scotland””, written on it, I was excited. However, I can assure noble Lords that the disappointment is overwhelming, because the order is not about devolution at all. In fact, it is virtually...

I, too, have pleasure in agreeing that the measure seems appropriate. The extension of the operation of the Equality Bill to Scotland in respect of reserved powers seems entirely right. However, there are some areas of uncertainty about how that will work in practice and where the lines will be...

I am most grateful to the Minister for introducing the order. I was very relieved to hear him say that it was being done under the powers of Section 30(2) of the Scotland Act because it had puzzled me that the order merely mentions Section 115. I am always very...

My Lords, having taken part in proceedings on the Equality Bill, which was, of course, a United Kingdom Bill, I welcome the fact that these will be United Kingdom matters and that Scotland will be embraced as part of the whole on equality matters. I am sure that that is...
