In response to the point made by the noble Baroness, Lady Jones, on remote electronic monitoring, the Minister talked about where

it might be mandated but not the size of vessels. One of the issues in bycatch and discards is that smaller boats fishing in our waters are as responsible for that. Can she comment on mandating boats of all sizes?

My Lords, I rise to speak to Amendment 101, which I drafted to try to close the dangerous loophole in the Bill whereby people with eating disorders could qualify for an assisted death, contrary to the intent of the sponsors to limit the Bill to people with a terminal life-limiting...

Gosh, that was brief. I will say a few words on behalf of our Benches. I apologise that the noble Baroness, Lady Pinnock, is stuck—there are no trains anywhere—so the House will have me, very briefly.

My Lords, given what we said on Amendment 30, these Benches definitely support the principle that we should be basing decisions on the best available scientific evidence. In principle, we certainly support Amendment 131. It picks up on the point that was made earlier by the noble Baroness, Lady Freeman,...

I support the intent of the Bill to increase personal autonomy for those with life-limiting illnesses, but good legislation must provide

adequate protection for the vulnerable, including those with eating disorders. The malnutrition that accompanies anorexia means, as the noble Baroness, Lady Debbonaire, said, that if treatment is delayed or...

My Lords, what discussions have the Government had with retailers and manufacturers about stopping the use of plastic in chocolate selection boxes for Christmas? It will not be long before they

are stacked up in supermarkets again, demonstrating the mountains of unnecessary single-use plastic being used.
