Independent Schools: Tax Changes
My Lords, I declare that my son teaches in the private sector, but I will not be drawing on his experiences or the views of his school in my remarks; I wish to be broader than that.
Jealousy is not a great emotion. It produces bitterness and unpleasan

Saudi East-West Oil Pipeline
My Lords, does the disruption in the Middle East not prove that we need to get the Jackdaw gas out as quickly as possible for domestic use? Does that not bring a tax bonanza, which surely the Government need?

Education and Skills Reform
Given the need for more work experience, more apprenticeships and other support from the private sector, will the Government look again at the very damaging tax rises and regulatory changes they have introduced, which have driven down vacancies in a big
My Lords, I have always believed in the supremacy of the House of Commons, and I have therefore always favoured an unelected upper House. I have always thought it right that this House should concentrate on two things: amending and improving legislation

Government Debt
My Lords, since September 2022, there has been a big sales programme of longer-dated bonds by the Bank of England to drive up longer-term interest rates. Can the Minister tell us how much, over the past two years, the Government and Treasury have had to
My Lords, I thank the noble Lord, Lord McCrea, for moving this amendment so that we can again debate this crucial constitutional matter. I have every sympathy with the points he made, because what we face again here is legislation by sleight of hand. We

Public Sector Fraud Authority
How much fraud did the PSFA find last year and how much more does it think it will find with the enhanced methods of going about it?

Fiscal Outlook
My Lords, the Conservative Government were swept from power, first because they did not deliver on immigration control in the way that they promised but, secondly, because they presided over a very major surge in inflation in the early 2020s, which had b

Jodrell Bank Observatory: Funding
When these cuts are finally made, how many jobs will be lost and how many people will no longer be able to get grants or contracts?
This is no way to legislate for Northern Ireland. It is not right to annex part of our country to the European Union. At the time of the Windsor Framework, I and some colleagues in the Commons opposed it and pointed out that there were much easier ways o

No. 10 North
My Lords, I see that Ministers and senior officials will be mainly working from No. 10 North. Why does No. 10 south lack the prime ministerial authority to make good decisions?

Railways Bill
My Lords, I welcome these probing amendments and look forward to the Minister’s response to some very important general issues. It is right that the staff in all the operating companies that will be affected by this should have an early idea from the Gov

Jackdaw and Rosebank Oil and Gas Fields
Why do the Government wish to increase world CO2, and why do they wish to pay taxes to foreign companies and countries rather than to British ones by insisting on importing LNG rather than getting our own gas out of a pipe, which generates much less CO2?

Falkland Islands
I warmly welcome the Minister to her well-deserved new post. Will she update the House on where we have got to with the important investment in the oil field 140 miles north of the Falklands? Is that not also going to be transformational for the people o

Public/Private Partnerships
My Lords, will the Government speed up the identification of suitable projects and the granting of the necessary permissions? There is plenty of private capital that could help the Government. Will they make sure that enough risk is transferred to protec
My Lords, I was happy to support previous Conservative Governments in implementing the triple lock, and I support the current Government in honouring their promise. This has been a useful policy in reducing pensioner poverty.
As one of the Members of
My Lords, I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Whitty, that the national insurance increase and the farms tax were very bad ideas which did considerable damage. It is a pity that more noble Lords behind the Government did not make that clearer in time to av

Parcel Delivery Services
My Lords, I am grateful for the opportunity to intervene in this debate, owing to the general lack of interest, but it is a pity because this is an important subject. I agree with the two former speakers that, when the service lets people down, it can be
We need to renegotiate the Windsor Framework agreement, which is totally unacceptable. This Parliament needs to govern, and establish the laws for, Northern Ireland, and we need to integrate our internal market across from the mainland of Great Britain t

Direction of Government
Why do the Government not rule out any tax rises in the next Budget, given the disaster of the previous two Budgets when speculation about tax rises and actual tax rises destroyed jobs, drove up unemployment, closed businesses, undermined confidence and

Public Office (Accountability) Bill
My Lords, I share the mood of this House about the tragedy of Hillsborough. I pay tribute all those who have spoken so movingly and with great sensitivity about the long suffering that it has caused. They have drawn, rightly, on their own experiences.

Can I confirm that the Minister said yes when I asked whether the state is taking responsibility for all the historical debts and borrowings?

British Steel
On nationalisation, have the Government also taken responsibility for the historical debts and borrowings, pre-spring 2025, that the company incurred under Chinese owners? That is a very large historical debt that we should not have to share.
