When will we have a realistic timetable and budget to complete the works on this much-delayed railway line?
2026-06-18 Steel Tariffs
This is a very large increase in costs for steel processors, so what is the Government’s estimate of the job losses and business losses that are sure to follow such a comprehensive, large increase in a major cost to these businesses?
2026-06-17 Thames Water
Pursuant to the Minister’s kind reply to me, I welcome the Government’s wish to have more reservoirs. She might like to ask about the Abingdon reservoir plan for the Thames area, which has long been around. It was much needed when I was MP for my local a
2026-06-17 Thames Water
My Lords, do the Government agree that Thames Water needs to put in a lot of new, larger waste pipes and an extra reservoir to cater for the extra population that we have experienced in the area? What is the Minister’s rough estimate of how much capital
2026-06-16 Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Bill

2026-06-16 Russian Shadow Fleet
To deter these ships, surely it is important that the Government tell them what would happen to their cargo and what would happen to their vessel if they persist.
2026-06-15 Immigration: Eurodac and SIS II
Should not every migrant arriving by illegal boat be asked who they paid, who told them about the service, and who was driving the boat? If they do not co-operate, should not the authorities look at their bank records and their phone records?
2026-06-10 New Towns: Laying the Foundations (Built Environment Committee Report)
My Lords, in 2004 the Labour Government were struggling with a shortage of homes and rising housing costs, so I offered some published advice on how, for example, they could initiate the construction of a new garden city by the Thames. I provisionally ca

We do need more capacity for reservoirs and water storage. Where have the Government and the regulator got to in granting the permits so that work can get under way to make that much-needed provision?
2026-06-09 Further Education Colleges: Recovery of VAT
Why do the Government so often favour a model that takes a lot of tax off institutions, people and companies and then has to give some back by way of grant to help pay for it? Is that not just a double handling charge that we do not need?
2026-06-08 Royal Mail
Is not the financial performance of Royal Mail so much better than that of the nationalised Post Office, with Royal Mail requiring no subsidy from taxpayers and the Post Office sending colossal bills for big losses and for damaging treatment of staff who

It is 12p.
2026-06-04 UK Electricity Prices
My Lords, industrial electricity prices are four times the level of the United States of America’s and more than three times the level of China’s. It is no wonder that we face a disaster of deindustrialisation accelerating under this Government with the
2026-06-02 Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]
My Lords, I welcome the three main aims of this legislation, which were well set out by the Minister. The Government are right that the aviation industry has been growing reasonably well and could make a bigger contribution to growth and prosperity in ou

How many job losses will there be in the steel-using industries in the United Kingdom as a result of the new higher tariffs?
2026-06-01 Middle East: Economic Response

Will the Minister congratulate the supermarkets on being competitive, with good prices, despite all the costs the Government are imposing on them? Does he agree that their net profit margins are very low, showing that the problem of rising food prices re

Why has there has such a long delay in the publication of basic materials, such as Lord Mandelson’s application and his declaration of interests, which are of great interest to everyone but surely cannot pose any difficulties?

My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Alderdice, is right to warn us all that our relative prosperity and power is waning. I have always been happy to fully support this Government’s main aim, as set out in the general election and repeated in all the econom

In Washington, the Chancellor pledged to avoid unnecessary trade restrictions. Can we look forward to the Government cancelling the bad idea of introducing a large carbon border tax or tariff, which would be a penalty on British consumers and a further b
