My Lords, rather like the noble Lord, Lord Strathclyde, when I came to your Lordships’ House, I was well under the average age—in fact, 30 years under. Sadly, I am now over the average age, and under these proposals I will retire from your Lordships’ Hou
My Lords, once upon a time we owned the water industry: local authorities used to run water services very well up to 1974. Will my noble friend look, alongside security issues and the White Paper work that has been undertaken, at how these bodies can be

Thank you. As I was saying, we know that infrastructure development in this country is more expensive than in many other developed countries and takes longer, mainly due to our planning system and the way that regulators in this country are risk-averse a

Jackdaw and Rosebank Oil and Gas Fields
My Lords, I wonder whether my noble friend would confirm that under the Conservatives, production in the North Sea reduced by half between 2010 and 2024—which is no surprise because it is a super-mature basin—and that giving consent to these two oilfield

My Lords, does my noble friend accept that where some PFI projects went wrong it was usually because the people negotiating the contract at the local level on behalf of the public sector did not have the expertise to do so effectively? However, as a resu
My Lords, I think I have about one and a half minutes to respond. I thank all noble Lords who have taken part in this debate. It has been good-natured, and I am grateful for that.

My Lords, I want to start this debate by paying tribute to Sir Keir Starmer for his immense services to the country. He took Labour to a landslide general election victory. He inherited a country reeling from 14 years of Conservative rule resulting in a
That this House takes note of the Government’s political priorities and legislative agenda.
My Lords, I will briefly follow the noble Lord, Lord Markham, and the noble Baroness, Lady Ludford, in supporting this amendment. The noble Lord, Lord Alton, who is the architect of the amendment—indeed, of many amendments relating to China and human rig
My Lords, is not the point here that this country is brilliant at innovation, thanks to our wonderful science base, but that we are hopeless at adoption and taking advantage of it? So many British inventions are being developed with investment overseas.
My Lords—
My Lords, can my noble friend knock this nonsense about solar development on the head, once and for all? Is it not a fact that, if you were to take all the schemes that have been proposed to develop solar energy on agricultural land, it would amount to a
My Lords, first, in welcoming my noble friend’s response, can he confirm that there was no loss of supply to customers on the occasion of the incidents referred to? Secondly, in response to the question from the noble Lord, Lord Moynihan, in which he att

Climate Change Act 2008 (International Aviation and International Shipping) Regulations 2026

My Lords, to continue this theme, the report describes a bullying and toxic culture, with junior midwives not being sufficiently supported when dealing with complex cases. It was a culture that did not allow them to refer such cases up the chain. There w

My Lords, does my noble friend reflect that when the noble Lord talks about chaos, we should go back to the coalition Government, when his party signed up to austerity, which caused such damage to our country? It also agreed to the disastrous NHS reform
