Pension Schemes Bill
My Lords, does the Minister not recognise that in most industries, moving ahead of your competitors is an advantage, not a disadvantage? It is certainly not a reason not to move in the right direction.

Pension Schemes Bill
My Lords, I begin by declaring an interest as chief executive of NEXT plc, a company that has over 20,000 colleagues enrolled in an auto-enrolment pension.
I want to convey to the Government just how worried people are at the idea that the Government

Employment Rights Bill
Would the Minister accept that setting a cap on the number of hours still gives the Secretary of State flexibility to determine exactly what the number of hours is, while giving industry the security, comfort and certainty it needs to carry on investing

Employment Rights Bill
My Lords, Amendment 2 stands in my name. I declare my interest as a shareholder and the chief executive of Next plc, a job I have held for 24 years. I should add that Next employs nearly 50,000 people in the UK, of whom around 20,000 are part-time.

Employment Rights Bill
Would the Minister accept that having a maximum number in the Bill would be enormously important so that business can prepare for this? The number of hours set as the threshold will determine the number of employees who need to be dealt with. If it is 3%

Employment Rights Bill
My Lords, I rise in support of Amendment 8 in my name. I declare my interests as stated on the register, in particular my role as chief executive of Next plc, the job I have held for 24 years, which makes me the UK’s longest-serving FTSE 100 chief execut
Before the Minister sits down, can he say how much this amendment and the resulting delay would cost the Government? That would help those of us on this side of the Committee to understand why this is not possible.
My Lords, I declare my interests as set out in the register, particularly my role as chief executive of Next plc, a company that employs over 40,000 people, of whom 22,000 are part-time. It is a job that I have had for 22 years, which I think makes me th

Homes: Existing Communities
My Lords, I start by saying how much I appreciate the opportunity of debating this subject in Grand Committee today. I pay tribute to the collective wisdom of the House; I know many Members have spoken before on this subject. I has taken me a year to get

Homes: Existing Communities
To ask His Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to increase the supply and improve the quality of the homes people want, in the places they want to live, whilst ensuring that development does not adversely affect existing communities.

Long-Term National Housing Strategy
My Lords, this debate is testament to a rare cross-party consensus. There is broad agreement that our housing market is socially divisive and economically debilitating. I would argue that it is the single biggest impediment to economic growth in the UK.

Economy: The Growth Plan 2022
My Lords, I declare my interest as a serving chief executive of a FTSE 100 retail company, a post I have held for 21 years. Understandably, today’s debate has focused on recent government events and the mini-Budget, but it is important to stand back a li
Surely the most brutal form of leaving would be to leave with no deal at all. The problem with this amendment is that it does not say, “We should have another referendum on whether we stay or leave”. It says, “We should have a referendum on whether we ac
