2026-06-09 E-scooters and E-bikes
My Lords, last October, Sandy Peters was walking on a pavement in south London with her son—it was his birthday—when a hired bike hit her at full speed. Her face went into a brick wall. She spent seven days in hospital, facing £10,000-worth of dental sur

Swimming is an important part of water safety, and we welcome the fact that the Government have included classroom-based water safety education in the curriculum from September. Bystander rescue, including members of the public safely rescuing a person i
2026-04-15 Knife Crime
My Lords, I very much welcome this good and comprehensive plan. However, the important thing is that it is sustained and is not just a flash in the pan where, in a few years’ time, we start cutting away the funding and looking at other approaches. It has
2026-04-13 Nitrous Oxide
I am grateful for the Minister’s reply. As he knows, it is illegal for anybody under 18 to purchase nitrous oxide, but there is a growing trend in our cities and towns where drug pushers buy dozens and dozens of cannisters of nitrous oxide and fill ballo
2026-04-13 Nitrous Oxide
To ask His Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the (1) extent, and (2) risks, of use of nitrous oxide gas by young people.
2026-03-16 Media Literacy (Communications and Digital Committee Report)
My Lords, when our committee published its report on media literacy last year, we used words such as “crisis” and “leadership vacuum”. They were not chosen lightly. One in four UK adults finds it difficult to distinguish true from false information onlin
2026-02-24 Prisons: Education
My Lords, I am sure we can all agree that education will play a crucial part in trying to reduce the incredibly worrying reoffending rates. The Minister has been very kind in giving me detailed responses to Written Questions. I am sure Members will be co

To ask His Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the provision of education in prisons.
2026-02-11 English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill
My Lords, I have added my name to this amendment. Good local government and community empowerment need a strong local media to shine a light on the council chamber, to offer scrutiny, and to encourage communities. However, over the past 20 years, we have

2026-02-09 Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
My Lords, I will make a few comments and express my thanks to everybody involved in the Bill, particularly the Minister, who was always fully on her brief, who was prepared to listen—always— and to meet quite regularly, and who was a model as to how Min

My Lords, we understand and accept these amendments.

I beg to move Amendment 1, on behalf of my noble friend Lord Mohammed.
2026-02-09 Hospitals: Delayed Discharges
My Lords, bed-blocking—as we refer to it, as opposed to delayed discharges—is a very sensitive issue, for the hospital and the patient. It leads to people waiting in corridors to be treated. Many different ways have been attempted to deal with this: expa
2026-02-03 Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
My Lords, it is a bit like the noble Baroness, Lady Cass, having the two doctors in the room and great passion. It reminds me a bit of this Chamber, actually: we can certainly go for it at times. I normally shy away from edtech, but I thought, “No, co

I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
2026-02-03 Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
My Lords, I will speak to my other amendment in this group, Amendment 243B, but I will just add a few words on Amendment 243E, following on from my noble friend Lady Tyler’s comments. We are in danger of abandoning an entire generation of young people wh

My Lords, I rise to move Amendment 222 in my name. This would require the Secretary of State to publish a report outlining the steps needed to introduce a national tutoring guarantee and to begin implementing its recommendations. I brought this recommend

2026-02-03 Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
Children have a right to learn, and teachers have a right to teach. Permanent exclusion is far more than a disciplinary measure; it is a pivotal moment that can shape a child’s future. Consider the 2023-24 academic year, when almost 10,900 children were
2026-02-03 Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
My Lords, I will speak to Amendment 216. The amendment to ban mobile phones in schools was introduced to safeguard children’s well-being, which is a principle that I wholeheartedly support. But it is therefore imperative that we consider all the ways tha
2026-02-03 Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
Every child must be safeguarded and safe from harm when they attend school. I remember, 15 years ago, what were called EpiPens. I had never heard of them until a parent came into school and told me about her child who had a particular allergy. We stocked
2026-02-03 Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
My Lords, in my view, all the amendments in this group are important and worth seriously considering. I will deal first with Amendment 206. Of course, one person’s twaddle is most people’s reality. The Curriculum and Assessment Review is an important
