2026-06-22 Master’s Level History Scholarships
My Lords, I was very encouraged by the Minister’s excellent Answer to the excellent Question from the noble Lord, Lord Barber. We do indeed need to remember where we are from, and history is a manual of what works and what does not. Can the Minister thi
2026-06-18 Steel Tariffs
My Lords, the French economist Frédéric Bastiat said that the distinguishing feature of a good economist is looking beyond the visible and seeing the secondary consequences. There are some 34,000 people employed in the steel sector in this country; one c
2026-06-11 Welfare Reforms and Youth Unemployment
My Lords, I declare my interest as the director of the Institute of Economic Affairs, the longest established free market think tank in the country. I recently came across something called Munchausen syndrome by proxy. The medical or legal name for it is
2026-05-21 King’s Speech
My Lords, it is always a pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Hintze. His patriotism and clear-headedness are an inspiration. “An increasingly dangerous and volatile world threatens the United Kingdom”. Those were His Majesty’s first words—wel
2026-05-20 Supermarkets: Voluntary Price Caps
My Lords, at a time of rising economic populism, there is a responsibility on all of us in this House, and especially Ministers, to be calm, factual and accurate. To follow on from the remarks of my friend the noble Baroness, Lady Jones of Moulsecoomb, a
2026-03-18 EU Directive: Adequate Minimum Wages
My Lords, we have been lucky enough to have a 30-year run of structurally low unemployment, which is now coming to an end, especially with younger workers—partly because of the national insurance rise that the noble Lord, Lord Fox, just raised; partly be
2026-03-17 Birmingham City Council and Unite: Refuse Workers’ Pay
My Lords, is the truth not that these insanitary and insalubrious horrors being visited on our second city are the result of an act of grotesque judicial activism? Everyone understands what equal pay means: men and women should get the same for the same
2026-02-25 Imran Khan: Imprisonment
My Lords, the Minister is, of course, quite right that Imran Khan is not a British subject, despite his long and deep connections to this country. None the less, I do not think that any British Government can be indifferent to the fate of Pakistan, a Com
2026-02-12 Donations to Political Parties
My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Sikka, for introducing the debate and for being so frank about the proposal. As he said right at the end, the alternative to private donations is state funding, which indeed is the lesson of everywhere wher
2026-01-22 Retail and Hospitality Sector
My Lords, I congratulate my noble friend Lady Monckton on securing this debate and will take us back to how she started—with the Woolsack, which is currently sustaining the graceful and delicate form of the noble Baroness, Lady Bull. The people who desig
2026-01-12 Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
My Lords, what are we here for if not to think again? We are wriggling painfully on a hook. In the early days, a lot of people, hearing that the Chagos Islands were to be handed over, understood it to be some kind of restitution to the indigenous Chagos
2026-01-07 Shamima Begum
My Lords, previous speakers who have raised questions so far have made a big play out of the age of Shamima Begum. She was one of three Bethnal Green schoolgirls; they were either 15 or 16 at the time they went to join Daesh. Will the Minister join me in
2026-01-05 Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
My Lords, I add my voice to those of the noble and gallant Lords, Lord Craig of Radley and Lord Houghton of Richmond. It seems to me that this is precisely the kind of question that ought to have been looked at in detail. The more we have sat here and g
2026-01-05 Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
My Lords, I shall speak to Amendments 11, 12, 13 and 16, in the name of my noble friend Lord Lilley, who is detained by difficult transport situations in France—he is perhaps not the only person in that situation—and, in the interest of brevity, to my ow
2025-12-10 Children: Social Media
My Lords, the Minister thinks that 16 year-olds should not have certain access. The noble Baroness, Lady Berger, if I understand her, thinks that they should be banned from social media. Can I take it as read that both noble Baronesses will oppose 16 yea
2025-11-25 Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
My point is that there has not been a vote in the other place, so the only proper chance is here.
2025-11-25 Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
My Lords, I support the amendment moved by the noble Baroness, Lady Hoey. It would be interesting not only to look at the future projections of the population of Chagossians but to have a proper, full-on demographic study of this unique people. We heard
2025-11-25 Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
I thank the Minister. I also thank the noble Baroness, Lady Hoey, and the noble Lord, Lord Morrow, who were diligent and eloquent in their defence of the dispossessed Chagossians. Sometimes people approach the story of Britain overseas as a kind of moral
2025-11-25 Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
My Lords, nationality has two distinct meanings: it is what it says on our passports, but it is also what we feel. The second of those, the sense of identity and belonging, of being a link in a chain between past and future generations, can be unconnecte

2025-11-25 Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
I am grateful to the Minister for dealing so comprehensively with all those points, and to all noble Lords who contributed: the noble Baronesses, Lady Hoey and Lady Ludford, my noble friends Lord Bellingham and Lord Lilley, the noble Lords, Lord Weir and
2025-11-25 Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
My Lord, I beg leave to propose my Amendments 20L, 20N and 20P. In the interests of brevity and immediacy, I will speak only on Amendment 20L, because I have covered the others in previous groups. This is the amendment that requires the Secretary of Stat

2025-11-25 Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
My Lords, I support the amendment of the noble Lord, Lord Morrow. I thank the Ministers for the patience and courtesy that they have displayed all evening. The two Ministers and the Whip know that they are among my favourite Peers, not just my favourite
2025-11-25 Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill
It is a very good point. I think there is a divergence, exactly as in this country, between the permanent apparat and the rest of the country, which would explain why my noble friend Lord Kempsell and the noble Lord, Lord Kerr, are speaking to very diffe
