My Lords, I do not propose to repeat what we said in an earlier debate in Committee, but I thank my noble friend Lord De Mauley for these amendments. I want to focus on Amendment 48 and the importance of volunteering. The Sullivan report identified th

Yes, and the self-employed. That is because they do not have to ask for time off or negotiate with their bosses for training days. I would argue that not only does such uncertainty put people off being in and remaining in the reserves but it leads to the

My Lords, to address the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Empey, we are going to come on to the issue of protections for employees in the next group. At the moment, I wish to speak in support of my noble friend Lord Harlech on the need to have certa

My Lords, it is an honour to follow the noble and gallant Lord. I rise to support my noble friends and speak in opposition to Clause 38 standing part of the Bill. I am always keen to champion improvements in governance. In the case of the Reserve Forc

My Lords, I add my thanks to the noble Baroness, Lady Morgan, for securing today’s debate. I will focus on an area too often treated as niche, but which I believe tests our whole approach to skills, vocational training and further and higher education. I

I am really confused about what “with due regard” would mean given the Minister’s comment just now that health services must be based on clinical priorities. In the case of a reservist being called up and failing pre-callout checks because of something s

I support my noble friend and declare an interest in that my daughter is a serving member of the reserves. Amendment 7 would have helped her enormously in the autumn when she received her call-up papers to join the Welsh Guards in Kenya. She had a wisdom

2026-09-02 Armed Forces Bill
My Lords, I thank all noble Lords who have spoken in this debate, which seems to me to be one about fairness and about anomalies in the Bill, and I thank the Minister for his reply. I make no apology for highlighting the unique position of the RFA, which

My Lords, this first group of amendments addresses the scope of the Armed Forces covenant. I will speak to Amendments 1, 2, 3 and 4 in my name, and I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Smith of Newnham, for her support. They all relate to page 2 of the Bill

My Lords, one of the stresses for mothers, and indeed parents, and their mental health post traumatic birth is having a child in NICU. I understand that hospitals such as Alder Hey have piloted schemes where parents have been involved with the care of th

My Lords, I declare my interest as the co-chair of the APPG for dance. Bringing it back to matters cultural, this report highlights that dance companies lost £4.5 million in international revenue between 2022 and 2024. The report comes on the back of the

My Lords, like others, I start by welcoming this Armed Forces Bill. There are many measures within it that have been identified today that are in urgent need of our attention, such as the provisions to ensure that service personnel and their families hav

My Lords, I will follow on from the excellent question and suggestions from the noble Baroness, Lady Watkins, about specialist nurses being fast-tracked into midwifery. Donna Ockenden’s report found that many student and newly qualified midwives feel the
