My Lords, HMRC’s own definition of free admission requires that the public can enter without pre-booking. Has the department taken legal advice on whether any charging scheme, even a partial one for foreigners, would disqualify museums from Section 33A o

My Lords, I apologise for not speaking earlier in the Bill’s passage. I have only recently become aware of how its provisions bear on freelance workers in the creative industries, and I hope the House will permit me to raise those concerns across the rel

My Lords, Amendment 209 goes to the heart of what families rightly expect schools to do: keep children safe. This is not a novel or radical proposal. It responds to a long-standing and well-evidenced failure of the current system. For too long we have re
