2026-06-11 Welfare Reforms and Youth Unemployment
My Lords, I congratulate the noble Lord, Lord Evans of Rainow, on securing this debate and on the largely non-partisan way in which he explained the problem. I would love to see cross-party consensus on welfare reform, but if we are to get that, I tot
2026-06-04 Temporary Skilled Worker Visas: Creative Occupations
My Lords, I declare an interest in that my wife was a board member of the English National Ballet for many years. I want to follow up on the original Question. It is the case, as the Home Office would know if it bothered to consult the ballet companies,
2026-05-14 King’s Speech
My Lords, it is a great pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, whose brand of Conservative politics I have always personally admired. He raises very important questions about the steel industry. However, I will make just two points. First, I agree
2026-03-24 English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill
I will just say very briefly: what a load of hypocrisy from the other side of the House. I was a member of Cumbria County Council from 2013 onwards. In 2021, a Conservative Minister took a decision to ignore our wishes and create two unitary councils in
2026-03-17 Spring Forecast Statement
My Lords, I echo the tribute from the noble Lord, Lord Bilimoria, to the noble Lord, Lord St John of Bletso, and pay tribute to his wonderful public service to this House over many years. This year, I had the great privilege of chairing a Select Commi
2026-02-26 Resetting the UK-EU Relationship (European Affairs Committee Report)
I am finishing—and it is an advisory speaking time. On defence, we face huge challenges. The transatlantic alliance now hangs by a very insecure thread, in my view. We have to be much closer to our European allies and partners and we have to get close
2026-02-26 Resetting the UK-EU Relationship (European Affairs Committee Report)
My Lords, I join in the congratulations to the noble Lord, Lord Ricketts, on the excellent report he has produced, which is exactly what I would expect of a committee which he chaired. However, our debate today has shown the difficulties he had in produc
2026-01-29 UK-EU Customs Union
Do you know why we won the Uruguay round? It is because we had the strength of the bloc of the European Union behind us. It was not just something that Britain achieved on its own. Secondly, the noble Lord talks about the stagnation in our export of g
2026-01-29 UK-EU Customs Union
My Lords, it is a great pleasure to welcome my new colleagues who are making their maiden speeches today—my noble friends Lady Gill and Lord Docherty, my good friend who is to come later, and my noble friend Lord Doyle, who is a very close friend and fro
2026-01-26 Water White Paper
My Lords, I congratulate the Government on producing this White Paper and on putting into effect the excellent work that Sir Jon Cunliffe did in his review. The water industry has been an example of the worst of the capitalist system—not value creatio
2026-01-19 Northern Powerhouse Rail
My Lords, I accept the incrementalism of the plan, but can the Minister give us a little more detail about how it will be managed? What will be the role of the northern mayors? Is funding to be solely from the Treasury, or will it be regionally based? Ar
2025-11-13 Economic and Taxation Policies: Jobs, Growth and Prosperity
I open by congratulating the noble Lord, Lord Elliott, on an extremely well-argued speech—even politically balanced, at times. It was a complete contrast to the barrage of criticism that we have had from the Opposition Benches throughout this debate. It
2025-11-04 Power Struggle: Delivering Great Britain’s Electricity Grid Infrastructure (Industry and Regulators Committee Report)
My Lords, I rise to speak briefly in this debate without having the benefit of being on the committee or without any of the great expertise that others have shown. However, I congratulate the noble Baroness, Lady Taylor, on her committee’s work; it is a
2025-10-23 Steel Industry (Special Measures) Act 2025
I join in the general congratulations of the House to the noble Baroness, Lady Lloyd, on her new appointment and what was an excellent maiden speech. I have known Liz for some 30 years. I remember her coming as a bright young thing—she is still a bright
2025-10-16 Music and Dance Schools: Affordable Access
My Lords, first, I must say how much we miss Lord Lipsey in this debate as he was totally committed to the cause that we are discussing today. I support those who have spoken eloquently in favour of the future of the music and dance scheme and scholarsh
2025-09-10 Child Poverty Strategy
I very much welcome what the Minister has said about producing a strategy and the actions in the face of economic difficulties that the Government have already taken, but does the Minister accept that further progress is going to be challenging, given th
2025-09-10 Child Poverty Strategy
To ask His Majesty’s Government what progress they have made towards developing their child poverty strategy.
2025-07-24 Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, I speak briefly to make an apology. I have Amendment 71 in a later group, but I have to catch an Avanti train to Carlisle—and that, as my noble friend Lord Hendy will know, is a bit of a hazardous process these days. So I probably will not be h
2025-07-22 Universal Credit Bill
First, in her absence, I congratulate the noble Baroness, Lady Shawcross-Wolfson, on a very graceful maiden speech. I say to the noble Lord, Lord Elliott, that if he goes ahead with the idea of having meetings of former heads of the No. 10 policy unit, I
2025-07-10 Tax Increases
My Lords, is it not the case that we have a serious long-term question here, beyond what the Chancellor will do in the next year? We have underlying pressures on defence and demography, on top of which we have the reforms on disabilities and SEND in scho
2025-07-01 G7 and NATO Summits
My Lords, I welcome what the Lord Privy Seal has said about Ukraine, the role of the Americans in Ukraine and—if I might add—the role of the British in keeping the Americans onside in support of Ukraine. But is it not the case that, if one looks at this
2025-06-25 Planning and Infrastructure Bill
My Lords, this is a crucial Bill. It is a key enabler of this Government’s programme to get Britain building again, tackle the housing crisis, and build the infrastructure that levels up the country and enables it to grow while at the same time achieving
2025-06-03 Employment Rights Bill
I came into this debate by chance, but it seems to me that this is part of a very undesirable development: an attack on the principle of equality, diversity and inclusion policies. These principles are at the heart of my politics. I have fought for racia
2025-06-02 Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]
It seems obvious that we have a technological revolution under way, and we have to consider how best we can protect the creative industries in that situation. It is a completely different world that we are now moving into. Peter Kyle is saying that AI c
2025-06-02 Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]
Well, I do not quite see how passing this amendment is going to solve the problem; let us put it like that.
