2026-06-22 NHS: Dementia Treatment Trials
My Lords, Wes Streeting was absolutely right when he said that prevention is better than cure. The onset of dementia can be delayed by regular exercise and eating healthily, but the facts are that one in three adults is not taking the recommended NHS gui
2026-06-18 Steel Tariffs
My Lords, the British Chambers of Commerce has said that the changes “could add millions of pounds to manufacturers’ costs”. Why do the Government want to add more costs to UK industry, which is already reeling from the increased national insurance
2026-06-11 Misinformation: Social Market Foundation Report
My Lords, it is not just about elections; social media exposes under-16s to relentless misinformation. It distorts their understanding of reality, fuels anxiety and fear, and normalises hateful or dangerous ideas. My noble friend Lord Bailey mentioned he
2026-06-10 Mindanao Earthquake
My Lords, the safety and well-being of those living in and around General Santos City is the only thing that matters right now. But, following on from my noble friend Lady Sugg, on a practical level, we have some brilliant UK-based firms with internation
2026-06-08 South East Water: Disruption of Supply
My Lords, climate experts are predicting that a super El Niño this autumn could lead to 2027 being the hottest year on record. We know this today, so what exactly are the Government doing now to prepare the country in advance and avoid the disruption to
2026-06-04 Fertility Treatment Regulation
My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Deech, for her focus on this subject, drawing on her extensive experience in the sector, including chairing the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority for eight years. I also highlight the deep knowledge o
2026-06-04 Young People and Work
Alan Milburn’s report highlighted the harms of social media for young people. Just a few weeks ago, the front page of the Mirror newspaper ran with the headline, “Kids’ social media ban within weeks”, citing Liz Kendall. Can the Minister please give us a

2026-06-03 World Cup Ticket Prices
My Lords, the World Cup brings together communities and breaks down barriers, but the reality is that not all UK football fans have reliable broadband or smart TVs for streaming. So will the Government act to fund libraries, community centres and jobcent
2026-06-03 Access to Nature Green Paper
My Lords, enjoying access to nature, combined with physical activity, is medically proven to result in healthier, more prosperous and happier communities. The Minister mentioned the Environmental Improvement Plan: will she commit to the target within tha
2026-06-02 Steel Import Restrictions
My Lords, consumers do not buy raw steel, but they do buy the things made from it. Tariffs cause a squeeze on real wages as more household income goes on goods whose prices have been pushed up by input costs. Why would any Government want that?
2026-03-26 Learning Disabilities: Health and Social Care Access
My Lords, I thank all noble Lords for their valuable contributions, including the noble Lord, Lord Scriven, and the noble Baroness, Lady Ramsey, for their lived experience of this important issue. Ensuring that people who live with learning disabilities
2026-03-23 UK Steel Strategy
My noble friend Lord Sharpe quite rightly said that open markets are good and, following on from my noble friend Lord Harper, it is quite correct that economists may say that the uncertainty of tariff policy is not favourable for employment or investment
2026-03-20 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, before I speak to the substance of the amendments in this group, I pay tribute to the noble Baronesses, Lady Nicholson, Lady Berridge, Lady Fraser of Craigmaddie, Lady Grey-Thompson, Lady Hollins and Lady O’Loan, and the right reverend Prelate
2026-03-20 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, it is a hallmark of the noble Lord, Lord Moylan, to make valuable contributions to debates in your Lordships’ House, and today is no different. The noble Lord is living proof that an average, median or mean life expectancy is incredibly difficu
2026-03-19 UK Energy Sources and Cost of Energy
To ask His Majesty’s Government, following the recent military strikes in Iran and Qatar, what steps they are taking to secure UK energy sources and reduce the cost of energy for UK citizens.
2026-03-19 UK Energy Sources and Cost of Energy
My Lords, I thank the Minister for his response. Last night’s escalation proved that we should not be dependent on imported oil and gas and that the UK must make use of its domestic energy supplies. Given this and the fact that, by autumn, we could be pr
2026-03-17 National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Regulations 2026
My Lords, following on from my noble friend Lord Sharpe, I ask the Minister, the noble Lord, Lord Leong, who has vast, successful business experience, why he thinks that Sir Tony Blair said, via his institute, just two weeks ago that Labour’s policies—su
2026-03-17 Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Act 2022 (Consequential Amendments) Order 2026
My Lords, this is a technical but necessary instrument made under the Government of Wales Act 2006, ensuring that the statute book reflects the reforms introduced by the Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Act 2022. That Act abolished the Higher Educ
2026-03-17 Further Education (Initial Teacher Training) Regulations 2026
My Lords, His Majesty’s loyal Opposition agree that all initial teacher training courses should set and achieve the highest possible standards so that every learner benefits from high-quality teaching. There is no disagreement across this Committee about
2026-03-17 Plan 2 Student Loans: Repayment Terms
My Lords, it appears that EU officials are demanding that EU students pay home fees rather than international fees in order to benefit from a UK university education under a new youth mobility scheme. This was not in the framework signed last year. It ma
2026-03-17 Higher Education (Fee Limits and Fee Limit Condition) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2026
My Lords, like the noble Lord, Lord Mohammed, I would like to register my interest: my daughter is a first-year student. These changes will probably not impact me because she pays and has a student loan, but, just for the record, I have a daughter who is
2026-03-13 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, these amendments make fundamental changes to the process by which a person is able to access assistance with ending their life under the Bill. It is clear that the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, has put great care and thought into these proposals
2026-03-13 Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, debate on this group, as with every group thus far in the Bill, has been extensive and in depth. We have heard from around 19 noble Lords on over 70 amendments. His Majesty’s loyal Opposition do not believe that it would be an effective use of
2026-03-12 Schools (Recording and Reporting of Seclusion and Restraint) (England) Regulations 2025
My Lords, I thank the Minister for bringing forward this statutory instrument. We understand His Majesty’s Government’s intention. It has been some years since the last update on reasonable force policy, and there has never been a consistent and standard
