Fiscal Outlook
My Lords, over the course of this three-hour debate, the national debt will have grown by £45 million. That might not seem like a lot of money compared with some of the figures we discuss in this Chamber, but that is 65p of additional debt for everyone i
My Lords, I read the committee’s excellent report over the Summer Recess, when I spent time in Washington DC and visited the recently opened Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream. It defines the core pillars of that dream—in other words, the cor

My Lords, it is a huge pleasure to follow my noble friend Lord Hannan, and I thank my noble friend Lord Evans for securing the debate. This is not the first time I have spoken about the million plus young people who are not in education, employment or tr

King’s Speech
My Lords, we have been lucky to hear three absolutely first-class maiden speeches today. I look forward to a fourth in just a few moments—no pressure. In the last King’s Speech debate, in July 2024, I praised the Government’s ambition to achieve an 80% e

Ministerial Salaries (Amendment) Bill
My Lords, I have been struck by the cross-party tone of this debate. I continue this tone with a short intervention on the closely related matter of how ministerial pay is determined.

Autumn Budget 2025
My Lords, I will focus on two distinct groups in society: those on welfare requiring work; and wealth creators, who are vital to job creation. Both groups have been let down by the Budget. The welfare changes are not geared towards helping people into wo
It is also worth noting that UK trade with the EU is now higher than it was in 2019, as is UK trade with the rest of the world. The referendum was over nine and a half years ago and we left the EU five and a half years ago. I think it is time to take res
My Lords, I will be brief. I thank the Library for its excellent briefing note, and all noble Lords for their thoughtful contributions. It has been a superb and stimulating debate; we should consider making it an annual fixture in the Lords calendar.
My Lords, it is a privilege to lead today’s debate on the impact of the Government’s economic and taxation policies on jobs, growth and prosperity.
I begin by noting an absent friend. I am saddened that the coming Budget will be the first in 35 years
That this House takes note of the impact of the Government’s economic and taxation policies on jobs, growth and prosperity.

Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, there are a great many aspects of the Bill with which I agree, and my understanding of it has been greatly enhanced by today’s debate. However, I am uncomfortable with Clause 191. Decriminalising abortion up to birth for women clearly marks a s

Lifelong Learning
My Lords, I would like to pick up on two points in this debate: first, the point made very well by the noble Lord, Lord Knight, on how AI is changing the requirements for lifelong learning; and, secondly, how businesses play a hugely important role in li
