Independent Schools: Tax Changes
My Lords, I join others in thanking the noble Lord, Lord Lexden, for securing this debate and I welcome him back to his place. As I am also relatively new to this House, I have not had the pleasure of spending time with him and am glad that that opportun

Education and Skills Reform
My Lords, as ever, I thank the Minister for bringing this Statement to the House. Last week’s PISA results placed English pupils in the top 10 in the world for reading, maths and science. That is down to the dedication and hard work of our teachers in ex
My Lords, my congratulations to the noble Baroness, Lady Morgan of Huyton, on securing this excellent debate and my thanks to noble colleagues for their contributions. I am struck yet again by the level of expertise we have in this House and the value th

Schools: Mobile Phone Policy
My Lords, as the Minister knows, schools with effective phone bans, which means handed in and locked away, are twice as likely to be rated outstanding, with GCSE results one to two grades higher. The poorest pupils gain the most. However, the reality is
My Lords, what an excellent debate—the House at its very best. I have lost count of the number of former Ministers and Cabinet members speaking on their areas of expertise. I thank them all. What is striking is how much we agree on. No one here disagrees

Historical Forced Adoption
My Lords, I sincerely thank the Lord Privy Seal for repeating this Statement and taking the time to read it out today, as the Prime Minister did in the House of Commons. We on these Benches associate ourselves fully and without reservation with the apolo

Higher Education: Affordability and Quality
My Lords, what a superb debate the noble Baroness, Lady Deech, has secured. I thank all noble Lords this afternoon for their excellent and informed contributions. I feel the least academically qualified in the House to speak among so many doctorates, mas

Draft Conversion Practices Bill
My Lords, it should go without saying that anyone who has been subjected to violence, coercion or abuse because of who they are or whom they love deserves the full protection of the law, but this Bill provides no necessary new protections and risks crimi

University Student Finance
My Lords, I welcome the Minister’s indications in response to questions so far. However, three months on from her first announcement about poor-value courses, we are still waiting for the information that is needed for students to assess which courses th

Puberty Blockers Trial: Consent
My Lords, yesterday the Minister told the House that the PATHWAYS trial would be covered by insurance. I have been unable to identify any insurance company that will cover such treatment, even in a trial setting, so can she tell us how insurance has been

PATHWAYS Study: Puberty Suppression
My Lords, the proposed PATHWAYS puberty blockers trial for 226 children as young as 11 risks becoming a medical scandal unfolding in real time. Gender-incongruent children include some of the most vulnerable children in society, with disproportionate num

Grooming Gangs: Independent Inquiry
My Lords, may I begin first by paying testament to the tireless advocacy of the noble Baroness, Lady Casey, on behalf of the victims of grooming gangs, and the tremendous courage and persistence that she displays in public service? She has warned again

Master’s Level History Scholarships
My Lords, I join from these Benches in congratulating noble Lord, Lord Barber of Chittlehampton, on all his work to support the study of history. Higher education resources, however, are under strain, and the IFS has reported independently that some cour

Children: Physical Punishment
My Lords, it would be wrong to speak today of physical punishment without raising the evil murder of the baby Preston Davey. As the Minister knows, we on the Conservative Benches welcome her structural reforms to social care, but there is still a gap. As

Mental Health Conditions: Diagnoses
My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Baroness, Lady Maclean, for securing this debate. I am also grateful to my noble friends for their contributions so far, particularly their citation of the data, which will save me from repeating it. I am grateful to
My Lords, there is a financial crisis in higher education. The Government have acknowledged it; I do not think it is contentious. The House of Commons Education Committee recently published its report on higher education funding and how these pension con

School Admissions: Selective Inclusion
My Lords, the OECD PISA survey looks at whether the school that children attended makes a difference to their attainment. Contrary to some of the assumptions underlying the Sutton Trust report, it makes less difference which school you attend here in the

Murder of Henry Nowak
My Lords, I agree with the Minister that it is a time for calm heads, but it is also not a time for heads in the sand. As the noble Baroness, Lady Fox, has just outlined, this wicked crime and terrible tragedy has thrown up issues about the conduct of th

Ministry of Defence: Palantir Contracts
My Lords, it is of note that, as reported by openDemocracy, one of the Labour Party’s largest donations, if not the largest, of £4 million, came from a hedge fund called Quadrature, which has holdings in Blackstone. The openDemocracy website reported tha

As we are in Committee, I welcome the noble Baroness’s comments on this. The 18-category classification is the gold standard of identification. In practice, a police officer may have a conversation with a suspect. Reality needs to be injected with a bit

My Lords, the mandatory recording of ethnicity data was a recommendation of the Macpherson inquiry—it was that long ago—and it just has not happened; it has not been put on a statutory footing. So, due to the variability in collection of data up and down
