2026-07-16 Government Record on Education, Employment and Welfare
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
2026-07-07 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
2026-07-02 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
2026-07-01 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
2026-06-30 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
2026-06-25 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
2026-06-24 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
2026-06-22 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
2026-06-22 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
2026-06-16 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
2026-06-15 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
2026-06-15 Teachers’ Pension Scheme: Automatic Enrolment
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
2026-06-08 Children’s Social Care: Enduring Relationships Strategy
My Lords, I thank the Minister for bringing this Statement to the House and for her kind words to me earlier. I look forward to working constructively with her in the coming months, in the interests of all children and young people. We on the Conserva
2026-06-08 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
2026-06-03 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
2026-05-18 King’s Speech
My Lords, I am very grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Reid of Cardowan, for outlining, much earlier today, the challenges that this country has been facing over a period of 20 years in the rapid rates of immigration. I am also grateful—as noble Lords will
2026-03-04 Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, I support the amendments of my noble friend Lord Young of Acton and oppose the Government’s amendments in their entirety, on principle. I did not expect to be beginning in the way I am about to begin, but I want to say this because the quali
2026-02-11 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
2026-01-27 Crime and Policing Bill
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
2026-01-27 Crime and Policing Bill
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
2026-01-27 Crime and Policing Bill
That has not concerned His Majesty’s inspectorate, the Ministry of Justice or, indeed, Professor Sullivan. In fact, they make the opposite point, which is that the small numbers of trans-identifying individuals—
2026-01-27 Crime and Policing Bill
I have never spoken in this Chamber on digital ID; I want to make that clear for the record, because the noble Baroness used the plural in talking about all those present. I also want to come back on her very emotional intervention, for which I am gratef
2026-01-27 Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, I rise to move Amendment 438B, the wording of which is intended to be replaced by Amendment 438EF. I am very grateful to the noble Baroness, Lady Fox of Buckley, and the noble Lord, Lord Jackson of Peterborough, for supporting this amendment. I
2026-01-27 Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, I am sorry—it is me again. I very grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Katz, for the White Paper, which I have skim-read—I will admit that I have not read it closely—and I welcome again its contents and direction of travel on this. I tabled this
