Education and Society - Motion to Take Note ( 8 Dec 2017)

...real dangers for democracy, which I take very seriously indeed. Aristotle has already been invoked on a number of occasions in this debate.

Broadcasting (18 Oct 2016)

Deidre Brock: ...be good: stop thinking it knows best and start learning to serve. The parallel complaint can be levelled against BBC Scotland: stop kowtowing to London as if Broadcasting House holds the great sages of the modern era. Get up and make decent programmes, including a properly resourced Scottish Six, and shout out loud if you are being underfunded.

The Economy - Motion to Take Note (28 Apr 2016)

Lord Newby: ...of the UK lies in the outcome of the EU referendum. Therefore, I intend to devote my remarks entirely to that today. In doing so, I regret the complete absence from the speakers list of the sages of the Government Privy Council Bench and, indeed, the UKIP Members of your Lordships’ House.

Business and Society — Question for Short Debate (12 Jun 2013)

Lord Sacks: ...everyone should be able to say, “I made a contribution to the common good. I gave; I did not just receive. I earned my daily bread. I did not depend on the generosity of others”.

Maimonides, our most eminent medieval scholar, held that the highest form of charity was job creation because it...

...be part of our education system, inform our political debate and form the basis for our civic communities. One of the most important values for any society is that related to the story of Ruth.
