National Minimum Wage Legislation - Question (21 Mar 2024)

Lord Offord of Garvel: Since the introduction of the national minimum wage in 1999, the Government have ordered employers to repay over £173 million to 1.4 million workers. It is far more effective that the employers are made to pay the workers than be dragged through courts, which delays payments to workers and does not provide any respite. I am interested in the fact that this is the 25th anniversary of the...

7. Plaid Cymru Debate: Barnett formula (20 Mar 2024)

Mike Hedges: ...this year to make up for the fact they were going into government again; and they've had at least two others, which I've written about in the past, where they've just been given money. It's a minimum, and if they want to give £1 billion or £300 million or £400 million to Northern Ireland, they can, but it does mean that they don't believe the Barnett formula works. If it works for...

Relationships Education: LGBT Content — [Peter Dowd in the Chair] (18 Mar 2024)

Lloyd Russell-Moyle: ...second petition, but it is important that we recognise the concerns of those who signed the first petition. I hope those concerns can be allayed. Let us remember what we are really talking about: age-appropriate education for children. It is not the first time that people have deliberately used age-appropriate education to try to ban wider education; in fact, that is one of the ways that...

Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill (15 Mar 2024)

Flick Drummond: ...2023, which revealed that 83% of the public think that the Government should crack down on puppy smuggling. As Conservatives, we care deeply for our environment and for animal welfare. We are a nation of pet lovers. Our pets are part of our families, stopping loneliness and getting people out of the house, in the case of dog owners. In the spirit of the day, may I mention some of my pets?...

Income Tax (Charge) ( 6 Mar 2024)

Edward Leigh: ..., which is the levelling up that we were hoping to achieve at RAF Scampton, the most iconic RAF base in the country. That levelling up would involve using a 10,000-foot runway and superb heritage buildings that were the home of the Dambusters and the Red Arrows, so I appeal once again to the Government to listen to me. I have been begging them for the last year to agree to a compromise on...

Media Bill - Second Reading: Amendment to the Motion (28 Feb 2024)

Lord Bethell: ...is a different matter altogether and something I do not welcome at all, and I very much share the reservations of the noble Lord, Lord Forsyth, on that matter. I will speak on one specific subject: minimum standards for classification. As many noble Lords may know, 40 years ago Parliament passed an incredibly specific piece of legislation to regulate age ratings given to film and video...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members' Business: Fishing Industry: Capital Investment (27 Feb 2024)

Andrew Muir: ...they may encounter, yet, despite those challenges, they persevere.

Digital Exclusion (Communications and Digital Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note ( 8 Feb 2024)

Baroness Armstrong of Hill Top: ...committee, but I think the report is very important. I bring to the debate that in 2007-08, when I was at the Cabinet Office, we had a look at digital exclusion. One of the big issues then was coverage: the fact that there was so little connectivity and internet access around the country. Also, when I chaired the Public Services Committee in this House, it became very clear in many of our...

Workers (Economic Affairs Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note ( 8 Feb 2024)

Viscount Younger of Leckie: ...and my noble friend Lord Balfe mentioned looking after the workers and their dignity, giving them compassion and respect from the employer’s point of view, and of course he is quite right. My messages today are the following. Workers must feel that they want to go to work. They should feel that they are paid properly—indeed they should be paid properly—and that they have a stake in...

NHS Dentistry: Recovery and Reform - Statement ( 7 Feb 2024)

Lord Markham: ...who do not have a relationship with a dentist find it harder to get care. That is not a long-term ambition: our new patient premium will be available from next month. We are also increasing the minimum payment that dentists receive for delivering NHS treatments. This will support practices with the lowest unit of dental activity rates, or UDA, to provide more NHS care. However, we know...

Mindfulness in Schools — [James Gray in the Chair] ( 7 Feb 2024)

Damian Hinds: ...Home Office, and otherwise in Parliament, and I think social media companies can do more. Of course, we have just legislated in the Online Safety Act 2023. Most social media companies stipulate a minimum age of 13, but it is not uncommon for people to find a way around that minimum age. With the Online Safety Act, those companies will have to say how they are going to enforce that minimum...
