Security of Elected Representatives - Statement (29 Feb 2024)

Poverty Reduction - Motion to Take Note (22 Feb 2024)

Baroness Finlay of Llandaff: My Lords it is a very great pleasure to follow the excellent maiden speech of the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Hereford, which demonstrates clearly his commitment to rural communities.

Lord Collins of Highbury: ...any answers when she asked them, and I suspect that I will not get any today.
