Recent appearances

• Diabetic Prevention Programme - Question 23 Jun 2022

  My Lords, is it possible that it is not the course that is at fault but the people who go on it? Has the department not considered charging people a refundable attendance fee to ensure that they roll up?

• Civil Servants: Reduction in Numbers - Question 15 Jun 2022

  My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Berkeley, suggested that the private sector would hire more workers if it was involved in this. Does my noble friend accept that that might well not be true, because the private sector might get more out of existing workers, and it might indeed say that working from home is not acceptable and insist that they work in the office?

• Fire and Rehire - Question 15 Jun 2022

  My noble friend has pointed out that unemployment levels are at an all-time low, but is he not worried about the rising number of those who are not seeking work?
