Recent appearances

• State Pensions: Canada Free Trade Agreement - Question 18 Oct 2023

  My Lords, will my noble friend the Minister tell the House that we do fulfil our legal obligations to our overseas pensioners?

• Railway Stations: Ticket Office Closures - Question 20 Sep 2023

  My Lords, I travel from Banbury to Marylebone every Monday. When I approach the ticket office there is at least one person ahead of me. I hope that there will be flexibility in this: maybe some stations do not need ticket offices, but places that are busy certainly do.

• Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill - Report (2nd Day): Amendment 58 13 Jul 2023

  My Lords, I disagree wholeheartedly with my noble friend. In the lockdown period, I thought it was awful when people had to vote remotely and were charged with being on a beach somewhere. I believe that, in politics, we need each other; we need debate and discussion and to hear other points of view. I believe that doing that in person is right for a healthy democracy.
