  • Social Mobility: Local Roots, Lasting Change (Social Mobility Policy Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note 4 Sep 2026

    My Lords, I welcome this report, particularly its focus on local areas, and also strongly agree with a number of previous speakers that Blackpool college, the Social Mobility Commission and Alun Francis are really inspirational. There are some important specific recommendations, but I would like to offer a couple of more general—and perhaps somewhat partly downbeat—comments. There is a...
  • Preparing for an Ageing Society (Economic Affairs Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note 4 Sep 2026

    My Lords, as a member of the committee which produced this report, I join others in congratulating the noble Lord, Lord Wood, putting on record my thanks for his outstanding chairing and my thanks to the committee staff. I want to emphasise one of the major conclusions, which the noble Lord, Lord Liddle, and others have highlighted and which I think was for many of us the major new insight:...
  • Post-16 Education and Skills: Funding - Question 2 Jul 2026

    To ask His Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to maintain real terms per-pupil funding for 16–19 year olds, as set out in the Post-16 education and skills white paper, published on 20 October 2025.
  • Post-16 Education and Skills: Funding - Question 2 Jul 2026

    My Lords, in begging leave to ask the Question standing in my name on the Order Paper, I declare an interest as a governor of a 16-19 academy.
  • Post-16 Education and Skills: Funding - Question 2 Jul 2026

    I thank the Minister for her reply and was delighted to hear the announcement yesterday. But there is a more general issue. This country, unusually, underfunds 16-19 education compared with 11-16—lower secondary—education. The post-16 White Paper was very welcome because it acknowledged the critical importance of this phase. Yesterday the Government announced an increase to previously...
  • Crime and Policing Bill - Report (6th Day) (Continued): Amendment 426C 18 Mar 2026

    I am grateful to the Minister for her comments, and indeed to everybody who was engaged in the debate. I completely accept that an abortifacient is a drug that can be used for other things. I am not sure what that has to do with my amendment, which is to do with false representation. For all the reasons I spoke about—the fact that we are throwing a bit of a bomb into a changing world rather...
  • Crime and Policing Bill - Report (6th Day) (Continued): Amendment 422E 18 Mar 2026

    My Lords, I shall speak to my Amendment 426C and thank the noble Baronesses, Lady Falkner, Lady Spielman and Lady Lawlor, for their support. I will also speak in support of Amendment 422E, to which I have added my name. Before explaining why we have tabled Amendment 426C, I give a little context. Like, I am sure, all other noble Lords, I have received a great deal of correspondence on Clause...
