We are served by a strong team, and particularly by a specialist adviser whom we regard highly, who puts up with a great deal of trouble from some of us at times. He is truly an asset to us. I also draw...

Iraq Inquiry - Motion to Take Note (12 Jul 2016)

Baroness Morgan of Huyton: My Lords, like others I have still not had the opportunity to read the whole report and have relied to a large extent on the executive summary. I suspect that over the coming weeks and months new insights will emerge that will be useful to us all. However, let us try today to draw the right conclusions and lessons from the Chilcot inquiry. That means we should not regurgitate the oft-repeated...

Digital Skills (Select Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note (13 Jun 2016)

Baroness Morgan of Huyton: My Lords, I thank all noble Lords who have spoken in an excellent debate. I thank the Minister for her reply and for the spirit in which she replied. These speeches have shown, as ever, the wealth of expertise and experience in this House and the strong consensus that exists across all Benches. I hope that this debate gives power to her elbow to get a comprehensive, practical, agile agenda...

Digital Skills (Select Committee Report) - Motion to Take Note (13 Jun 2016)

Baroness Morgan of Huyton: My Lords, I am delighted to introduce this debate today, and I look forward to the speeches from all those participating. This was one of those Select Committees where it is fair to say that collectively we started with a reasonably limited, though variable, amount of knowledge. It was an intense deep dive. For my part, I found the eight months stimulating, illuminating, fascinating and, yes,...

Apprenticeships — Motion to Take Note (15 Oct 2015)

Baroness Morgan of Huyton: I would also like to thank my noble friend Lady Prosser for this timely debate today. There is always a danger that we fall into collective patting on the backs and a warm glow when we talk about apprenticeships. In some ways, what we should really be proud of, arguably, were the old-style apprenticeships, so I would like to ask today: how do we look at what worked, learn the lessons of...

Social Care — Question (15 Oct 2015)

Baroness Morgan of Huyton: Does the Minister agree that one of the issues in the CQC report this morning was the hospital sector appearing to be in a level of crisis? We have also heard about the funding problems. That is directly related to the crisis in the social care system. It is one for thing for Ministers to say that the Government are aware of that but I suppose the real question is: what are the Government...

Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill — Report (3rd Day) (11 Mar 2015)

Baroness Morgan of Huyton: While I recognise that it cannot be done now in the Bill, it would be helpful to investigate the difference between work experience and internships.

Work experience cannot go on for ever; it cannot go on for week after week or month after...

Assisted Dying Bill [HL]: Second Reading (18 Jul 2014)

Baroness Morgan of Huyton: My Lords, it has been an honour to listen to the speeches today—well argued, passionate and persuasive on all sides. However, I remain of the view that I had at the start of the day and I will be brief in terms of summarising that. I support the Bill, but I particularly support the Bill going forward for proper consideration in Committee. Issues have been raised today, particularly around...

Personal Service Companies (Select Committee Report): Motion to Take Note (17 Jun 2014)

Baroness Morgan of Huyton: My Lords, I, too, served as a member of this committee, and I confess that this was not an area about which I knew a great deal at the start.

I draw attention to my entries in the register.

Queen's Speech — Debate (4th Day) (15 May 2012)

Baroness Morgan of Huyton: My Lords, I want to speak briefly about a couple of aspects of the gracious Speech. In relation to the first, I should declare an interest as chair of Ofsted. The Government's intention to improve the rates of adoption will be widely welcomed. It is both common sense and humane to want to place as many children as possible in warm and stable families, so that they can grow up with security...
