Unemployment: Young People — Question (28 Nov 2011)

Lord Davies of Coity: My Lords, more than 50 years ago, when I was serving my apprenticeship, the industrial training boards had a levy and grant system that ensured that all small and medium-sized businesses produced apprentices or paid the levy if those businesses poached skilled men from the big companies.

Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) Regulations 2011: Motion to Approve ( 6 Sep 2011)

Lord Davies of Coity: My Lords, it was not my intention to participate in this debate. However, as a result of listening to the comments of many noble Lords, I am driven to say a few things.

Remembrance Sunday (Closure of Shops) Bill [HL] — Second Reading ( 1 Jul 2011)

Lord Davies of Coity: My Lords, as the Bill is supported by the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers, I feel obliged to declare an interest as a past general-secretary of the union.

If carried, the Bill will have both moral and economic significance-the moral significance far outweighs...

Finally, will the Minister meet...
