Neil O'Brien: ...based on different methodologies. It is likely that a combination of factors has contributed to excess deaths over winter 2022/23, including high flu prevalence, cold, the ongoing challenges of COVID-19 and health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. We are taking steps to help reduce excess deaths, including those which involve COVID-19, and those due to other factors.
Lord Markham: There has been no reduction of the number of funded university places from 10,000 to 7,500 per annum in England. In 2020 and 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to adjust school A-Level exams, the Government temporarily lifted the cap on medical school places for students obtaining the required A-Level grades and holding an offer from a Medical School in England resulting in...
Baroness Barran: ...school and ready to learn is crucial to pupils’ attainment, wellbeing, and wider life chances. The department's focus is on supporting children and young people to recover from the disruption of COVID-19 through a multi-year programme and has made available almost £5 billion for education recovery. This includes nearly £2 billion of direct funding to schools so they can deliver...
Baroness Barran: ...identified poorly ventilated teaching spaces. In November 2022, we re-opened the scheme for eligible settings with identified poor ventilation to receive department-funded HEPA devices.

Baroness Armstrong of Hill Top: ...There are specific things going on now which I never had to deal with when I was doing detached youth work, or even before then working as a social worker. This commission was set up at the end of Covid. We know that many children had been very lonely and stuck in their rooms on social media, which was corrosive and damaging, and through which predators were able to reach out to them. Some...
Robbie Moore: ...About four years ago, a planning application was submitted to the local authority for eight or 10 light industrial units. It did not get any traction from the local authority until the early in the covid period. During the covid period, the units got built and occupied, and now those businesses are flourishing. The demand is there; we just need to increase the speed. Of course we want to...
Helen Grant: ...learning, but also on special measures to address violence in and out of school and other safeguarding issues. In Nigeria, I saw how our teams on the ground have adapted programmes to respond to covid school closures. They achieved that through community-based learning programmes, the recording of radio and TV lessons, and accelerated learning programmes to help children catch up. I had...
Daniel Poulter: ...choices document, and made a recommendation that advance choices should be a statutory right. The number of children and young people experiencing mental distress has risen dramatically since the covid-19 pandemic. Children and young people continue to be placed in adult wards or in hospitals far from home due to the lack of appropriate care placements. The draft Bill misses a crucial...
Lord Houghton of Richmond: ...and societally, unable to successfully recruit and retain. We have, by choice, reduced our military manpower strength; and, perhaps most remarkably of all, given the lessons from Ukraine and Covid, we have again neglected our Reserve Forces and have no plan in motion to address their purpose or vibrancy—although we have plenty of unacknowledged studies. I pause here to declare a personal...
