Government Debt
My Lords, under the 2026-27 Treasury remit to the Debt Management Office, index-linked gilt issuances will account for 9.3% of total new gilt issuances. Why was this decision made when a quarter of UK gilts are already index-linked well above the interna

Tax Burden and Economic Growth
My Lords, there is a strong argument that the businesses hit hardest by the tax rises—notably in employers’ NICs—are small businesses with more than seven employees and medium-sized businesses. Have the Government done work to look at the impact of growt

Hospitality Industry: VAT
My Lords, back in November 2025 my party called for a 5% cut in VAT on hospitality because the situation was so dire, with at least a third of the industry operating at a loss. Will the Minister now look again at the VAT cut? Will he also follow through

My Lords, this has been an outstanding debate, and I join others in congratulating the noble Lord, Lord Bridges, on obtaining it and opening with a powerful speech. I did not agree with all of it, but it was definitely powerful.

My Lords, the online platforms know exactly what they have to do to stop online fraud; they are just choosing not to do it. The Government say that the answer will come from Ofcom, but that has certainly not worried the platforms one iota. The platforms
