Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I cannot tell you how disappointed I am to see this important Bill come down to this. I feel very strongly for the sponsors, as well, over some of the accusations that have been made here. I am not a medical or a legal specialist, but I am goin

Midwives: Graduate Guarantee

NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics
My Lords, if the Government are concerned with safeguarding those aged 18 to 25, can the Minister set out what assessment has been made of the documented harms caused by multi-year waiting lists, including serious impacts on mental health, physical well-

Curriculum and Assessment Review
My Lords, I congratulate the noble Lord, Lord Freyberg, on securing this debate. It is much needed. I agree with a lot of the comments that have been made so far. I want to go a little off-piste and talk about teaching about religion and belief in state

Equality Act 2010: Section 106
My Lords, the implementation of Section 106 is going to help a great deal, whenever it comes. As well as this, is there some way that there could be a recommendation that all parties report that they have considered prioritising gender equality in their

International Women’s Day
I was just having a little nap there—as if I could be, after all the absolutely brilliant speeches we have had today; they have been quite remarkable. I start by welcoming the newcomers to this House; it was absolutely fascinating learning about the dive

International Women’s Day
I like that “ah”.
I use the word “celebrate” advisedly, because over the years some issues change, but the basic premise that most women are more vulnerable and have fewer opportunities than men persists—and I am talking only about this country, where

NHS: Violence Against NHS Staff
My Lords, the level of violence towards staff in healthcare settings which the Minister has just mentioned is unacceptable. The 2024 NHS staff survey found that violence had increased since 2023, with a quarter of the workplace reporting harassment. Give

LGBT Veterans Independent Review
My Lords, it seems that gay veterans have, in some ways, been delivered a double whammy: not only the central discrimination, which is the way they were discriminated against in the past, but, on top of that, the discrimination and delays in rectifying i

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
My Lords, I will speak on my Amendments 231 and then 232. Amendment 231 may be familiar to the House, as it reflects the substance of the Bill I previously brought forward on this subject, which is on spiritual, moral, social and cultural education in as

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
My Lords, I will speak to Amendment 201 in my name, which deals with the issue of faith-based selection in school admissions. This speaks to the missing data that the Schools Minister raised in Committee in the other place. The Department for Education c

Single-Sex Spaces: EHRC Guidance
My Lords, I am not surprised that the draft code is being carefully considered, as the Government say, because multiple government departments, such as health, justice, local government and employment, all need consistency in a cross-government approach.

Battery Shortage for NHS Hearing Aids
It should go without saying that rationing hearing aid batteries is totally unacceptable for some of the most vulnerable people in our society. The RNID say that the uncertainty of not knowing how long a battery will last can be very stressful, and no on

Women’s Health Strategy
My Lords, the latest data from October this year shows that there are over 576,000 women on gynaecology waiting lists and there were 130,000 new referrals in October. How will the Government address this unacceptable wait in the refreshed strategy?

My Lords, I feel quite shocked after the question from the noble Baroness, Lady Hodge. I recently went for my final invited mammogram, so I did a little research. I did not come up with that figure, and I wish I had because it changes everything I was go

Domestic Abuse: Emergency Accommodation
My Lords, victims of domestic abuse can fail to qualify to bid for a permanent home because of debt issues often not of their own making. Families and children across the country can be trapped in temporary accommodation because of debt accumulated by th

National Curriculum: Religious Education
