Antisemitism
My Lords, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is an antisemitic hoax purporting to detail a Jewish plot for global domination. It was published in imperial Russia in 1903 and exposed as black propaganda, but it is still widely available and quoted as if

My Lords, I thank the Minister for replying to these questions. I will focus on Lebanon. There is talk about how the Lebanese army and the Lebanese Government should do this and do that, but can the Minister tell us how the Governments of the UK have red

Health-related Benefits Assessments
My Lords, can the department cope with more face-to-face assessments? How long will it take to put that into effect? Has the department come up with any other suggestions of how assessments can be made, particularly for people suffering from health issue

Fertility Treatment Regulation
My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Deech, for bringing this matter to the House. At present, the HFEA regulations are under a law that is over 35 years old, as identified by the noble Baroness, Lady Deech, and the legislation is unfit for the pur

Young People and Work
My Lords, as we have said, the Milburn review found that one million young people are now classed as NEET—the highest level for 12 years. The report warns that without further action, one in six young people could be in this position within five years. H

Breast Cancer Screening: Women Over 70
My Lords, I thank the Minister for that, but I am not sure that I want to wait until 2027. The facts are compelling. Early detection of breast cancer significantly boosts survival rates, especially of older people, some of whom might not last until 2027.

My Lords, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Wolfson, for his views. As a member of the Jewish community, I am grateful for all the speeches of sympathy that have been and are being extended to the Jewish community. I am personally grateful that between the Fi

My Lords, prior to this debate we had a Statement showing what can be done in haste, when you should stop and think, in the appointment of Lord Mandelson as the ambassador to the United States of America. I use that analogy here, because one year to move

I see. I am sorry. Forgive me, I was going on to the next group.
On Motion B1, we will abstain rather than vote against it, because we think that these things are already in process, if dealt with properly.

I am sorry to interrupt the Minister, but perhaps at this point she could tackle the point I raised, which she touched upon, which is the matching of vacancies with jobs. I gave the example of the Leicester jobcentre, which is doing this. My question, wh

My Lords, this degrouped set of amendments is very narrow in drafting but, we believe, important in principle. Amendments 105A, 114 and 115 would require the Secretary of State and the reviews and regulations under these clauses to have regard to innovat
