My Lords, I welcome the Bill and refer your Lordships to my business interests, which are largely in the SME sector, as set out in the register.

Lebanon: Israel Defense Forces Operations
The noble Baroness says that the only answer is to finance the Lebanese Government and the Lebanese army. This has been tried for years and has not been successful. The only successful way of dealing with, in effect, Iran in Lebanon through Hezbollah, is

King’s Speech
My Lords, I was interested to note that in the first paragraph of the gracious Speech the King mentioned the Middle East conflict, and in the second paragraph he made the statement:

Higher Earners: Emigration
The Minister is right: HMRC has no idea of the number of people who have left the country with a high income. The Chartered Institute of Taxation and I have tried to find the information, but it does not exist. However, most helpfully, the Sunday Times l
As well as the OECD report, the respected EY Item Club has said that the economy will flatline in the second and third quarters, leading to a real risk of recession. Deloitte has said that business confidence is at its lowest since Covid, and unemploymen

Middle East
My Lords, the Minister will recall that Sir Keir Starmer changed his position and offered President Trump limited support when he said that British lives were at risk in the region. I think that was verbatim. The Jewish community was very shocked by tha

Middle East: Economic Update
My Lords, while the Minister is not transferring to the Diplomatic Service—we would miss him greatly—there does seem to be a sense of denial in the question by the noble Lord, Lord Eatwell, and the Minister’s answer. GDP is now expected to expand by just
My Lords, I will speak briefly to this group of amendments in lieu. I am grateful to my noble friend Lady Neville-Rolfe for returning these issues to the House despite the very disappointing decision to cloak all our previous amendments in the financial

Reducing Government Spending
My Lords, the ultimate judge and arbiter of the Government’s success is the bond market. As of this afternoon, 10-year gilts are at 4.91%, higher than in the famous Liz Truss era, which Members on the opposite Benches are so keen to reflect back at us, a

Reducing Government Spending

Spring Forecast Statement
My Lords, it is an honour to follow the noble Baroness, Lady Fairhead. I also speak as a member of the Finance Bill Sub-Committee of the Economic Affairs Committee—a lot of words on a business card. It was a delight to serve on it again, and I congratula

Spring Forecast Statement
As the noble Lord has invited me to intervene, I will. The point is that women live longer than men and it is much more likely that, if a person passes away, it will be the man leaving the woman to be the PR and to pay the tax.
My Lords, I shall speak principally to my Amendment 20 in respect of optional alternative arrangements. I thank the Minister for his letter of last night setting out the position on optional remuneration arrangements. I think it is fair to say that was a
My Lords, I support these amendments. I declare an interest in that I am involved with a number of small and medium-sized enterprises. These amendments mirror amendments that we tabled to the then Employment Rights Bill, because we thought that the Gover
I wish to test the opinion of the House because I do not think students can wait for subsequent legislation to be brought forward to this House, and there is a risk it might not be. Students need absolute clarity that they are not going to be punished un

My Lords, I will speak to my amendment in this first group. Needless to say, I agree with everything my noble friend Lady Neville-Rolfe said from the Front Bench. This Bill is a most unfortunate Bill. It clearly has come about because the Chancellor has
Will the Minister clarify my question on collective bargaining? In view of his earlier comments, will he clarify the situation where a person moves company within a group, which is quite common? Is that a new employment for this purpose?
With respect, that is exactly what the noble Baroness, Lady Kramer, has asked. The Minister has said that he did not say that, but he has just read it out.
