Mental Health Conditions: Diagnoses
My Lords, I am extremely grateful to the House for allowing time for this debate and to all noble Lords who will be speaking.
Something has gone wrong when more than one in five adults in England now live with a common mental health condition such as

Mental Health Conditions: Diagnoses
To ask His Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the change in number of diagnoses of mental health conditions in each of the last five years.

Health-related Benefits Assessments
I thank the Minister for her Answer. She will know that the number of young people on health-related benefits has risen by more than 50% over the last five years and that four out of five of them are claiming for mental health or neurodiversity condition

NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics
To ask His Majesty’s Government how many patients under the age of 25 have been referred to NHS adult gender identity clinics in each of the last three years; and what safeguarding measures are in place for those individuals.

NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics
I thank the Minister for that Answer, but I wonder if she has had a chance to review the landmark study from Finland recently, which suggests very strongly that gender medicine actually has a very negative impact on vulnerable young people with complex n

Crime and Policing Bill
I thank the Minister for his comments. Just to be very clear and direct, it would be one less individual for the MAPPA arrangements to worry about, because that individual would not have changed their gender. They would still be living in their previous

Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, I will speak briefly to Amendment 307 in my name. I spoke to it in Committee and have brought it back because it is an important issue. The amendment would simply ban any convicted sex offender from obtaining a gender recognition certificate. I

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I will speak to Amendments 145 and 439 standing in my name. It is good that I previously gave way to the noble Baroness, Lady O’Loan, who is no longer in her place, because she covered a lot of the points that I was going to make about care ho
My Lords, I know from my work as an MP how sensitive this issue is and how important it is to families. I used to represent a constituency that the Minister will know very well.
There are concerns that we should not ignore. A number of eminent clinici
My Lords, it is a pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord de Clifford, who spoke about his personal experience of running a small business, which I also share.

Two-child Benefit Cap: Foreign-born Children
My Lords, I thank the Minister for that Answer. I agree that the public do support the safety net of welfare, provided that it is targeted and fair, and goes to British people rather than migrants to the country. However, the Government’s own data shows

My Lords, I always find it slightly daunting, when speaking towards the end of a debate, to follow so many eminent noble Lords. In my short time in this place, I have learned that your Lordships do not like needless repetition, so I will absolutely attem

Crime and Policing Bill
May I press the Minister on one specific point? I understand what he is saying about management of risk, but would it be possible for a convicted sex offender—a serious sex offender or rapist—to be prevented, on the basis of risk, from obtaining a gender

Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, the Gender Recognition Act 2004 was designed for a world with low demand for gender recognition certificates and did not anticipate modern safeguarding realities. I believe that that context has fundamentally changed, and that creates a serious

My Lords, there is a dismal pattern in our country in response to serious failings of the state. First, we see denials and cover-ups, then the issue gains traction, but shock and outrage quickly follow. Calls for something to be done are heard but too of
