2026-02-12 Donations to Political Parties
My Lords, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Sikka, for securing this important debate. I will be positive. Legitimacy and transparency must be at the heart of political-party finance. I share the concerns about hostile foreign states trying to exert influence
2026-02-03 Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
My Lords, I shall speak to Amendment 241 in my name. It would require the Secretary of State to commission and publish a report on the educational attainment of school-aged children with a parent in prison. This is a focused and proportionate amendment.
2026-01-16 Rare Cancers Bill
My Lords, I begin by thanking the honourable Member for Edinburgh South West for first introducing the Bill in the House of Commons, and the noble Baroness, Lady Elliott of Whitburn Bay, for bringing it to the House today. Although I have campaigned e

My Lords, it is a pleasure to follow the noble Lord, who has been incredibly kind and generous to me since I first joined the Public Services Select Committee. I am sorry that he will be leaving us very shortly. I also pay tribute to and thank the noble
2025-10-31 Ukraine
My Lords, I congratulate the noble Lord, Lord Barrow, on his maiden speech and look forward to many more of his speeches to come. I also congratulate and thank the noble Lord, Lord Coaker, for such a powerful opening, particularly in the light, perhaps,
2025-09-09 Respiratory Syncytial Virus: Vaccination Programme
My Lords, it is an honour to follow the noble Baroness, Lady Ritchie, in this important debate this evening. Summer is only just behind us, yet I have no doubt that minds of NHS leaders will already be turning to how to deal with winter pressures. The NH
2025-09-09 Interpreting Services in the Courts (Public Services Committee Report)
My Lords, I congratulate the new Minister and wish her well in her—I hope—long career. As the noble Baroness, Lady Morris, pointed out, our committee has had some success with newly-appointed Ministers lasting a little longer than some colleagues. The
2025-09-05 Absent Voting (Elections in Scotland and Wales) Bill
My Lords, as someone who has spent the vast majority of their career helping to run election campaigns across the UK, I add my support to this common-sense technical legislation. It makes no sense that a voter in Scotland and Wales can apply online for
2025-09-03 Prostate Cancer
To ask His Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to ensure that GPs proactively discuss prostate cancer with men at the highest risk; and inform them of their right to a free prostate specific antigen test.
2025-09-03 Prostate Cancer
My Lords, around one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lives. In the UK, it is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and, sadly, it causes around 12,000 deaths a year. Even more tragically, this number include
2025-07-16 Employment Rights Bill
My Lords, I add my support for Amendment 100 from my noble friend Lady Penn. I will be brief. The thing that struck me most about my noble friend Lord Harlech’s comments is that when I first returned to work after the birth of my first child, having take
2025-06-04 Special Educational Needs: Dyscalculia
My Lords, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the noble Baroness, Lady Bull, for securing this important debate but, more importantly, for making me aware of the many challenges that thousands of schoolchildren suffer from every single day.
2025-04-23 Tobacco and Vapes Bill
My Lords, I welcome the Second Reading of this important Bill. It is right that we scrutinise it carefully, and I am pleased to be following my noble friend Lord Bethell. This is a landmark piece of legislation, introduced by the previous Conservative Go
2025-03-17 Ukraine: UK Policy
My Lords, I refer the House to my support for the charity Ukrainian Action, which provides emergency support, humanitarian aid, recovery and reconstruction. It has recently launched a programme to help injured servicemen and women to rehabilitate. How
2025-01-28 New Hospital Programme Review
My Lords, I welcome the £102 million that the Minister referred to for the upgrade to GP estates. May I ask how many of those will be in Cambridgeshire? Has any assessment been made of the pressure that the upgrade of those GP estates will take off the N
2024-11-28 COP 29
My Lords, I refer the House to my entry in the register of Members’ interests. I welcome the Statement today, but can the Minister reflect on the recent COP and those over the last few years and whether the format of discussion, debate and agreement is b
2024-11-28 Voter Identification (Amendment of List of Specified Documents) Regulations 2024
My Lords, I welcome the amendment that we are discussing today, particularly in reference to the Armed Forces veteran card. It was disappointing that it was not in place for the general election earlier this year, and I very much support what the Ministe
2024-05-02 Homecare Medicines Services (Public Services Committee Report)
My Lords, it is a pleasure to take part in this debate on homecare medicine services. I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Morris of Yardley, for opening this very important debate. I also thank her for being incredibly supportive since I joined the Select C
2024-04-25 Defence Spending
My Lords, I welcome the Statement on which my noble friend is responding today. Many important questions have been raised today. Will my noble friend give us an update on, and perhaps not forget, the accommodation that our Armed Forces personnel live in,
2024-02-14 Network North
My Lords, I welcome the investment in the north and the Midlands, particularly the improvement between Newark and Nottingham. I am very aware that East Anglia is not quite in the north of England but, if I may make a plug, can my noble friend the Ministe
2024-02-05 Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill
My Lords, it is a pleasure to take part in this fifth day of Committee. I will speak to Amendments 148A and 148B, which pertain to an exclusion to the subscriptions chapter. Subscription contracts are becoming increasingly popular in our society. I suppo
2023-10-26 Representation of the People (Postal Vote Handling and Secrecy) (Amendment) Regulations 2023
That the draft Regulations laid before the House on 11 September be approved. Relevant document: 53rd Report from the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee. Considered in Grand Committee on 24 October.
2023-10-24 Representation of the People (Postal Vote Handling and Secrecy) (Amendment) Regulations 2023
That is true. I know there is one example in the Pickles review that I was on the ground for: in Bradford, at the 2005 general election. I think I am right in saying that it was not just fingerprints but analysis of signatures. The police were able to id
2023-10-24 Representation of the People (Postal Vote Handling and Secrecy) (Amendment) Regulations 2023
I will have to come back to the noble Lord on that in more detail. The point he made earlier concerns me. The potential for a bundle of ballot packs to be collected up and put through a door or letterbox is something that we really need to look at. I wil
2023-10-24 Representation of the People (Postal Vote Handling and Secrecy) (Amendment) Regulations 2023
Indeed. I would be happy to lay that out clearly in writing. The noble Lord, Lord Scriven, asked probably the most interesting question of all. Overall, the legislation and changes are there to deter. We are obviously very aware of some of the problem
