2026-04-14 Grenfell Tower Memorial (Expenditure) Bill
My Lords, it is an enormous privilege to take part in this thoughtful debate. I remember the shock of witnessing the charred husk of Grenfell Tower as I drove across London to do the paper review on Sky News. I remember being on air, and it was incredibl
2026-03-18 Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, Amendment 423A in my name would ask the police to cease investigations into women since the other House passed this vote back in June. Since June, in a number of cases women and mothers have been investigated. At Christmas, a woman in her 40s t
2026-03-02 Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, I want to be supportive of the Government, but I also urge them to listen really closely to what the noble Baroness, Lady Bertin, has said today, particularly in light of the Jeffrey Epstein files, as she mentioned. Pornography pervaded the Ep
2026-02-02 Crime and Policing Bill
I think we can all agree on the fact that there are a certain number of people in this Committee who have never been pregnant and never had to go through this. That does not mean that everybody else does not get to have an opinion on it, but there will b
2026-02-02 Crime and Policing Bill
The noble Baroness paints a very vivid picture of how traumatic it is for a woman to go through this once late-term. I am sure all of us would agree that nobody would do this lightly. Does that not reinforce why it is so important that the woman should n

2026-02-02 Crime and Policing Bill
I absolutely agree that we must think about who is the most vulnerable, but the point is that we have heard a lot of language about the rights of the unborn child. As the noble Lord, Lord Pannick, said, however, what about the rights of the living woman—
2026-02-02 Crime and Policing Bill
I hear the noble Baroness’s point, but I think this is really important. The outside world will look at some of the comments that have been made in this Chamber and will look at the age profile of those making them. That is okay; it is the truth. I am ju
2026-02-02 Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, I want to speak to Amendment 459C, to which my name is attached. I very much support Clause 191, which I believe would modernise our society, but Amendment 459C would halt ongoing criminal investigations and prosecutions for repealed abortion o
2026-01-21 Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy
I thank the Minister for that Answer, and I genuinely welcome the strategy, particularly because, for the first time ever, it focuses on engaging boys and young men. They must be part of the solution, and they too can be victims of the very aggressive, v
2026-01-21 Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy
To ask His Majesty’s Government what plans they have to implement the violence against women and girls strategy, published on 18 December 2025.
2025-10-16 Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, I very much welcome the Bill, especially measures to tackle anti-social behaviour and shoplifting. I thank my noble friend Lord Hanson for visiting Brixton just before the summer, where he met with local shop workers and local businesses. We we
2025-09-09 Child Houses for Child Victims of Sexual Abuse
My Lords, just before we broke up for summer, I invited victims of the Pakistani rape gangs to come into Parliament and tell their stories. I thank many noble Lords from across the House who came to that. It was shocking to hear that one of the victims s
2025-07-24 Voting at 16
My Lords, this policy is very welcome. It is always good to extend the franchise, particularly after the voter ID fiasco of recent years, but education is going to be incredibly important, so that young people can use this new right. What plans do the Go
2025-06-18 Child Sexual Exploitation: Casey Report
My Lords, it is so important that both sides do not play politics. The reality is that none of our parties has covered themselves with glory, including my own—I absolutely put my hands up to that. It was not that long ago when a Conservative prospective
2025-06-18 Child Sexual Abuse and Rape Gangs Inquiry
I thank my noble friend the Minister for his Answer. I welcome this inquiry. I just want to say that, as a Muslim woman, I apologise profoundly for what these wicked men have done to white, working-class girls. Many of us feel deeply ashamed. Let us not

To ask His Majesty’s Government what plans they have to ensure the statutory inquiry into child sexual abuse and rape gangs is conducted swiftly and does not delay justice for victims.
2025-04-30 Child Rape Gangs
My Lords, on the comments that were just made, I begin by saying that as a British Muslim I was absolutely disgusted by the stories that have emerged about these grooming gangs. On behalf of my community, I would like to apologise for these sickening, de
2025-04-24 British Steel
My Lords, could the Minister give us any indication of how much of the steel that we hope will still be produced in Scunthorpe will be used for the defence equipment that we may have to produce in this country now because of our changing defence situatio
2025-04-02 Free School Meals
My Lords, I am sure we all agree that we want our children to be well fed at school. Hungry children cannot learn. Picking up on the comments, particularly from the noble Lord, Lord Watson, there is still a lot of stigma around enrolling for this. Could
2025-03-27 Employment Rights Bill
My Lords, it is a great honour to be the first to congratulate my noble friend Lady Berger on that truly wonderful maiden speech. There is no doubt that her great-uncle would be beaming with pride. He sounds like he was quite a character—he would be good
2025-03-20 Crown Court Criminal Case Backlog
My Lords, I add my congratulations to my noble friend Lady Longfield on her excellent maiden speech. She has been such a force for good in public life, speaking up for young people, and I know she will make a fantastic contribution. She is also my roomma
2025-03-13 Integration and Community Cohesion
My Lords, I begin by paying tribute to my noble friend—my good friend—the Minister, Lord Khan, who is doing a really terrific job. This is not an easy gig, particularly in these days of inflamed social tensions. He does his work with great energy, compas
2025-03-06 International Women’s Day
