  • Music Teachers: Recruitment - Question 20 Jul 2026

    My Lords, if the Government are serious about expanding arts opportunities, along with other opportunities outside the core curriculum, do they accept that they not only have to be aggressive about recruiting teachers but must make sure that they reach those groups who cannot get there through the private sector? If you want equality, you have to have teachers in schools across the board who...

  • Government Record on Education, Employment and Welfare - Motion to Take Note 16 Jul 2026

    My Lords, I am afraid I could have predicted some of the lines of this debate. Indeed, in the first speech, we heard the noble Baroness, Lady Evans, saying how dreadful everything is. The response from the noble Lord, Lord Rooker, reminded me of a guard dog having its tail stood on. He went back, justifiably, because what have we got here? We have the Government doing what Governments always...

  • Sporting Events Bill [HL] - Report: Amendment 46 15 Jul 2026

    My Lords, very briefly, I do not think a worker on a special event should have any fewer rights than a worker on any other occasion.

  • Sporting Events Bill [HL] - Report: Amendment 43 15 Jul 2026

    My Lords, we come to a little triumvirate of amendments standing in my name. To take them in order, we start with the infrastructure requirements for providing any games or championship. I will not go over old ground, but I would like some assurance from the Minister about what process the Government expect to follow to make sure we get the infrastructure right. There are certain models, such...

  • Sporting Events Bill [HL] - Report: Amendment 43 15 Jul 2026

    I thank the Minister for her reply and the noble Lord, Lord Parkinson, for his amendment. I should have commented on it, because it is a sensible suggestion. We are at the start of a positive dialogue about building. The Government had a good idea on which they should have been bolder. These are all things that would have strengthened the Bill if there were in it but are probably not...

  • Sporting Events Bill [HL] - Report: Amendment 17 15 Jul 2026

    My Lords, I appreciate that the Government think that they are doing something, but we have been waiting too long. I think we need something in the Bill to encourage this. I beg to move. Ayes 57, Noes 154.

  • Sporting Events Bill [HL] - Report: Amendment 15 15 Jul 2026

    My Lords, I have Amendment 17 in this group, but before I speak to it, I thank the Government for many of their amendments. They have clearly listened to the problems raised. Generally speaking, this has been a Bill of good relationships. We had a meeting on Amendment 17 and the Minister brought officials in, but I made it clear that we think more should be done about ticket touting. Ticket...

  • Sporting Events Bill [HL] - Report: Amendment 14 15 Jul 2026

    My Lords, this is an interesting set of amendments. I think the most appealing one in the context of the Bill is from the noble Lord, Lord Harlech. There is a general principle that might be better addressed in other legislation that goes further. I will be interested to hear what the Government have to say, but I think this is the start of the process, not the end of it. We shall see.
