My Lords, I also thank the Minister, in particular for the exemplary way he has engaged with those of us who are Back-Benchers and on the Cross Benches over specific issues, and how he has facilitated moving forwards. If I may inform him, I have managed to secure a meeting with the CAA tomorrow morning, thanks to his intervention. I know that those who are disabled are also greatly relieved...

My Lords, the report highlights that, for almost two-thirds of these patients, there was no assessment of mental capacity. However, when people are ill and frightened, mental capacity is incredibly important for being able to communicate with people, to make a diagnosis and to monitor a response to treatment. Without communication, of course the outcomes are worse than they might otherwise...

My Lords, I remind the House that I am president of the CO Research Trust. Cabin air quality is a critical issue. I am grateful to my noble friend Lord Empey for the way he introduced this group, and for co-signing my amendment. My Amendment 37 would create a statutory duty on air operators to install continuous active monitoring for carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds in the...

My Lords, some employers are now adhering to the principles of Hugh’s law when there is a seriously or critically ill child and those unpaid carers are particularly severely affected. Will the consultation cover the issue of children who are very seriously ill? Will the Government also consider —and I declare my interest in Cardiff University—monitoring the family-reported outcome...

My Lords, my noble friend Lady Deech is to be congratulated on securing this crucial debate. As a current pro-chancellor at Cardiff University and a previous chair of council at Cardiff Metropolitan, I suggest that this debate should not be framed as a choice between affordability for students and sustainability for universities. Why? Because a system unaffordable for students damages...

My Lords, we are resuming at 3.35 pm. That means that the debate was adjourned for 34 minutes. We will add injury time to the end time, so the new end time is 6.01 pm. The right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Leicester has some time left. We will resume with his speech and then proceed with the speeches in order.

Do the Government recognise that, as the report said, school staff often see the antecedents of mental health? Two areas where there is strong evidence are parental alcoholism, with a threefold increase in children considering suicide and a fivefold increase in eating disorders, and repeated physical punishment, particularly of children under the age of seven, resulting in emotional harm, so...

My Lords, given that somebody with a blood level of 50 to 80 milligrams of alcohol has a six times greater chance of dying in a road accident and, on top of that, of killing other people, when will the Government finally implement a lowering of the limit? They are aiming to have an overall decrease in road deaths of 35%, and this would significantly contribute to it.
