Nigel Farage: ...boasted in 2015 that it would use the Mediterranean to get its operatives into Europe, perhaps the European Union should have taken it more at its word. It was interesting to note that Sir Keir Starmer himself used the phrase “national security emergency” during the general election, so he is going to have to act accordingly.

the Earl of Clancarty: ...have been significantly diminished in the state sector, as the noble Baroness, Lady Garden, said, but have flourished in many independent schools.

Keir Starmer: I thank the Leader of the Opposition for the tone and substance of his response.

Keir Starmer: The Chair of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, Sir Martin Moore-Bick has today published the Inquiry’s Phase 2 Report. The report examines how it came to be that the Grenfell Tower was in the condition whereby a fire could spread so quickly and fatally, as tragically happened on 14 June 2017. A copy has been laid before each House of Parliament and I will make a statement to the House following...

Lord Bilimoria: ...wrong pandemic. Key findings from the external research included inadequate test, trace and isolate systems, as mentioned by the Minister, the noble Baroness, Lady Merron.
