Representation of young people in government policy development and decision-making processes, in light of the report: 'Youth Voices 2024' published by the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award on 23 July – Baroness Anelay of St Johns.
Baroness Hayman of Ullock: ...before such rules were finalised. I also reassure noble Lords that Ofwat will issue a policy consultation in October on the scope of the rules. Consumers were mentioned a number of times. First, on representation on boards, as we go through the Bill, we will look at this in more detail, but the idea behind the Bill is that Ofwat will be required to issue rules on consumer representation....
Jeremy Corbyn: ...I welcome the Bill, because ending no-fault eviction and providing security of tenure is a huge step forward. Providing for some predictability when it comes to getting repairs done and rights of representation is good, and the role of local government in these measures is also good. However, unless we address the fundamental issue of very high rents in the private rented sector, we will...
Janet Daby: ...of Grace Gourlay’s achievements. Skills England will work together with combined authorities and other places with devolved deals, as well as with other regional organisations such as employer representation bodies, to ensure that regional and national skills needs are met at all levels, from essential skills to those delivered via higher education, in line with the forthcoming...
Lord Mackenzie of Framwellgate: I thank the Minister for her Answer. Following representations by an English A-Level student with three straight As, I looked at the UCAS site for courses on computer science and saw the following notice: “This course has limited vacancies, and is no longer accepting applications from some students. See the list below for where you normally live, to check if you’re eligible to apply”....
Julian Smith: ...earlier in the year under the previous Government, at the time of the “Safeguarding the Union” agreement, and the decisions made then were part of that deal. The Secretary of State is making representations on the deals, but I urge him to bear in mind that this was discussed earlier in the year and was part of the overall agreement made to get Stormont back up and running.
Mary Creagh: It is an honour to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Twigg. I congratulate the hon. Member for Bridgwater (Sir Ashley Fox) on securing this debate and on his excellent representation of his constituents’ views here today. I begin by saying that this is the subject of a live planning case and I am sure that hon. Members will understand the limits on what I can say. However, I can assure...
Keir Starmer: ...knows, decisions will be set out under the third road investment strategy. I know that the Roads Minister, my hon. Friend the Member for Nottingham South (Lilian Greenwood), will have heard her representations and will agree to a meeting, if that is what she would like.
Helen Whately: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has received recent representations on the potential merits of introducing a national pay-per-mile road tax.
John Glen: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department has received representations from trade unions on civil service (a) external spending on equality, diversity and inclusion policies, (b) staff responsible for equality, diversity and inclusion policies, (c) diversity networks and (d) guidance on equality, diversity and inclusion policies since 4 July 2024.
Steve Reed: I am grateful to the right hon. Member for his intervention and for the representations that he has made to me personally on this issue. I know that he feels passionately about it and, indeed, it is a very important issue. I am afraid that we will need to wait until the conclusion of the spending review, which is normal practice in government, but his words have been heard and his concerns...

Maggie Chapman: ...destitution that has been inflicted upon us by the UK immigration system. It also means ensuring that the third sector has the multiyear funding that it needs to do its invaluable work of support, representation and justice every day.
...see some of that. The Government will also bring forward an industrial strategy, and linked to that will be our energy policy. I think there is such a good opportunity within those—we will have representation from industry, which understands some of the issues, and there will be representatives from our investors across the sector. From our members’ feedback, I think that is where they...
Lord Hanson of Flint: ...this operation have found it legitimate and proportionate. This is a complex matter with significant history, which I am approaching with an open mind. To that end, I will listen carefully to any representations that noble Lords make on the issue.
John Milne: ...not great for democracy. So many people have come up to me since the election and said it is the first time their vote has ever counted. Horsham’s turnout was over 70%, and if we had proportional representation, we would see that level of engagement everywhere. For most of my life, I worked as a creative director in advertising, before becoming a local councillor five years ago. I would...

Conor Murphy: ...investment. I am sure that, when the Member meets businesses, she hears the same. I am interested to see what changes the current Government might make in relation to that. Of course, we will make representations like that to them, to say that we need to see the benefit coming back to us.
David Simmonds: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether her Department has received representations on abolishing the Right to Buy from (a) the Mayor of London, (b) London Boroughs, (c) the London Councils organisation and (d) the Mayor of Greater Manchester.
Susan Murray: ...; they want to vote positively for things. Thomas Muir of Huntershill in Bishopbriggs was a famous son of Mid Dunbartonshire. At the end of the 18th century, he was a strenuous advocate of equal representation of the people in the House of the people, where I stand today. He said: “I have devoted myself to the cause of the people. It is a good cause. It shall ultimately prevail. It shall...
