Proceeding contribution from Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 June 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Russian Attacks on Civilian Infrastructure.
Russian Attacks on Civilian Infrastructure
I hesitate to be too definitive in response to this, because it is a really interesting question about how government works. Sometimes it works very well, but the noble Lord points to changing demands upon government that we do need to give more thought to in how we interact. Where it works well, it is brilliant. It is seen when we go into crisis, such as in response to the hurricane in Jamaica. At the moment, I am working very closely with colleagues in the Department of Health on Ebola. It can work very well. Whether those moments of working so effectively can become the daily norm is something the Cabinet Secretary will be bending her mind to as we speak.
