My Lords, the precision, clarity and delivery of this report show what a class act my noble friend Lady Taylor of Bolton is. When I do Learn with the Lords programmes, I explain to students that for every decision in Parliament, the elected House has the last word. There might...

My Lords, in the 1990s, when the Labour Party, via the Plant commission, looked at the age of voting, we were very sceptical about lowering it to 16. I have tracked what has happened in Scotland’s local government in the last decade, but, above all, what has really convinced me...

My Lords, I spoke for less than a minute on Second Reading and therefore I did not have an opportunity to congratulate my noble friend Lord Macintosh of Eastwood on his very powerful maiden speech. My purpose with this amendment is exactly the same as the one on the public...

I am grateful to my noble friend, but let us get this absolutely clear: the Committee in the Commons did not discuss the stuff that was dumped in the Bill after the programme Motion on Report. The Committee did not know about it. The reality is—noble Lords can read Commons...

My Lords, I am obviously not alone in enjoying the period I spent on the Economic Affairs Committee under the chairmanship of the noble Lord. I really enjoyed it—and most of his speech. It was one of the most interesting committees I have served on, but I have to say...

To ask His Majesty's Government on how many occasions since July 2024 ministers have met representatives of the Royal Osteoporosis Society.
To ask His Majesty's Government on how many occasions since July 2024 ministers have met representatives of the Royal Osteoporosis Society.
Details of ministerial meetings with external organisations and individuals are published on a quarterly basis on GOV.UK. These publications show that, on 16 December 2025, the former Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health and Prevention, Ashley Dalton MP, met the Royal Osteoporosis Society to discuss work and insights on Osteoporosis, bone health, and interventions such as Fracture Liaison Services. There have been several similar meetings at official level.
To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to a public information campaign on systemic state-sponsored non-military efforts that disrupt economic and political systems in the UK; and what assessment they have made of the impact of such a campaign on national defence and deterrence.
To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to a public information campaign on systemic state-sponsored non-military efforts that disrupt economic and political systems in the UK; and what assessment they have made of the impact of such a campaign on national defence and deterrence.
The UK faces a growing, diversifying threat from malign activity by a number of states. Our security depends on a society that is informed, prepared and able to respond with confidence to different threats or risks when it matters most.
To that end, and as set out in the Strategic Defence Review, we have established a national conversation on defence and security. Central to our whole-of-society approach is the provision of clear public information and advice on all-hazards emergency preparedness, available through the Prepare website (www.gov.uk/prepare). When people know what immediate action they should take during an emergency or significant disruption to essential services, regardless of its origin, they strengthen our national resilience.
The National Security Strategy includes further details of the UK’s strategic framework for long term deterrence of disruptive activity.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether and how Osteoporosis is considered within wider preventative health policies.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether and how Osteoporosis is considered within wider preventative health policies.
Our 10-Year Health Plan is clear that the future National Health Service must be more preventative, more integrated, and deliver more care closer to home, including for people with osteoporosis.
The Plan committed to rolling out Fracture Liaison Services across every part of the country by 2030, and we are clear that everyone at risk of fragility fractures should be able to benefit from high-quality, timely care that supports prevention, early intervention, and effective management. We are pursuing those goals across the whole pathway of fracture prevention, including improving access to diagnosis, supporting the adoption of effective treatments, and encouraging local systems to develop services that identify people at the highest risk of future fractures and intervene early.
Earlier this year, the Government announced £2.6 million of funding for 20 new DEXA bone density scanners across England. Tens of thousands of patients will benefit from faster access to bone scans as a result, helping to ensure that people with bone conditions, such as osteoporosis, get diagnosed earlier. This builds on the first wave of 13 DEXA scanners announced last year. In 2025, over 21,000 extra DEXA scans were delivered in England compared with 2024.
We continue to work closely with NHS England to improve access to fracture prevention services and to explore the best ways of supporting local systems to deliver high-quality care which meets the needs of their populations. The Government has been clear that integrated care boards are best placed to shape services for their localities and we have set expectations, through the Renewed Women’s Health Strategy, that they should prioritise community-based models when commissioning new services.
Progress in this area can be monitored through activity and outcomes reported through the Fracture Liaison Service Database.

My Lords, I make it crystal clear that I support the Bill. Indeed, I would support a tougher Bill to include better protection for whistleblowing, because prevention is better than cure. As has already been said, it is clear that, without a national oversight commission dealing with inquests and inquiries,...

Notwithstanding the technicalities of this Question—I congratulate my noble friend on doing three out of four—why do I get the impression from the past couple of years that Natural England seems to be opposed to any rural activity and any aspect of the rural way of life?
Notwithstanding the technicalities of this Question—I congratulate my noble friend on doing three out of four—why do I get the impression from the past couple of years that Natural England seems to be opposed to any rural activity and any aspect of the rural way of life?
I disagree with my noble friend. Natural England gets a lot of attention in certain areas, but it also does a lot of work that is not properly recognised.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Baroness Merron on 6 July (HL Deb col 2), how many Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) do not have a fracture liaison service in each of the NHS hospitals within the ICB.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Baroness Merron on 6 July (HL Deb col 2), how many Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) do not have a fracture liaison service in each of the NHS hospitals within the ICB.
Analysis of 2025 Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) data shows that the number of FLS’ in England has increased since 2024, from 80 to 83. These 83 services are based in 23 out of the 25 integrated care board (ICB) clusters.
Analysis of the 2025 data suggests that no ICB clusters had an FLS in each of the NHS hospitals within the ICB clusters. The number of FLS’ per ICB cluster ranged from one to eight.
To ask His Majesty's Government what are the financial or legislative barriers to making the display of food hygiene ratings mandatory in England.
To ask His Majesty's Government what are the financial or legislative barriers to making the display of food hygiene ratings mandatory in England.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is currently exploring a wide set of reforms to the existing food system, and this will include consideration of a statutory Food Hygiene Rating Scheme in England. As part of this work, the FSA will review the available legislative options and update its assessment of the associated costs and benefits of a statutory scheme. Ministers will consider proposals in due course.

To ask His Majesty's Government why they do not publish data on greenhouse gas emissions embedded within the supply chain of (1) energy intensive goods, (2) car batteries, and (3) solar panels, imported into the UK.
To ask His Majesty's Government why they do not publish data on greenhouse gas emissions embedded within the supply chain of (1) energy intensive goods, (2) car batteries, and (3) solar panels, imported into the UK.
Defra publishes annual data on greenhouse gas emissions embedded within goods and services imported into the UK here (see attached) as part of the UK and England’s Carbon Footprint.
Because of the methodology used, Defra does not hold data on these emissions at an individual product level, so the department is unable to publish estimates of greenhouse gas emissions embedded specifically within the supply chains of energy intensive goods, car batteries, and solar panels, imported into the UK.
For further information, a methodology document is published alongside the UK and England’s Carbon Footprint statistics here (see attached).
To ask His Majesty's Government how they intend to replace revenue from fuel duties in the light of the increasing adoption of electric vehicles.
To ask His Majesty's Government how they intend to replace revenue from fuel duties in the light of the increasing adoption of electric vehicles.
As more people choose to switch to cleaner, greener electric cars, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has forecast fuel duty receipts will decline to around half current levels (around £12 billion) in the 2030s in real terms. Receipts are then expected to approach zero by 2050.
That’s why in the Budget in 2025 the Government announced the introduction of Electric Vehicle Excise Duty (eVED), a new mileage charge for electric and plug-in hybrid cars, which will come into effect in April 2028. All UK-registered electric and plug-in hybrid cars will pay eVED, but the rate of eVED paid by electric vehicle drivers will be half the fuel duty rate paid by the average petrol/diesel driver, ensuring that it will still be cheaper to own and run an EV for the majority of EV drivers, with a reduced rate for plug-in hybrid drivers.
