EU Settlement Scheme

Lords Chamber on 21 June 201821/06/2018

My Lords, the Minister knows that we have discussed this matter across the Floor on a number of occasions, and I am very grateful for her lucidity today. I have been arguing that, for those European Union citizens who have been successfully granted perma...

National Health Service: Assaults on Staff

Lords Chamber on 20 June 201820/06/2018

I thank the Minister for his Answer. Can I give him a little help with the updated figures? Has he seen the figures produced by the Health Service Journal and Unison which show a 10% increase in violence against NHS staff in the latest year? That is just...

National Health Service: Assaults on Staff

Lords Chamber on 20 June 201820/06/2018

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many attacks on NHS staff were reported in 2016-17 and 2015-16.

Long-term Plan for the NHS

Lords Chamber on 19 June 201819/06/2018

I thank the Minister for taking the trouble to repeat the Statement made yesterday in the other place. Of course we welcome the money, but let us not get carried away. Every health trust charity believes that the increase needs to be at least 4%. Secondl...

Short-Term Holiday Lets

Lords Chamber on 19 June 201819/06/2018

My Lords, not only do short-term lets pay no local tax, they basically pay no general tax. Is the Minister aware that, unlike owners of longer-term rented properties, those with short-term lets can claim 100% tax relief on mortgage repayments and 100% ta...

Housing: Private Rented Sector

Lords Chamber on 14 June 201814/06/2018

My Lords, the Minister has indicated that there has been a considerable increase in the buy-to-let market. The informed newspapers say that it is drying up. Are they wrong?

NHS: Overseas Doctors

Lords Chamber on 12 June 201812/06/2018

My Lords, given that we are tens of thousands of doctors short, will the Minister explain to the House and, through this House to the British people, why the Government are prepared to put the British people’s health at risk by refusing thousands upon th...

Home Office: Data Breaches

Lords Chamber on 5 June 201805/06/2018

My Lords, the noble Baroness correctly referred only to the Home Office, but a lost document from any government department could be critical. Will the Minister assure us that she will draw to the attention of other departments the need to ensure the saf...

Rail Timetabling

Lords Chamber on 4 June 201804/06/2018

My Lords, does the Minister believe that it was right for Northern to announce at 5 pm on Friday that it was suspending every single train running on the Lakes Line—in an area with world heritage status—causing great difficulties for students doing their...

Tourism

Lords Chamber on 23 May 201823/05/2018

My Lords, does the Minister appreciate that in some of our national parks, the problem of tourism is actually how to manage the number of visitors? For example, in the Lake District National Park last year we had 19 million visitors; this year, it is lik...

Education (Student Support) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2018

Lords Chamber on 21 May 201821/05/2018

My Lords, I find the Government’s approach to NHS staff very perplexing indeed. They continually pay tribute to them, and I think they do understand the commitment of the workforce, yet repeatedly they take action that makes the life of nurses and other...

Tourism

Lords Chamber on 14 May 201814/05/2018

Does the Minister accept that the motor car is one of the greatest challenges to the tourist industry, and that we are not helped when railway companies, such as Northern, frequently cancel trains? Two weeks ago, 94 trains on the Lakes line into the Lake...

Short-Term Letting

Lords Chamber on 26 April 201826/04/2018

My Lords, until 2015, all landlords were able to charge all property cost against taxation. That was stopped, with the exception of holiday lets, the owners of which can charge everything, including mortgage repayment, against taxation. Are these London-...

NHS: Winter 2017-18

Lords Chamber on 18 April 201818/04/2018

I thank the Minister for his Answer. Of course, we are all very thankful indeed that we have got through the worst days of the winter, and we are grateful that new plans were put in place. However, I think we all know that we got through only due to the...

NHS: Winter 2017-18

Lords Chamber on 18 April 201818/04/2018

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the effectiveness of their plans for the NHS in dealing with the pressures during the winter of 2017-18.

Growth Deals: North of Tyne and Borderlands

Lords Chamber on 17 April 201817/04/2018

My Lords, can I come to the aid of the Minister? The difference between borderlands and the others is basically that borderlands encapsulate two nations: if you had a mayor, your mayor would have to cover an area from Stranraer right down to the Lancashi...

NHS: US Companies

Lords Chamber on 22 March 201822/03/2018

My Lords, does the Minister concede that American companies are already playing a big part in the running of the NHS? Is he aware of the Written Answer given to me by the noble Lord, Lord O’Shaughnessy, last October, which, talking about one of the three...

NHS: Staff Pay

Lords Chamber on 21 March 201821/03/2018

My Lords, of course we welcome this, but I must say that the Minister was selling it a bit hard when he said that the Government have managed the National Health Service well when they have made cuts in training which have exacerbated the situation. M...

Nurses: Training

Lords Chamber on 7 March 201807/03/2018

I thank the noble Lord for his reply, but I do not think the Government really grasp the seriousness of the shortage of nurses. In the last two years, 33% fewer students came forward. We have a shortage of 40,000 nurses and it will take years to put that...

Nurses: Training

Lords Chamber on 7 March 201807/03/2018

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what specific proposals they have to increase the number of fully trained nurses working in the National Health Service and the associated care services.
