I’d encourage all #charities and #campaigns to take a look at this information about how they can engage with the @UKHouseofLords to take their cause forward. Here we see how Baroness @liz_sugg worked with the @IKWRO campaign to help make child marriage illegal in the UK. https://t.co/oSPrRwyzGt
I have granted an urgent question (private notice question) in the House of Lords to @LordRennard on the subject of strikes at the Passport Office. The question will be heard in the Lords chamber at around 3.15pm today. https://t.co/a1kZHnNyGA
As Parliament’s second chamber, the @UKHouseofLords is an effective place to engage for small #charities campaigning on an issue. Learn more about how to do it here. https://t.co/DRm3FzM1JH
Interesting talk with delegation from #Bangsamoro region of the Philippines, who are preparing for first elections to new devolved parliament established by 2014 peace agreement.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Baroness Masham of Ilton, a Paralympic gold medallist, tireless champion of disability rights and the longest-serving female member ever in the @UKHouseofLords. She will be much missed. https://t.co/QC1LVCWkmY
Just finished listening to @BertieAhernFF's fascinating account of the highs and lows of the Good Friday peace process. I played a bit part as #NorthernIreland minister at the time, but there was still a lot for me to learn from this podcast. https://t.co/lLLDR3dtsG
