[Lord Brookman (Lab)]

My Lords—

[Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Con)]

My Lords, I think it is the Lib Dems’ chance to speak.

--- Later in debate ---

[Lord Brookman]

My Lords—

[Lord Taylor of Holbeach]

My Lords, the noble Lord has risen before.

[Lord Brookman]

My Lords, I wanted to say a few words to let people know that I am still alive. In the House of Lords there are a variety of people, many of whom I know, who have made their way in life. Is it necessary to have a strict regime for education to allow children—my children and your children—to get forward in the future with the best interest of themselves and their families in mind? Am I talking daft or am I talking sense?
