Civil Service Fast Stream

Debate between Baroness Hussein-Ece and Baroness Stowell of Beeston

Monday 11th July 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Hussein-Ece (LD)]

My Lords—

[The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Stowell of Beeston) (Con)]

My Lords, several Members from the Labour Benches have asked questions and we have not had anyone from the Lib Dems for a while.

[Baroness Hussein-Ece]

My Lords, is the noble Lord aware that last week evidence emerged that staff employed in the Civil Service from black and minority ethnic communities are sometimes paid significantly less than their white counterparts? Will he assure the House that this is not the case? If he does not have the reply now, will he undertake to look into the matter and write to me?

Economic and Social Inequality

Debate between Baroness Hussein-Ece and Baroness Stowell of Beeston

Thursday 18th June 2015 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Hussein-Ece (LD)]

My Lords—

[The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Stowell of Beeston) (Con)]

My Lords, we have not yet heard from anyone from either the Liberal Democrat Benches or the Conservative Benches, but because we have so far had some contributions from the Opposition Benches, perhaps I may suggest that we start with my noble friend Lord Lang and then go to the noble Baroness, Lady Hussein-Ece.
