Tuesday 19th June 2018 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Walmsley (LD)]

My Lords—

[Baroness Manzoor (Con)]

It is the turn of the Liberal Democrat Benches.

[Baroness Hollins (CB)]

My Lords—

[Baroness Manzoor]

My Lords, it is the turn of the Cross Benches.

[Baroness Hollins]

My Lords, there is much concern in this House about social care. Can the Minister confirm that the now-promised social care plan will address not only the needs of older people but the needs of all vulnerable people of all ages? It is a little-known fact that the cost of meeting the needs of people with learning disabilities will soon overtake the cost of care of the growing number of older people. It is really important to address that.

[Baroness Ludford (LD)]

My Lords—

[Baroness Manzoor]

My Lords, we have plenty of time. It is the turn of the Lib Dem Benches.

[Baroness Ludford]

My Lords, further to the question from the noble Lord, Lord Davies, is it not true that the OBR forecast budget deficit is twice our net EU contribution? We will also be making continuing payments for participation in EU programmes and agencies, let alone the £39 billion divorce Bill. Is not the Brexit dividend claim on the No. 10 website—which is a government website, not a Tory Party website—a breach of the Government’s duty to ethics, truth and accuracy?
