Ash Dieback

Lord Taylor of Holbeach Excerpts

Tuesday 25th June 2019 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Parminter (LD)]

My Lords—

[Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Con)]

We will hear from the Lib Dems.

[Baroness Parminter]

I thank the Chief Whip. The Minister mentioned local authorities. What are the Government doing to support cash-strapped local authorities, which face huge bills for felling dangerous trees alongside roads and railways and in our towns and cities?

Brexit: Food Prices

Lord Taylor of Holbeach Excerpts

Tuesday 14th November 2017 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Lab)]

My Lords—

[Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Con)]

My Lords, it is Labour’s turn.

[Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton]

My Lords, will the Minister accept that his words stating that the Government are aware of the impact of rising food prices on the poorest people in the country have a hollow ring? To be aware of the problem and pursue policies that worsen the situation is a very evil act. Many of these families are suffering enormously because of the Government’s policies. Will the Minister take back the message that nobody wants to see this deprivation continue and that all benefits should be increased to account for the increase in the cost of food?
