Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 July 2025

Debate

NHS, Armed Forces and Civil Service Staff: Public Meetings

Contribution

My Lords, I start by wishing the noble Lord a happy birthday. Also, I cannot believe that any civil servant or special adviser would ever have any success in controlling the noble Lord. There is nothing unusual about efforts to make sure that government communications have a clear line. Noble Lords will remember Joe Haines and Bernard Ingham; we have always made efforts to have clear communications and we have always had PR professionals. The Grid has been around for a long time; it was introduced before I even got the vote.
