Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Lab)

My Lords, I think I have about one and a half minutes to respond. I thank all noble Lords who have taken part in this debate. It has been good-natured, and I am grateful for that. I say to the noble Lord, Lord True, that I always enjoy his contributions, but we have had a good run in the House this week on the Government’s future priorities. We had the Statement yesterday with the extra 20 minutes for Back-Benchers, while my noble friend Lady Morgan’s debate earlier went to the core purpose of the Government, particularly in relation to young people and vocational training. I defend the right of Back-Benchers to lead debates on critical issues. There is very little time left. I want to come back to the issue my noble friend left on, about seeking some consensus on some of the hardest issues we face. He mentioned social care. We have had two false starts—in 2010 and then later with the pronouncement from the now noble Baroness, Lady May, and the response to it. Let us make sure we do not do that again. On climate, surely, we should work hard to try to recreate a consensus. Then there are issues such as the triple lock. We all know we have to face up to this. Again, I urge some form of debate between the different parties to see if we can reach a sensible outcome. Having said that, I am very grateful to all noble Lords who have taken part.
