Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 January 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges has since sent a letter, signed by every medical college president, to the Secretaries of State for DSIT and DHSC about what they described as an extraordinarily moving meeting with clinicians giving personal testimony about the horrific cases they had treated. My medical colleagues here, if there are any, will know that college presidents are like cats—you cannot herd them—so, when all 23 of them agree that there is a risk, you need to be very afraid.
