British firms are being stifled by excessive regulation and bureaucracy
The all-party House of Lords Financial Services Regulation Committee which I chair has just completed a year-long inquiry into how effective the regulators are at fulfilling their duties to boost competitiveness and growth. It’s a sad tale of a deeply entrenched culture of risk aversion, of disproportionately high costs of compliance, and of a complex regulatory landscape driven by expansion and overlap in the regulators’ remits and by the volume and scope of regulatory activity.
Foreign state ownership is a systemic threat to a free press
Last week I received an unexpected invitation to meet with Lisa Nandy, the Culture Secretary. I assumed it was to tell me that the Government was finally going to ask the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to end the uncertainty over the ownership of The Telegraph. I had raised the issue in the Lords on a number of occasions and was grateful for her courtesy.

Labour’s reform of the House of Lords is simply gerrymandering
The catastrophic collapse in the opinion polls of support for the Prime Minister is undoubtedly due to his hypocrisy on standards in public life and the realisation that the remedies promised by Labour at the election have not been thought through. Some are driven by counterproductive envy and nasty class prejudice. Reversing more than 400 years of history by imposing a tax on education is an example. House of Lords reform is another.
This wicked tax on private education is going to backfire badly
Michael Forsyth September 7, 2024 at 2:00 PM·5 min read The start of a new school year ought to be a happy time for families – full of hope for the future, tinged with perhaps a little sadness that those golden years of childhood are slipping by so quickly. This year, tens of thousands of parents are facing acute stress and anxiety as the Government introduces halfway through the school year a wicked and unprecedented tax of 20 per cent on those paying for their children’s education.
Wealth cannot be a qualification for ministerial office
What would you think if the government declared that Ministers of the Crown should be unpaid and that appointments would only be available to candidates with private means? My guess is you would conclude this was outrageous and that this practice was left behind at the time of the 1911 Parliament Act. Sadly, you would be wrong. Of the 30 ministers and whips in the House of Lords, 14 are unpaid.
QE splurge hasn't boosted growth and now poses a big risk to the economy
In 2009, when the economy was in danger of tanking in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, the Bank of England went from the conventional – cutting interest rates – to the unconventional and engaged in £50 billion of quantitative easing (QE). Over a decade later a temporary measure to deal with a severe crisis in aggregate demand has become the Bank’s main monetary policy tool, despite today’s problems being quite different to those of 2009.
Higher taxes and more bureaucracy won't deliver the growth needed to provide for the vulnerable
The British government’s latest Finance Bill runs to 417 pages and the explanatory material which purports to guide us through it another 349. Whatever happened to tax simplification? Whatever became of the government’s policy of lower, flatter, fairer, simpler taxes?

No more illusions- the economics of post-school education
You will remember Tony Blair’s announcement in 1999 that he wanted 50% of young people going into higher education. This is now the case, with the proportion of young people entering higher education increasing from 40% to 50% during the 21st century. This growth has come almost entirely from more students enrolling on to full-time undergraduate degree programmes at universities. Has this been in the best interests of students?
