Biography
Lord Bilimoria has made three debate speeches addressing education and pandemic preparedness rather than the health and social care topics listed. His contributions focused on special educational needs and disabilities (including autism and dyslexia), drawing on personal experience with his own children's education, and on findings from the Covid-19 Inquiry regarding the UK's pandemic preparedness and failures in testing and isolation systems.

“…national living wage increase of 6.7%, which will raise labour costs for farmers, as well as the phasing out of direct payments. I think that many farmers will regret voting for Brexit, as many of them did, and losing so many subsidies as a result, which have not been replaced by Governments since then.”

What they’ve said
“My Lords, special educational needs, or SEN, and special education needs and disabilities, or SEND, cover a wide variety of needs, including dyslexia and autism. Two out of four of our children are dyslexic. When our younger son Josh was in kindergarten, it was spotted by a teacher.”

“My Lords, one of my favourite sayings is that good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment. The Covid-19 inquiry, chaired by the noble and learned Baroness, Lady Hallett, found that the UK was ill-prepared and lacked resilience, having prepared for the wrong pandemic.”
